Perma-Pipe Q1 EPS Plunges 64% to $0.22, Missing Estimates
Summary
Perma-Pipe reported Q1 2026 diluted EPS of $0.22, a 63.9% year-over-year decline from $0.61, significantly missing analyst estimates of $0.48. Revenue increased 7.5% to $50.3 million. This follows the 8-K and 10-Q filings earlier today which indicated a sharp decline in earnings and a miss on analyst expectations. The substantial earnings miss and decline are attributed to start-up costs at the new Ohio plant, an unfavorable product mix, and seasonal impacts, which pressured gross profit despite higher sales volumes. This indicates significant operational headwinds impacting profitability.
