RCI Hospitality NASDAQ: RICK reported higher third-quarter revenue, earnings and adjusted EBITDA, while management emphasized debt reduction, a turnaround effort at its Bombshells sports-bar business and plans to resume more meaningful stock repurchases after lowering leverage.

Interim CFO Albert Molina said total revenue increased 4% from a year earlier to $73.9 million. Net income attributable to RCI shareholders rose 57% to $6.4 million from $4.1 million, while GAAP earnings per share increased 80%. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.90, up 17% year over year.

Get RCI Hospitality alerts:

Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% year over year and 9% sequentially to $16.9 million. Molina said free cash flow margin improved for a second consecutive quarter to 14%, while adjusted EBITDA margin improved for a third straight quarter to 23%.

Nightclubs Set Revenue Record; Bombshells Profitability Improves The company’s Nightclubs segment generated record revenue of $63 million, up 1% from the prior-year quarter. Four newly acquired, opened or reformatted clubs contributed $4 million in revenue, while 52 same-store clubs generated $58.5 million. Those gains more than offset $1.2 million in revenue from four clubs that were closed after the prior-year period.

Within the Nightclubs segment, service revenue increased 7.6%, while food, merchandise and other revenue declined 1.4% and alcoholic beverage revenue fell 4.2%.

Nightclubs operating income increased to $19.6 million from $17.9 million, with operating margin rising to 31.2% from 28.6%. On a non-GAAP basis, segment operating income was $20.2 million, compared with $20.8 million a year earlier, and the non-GAAP operating margin was 32.1%.

Bombshells revenue rose 25.4% to $10.8 million. Three new locations contributed $2.6 million, while nine same-store locations generated $8.2 million. Alcoholic beverage revenue increased 33.6%, and food and other revenue increased 16.6%.

Bombshells operating income rose to $759,000 from $67,000, producing a 7% operating margin compared with 0.8% a year earlier. Non-GAAP operating income was $801,000, compared with $80,000 in the prior-year quarter.

Founder and Head of Mergers and Acquisitions Eric Langan attributed the improvement to returning Bombshells to its original bar-focused concept. He said the company hired a new Bombshells director of operations with nightclub experience, while retaining food-focused personnel to maintain food quality.

“We’ve brought in a new director of operations for Bombshells, who is a club guy,” Langan said. “He understands fun. He understands creating the party, not joining the party.”

Langan said some locations shifted from approximately a 50-50 food-and-beverage sales mix to roughly 62% to 64% beverage sales while also growing food revenue. He said the company began testing operational changes at a store in February, expanded them to three stores in March and rolled them out across all 11 locations by mid-April.

Debt Paydowns and Capital Allocation RCI ended the quarter with $26.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, down by less than $500,000 from March 31. During the quarter, the company paid down $8.6 million of debt and repurchased $1 million of shares, Molina said.

Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow each declined year over year, primarily because the company paid more outstanding payables than in the prior-year quarter. However, operating cash flow increased 14% sequentially and free cash flow increased 26% sequentially.

The company’s weighted average interest rate was 7.05%, and total occupancy cost declined sequentially to 8.3%. Debt to trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA was 4.3 times, or 3.7 times excluding a fourth-quarter legal accrual, according to Molina.

Langan said management became uncomfortable with leverage around 4.17 times debt to EBITDA and temporarily slowed repurchases to focus on debt reduction and prepare for potential acquisitions. He said the company paid down $16 million of debt over the prior six months and expects another approximately $8 million of debt reduction during the current quarter.

He said management hopes to return to the stock-buyback market around the beginning of October, while continuing to evaluate larger-market acquisitions that it believes could be accretive.

RCI expects its line of credit to be reduced to approximately $100,000 after August, according to Langan. The company is working to sell or lease non-income-producing properties and expects potential property-sale proceeds to be used for debt repayment. Langan said RCI may sell a small number of clubs in smaller markets, while remaining focused on larger markets and larger potential acquisitions. Development and Legal Matters Langan said construction began March 4 on the Baby Dolls West Fort Worth location, which he expects could open around May 1. Separately, redevelopment of a former Dallas club that burned down remains delayed by replating and sewer-related issues, and Langan said construction there could take nine months once it begins.

During the call, the company said it could not discuss its legal situation in New York beyond reiterating that RCI, the individuals involved and three clubs have pleaded not guilty to all charges and are taking actions to defend themselves.

What's Next for Rogers Communication?While Rogers Communication has underperformed 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 Rogers Communication was unfavorable. 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 #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Strategic Highlights 

The five objectives set out below guide our work and decision-making as we further improve our operational execution and make well-timed investments to grow our core businesses and deliver increased shareholder value. Below are some highlights for the quarter.

Be the growth leader in our industry

Grew total service revenue by 8% and adjusted EBITDA by 3%.Generated strong free cash flow of $982 million and cash flow from operating activities of $1,517 million. Update on sports and entertainment assets
On July 6, 2026, we announced we had entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 25% ownership interest in MLSE from Kilmer Sports Inc. for $4.35 billion in cash (MLSE minority interest acquisition), which we intend to fund through existing and new short-term credit facilities. Upon completion of this transaction, we will own 100% of MLSE. This transaction is subject to league approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter. As a result of this agreement, we have recognized a loss related to the MLSE put liability (see "Review of Consolidated Performance" for more information).

MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto FC (MLS), Toronto Argonauts (CFL), various minor league teams, and associated real estate holdings, including Scotiabank Arena. MLSE also holds interests in certain entities that are complementary to its sports and events businesses. Following completion of this transaction, MLSE will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Rogers, further enhancing our sports and entertainment portfolio, which also includes the Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre, and Sportsnet.

Following the close of the above transaction, we intend to pursue the sale of a minority interest in our consolidated sports, media, and entertainment assets (Rogers Sports) to third-party investors over the next year. We expect this will unlock significant value for Rogers.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue
Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 8% this quarter, primarily as a result of revenue growth in Media and Cable.

Wireless service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year as the impact of the cumulative addition of new customers was offset by a decline in mobile phone ARPU. Wireless equipment revenue increased by 2%, primarily as a result of a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices.

Cable service revenue increased by 1% this quarter, primarily as a result of retail Internet subscriber growth and base management activities. Excluding the impact of the sale of our customer-facing data centre business in 2025, Cable service revenue would have increased by 2% this quarter.

Media revenue increased by 53% this quarter, primarily as a result of revenue from MLSE following the July 1, 2025 closing of the MLSE Transaction.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 3% this quarter, primarily as a result of EBITDA growth in Media, and our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 180 basis points.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%, primarily as a result of higher equipment margins. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 66%, up 70 basis points.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 1% due to the flow-through impact of higher revenue, as discussed above. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 58%, up 10 basis points. Excluding the impact of the sale of our customer-facing data centre business in 2025, Cable adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 2% this quarter.

Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $61 million this quarter, primarily due to the aforementioned revenue impacts and associated costs.

Net loss and adjusted net income
There was a net loss of $665 million this quarter as a result of the $1,034 million non-cash loss on revaluation of the MLSE put liability (see "Update on sports and entertainment assets"). Adjusted net income this quarter was in line with the prior year, as higher adjusted EBITDA was offset by higher depreciation and amortization and higher finance costs.

Cash flow, available liquidity, and returns to shareholders
This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,517 million (2025 - $1,596 million), which decreased as a result of higher net investment in net operating assets and liabilities partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow of $982 million (2025 - $925 million), which increased primarily as a result of lower capital expenditures and higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by distributions to non-controlling interests. Our free cash flow generation is expected to further strengthen our balance sheet over time through accelerated repayment of debt.

As at June 30, 2026, we had $6.1 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2025 - $5.9 billion), reflecting $1.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $4.4 billion available under our bank and other credit facilities.

Our debt leverage ratio2 was 3.8 as at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 4.0, or 3.92 on an adjusted basis to include trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the trailing 12-month period). See "Financial Condition" for more information.

We also returned $270 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on July 21, 2026.

Service revenue
Service revenue this quarter and year to date were in line with the prior year as the cumulative addition of new customers was offset by a decline in mobile phone ARPU as a result of the cumulative impact of competitive intensity.

The decreases in postpaid gross and net additions this quarter were a result of the overall slowing of population growth in Canada. The increases in postpaid gross and net additions year to date were a result of sales execution in a highly promotional and competitive Canadian market in the first quarter of 2026.

Equipment revenue
The 2% increase in equipment revenue this quarter and 5% increase year to date were primarily a result of:

a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices; partially offset bya decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices. The increase year to date was also affected by higher device upgrades by existing customers.

Operating costs
Cost of equipment

The 5% decrease in the cost of equipment this quarter and 1% increase year to date were a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

Other operating costs

The 2% increase in other operating costs this quarter and 1% increase year to date were a result of:

costs associated with our new satellite-to-mobile product offering; andhigher costs associated with marketing and advertising initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA
The 1% increases in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

Service revenue
The 1% increases in service revenue this quarter and year to date were a result of:

 retail Internet subscriber growth; andbase management activities, including adjustments to subscriber rates and bundled service offerings; partially offset bydeclines in our Home Phone and Video subscriber bases. Excluding the impact of the sale of our customer-facing data centre business in 2025, Cable service revenue would have increased by 2% this quarter and year to date.

Operating costs
The 1% increase in operating costs this quarter was a result of:

increased licensing rights associated with changes to our bundled service offerings; partially offset byother efficiency and productivity initiatives. Operating costs for the year to date were stable.

Adjusted EBITDA
The 1% increases in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and year to date were a result of the service revenue and expense changes discussed above. Excluding the impact of the sale of our customer-facing data centre business in 2025, Cable adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 2% this quarter and year to date.

The 53% increase in revenue this quarter and 65% increase year to date were a result of:

approximately $0.31 billion and $0.79 billion in revenue from the consolidation of MLSE beginning in the second half of 2025, respectively; andexcluding the consolidation of MLSE, organic growth of 13% and 6%, respectively, substantially reflects higher Toronto Blue Jays revenue, primarily driven by higher game day attendance and sponsorships. Higher subscriber revenue from the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels substantially offset lower advertising revenue, primarily as a result of lower participation by Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs and ongoing softness in media advertising. Operating costs
The $337 million (45%) increase in operating costs this quarter and $720 million (53%) increase year to date were a result of:

approximately $0.23 billion and $0.64 billion of increased costs from the consolidation of MLSE; andthe combined effect of higher player salaries and other game day costs at the Toronto Blue Jays and higher programming costs. Adjusted EBITDA
The increases in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

2 Capital intensity is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q2 2026 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at www.sedarplus.ca.

We continue to (i) expand the reach and capacity of our 5G network across the country and (ii) invest in fibre deployments, including fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), in our cable network as we expand our network footprint to reach more homes and businesses, including in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. These investments are expected to strengthen network resilience and stability and help us bridge the digital divide by expanding our network further into rural and underserved areas through participation in various programs and projects.

In April 2026, we updated our 2026 capital expenditure guidance range (see "Financial Guidance") as a direct reflection of the ongoing impacts from heightened competitive intensity and recent regulatory decisions. Our strategic priorities remain unchanged and our current capital expenditure guidance range continues to support these priorities. We expect to achieve our guidance range through (i) ongoing investments progressing at a slower pace, (ii) the deferral and/or cancellation of certain projects, and (iii) lower capital costs for projects, most predominantly affecting Wireless and Cable.

Wireless
In addition to the above, the decreases in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter and year to date were due to the impact of $90 million of proceeds received on the sale of certain network assets. We continued to expand and enhance our wireless network through investments in network development and 5G deployment. We are actively deploying advanced spectrum assets, including the ongoing rollout of 3500 MHz spectrum and 3800 MHz spectrum. These investments build on our existing 5G infrastructure in the 600 MHz spectrum band, enabling greater speed, lower latency, and improved reliability for customers across urban and rural areas.

Cable
In addition to the above, the decreases in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter and year to date were a result of customers increasingly choosing to self-install new products. This quarter, we also sold certain cable network assets for $46 million (2025 - $47 million), the proceeds from which reduced capital expenditures. We are growing our network through expanded fibre deployments to increase our FTTH distribution and to extend our service footprint. At the same time, we are enhancing our network by upgrading our DOCSIS 3.1 platform as we transition to DOCSIS 4.0 to improve network resilience, stability, and capacity while delivering faster speeds. As part of this upgrade, we are rolling out mid-split technology (which has a greater number of frequencies than older technology and also allocates a greater number of frequencies to uploading data) in Ontario and Eastern Canada, significantly increasing upload speeds. These advancements leverage the latest technologies to provide greater bandwidth, improved performance, and an enhanced customer experience as we advance our connected home roadmap.

Media
The increases in capital expenditures in Media this quarter and year to date primarily reflect the continued modernization of Rogers Centre and Scotiabank Arena.

Capital intensity
Capital intensity decreased this quarter and year to date as a result of the revenue growth and capital expenditure changes discussed above.

The restructuring, acquisition and other costs excluding Shaw Transaction integration-related costs in the second quarters of 2025 and 2026 primarily include severance and other departure-related costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base, specifically including $120 million arising from a voluntary departure program in 2026. Year to date, we also incurred costs associated with certain litigation. In 2025, these costs also included costs related to the network transaction, an unfavourable regulatory decision related to retransmission of distant signals, and real estate rationalization programs.

The Shaw Transaction integration-related costs in 2025 and 2026 consisted of incremental costs supporting integration activities related to the Shaw Transaction.

Regulatory Developments

See "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2025 Annual MD&A for a discussion of the significant regulations that affected our operations as at March 6, 2026. The following are the relevant developments since that date.

Prohibition of Fees
On March 12, 2026, the Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2026‑43, Prohibition of fees that are a barrier to switching cellphone and Internet plans, regarding fees incurred as a result of activating or modifying telecommunications service plans. The policy amends both the Internet Code and the Wireless Code to add a new definition of "activation or modification fee", which amendments became effective on June 12, 2026. On June 30, 2026, the CRTC issued Notice of Consultation CRTC 2026-155, Show cause and call for comments – Compliance with the prohibition of fees that are a barrier to switching cellphone and Internet plans, requiring each of Rogers, Bell, and Telus Corporation to show cause why certain fees charged by those carriers that the CRTC believes may be in contravention of Telecom Regulatory Policy 2026-43 are not in violation of sections 24 and 27.04 of the Telecommunications Act and Telecom Regulatory Policy 2026-43. Submissions addressing the issues are due to the CRTC by July 30, 2026.

CRTC Codes of Conduct
On April 13, 2026, in Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2026-67, Enhancing customer notifications, the CRTC amended the Wireless Code and the Internet Code to set out what information must be included in notices sent to customers before the end of their contract and to require notifications to customers before the end of a time-limited discount or promotion and when their data usage reaches $50 when roaming internationally. The new requirements will come into effect on April 13, 2027.

Online Streaming Act
On May 21, 2026, the CRTC issued Broadcasting Regulatory Policies CRTC 2026-95 and 2026-96, which introduced (i) a new financial contribution requirement of 1.55% of annual Canadian broadcasting revenues to support a new Services of Exceptional Importance Fund (SEIF) applicable to all broadcasting ownership groups with annual revenues of at least $100 million and (ii) a new Canadian Programming Expenditures (CPE) framework. On June 3, 2026, the Government of Canada directed the CRTC to review its decision to regulate online streamers and Canadian broadcasters and stated it would be issuing new policy directions to the CRTC requiring it to adjust its implementation of the Online Streaming Act.

Updates to Risks and Uncertainties

See "Risk Management" and "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2025 Annual MD&A for a discussion of the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results as at March 6, 2026, which should be reviewed in conjunction with this earnings release. The following updates and supplements those risks and uncertainties.

Monetization of sports, media, and entertainment assets
We intend to sell a minority interest in Rogers Sports after obtaining a 100% ownership interest in MLSE (see "Update on sports and entertainment assets"). While we believe there is a significant market for these assets, there is no guarantee we will be successful in selling a minority interest, whether at the expected investment amount, within the anticipated timing, or at all. Such a sale would also require approval from the various leagues governing our professional sports teams, which is not guaranteed. We may not proceed with, or complete, any sale of a minority interest in Rogers Sports, whether at the expected investment amount, within the anticipated timing, or at all, due to alternative opportunities or requirements, general economic and market conditions, or other internal or external considerations.

Sports franchises
After obtaining a 100% ownership interest in MLSE (see "Update on sports and entertainment assets"), our exposure to risks associated with owning and operating sports franchises will increase.

Financial Guidance

On April 22, 2026, concurrently with the release of our first quarter 2026 results, we updated our consolidated guidance ranges for select full-year 2026 financial metrics that were originally provided on January 29, 2026 as a direct reflection of the ongoing impacts from heightened competitive intensity and recent regulatory decisions.

They include:

subscriber counts; Wireless;Cable; andhomes passed (Cable); Wireless subscriber churn (churn);Wireless mobile phone average revenue per user
(ARPU); Cable average revenue per account (ARPA);Cable customer relationships;Cable market penetration (penetration);capital intensity; andtotal service revenue. Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Rogers Communication (RCI - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 22, 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 communications and media company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.79 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -3.7%.

Revenues are expected to be $4.1 billion, up 8.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.67% 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 Rogers Communication?For Rogers Communication, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.25%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Rogers Communication will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. 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 Rogers Communication would post earnings of $0.73 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.74, delivering a surprise of +1.37%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four 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.

Rogers Communication 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.

Snap-on is witnessing robust business trends, supported by the increasing complexity of modern vehicles. New models entering the market feature advanced drivetrains, evolving motor configurations and sophisticated electrical architectures that integrate a neural network of sensors, enabling driver-assisted autonomy. It remains focused on strengthening customer connections and driving innovation. Management continues to expect a resilient vehicle repair market, as the growing technological complexity of vehicles sustains demand for specialized tools, diagnostics and repair solutions.

However, Snap-on has been witnessing higher operating expenses for a while. Operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, came in at 29.6%, up 20 basis points, primarily owing to higher personnel costs and technology investments, partly offset by favorable sale volumes. SNA continues to invest in strengthening its core technology infrastructure while expanding the use of large language models across key business functions. Such costs, along with tariff pressures, might add up to extra costs and hurt overall profits.

Nevertheless, Snap-on is well-positioned, supported by its innovative hardware offerings, particularly its proprietary and comprehensive database. The company’s specialty torque business within the Commercial & Industrial Group continues to progress steadily. The company is also benefiting from a robust pipeline of new products. Management expects SNA’s markets and operations to have considerable resilience against the uncertainties of the operating landscape. It anticipates continued progress by leveraging capabilities in the automotive repair arena, as well as expanding its customer base in automotive repair and across geographies, including critical industries.

Believe it or not, earnings season is once again upon us, and some crucial large-cap stocks like Tesla, American Express, and Intel already reported results this week.

However, the earnings party began early for the five companies we'll be discussing today, which handily beat top- and bottom-line projections.

And despite the outsized pop each company's stock received following its earnings report, there's fundamental or technical evidence that the momentum underlying the moves has the strength to carry into the second half of 2026.

Here are the five “earnings heroes” with more room to run.

GE Verona Inc.The standout number remains the backlog; management announced a 2027 backlog of more than $200 billion, a figure it didn't expect to reach until 2028. The Electrification backlog stands at $42 billion, and the company booked more than $2.4 billion in data center equipment orders in Q1 2026. The stock received seven price target boosts following the earnings release, including a new Street-high target of $1,400 from Baird.

Intuitive Surgical Inc.But ISRG's fortunes could be changing: the company had a fabulous Q1 2026, notching a 30% upside surprise on EPS and 23% YOY revenue growth. The company also expects 15% growth in procedures done using the Da Vinci machine after placing 431 new units into service in 2025.

Despite its near-monopoly, Intuitive Surgical is in the midst of a massive drawdown, losing more than 15% YTD. The post-earnings pop finally took shares back above the 50-day moving average, and there's hope this rally sticks, considering the bullish activity on the RSI and MACD. Intuitive Surgical has the earnings tailwinds; now it needs technical momentum to finally break out of this rut, and it looks like it’s about to get it.

Masco Corp.MAS shares bottomed out in March before the earnings release, but an uptrending MACD spotted the change in investor behavior right near the low. Both the MACD and RSI had been trending upward since the bottom formed, and the breakout has now taken the share price back above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. One area of concern: the RSI is approaching extreme overbought territory, which could signal that a pullback is on the horizon.

However, BSX is showing signs of a reversal of this downswing. The company had a modest Q1 2026 EPS and revenue beat, and sales grew by more than 11% in the period. And despite lowering its organic growth guidance projections for 2026, the stock rallied through its long-term downtrend line to put up its best performance in months.

The RSI and MACD also hint at bullish energy. The MACD formed a crucial bullish cross more than two months ago in February, and the RSI appears to be finally taking a meaningful bounce above the Oversold threshold. If the drawdown is halted here, the stock has lost nearly 40% of its value since September 2025, which gives brave investors plenty of upside.

Rogers Communications Inc.RCI shares jumped 13.6% following the report, shaking off the downward momentum and retaking the 200-day moving average. The secondary indicators are also turning bullish, and a move back above the 50-day moving average could likely re-ignite the buying pressure.
