Q Q3 2026 results
In one sentence
Qnity Electronics reported revenue of $1.6 billion for Q3 2026, up 22% from a year earlier (Qnity Electronics, Nov 4, 2026).
| Measure | Q3 2026 | Q3 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $1,556 million | $1,276 million | up 22% |
| Diluted EPS (GAAP) | $0.87 | $1.01 | down 14% |
| Diluted EPS (Adjusted EPS) | $1.46 | $0.94 | up 55% |
| Net income | $183 million | $211 million | down 13% |
The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Qnity Electronics published the results on November 4, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Qnity Electronics 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.
- Qnity was spun off from DuPont on November 1, 2025. Its Q3 2025 figures are carve-out results from before the spin-off, and the year-ago Adjusted EPS of $0.94 is Qnity's Adjusted Pro Forma EPS, which adds interest on its current debt and standalone costs as if the spin-off had happened on January 1, 2025.
- Net income shown is net income available for Qnity common stockholders, after $13 million attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Q revenue by segment
How Qnity Electronics 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.
| Net sales by segment | Q3 2026 | Q3 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semiconductor Technologies | $797 million | $693 million | up 15% |
| Interconnect Solutions | $759 million | $583 million | up 30% |
- Qnity Electronics's Semiconductor Technologies revenue was $797 million in Q3 2026, up 15% from $693 million in Q3 2025, 51% of total revenue.
- Qnity Electronics's Interconnect Solutions revenue was $759 million in Q3 2026, up 30% from $583 million in Q3 2025, 49% 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.

- Q3 2026 (this page), reported Nov 4, 2026
What Qnity Electronics's revenue is made of
Qnity Electronics sells materials used to make and package chips, through two segments. In Q3 2026 Semiconductor Technologies, which supplies materials used across multiple stages of semiconductor manufacturing, had net sales of $797 million. Interconnect Solutions, which supplies materials for printed circuit boards and advanced semiconductor packaging that address signal integrity and thermal and power management, had $759 million. Net sales were $1,556 million, up 22%. (Qnity Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Qnity Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)
Qnity's growth came from volume. For the company, local price and product mix and currency were both flat and volume added 22%. Semiconductor Technologies rose 15% on a 16% volume increase, partly offset by currency, which the 10-Q puts down to higher customer utilization rates and AI-driven demand in advanced nodes. Interconnect Solutions rose 30% on 29% volume growth from AI technology ramps and share gains in advanced packaging, AI PCBs and thermal management. (Qnity Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Qnity Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)
Most of Qnity's sales are in Asia. Asia Pacific accounted for $1,241 million of Q3 2026 net sales, including $539 million in China, $240 million in Taiwan and $213 million in South Korea. Sales in the United States were $189 million. (Qnity Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)
Two chipmakers are each about a tenth of Qnity's business. Samsung Electronics accounted for 10% of Q3 2026 net sales (11% a year earlier) and TSMC for 10% (8% a year earlier), and the 10-Q says most of the sales to both are in Semiconductor Technologies. (Qnity Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)
What Qnity Electronics's EPS includes
Qnity's GAAP diluted EPS fell to $0.87 from $1.01 while Adjusted EPS rose to $1.46. Adjusted EPS excludes transformation, integration and other charges ($53 million, of which about $35 million was for IT independence from DuPont), amortization of intangibles ($50 million) and $39 million of indirect legacy costs under cost-sharing arrangements with DuPont. The year-ago $0.94 is a pro forma figure that adds $50 million of after-tax interest on Qnity's current debt. (Qnity Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)
Qnity's GAAP results now carry the cost of the debt it took on at the spin-off. Interest expense was $64 million in Q3 2026, against $14 million a year earlier, and long-term debt was $3,996 million at September 30, 2026. The GAAP effective tax rate was 20.6% and the Base Tax Rate, which excludes the adjusted items, was 18.8%. (Qnity Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)
Diluted shares were 210.0 million in Q3 2026, against 209.4 million a year earlier. Qnity repurchased $75 million of common stock and paid $50 million of dividends in the first nine months of 2026, and has declared quarterly dividends of $0.08 per share. (Qnity Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Qnity Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 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.
Consensus and guidance at Qnity Electronics
Qnity gives full-year guidance in its release and raised it with Q3 2026. It now expects 2026 net sales of $5.77 billion to $5.83 billion, Adjusted Operating EBITDA of $1.785 billion to $1.805 billion, Adjusted EPS of $4.95 to $5.05 and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $800 million to $900 million. (Qnity Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)
Qnity does not reconcile those adjusted measures to GAAP, saying items such as significant items, indirect legacy costs, transformation charges and share-based compensation cannot be estimated without unreasonable effort. (Qnity Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)
A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Qnity Electronics, 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.

How to check Q's figures yourself
Every number on this page can be traced to a document Qnity Electronics 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.
