Shares of UL Solutions were on the rise after the testing, inspection and certifications company beat Wall Street expectations for the third quarter and announced a restructuring plan to reduce expenses.
The stock rose 10% to $86.44 in midday Tuesday trading, on track to close at an all-time high. Shares were up 72% year to date.
UL Solutions reported income of $106 million, or 49 cents a share for the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with $94 million, or 44 cents a share, in the year-earlier quarter.
Adjusted earnings per share were 56 cents for the third quarter. Analysts polled by FactSet expected 47 cents a share.
Third-quarter revenue rose 7.1% to $783 million. Analysts expected $770.9 million.
UL Solutions said it's entering a restructuring plan and will exit certain lines of business no longer considered strategically important. The Northbrook, Ill., company expects to incur associated pre-tax expenses between $42 million and $47 million, including between $37 million and $42 million tied to employee-separation charges for about 3.5% of its workforce.
The majority of the costs tied to restructuring are expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter in its consumer and industrial segments, the company said.
