Cabot stock took a hit after earnings, dropping almost 5% to US$72 even as the company closed out Q4 2026 with solid headline numbers. The quarter delivered basic earnings per share of about US$1.28 on US$1,009m of revenue, capping a full year where adjusted EPS landed at US$6.42. That pullback reflects investors refocusing on a single pressure point: the squeeze in profitability that has pulled trailing net profit margin down to 5.7% compared with 8.8% a year earlier.
