Profit and Margin Trends
GAAP earnings for the quarter rose to $88.11 million, or $1.34 per share, from $16.63 million, or $0.25 per share, last year. Adjusted net income reached $183.23 million. Operating margin stood at 5.9%, unchanged from the prior year. Free cash flow margin improved to 6.4% from 5.4%, reflecting stronger cash generation.
While the company's revenue continues to grow, profitability has been pressured. Over the last five years, Concentrix’s operating margin has trended lower, averaging 8.2%. Rising costs have weighed on leverage, limiting earnings expansion despite healthy top-line growth.
Guidance and Outlook
Management issued Q4 2025 guidance for revenue between $2.525 billion and $2.550 billion, with EPS expected in the range of $2.85 to $2.96. For the full fiscal year, adjusted EPS was revised downward to $11.11-$11.23, below Wall Street’s $11.66 forecast. Revenue guidance for the year was set at $9.798 billion to $9.823 billion.
The outlook signals slower growth ahead. Analysts now project Concentrix’s revenue to rise 2.8% over the next 12 months, a deceleration from its 22.1% annualized growth over the last two years.
Stock Performance and Industry Context
Despite the weak quarterly results, Concentrix shares have remained up 12.18% year-to-date, compared with the S&P 500’s 12.96% gain. However, over the past year, the stock has dropped 5.13% against the benchmark’s 15.64% increase. Longer-term returns have been more concerning, with a three-year decline of 55.75% versus a gain of 81.77% for the S&P 500.
Concentrix operates in the Business Services sector, which currently ranks in the top 28% of Zacks industries. Historically, companies in the top half of industries have outperformed those in the bottom half. Despite this favorable sector position, the company faces near-term earnings pressure.
Key Takeaway
Concentrix delivered revenue growth in Q3 2025, but the company missed earnings expectations and lowered guidance. While long-term fundamentals remain supported by its scale and global customer experience solutions, slowing growth and margin pressure remain challenges. The stock’s near-term performance will depend on how effectively management executes cost discipline and sustains demand momentum.
