MAX Q3'26 Earnings: EPS estimate is 0.28 USD

What happened

MediaAlpha (MAX) will report Q3'26 results on October 28 after markets close, at 4:00 PM ET. Analysts estimate revenue of 347.93 million USD and earnings per share of 0.28 USD, according to FactSet reference data.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Earnings per share is profit divided by shares outstanding, a key measure of profit per sale for investors. A large jump in the revenue estimate versus the prior quarter suggests expectations for much stronger sales, so any shortfall could pressure the stock.

Analyst inference

Reported revenue beat estimates in three of the last four quarters, and reported earnings per share beat estimates in three of four. Those surprises suggest past guidance was conservative, but the sharp Q3'26 revenue estimate increase raises the bar for another beat.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether reported Q3'26 revenue matches the 347.93 million USD estimate and whether earnings per share match 0.28 USD when results arrive October 28. Confirmed
2. Compare reported profit per sale, meaning earnings per share, with the 0.28 USD estimate to judge whether cost control held as expected revenue rose sharply. Proposed
3. Track whether revenue beats or misses, since a miss against the much higher 347.93 million USD estimate could shift investor positioning and valuation for MediaAlpha shares. Analyst inference
