Charles River Laboratories Announces Third-Quarter 2026 Results

Birgit Girshick, Chief Executive Officer of Charles River Laboratories

“In the third quarter, we were encouraged by the continued strength of the biopharmaceutical demand environment and that was reflected in our financial results. Revenue and earnings per share outperformed our prior expectations, DSA net bookings and proposals continued to show robust, year-over-year increases, and we continued to make meaningful progress towards our strategy and long-term financial targets. We see significant opportunities to continue to strengthen Charles River’s position as a leading scientific partner for regulated testing across the drug development continuum. Through our Pathway to Purpose strategy, we are building a more agile, client-centric organization that will deepen client relationships, expand engagement across our portfolio, and increase our share of R&D spend as demand trends continue to improve.”
