Clearfield Q3 Net Sales +13% to $43.9M; Cuts FY26 Outlook

AI Summary

Clearfield reported strong third-quarter fiscal 2026 results, with net sales up 13% to $43.9 million and diluted EPS from continuing operations increasing 38% to $0.22. The company also announced a significant $22 million order for a hyperscale data center project received after the quarter's close.
