Revenue for the period nearly doubles from a year earlier and exceeds $2 billion for the first time, while U.S. commercial revenue rises 148% to $984 million, above U.S. government revenue of $953 million. The company also projects about $2.65 billion in fourth-quarter revenue and $8.53 billion for full-year 2026.
Lattice Semiconductor jumps more than 7% after beating third-quarter revenue expectations and raising its full-year forecast.

The Clorox Company adds 2% after fiscal first-quarter results come in above estimates. The company posts adjusted earnings of $1.55 per share on revenue of $1.91 billion, compared with analyst expectations of $1.07 per share and $1.88 billion, while organic sales growth also exceeds forecasts.

Our earlier coverage on the S&P 500’s push toward 8,000 examined how the market’s next move hinges on whether third-quarter earnings can clear a higher bar amid rising oil prices, elevated Treasury yields, and election-related uncertainty. It also highlighted concentration and breadth concerns, noting that gains have been heavily driven by a small group of megacaps even as many index components lag beneath key moving averages.
