Oil-Dri Corporation of America mines, processes, and transforms absorbent minerals into consumer products and business solutions. Demand sources include branded, private-label, and co-packaged cat litter, Amlan animal health products, and agriculture, fluid purification, oil, and fuel solutions; ownership of 11,700 acres of mineral reserves also gives the company vertical integration from mine to finished product. Management aims to maintain 40 years of reserves for each production line, while its total estimated reserves exceed 100 years.
In fiscal Q3 2026, revenue was $126.3 million, gross profit was $33.7 million, and net income was $14.5 million; equivalent to a gross margin of approximately 26.7% and a net income margin of approximately 11.5%. Quarterly sales increased 9% year over year, and operating income rose 23% as revenue grew and selling, general, and administrative expenses declined, while operating activities generated $25 million in net cash during the quarter.
The growth mix in fiscal Q3 2026 came from a 13% increase in cat litter sales within the Retail and Wholesale Products Group and strong demand-driven growth in agriculture and animal health within the Business-to-Business Products Group. On a trailing-twelve-month basis in fiscal 2026, the company recorded revenue of $489.8 million, gross profit of $136.4 million, and net income of $55.6 million, compared with $485.6 million, $143.1 million, and $54.0 million, respectively, in fiscal 2025; demonstrating revenue and net income growth alongside a decline in gross profit.
Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.
No price target or consensus buy, hold, or sell rating data are available, nor is a price-to-earnings ratio available to compare the price with earnings; therefore, a valuation judgment cannot be built from analyst consensus or an earnings multiple. The available market anchor remains the 52-week range of $45.61–$107, and its substantial breadth fundamentally coincides with trailing-twelve-month fiscal 2026 net income growth to $55.6 million, against gross margin pressure and higher expected depreciation.

Oil-Dri's revenue was approximately $126.3 million in fiscal Q3 2026, up 9% year over year. Cat litter sales rose 13%, while the agriculture and animal health businesses achieved strong demand-driven growth. Lower selling, general, and administrative expenses alongside revenue growth helped lift operating income by 23%, and net income reached $14.5 million.
Gross margin declined by 190 basis points year over year in fiscal Q3 2026. Domestic cost per ton rose 6% due to higher purchased materials, labor, packaging, and freight costs. The depreciation run rate also increased from approximately $13 million historically to nearly $22 million as it caught up with capital expenditures exceeding $30 million annually, so management expected continued accounting pressure on margins.
Crystal cat litter sales reached a quarterly record in fiscal Q3 2026, supported by private-label and branded products. The company launched Crystal cat health monitoring products under Cat's Pride Ultra and private labels while expanding distribution across stores and e-commerce. Fiscal 2026 also saw the launch of two new Cat's Pride products in pail packaging and the e-commerce-focused Cat's Pride Max Power Pro product, alongside multiple private-label clay products.
Amlan showed improvement in fiscal Q3 2026 after losing a major account in one region during the first half. As of June 9, 2026, the company had regained a foothold with that account and begun growing sales with it, but had not fully regained it. Meanwhile, the team added new customers and expanded sales to existing accounts across all regions it serves, contributing to strong growth in the animal health business.
Capital expenditures averaged approximately $32 million annually over the five years ended in fiscal 2026, more than double the average of roughly $15 million between fiscal 2017 and 2021. Facility modernization contributed to a 99.9% order fulfillment rate in fiscal Q3 2026, equivalent to shipping 999 of every 1,000 requested pallets. The company also generated $25 million in net operating cash during the quarter, supporting the funding of these investments.
No price target or analyst consensus rating is available, and no price-to-earnings ratio is included in the data, so there is no direct traditional valuation anchor. The 52-week range is between $45.61 and $107, reflecting wide variation in the stock's pricing during the period. Operationally, trailing-twelve-month fiscal 2026 net income of $55.6 million should be weighed against the decline in gross profit to $136.4 million and the pressure of depreciation and costs on margins.
