Sign InIn a move reflecting operational resilience despite significant non-recurring charges, Air Products & Chemicals announced its fiscal third-quarter 2026 results. The company reported a GAAP loss per share of $6.47, primarily driven by $2.9 billion in pre-tax charges related to strategic project exits. However, the underlying business remained robust, with adjusted earnings per share reaching $3.47 on total sales of $3.161 billion for the quarter.
Despite the substantial accounting loss, management raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $13.39 to $13.49, signaling confidence in the growth of its core industrial gas business. Per market data, the company now anticipates fiscal 2026 capital expenditures of approximately $3.5 billion, while adjusted operating income stood at $292.85 million for the period.
Shares of APD closed at $292.85 (as of July 28, 2026), having reached a day high of $298.1. Investors are monitoring how these project exit charges will impact long-term capital allocation, especially as the company navigates a global economic environment that recently saw the European Central Bank hold interest rates at 2.4% in late July.
