Oaktree Specialty Lending’s third quarter results were shaped by a significant year-over-year decline in revenue, which management attributed to subdued exit activity and continued pressure in certain portfolio sectors. Despite lower sales and a drop in GAAP profit, the company’s operating margin remained stable, and management focused on improving the quality of its loan portfolio. CEO Armen Panossian noted that the team made “tangible progress reducing nonaccruals and resolving challenged investments,” with nonaccruals falling to 2.8% of the portfolio. The market responded neutrally, reflecting a view that the results generally aligned with expectations and that operational execution was steady.

Home Depot’s third quarter results for 2025 were met with a notably negative market reaction following a modest year-on-year sales increase, as non-GAAP earnings per share came in below Wall Street’s consensus. Management attributed the underperformance primarily to an absence of storm activity, which significantly impacted key product categories such as roofing and power generation, as well as ongoing consumer uncertainty and housing market weakness. CEO Ted Decker remarked, “We believe the consumer uncertainty and continued pressure in housing are disproportionately impacting home improvement demand.”

School bus company Blue Bird (NASDAQ:BLBD) reported Q3 CY2025 results topping the market’s revenue expectations, with sales up 16.9% year on year to $409.4 million. On the other hand, the company’s full-year revenue guidance of $1.5 billion at the midpoint came in 0.9% below analysts’ estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $1.32 per share was 29.1% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

BellRing Brands delivered revenue growth above Wall Street expectations in Q3, supported by rising sales volumes and consumer demand for ready-to-drink (RTD) shakes. Management attributed the quarter’s performance to promotional events, expanded distribution, and the execution of a multi-year innovation strategy. CEO Darcy Davenport highlighted that Premier Protein achieved “category-leading metrics, including the #1 household penetration and the category’s highest repeat rate,” while the overall RTD shake category continued to benefit from strong health and wellness trends.

Powell’s third quarter results surpassed Wall Street’s expectations for both revenue and earnings, yet the market responded negatively following the announcement. Management attributed the quarter’s performance to increased project execution, particularly in nonindustrial markets—such as Electric Utility and Commercial sectors—which now comprise a much larger share of backlog than five years ago. CEO Brett Cope described the quarter as a reflection of “the ongoing high level of project execution across all of our operations,” noting significant progress in diversifying beyond traditional oil and gas markets. The company also highlighted favorable gross profit margins driven by strong pricing discipline and operational throughput. However, some end markets, like oil and gas and petrochemicals, experienced softness, while the mix of projects shifted toward smaller and medium-sized orders rather than large-scale contracts.

La-Z-Boy’s third quarter results were well received by investors, with the market responding positively to a combination of strategic portfolio moves and disciplined cost management. Management attributed the steady performance to growth in its core North American upholstery business, operational improvements in its wholesale segment, and ongoing transformation of its distribution and home delivery network. CEO Melinda Whittington noted that new store openings and the acquisition of a 15-store network in the Southeast U.S. added momentum, while a focus on supply chain efficiency contributed to improved inventory management and cash flow.

Pet company Central Garden & Pet (NASDAQ:CENT) reported Q3 CY2025 results exceeding the market’s revenue expectations, with sales up 1.3% year on year to $678.2 million. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.09 per share was 54.3% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

Semiconductor company Semtech (NASDAQ:SMTC) met Wall Streets revenue expectations in Q3 CY2025, with sales up 12.8% year on year to $267 million. The company expects next quarter’s revenue to be around $273 million, coming in 2.7% above analysts’ estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.48 per share was 7.9% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

Energizer’s third quarter results were met with a significant negative reaction from the market, as investors focused on both a miss in non-GAAP profit expectations and a marked decline in operating margin compared to last year. Management pointed to robust growth in e-commerce and international markets as key drivers, alongside targeted network changes and cost savings from Project Momentum. CEO Mark LaVigne acknowledged the challenging environment, highlighting that, “tariffs have increased our costs, consumer demand softened late in the year, and supply chains required rapid rebalancing.”

Video communications platform Zoom (NASDAQ:ZM) reported Q3 CY2025 results beating Wall Street’s revenue expectations, with sales up 4.4% year on year to $1.23 billion. The company expects next quarter’s revenue to be around $1.23 billion, close to analysts’ estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $1.52 per share was 5.8% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

Aerospace and defense company Woodward (NASDAQ:WWD) reported Q3 CY2025 results exceeding the market’s revenue expectations, with sales up 16.5% year on year to $995.3 million. Its GAAP profit of $2.23 per share was 18.6% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

Electronic measurement provider Keysight (NYSE:KEYS) reported revenue ahead of Wall Streets expectations in Q3 CY2025, with sales up 10.3% year on year to $1.42 billion. On top of that, next quarter’s revenue guidance ($1.54 billion at the midpoint) was surprisingly good and 7.9% above what analysts were expecting. Its non-GAAP profit of $1.91 per share was 4.2% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after reports revealed the Trump administration considered extending the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies. These subsidies, which are government financial aids to help people pay for health insurance, are crucial for insurers as they maintain a stable customer base. An extension would ensure continued revenue for companies with significant exposure to the ACA marketplace. The news prompted a strong positive reaction from investors, with Centene (CNC) shares jumping as much as 8%, Molina Healthcare (MOH) rising over 3%, and Oscar Health (OSCR) soaring 18%. The potential for a two-year extension reduces regulatory uncertainty for the sector, which investors view as a significant positive for the industry's outlook.
