Werner Enterprises said preliminary third-quarter 2026 revenue came in at about $946 million to $951 million, with diluted earnings per share expected at $0.10 to $0.11 and adjusted diluted EPS at $0.15 to $0.16.
The company said results were hit by about $0.18 per share of cumulative cost headwinds versus the second quarter, driven mainly by rapidly rising fuel prices, higher driver recruitment and retention spending, and a late-quarter insurance reserve adjustment tied to past claims.
Werner plans to report final third-quarter results on Oct. 27 after the market close. Following these announcements, the company's shares moved -1.74%, and are now trading at a price of $32.81. For the full picture, make sure to review WERNER ENTERPRISES INC's 8-K report.
