World Kinect Corporation Raises 2026 Adjusted EPS Outlook to $3.52-$3.62

World Kinect Corporation raised its 2026 adjusted earnings outlook after third-quarter outperformance, lifting the projected per-share range to $3.52-$3.62 and signaling a mixed fourth-quarter picture across its segments.

The previous adjusted earnings-per-share range was $3.20-$3.40. Management described its view of the remaining market environment as measured.

For the fourth quarter, Aviation gross profit is expected to exceed the year-earlier level and stay close to its third-quarter result. Marine gross profit is also projected to be higher than a year earlier, but lower than in the third quarter.

Land operating income is forecast to remain above its year-ago level and fall from Q3. Management cited seasonality as the main reason for that sequential decline.

The company’s stated growth priorities include expanding Aviation services and advancing retail and cardlock operations in Land. Management also emphasized credit discipline, risk controls and cash conversion. It said it does not plan to depend on market volatility to drive growth.
