Asbury Automotive Group (ABG) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Asbury Automotive Group published the results on October 27, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Asbury Automotive Group reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted EPS, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Asbury has been selling dealerships: in Q3 2026 it sold five franchises (two dealership locations), and in Q3 2025 eight franchises (four locations). Same-store figures exclude divested dealerships from both periods.
• Asbury completed the acquisition of The Herb Chambers Companies on July 21, 2025, so the year-ago quarter includes those stores only from that date.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

We do not hold a confirmed date for Asbury Automotive Group's next report. Companies post the date on their investor relations site a few weeks ahead, usually with the time of the conference call.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

Asbury earned $5.84 per diluted share on a GAAP basis in Q3 2026 and $6.16 adjusted. The adjustments, net of tax, were $6 million ($0.32 per share) of Tekion implementation expenses and $1 million ($0.03 per share) of duplicative DMS-related expenses, less $1 million ($0.03 per share) of net gain on divestitures. (Asbury Automotive Group Q3 2026 earnings release, Oct 27, 2026)

The year-ago GAAP EPS of $7.52 was above the adjusted $7.17 because it included a $27 million ($1.37 per share) net gain on divestitures, partly offset by a $9 million non-cash impairment, $7 million of professional fees for the Herb Chambers acquisition and other items. (Asbury Automotive Group Q3 2026 earnings release, Oct 27, 2026)

Diluted weighted average shares were 18.0 million against 19.6 million, and Asbury repurchased about 1.35 million shares for $278 million through September 30, 2026, with about $322 million of authorization left. The effective tax rate was 24.4% against 26.5%. (Asbury Automotive Group Q3 2026 earnings release, Oct 27, 2026; Asbury Automotive Group Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 30, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Asbury Automotive Group's Q3 2026 release gives no revenue or earnings outlook. The one forward figure in its 10-Q is an estimated effective tax rate of about 24.8% for 2026. (Asbury Automotive Group Q3 2026 earnings release, Oct 27, 2026; Asbury Automotive Group Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 30, 2026)

The release says Asbury completed its company-wide Tekion conversion in mid-October, converting 47 stores in the third quarter, and finished rolling out Total Care Auto across all Asbury stores in October. In its longest-tenured Tekion markets, customer pay gross profit was up 7% and total parts and service gross profit up 5%. (Asbury Automotive Group Q3 2026 earnings release, Oct 27, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Asbury Automotive Group, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Asbury Automotive Group's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning ABG is on is ABG a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the ABG forecast, and what the company does is on the Asbury Automotive Group (ABG) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Asbury Automotive Group published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
