Avient Reports Q3 Earnings Beat and Raises Full-Year Outlook
Materials firm Avient posted a 10.5% increase in third-quarter sales and raised its 2026 earnings forecast following strong performance across key sectors.
Avient Corporation reported third-quarter 2026 financial results that surpassed analyst expectations, driven by sales growth in its packaging, healthcare, and building and construction segments. Quarterly revenue rose 10.5% to $891 million, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) increased 23% to $0.86 compared to the same period in 2025.
CEO Mike Frank attributed the growth to a combination of strategic pricing and increased demand for the company’s technology offerings. The company’s focus on productivity initiatives resulted in an 80-basis-point expansion of adjusted EBITDA margins, which reached 17.3% for the quarter.
Financial discipline remains a priority for the firm, with $100 million in debt repaid year-to-date, including $50 million in the third quarter. Following these results, Avient raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $3.22 to $3.32, up from its previous target of $3.10 to $3.25.
