Regal Rexnord (RRX) Could Be 22% Undervalued On Lowered Earnings Guidance

What Regal Rexnord’s Latest Earnings Signal For Investors

Regal Rexnord (RRX) just posted third quarter results that combined higher sales with a swing to a net loss, driven in part by a sizeable goodwill impairment charge.

Management also cut and tightened full year 2026 GAAP earnings guidance, a move that tends to reset expectations and can quickly reshape how investors weigh recent share price strength.

The goodwill hit and lower 2026 earnings guidance did not prevent Regal Rexnord’s share price from rallying, with a 1-day share price return of 6.93% and a year-to-date share price gain of 23.74%. The 1-year total shareholder return of 35.86% points to momentum that has extended beyond this quarter’s reaction.
