What the filing says
National Presto reported Q3 2026 net sales of $144.3M vs. $115.5M in Q3 2025 (+24.9%), with net earnings of $19.98M vs. $5.3M (+276%). Defense segment sales rose $29M (+31.3%) from backlog shipments; Defense operating earnings jumped $7.1M (+61.8%). Housewares/Small Appliances segment swung to $8.1M operating profit (prior year loss), largely from a tariff refund upheld by February Supreme Court decision. Nine-month 2026 results: sales $409.6M vs. $339.6M (+20.6%); net earnings $42.5M vs. $18.1M (+135%). EPS rose to $5.93 from $2.53; weighted shares ~7.17M both periods.
Why this rating
Q3 earnings nearly 3x prior year on 25% sales growth, with Defense momentum and tariff win driving margin expansion. At ~$504M market cap, ~$20M quarterly profit is ~16% annualized run-rate—material. However, tariff refund is non-recurring; core growth appears solid but requires monitoring.
