> Four companies missed earnings-per-share estimates. Freeport-McMoRan and Linde topped both measures, while Nucor and Sherwin-Williams beat revenue estimates but missed on earnings.

By Oct. 31, 12 of the S&P 500’s 24 materials companies had released third-quarter 2026 results. Six of those 12 missed revenue estimates, while four fell short of earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates.

Freeport-McMoRan and Linde exceeded estimates for both earnings and revenue. Nucor and Sherwin-Williams beat revenue estimates but missed expectations for earnings.

Eight more materials companies are scheduled to report next week: Albemarle, Mosaic, Air Products and Chemicals, CF Industries Holdings, International Flavors & Fragrances, Amcor, Ball Corp. and Martin Marietta Materials.
