BrightView’s third quarter results for 2025 fell short of Wall Street expectations, with revenue declining year over year and non-GAAP profit below consensus estimates. Management attributed these results to ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and delayed discretionary spending in its land maintenance business. CEO Dale Asplund cited improvements in employee retention and customer satisfaction, stating, “Our unwavering focus on delivering world-class service to our customers continues to yield meaningful momentum in customer retention.” The company also made significant investments in refreshing its fleet and expanding its sales force, which management believes will lay the groundwork for future growth despite near-term challenges.

Kulicke and Soffa’s third quarter was met with a strong positive response from the market, reflecting outperformance versus Wall Street’s expectations. Management pointed to improved order activity, particularly in general semiconductor and memory markets, as utilization rates surpassed 80%.

Additionally, management credited operational efficiency efforts and expanded customer engagement for supporting profitability during a period of industry recovery.

Universal Technical Institute delivered a positive third quarter, with results surpassing Wall Street’s expectations on both revenue and profit. The company credited ongoing strength in demand for skilled trades and healthcare careers, as well as the successful launch of new programs and operational efficiencies, as primary drivers. CEO Jerome Grant emphasized that the company’s diversified, multi-division model and targeted program launches contributed to the quarter’s solid execution, stating, “These results underscore both the resiliency of demand for skilled trades healthcare careers, and the effectiveness of our multidivisional model.”

Palo Alto Networks’ third quarter saw sales growth above Wall Street’s expectations, but the market responded negatively, reflecting investor caution on the path forward. Management attributed revenue growth to broad adoption of platform solutions, particularly in areas like SASE (secure access service edge), software firewalls, and expanding demand for AI-driven security tools. CEO Nikesh Arora emphasized that customers are consolidating security vendors, opting for the company’s integrated offerings to address an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape. Arora cited several large deals, including a significant U.S. federal contract, as evidence that platformization is gaining traction across industries.

Young adult apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE:ANF) reported Q3 CY2025 results topping the market’s revenue expectations, with sales up 6.8% year on year to $1.29 billion. The company expects next quarter’s revenue to be around $1.66 billion, close to analysts’ estimates. Its GAAP profit of $2.36 per share was 9.4% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

Dycom’s third quarter was marked by strong execution in core fiber-to-the-home programs and significant momentum in data center-related projects, leading to results above Wall Street’s expectations and a positive market reaction. Management pointed to robust activity from both traditional carriers and hyperscale technology providers, with CEO Dan Peyovich highlighting, “Our strong market position is validated by deepening engagement across our customer base.” Growth was also supported by recurring service and maintenance contracts, which have become a durable revenue stream.

Digital operations platform PagerDuty (NYSE:PD) met Wall Streets revenue expectations in Q3 CY2025, with sales up 4.7% year on year to $124.5 million. On the other hand, next quarter’s revenue guidance of $123 million was less impressive, coming in 3.4% below analysts’ estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.33 per share was 35% above analysts’ consensus estimates.

Jack in the Box’s third quarter was defined by significant operational adjustments as management responded to continued pressures on sales and profitability. Despite a year-on-year decline in revenue and margins, the market responded positively to the results, reflecting management’s swift actions to address underperforming value propositions and promotional strategies. CEO Lance Tucker described the quarter as “a story of two halves,” with early softness followed by improved transactions due to new value-focused offers and menu pricing changes. Management acknowledged ongoing competitive intensity and the need for better consistency in operations and guest experience.

Nvidia’s third quarter was characterized by strong demand for its AI hardware and software, resulting in better-than-expected financial results and a positive market reaction. Management credited the surge in data center revenue to the rapid adoption of new GPU architectures such as Blackwell and continued momentum across hyperscaler and enterprise clients. CFO Colette Kress emphasized that the company is “still in the early innings” of platform shifts toward accelerated computing and AI, adding that customer demand continues to outpace supply. CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the broadening impact of generative and agentic AI, noting, “We excel at every phase of AI, from pre-training and post-training to inference.”

Lowe’s delivered third-quarter results that met Wall Street’s revenue expectations and exceeded non-GAAP profit forecasts, prompting a positive market reaction. Management attributed the performance to operational discipline, growth in its professional (Pro) customer segment, and expanding digital sales. CEO Marvin Ellison highlighted, “continued operational discipline and strong execution across our perpetual productivity improvement initiatives.” The company also benefited from its Total Home strategy, which drove improvements in home services and store productivity, while recent acquisitions started to contribute to results.

Wix’s third quarter saw higher-than-expected costs alongside strong revenue growth. Management attributed the results to robust user adoption in both the core website business and the newly acquired Base 44 AI-powered app builder. CEO Avishai Abrahami highlighted that “Base 44 is quickly proving to be a leader and the best solution on the market today,” while acknowledging that initial costs from rapid growth and marketing outlays for Base 44 weighed on margins. Cost pressures were driven by increased AI compute expenses and the predominance of monthly, rather than annual, subscriptions in Base 44’s user base, leading to a short-term misalignment between costs and revenue.

Target’s third quarter results aligned with Wall Street’s revenue expectations, but the company continues to face subdued sales trends. Management attributed the ongoing softness primarily to cautious consumer spending and weakness in discretionary categories such as home and apparel. CEO Brian Cornell acknowledged, “Our business has not been performing up to its potential over the last few years,” highlighting Target’s focus on refining merchandising and elevating in-store and digital experiences. Leadership pointed to progress in food and beverage and digital fulfillment, but recognized that broader improvements are still necessary.

Pet-focused retailer Petco (NASDAQ:WOOF) met Wall Streets revenue expectations in Q3 CY2025, but sales fell by 3.1% year on year to $1.46 billion. Its GAAP profit of $0.03 per share was significantly above analysts’ consensus estimates.

Williams-Sonoma’s third quarter saw positive sales momentum and margin stability, yet the market reacted negatively following the company’s results. Management highlighted that growth was supported by strength in Furniture, back-to-school categories, and improved in-store experiences across all brands. CEO Laura Alber credited the success of new store remodels and enhanced customer service, saying the company “delivered strong results in 2025, with an accelerating positive top-line comp and continued outperformance in our profitability.” Management also pointed to effective tariff mitigation and supply chain efficiencies as key contributors to operating margin stability, despite ongoing macro headwinds.

TJX delivered a quarter that aligned with Wall Street’s main expectations, posting growth in comparable store sales and profitability across its core divisions. Management pointed to higher average basket sizes and increased customer transactions as key contributors, with both apparel and home categories showing notable momentum. CEO Ernie Herrman highlighted the company’s ability to attract value-conscious shoppers across various demographics, stating, “Our value proposition continued to resonate with consumers in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.” Lower freight costs and effective expense management also contributed to margin improvements, offsetting external cost pressures such as tariffs.

Sporting goods retailer Dick’s Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS) missed Wall Street’s revenue expectations in Q3 CY2025, but sales rose 36.3% year on year to $4.17 billion. The company’s full-year revenue guidance of $13.98 billion at the midpoint came in 21.9% below analysts’ estimates. Its GAAP profit of $0.86 per share was 66.8% below analysts’ consensus estimates.
