Shares of Dentsply Sirona (XRAY) are facing a steep decline in pre-market trading on Thursday, plunging 8.48% following the release of the company's third-quarter 2025 financial results. The dental equipment maker's earnings report has evidently disappointed investors, triggering a significant sell-off.

The company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.37 for the third quarter, falling short of the IBES estimate of $0.45. This earnings miss appears to be a primary factor driving the stock's downward movement, as it suggests the company's performance did not meet market expectations.

Adding to investor concerns, Dentsply Sirona provided its full-year outlook, projecting an adjusted EPS of $1.6 for the fiscal year. While the specific details of how this guidance compares to previous forecasts or analyst expectations were not provided, the market's reaction indicates that this outlook may be viewed as conservative or disappointing. The combination of the earnings miss and the full-year guidance seems to have shaken investor confidence, resulting in the substantial pre-market decline.
