Saputo Inc. ( (TSE:SAP) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Saputo reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues of $4.89 billion, down 2.1% year over year due to lower U.S. dairy commodity prices, but delivered an 18% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $492 million, lifting its margin to 10.1% from 8.4%. The performance was driven by higher sales volumes across all sectors, a more profitable product mix anchored in cheese and value-added categories, operational efficiencies from recent capital investments, and firm cost control, including SG&A optimization, which more than offset unfavourable commodity conditions and higher marketing spend. Net earnings swung to a profit of $220 million, largely reflecting the absence of last year’s UK goodwill impairment as well as stronger operating results, while robust cash generation and unchanged capital expenditures underscored the company’s improved resilience and strategic progress heading into the final quarter of the fiscal year.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:SAP) stock is a Buy with a C$44.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Saputo Inc. stock, see the TSE:SAP Stock Forecast page.
