Lamb Weston Delivers Q3 Revenue Beat, Lifts Full-Year Sales Guidance
LW is trading near its 52-week low of $39.6 (9.0% above the low).
Summary
Lamb Weston reported strong fiscal Q3 results, beating analyst estimates across key metrics including revenue, adjusted EPS, and adjusted EBITDA. The company's revenue rose 3% to $1.56 billion, surpassing the $1.49 billion consensus, driven by significant volume growth in North America due to customer wins and market share gains. Following this robust performance, Lamb Weston raised the midpoint of its fiscal 2026 net sales outlook to $6.45 billion-$6.55 billion and adjusted EBITDA outlook to $1.08 billion-$1.14 billion, while also cutting capital expenditure forecasts. This positive guidance signals management's confidence in continued operational strength, despite some international demand softness and price/mix declines. Traders will be watching for sustained North American volume momentum and how the company navigates competitive pressures in international markets.
