How does Clearfield's third-quarter performance compare to the same quarter in the previous year and to the prior quarter?
Answer
Based on the excerpt you provided, the only information we have is that Clearfield Inc. (NASDAQ: CLFD) announced its fiscal third‑quarter 2025 results on August 6 2025. The release does not include any specific financial figures or performance metrics (e.g., revenue, earnings per share, operating cash flow, or segment results). Because of that, we cannot determine how the third‑quarter 2025 results compare to:
- The same quarter in the prior year (Q3 2024)
- The immediately preceding quarter (Q2 2025)
A meaningful comparison requires at least one of the following data points for each period:
- Revenue (or net sales)
- Net income / loss
- Adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
- Operating cash flow
- Key segment or geographic performance metrics
- Guidance or commentary on year‑over‑year (YoY) or quarter‑over‑quarter (QoQ) changes
What to do next
If you can locate the full press release (or the accompanying earnings table) from Clearfield’s investor relations site, GlobeNewswire, or a financial news service, you’ll likely find a “Management Discussion & Analysis” section that typically includes statements such as:
- “Revenue grew X% versus Q3 2024 and Y% versus Q2 2025.”
- “Adjusted EPS was $Z, up A% YoY and down B% QoQ.”
- “Operating cash flow increased C% from the prior quarter but declined D% from the same quarter last year.”
With those numbers you could then construct a concise, data‑driven comparison, for example:
| Metric | Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | Q2 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $X M | $Y M (↑ Z %) | $W M (↓ V %) |
| Adjusted EPS | $A | $B (↑ C %) | $D (↓ E %) |
| Net Income | $F M | $G M (↑ H %) | $I M (↓ J %) |
Bottom line: With the current excerpt alone, we lack the quantitative details needed to answer the question. Please provide the specific performance figures (or a link to the full earnings release), and I’ll gladly generate a comprehensive YoY and QoQ comparison for Clearfield’s third‑quarter 2025 results.
