Where the Five Industrial Names Land on Third-Quarter Revenue Growth

Third-quarter 2026 figures reported around Nov 2, 2026 put this group in order based on top-line expansion. Leading the field is Voyager Technologies (NYSE:VOYG), whose sales advanced by 124.1%, arriving at $88.7 million. Allison Transmission (NYSE:ALSN) follows, up 121% and at $1,534 million, while Commercial Vehicle Group (NASDAQ:CVGI) posted 36.5%, reaching $208.1 million, and Douglas Dynamics (NYSE:PLOW) recorded 35% growth and $218.0 million. TAT Technologies (NASDAQ:TATT) finished with a 20.2% gain, which left it at $55.6 million.

Bases vary widely. Voyager's sales sit beneath the $100 million mark, which makes doubling a modest absolute move; Allison's gain is partly built on $653 million from an off-highway unit purchased on Jan 1, 2026, and the standalone Business alone posted $881 million, up 27%.

Growth and profit diverged. Voyager lost $55.7 million on the bottom line; the other four were in the black, with Allison at $191 million, Douglas Dynamics at $21.2 million, TAT Technologies at $7.7 million and Commercial Vehicle Group at $5.6 million.

1. Voyager Technologies: Record Backlog and a 124% Sales Surge Alongside a Wider Loss

Voyager's net sales rose to $88.7 million from $39.6 million, an increase of 68% over the second quarter. Bookings hit a record $116 million, a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3, and backlog stood at $742 million, of which $347 million is associated with its Astrobotic purchase.

Gross margin contracted, landing at 11.5% versus 15.4% earlier, as the company spent on capacity build-outs and strategic initiatives. The company's loss on an attributable basis grew to $55.7 million, which equals $0.91 per share, compared with $16.3 million earlier. SG&A rose to $47.8 million from $25.1 million.

2026 revenue guidance now begins at $285 million and tops out at $305 million, following a raise to the floor. Starlab, the commercial space station effort, had about $700 million of signed commercial reservations, up from roughly $500 million one quarter earlier. Cash burn for the quarter was $47.8 million, while total Liquidity stood at $815.7 million.

2. Allison Transmission: Off-Highway Acquisition Versus Organic Sales Momentum

Allison's net sales totaled $1,534 million, of which the acquired off-highway business supplied $653 million. Net Income totaled $191 million, which works out to $2.30 a diluted share, against $1.63. Adjusted EBITDA came to $400 million, but the margin fell from 36.9% to 26.1%, a shift attributed to the lower-margin acquired operation.

On-Highway sales in North America set a record at $462 million, climbing 41%. Adjusted free Cash Flow amounted to $278 million, and net Debt was $3,515 million.

Full-year sales are now projected between $5,975 million and $6,075 million, with net income between $645 million and $685 million; roughly $125 million in one-time pre-tax charges linked to the off-highway unit is contained in that figure. Prior ranges are not given.

3. Commercial Vehicle Group: Property and Warrant Gains Behind a Swing to Profit

Revenue reached $208.1 million, a rise from $152.5 million. OEM and other sales increased 42.9%, aftermarket sales rose 8.3%, and the gross margin, measured at 13.5%, was up from 10.5%. Profit of $5.6 million replaced a $7.1 million net loss a year ago.

Two items outside core operations added value: a sale-leaseback gain of $3.1 million and warrant-liability gains of $4.1 million. Without them, the pre-tax result would have been a loss of roughly $1.6 million (calculated).

Nine-month operating cash generation shrank to $1.7 million, compared with $32.4 million, as Working Capital expanded. The item comes from a quarterly filing and offers no numerical forecast.

4. Douglas Dynamics: Pre-Season Shipments and Attachments Drive Net Income Up 166%

Douglas Dynamics' sales reached $218.0 million, a record and a 35% climb from $162.1 million. Profit landed at $21.2 million, equal to $0.89 per diluted share, from $8.0 million, which was $0.33 per share. The gross margin rate climbed to 27.4%, versus 23.5% previously, while adjusted EBITDA jumped 89% to $37.9 million.

Revenue from Work Truck Attachments grew 78%, landing at $121.5 million, with early-season orders, a factory output increase and an acquired business behind the gain. Work Truck Solutions added 3%, reaching $96.5 million, while its margin contracted to 8.1%.

The company manufactures equipment for snow and ice control and upfits work trucks. Operating cash use widened to $47.5 million across nine months as receivables grew. The 2026 net sales outlook was raised to between $770 million and $805 million.

5. TAT Technologies: Margin Strength Alongside a Smaller Backlog

Revenue for TAT climbed 20.2%, arriving at $55.6 million. Net Earnings amounted to $7.7 million, and diluted EPS was $0.58, compared with $4.8 million earlier. Gross Profit advanced to $17.2 million, a 48.2% gain, producing a 30.9% margin that is a company high; adjusted EBITDA was $10.9 million.

Sales of auxiliary power units expanded 34.4%, while trading, leasing and distribution revenue jumped 85.5%; management noted that this latter stream depends on deal timing. Backlog fell from $615 million to $577 million after $34 million in landing gear agreements came off the list.

Formal guidance was not issued. Only a call transcript supports this entry, which leaves the listing exchange and quarter end unverified in its files.

Growth Dispersion Across the Five: Averages, Gaps and Scale Concentration

Averaged across the five, year-over-year growth comes to 67.4% (calculated). The distance between Voyager, the quickest grower, and TAT Technologies, the slowest, measures 103.9 percentage points (calculated). Taking out the two leaders, the remaining three average 30.6% (calculated).

Allison contributes 72.9% (calculated) of the five-company total, which equals $2,104.4 million (calculated), meaning most of the scale is concentrated in one firm. Both Voyager and Allison carried acquisition effects, and revenue bases run between $55.6 million and $1,534 million, which means the growth rates cannot be read side by side.

What to Watch Next: Voyager's NASA Bid Timing, Douglas Dynamics' Call and Allison's Filing

Voyager expects NASA's Phase 2 submissions to close in December 2026, with the award arriving around spring 2027. Its Griffin-1 launch is set for late 2026. Douglas Dynamics schedules its quarterly results discussion for Nov 3, 2026, using an assumption of average fourth-quarter snowfall that management says can make results variable.

The Form 10-Q from Allison is slated for filing later in the same week. Neither the Commercial Vehicle Group nor TAT Technologies items carry a dated milestone, although TAT foresees income tax payments starting in 2027.
