EverQuote, Inc. reported strong financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, with revenue expanding 25.4% year-over-year to $218.08 million, driven primarily by an increase in automotive carrier marketing spend and referrals. Operating income increased 36.5% to $23.93 million, while net income totaled $18.15 million compared to $18.87 million in Q3 2025, largely impacted by a higher effective tax expense following the release of its valuation allowance in late 2025. Adjusted EBITDA rose 41.4% year-over-year to $35.45 million, even after absorbing a $4.00 million multi-year advertising vendor contract termination fee. The company reinforced its capital return strategy and balance sheet by authorizing a new $50.00 million share repurchase program on October 21, 2026, following the completion of its prior program, and amending its revolving credit facility to permit expanded share buybacks up to $75.00 million.
The report shows accelerating revenue growth and margin expansion across digital P&C insurance distribution, while demonstrating balance sheet strength ($229.1M in cash, zero debt) enabling ongoing opportunistic share buybacks and increased investments in AI.

Yext, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended July 31, 2026.
