Management attributed the robust performance to continued momentum in aerospace and defense, where record product sales and strong execution in directed energy and laser sensing programs were key.

The team also noted improved gross margins, benefiting from favorable product mix and manufacturing scale.

Sweetgreen’s third quarter results were met with a significant negative market reaction, as the company’s revenue and profit fell short of Wall Street expectations.

CEO Jonathan Neman noted, “Performance was impacted by softer sales trends in our Northeast and Los Angeles markets, which together represent about 60% of our comp base.” The leadership team acknowledged that operational execution and guest engagement remain areas needing improvement as the company navigates a challenging consumer environment.

CarGurus delivered results for Q3 that met Wall Street’s revenue and profit expectations, reflecting the company’s continued expansion of its marketplace platform and dealer network.

CEO Michael Nuzzo highlighted that Club Pilates’ recent cohorts have achieved higher first-year revenue ramps than prior vintages, underscoring the brand’s appeal and operational execution. Meanwhile, the company’s efforts to address member acquisition and retention challenges in brands like StretchLab also played a role in the quarter’s outcome.

News Corp’s third quarter results met Wall Street’s expectations for both revenue and profit, with modest year-over-year growth driven by strong performances in Dow Jones and Digital Real Estate Services. Management attributed these gains to increasing demand for digital subscriptions, data analytics, and the early stages of a U.S. real estate market recovery. CEO Robert Thomson noted that “Dow Jones and Digital Real Estate Services accounted for a record share of profits,” while also highlighting the impact of a $13 million write-off in Book Publishing related to a distributor closure.

Strategic Education’s third quarter results reflected stronger-than-expected revenue and non-GAAP earnings, driven by continued momentum in its Education Technology and Services segment, notably Sophia Learning and Workforce Edge. Management credited operating expense discipline and productivity initiatives for improved profitability, even as domestic student enrollment declined slightly. CEO Karl McDonnell highlighted that employer-affiliated enrollments and health care programs were key to offsetting softness in traditional student numbers, stating, “Employer-affiliated enrollment once again remained strong, increasing approximately 8% from the prior year.”

Cable One’s third quarter was marked by subscriber losses and operational challenges that contributed to a negative market reaction. Management attributed the downturn to a mix of higher customer churn, intensified competition, the winding down of promotional offers, and disruptions from a major billing system migration. CEO Julie Laulis described the quarter as “disappointing,” citing that the combination of macroeconomic factors and internal changes led to an unusual spike in customer attrition. Management highlighted that while connect trends showed some improvement, the overall impact from these pressures dominated the period.

eXp World’s third quarter was marked by positive market reaction, as the company’s revenue exceeded Wall Street expectations despite adjusted earnings per share coming in below consensus. Management credited this performance to higher agent productivity and successful recruitment of large teams, even as total agent count declined year-over-year. CEO Leo Pareja emphasized that sales transactions per agent were up 5% year-over-year, and noted, “We are creating a stronger, more productive agent base.” International operations also contributed meaningfully, with revenue surpassing last year’s total just nine months into 2025, reflecting momentum in new markets and improved agent retention.

GEO Group’s third quarter was marked by substantial revenue growth, but the market reacted negatively as margin pressures and near-term headwinds overshadowed the top-line beat. Management attributed the sales gains to new and expanded contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Marshals, which drove facility occupancy and transportation services. CEO George Zoley highlighted that "these facility activations have increased our total ICE capacity to over 26,000 beds, and our current census is over 22,000, the highest ICE population we've ever had." However, higher staffing costs and the expense of ramping up new contracts weighed on overall profitability.

Blink Charging’s third quarter was marked by a negative market reaction, as revenue fell short of Wall Street’s expectations despite year-over-year growth. Management attributed the results to a strategic shift in prioritizing higher-quality, margin-enhancing service revenue over pure top-line expansion. CEO Michael Battaglia described the quarter as a period of “profound transformation,” highlighting both the exit from in-house manufacturing and substantial operating cost reductions. Management also noted that some project delays in Europe contributed to the revenue miss this quarter.

DraftKings’ third-quarter performance was influenced by unusual swings in sports outcomes, which management described as having a pronounced impact on revenue. While underlying customer engagement and product usage remained healthy, CEO Jason Robins acknowledged that customer-friendly results in several NFL games reduced top-line growth. Robins stated, “In September and October, customer-friendly sport outcomes impacted our revenue by more than $300 million as just a handful of NFL games had a pronounced effect.” Despite these headwinds, management pointed to ongoing product enhancements and partnerships as supporting continued customer activity.

United Parks & Resorts faced a significant setback in Q3 as results came in well below Wall Street expectations, prompting a sharp market reaction. Management cited several factors behind the underperformance, including unfavorable calendar shifts, poor weather during key holidays, a pronounced drop in international visitation, and shortfalls in cost execution. CEO Marc Swanson was candid about the challenges, stating, "We're obviously not happy with the results we delivered in the quarter." He explained that, after adjusting for event timing and international declines, attendance would have been roughly flat, but the overall environment remained inconsistent, especially among U.S. consumers. Swanson also noted a rare reversal in international trends, attributing the decline to broader macroeconomic issues and travel-related headwinds.

Opendoor’s third-quarter results reflected a period of major transition, with management citing the legacy risk-averse strategy as a key driver of lower home acquisition volumes and strained margins. CEO Kasra Nejatian described a company that had “lost faith in the power of software” and relied heavily on consultants, leading to slow operational execution. The shift back to a product-driven approach was evident as the company increased its home acquisition pace and began clearing out older inventory, though this resulted in margin pressures as legacy homes were sold. Nejatian acknowledged, “When you stop buying homes, you don’t just lose volume, you lose the ability to manage your inventory mix.”

Clarus’ third quarter results drew a positive market response, as the company’s revenue growth exceeded Wall Street expectations while profitability metrics held steady. Management credited the performance to strong demand for outdoor products in North American wholesale, notable success with the revamped Black Diamond apparel line, and the onboarding of new adventure customers in Australia. Executive Chairman Warren Kanders highlighted that the company’s shift toward a more focused product mix, as well as reductions in discontinued merchandise and operational expenses, were central to the quarter’s incremental improvements.

Funko’s third quarter saw a positive market reaction despite revenue falling short of Wall Street expectations, as management’s cost control and product strategy drove adjusted profitability above consensus. CEO Josh Simon highlighted the impact of SKU rationalizations, a reduction in clearance sales, and ongoing price increases that offset tariff pressures. Management underscored the resilience of Funko’s diverse fan base and pointed to recent multiyear licensing renewals with major entertainment studios as instrumental in maintaining brand relevance. Simon noted, “Our gross margin trend has largely improved... we have a stronger retail footprint.”
