Segmental ResultsFleet Management Solutions: Total revenues of $1.56 billion inched up 6% year over year, reflecting higher fuel pricing passed through to customers and higher operating revenues. Operating revenues of $1.30 billion increased 1% year over year, reflecting contractual revenue growth, partially offset by lower commercial rental demand.

Defense Earnings Show Readiness Now and Modernization AheadRyder System NYSE: R reported its seventh consecutive quarter of comparable earnings-per-share growth, with management pointing to contractual revenue, strategic initiatives and improving used vehicle sales as the main contributors to second-quarter 2026 results.
Chief Executive Officer John Diez said Ryder’s “transformed model” continued to outperform prior cycles, supported by a shift toward less capital-intensive businesses and long-term customer contracts. He said more than 90% of Ryder’s revenue is generated through long-term contracts, which management views as a key factor in the company’s resilience during the freight cycle.

Prepare for the Next Wave of Factory Automation With These 3 Standout Names“The Ryder team delivered our seventh consecutive quarter of comparable EPS growth,” Diez said. “Solid results were primarily driven by consistent execution on our strategic initiatives. Improving market conditions and used vehicle sales also contributed to our higher results.”
For the quarter, Ryder posted total operating revenue of $2.7 billion, up 3% from the prior year. Comparable earnings per share from continuing operations were $3.73, up 12% year over year. Return on equity was 17%, in line with the prior year. Free cash flow rose to $684 million from $461 million, which Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Cristy Gallo-Aquino attributed to lower capital expenditures.
Fleet Management Leads Earnings Growth CEOs Sell Millions Worth of These 3 Big Name Stocks—What It Means for InvestorsFleet Management Solutions was the primary driver of higher earnings in the quarter. The segment’s operating revenue increased, reflecting contractual revenue growth, partially offset by lower rental demand. Earnings before taxes rose 20% from the prior year to $150 million.
Gallo-Aquino said the improvement reflected benefits from strategic initiatives in the ChoiceLease business, along with strengthening used vehicle market conditions. Fleet Management EBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 11.5%, up from a year earlier but still below Ryder’s long-term target of the low teens over the cycle.
Rental utilization returned to Ryder’s targeted level of 75% on a 15% smaller average fleet. Gallo-Aquino said demand remained below the prior year and historical seasonal trends, but the quarter represented the strongest sequential increase in four years. Rental pricing increased 1% from the prior year.
Used vehicle sales showed improvement as well. Year-over-year used tractor pricing increased 3%, while truck pricing rose 6%. Sequentially, overall pricing was stable, but retail pricing improved 7% for trucks and 3% for tractors. Ryder sold 5,100 used vehicles in the quarter, up 500 units sequentially but down 1,100 units from a year earlier, largely reflecting elevated wholesaling activity in the prior year. Used vehicle inventory declined to 8,500 vehicles, within Ryder’s target range.
Supply Chain and Dedicated Results Mixed Supply Chain Solutions operating revenue increased 7%, driven by new business, partially offset by lost business in automotive. Segment earnings before taxes declined 7% year over year, which Ryder attributed to lower automotive results and, to a lesser extent, productivity issues tied to new business ramp-ups. Benefits from optimization of the company’s omni-channel retail network partially offset those pressures.
Supply Chain EBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 8.4%, which management said was at the segment’s long-term high-single-digit target. Gallo-Aquino noted that comparisons were challenging because the prior-year quarter included record results.
Dedicated Transportation Solutions operating revenue declined 3% due to a lower fleet count, partially offset by higher pricing. Earnings before taxes were lower than a year ago, reflecting reduced operating revenue and adverse development of prior-year insurance claims, partly offset by strategic initiative benefits. Dedicated EBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 7.9%, also at the segment’s long-term high-single-digit target.
Guidance Raised on Used Vehicle Outlook Ryder raised the low end of its full-year 2026 comparable EPS forecast to $14.40 from $14.05, while keeping the high end at $14.80. Diez said the increase largely reflected an improved outlook and reduced downside in used vehicle sales. Ryder now expects used vehicle sales gains of about $40 million for the full year, up $10 million from its prior forecast.
That benefit is expected to be partially offset by the timing of new business onboarding in Supply Chain. Ryder also revised its 2026 return on equity forecast to 18%, compared with its prior range of 17% to 18%. The company maintained its free cash flow forecast of $700 million to $800 million. For the third quarter, Ryder forecast comparable EPS of $4.00 to $4.20, above the prior-year result of $3.57.
Diez said Ryder remains on track to deliver $70 million in incremental benefits from strategic initiatives in 2026. Those initiatives are part of a $170 million multi-year program launched in 2024 and include lease pricing, maintenance cost savings, Dedicated margin improvement actions and Supply Chain network optimization.
Management also said Ryder could benefit meaningfully from a freight cycle upturn. By the next cycle peak, Ryder estimates a potential $250 million benefit, primarily from rental and used vehicle sales recovery in Fleet Management, with additional benefits from higher omni-channel retail volumes.
Capital Spending and Shareholder Returns Year-to-date lease capital spending was $605 million, below the prior year due to timing of replacement activity. Ryder expects full-year 2026 lease spending of $1.9 billion and rental spending of $200 million. Total capital expenditures are forecast at approximately $2.4 billion, with net capital expenditures expected to be about $1.9 billion after roughly $500 million in proceeds from used vehicle sales.
Gallo-Aquino said Ryder’s contractual base is generating higher earnings and cash flow, helping reduce leverage and create additional debt capacity. Over a three-year period, Ryder expects to generate about $10.5 billion from operating cash flow and used vehicle sales proceeds, creating approximately $14 billion available for capital deployment when incremental debt capacity is included.
The company estimates that about $9.5 billion will be used for lease and rental replacement vehicles and dividends, leaving around $4.5 billion for flexible deployment to support growth, acquisitions, investments and share repurchases. Ryder returned $406 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends year to date. The board also authorized a new discretionary 2 million share repurchase program and approved an 11% increase to the quarterly dividend, marking the fourth consecutive year of a double-digit dividend increase.
Management Sees Strong Sales Pipelines During the question-and-answer session, management said sales activity remained strong across the business. Diez said Fleet Management had seen two consecutive quarters of positive net sales, with fleet growth expected to improve toward the end of 2026 and into 2027. Tom Havens, President of Fleet Management Solutions, said the lag between sales and fleet additions reflects the time required to order and place vehicles into service.
In Dedicated, Diez said record pipelines reflected customer interest in outsourced capacity as the trucking market tightens. He cited rising costs, tighter driver capacity and higher insurance costs as trends supporting the Dedicated business.
Analysts also asked about competition in Supply Chain, including Amazon’s logistics offerings. Diez said Ryder had not seen an impact on its sales pipeline. Steve Sensing, President of Supply Chain Solutions and Dedicated Transportation Solutions, said Ryder had not yet encountered Amazon in requests for quotes and emphasized that Ryder’s Supply Chain solutions are typically customized, dedicated operations for individual customers.
Diez said freight market conditions are improving, but remain below normalized levels, with geopolitical and macroeconomic factors still affecting the pace and durability of recovery.

Ryder (R - Free Report) reported $3.35 billion in revenue for the quarter ended June 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 5%. EPS of $3.73 for the same period compares to $3.32 a year ago.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of +1.14% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.31 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $3.70, the EPS surprise was +0.81%.
While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.
Here is how Ryder performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Average fleet count - ChoiceLease: 141,200 compared to the 140,812 average estimate based on two analysts.Commercial rental - Rental Utilization - Power Units: 75% versus the two-analyst average estimate of 71%.Commercial rental - Average fleet count: 29,200 versus the two-analyst average estimate of 29,912.Operating Revenue- Fleet Management Solutions: $1.3 billion compared to the $1.29 billion average estimate based on two analysts.

Shares of Ryder have returned +5.9% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +0.4% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
Ryder (R - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.73 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.7 per share. This compares to earnings of $3.32 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +0.81%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this truck leasing company would post earnings of $2.29 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.54, delivering a surprise of +10.92%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Ryder, which belongs to the Zacks Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry, posted revenues of $3.35 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.14%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3.19 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Ryder shares have added about 44.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.6%.
What's Next for Ryder?While Ryder has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Ryder was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $4.23 on $3.36 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $14.73 on $13.22 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Transportation - Equipment and Leasing is currently in the bottom 31% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Collaboration combines more than 9,000 KetaMist® patient treatments with PharmaTher's prior FDA-approved ketamine experience
Pursuing an efficient FDA development pathway toward approval for treatment-resistant depression and other potential indications, leveraging KetaMist's real-world treatment foundation
KetaMist represents a differentiated, patient-controlled ketamine platform with the potential to build a multi-indication ketamine franchise
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 21, 2026) - PharmaTher Holdings Ltd. (CSE: PHRM) (OTCQB: PHRRF) ("PharmaTher" or the "Company"), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on personalized medicines for peptides and psychedelics, today announced a collaboration with Curtis W. Cassidy, M.D., the inventor and developer of KetaMist® (ketamist.com), a needle-free ketamine treatment platform, to pursue U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and other neuropsychiatric and medical conditions where ketamine has demonstrated therapeutic benefit.
KetaMist is a proprietary, patient-controlled and needle-free ketamine treatment platform developed by Dr. Cassidy for patients with treatment-resistant depression and other conditions. According to Dr. Cassidy, KetaMist has been used in more than 9,000 patient treatments, creating a meaningful body of real-world clinical experience that PharmaTher believes may support an efficient and potentially expedited FDA development strategy.
Targeting the Large and Growing TRD Market While Building a Ketamine Franchise
Treatment-resistant depression represents a significant unmet medical need, affecting millions of patients in the United States who do not respond adequately to standard antidepressant therapies. The current FDA-approved ketamine-based therapy for TRD, Spravato® (esketamine nasal spray), has demonstrated strong commercial traction, generating approximately $1.7 billion in worldwide sales in 2025, with trailing twelve-month sales through June 30, 2026 of approximately $2.0 billion.1 Analysts have reportedly projected that Spravato could generate approximately $3 billion in annual sales by 2027 and up to $5 billion in peak annual sales, highlighting the significant commercial opportunity for differentiated ketamine-based treatments.2
PharmaTher believes KetaMist has the potential to compete in this large and growing market by offering a differentiated treatment approach that may address certain limitations associated with existing therapies.
KetaMist is designed as a patient-controlled and needle-free delivery system, which may offer several potential advantages, subject to FDA approval:
Personalized dosing and administration, allowing physicians to tailor treatment to individual patient response;Simplified delivery method, potentially improving patient comfort and accessibility;Potential for broader clinical adoption, depending on regulatory requirements and labeling; andUse of racemic ketamine, which may provide a differentiated pharmacological profile compared to esketamine.Beyond TRD, PharmaTher views KetaMist as a franchise platform with the potential to be developed across multiple indications where ketamine has already demonstrated clinical utility, including but not limited to depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and other neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions. While many of these uses are currently off-label, the Company believes KetaMist's flexible and personalized delivery approach may support expansion into additional therapeutic areas over time, subject to regulatory approval.
A Potentially Expedited Path Toward FDA Approval
PharmaTher and Dr. Cassidy plan to work with the FDA to find an efficient path to approval for KetaMist.
Because ketamine is already an FDA-approved drug, the Company may be able to build on existing knowledge. KetaMist has already been used in more than 9,000 patient treatments, providing real-world experience on how the therapy is administered, how patients respond, and overall safety. PharmaTher will prepare regulatory documents to help guide discussions with the FDA toward a potentially expedited approval pathway.
Leveraging PharmaTher's FDA-Approved Ketamine Foundation
PharmaTher previously obtained FDA approval for Ketamine Hydrochloride Injection USP under ANDA #217858, demonstrating the Company's ability to complete the regulatory, manufacturing, analytical and quality requirements necessary to secure an FDA ketamine approval.
Although PharmaTher completed its sale of its ANDA in December 2025, the Company retained its rights to pursue non-generic ketamine opportunities, including new formulations, delivery technologies and therapeutic indications. PharmaTher also retained significant regulatory and product-development experience generated through the successful ANDA program.
As part of the KetaMist collaboration, PharmaTher intends to apply its ketamine regulatory, analytical and chemistry, manufacturing and controls experience to the KetaMist development program and seek FDA feedback on the most efficient pathway toward approval.
Positioned at the Intersection of Ketamine, Personalized Medicine and Regulatory Momentum
The collaboration follows PharmaTher's recently announced strategy to advance personalized medicines for peptides and psychedelics through differentiated products, enabling technologies and regulatory pathways.
KetaMist is aligned with that strategy because its patient-controlled delivery approach is intended to allow treatment to be adjusted to individual patient response rather than relying solely on a standardized administration model.
Importantly, PharmaTher believes KetaMist's design supports its development as a multi-indication ketamine franchise, leveraging the well-established pharmacology of ketamine and its broad therapeutic potential across numerous conditions.
The program also arrives during a period of increased U.S. regulatory attention toward ketamine and innovative mental-health treatments.
PharmaTher believes that recent regulatory precedents demonstrate increasing openness to development strategies that incorporate real-world data and leverage existing clinical experience to support more efficient pathways to approval. While each program is evaluated independently by the FDA, these precedents may provide a framework for engaging with regulators on potential expedited development approaches.
"KetaMist fits our strategy perfectly-a doctor-developed ketamine treatment with over 9,000 patient uses and a path to FDA approval. While we are initially focused on treatment-resistant depression, we believe KetaMist represents a broader franchise opportunity across multiple indications where ketamine has already shown clinical benefit. By combining this real-world experience with our prior FDA-approved ketamine work, we believe we can move faster and more efficiently than traditional drug development and unlock meaningful value across several large markets," said Fabio Chianelli, Chief Executive Officer of PharmaTher.
Dr. Curtis W. Cassidy commented: "I developed KetaMist to give physicians and patients a more personalized and accessible approach to ketamine treatment. After more than 9,000 patient treatments, we have gained substantial practical experience regarding how patients respond and how treatment may be individualized across a range of conditions. PharmaTher shares that focus on personalized medicine and has the pharmaceutical-development and FDA experience needed to take the next important step toward broader access and potential regulatory approval."
Near-Term Development Priorities
The collaboration activities will include preparing an FDA meeting package to obtain guidance for a potentially accelerated path toward FDA approval.
Near-term milestones are expected to include regulatory engagement with the FDA, definition of the clinical and data requirements for a potential NDA submission, and evaluation of how existing real-world data may support the development program.
The collaboration agreement provides PharmaTher with a one-year evaluation period to assess KetaMist for potential development and commercial testing. During this period, the parties may negotiate and enter into one or more additional agreements (each a "Possible Transaction") relating to the further development and commercialization of KetaMist, subject to mutually acceptable terms.
KetaMist is not currently approved by the FDA, and its existing clinical use is considered off-label. There can be no assurance that the FDA will accept the proposed regulatory pathway, that the existing treatment information will be suitable for regulatory use, or that KetaMist will receive FDA approval.

Ryder (R - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 23, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis truck leasing company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.71 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +11.8%.
Revenues are expected to be $3.28 billion, up 2.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.05% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Ryder?For Ryder, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.41%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Ryder will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Ryder would post earnings of $2.29 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.54, delivering a surprise of +10.92%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Ryder doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Key Takeaways R hiked its quarterly dividend by 10.9% to $1.01 per share, payable on Sept. 18 to shareholders as of Aug. 24.This marks R's 200th consecutive quarterly dividend, continuing over 50 years of uninterrupted payouts.Dividend-paying stocks are less susceptible to market swings and act as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Last week, Ryder System, Inc. (R - Free Report) ) stated that its board of directors had announced an increase in its quarterly dividend payout, reflectingthe company’s commitment to boosting shareholder value, apart from underlining confidence in its business.
Dividend-paying stocks provide a solid income stream and have fewer chances of experiencing wild price swings. Dividend stocks are safe bets for creating wealth, as the payouts generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty, like the current scenario.
Given this backdrop, the question that naturally arises is: Should investors buy, hold, or sell Ryder stock now? A more in-depth analysis is needed to make that determination. Before diving into Ryder’s investment prospects, let’s take a glance at its financial numbers.
Ryder’s Recent Dividend Increase of 10.9%In a shareholder-friendly move, Ryder’s board of directors has approved a dividend hike of 10.9%, thereby raising its quarterly cash dividend to $1.01 per share ($4.04 annualized) from 91 cents ($3.64 annualized). The raised dividend will be paid on Sept. 18, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on Aug. 24, 2026. The move reflects R’s intention to utilize free cash to enhance its shareholders’ returns.
R's latest dividend hike is the first increase since July 2025, implying the company’s confidence in its financial footing. This marks Ryder’s 200th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. Notably, Ryder has been making uninterrupted dividend payments for more than 50 years.
Ryder has been making uninterrupted dividend payments for more than 48 years. Ryder’s bottom line has been benefiting from its consistent efforts to reward its shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. During 2022, Ryder paid dividends of $123 million and repurchased shares worth $557 million. In 2023, Ryder paid dividends of $128 million and repurchased shares worth $337 million. In 2024, Ryder returned $456 million in cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. During 2025, Ryder returned $664 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments. During first-quarter 2026, Ryder returned $272 million to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends.
Apart from being shareholder-friendly, Ryder is well-served by its focus on contractual growth and operational discipline. Upbeat used vehicle sales, particularly in its fleet management segment, along with stable pricing and improved contractual sales activity, bode well.
Ryder's cost-cutting initiatives in response to the weak freight market conditions are also commendable. Higher free cash flow generation expectation (this reflects lower capital spending due to softer lease sales activity) for the full year is another added positive. Ryder generated $2.59 billion of cash from operating activities in 2025, higher than the $2.26 billion generated in 2024. For 2026, adjusted ROE (return on equity) is expected to be in the range of 17-18%. Net cash from operating activities is still projected to be $2.7 billion.
Ryder Stock’s Price PerformanceShares of Ryder have gained 40.5% so far this year, outperforming the Zacks Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry’s 11.8% increase, as well as that of other industry players, The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (GBX - Free Report) and Wabtec Corporation (WAB - Free Report) .

What Do Earnings Estimates Say for Ryder?The positive sentiment surrounding Ryder stock is evident from the fact that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third quarter of 2026 and the fourth quarter of 2026 earnings has been revised upward in the past 90 days. The consensus mark for 2026 and 2027 earnings has also been projected northward in the past 90 days.
The favorable estimate revisions indicate brokers’ confidence in the stock.

Time to Buy Ryder StockApart from being attractively valued, Ryder stock is being well-served by its focus on contractual growth and operational discipline. Upbeat used vehicle sales, particularly in its fleet management segment, along with stable pricing and improved contractual sales activity, bode well. Initiatives to reward its shareholders through dividends and buybacks are praiseworthy as well.
We believe that the positives surrounding the stock (as highlighted throughout the write-up) outweigh the concerns regarding supply-chain disruptions and high fuel costs due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, tariff-induced economic uncertainties, risks associated with an economic slowdown, geopolitical tensions and a leveraged balance sheet. We, therefore, suggest investors add Ryder stock to their portfolios for healthy returns. The company’s Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) further supports our thesis.

BioLargo's newly formed subsidiary, BioLargo CPG, will bring to consumers the authentic, independently safety-tested CupriDyne® technology under its own brand following the marketing success of the original Pooph products that generated more than $125 million in pet-care sales while under license from BioLargo.
WESTMINSTER, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 13, 2026 / BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQX:BLGO) today announced that it is preparing to relaunch CupriDyne®-based consumer pet products under a yet-to-be-announced brand. Targeting pets first, the new consumer products subsidiary will eventually expand into household odor and cleaning products. Formed to fill the gap left by Pooph's ongoing withdrawal from the market, BioLargo will sell direct to consumers and through online marketplaces such as Amazon, leveraging a "digital-first" strategy that allows for hyper-specific audience targeting, real-time performance tracking, and flexible budgets, rather than depending on expensive television campaigns.
CupriDyne-based pet products generated over $125 million in sales while under license and marketed under the Pooph brand. Unfortunately, a series of business decisions by Pooph's management later culminated in its abandonment of CupriDyne-formulated products, the foreclosure of their assets by their lender, board and CEO resignations, and what appears to be the cessation of business operations. BioLargo always owned the CupriDyne technology and had to revoke Pooph's license. Now, the ownership of the Pooph brand is embroiled in litigation. "As a result, we have an opportunity to leverage the prior marketing success by introducing our own brand" said Joseph Provenzano, who will lead the new BioLargo consumer products subsidiary as CEO.
BioLargo's launch brings the CupriDyne® technology and BioLargo's original products back to consumers who loved them. According to Grand View Research1, the U.S. pet odor control and clean-up products market was valued at approximately $6.47 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach approximately $8.87 billion by 2030. BioLargo's initial launch into pet odor control is part of a much larger home and pet cleaning opportunity. The company views pet care as a proven, well-defined category where the difference between masking and eliminating odors is immediately obvious to consumers. Unlike the Pooph brand, BioLargo's new brand will not be limited to pets, and will use the pet product launch to anchor a broader expansion of CupriDyne products across the home.
BioLargo has assembled a team of branding, marketing, creative, and channel-sales experts with proven track records building and growing consumer brands nationally in the pet and household categories. It plans to release additional information, including the product line, the brand name, and key team members, as the product nears its formal launch.
"It will be great to get back into the pet odor control and consumer products business", said Dennis Calvert, BioLargo CEO. "We have seen what can be done, and this time we will own the brand and control the marketing and distribution."

GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "Reaching more than 30,000 hours of ASTM B117-19 salt sea spray testing with no observed corrosion is a significant validation of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE in one of the harshest standard corrosion test environments available. To put this in context, many premium automotive, building and industrial coatings are benchmarked at around 1,000 hours, and high-performance marine and offshore systems at 2,000 hours or more, with extended programmes for some advanced systems reaching into the low thousands of hours. By surpassing 30,000 hours in continuous salt spray testing while also delivering improved heat transfer under high air-flow conditions, THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE demonstrates truly next-generation performance in both corrosion protection and heat-exchange efficiency."
GMG's Chairman and Non-Executive Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "It is fantastic to see THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE providing measurable benefits in such an important application - space cooling, refrigeration and data centres in demanding operating and environmental conditions. These results, combined with our growing regulatory approvals and distribution footprint, give us confidence in the role THERMAL-XR® can play as a global benchmark coating for energy savings and corrosion protection."

About GMG:
GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.
The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.
In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries"). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:
Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processesBuild Revenue from Energy Savings ProductsDevelop Next-Generation Battery Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution CapabilityNeither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
This news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect the expectations or beliefs of management of the Company regarding future events. Generally, forward-looking statements and information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "intends", "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "estimates" or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would" or will "potentially" or "likely" occur. These statements, referred to herein as "forward-looking statements", are not historical facts and are made as of the date of this news release.
Forward-looking statements in this news release include, without limitation, statements regarding: the Company's expectations relating to the performance, durability, energy savings and enhanced corrosion resistance of the THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE graphene coating product in commercial applications; the Company's belief that THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE represents next-generation heat transfer technology and a global benchmark coating; the anticipated benefits of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE in radiators, HVAC-R systems, engine cooling and other industrial and building applications; the Company's expectations regarding market demand and commercialisation of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE and related products (including Nu-Calgon CoolWorx® powered by GMG Graphene); references to typical ASTM B117-19 salt spray benchmark durations for premium automotive, building, industrial, marine and offshore coatings and statements comparing those benchmarks to THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE's extended salt spray test duration; and the Company's regulatory and commercialisation plans in the United States and other jurisdictions, including the implications of approvals or consent orders from regulators such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), GMG's intentions to develop commercial scale-up capabilities, GMG's focus in the energy savings segment, GMG's intentions for the use of graphene lubricant additive on saving liquid fuels, expectations for R&D and commercialisation of G+AI Batteries, GMG's ability to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries and the Company's four critical business objectives.
Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions of management, including, without limitation: that the results observed in laboratory salt sea spray testing and other technical evaluations of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE (including extended ASTM B117-19 test durations) will be indicative of performance in real-world commercial operating conditions; that THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE will continue to perform as expected over extended periods; that comparisons to typical salt spray benchmark durations for other coatings are a useful indicator of relative corrosion-resistance performance, recognising that ASTM B117-19 is an accelerated, comparative test method and not a direct predictor of in-service lifespan; that regulatory approvals, consent notices and other permissions (including those from the EPA, ECCC and other national or regional authorities) will remain in effect on terms acceptable to the Company; that the Company and its distributors will be able to market, sell and deliver THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE and related products into target markets as planned; that sufficient customer demand will develop for energy-saving and corrosion-protection coatings at the performance levels contemplated; and that the Company's cash position, access to capital and business fundamentals will remain supportive of its commercialisation plans.
Additionally, forward-looking information involves a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual plans, intentions, activities, results, performance or achievements of GMG to be materially different from any future plans, intentions, activities, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, without limitation: the risk that laboratory test results, including salt sea spray testing duration and performance, do not translate into equivalent real-world performance; the risk that extended salt spray test durations may be misinterpreted as direct indicators of product life in service; technical de-risking and market acceptance risks for THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE and other products; construction, scale-up, manufacturing and supply chain risks; the risk that required approvals, consent notices or permits are not received, are delayed, are revoked or are received or maintained on terms that are not acceptable to the Company (including from the EPA, ECCC and other regulators); changes in environmental, chemical or product-safety regulations; competitive product and technology developments; overall economic conditions and capital market volatility; foreign exchange fluctuations; and the risk factors set out under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual information form dated November 4, 2025 available for review on the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, forward-looking information or financial outlook that is incorporated by reference herein, except as required by applicable securities laws.

Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.
Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the "Value" category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, "A" grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.
Ryder System (R - Free Report) is a stock many investors are watching right now. R is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), as well as an A grade for Value. The stock has a Forward P/E ratio of 12.74. This compares to its industry's average Forward P/E of 15.88. Over the past 52 weeks, R's Forward P/E has been as high as 13.18 and as low as 9.22, with a median of 11.32.
Investors should also recognize that R has a P/B ratio of 2.44. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This company's current P/B looks solid when compared to its industry's average P/B of 3.65. Over the past 12 months, R's P/B has been as high as 2.52 and as low as 1.79, with a median of 2.16.
Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. R has a P/S ratio of 0.8. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.44.
These are just a handful of the figures considered in Ryder System's great Value grade. Still, they help show that the stock is likely being undervalued at the moment. Add this to the strength of its earnings outlook, and we can clearly see that R is an impressive value stock right now.

~ Clearance reflects Tenon's commitment to continuous innovation and operational efficiency, with reusable instrumentation expected to drive lower capex and logistical spend, contributing positively to gross margins and cash flow ~
LOS GATOS, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 2, 2026 / Tenon Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:TNON) ("Tenon" or the "Company"), a company transforming care for patients suffering with certain sacro-pelvic disorders, today announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its Catamaran® SI Joint Fusion System.
The updated clearance incorporates various instrument upgrades, as well as the reclassification of certain instruments from disposable to reusable status. These enhancements are designed to further improve the performance of the Catamaran System while delivering meaningful economic benefits to the Company by eliminating ongoing per-procedure costs previously associated with disposable instrumentation.
"This 510(k) clearance reflects our ongoing commitment to never-ending refinement of our Catamaran System - not only for the physicians who rely on it and the patients who depend on it, but also for the long-term financial health of our business," said Steven M. Foster, President and CEO of Tenon. "The instrument upgrades advance the procedural performance that our surgeon users have come to expect from the Catamaran platform, and the transition of select instruments from disposable to reusable status is a smart operational improvement that will reduce our per-procedure cost structure and contribute positively to our gross margins going forward. As we continue to drive commercial adoption across our growing portfolio, initiatives like this demonstrate that we are focused on building a sustainable, scalable business."
The Catamaran SI Joint Fusion System offers a novel, minimally invasive approach to the sacroiliac joint, utilizing a single, robust titanium implant that stabilizes and transfixes the SI joint along its longitudinal axis. The implant's inferior-posterior surgical approach is designed to navigate away from critical neural and vascular structures and into the strongest cortical bone. Since its national launch in October 2022, there have been over 1,500 Catamaran Fixation Devices implanted in patients throughout the United States suffering from sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis.
About Tenon Medical, Inc.
Tenon Medical, Inc. is a medical device company dedicated to transforming care for patients with certain sacro-pelvic disorders. Tenon was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2012 and currently offers two systems to treat a diseased sacroiliac joint (the "SI Joint"). The Company has developed The Catamaran™ SI Joint Fusion System that offers a novel, less invasive approach to the SI Joint using a single, robust titanium implant. In August 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of SiVantage, Inc. and SIMPL Medical, LLC, including the SImmetry+® SI Joint Fusion System, which treats disorders of the SI Joint through a minimally invasive lateral access solution that incorporates well-established orthopedic fusion principles. Since the national launch of The Catamaran System in October 2022, Tenon is focused on three commercial opportunities: 1) primary SI Joint procedures, 2) revision procedures of failed SI Joint implants and 3) SI-Joint fusion adjunct to a spine fusion construct.

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Ryder’s customers range from small businesses to large international enterprises. They are drawn from a wide variety of industries, the most significant of which include automotive, electronics, transportation, grocery, lumber and wood products, food service and home furnishing.
R is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. R has a Growth Style Score of B, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 14.7% for the current fiscal year.
For fiscal 2026, one analyst revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.47 to $14.82 per share. R boasts an average earnings surprise of +4%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, R should be on investors' short list.
Equipped with new features including automatic zoom adjustment by AI and creating a comfortable space by lighting and sound
TOKYO, June 17, 2026 - (JCN Newswire) - Sharp Corporation introduces the AQUOS R11 high-end smartphone. In addition to a function that uses AI to automatically adjust the zoom level according to the subject, it newly features capabilities that create a comfortable space by lighting and sound. These enhancements not only improve usability during photography but also expand the ways users can enjoy their smartphones in everyday life. Sales will begin sequentially in Japan and Taiwan on and after July 9 of this year (*1).
The camera has been supervised by Leica Camera AG (Headquarters: Wetzlar, Germany). Equipped with a high-resolution triple camera system-50.3 MP standard, 50.3 MP ultra-wide, and 38.5 MP telephoto-it supports a wide range of shooting scenarios, from everyday snapshots to expansive landscapes and distant subjects.
AI-powered camera functions have also been further enhanced. The newly introduced Smart Fit Zoom allows users to simply tap a dedicated icon, after which AI automatically adjusts the zoom level according to the subject, enabling well-balanced compositions centered on the intended subject. In addition, the Privacy Safe feature (*2) automatically detects and masks (*3) text such as signs and billboards at the time of capture, helping protect privacy when sharing images on social media.
By combining ease of operation with natural, subject-optimized image results, the camera delivers a photography experience that embodies the concept: Simple, yet stunning.
The new Akarium feature uses a light positioned at the center of the rear camera ring to gently notify users of incoming calls, messages, and other alerts. The lighting incorporates eight colors inspired by hues found in nature. In addition, healing sounds recorded from nature, synchronized with lighting effects modeled after elements such as a campfire and a flowing stream, create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere for moments like before bedtime or during breaks (*2).
The display features a high-brightness Pro IGZO OLED with a peak brightness of 3,600 nits. With its Smart Outdoor View feature, which brightens low-tone areas according to ambient lighting conditions, dark areas of images are clearly visible even under strong sunlight or in dim outdoor environments.
The device is powered by the Snapdragon(R) 8s Gen 4 Mobile Platform, delivering high processing performance and smooth operation. In addition, a large-capacity 5,100 mAh battery and newly designed heat-dissipation components enable stable, long-duration enjoyment of activities such as video streaming and gaming.

Outstanding Features
1. AI-powered camera features, from automatic zoom adjustment to enhanced privacy protection
The newly introduced Smart Fit Zoom allows users to simply tap a dedicated icon, enabling AI to automatically adjust the zoom level according to the subject and capture well-balanced compositions focused on the intended subject. In addition, the Privacy Safe feature automatically detects and masks text such as signs and billboards at the time of capture, helping protect privacy when sharing images on social media. Furthermore, when photographing a My Number Card for identity verification, fields such as gender and organ donor consent are also automatically masked.
In addition, when taking group photos, the camera can generate a single image in which everyone's eyes are naturally open by combining multiple shots. When capturing documents, it removes shadows and corrects perspective distortion, ensuring that text remains clear and easy to read.
2. Equipped with Akarium, a feature that creates a comfortable atmosphere through light and sound
The new Akarium feature uses a light positioned at the center of the rear camera ring to gently notify users of incoming calls, messages, and other alerts. The lighting incorporates eight colors inspired by hues found in nature. In addition, under the supervision of sound designer Shinya Kiyokawa, healing sounds recorded from nature are synchronized with lighting effects inspired by elements such as a campfire, a flowing stream, and sunlight filtering through trees, creating a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere for moments like before bedtime or during breaks.
The device design was supervised by miyake design, founded by designer Kazushige Miyake. The camera ring retains its distinctive free-curve form-neither a perfect circle nor a square. Featuring glossy glass materials and a gently rounded form, the design fits comfortably in the hand while delivering a simple yet premium feel. The lineup includes three distinctive color options that highlight individual style.
3. Enhanced peak brightness and automatic correction of low-tone areas ensure clear visibility and a comfortable viewing experience, even under strong sunlight or in dim outdoor conditions
The approximately 6.5-inch Pro IGZO OLED display has been enhanced to achieve a peak brightness of 3,600 nits-1.2 times higher than the previous model (*4). With Smart Outdoor View, low-tone areas are automatically brightened according to ambient lighting conditions, suppressing black crush and ensuring that details remain clearly visible. In addition, the bezels surrounding the display have been reduced by approximately 21.7 %, achieving a large-screen experience while maintaining a comfortable, easy-to-hold form factor. On the audio side, Dolby Atmos(R)-compatible full-metal BOX speakers deliver immersive sound, from deep bass to clear high sound range.
The device is powered by the Snapdragon(R) 8s Gen 4 Mobile Platform, achieving performance improvements over the previous model of approximately 13 % in CPU and approximately 40 % in GPU (*4). Combined with an enlarged vapor chamber heat dissipation system and the series' largest 5,100 mAh battery, the device maintains stable performance even during demanding gameplay, enabling comfortable use over extended periods.
*4 Compared with the 2025 model AQUOS R10.
Other Features
Equipped with the AI-powered Vocalist feature that eliminates noise in real time. By registering your voice in advance, the AI can identify and suppress voices other than your own as well as surrounding noise during calls, allowing only your voice to be transmitted to the other party. This enables clear and comfortable communication without concern for location, even in environments with loud background noise or announcements.
Corning(R) Gorilla(R) Glass Victus(R) 2 is used on both the front and rear, delivering high durability with enhanced resistance to drops. In addition to a design compliant with MIL standards (*5), the device offers dust resistance and IP69-rated water resistance (*6), ensuring comfortable use across a wide range of scenarios, from everyday settings to outdoor environments.
A new Home Deco feature (*2) enables users to customize wallpapers and fonts to create a home screen tailored to their personal preferences. In addition, Lock Photo Shuffle uses AI to automatically select and display recommended photos from the device on the lock screen, allowing users to enjoy their memories each time they check their display.
As an optional accessory to further enhance the enjoyment of Akarium, Sharp has collaborated with the smartphone accessory brand temari (*7). The lineup includes three colors inspired by a campfire, a flowing stream, and sunlight filtering through trees. By placing this accessory over the rear camera ring, the light is diffused randomly, expanding the range of ambient lighting effects.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Accordingly, these forward-looking statements should be evaluated with consideration given to the many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements including those risks set forth in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.
Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.
Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.
Ryder System (R - Free Report) is a stock many investors are watching right now. R is currently holding a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 12.74 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 16.25. Over the past 52 weeks, R's Forward P/E has been as high as 13.18 and as low as 9.22, with a median of 11.32.
We should also highlight that R has a P/B ratio of 2.44. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This company's current P/B looks solid when compared to its industry's average P/B of 3.71. Over the past 12 months, R's P/B has been as high as 2.52 and as low as 1.79, with a median of 2.16.
Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock's price with the company's sales. Some people prefer this metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement. This means it could be a truer performance indicator. R has a P/S ratio of 0.84. This compares to its industry's average P/S of 1.35.
These are only a few of the key metrics included in Ryder System's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, R looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.
Inclusion reflects the growing convergence of loyalty, promotions, rewards, and first-party customer intelligence in the modern customer engagement landscape
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 17, 2026 / Snipp Interactive Inc. ("Snipp" or the "Company") (TSX-V:SPN)(OTCPK:SNIPF), a value-added SaaS company and leader in shopper marketing promotions, loyalty programs, and purchase validation technology, today announced it has been named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® 2026 Market Guide for Loyalty Program Vendors in the Multisolution Vendor category. This inclusion places Snipp among vendors included in the report and underscores the company's growing presence at the intersection of loyalty, promotions, and data-driven customer engagement.
The Gartner Market Guide evaluates vendors across the loyalty technology landscape, identifying providers that serve enterprise brands seeking integrated solutions for customer acquisition, engagement, and retention. Snipp's inclusion in the Multisolution Vendor category reflects the breadth of its AI powered platform capabilities, spanning loyalty program management, promotional marketing, receipt-based purchase validation, rebate processing, rewards fulfillment, sweepstakes, and customer intelligence.
"We are proud to be listed in Gartner's 2026 Market Guide for Loyalty Program Vendors," said Atul Sabharwal, Founder and CEO of Snipp. "There is a growing demand by brands for a strong multi-solution technology partner who can connect loyalty, promotions, rewards, and customer intelligence into a unified ecosystem. This inclusion reflects exactly that demand, and we're proud to be acknowledged as a vendor meeting it."
A Unified Platform for a More Complex Customer Engagement Landscape
The Gartner report notes that loyalty programs are evolving beyond traditional retention initiatives and increasingly serve as a mechanism for collecting customer data, enabling personalization, and driving long-term customer value. Mid-to-large brands across CPG, retail, and food and beverage are facing mounting pressure to do more with customer data while managing fragmented technology stacks that keep loyalty, promotions, and purchase insights siloed from one another. Snipp's platform addresses this directly by connecting verified transactional data, first-party data acquisition, and program management within a single ecosystem.
At the core of Snipp's differentiation is its AI-powered receipt processing and purchase validation technology, which enables brands to capture verified purchase behavior at scale, independent of retailer data sharing agreements. Combined with fraud detection and prevention capabilities, rewards management, and configurable loyalty mechanics, the platform gives brands a complete infrastructure for managing customer relationships from initial acquisition through long-term retention.
Inclusion That Reflects Market Direction
Snipp's inclusion in the Gartner 2026 Market Guide validates what the company and its customers have seen in practice: loyalty programs are no longer standalone engagement mechanics. They are becoming strategic customer intelligence platforms, and vendors that can integrate promotions, purchase verification, rewards, and actionable data insights within a single offering are best positioned to deliver measurable business outcomes for the brands they serve.
Snipp serves leading brands across CPG, retail, food and beverage, and other consumer industries globally, supporting loyalty programs, rebate campaigns, promotional activations, and data capture initiatives through a single platform and partner relationship.

Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In "long context," investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.
While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Ryder (R - Free Report) , a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.
It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Ryder currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if R is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this truck leasing company holds up.
Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.
For R, shares are up 5.7% over the past week while the Zacks Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry is up 2.23% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 10.45% compares favorably with the industry's 2.46% performance as well.
While any stock can see its price increase, it takes a real winner to consistently beat the market. That is why looking at longer term price metrics -- such as performance over the past three months or year -- can be useful as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Ryder have risen 31.76%, and are up 73.85% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 13.47% and 26.67%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to R's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. R is currently averaging 394,337 shares for the last 20 days.
Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with R.
Over the past two months, 2 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost R's consensus estimate, increasing from $14.23 to $14.82 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 2 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.
Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that R is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of B. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Ryder on your short list.
Key Takeaways Ryder trades at a discount forward P/S ratio compared to its industry average, signaling a cheap valuation. Ryder benefits from cost-cutting initiatives and upbeat used vehicle sales. For 2026, Ryder expects adjusted EPS of $14.05 - $14.80 (prior view: $13.45-$14.45). Ryder System, Inc. (R - Free Report) looks cheap from a valuation standpoint. Considering the forward 12-month price-to-sales ratio (P/S-F12M), Ryder is trading at a discount compared to the industry.
The stock has a forward 12-month P/S-F12M of 0.79X compared with 2.35X for the industry over the past five years. These factors indicate that the stock’s valuation is attractive. Ryder has a Value Score of A.

Now, the question is whether it is worth buying, holding, or selling the Ryder stock at current prices. Let us delve deeper to find out.
Tailwinds Working in Favor of Ryder StockRyder is being well-served by its focus on contractual growth and operational discipline. Upbeat used vehicle sales, particularly in its fleet management segment, along with stable pricing and improved contractual sales activity, bode well.
Ryder has been making uninterrupted dividend payments for more than 48 years. Ryder’s bottom line has been benefiting from its consistent efforts to reward its shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. During 2022, Ryder paid dividends of $123 million and repurchased shares worth $557 million. In 2023, Ryder paid dividends of $128 million and repurchased shares worth $337 million. In 2024, Ryder returned $456 million in cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. During 2025, Ryder returned $664 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments. During first-quarter 2026, Ryder returned $272 million to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends.
Such shareholder-friendly moves indicate the company’s commitment to creating value for shareholders and underline its confidence in its business. Dividend-paying stocks provide a solid income stream and have fewer chances of experiencing wild price swings. Dividend stocks, like Ryder, are safe bets for creating wealth, as the payouts generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty like the current scenario.
Ryder's cost-cutting initiatives in response to the weak freight market conditions are also commendable. Higher free cash flow generation expectation (this reflects lower capital spending due to softer lease sales activity) for the full year is another added positive. Ryder generated $2.59 billion of cash from operating activities in 2025, higher than the $2.26 billion generated in 2024. For 2026, adjusted ROE (return on equity) is expected to be 17-18%. Net cash from operating activities is still projected to be $2.7 billion.
Ryder Stock’s Price PerformanceShares of Ryder have gained 43.5% over the past three months, outperforming the Zacks Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry’s 9.7% increase, as well as that of other industry players, The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (GBX - Free Report) and Wabtec Corporation (WAB - Free Report) .

What Do Earnings Estimates Say for Ryder?The positive sentiment surrounding Ryder stock is evident from the fact that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter of 2026 and third quarter of 2026 earnings has been revised upward in the past 60 days. The consensus mark for 2026 and 2027 earnings has also been projected northward in the past 60 days.
The favorable estimate revisions indicate brokers’ confidence in the stock.

Time to Buy Ryder StockApart from being attractively valued, Ryder stock is being well-served by its focus on contractual growth and operational discipline. An increase in used vehicle sales, particularly in its fleet management segment, along with stable pricing and improved contractual sales activity, bodes well. Initiatives to reward its shareholders through dividends and buybacks are praiseworthy as well.
We believe that the positives surrounding the stock (as highlighted throughout the write-up) outweigh the concerns regarding supply-chain disruptions and high fuel costs due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, tariff-induced economic uncertainties, risks associated with an economic slowdown, geopolitical tensions and a leveraged balance sheet. We, therefore, suggest investors add Ryder stock to their portfolios for healthy returns. The company’s Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) further supports our thesis.

- Hybrid generator and flexible power hub that combines hydrogen fuel cells with high performance batteries to deliver an emission-free alternative to diesel generators
- Provides stable AC power whenever and wherever it's needed, with configurable input modules to connect multiple energy assets
LONDON, June 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Energy, a global leader in electrification, has introduced HyFlex(R) Compact - a hybrid generator and flexible power hub that provides zero-emission electricity for temporary and off-grid applications such as construction projects and other infrastructure. The configurable system combines hydrogen fuel cells with high-performance batteries and can integrate additional power sources, delivering stable AC power as a clean alternative to diesel generation.
As electricity demand rises, companies across industry and infrastructure are electrifying operations and cutting emissions, often in locations where grid connections are limited or unavailable. This is increasing demand for flexible power solutions that can perform reliably acrossa wide range of operating conditions, from remote sites to grid-connected environments.
Addressing these requirements calls for power solutions that go beyond single technologies, supported by robust system expertise and integration capabilities. Designed for standalone or grid-connected operation, Hitachi Energy's HyFlex Compact combines hydrogen fuel cells, batteries, power electronics, cooling, and auxiliaries in a single, portable enclosure, all managed by an optimized control system. The system converts hydrogen into clean electricity using fuel cells, producing power, heat, and water with no harmful emissions.
With optional AC and DC input modules, Hyflex Compact can operate as a mobile microgrid, connecting multiple energy assets, providing stable AC power whenever and wherever it is needed. This enables more efficient operation and reduces reliance on hydrogen when additional power sources are available.
"The energy system is being asked to deliver more electricity, with lower emissions and higher resilience, often in places where the grid was never designed for today's demands," said Marco Berardi, Head of Grid & Power Quality Solutions and Service at Hitachi Energy. "HyFlex Compact brings together different technologies through system integration expertise to support a secure electricity supply as energy systems evolve, while helping companies move toward lower emission power."
HyFlex Compact is suitable for applications across a wide range of operating environments, from construction sites and temporary infrastructure such as events and festivals to electric vehicle charging, mining operations, remote industrial sites, critical infrastructure, and hard-to-abate operating environments.
The introduction of the flexible power hub marks an evolutionary step, building on Hitachi Energy's earlier HyFlex developments. Initial pilots explored hydrogen-to-power applications and provided valuable insight into integrating fuel cells, power electronics, and control systems in real-world operating environments1.
Hitachi Energy continues to bring flexible, low-emission solutions to market, underpinned by its expertise in power electronics and system integration. Recent investments in power electronics capabilities, including the inauguration of the Grid & Power Quality Solutions and Service Test Center in Vasteras, Sweden, and the announcement of a new Power Electronics Center of Competence in the United States*1, underscore the company's focus on strengthening the technologies needed to support secure, affordable, sustainable and resilient electricity systems.*1 Hitachi Energy expands its U.S. footprint with $10 million USD investment in North Carolina to meet surging electricity demand
Some of HyFlex pilot projects
1. Hitachi Energy and Air Products pioneer zero-emission construction site in the Netherlands
2. Hitachi Energy's pioneers HyFlex hydrogen-powered generator with shore power system for ships at berth
3. Hitachi Energy enables decarbonization of construction site in Sweden

UPPSALA, SE / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / Biovica International (STO:BIOVIC-B)(STO:BIOVIC.B)(FRA:9II) - Biovica, specializing in blood-based cancer monitoring, today announced new data published in the European Journal of Cancer showing that DiviTumTKa can capture early, treatment-specific biological response in patients with endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2− metastatic breast cancer.
The analysis included 555 patients from the phase III GEICAM/2013-02 PEARL trial and used Biovica's FDA 510(k)-cleared DiviTum TKa assay. Patients were randomized to receive either targeted therapy (ET + palbociclib) or chemotherapy (capecitabine).
The key new insight is that TKa did not behave the same way across treatments. Instead, early TKa changes reflected how each therapy affected tumor biology - increasing in patients who benefited from capecitabine, an oral chemotherapy, while confirming previous findings that effective CDK4/6-based treatment is associated with early TKa suppression.
The authors also highlight that TKa provides unique information that may complement ctDNA. While ctDNA provides important genomic information about tumor mutations and clonal evolution, TKa provides a functional, real-time readout of tumor proliferation and biological treatment activity. In simple terms, ctDNA can help show what genetic changes are present, while TKa can help show what the cancer is doing during treatment.
"This analysis is part of GEICAM's commitment to advancing translational research with a real impact on clinical practice. TKa is a robust blood-based marker that makes it possible to monitor tumor activity in real time. Our study shows that its early changes, just 15 days after treatment begins, very clearly predict which patients are responding. It is a tool that can help us better understand treatment response and move toward increasingly personalized care in metastatic breast cancer," says Dr. Ángel Guerrero Zotano, one of the researchers involved in this study and member of GEICAM's Board of Directors.
" What makes these findings particularly compelling is that TKa doesn't just confirm response - it differentiates it. The marker behaves distinctly depending on how a therapy works biologically, which means clinicians get a real-time functional signal that genomic tools simply cannot provide. As oncology accelerates toward truly personalized treatment, we believe DiviTum TKa is becoming an essential part of that picture - and data of this quality, at this scale, strengthens our confidence in the path ahead," says Theis Kipling, CEO of Biovica.
Biovica - Treatment decisions with greater confidence
Biovica develops and commercializes blood-based biomarker assays that help oncologists monitor cancer progression. Biovica's assay, DiviTum® TKa, measures cell proliferation by detecting the TKa biomarker in the bloodstream. The assay has demonstrated its ability to provide insight to therapy effectiveness in several clinical trials. The first application for the DiviTum® TKa test is treatment monitoring of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Biovica's vision is: "Improved care for cancer patients." Biovica collaborates with world-leading cancer institutes and pharmaceutical companies. DiviTum® TKa has received FDA 510(k) clearance in the US and is CE-marked in the EU. Biovica's shares are traded on the Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market (BIOVIC B). FNCA Sweden AB is the company's Certified Adviser. For more information, please visit: www.biovica.com

The decrease in selling expenses is primarily a result of decreased spending on advertising (64%) and travel (38%).Administrative expenses for three-month period ended March 31st, 2026, decreased to $463,553 from $555,074 for the same period in 2025, a 16% decrease. The decrease in administrative expenses is primarily a result of decreased spending on insurance (20%) and professional fees (45%). Net research and development expenses for the three-month period ended March 31st, 2026, decreased to $564,724 from $877,670 for the same period in 2025, a 36% decrease. The decrease in research and development expenses is attributed to a decrease in costs for Study II patient enrollment and treatment, as the clinical study reaches completion. Research and development expenses represented 52% of the Company's operating expenses and represent investment into the research and development of the Company's Drug Division.The net loss for the three-month period ended March 31st, 2026, was $1,031,785, which included $172,118 of net non-cash expenses (i.e.: amortization, stock-based compensation expense). This compared to a net loss for the same period in 2025 of $1,471,250, which included $254,523 of net non-cash expenses. The Drug Division represented $803,352 (78%) of this loss. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributed to decreased spending on research and development expenses in Study II, as the clinical study reaches completion. Operational Highlights:
Collaborative Clinical Development Agreement
On January 12th, 2026, the Company announced that it had entered into a collaborative clinical development agreement dated January 9th, 2026 with Ferring Pharmaceuticals, expanding the Company's existing Phase II NMIBC clinical program (NCT03945162) through the addition of a new cohort evaluating Ruvidar® (TLD-1433) in combination with Adstiladrin® (nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg) for adult patients diagnosed with high-risk Bacillus Calmette-Guérin ("BCG")-Unresponsive Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer ("NMIBC") Carcinoma In-Situ ("CIS") with or without papillary disease (±Ta/T1) ("Study II"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will remain the sponsor of the study, with both parties providing clinical oversight through a joint development committee. The new cohort is expected to be enrolled and treated initially in the United States and, subject to written agreement, may expand into Canada or other jurisdictions.
Study II Interim Clinical Data
Cohort 1
Theralase® has completed enrollment in Study II, with the Clinical Study Sites ("CSSs") enrolling and providing the primary Study Procedure to 92 patients. Additional patients may be enrolled, until all CSSs have been closed to enrollment.
According to the clinical study design, a patient is considered to have completed Study II, if they received the Study Procedure and have been assessed by the Principal Investigator ("PI") for up to 15 months or they have been prematurely removed from the clinical study by the PI for failure to respond or failure to comply with the clinical study design.
According to this definition, 82 patients have completed Study II (with 10 patients on study pending clinical data), resulting in the following interim clinical data in support of the Study II endpoints:
A total of 92 patients have been enrolled and treated in the study. Of these patients, 81% were ≥ 65 years of age, 81% male and 83% white. Tumour stage was distributed as follows: pure 81% CIS; 12% CIS + T1; and 7% CIS + Ta. 98% were classified as BCG-Unresponsive with 2% BCG-Intolerant. The median number of BCG instillations was 15.5.
As of May 29th, 2026, 89 patients have been assessed for response outcomes, evaluable for the primary endpoint analysis.
Primary Endpoint Performance (Complete Response at any Point in Time)
The primary endpoint of Study II is the achievement of Complete Response ("CR") at any point in time following administration of the Study Procedure. Interim analysis demonstrates that 65.2% (58 out of 89) evaluable patients achieved CR.
Primary Endpoint Performance (CR at any Point in Time)

Approximately, 2 out of 3 patients diagnosed with BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC CIS (with or without Ta/T1) achieved a CR following treatment with the Theralase® Study Procedure.
Secondary Endpoint Performance (Duration of CR - 12 Months)
The secondary endpoint evaluates the sustainability of CR at 12 months, after initial CR determination (450 days post-treatment). Among patients evaluable for durability of response, 40.4% (21 of 52 evaluable patients) maintained a CR at 450 days.
The tertiary endpoint is defined as patients who have a Serious Adverse Event ("SAE") ≥ 4 directly caused by the Study Drug or Study Device, which did not resolve within 450 days. Theralase® and the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board believes all SAEs reported to date are unrelated or unlikely related to the Study Drug or Study Device.
The tertiary endpoint assesses the safety profile of the Study Procedure.
Note: A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: Is serious or life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or results in death.Treatment Emergent Adverse Events ("TEAEs") were noted, but did not meet the SAE criteria. TEAEs included urinary frequency (65%), hematuria (62.5%) and urinary urgency (53.8%), which resolved within 1 month of treatment.
There have been 24 SAEs reported: 1 x Grade I, 3 x Grade II, 13 x Grade III, 5 x Grade IV (all resolved between 1 to 82 days) and 2 x Grade V (Unlikely Related to the Study Drug, Study Device or Study Procedure). A high majority of SAEs were not treatment related and none were directly related to the Study Drug or Study Device.
Patients who have completed the study were followed for up to 3 years after initial treatment at extended time points.

Note: These clinical results are interim in nature. Study II remains ongoing. Additional clinical data may influence or alter current response trends.Regulatory Pathway, Commercialization Strategy and FDA Guidance
If approved by Health Canada and the FDA, the clinical data collected from Study II represents a transformative therapeutic option for patients diagnosed with BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC CIS, who would otherwise face radical cystectomy (surgical removal of the bladder). The Theralase® procedure has demonstrated a robust CR and sustained durability of that response, with the majority of patients receiving only a single procedure.
Following the completion of patient follow-up and final clinical data analysis, Theralase® intends to submit a New Drug Application ("NDA") to Health Canada and the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in 3Q2026, under a rolling review, with regulatory decisions anticipated in 1H2027.
Cohort 2
Theralase®, in conjunction with Ferring Pharmaceutical, subject to FDA approval, is preparing to launch a combinational clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of combining light-activated Ruvidar® with Adstiladrin.
It is anticipated that the complementary mechanisms of action (Ruvidar® targets bladder cancer cells directly, Adstiladrin® targets health bladder cells to produce Interferon to stimulate the innate and adaptive immune system) will provide a strong additive effect in the treatment of patients being treated for BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC CIS.
In the procedure, patients will be treated with Ruvidar® (1 hour of drug instillation, approximately 1 hour of light activation), then at another visit, they will be treated with Adstiladrin® (1 hour procedure), both in outpatient procedures. Under the clinical protocol, the patient may receive up to 4 treatments of Adstiladrin®.
The presiding uro-oncologist will have the option to deliver an additional re-induction Study Procedure, if the patient recurs.
The patient will be followed for 15 months after initial Study Procedure and up to 3 years for post-study follow-up.
Commercialization and Strategic Partnerships
In parallel with the finalization of Study II, Theralase® is actively pursuing commercialization opportunities and strategic partnerships to support the global marketing and distribution of Ruvidar®. The Company is interested in engaging in discussions with pharmaceutical companies across multiple geographic regions regarding:
Licensing arrangements for Ruvidar® in the treatment of BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC CIS in various geographic territoriesCollaborative clinical research initiatives focused on the application of light-activated Ruvidar® for broader NMIBC indicationsCollaborative clinical research combining Ruvidar®, with other FDA-approved drugs to enhance treatment efficacyAbout Study II:
Study II utilizes the therapeutic dose of the patented drug, Ruvidar® (TLD-1433) activated by the patented study device, the TLC-3200 Medical Laser System. Study II has enrolled and treated 92 BCG-Unresponsive NMIBC CIS patients in 11 clinical study sites located in Canada and the United States.

Third quarter sales reflect the impact of the continued changes in the global geopolitical landscape that has temporarily impacted outbound shipments from the USA to the Middle East distribution partners
Third quarter sales and year-to-date sales growth of Dream Water® Canada E-commerce of 16% and 13% respectively offset by a decline in Dream Water® Canada Retail of 15% and 6% respectively compared to same periods last year
Third quarter sales and year-to-date sales growth of LivRelief™ E-commerce of 60% and 32% respectively offset by a decline in LivRelief™ Retail of 30% and 27% respectively compared to same periods last year
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2026) - Delivra Health Brands Inc. (TSXV: DHB) (OTCQB: DHBUF) ("Delivra Health" or the "Company"), a consumer packaged goods company uniquely positioned in the health and wellness sector, is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026. The Delivra Health portfolio features innovative brands Dream Water® and LivRelief™, which deliver relief from common health issues such as sleeplessness, chronic pain and anxiety.
The Company's quarterly and year-to-date revenue has been mainly impacted by a reduction in its sales from the USA to its distribution partners in the Middle East. The global geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, impacted the flow and sales of the Company's Dream Water® product to its distributors and partners, and accounts approximately for the quarterly and year-to-date differences in sales compared to the prior year.
In addition to the impact on sales, some of the Company's product ingredients simultaneously experienced a price increase. The Company anticipates shipping and delivery to this region to resume in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2027, with new order commitments and growth plans from its international partners to restore sales to prior levels to this geopolitical conflict. As a continuation from the prior quarter, the Company continues to see encouraging momentum in its targeted e-commerce strategy and continued growth within the Dream Water® brand. Year-to-date e-commerce sales increased 13% for Dream Water® Canada and 32% for LivRelief™, reflecting strong consumer engagement and repeat purchasing behavior in the overall North American business.
The Company has also completed the transition of its licensed LivRelief™ Infused product line-up which will also enhance a revised distribution channel. While these factors have created near-term variability in reported results, underlying consumer demand for the Company's core brands remains solid and is proven in the increase in demand across e-commerce channels. Management of Delivra Health is actively addressing fluctuations in distribution timing and engaging in channel optimization to stabilize and accelerate growth in fiscal 2027.
Management Commentary
"Management continues to monitor the developments of the global conflicts, particularly in the Middle East and is in constant communication with its local partners, planning for sales activity and its innovation pipeline for fiscal 2027 and beyond. Our results this quarter reflect the adverse impact of geopolitical developments on sales, and increase in costs of logistics and input material due to the impact of tariffs on our vendors. At the same time, we are encouraged by the strength of our core business fundamentals, and our e-commerce strategy continues to evolve and grow, and the Company continues to invest in this growing channel," said Gord Davey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delivra Health Brands Inc. "In the next quarter and 2027 fiscal year, the Company will continue to advance its innovation projects, stabilize its LivRelief™ Infused business, stabilize retail ordering patterns and continue to grow its e-commerce business levels to restore prior quarterly sales levels."
Financial Highlights for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Net revenue: In the nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported total net revenue from continued operations of $6,887 compared to $9,012 in same period last year. The $2,125 or 24% decrease in net revenue was mainly due to: (i) the decrease in sales of Dream Water® in the United States of $1,785 as a result of the conflict in the Middle East and a decrease in Dream Water® sales in Canada by $5 and (ii) reduced LivRelief™ OTC sales by $54 and lower activity of LivRelief™ Infused licensed products by $281 due to the transition to a new licensed distribution partner.
Gross profit and gross profit margin: In the nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported year-to-date gross profit of $2,784 and a gross profit margin of 40% as compared to $4,444 and 49% in same period last year. The decrease in gross profit is driven by lower revenue and higher product cost due to price increases by certain vendors and the reduction in gross profit margin was the result of a different product and customer mix in this quarter compared to same quarter last year.
Expenses including SG&A and excluding non-cash items: In the nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported expenses of $4,099 compared to $4,585 in the same period last year, representing an 11% reduction. General and administrative costs were higher year-to-date fiscal 2026 compared with same period last year by $42 or 1% mainly as a result of higher investor relation programs and higher professional and consulting services which were partially offset by lower salaries costs. Prior year fiscal 2025, year-to-date sales and marketing expenses were higher than the same period of fiscal 2026 sales and marketing expenses by $528 or 32% given that the Company released in November 2024 two major marketing campaigns, 'Shush Your Mind' for Dream Water® and 'Quiets Chronic Pain' for LivRelief™.
Adjusted EBITDA(1): For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $(1,262) compared to $(51) in the same period last year. This reduction in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by lower sales volume and lower gross profit as discussed above.
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Net revenue: In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported total net revenue of $1,247 as compared to $3,095 in same period last year. The $1,848 or approximately 60% decrease is attributed to: (i) a $1,803 decline in Dream Water® sales in USA due to a reduction in outgoing shipments to the Middle East as a result of the geopolitical conflict and a $17 reduction in Dream Water® sales in Canada (ii) a $39 reduction in licensed LivRelief™ Infused sales activity, offset by an in increase in LivRelief™ sales by $11 or 5% and this increase was driven by an increase in e-commerce sales by 60%, offset by a decrease in retail sales by 30%.
Gross profit and gross profit margin: In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported gross profit of $311 and a gross profit margin of 25% compared to $1,552 and 50% in same period last year. The decrease in gross profit is mainly driven by lower revenue and higher product cost and the reduction in gross profit margin is mainly driven by changes in customer and product mix in this quarter compared to same quarter last year.
Expenses including SG&A and excluding non-cash items: In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported expenses of $1,261 as compared to $1,437 in the same period last year, representing a 12% decrease. The decrease was mainly driven by lower investments in marketing campaigns and digital marketing programs of $103 or 25% and a reduction in general and administrative costs of $73 or 7% mainly driven by lower costs of insurance, investor relations, and salaries, bonus and benefits expenses partially offset by increased professional and consulting services.
Adjusted EBITDA(1): In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $(949) as compared to $124 in the same period last year. This reduction in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by lower sales volume and lower gross profit as discussed above.

Notes:
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted for share-based compensation, common shares issued for services, fair value effects of accounting for biological assets and inventories, asset impairment and write-downs, discontinued operations and other non-cash items. This is a non-IFRS reporting measure. For a reconciliation of this measure to the nearest IFRS measure, see "Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS measure)" and "Non-IFRS Measures" in the Q3 2026 MD&A.

Non-IFRS Measures, Reconciliation and Discussion
This press release contains references to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the Company's profit/loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and adjusted for share-based compensation, common shares issued for services, fair value effects of accounting for biological assets and inventories, asset impairment and write-downs, discontinued operations and other non-cash items, and is a non-IFRS measure.
This measure can be used to analyze and compare profitability among companies and industries, as it eliminates the effects of financing and capital expenditures. It is often used in valuation ratios and can be compared to enterprise value and revenue. This measure does not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
There are no comparable IFRS financial measures presented in Delivra Health's financial statements. Reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS measure are presented in the Company's management discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 (the "Q3 2026 MD&A"). This non-IFRS financial measure is presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believes that the non-IFRS financial measure presented provides additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. The Company believes that the supplemental measure provides information which is useful to shareholders and investors in understanding the Company's performance and may assist in the evaluation of the Company's business relative to that of its peers.
The non-IFRS financial measure should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with the IFRS financial measures presented in the Company's financial statements. For more information, please see "Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS measure)" and "Non-IFRS Measures" in the Q3 2026 MD&A, which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
