Astec Industries Q3 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
Astec Industries reported Q3 2026 net sales of $352.4 million, a slight increase year-over-year, but adjusted EBITDA fell short of expectations at $18.9 million due to slower asphalt plant orders and material cost inflation. Despite a downward revision of full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $140-$150 million, the company saw a significant recovery in orders, especially for Infrastructure Solutions, and expects improved performance in Q4 2026 and early 2027. Management highlighted strong backlog growth, robust parts and service sales, and strategic efforts to close the inflation-pricing gap, anticipating a return to parity by early 2027, driven by federal infrastructure funding and mega-projects like data center construction.
