Group 1 Automotive (GPI) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Group 1 Automotive published the results on October 28, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Group 1 Automotive reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations (non-GAAP), which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Diluted EPS on this page is from continuing operations, the figure Group 1 Automotive leads its release with. Including discontinued operations, year-ago diluted EPS was $1.00; in Q3 2026 the two figures are the same, $8.59.
• Year-ago GAAP results included $123.9 million of goodwill, franchise rights and fixed asset impairment charges for the U.K. reporting unit, which is why GAAP EPS rose while adjusted EPS fell.

How Group 1 Automotive splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Group 1 Automotive's U.S. revenue was $4.0 billion in Q3 2026, down 7% from $4.3 billion in Q3 2025, 74% of total revenue.
• Group 1 Automotive's U.K. revenue was $1.4 billion in Q3 2026, down 7% from $1.5 billion in Q3 2025, 26% of total revenue.

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.

Revenue and diluted EPS for the last 5 quarters. Each date links to that quarter's release.

Total revenues and GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations, each as first reported in that quarter's release. Q3 2025 included $123.9 million of U.K. impairment charges and Q4 2025 included $68.2 million of non-cash asset impairment charges, primarily for the U.S. reporting unit.

Group 1 Automotive's next report is expected around January 28, 2027, a date estimated from its reporting history that the company has not yet confirmed. This page will show Q3 2026 until those results are out and have been checked against the release.

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.

On October 19, 2026, after the quarter ended, Group 1 Automotive completed the Hennessy Acquisition in Atlanta, with expected annual revenues of approximately $1.7 billion, funded with senior notes. Year to date it has acquired 14 U.S. dealership operations with expected annual revenues of approximately $2 billion. (Group 1 Automotive Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 2026)

Group 1 Automotive's GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was $8.59 in Q3 2026 and adjusted diluted EPS $9.36. The adjustments add back acquisition costs ($0.45 a share), asset impairments ($0.43), legal items and other professional fees ($0.07) and catastrophic events ($0.03), and take out a $0.22 gain on dealership and real estate transactions. (Group 1 Automotive Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 2026)

The year-ago GAAP figure of $1.02 included $123.9 million of goodwill, franchise rights and fixed asset impairment charges for the U.K. reporting unit, so GAAP EPS rose sharply while adjusted EPS fell from $10.45. The effective tax rate on continuing operations was 21.8%, against 63.7% a year earlier. (Group 1 Automotive Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 2026)

Group 1 Automotive's weighted average dilutive common shares were 11.9 million, against 12.8 million a year earlier. It bought back no shares in the quarter, has repurchased 205,190 shares this year, and had $306.3 million left under its authorization at September 30, 2026. (Group 1 Automotive Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 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.

Group 1 Automotive does not publish a revenue or earnings outlook in its earnings release. The Q3 2026 release gives targets for its disposition plan instead: about $235 million of proceeds from U.S. dispositions completed since quarter end and an expected $125 million more from dispositions under definitive agreement, totaling approximately $360 million, which it says supports its strategy to reduce leverage.

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Group 1 Automotive, 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 Group 1 Automotive'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 GPI is on is GPI a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the GPI forecast, and what the company does is on the Group 1 Automotive (GPI) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Group 1 Automotive 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.
