Deals and debt shape third-quarter results: the week in business

Third-quarter 2026 results made up the week's releases, and deals shaped many of them. Allegiant Travel reported its first full quarter including Sun Country Airlines. Rayonier's results included PotlatchDeltic's operations for the full period. Brink's said it now expects to close its acquisition of NCR Atleos in early January 2027. DiamondRock Hospitality completed the purchase of The Bellmoor Inn & Spa on October 1, 2026.

Balance sheets were a second theme. Light & Wonder says it is prioritizing debt reduction over share buybacks. TELUS plans to direct proceeds from monetizing TELUS Health and TELUS Agriculture & Consumer Goods toward debt reduction. Natural Resource Partners fully repaid its credit facility balance. Non-cash impairments weighed on results at Beyond Meat and TELUS. On guidance, DiamondRock raised its full-year outlook, Allegiant and TELUS reaffirmed theirs, and Light & Wonder said its AEBITDA growth would come in toward the lower end of its range.
