What Happened?
Shares of telecom software provider Amdocs (NASDAQ: DOX) fell 6.2% in the morning session after the company's third-quarter earnings report pointed to a weaker profit outlook. The company's revenue for the third quarter of 2025 came in at $1.15 billion, a 9% decline year-over-year, though it slightly beat Wall Street's expectations. Adjusted earnings per share of $1.83 were in line with analyst consensus. However, investors were more concerned with the company's forecast. While Amdocs guided for fourth-quarter revenue that was slightly ahead of estimates, its adjusted earnings per share guidance of $1.76 at the midpoint fell short of the $1.87 analysts were expecting. This weaker profit forecast signaled potential pressure on profitability, overshadowing the modest revenue beat and prompting a negative reaction from the market.
