Better still, RingCentral is growing more profitable as it integrates AI throughout its organization. Its adjusted operating margin improved to 23.4% from 22.5% in the year-ago quarter. That contributed to a 15% jump in adjusted earnings per share to $1.22.
RingCentral, in turn, is becoming a cash-generating machine. The company's operating and free cash flow climbed 23.3% and 24.8%, respectively, to $206 million and $180 million. That amounted to an impressive free cash flow margin of 27.4%.
This robust cash generation enabled RingCentral to boost its recently initiated quarterly dividend by 67% to $0.125 per share.
Raised guidance These encouraging results also prompted RingCentral to lift its full-year financial forecast. Management now expects adjusted earnings per share of $4.96 to $5.10 and free cash flow of $615 million to $625 million in 2026.
"RingCentral is in a unique position, with a strong recurring core business, a widening moat, increasing momentum from AI-led products, and a financial profile that continues to strengthen," chief financial officer Vaibhav Agarwal said.

Is RNG Overvalued or Undervalued? The current price of RingCentral Inc RNG at $48.31 is significantly above the GF Value™ estimate of $38.53, which means the stock is currently 25.4% overvalued. This overvaluation presents a potential risk for current shareholders, as the price may need to adjust to align more closely with its intrinsic value. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.
The GF Valuation label indicates that RingCentral is "Modestly Overvalued," suggesting that while the stock has seen substantial price growth recently, caution is warranted regarding its sustainability. Investors should consider whether the current price accurately reflects the company’s future growth potential and profitability.

Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 38.6x 57.5x Forward P/E 9.8x N/A Currently, RingCentral's P/E ratio (TTM) of 38.6x is 33% below its 5-year median P/E of 57.5x. Additionally, the forward P/E of 9.8x indicates a more favorable outlook for future earnings. This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict of the stock being overvalued, as the current valuation metrics suggest that while the stock price has increased, it may not be justified by its earnings potential.
What Does RNG's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 73 Financial Strength 4/10 Profitability 4/10 Growth 6/10 Valuation 9/10 Momentum 9/10 The GF Score™ of 73/100 indicates that RingCentral is positioned above average in terms of overall performance potential. The strongest aspect of the score is its Valuation and Momentum ratings, both at 9/10, highlighting the company’s recent price movement and relative valuation compared to its own history. However, the weakest areas are Financial Strength and Profitability, both rated at 4/10, which may indicate underlying concerns about the sustainability of its financial health and profit margins moving forward.
What Are Insiders Doing with RNG Stock? In the last three months, insiders have sold $3.1 million in RingCentral shares, with no reported insider buying during this period. This selling activity may suggest that those with the most intimate knowledge of the company's operations are taking profits or expressing concerns about future performance. The lack of buying may also indicate that insiders do not see sufficient value at the current price levels, which could be a red flag for potential investors.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, RingCentral Inc RNG is currently overvalued. With a significant premium over its intrinsic value, potential investors may want to exercise caution and look for more favorable entry points or evidence of sustainable growth before committing to the stock.

RingCentral’s Cash Flow Hit a Record—And It’s Fueling Bigger ReturnsRingCentral NYSE: RNG reported second-quarter 2026 results that exceeded the high end of its guidance across revenue, operating margin and free cash flow metrics, while management highlighted growing adoption of its artificial intelligence products and announced an increase to the company’s quarterly dividend.
Founder, Chairman and CEO Vlad Shmunis said the company’s performance reflected a multi-year effort to improve profitability and cash generation while repositioning RingCentral around “agentic voice AI.” He said the company is seeking to become an “intelligence layer” where AI agents and human agents work together to manage customer interactions.

It's RingCentral NYSE: RNG You Want In Your 2021 Portfolio, Not Zoom NASDAQ: ZM“We delivered another strong quarter, exceeding the high end of guidance across all key metrics,” Shmunis said. He added that total revenue, subscription revenue, GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP operating margin all surpassed expectations.
Revenue and Profitability Top Guidance CFO Vaibhav Agarwal said total revenue in the quarter was approximately $657 million, up 5.9% year over year. Subscription revenue was approximately $634 million, up 5.8% from the prior year. Both measures came in above the high end of the company’s guidance.
Agarwal said customer trends remained healthy, citing steady new customer additions and monthly net retention above 99%. He said the company’s recurring revenue model continues to be supported by the “mission-critical role” RingCentral’s platform plays for customers.
RingCentral also expanded profitability in the quarter. Subscription gross margin remained above 80%, while non-GAAP operating margin reached 23.4%, up nearly 90 basis points year over year and above guidance. GAAP operating margin was 7.7%, improving by more than 170 basis points from the year-ago period.
Stock-based compensation as a percentage of revenue declined about 150 basis points year over year to 9% in the second quarter. Agarwal said RingCentral remains on track for stock-based compensation to be approximately 9% of revenue in 2026, down 180 basis points from 2025.
Free Cash Flow Outlook Raised, Dividend Increased RingCentral generated $180 million of free cash flow in the quarter, up 25% year over year. Agarwal attributed the increase to operating performance, efficiency gains and working capital improvements, including certain one-time benefits from customer and partner prepayments.
The company raised its full-year free cash flow outlook to a midpoint of $620 million, or more than 23% of revenue. For the full year, RingCentral now expects free cash flow per share of $7.07 to $7.23, up 23% year over year.
Management also announced that RingCentral’s board approved an increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.125 per share. Agarwal said the dividend increase reflects confidence in the company’s cash flow durability and is part of a balanced capital allocation strategy that also includes investment in innovation, debt reduction and share repurchases.
During the quarter, RingCentral reduced overall debt by approximately $85 million and lowered net leverage to 1.5 times. In the first half of 2026, the company reduced gross debt by about $130 million. Management said RingCentral remains on track to reduce gross debt to $1 billion by the end of 2026. Agarwal also noted that the company has no maturities until 2030 and maintains $355 million of undrawn credit capacity.
RingCentral repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares during the quarter for about $94 million. At quarter-end, approximately $326 million remained under the company’s repurchase authorization. Diluted share count declined 6% year over year to roughly 87 million shares.
AI Products Drive Customer Expansion Executives emphasized AI adoption as a key theme of the quarter. Shmunis said annual recurring revenue from customers using at least one of RingCentral’s native paid AI products now represents about 13% of ARR, doubling year over year. He said those customers have net retention “well above 100%” and meaningfully higher average revenue per user than the rest of the customer base.
RingCentral ended the second quarter with more than 16,000 paying AIR, or AI Receptionist, customers, up 400% year over year. ACE, the company’s AI Conversation Expert product, had more than 6,300 customers, growing more than 70% year over year. ARR from AI-led new products grew nearly 60% during the first half of the year, according to Shmunis.
President and COO Kira Makagon said customers accelerated adoption of RingCentral AI during the quarter. She cited VGM Group, a national post-acute healthcare organization, which deployed RingCentral’s AIR, AVA and ACE products on top of RingEX. Makagon said AIR recovered 45% of calls previously lost to abandonment for that customer, AVA eliminated manual note-taking and ACE provided call visibility and coaching.
Makagon said AIR has been enhanced with spam blocking filters and lead capture capabilities that sync with Salesforce, HubSpot and Zoho. Based on a recent customer survey, she said AIR customers reduced missed call rates from an average of 20% to close to zero.
RingCentral’s Customer Engagement Bundle, or CEB, also saw growth. Shmunis said CEB now serves more than 9,600 customers and grew more than 80% sequentially. The bundle adds lightweight contact center features to RingEX, including call queues, shared SMS inboxes and analytics.
Partnerships With NiCE and Avaya Updated RingCentral announced an expanded partnership with NiCE under which NiCE will begin marketing and selling RingEX in combination with CXone, while RingCentral continues to offer NiCE CXone to its customers. Shmunis described the arrangement as a “symmetrical, mutually reinforcing partnership” between the two companies.
In response to an analyst question, Shmunis said the expanded NiCE relationship could give RingCentral access to NiCE’s enterprise customer base, where NiCE has a strong position in contact center software. He said RingCentral Contact Center powered by NiCE has historically been more mid-market by logo count, while NiCE has large enterprise accounts.
RingCentral also said it restructured its relationship with Avaya. Shmunis said RingCentral will remain Avaya’s exclusive multi-tenant cloud UCaaS offering, while existing Avaya Cloud Office customers and partners will transition directly to the RingCentral platform and brand.
Full-Year Guidance Raised For fiscal 2026, RingCentral raised its subscription revenue outlook to $2.55 billion to $2.561 billion, representing growth of 5.1% to 5.5%. Total revenue is now expected to be $2.635 billion to $2.646 billion, representing growth of 4.8% to 5.2%.
The company expects full-year GAAP operating margin of 9% to 9.7%, non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 23.6% to 24%, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $4.96 to $5.10. RingCentral also said it now expects to reach its 20% GAAP operating margin target within two to three years, one year ahead of its prior schedule.
For the third quarter, RingCentral guided for subscription revenue of $643 million to $649 million and total revenue of $664 million to $670 million. The company expects third-quarter GAAP operating margin of 7.2% to 8.6%, non-GAAP operating margin of 23.5% to 24%, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.25 to $1.30.
Management said AI adoption, margin expansion and free cash flow generation remain central to RingCentral’s strategy. “We believe RingCentral is well-positioned to continue compounding shareholder value,” Agarwal said.

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.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
Here is how RingCentral performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

What's Next for RingCentral?While RingCentral 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 RingCentral 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 $1.25 on $662.96 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.91 on $2.63 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, Internet - Software and Services is currently in the top 28% 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.

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.
Zacks Premium also includes 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.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight 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 traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
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 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 +23.94% 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.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, RNG should be on investors' short list.
On July 01, 2026, RingCentral Inc RNG shares rose 5.2%, bringing the current price to $40.99. The stock has experienced a 52-week range between $23.59 and $49.85, indicating significant volatility in its trading history.
GF Value™ verdict: The current price of $40.99 is 6.9% above the GF Value™ of $38.33. GF Score™: With a score of 73/100, RNG is ranked as Above Average. Most notable signal: Insiders sold $3.1 million in shares over the last 3 months, indicating potential concerns about the stock's future performance. Is RNG Overvalued or Undervalued? Based on the current price of $40.99 compared to the GF Value™ of $38.33, RingCentral Inc appears to be overvalued by approximately 6.9%. This overvaluation suggests that the stock may not provide a sufficient margin of safety for new investors. The GF Valuation label indicates that the stock is fairly valued, but the current market price exceeds the intrinsic value calculated by GuruFocus. Investors should be cautious as this overvaluation may pose a risk of price correction if the company's performance does not meet market expectations.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Given the stock's current price is above its calculated intrinsic value, it raises concerns about whether the recent momentum can be sustained in the long term, particularly in light of insider selling activity.
How Does RNG's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 43.6x 62.6x Forward P/E 8.3x N/A Currently, RingCentral's P/E (TTM) is 43.6x, which is significantly lower than its 5-year median P/E of 62.6x. Additionally, the forward P/E stands at 8.3x, indicating a substantial reduction in valuation expectations going forward. This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ assessment that suggests the stock may be overvalued, as the current valuation metrics reflect a decline in investor confidence compared to past performance.
What Does RNG's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 73 Financial Strength 4/10 Profitability 4/10 Growth 6/10 Valuation 9/10 Momentum 9/10 The GF Score™ of 73/100 indicates that RingCentral Inc ranks above average relative to its peers. The strongest area is the Valuation rank, where RNG scored 9/10, suggesting that the stock may appear attractive based on valuation metrics. However, the Financial Strength and Profitability ranks, both at 4/10, highlight potential weaknesses in the company's financial stability and profitability, which may raise concerns for long-term growth.
What Are Insiders Doing with RNG Stock? In the last three months, insiders have sold $3.1 million in RingCentral shares, with no reported buying activity. This pattern of selling may suggest that those closest to the company lack confidence in its near-term prospects or believe that the stock is currently overvalued. Insider selling can often be a red flag for potential investors, as it may indicate that insiders expect lower future performance or wish to take profits at current valuations.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ analysis, RingCentral Inc RNG is currently overvalued with a price of $40.99 compared to the GF Value™ of $38.33. As such, potential investors may need to exercise caution and consider waiting for a more favorable valuation or signs of improved financial performance before making investment decisions.

Oregon’s oldest utility continues to increase the percentage of RNG delivered to customers
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NW Natural, Oregon’s largest gas utility company and one of the state’s oldest businesses, recently filed its annual renewable natural gas report with the Oregon Public Utilities Commission. As part of the filing, NW Natural disclosed its 2025 renewable natural gas (RNG) purchase amount of 3.35%, marking a significant increase over 2024 volumes.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many 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? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see 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 ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow 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.
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.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing 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.

This makes remote working and collaboration easy.
RNG is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 7.3; value investors should take notice.
Five analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.08 to $4.91 per share. RNG also boasts an average earnings surprise of +3.7%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, RNG should be on investors' short list.

Native AI agents added to RingCX workflows giving businesses automated outreach, intelligent handoffs, and more
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG) today announced the expansion of AIR Pro™ to deliver agentic AI capabilities across the RingCentral customer engagement portfolio. The expansion includes new capabilities within RingCX™ that help businesses with end-to-end customer resolution, automated outreach, and intelligent hand-offs. These enhancements also strengthen how customer context is captured and carried within RingCX. When a conversation transfers to a live agent, that agent has a more complete picture, including prior interactions, data from connected systems via APIs, and relevant recordings — without having to ask the customer to repeat themselves. The context layer continuously informs itself, getting smarter with every interaction.
“RingCentral offers the broadest range of customer engagement solutions that address both informal and formal contact center requirements. Our announcement today is about expanding AIR Pro and adding key updates to RingCX as we make progress toward our vision of AI agents and humans working together,” said Jim Dvorkin, SVP of Customer Experience Products at RingCentral. “Our innovations for RingCX continue to be well received by our customers. The addition of native AI agents, along with autonomous outreach, intelligent handoffs, and our AI powered workflow builder for RingCX helps businesses improve customer experiences and achieve measurable results.”
Where Humans and AI Agents Work Together
Highlighted at Customer Contact Week (CCW) Las Vegas 2026, RingCentral rolled out the following updates:
Native AI Agents: Embedded directly into RingCX workflows, native AI agents help with inbound and outbound interactions across voice and digital channels. For example, a business can run multi-step workflows from start to finish, such as confirm an appointment, handle verification, and update a record all within a single call. Autonomous Outreach: Leverage AI agents to proactively initiate conversation outreach triggered by real-time events: appointment reminders, payment notifications, service updates. For example, a credit card payment is missed. AIR Pro calls the customer, confirms the outstanding balance, offers payment options, and processes the payment over the phone. Intelligent Handoffs: When a conversation requires human judgment or empathy, AI agents in RingCX can transfer seamlessly to live agents, carrying full customer history and CRM data so the conversation continues without interruption, repetition, or lost context. AI-powered Workflow Builder: A natural language interface for building RingCX workflows on-demand, customers are able to prompt commands through RingCX’s AI Virtual Assistant (AVA) describing what they need, and it creates a workflow automatically — no coding, no technical resources required. AI-powered RingCX Analytics: Enables business and contact center leaders to prompt questions through RingCentral’s AI Virtual Assistant (AVA) within the RingCX interface to retrieve answers and specific metrics. For example, a newly hired supervisor can ask, "What report should I use to see an agent’s attendance and performance?" and AVA surfaces the answer instantly. New WEM Capabilities
RingCentral’s native WEM solution, called RingWEM, brings together AI Quality Management, AI Interaction Analytics, and AI Workforce Management embedded directly into RingCX – helping businesses reduce average call handle times, and improve customer satisfaction without a fragmented toolset that has long held back contact center performance. New RingWEM capabilities include:
RingWEM with Live Screen Monitoring: This gives supervisors visibility into how agents handle customer interactions, with the ability to whisper, coach, or step in without disrupting the customer experience. For example, it gives supervisors visibility during the call, seeing the agent’s screen in real time, and watching how agents address a problem, while giving coaching suggestions when the conversation is still live. Added Digital Channels
RingCX supports more than 20 digital channels, along with inbound and outbound voice allowing agents to manage various customer interactions from a single, unified interface. RingCX goes beyond the standard support for WhatsApp Messaging, and now includes WhatsApp Voice support.
WhatsApp Voice Support: With WhatsApp Voice in RingCX, customers can move from a messaging conversation to voice without leaving WhatsApp. The agent picks up the call with a complete view of the customer journey, including a summary of each interaction. “As a RingCX and AIR Pro customer, we're expanding our use of AI to drive a consistent customer experience while also enabling more automated AI and human interactions,” said Jaimie Bell, VP of Client Solutions at Office Gurus. “The expansion of AI Agents in RingCX, powered by AIR Pro, is really exciting. We're looking forward to it giving us more control and visibility into deploying AI agents at scale without sacrificing the quality our customers expect. We're early in implementation, and already seeing how AI agents will help us move faster, reduce manual overhead, and deliver a more seamless customer experience.”
RingCX Momentum
As of the end of Q1 2026, more than 1,700 businesses have adopted RingCX, up over 70% year-over-year – with more than half of them utilizing AI.
RingCX customers are achieving measurable results across industries. For example, in healthcare, Sun River Health achieved a 95% first-call resolution rate — 25% above industry standard. In entertainment, The Escape Game reduced costs by 50% while increasing bookings by 7%, and the San Diego Symphony cut box office hold times by 95%.
“The industry is moving beyond AI assistants towards increasingly autonomous AI agents that can participate in customer journeys alongside human workers,” said Hayley Sutherland, Conversational AI Analyst at IDC. “Organizations will need a common framework for managing performance, quality, analytics, and governance across both — and having that native to the contact center platform is the right approach. RingCentral's direction reflects its commitment to both supporting its customers with the capabilities needed today, and taking them where the market is headed.”
Pricing & Availability
Native AI Agents in RingCX and Automated Outreach will be available on a consumption basis, aligned with AIR Pro pricing. RingWEM with Live Screen Monitoring — will be priced on a seat basis or included in the RingCX Ultimate tier. New RingCX capabilities are currently in beta with general availability in 2H 2026.

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 also includes 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 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 ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
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 ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow 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.
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.
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.
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.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

The company’s cloud-based business communications and collaboration solutions are designed to provide a single user identity across multiple locations and devices, including smartphones, tablets, PCs and desk phones. This makes remote working and collaboration easy.
RNG 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. RNG has a Growth Style Score of A, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 12.6% for the current fiscal year.
For fiscal 2026, five analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.08 to $4.91 per share. RNG boasts an average earnings surprise of +3.7%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, RNG should be on investors' short list.

RNG’s Quarterly DetailsSubscription revenue, representing 97% of total revenue, increased 5.6% year over year to $623.17 million.

Other revenue was $21.03 million (3.3% of total revenue), which decreased 4.2% from the year-ago quarter. While smaller in overall contribution, the decline indicates that growth remains concentrated in recurring subscriptions, keeping the company’s revenue base anchored in predictable, contract-driven streams.

RingCentral’s AI Receptionist handles roughly 11,800 businesses across healthcare, financial services, construction, and legal. Until last week, it answered calls. Now it books appointments, processes orders and responds to messages without looping in a human.
The company added Shopify, Calendly and WhatsApp to its AI Receptionist product, known as AIR, moving the system from call-handling into transaction execution, per a Thursday (May 7) press release.
One System, No Handoff Traditional customer service ran in layers. A bot handled the first exchange. A human took the handoff. A back-end system processed the transaction. AIR now covers all three from a single system, RingCentral said.
The Shopify connection lets AIR handle order status inquiries and customer support questions over the phone without routing to a separate system, per the release. The Calendly integration schedules appointments end to end, working inside the calendars, CRMs, reminders and payment tools businesses already run through the app. A customer calling after hours to book a service gets a confirmed slot without reaching a person. WhatsApp extends the same automation to inbound messages, using the same AI that runs the phone channel.
AIR also now steps into call queues during peak hours or when agents are unavailable. A healthcare group fielding a surge of calls at lunch, for instance, can have AIR greet callers, answer questions about office hours or accepted insurance and schedule appointments while staff are occupied, RingCentral noted.
Keller Interiors, an installation partner for Lowe’s Home Improvement, used AIR across 33 locations. Wait times dropped from 12 minutes to 90 seconds and customer satisfaction scores rose 3 points in four months without adding headcount, the company said.

“RingCentral AIR solved a problem we didn’t have a good human answer for,” said Beth Owens, chief of staff at Keller Interiors. “How do you route every inbound call correctly, 24/7, across 33 locations, without building a call center?”
Task Is the Product Earlier, the company introduced Enterprise Branded Calling, international SMS expansion and a Customer Engagement Bundle for Microsoft Teams. call-answering tool into a cross-channel customer engagement layer sitting across voice, SMS, WhatsApp and Teams.
Maple Federal Credit Union deployed AIR across branches running on disconnected systems. Hold times fell 90% and staff recovered 1.5 hours of daily capacity per employee.
RingCentral also added automatic language detection, with AIR identifying a caller’s language from the first word and continuing in that language across 10 options including Spanish, French, and Portuguese, the company said.
Gartner last August predicted 40% of enterprise applications will carry task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% today. The Shopify and Calendly integrations put AIR inside that category. The system completes the transaction. It doesn’t route to one.
“The AI vendors winning right now are the ones solving real problems businesses face every day,” said Michelle Morgan, IDC research manager for AI-enabled sales, customer service, and contact center strategies. “Every feature tied to a clear pain point.”
AIR now has more than 11,800 business customers, up from 8,300 at the end of Q4 2025, PYMNTS reported. RingCentral’s Q1 2026 subscriptions revenue rose approximately 6% year over year to $623 million. The company reports Q2 results in August.
RingCentral is capitalizing on AI-driven contact center solutions, shifting its narrative from legacy provider to applied AI leader. RNG's new AI products are driving strong attach rates and accelerating growth, with Q1 revenue up 5.2% y/y and margin expansion. Recent partnerships with Cox Business and Spectrum Business, plus robust R&D, are expanding RNG's TAM to $150 billion and fueling product innovation.
RingCentral is mispriced as a commoditized UCaaS provider, yet its AI monetization and FCF compounding are underappreciated. Q1 2026 results show AI Receptionist customers up 40% QoQ to 11,800, with RCAI-utilizing customers now over 10% of ARR and net retention above 100%. Operating leverage is accelerating: non-GAAP operating margin reached 22.9%, FCF per share grew 15%, and share count declined 6% YoY.
RingCentral is leveraging AI innovations to drive customer engagement, product adoption, and higher ARPU, supporting robust growth prospects. RNG raised 2026 revenue guidance to $2.62–$2.64B and EPS to $4.85–$5.01, reflecting strong Q1 results and margin expansion. Valuation remains compelling at 8.5x 2026E EPS and 1.43x forward sales, significantly below sector medians, with profitability and margin gains fueling the upside.
Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also 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 ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
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 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 +23.7% 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.
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.
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.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, RNG should be on investors' short list.

Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
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.

RUTLAND, Vt., May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CWST), a regional solid waste, recycling and resource management services company in the Eastern United States, and Waga Energy (EPA: WAGA), a global expert in the production of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from landfills, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 14, 2026, to celebrate the opening of the RNG production facility at the Chemung County Landfill in Elmira, New York. The facility, which has been successfully turning landfill gas into RNG since January 2026, represents a key milestone in Casella’s efforts to create valuable resources from waste.
“We’re excited to celebrate the opening of this facility as it represents a key piece of our strategy coming to life,” said Ned Coletta, President and CEO of Casella Waste Systems, Inc. “We made the decision several years ago to find great partners to develop these RNG projects at our facilities rather than invest the capital and embark on projects that are outside the scope of our expertise. This project is a great example of the benefits of that approach as we see the collective expertise of Chemung County, Waga Energy, and our landfill operations team coming together to create value out of the waste we manage.”
The facility leverages the WAGABOX® technology developed and patented by Waga Energy to upgrade landfill gas into pipeline‑quality RNG. The RNG produced on-site is injected directly into the Valley Energy natural gas distribution network, supplying the region with a renewable alternative to fossil natural gas. The facility is designed to generate up to 610,000 MMBtu of renewable gas annually and is expected to avoid more than 47,000 tons of CO₂‑equivalent emissions each year, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards1. Through its first four months, the facility has performed well through its ramp up phase, and is projected to produce 340,000 MMBtu in year one which is equivalent to 2.4 million gallons of diesel fuel.
"We are honored to celebrate this inauguration alongside Casella, a company whose commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship is truly exemplary,” said Guénaël Prince, Chief Executive Officer of Waga Energy Inc. “The successful commissioning of the Chemung facility demonstrates the strength of our partnership and Casella's leadership in renewable energy development. This project showcases how innovative collaboration can turn waste into a valuable resource for the energy transition, benefiting both the environment and local communities."
Under the terms of the agreement, Waga Energy deployed the capital required to fully fund the construction of the facility and will own and operate the facility for 20 years, while Casella and Waga Energy share the revenue generated from RNG sales.

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.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
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 ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus 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.
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.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

RNG is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 8.1; value investors should take notice.
One analyst revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.00 to $4.86 per share. RNG also boasts an average earnings surprise of +3.7%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, RNG should be on investors' short list.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also 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 ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight 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 The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.7% 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 have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
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.

Vontier Surpasses 2030 Emissions Target Five Years Early, Sets New 65% Reduction Goal Vontier (NYSE: VNT), a leading global provider of critical technologies and solutions to connect, manage and scale the mobility ecosystem, today released its 2026 Sustainability Report, highlighting the company's success in delivering on its mission to mobilize the future to create a better world.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260611299016/en/
Vontier publishes annual sustainability report, beating 2030 emissions target five years early.
Among the key findings: Vontier has reduced its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 49%, surpassing its 2030 target five years ahead of schedule. The company is now setting an accelerated target of a 65% absolute reduction by 2030.
In addition to its climate achievements, Vontier reached its 2030 waste diversion goal early by diverting 91% of manufacturing site waste from landfills. The company also generated $8.4 million in operational cost savings via internal efficiency initiatives.
Vontier serves as a connective layer across the mobility economy, helping customers in convenience retail, fleet solutions and automotive repair navigate simultaneous digital and energy transitions – removing what the company calls the ‘complexity tax’ on productivity and progress.
“Vontier sits at the intersection of mobility and technology, and we use that position to help enable a multi-energy future,” said Mark Morelli, President and CEO of Vontier. “In 2025, we achieved a major milestone of reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 49%, five years ahead of our 2030 target, demonstrating what’s possible through innovation, operational efficiency and accountability. As we look ahead, we remain focused on setting ambitious goals, maintaining transparent governance practices and continuing to shape a more sustainable future for our customers and communities.”
“Reaching our 2030 emissions targets five years ahead of schedule is another incredible testament to the ingenuity and commitment of our global team,” said Katie Rowen, EVP, Chief Transformation & Operations Officer. “This step-change in our emissions wasn't traced back to a single project; it was achieved by tapping into the collective expertise of our workforce, customers and suppliers. Vontier’s next phase of growth is about scaling what works, deepening accountability and continuing to support customers through multi-energy innovations.”
Productivity at scale: Driving efficiency through VBS
Vontier's operational results were driven by the Vontier Business System (VBS), an enterprise-wide framework rooted in kaizen (continuous improvement) that turns operational complexity into frictionless performance. VBS connected employees, processes and technology to yield more than 200 completed kaizens globally in 2025:
Greensboro campus innovations: At Vontier’s largest manufacturing facility in Greensboro, N.C., a facility maintenance team member installed timers on more than 50 exhaust fans to ensure they only operate during occupied hours. Accelerated capability: Vontier continued to scale its VBS Ignite career development program to compress three years of business experience into three months, enabling participants to drive immediate operational throughput improvements. Modern mobility infrastructure: First-of-its-kind lifecycle milestones
Vontier meets customers where they are to transition legacy systems into continuous capability, deploying intelligent hardware and cloud connectivity to future-proof operations:
Industry-first assessment: Vontier became the first company in the world to complete an end-to-end lifecycle assessment (LCA) of a fueling dispenser based on its SK700-II model. Aligned with ISO 14040/14044 standards, upgrades identified through the process will help reduce customers' Scope 1 and 2 dispenser lifecycle emissions significantly. Alternative fuel infrastructure: ANGI Energy advanced its commercial fleet positioning in compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG), delivering fueling solutions that offer up to 80% lower fuel costs than diesel while reducing fleet carbon footprints. Scaling smart, connected systems
Vontier powers smart charging, energy management and customer engagement at scale, connecting forecourts to retail and loyalty:
Global EV charging software: Driivz, Vontier's EV charging and energy management platform, expanded its footprint to 36 countries, supporting more than 3 million charging points and 6 million drivers. In 2025, the platform enabled the avoidance of 1,014,000 metric tonnes of CO2e, delivered 1.34 TWh of energy and supported 6.7 billion kilometers of electric driving. Sheetz platform deployment: Long-standing client Sheetz integrated Driivz software across 125 EV charging stations in seven states, linking charging hardware directly to point-of-sale apps, loyalty rewards and real-time session tracking. Noteworthy workplace safety records
Vontier builds forward-looking flexibility and total operational integrity into its workforce. In 2025, the company achieved safety metrics well ahead of its corporate timelines:
Significant incident reductions: Vontier’s Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) fell to 0.19, representing a 67% reduction from its 2022 baseline. Its Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate dropped to 0.14, a 65% reduction over the same period. Best-in-class certification record: Vontier’s global manufacturing sites achieved 100% ISO 45001 occupational health and safety certification, up from 78% in 2024, and sustained 100% ISO 14001 environmental management certification. Zero-incident operations: Multiple global business units — including operations in Argentina, Chile, EMEA and Southeast Asia, alongside Driivz, Teletrac Navman and DRB — completed the full calendar year with zero recordable incidents. Elite third-party validation
Vontier's system-level momentum was confirmed by prominent global corporate governance and responsibility rating organizations in 2025:
EcoVadis: Awarded a Gold rating, placing Vontier in the top 5% of companies assessed globally. CDP: Earned straight "A" ratings in both Climate Change and Supplier Engagement. TIME and Statista: Recognized on TIME’s World’s Most Sustainable Companies list for the second consecutive year. Newsweek: Ranked #81 on Newsweek's America's Most Responsible Companies list, rising from its initial appearance at #543 in 2023. Community giving & social impact
Vontier continues to support economic empowerment and human dignity across the local communities it serves. During 2025, approximately 1,000 employees contributed more than 4,350 volunteer hours through "Day of Caring" events. The company facilitated over $1 million in total corporate and employee charitable donations to more than a hundred organizations globally.
