Why Is Taylor Devices ( $TAYD) Stock Down -14.04% Today? (Find out why any stock moved today on Tickeron.) TAYD shares fell roughly 14% after the company reported a steep year-over-year decline in first-quarter sales and earnings. The primary catalyst was a fiscal 2027 first-quarter earnings miss, with revenue down about 26% and net earnings down roughly 79% versus the prior-year period. Earnings per share dropped to $0.14 from $0.70 a year earlier, well below investor expectations. Management attributed the weakness to delayed sales recognition from a late-arriving backlog, an unfavorable product mix, and ongoing headwinds in its structural markets. Offsetting the miss, the company reported a record firm-order backlog of $55.2 million, supported by strength in aerospace and defense. $ATMU $ITT $RBC $LECO
