Cemtrex (CETX) Q3 2026 earnings summary

Executive summary

• Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, were $18.4M, up 9% year-over-year, driven by the addition of the Aerospace and Defense segment and growth in Industrial Services, offset by a decline in Security segment sales.

• Net loss attributable to stockholders was $4.48M for the quarter, compared to $4.63M in the prior year period, reflecting higher operating expenses and continued non-cash charges.
