NewMarket Posts $124.1M Third-Quarter Net Income
NEU sits 51% above its 52-week low of $580.03.
Summary
NewMarket reported third-quarter net income of $124.1 million, or $13.50 a share, on sales of $716.5 million, with net income up 24% on lower tax rates and surcharges. Context: the company's last quarterly filing (Q2 2026, filed July 30) confirmed results already released by 8-K, and the August 13 8-K covered a routine $3.00 quarterly dividend, so this is the first hard earnings number since then. At a share price above $870, per-share earnings and the petroleum-additives margin will be the numbers that decide direction now that the full release is out.
At the time of this announcement, NEU was trading at $873.27 on NYSE in the Manufacturing sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $8B. The 52-week trading range was $580.03 to $981.66.
