Snap-on Incorporated (SNA) Earnings: Q3 Fiscal 2026 Results

The quarter ended October 3, 2026 and Snap-on published the results on October 22, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 fiscal 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison.

• Revenue here is Snap-on's total revenues: net sales of $1,183.7 million plus financial services revenue of $98.6 million. Segment sales include intersegment sales, which are eliminated in the total.
• Q3 2025 operating earnings included a $22.0 million benefit from the settlement of a legal matter, worth $0.31 per diluted share after tax.
• Snap-on's fiscal 2025 had 53 weeks, with the extra week in the fourth quarter ended January 3, 2026.

How Snap-on splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 fiscal 2026 against Q3 fiscal 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Snap-on's Commercial & Industrial Group revenue was $404 million in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 10% from $368 million in Q3 fiscal 2025, 32% of total revenue.
• Snap-on's Snap-on Tools Group revenue was $472 million in Q3 fiscal 2026, down 7% from $506 million in Q3 fiscal 2025, 37% of total revenue.
• Snap-on's Repair Systems & Information Group revenue was $455 million in Q3 fiscal 2026, down 2% from $465 million in Q3 fiscal 2025, 35% of total revenue.
• Snap-on's Financial Services revenue revenue was $98.6 million in Q3 fiscal 2026, down 2% from $101 million in Q3 fiscal 2025, 8% 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.

From the earnings release

Snap-on does not give a revenue or EPS outlook. Its release outlook covers capital spending and the tax rate.

In its Q3 fiscal 2026 release, Snap-on said:

“project that capital expenditures in 2026 will approximate $100 million, of which $69.0 million was incurred in the first nine months of the year.”

“Snap-on currently anticipates that its full-year 2026 effective income tax rate will approximate 22%.”

We do not hold a confirmed date for Snap-on'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.

• Q3 fiscal 2026 (this page), reported Oct 22, 2026

Snap-on's total revenues of $1,282.3 million in Q3 2026 were net sales of $1,183.7 million plus $98.6 million of financial services revenue, mostly interest on the extended-term payment contracts Snap-on Credit writes for technicians and shop owners buying its products. Net sales fell $7.1 million, or 0.6%: a $33.1 million, or 2.8%, organic decline, partly offset by $25.6 million of acquisition-related sales. (Snap-on Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; Snap-on Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026)

The Snap-on Tools Group sells to vehicle service and repair technicians through the mobile van channel. Its sales fell to $471.5 million from $506.0 million, a 7.0% organic decline, which Snap-on tied to an accelerated rise in diesel prices that led franchisees to reduce inventories even though demand from their technician customers was very stable. (Snap-on Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; Snap-on Form 10-K, fiscal 2025, Feb 12, 2026)

The Commercial & Industrial Group, which serves critical industries such as aerospace, power generation and the military, grew sales to $404.3 million from $367.7 million, with a 7.4% organic gain and $10.0 million from acquisitions. The Repair Systems & Information Group, which sells to independent repair shops and OEM dealerships, fell to $454.7 million on a 5.5% organic decline from reduced activity with OEM dealerships, partly offset by $15.6 million of acquisition-related sales. (Snap-on Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; Snap-on Form 10-K, fiscal 2025, Feb 12, 2026)

The acquisition-related sales came from three 2026 deals: Diesel Laptops (diagnostics and repair information, bought June 8, 2026 for $99.7 million and placed in Repair Systems & Information), Hi-Force (hydraulic tools and torque equipment, bought April 30, 2026 for $57.2 million and placed in Commercial & Industrial) and the assets of Car-O-Liner Australia. (Snap-on Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026)

North America, which Snap-on defines as the United States, Canada and Mexico, accounted for $861.3 million of external net sales in the quarter, against $889.7 million a year earlier. Europe contributed $186.8 million and all other regions $135.6 million. (Snap-on Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026)

Snap-on reports one EPS figure, on a GAAP basis. Diluted EPS fell to $4.64 in Q3 2026 from $5.02, and the year-ago figure included a $16.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, after-tax benefit from a legal settlement booked in the Repair Systems & Information Group. (Snap-on Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

Gross margin held at 51.0%, up 10 basis points on Snap-on's Rapid Continuous Improvement initiatives, partly offset by higher material costs. Operating earnings before financial services fell to $248.1 million, or 21.0% of net sales, from $278.5 million, or 23.4%. Financial services operating earnings were $68.3 million, against $68.9 million. (Snap-on Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 2026; Snap-on Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

The effective tax rate was 22.3%, against 22.6%. Diluted shares fell to 52.4 million from 52.9 million, and in the first nine months of 2026 Snap-on repurchased 728,500 shares for $278.4 million, with $431.2 million of authorization remaining at October 3, 2026. (Snap-on Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; Snap-on Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 22, 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.

Snap-on does not give a revenue or EPS outlook in its release. For 2026 it projects capital expenditures of about $100 million, of which $69.0 million was spent in the first nine months, and a full-year effective tax rate of about 22%. (Snap-on Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Snap-on, 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 Snap-on's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 fiscal 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 SNA is on is SNA a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the SNA forecast, and what the company does is on the Snap-on Incorporated (SNA) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Snap-on 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.
