Nasdaq and major industrial firms prepare for Q3 2026 earnings reports

Several major companies are scheduled to release quarterly earnings reports for the third quarter of 2026. Nasdaq is expected to report on October 22, with analysts projecting earnings of $1.02 per share and revenue of $1.47 billion. Dover is also set to report on October 22, with projected earnings of $2.85 per share and revenue of $2.22 billion. Quest Diagnostics is projected to announce results on the same day, with expected earnings of $2.87 per share and revenue of $3.05 billion. Graco is scheduled to post its results after the market closes on October 21, with analysts anticipating earnings of $0.8260 per share and revenue of $588.35 million.

Separately, Nasdaq reported a network disruption on October 15, 2026, that impacted US equities market data feeds across its Nasdaq, Nasdaq Texas, and Nasdaq PSX exchanges. The outage, traced to a facility in Carteret, New Jersey, caused intermittent data gaps. Nasdaq directed market participants to use Chicago-based feeds as a backup during the incident.
