Valmont(VMI)Q3调整后EPS $6.24超预期9.5%并上调全年EPS指引，盘前小涨
真实EPS大幅超预期+连续第三次上调指引+积压订单+21%构成正edge，盘前尚无实质价格发现；但营收miss、成本压利润率且最近同主体同机制先例一涨一跌，故只小仓试多并以限价防高开。

结论摘要
VMI Q3调整后EPS $6.24较一致预期高约9.5%，全年EPS指引上调、积压订单较年初+21%，北美电网(Utility +23%)景气强；但营收小幅miss、钢锌成本侵蚀利润率，且Q2同类型财报曾见光死，方向胜率仅50%，小仓、限价、紧止损参与。
🔎 新鲜度:最早出现 2026-10-20 · 扩散 low · price-in 风险 low ↗
消息传播链
- 公司盘前法定披露Q3业绩并上调全年调整后EPS指引；电话会安排在9:00 ET市场反应:盘前07:00报价464.54(+2.7%)但仅46股成交，无实质价格发现
关键理由
- Q3调整后EPS $6.24 vs IBES $5.70超预期约9.5%，经营利润率13.5%→15.7%，且全年EPS指引中点上调$0.25，积压订单20.08亿(较年初+21%)支撑后续兑现
- 股价近13周下行(指数化轨迹100→93)、距52周高点-22.6%，本次催化此前未抢跑，盘前仅约+2.7%且仅46股成交、未充分定价
主要风险
- 营收11.04亿低于一致预期11.17亿，钢/锌成本与Utility新产能爬坡使基建分部营业利润率17.8%→17.6%，电话会若指引成本传导偏慢会压制估值
- 最近同主体同机制先例分裂：2026Q1财报日+11.9%但Q2 beat+上调指引却当日-3.9%、5日-5.9%(sell-the-news)，本次营收miss与Q2情形相似
反向证据

营收低于IBES预期；公司明示钢锌成本上行、Utility产能爬坡费用压低基建分部利润率(17.8%→17.6%)，指引上调幅度仅$0.25且依赖成本企稳

先例如何影响了这次决策
对本次决策的影响:将本腿降为small仓位、BUY_AT_OPEN限高开≤3%、tp下调至[5,10]、sl收紧至-5%，并将电话会成本传导口径列为基本面证伪条件
方向:同主体同机制两条对齐先例一涨一跌，1日/5日胜率均50%，方向偏正但不确定；干净beat(Q1)大涨、有质量瑕疵(Q2)见光死
涨幅量级:样本仅2条且very_thin，1日中位+4.0%、5日中位+7.8%仅供参考；当前有营收miss更接近Q2情形，因此止盈取保守区间[5%,10%]而非Q1的+12%量级
形态:Q2出现明确高开低走/见光死(开盘544→收504.5，次日继续跌)，要求限价开盘、不追高开并收紧止损

Valmont Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results and Raises Full-Year 2026
Adjusted EPS Guidance
OMAHA, Neb.--
Valmont
®
Industries, Inc. (NYSE: VMI), a global leader that provides products and solutions to support vital infrastructure and advance agricultural productivity, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2026.
President and Chief Executive Officer Avner M. Applbaum commented, “We delivered another quarter of sales and earnings growth. Higher sales in North America Utility and Coatings reinforce our confidence in the strength and durability of the infrastructure market. To support continued infrastructure demand, we are focused on increasing capacity and improving throughput, with a continued focus on reliable delivery and disciplined execution. In Agriculture, we delivered sales growth in North America despite broader market softness. Our focus remains on deepening strategic customer relationships and expanding our higher-value aftermarket and technology solutions, positioning the business for stronger growth as market conditions improve.
“
Given our results, we are raising our adjusted earnings per share guidance range. As we finish 2026 and prepare for 2027, we are focused on turning our capacity investments into higher throughput and improved productivity across the Infrastructure segment. At the same time, we are taking pricing actions and applying contractual pass-throughs to recover higher steel and zinc costs. The pace of margin expansion depends in part on how quickly input costs stabilize. Strong customer demand in Utility and Coatings, together with our investments and operating improvements across Infrastructure and Agriculture support our confidence in the objectives presented at our 2026 Investor Day.”

Third Quarter 2026 Segment Review
(all metrics compared to Third Quarter 2025 unless otherwise noted)
Infrastructure
(79.7% of Net Sales)
Products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of utility, lighting, transportation, and telecommunications, along with coatings services to protect metal products
Sales increased 9.1% to $882.1 million, compared to $808.3 million.
North America Utility sales increased 23.0%, driven by higher pricing and volumes, supported by strong market demand. North America Coatings sales grew 13.8%, supported by broader infrastructure demand. International sales increased primarily due to pricing actions and favorable foreign currency impacts. These increases were partially offset by significantly lower volumes in North America Telecommunications, reflecting lower carrier spend as customers shifted capital allocation priorities.
Operating income increased to $154.8
million or 17.6% of net sales, compared to $143.4 million or 17.8% of net sales. Higher pricing and volumes in North America Utility and Coatings were partially offset by higher material costs, primarily steel and zinc, costs associated with ramping Utility capacity, and lower North America Telecom volumes.
Agriculture
(20.3% of Net Sales)
Center pivot and linear irrigation equipment components for agricultural markets, including aftermarket parts and tubular products, and advanced technology solutions for precision agriculture
Sales decreased 6.4% to $226.0 million, compared to $241.3 million.
North America sales increased 15.8%, driven by higher volumes, including storm replacement activity and favorable pricing. International sales decreased 25.3%, primarily due to lower volumes in the Middle East and Brazil.
Operating income increased to $40.1 million or 17.9% of net sales, compared to $23.2 million or 9.7% of net sales. Lower credit losses in Brazil and higher North America volumes contributed to the year-over-year increase, partially offset by lower international volumes.

Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on assumptions made by management, considering its experience in the industries where Valmont operates, perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors. It is important to note that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Valmont’s control), and assumptions. Forward-looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “opportunities,” “estimate,” “outlook,” “clear path,” “target,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions. While management believes these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions as of the date made, numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These factors include, among other things, risks described in Valmont’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company’s actual cash flows and net income, future economic and market circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results, operational efficiencies, availability and price of raw materials, availability and market acceptance of new products, product pricing, domestic and international competitive environments, geopolitical risks, and actions and policy changes by domestic and foreign governments, including tariffs. The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements in this release are made as of its publication date and does not undertake to update these statements, except as required by law.
The Company may provide certain non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate) on a forward-looking basis from time to time. These measures are typically calculated by excluding the impact of items such as foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, realignment or
1
Please see Reg G reconciliation to GAAP measures at end of document
restructuring expenses, goodwill or intangible asset impairment, changes in tax laws or rates, change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests, and other non-recurring items. To the extent the Company provides forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided, as the Company cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to the inherent uncertainty and difficulty in predicting the timing and financial impact of such items. For the same reasons, the Company cannot assess the likely significance of unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Website and Social Media Disclosure
The Company uses its website and social media channels, as identified on its website, to distribute company information. Posts on these channels may contain material information. Therefore, investors should monitor these channels alongside the Company’s press releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts. The contents of the Company’s website and social media channels are not considered part of this press release.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to assess the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, evaluate operational profitability on a consistent basis, factor into executive compensation decisions, and enhance transparency for the investment community. These non-GAAP measures are intended to supplement, not replace, the Company’s reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is important to note that other companies may calculate these measures differently, which can limit their usefulness for comparison across organizations.
The following non-GAAP measures may be included in financial releases and other financial communications:
●
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate:
These metrics provide meaningful supplemental insights into the Company’s operating performance by excluding items that are not considered part of core operating results. This approach enhances comparability across reporting periods. Adjustments may include costs or benefits associated with acquisitions, divestitures, expenses related to realignment or restructuring programs, goodwill or intangible asset impairment, significant expenses or benefits from changes in tax laws or rates, cumulative effects of changes in accounting standards, refinancing-related expenses, a loss or a gain from a partial or full settlement of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan obligation, losses from natural disasters,
change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests,
and other non-recurring items.
●
Adjusted EBITDA:
This metric is a key component of a financial ratio included in the covenants of our major debt agreements. It is calculated as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other adjustments as outlined in the applicable debt agreements. This metric offers investors and analysts valuable insights into the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is also used to evaluate profitability.
●
Leverage Ratio:
This ratio is calculated by taking the sum of interest-bearing debt, minus unrestricted cash in excess of $50.0 million (but not exceeding $500.0 million), and dividing it by Adjusted EBITDA. This is a key financial ratio included in the covenants of our major debt agreements and is calculated on a rolling four-fiscal-quarter basis. The revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a financial leverage ratio of 3.50 or lower, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
●
Free Cash Flow:
Calculated as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures, free cash flow serves as an indicator of the Company’s financial strength. However, this measure does not fully reflect the Company’s ability to deploy cash freely, as it has obligations such as debt repayments and other fixed commitments.
●
Backlog:
This operating measure is used to evaluate future potential sales revenue. An order is included in the backlog upon receipt of a customer purchase order or the execution of a sales order contract. Backlog is particularly relevant to the Infrastructure segment due to the longer-term nature of its projects. However, backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and does not measure contract profitability. It should not be viewed as the sole indicator of future revenue, as many projects with short lead times book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in the backlog.
●
ROIC:
Return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and adjusted ROIC are key operating ratios that enable investors to assess our operating performance relative to the investment needed to generate operating profit. ROIC is calculated as after-tax operating income divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as after-tax adjusted operating income divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Invested capital represents total assets minus total liabilities (excluding interest-bearing debt and redeemable noncontrolling interests).

Valmont Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results and Raises Full-Year 2026
Adjusted EPS Guidance
OMAHA, Neb.--
Valmont
®
Industries, Inc. (NYSE: VMI), a global leader that provides products and solutions to support vital infrastructure and advance agricultural productivity, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2026.
President and Chief Executive Officer Avner M. Applbaum commented, “We delivered another quarter of sales and earnings growth. Higher sales in North America Utility and Coatings reinforce our confidence in the strength and durability of the infrastructure market. To support continued infrastructure demand, we are focused on increasing capacity and improving throughput, with a continued focus on reliable delivery and disciplined execution. In Agriculture, we delivered sales growth in North America despite broader market softness. Our focus remains on deepening strategic customer relationships and expanding our higher-value aftermarket and technology solutions, positioning the business for stronger growth as market conditions improve.
“
Given our results, we are raising our adjusted earnings per share guidance range. As we finish 2026 and prepare for 2027, we are focused on turning our capacity investments into higher throughput and improved productivity across the Infrastructure segment. At the same time, we are taking pricing actions and applying contractual pass-throughs to recover higher steel and zinc costs. The pace of margin expansion depends in part on how quickly input costs stabilize. Strong customer demand in Utility and Coatings, together with our investments and operating improvements across Infrastructure and Agriculture support our confidence in the objectives presented at our 2026 Investor Day.”

Third Quarter 2026 Segment Review
(all metrics compared to Third Quarter 2025 unless otherwise noted)
Infrastructure
(79.7% of Net Sales)
Products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of utility, lighting, transportation, and telecommunications, along with coatings services to protect metal products
Sales increased 9.1% to $882.1 million, compared to $808.3 million.
North America Utility sales increased 23.0%, driven by higher pricing and volumes, supported by strong market demand. North America Coatings sales grew 13.8%, supported by broader infrastructure demand. International sales increased primarily due to pricing actions and favorable foreign currency impacts. These increases were partially offset by significantly lower volumes in North America Telecommunications, reflecting lower carrier spend as customers shifted capital allocation priorities.
Operating income increased to $154.8
million or 17.6% of net sales, compared to $143.4 million or 17.8% of net sales. Higher pricing and volumes in North America Utility and Coatings were partially offset by higher material costs, primarily steel and zinc, costs associated with ramping Utility capacity, and lower North America Telecom volumes.
Agriculture
(20.3% of Net Sales)
Center pivot and linear irrigation equipment components for agricultural markets, including aftermarket parts and tubular products, and advanced technology solutions for precision agriculture
Sales decreased 6.4% to $226.0 million, compared to $241.3 million.
North America sales increased 15.8%, driven by higher volumes, including storm replacement activity and favorable pricing. International sales decreased 25.3%, primarily due to lower volumes in the Middle East and Brazil.
Operating income increased to $40.1 million or 17.9% of net sales, compared to $23.2 million or 9.7% of net sales. Lower credit losses in Brazil and higher North America volumes contributed to the year-over-year increase, partially offset by lower international volumes.

Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on assumptions made by management, considering its experience in the industries where Valmont operates, perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors. It is important to note that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Valmont’s control), and assumptions. Forward-looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “opportunities,” “estimate,” “outlook,” “clear path,” “target,” “expect,” “plan” and similar expressions. While management believes these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions as of the date made, numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These factors include, among other things, risks described in Valmont’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company’s actual cash flows and net income, future economic and market circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results, operational efficiencies, availability and price of raw materials, availability and market acceptance of new products, product pricing, domestic and international competitive environments, geopolitical risks, and actions and policy changes by domestic and foreign governments, including tariffs. The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements in this release are made as of its publication date and does not undertake to update these statements, except as required by law.
The Company may provide certain non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate) on a forward-looking basis from time to time. These measures are typically calculated by excluding the impact of items such as foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, realignment or
1
Please see Reg G reconciliation to GAAP measures at end of document
restructuring expenses, goodwill or intangible asset impairment, changes in tax laws or rates, change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests, and other non-recurring items. To the extent the Company provides forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided, as the Company cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to the inherent uncertainty and difficulty in predicting the timing and financial impact of such items. For the same reasons, the Company cannot assess the likely significance of unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Website and Social Media Disclosure
The Company uses its website and social media channels, as identified on its website, to distribute company information. Posts on these channels may contain material information. Therefore, investors should monitor these channels alongside the Company’s press releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts. The contents of the Company’s website and social media channels are not considered part of this press release.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to assess the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, evaluate operational profitability on a consistent basis, factor into executive compensation decisions, and enhance transparency for the investment community. These non-GAAP measures are intended to supplement, not replace, the Company’s reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. It is important to note that other companies may calculate these measures differently, which can limit their usefulness for comparison across organizations.
The following non-GAAP measures may be included in financial releases and other financial communications:
●
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate:
These metrics provide meaningful supplemental insights into the Company’s operating performance by excluding items that are not considered part of core operating results. This approach enhances comparability across reporting periods. Adjustments may include costs or benefits associated with acquisitions, divestitures, expenses related to realignment or restructuring programs, goodwill or intangible asset impairment, significant expenses or benefits from changes in tax laws or rates, cumulative effects of changes in accounting standards, refinancing-related expenses, a loss or a gain from a partial or full settlement of the U.K. defined benefit pension plan obligation, losses from natural disasters,
change in redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests,
and other non-recurring items.
●
Adjusted EBITDA:
This metric is a key component of a financial ratio included in the covenants of our major debt agreements. It is calculated as net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other adjustments as outlined in the applicable debt agreements. This metric offers investors and analysts valuable insights into the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is also used to evaluate profitability.
●
Leverage Ratio:
This ratio is calculated by taking the sum of interest-bearing debt, minus unrestricted cash in excess of $50.0 million (but not exceeding $500.0 million), and dividing it by Adjusted EBITDA. This is a key financial ratio included in the covenants of our major debt agreements and is calculated on a rolling four-fiscal-quarter basis. The revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a financial leverage ratio of 3.50 or lower, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
●
Free Cash Flow:
Calculated as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures, free cash flow serves as an indicator of the Company’s financial strength. However, this measure does not fully reflect the Company’s ability to deploy cash freely, as it has obligations such as debt repayments and other fixed commitments.
●
Backlog:
This operating measure is used to evaluate future potential sales revenue. An order is included in the backlog upon receipt of a customer purchase order or the execution of a sales order contract. Backlog is particularly relevant to the Infrastructure segment due to the longer-term nature of its projects. However, backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and does not measure contract profitability. It should not be viewed as the sole indicator of future revenue, as many projects with short lead times book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in the backlog.
●
ROIC:
Return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and adjusted ROIC are key operating ratios that enable investors to assess our operating performance relative to the investment needed to generate operating profit. ROIC is calculated as after-tax operating income divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as after-tax adjusted operating income divided by the average of beginning and ending invested capital. Invested capital represents total assets minus total liabilities (excluding interest-bearing debt and redeemable noncontrolling interests).
