KBR is trading 4.58% higher at $41.98 after third-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.12 beat the $1.00 estimate. - Results were reported before the market open on October 29; revenue was $2.03 billion, up 5% year over year but missed expectations. - Sustainable Technology backlog reached a record $5.8 billion, and KBR reaffirmed its 2026 outlook. - Major U.S. indices were lower in pre-market trading; this mixed backdrop does not appear to explain KBR’s rise.
