Cricut, Inc. (CRCT) Q3 Revenue Rises 11% to $188.6M

What happened

Cricut reported Q3 2026 revenue of $188.6M, up 11% year over year, and net income of $27.8M, up 36%. Its board approved a recurring $0.10-per-share semi-annual dividend, a $0.70-per-share special dividend planned for January 2027, and replenished its repurchase program with authorization of up to $50M.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Revenue and earnings rose, while the board also authorized cash returns to shareholders. Dividends distribute cash directly, and repurchases use company funds to buy shares. These actions can reduce cash available for business needs, while stronger earnings may support continued investment and shareholder payments.

Analyst inference

Growth differed across Cricut’s businesses: product revenue rose approximately 17% to $102.7M, while platform revenue rose to $85.9M. Faster product growth contributed more to quarterly revenue expansion, while slower platform growth may constrain the platform’s contribution to recurring revenue.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Check whether the planned January 2027 special dividend is paid as described; that payment would send $0.70 per share to shareholders. Confirmed
2. Track future product and platform revenue disclosures to see whether platform growth strengthens or product sales remain the main source of expansion. Analyst inference
3. Watch whether Cricut actually buys shares under the replenished authorization, since approval of up to $50M does not establish purchase timing or amount. Confirmed
