Papa John's Q3 2026 Earnings: Revenue and EPS Both Miss as Sales Slide
As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on November 5, 2026.
Adjusted EPS of $0.16 is half of last year's, and with revenue and EBITDA both missing expectations, management's full-year call for system-wide sales down about 5% leaves no second-half recovery to wait for.

Papa John's third-quarter results missed expectations across the board, with revenue of $454.8 million falling short of the $459 million estimate.
Adjusted EPS fell 50% from the same quarter a year ago, with adjusted EBITDA and global system-wide sales both contracting as well.

Management's full-year 2026 guidance offers little comfort. The company is calling for global system-wide sales to decline roughly 5%, which means there is no second-half recovery built into the official outlook.
For investors, the guidance is the key data point to sit with. When a company guides for continued top-line contraction after a quarter where earnings were cut in half year over year, the question is no longer about a temporary rough patch.
