Key Takeaways Curaleaf announced a 1-for-3 reverse split as part of preparations for a potential U.S. exchange uplisting.CURLF posted Q1 2026 revenue growth of 6%, with international revenues rising 35% year over year.Curaleaf expects higher Q2 revenues and continued international growth but faces pricing pressure. Curaleaf Holdings recently took another significant step toward a potential uplisting to a major U.S. stock exchange by announcing a 1-for-3 reverse stock split. The move follows the company’s earlier domestication plan and comes amid growing momentum behind federal cannabis reform efforts in the United States.
Why Uplisting Could Be a Game Changer for CURLFThe reverse stock split is the latest step in Curaleaf's broader effort to position itself for a potential U.S. stock exchange listing. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to domesticate from Canada to Delaware, aligning its corporate structure more closely with U.S. capital markets and laying the groundwork for a future uplisting.
While the reverse split does not change Curaleaf's underlying business or market value, a successful uplisting could have meaningful implications for the stock. Currently, many institutional investors are restricted from investing in cannabis operators that trade on over-the-counter (OTC) markets, limiting the pool of potential shareholders. A listing on a major U.S. exchange could improve liquidity, enhance visibility and attract a broader range of investors.
The timing is also notable. Curaleaf's latest move comes as federal cannabis reform efforts continue to gain momentum. Recently, the Department of Justice moved certain state-licensed medical cannabis products to Schedule III and initiated a broader review process for marijuana rescheduling. Management believes these developments could eventually improve access to banking and other financial services while supporting the industry's long-term growth prospects.
Taken together, the Delaware domestication plan and reverse stock split suggest that Curaleaf is actively preparing for a scenario in which regulatory barriers begin to ease. Although an uplisting is not guaranteed, the company seems committed to placing itself in a strong position if the opportunity eventually arises.
However, investors should look beyond these developments and evaluate Curaleaf's broader fundamentals to determine how to play the stock following this announcement.
Curaleaf's Business Shows Signs of ImprovementEarlier this month, the company reported first-quarter 2026 revenues of $324.2 million, up 6% year over year, driven by continued growth across both its domestic and international operations. International revenues increased 35% from the prior-year period, highlighting the strength of Curaleaf's expanding presence in European medical cannabis markets.
Management pointed to improving trends in several key markets. Florida, one of Curaleaf's most important states, delivered 15% transaction growth during the quarter, helping offset continued pricing pressure. The company has also continued expanding its retail footprint, recently opening two additional medical dispensaries in Florida and bringing its total store count in the state to 73 and 165 nationwide.
Looking ahead, management expects second-quarter revenues to increase 2-3% sequentially, implying revenues of roughly $333 million at the midpoint. The company also expects operating cash flow to strengthen as the year progresses and remains optimistic about international growth, where revenues are projected to increase 25-30% in 2026. Stabilizing pricing trends and ongoing product innovation could provide additional support for future growth.
Yet, challenges remain. Gross margin during the quarter was 49%, down 220 basis points over the year-ago period, as pricing pressure continued to weigh on the industry. While management noted that price compression has begun to stabilize in certain markets, profitability across the cannabis sector remains highly dependent on regulatory developments and market-specific supply dynamics.
Although the company’s bottom line swung to a surprising profit during the quarter, investors should note that the results benefited from the release of previously recorded tax reserves following a review of certain tax positions. As a result, the quarter's profitability may not fully reflect the company's underlying operating performance.
Cutthroat CompetitionCuraleaf operates in an increasingly competitive cannabis industry, where several multi-state operators are also positioning themselves to benefit from potential regulatory reform and improved access to capital markets.
Among its largest U.S. competitors is Green Thumb (GTBIF - Free Report) , which has built one of the strongest retail footprints in the U.S. cannabis market and has generally demonstrated greater consistency in profitability. As federal cannabis reform efforts advance, GTBIF is also expected to be among the key beneficiaries of improved access to capital and potential exchange uplisting opportunities.
On the international front, CURLF faces competition from Tilray Brands (TLRY - Free Report) , which operates across Europe, Canada and several emerging cannabis markets. TLRY has been aggressively expanding its international cannabis footprint, particularly in Europe, as it seeks to capitalize on the growing adoption of medical cannabis across the region. This expanding presence could intensify competition in a market that Curaleaf views as a key long-term growth driver.

How to Play CURLF Stock?Curaleaf appears to be making meaningful progress on multiple fronts. The company's efforts to prepare for a potential U.S. exchange uplisting, coupled with improving business trends and strong international growth, have strengthened the investment case for the stock.
It is important for investors to recognize that marijuana reclassification is unfolding gradually rather than through a rapid federal shift. Even if reforms continue to advance, several restrictions surrounding U.S. cannabis businesses are likely to remain in place, meaning the path toward broader industry normalization could take longer than investors expect.
Curaleaf operates in a highly competitive industry, facing pressure from well-established U.S. operators such as Green Thumb as well as internationally focused players like Tilray. Given the regulatory uncertainty and competitive landscape, investors may want to adopt a wait-and-watch approach toward the stock. Those considering an investment in this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company should exercise caution and closely monitor both regulatory developments and its ability to sustain recent operational momentum.

Among multi-state operator (MSO) marijuana stocks, Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF 0.49%) and Curaleaf Holdings (CURLF 0.81%) are top-shelf cannabis companies, both in terms of scale and long-term prospects.
Both also share many of the same risks, which is not surprising given that they operate in an industry that's not fully legalized at the federal level in the U.S. yet. That said, these stocks aren't interchangeable. Using traditional fundamental analysis, Green Thumb appears to be the stronger choice among the two.
However, given what drives price action, especially among speculative growth stocks, Curaleaf Holdings appears better positioned to take off from here. That said, it may all depend on both your investing approach and time horizon.

Green Thumb and Curaleaf share many similarities Green Thumb and Curaleaf rank among the largest MSOs in the United States. Curaleaf is the largest MSO, with trailing 12-month (TTM) sales of around $1.3 billion. Green Thumb, however, isn't that far behind, with TTM sales totaling $1.2 billion.

As MSOs, both companies own cannabis manufacturing, distribution, and retailing businesses licensed at the U.S. state level. The MSO model has served as a useful workaround for discrepancies in U.S. federal and state marijuana laws. By bulking up, whether organically or via acquisitions, MSOs have been able to benefit from economies of scale.

Even so, as regulatory uncertainty continues to cloud the U.S. cannabis space, both companies face various challenges specific to this industry. Taxation is a key example. According to Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, companies involved in the sale of Schedule I and Schedule II controlled substances can't take regular business deductions.
Both Green Thumb and Curaleaf maintain that they are not subject to Section 280E. However, the Internal Revenue Service has yet to make a final decision on this. The IRS is likely awaiting further regulatory clarity and could rule in the MSO's favor, but there's always the risk that the IRS will reject this position. This could leave both companies exposed to significant tax liabilities.
How these two MSO stocks differ Green Thumb and Curaleaf may have numerous similarities, but these two MSOs have significant differences as well. One key difference is that while Curaleaf remains unprofitable on a GAAP basis, Green Thumb has reported positive earnings per share (EPS) during each of the past five years. Not only that, Green Leaf trades at a far lower EV/EBITDA ratio, around 3.5 times, than Curaleaf, which trades for an EV/EBITDA ratio of around 15.5 times.
Yet while Green Thumb appears more attractive to value investors, remember that its future completely hinges on further reforms to U.S. federal law. On the other hand, Curaleaf is hedging its bets, pursuing opportunities in Europe's licensed cannabis market. Moreover, beyond its international catalyst, Curaleaf has another catalyst on tap: plans to move its primary stock market listing from the over-the-counter (OTC) market to a major exchange.
Yes, this uplisting plan is pending regulatory approval. Also, as a favorable interpretation of recent plans to reschedule medical marijuana could pave the way for a Green Thumb uplisting, achieving this would arguably have a greater and more immediate impact on Curaleaf's stock price performance.
In short, if you prefer the margin of safety provided by a low valuation, Green Thumb may be the better choice among MSO stocks. However, if you believe the headlines will more greatly influence near and longer-term price action, there is also merit in entering a position in Curaleaf. Other investors who want exposure to this trend but want to mitigate company-specific risk may want to opt for marijuana ETFs instead.
A sea change is taking place for cannabis companies, one that will have an enormous benefit for the industry.
In April, the Department of Justice (DOJ) rescheduled medical marijuana from a Schedule I drug, similar to heroin or LSD, to a Schedule III substance, such as anabolic steroids for prescribed medical use and some commonly prescribed medicines, such as codeine mixed with acetaminophen.
The change means that medical marijuana will no longer be illegal at the federal level, and that change means that cannabis companies that sell medical marijuana will now be able to take standard business deductions, which they couldn't do previously under 280E of the Internal Revenue tax code.
The second shoe to drop regarding reclassification comes June 29, when hearings begin to determine if adult-use marijuana should also be rescheduled as a Schedule II substance. That would open up even more tax reductions for cannabis companies that also have adult-use sales.

Even the reclassification isn't a done deal yet. The attorneys general of three states -- Indiana, Louisiana, and Nebraska -- filed a federal court petition in Washington, D.C. on May 22, claiming the DOJ's order violates federal administrative law and international drug-control treaties.
The final outcome remains uncertain, particularly regarding how unpaid past Section 280E tax liabilities -- currently carried as liabilities rather than debt -- will be resolved. Additionally, there is still no definitive progress on the SAFER Banking Act or the potential for stock exchange uplisting.
While shares of two of the largest multi-state operators, Trulieve (TCNNF 1.73%) and Curaleaf (CURLF 0.81%) have soared more than 90% and 70%, respectively, over the past three months, there are other cannabis stocks that are better buys right now and are less risky, with better debt positions: Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF 0.49%) and Tilray Brands (TLRY 1.76%).
Why I like Green Thumb Industries Green Thumb has a similarly large scale as Trulieve and Curaleaf, with 110 RISE dispensaries across 14 markets, but a better track record of financial discipline. The company has turned a profit in six of the past seven quarters, something neither Trulieve nor Curaleaf can claim.

In the first quarter, Green Thumb reported revenue of $300.2 million, an increase of 7.4% year over year, and earnings per share of $0.07, an increase of 75% from the same quarter a year ago. The company has $289.9 million in total debt, but $344.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The company has done a good job of building up its brands, which helps insulate it from the price compression affecting the industry. The company's brands include RYTHM, Dogwalkers, Incredibles, Beboe, &Shine, Doctor Solomon's, and Good Green.
Why I like Tilray Brands Tilray, based in Canada, has an international presence, with operations in Canada, Europe, and the U.S. beverage market. Changes in U.S. regulations would allow Tilray to expand in the U.S., and a more favorable tax environment here could boost its revenue and earnings.

Tilray already has a toehold in the U.S. Following strategic acquisitions -- including an expansive portfolio of craft beer brands from Anheuser-Busch and its acquisition of BrewDog -- Tilray has shielded itself from pure cannabis volatility. This infrastructure gives it an instant, legally compliant distribution network into U.S. retail and bars, which can be easily leveraged for THC- and CBD-infused beverages when federal laws shift, as well as give it a base to eventually operate cannabis sales in the U.S. The company already said it is looking into a pilot Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation program that would let it supply hemp-derived medical cannabis to patients through specific healthcare groups and cancer clinics.
The company is coming off a record third quarter, in which revenue grew 11% year over year to $206.7 million, including 73% growth in international sales.
Tilray also trimmed its total debt by 6% to $549 million. Management reconfirmed positive full-year adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) guidance of $62 million to $72 million, representing growth of 13% to 31%, proving that its underlying operations are scaling effectively.
Tilray is a hidden gem The stock, because it doesn't yet sell cannabis in the U.S., is being overlooked compared to other large cannabis retailers. However, due to its growth in international sales and its marketing experience in the U.S. through its beverage sales, it has the wherewithal to pounce on new opportunities in the U.S.
The stock is priced right, with a price-to-sales ratio of 0.541, lower than Trulieve, Curaleaf, and Green Thumb Industries.
Green Thumb may still be the safer bet because it has a longer history of profitability, but Tilray offers several overlooked advantages and greater growth potential.
The rescheduling of cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug by the U.S. Department of Justice on April 23 means that the sector's stocks will no longer move in tandem with political winds. More than ever, there are cannabis winners and losers, and Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF 0.49%) is among the former.
The company is financially strong enough, with self-sustaining cash generation, to benefit from recent regulatory changes and weather any short-term shifts.
The legal U.S. cannabis market was expected to be $137.7 bilion in 2026 and is expected to grow to a $1.43 trillion market by 2034, a compound annual growth rate of 34%, according to a Fortune Business Insights report.
Green Thumb is that rare profitable cannabis company poised to benefit from the inevitable institutionalization of cannabis use in the U.S. Here are three reasons to buy Green Thumb Industries stock right now.
Image source: Getty Images.
1. Fewer taxes mean better margins Moving to Schedule III removes the 280E federal tax burden for state-licensed medical marijuana operations. Operators can finally deduct standard corporate expenses, immediately expanding net margins.
It's been estimated that medical dispensaries that operate at typical margins could recapture 15 to 30 points of effective tax rate, a significant difference.
Green Thumb is already positioned to capture this upside. In its first-quarter earnings report, the company noted that it has filed applications for U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration registrations following the rescheduling.
In the first quarter, Green Thumb reported revenue of $300.2 million, up 7.4%, year over year, and earnings per share (EPS) of $0.07, up 75% over the same period a year ago. The company had $344.5 million in cash, up from $289.9 million, putting its balance sheet ahead of most competitors'. That gives Green Thumb the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities or fund capital expenditures without borrowing.

2. Unparalleled capital discipline in the sector When cannabis valuations spiked years ago, some management teams used their equity to overpay for cultivation assets. Green Thumb, on the other hand, improved its operational efficiency in limited-license states and remained profitable.
Green Thumb's strong cash position allows it to continue repurchasing its shares, and it bought back $33.3 million in shares in the first quarter. For a company with a market cap of $1.8 billion, retiring that many shares is an incredibly bullish signal. It proves that founder and CEO Benjamin Kovler views Green Thumb equity as significantly undervalued. This aggressive stock buyback program reduces the overall share float, concentrates future EPS, and provides a structural floor for the stock price during broader market sell-offs.
3. Green Thumb is poised for a boon in adult-use sales The rescheduling change applies only to medical-use dispensaries for now. However, on June 29, it is possible that at an administrative hearing, adult-use recreational marijuana will also be made a Schedule III drug. That will mean cannabis companies can also benefit from standard business deductions on their adult-use sales.
Green Thumb is well positioned for the transition because it can capitalize quickly when states approve adult-use sales. It has 110 dispensaries in 14 states.
In September, Minnesota launched its adult-use market. Green Thumb already had eight RISE dispensaries up and running, allowing these locations to instantly absorb the massive influx of recreational demand. The company is also increasing its footprint for upcoming adult-use transitions in major East Coast and Southern markets, such as Virginia, where it has seven dispensaries, Florida, where it has 22 dispensaries, and Pennsylvania, where it has 19 dispensaries.

The fund bought 18,457 shares of the oil and gas company's stock, valued at approximately $457,000. Several other institutional investors have
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Oceaneering International (OII - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 3.1% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Oceaneering International due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Oceaneering International, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Oceaneering Q4 Earnings Surpass Estimates, Revenues MissOceaneering International reported an adjusted profit of 45 cents per share for the fourth quarter of 2025, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents. Moreover, the bottom line surpassed the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of 37 cents. This was driven by strong year-over-year operating income from its Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products and Aerospace and Defense Technologies segments.
Total revenues were $668.6 million, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $711 million and decreased approximately 6.3% from the year-ago quarter’s $713.5 million due to lower revenues in the company’s energy-focused businesses. The revenue decrease in the energy business was primarily due to the unusually high number of international intervention and installation projects that OII’s Offshore Projects Group segment performed in the prior-year quarter, but that did not repeat in the fourth quarter of 2025. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Houston, TX-based oil and gas equipment and services company reported adjusted EBITDA of $90.5 million, a 10.9% decrease year over year.
The company also repurchased 419,005 shares for approximately $10.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Segmental InformationSubsea Robotics (SSR): The unit provides remotely operated submersible vehicles for drill support, vessel-based inspection, subsea hardware installation, pipeline surveys and maintenance services.
Revenues totaled $211.7 million compared with the year-ago quarter’s $212.2 million. However, the top line missed our estimate of $225 million.
The segment also reported an operating income of $67.8 million compared with $63.5 million a year ago. The figure beat our estimate of $65 million.
The company’s segment delivered an EBITDA margin of 38% in the fourth quarter of 2025, improving from the prior-year period’s 36%. Revenue per day for remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”) rose 7% to $11,550, while ROV fleet utilization declined to 62%.
Manufactured Products: The segment focuses on the manufactured products business, theme park entertainment systems and automated guided vehicles.
Revenues totaled $132.4 million compared with the year-ago quarter’s $143 million. Additionally, the top line missed our estimate of $140 million.
The segment posted an operating profit of $20.4 million in the fourth quarter, up from the year-ago quarter’s $4.2 million. The reported figure beat our estimate of $9.4 million.
The backlog totaled $511 million as of Dec. 31, 2025, down 15.4% from the same time in 2024. For the 12 months ending Dec. 31, 2025, the book-to-bill ratio was 0.84.
Offshore Projects Group (OPG): This segment involves Oceaneering’s former Subsea Projects unit, excluding survey services and global data solutions, the service and rental business and ROV tooling.
Revenues decreased about 29.1% to $130.8 million from $184.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Moreover, the figure missed our estimate of $161 million.
The unit’s operating income totaled $15 million compared with the prior-year quarter’s $39.3 million. The figure also missed our estimate of $28.7 million. The company’s operating income margin decreased to 11% from the prior-year quarter’s 21%.
Integrity Management & Digital Solutions (IMDS): This segment covers Oceaneering’s Asset Integrity unit, along with its global data solutions business.
Revenues of $66.5 million decreased from the year-ago quarter’s $75.1 million. The figure also missed our estimate of $72 million.
The segment reported an operating loss of $0.12 million, reversing the prior-year quarter’s operating profit of $2 million. Moreover, the figure missed our projection of a profit of $0.65 million.
Aerospace and Defense Technologies (ADTech): The segment is engaged in Oceaneering’s government business, which focuses on defense subsea technologies, marine services and space systems.
Revenues totaled $127.3 million, up from $98.8 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024. The figure beat our estimate of $113 million.
The operating income increased to $14.2 million from $9.9 million in the year-ago quarter. However, it missed our estimate of $16.6 million. Operating income margin improved to 11%.
Capital Expenditure & Balance SheetThe capital expenditure in the fourth quarter, including acquisitions, totaled $36 million.
As of Dec. 31, 2025, OII had cash and cash equivalents worth $688.9 million and $497.5 million, respectively, along with a long-term debt of about $487.4 million. The debt-to-capitalization was 31.2%.
OutlookThe company anticipates lower revenues in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025. This is because of lower activity levels in energy markets at the start of 2026. The company anticipates consolidated EBITDA will be between $80 million and $90 million.
For SSR, the company expects a modest year-over-year uptick in revenues, while operating income is likely to decline due to shifts in geographic mix.
For Manufactured products, OII expects significantly higher operating income despite lower revenues.
For OPG, the company anticipates a significant decrease in revenues and operating income due to year-over-year changes in volume and project mix.
For IMDS, it expects both revenues and operating income to be relatively flat year over year
For ADTech, OII anticipates revenues to grow strongly, while operating income is projected to rise slightly due to changes in project mix.
During the first quarter of 2026, Oceaneering’s unallocated expenses are projected to be around the $50 million mark, driven by wage inflation, higher IT spending, and foreign exchange fluctuations.
For the full-year 2026, Oceaneering expects consolidated revenues to grow in the low to mid-single-digit percentage range. The company projects EBITDA of $390 million to $440 million, representing a modest increase at the midpoint versus 2025. Free cash flow is forecast at $100 million to $120 million, with the year-over-year decline reflecting the early receipt of approximately $37 million in customer payments in the fourth quarter of 2025. Combined 2025-2026 cash conversion is expected to be nearly 40%. Organic capital expenditures are projected at $105 million to $115 million, with 40% allocated to growth and 60% to maintenance. Energy-focused capex is expected to decline 12%, while ADTech spending increases. Net interest expense is forecast at $21 million to $26 million, and cash tax payments are expected at $95 million to $105 million.
Segmentally, SSR revenues are expected to grow in the low to mid-single digits, with EBITDA margins in the mid-30% range.

Key Takeaways OII is set to report Q1 results on April 22 with an EPS of 35 cents and $664M revenue estimates.OII sees strength from 7% ROV pricing gains, $3.7B orders and 1.33 book-to-bill, boosting visibility.OII faces headwinds from weak energy demand, lower vessel use and working capital outflows. Oceaneering International, Inc. (OII - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2026 earnings on April 22, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 35 cents per share and the same for revenues is pinned at $664 million.
Let us delve into the factors that might have influenced OII’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Before that, it is worth taking a look at the company’s performance in the last reported quarter.
Highlights of OII’s Q4 EarningsIn the last reported quarter, the Houston, TX-based oil and gas equipment and services company’s earnings beat the consensus mark. OII reported an adjusted profit of 45 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents. This was driven by strong year-over-year operating income from its Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products and Aerospace and Defense Technologies segments. However, revenues of $668.6 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $711 million.
OII’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average positive surprise of 17.3%.
This is depicted in the graph below:
OII Stock’s Trend in Estimate RevisionThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter 2026 earnings has remained unchanged in the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates an 18.6% year-over-year decrease. However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues implies a decrease of 1.6% from the year-ago period’s actual.
Factors to Consider Ahead of OII’s Q1 ResultsOceaneering International enters the first quarter of 2026 with strong operational momentum and improved pricing across key segments, particularly in Subsea Robotics, where remotely operated vehicle (ROV) pricing rose by about 7% and margins expanded. The company’s record $3.7 billion order intake and solid 1.33 book-to-bill ratio provide strong revenue visibility. Growth in the high-margin ADTech segment, backed by robust defense spending and a multiyear backlog, is expected to lift revenues. Additionally, continued backlog conversion in Manufactured Products and margin improvements across segments support profitability. Strong cash generation and a healthy $689 million cash balance enhance financial flexibility, positioning the company well to outperform expectations despite seasonal softness in the quarter to be reported.
Despite underlying strength, OII’s first quarter faces notable headwinds that could pressure results. Management expects consolidated revenues to decline sequentially due to weaker energy market activity early in the year, with offshore demand remaining subdued. A significant cash flow drag is anticipated from working capital outflows, as prior early customer payments in the fourth quarter of 2025 reduce first-quarter inflows. Offshore Projects Group is expected to see sharp declines in both revenues and operating income due to lower vessel utilization and a shift away from high-margin installation work. Additionally, flat-to-lower utilization in ROV operations and geographic mix impacts could weigh on margins. Elevated unallocated expenses and seasonal softness may further limit earnings upside.

Total revenues were $692.4 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $664 million and increased approximately 2.7% from the year-ago quarter’s $674.5 million, driven by higher revenues in the company’s Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products and Aerospace and Defense Technologies segments. In the first quarter of 2026, the Houston, TX-based oil and gas equipment and services company reported adjusted EBITDA of $83.7 million, a 13.4% decrease year over year.

Segment-wise, SSR is likely to see revenue growth but stable operating income, while Manufactured Products is forecasted to deliver increases in both revenues and profitability. OPG revenues are anticipated to remain steady, though operating income may dip slightly due to project mix changes. IMDS is expected to face declines in both revenue and earnings due to lower volumes in West Africa and Australia, along with uncertain activity in the Middle East. Meanwhile, ADTech is projected to post strong gains in operating income, supported by significantly higher revenues. Unallocated expenses are expected to be around $50 million.

Important Earnings at a GlanceWhile we have discussed OII’s first-quarter results in detail, let us take a look at three other key reports in this space.
Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted net income per share of 55 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. The outperformance primarily reflects successful cost reduction initiatives. However, the bottom line fell from the year-ago adjusted profit of 60 cents due to softer activity in the North American region and the negative impact of geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, which hurt both of the company’s segments.
Meanwhile, revenues of $5.4 billion were 0.3% lower year over year but beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.3 billion.
Halliburton reported first-quarter capital expenditure of $192 million. As of March 31, 2026, the company had approximately $2 billion in cash/cash equivalents and $7.1 billion in long-term debt, representing a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 39.6.
Range Resources Corporation (RRC - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.52 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.33. The bottom line also improved from the prior-year level of 96 cents.
Total quarterly revenues of $1,018.3 million topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $919.3 million. The top line increased from the prior-year figure of $854 million.
Strong quarterly results can be attributed to higher gas-equivalent production and increased natural gas price realization.
At the end of the first quarter, Range Resources reported a total debt of $819.3 million, net of deferred financing costs.
EQT Corporation (EQT - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings from continuing operations of $2.33 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.23. The bottom line increased from the year-ago quarter’s figure of $1.18.
Adjusted operating revenues increased to $3,136 million from $2,153 million in the prior-year quarter. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,127 million.
Strong quarterly results were driven by the increase in total sales volumes and higher realized natural gas equivalent prices.
As of March 31, 2026, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $326.6 million and net debt of $5.67 billion.
Key Takeaways Solaris Energy Infrastructure posted Q1'26 adj EPS of $0.44, up 120% Y/Y, beating estimates.SEI Power Solutions revenues hit $128.5M, with some 910 MW earning revenues and strong contracting momentum.Solaris signed a 600 MW 10-year deal; pipeline $800M-$1B could add $160M-$200M recurring EBITDA.

Net income was $32.1 million in the quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted EBITDA was $83.6 million, up from $46.9 million in the year-ago period, driven primarily by higher Power Solutions activity levels and a modest lift in Logistics profitability.
Solaris Expanded Power Footprint With Longer-Dated ContractsA central theme in the quarter was Solaris’ push toward longer-term behind-the-meter power arrangements for large technology customers. Subsequent to the quarter, on April 24, 2026, the company entered into an agreement to provide more than 600 MW of capacity, including balance of plant, for a 10-year term with a five-year extension option, with deployments expected to begin in late 2026 and scale through 2028.
In its investor materials, Solaris framed its contracted power base as exceeding 2,000 MW across multi-year partnerships with global technology leaders and highlighted a pro forma fleet of 3.1 GW expected to be delivered by the end of 2029.
Solaris Highlighted Balance-of-Plant Upside and Scope ExpansionBeyond just supplying power capacity, management highlighted a “turnkey” approach that includes not only generation but also supporting equipment and services. Recent long-term contracts cover a wider range of needs, such as distribution, storage and other infrastructure. This allows the company to invest more per project and potentially earn higher returns over the life of the contract.
Supporting this outlook, SEI has a strong pipeline of additional projects worth roughly $800 million to over $1 billion. If these are secured and completed, they could generate about $160 million to $200 million in recurring EBITDA.
SEI Raised Near-Term EBITDA Outlook and Updated Capital ItemsFor the second quarter of 2026, the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company raised total adjusted EBITDA guidance to $83-$93 million from $76-$84 million previously, and established third-quarter adjusted EBITDA guidance of $80-$95 million. Solaris also provided non-operational guideposts, including net interest expense of $5-$8 million for second-quarter 2026 and $12-$15 million for third-quarter 2026, and D&A of $32-$35 million for second-quarter 2026 and $35-$38 million for third-quarter 2026.

On the capital and shareholder return front, Solaris approved a quarterly dividend of 12 cents per share payable June 12, 2026, and noted it upsized a previously announced $300 million credit facility to allow up to $500 million of commitments. At quarter-end, cash attributable to Solaris was $337.5 million, while long-term debt attributable to Solaris (net of current portion) was $395.4 million, with a debt-to-capitalization of 26.4%.
Some Key Oilfield Service EarningsWhile we have discussed SEI’s first-quarter results in detail, let’s see how some other oilfield service companies have fared this earnings season.
NOV Inc. (NOV - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 15 cents per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 17 cents. The bottom line also decreased 21% from the year-ago quarter’s 19 cents. NOV’s total revenues of $2.1 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 million but fell 2.4% from the year-ago quarter’s figure of $2.1 billion.
The lower-than-expected quarterly earnings of NOV were primarily attributable to conflict in the Middle East, which disrupted logistics, delayed deliveries and increased operational costs. In the first quarter, NOV repurchased approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock for a total of $67 million. The company also returned $33 million in dividends, resulting in a total of $100 million in capital to its shareholders during the quarter.
Oceaneering International (OII - Free Report) reported an adjusted profit of 30 cents per share for the first quarter of 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 35 cents. Moreover, the bottom line decreased from 43 cents in the year-ago quarter. This was due to lower operating income from its Offshore Projects Group and Integrity Management & Digital Solutions segments.
As of March 31, 2026, Oceaneering had cash and cash equivalents worth $607.5 million and $688.9 million, respectively, along with a long-term debt of about $488.8 million. The debt-to-capitalization was 30.5%. Oceaneering also reported adjusted EBITDA of $83.7 million, a 13.4% decrease year over year.
Liberty Energy (LBRT - Free Report) reported a first-quarter 2026 adjusted net profit of 6 cents per share, in contrast to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 13 cents. The outperformance was driven by the company’s focus on technological innovation and strong operational execution. Moreover, Liberty Energy’s bottom line increased from the year-ago quarter’s profit of 4 cents.
LBRT's revenues totaled $1 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $949 million. The top line also increased from the prior-year quarter’s $977 million by 4%, supported by elevated activity levels. Liberty Energy reported total costs and expenses of $998.9 million in the first quarter, increasing 4.1% from the year-ago quarter’s level.
Oceaneering International is rated a 'Buy', with a 13% upside driven by robust defense demand and service-based contract focus. ADTech segment revenues surged 35% YoY, now comprising nearly 20% of OII's Q1 2026 revenues, offsetting energy segment weakness. The company guides for FY 2026 revenue growth of 5% YoY and EBITDA of $415 million, with ROV daily revenue expected to reach ~$13,000.
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oceaneering's OPG has been awarded an integrated installation contract by Burullus Gas Company for the West Delta Deep Marine gas field development.

The company leverages advanced robotics and engineering expertise to deliver integrated solutions for complex subsea and industrial challenges. Its broad customer base and technological capabilities provide a competitive edge in servicing high-specification, mission-critical projects worldwide.
What this transaction means for investorsOceaneering's stock has already more than doubled over the past year, and last quarter alone, shares skyrocketed nearly 50%. However, prices are still down nearly 50% from highs over a decade ago, suggesting Archon believes Oceaneering can add back at least some of that upside going forward. Fundamentally, the latest quarter was mixed on the surface. Revenue rose 3% year over year to $692 million, but net income fell 28% to $36 million, and adjusted EBITDA declined 13% to $83.7 million. Still, management pointed to roughly $1 billion in new orders during the quarter, including more than $300 million of Subsea Robotics awards extending as far as 2031 and $175 million of Aerospace and Defense Technologies awards.
What's especially interesting is where future growth may come from. Management continues to highlight its aerospace and defense business as its primary growth driver for 2026 while also expecting offshore activity to improve in the second half of the year. The company maintained full-year EBITDA guidance of $390 million to $440 million despite ongoing geopolitical disruptions in parts of its energy business.
For long-term investors, the story is increasingly about this diversification. The firm’s growing exposure to defense, robotics, and autonomous systems could give investors multiple ways to win if those markets continue expanding. And Archon seems a part of that camp.

Oceaneering Q1 Earnings Fall Short of Estimates, Revenues BeatOceaneering International reported an adjusted profit of 30 cents per share for the first quarter of 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 35 cents. Moreover, the bottom line decreased from 43 cents in the year-ago quarter. This was due to lower operating income from its Offshore Projects Group and Integrity Management & Digital Solutions segments.
Total revenues were $692.4 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $664 million and increased approximately 2.7% from the year-ago quarter’s $674.5 million, driven by higher revenues in the company’s Subsea Robotics, Manufactured Products and Aerospace and Defense Technologies segments. In the first quarter of 2026, the Houston, TX-based oil and gas equipment and services company reported adjusted EBITDA of $83.7 million, a 13.4% decrease year over year.

Q2 OutlookThe company expects stronger overall performance in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, with consolidated revenues projected to rise and EBITDA estimated between $100 million and $110 million. Segment-wise, SSR is likely to see revenue growth but stable operating income, while Manufactured Products is forecasted to deliver increases in both revenues and profitability. OPG revenues are anticipated to remain steady, though operating income may dip slightly due to project mix changes.

Financial Outlook for Full Year 2026
The following table summarizes Getty Images’ fiscal year 2026 guidance, including a normalized revenue outlook that excludes the impact of the $40 million of accelerated revenue recognized in Q4 2025 from two multi-year licensing agreements. This guidance remains unchanged from guidance communicated earlier this year.
2026 GuidanceNormalized Revenue GrowthRevenue$948 million to $988 million Revenue YoY-3.4% to 0.6%0.7% to 4.9%Revenue YoY, Currency Neutral-4.5% to -0.5%-0.5% to 3.7%Adjusted EBITDA$279 million to $295 million Adjusted EBITDA YoY-12.9% to -8.1%-2.4% to 2.9%Adjusted EBITDA YoY, Currency Neutral-13.9% to -9.1%-3.6% to 1.7%
The guidance has been prepared based on the following foreign currency exchange rates: the Euro at 1.17 and GBP at 1.34, which remains unchanged. In addition, the Adjusted EBITDA guidance now includes approximately $6.9 million of one-off increases in SG&A, up from $5.6 million previously, as the Company continues to accelerate its SOX compliance efforts. This acceleration is in anticipation of needing to be SOX 404(b) compliant assuming the pending merger with Shutterstock is consummated in 2026.
Previously Announced Merger Agreement with Shutterstock
On January 7, 2025, Getty Images announced that it entered into a merger agreement with Shutterstock to combine in a merger of equals transaction, creating a premier visual content company. The proposed transaction was approved by Shutterstock stockholders on June 10, 2025, the DOJ has concluded its review and the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act has expired, without conditions and the Proposed Transaction remains subject to other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval in the United Kingdom.
Following submission of a briefing paper, on April 22, 2025, the United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") invited Getty Images to submit a Merger Notice and their review process is ongoing. On October 20, 2025, Getty Images received notice from the CMA of their intent to refer the proposed merger to a Phase 2 review process unless acceptable undertakings to address their competition concerns are offered. On November 3, the CMA announced that despite the offer of a comprehensive package of remedies by Getty Images and Shutterstock, it has referred the merger to a Phase 2 review process.
On February 19, 2026, the CMA issued its interim report as part of its ongoing Phase 2 review, finding that the merger is not expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition in the global stock (creative) content market however the CMA also found that the merger may result in a lessening of competition in the UK editorial market.
On March 11, 2026, the CMA published an Invitation to Comment on Remedies and published a Notice of Extension, extending its reference period by eight weeks to June 14, 2026. On March 12, 2026, Getty Images and Shutterstock responded to the Interim Report.
On April 16, 2026, the CMA issued a provisional decision with respect to the appropriate remedy to address the competition concerns provisionally identified in the Interim Report.
Getty Images and Shutterstock are actively engaged with the CMA ahead of the CMA’s final decision. Based on the merits of the transaction and market realities, Getty Images and Shutterstock remain hopeful that the CMA will reach a conclusion consistent with the DOJ and other regulators around the globe.
Both parties continue to expect the transaction to close in 2026.
For additional information associated with the transaction, please see the Company filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In order to assist investors in understanding the core operating results that our management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning, we present the following non-GAAP measures: (1) Adjusted EBITDA, (2) Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (3) Adjusted EBITDA less capex (4) Adjusted EBITDA less capex Margin, (5) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share and (6) Free cash flow. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company believes that these measures are relevant and provide useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry to provide a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance, and in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results. We also evaluate our revenue and other metrics on an as reported (U.S. GAAP) and currency neutral basis. We believe presenting currency neutral information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our comparable results, consistent with how we evaluate our performance internally.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided below.
The Company does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the information, such as foreign currency impacts necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is available to the Company without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations and the U.S. GAAP measures may be materially different than the non-GAAP measures.

Lorman, Mississippi, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alcorn State University is making a bold move to bring its story as America’s first public land-grant historically Black college and university (HBCU) to a global audience with its new content partnership with Getty Images, a preeminent global visual content creator and marketplace.
Through this collaboration, Alcorn State has significantly increased its ability to tell the story of its origin since the University’s establishment on May 13, 1871 — making it the nation’s first public land-grant HBCU.
“Alcorn State University’s legacy of educational excellence and impact establishes it as a powerful addition to the Getty Images HBCU Program,” said Cassandra Illidge, vice president of partnerships and HBCU Programs at Getty Images. “Together, we are expanding access to vital historical narratives and ensuring that the stories of Mississippi and beyond are preserved, elevated, and accessible for generations to come.”
That history includes generations of alumni who have gone on to make their mark across various industries and fields.
Prominent alumni include Leslie Frazier, assistant head coach and three-time Super Bowl champion; Dr. Jacqueline "Dr. Jackie" Walters, OB-GYN and reality star; Timon Kyle Durrett, actor ; and Donald Driver, former NFL wide receiver.
Alcorn is also the alma mater of civil rights icons Medgar Evers and Myrlie Evers-Williams, and NFL great Steve McNair, among others.
Alcorn’s hallowed grounds have also welcomed some of the most celebrated figures in American history, including boxing legend Muhammad Ali and activist Jesse Jackson.
“Through this collaboration with Getty Images, Alcorn’s visibility will increase significantly, showcasing our history and growth as we approach 155 years as America’s first public land-grant HBCU,” said Dr. Tracy M. Cook, president of Alcorn State University. “The world will now have a front row seat to the traditions and excellence that have defined Alcorn State for generations. This is not just about where we have been; it is about where we are going.”
Through this partnership, Getty Images will manage the post-production costs to restore thousands of images from Alcorn’s Archives, including rarely seen photographs tracing back to the early 20th century, along with video footage from football games in the 1970s. This funding comes from the company’s HBCU Photo Archive Grants Program provided by the Getty Family and Stand Together. The new archival content is now available for licensing via Getty Images’ global distribution platform.
Getty Images' program partners, Adnet Global, Epson America, Inc. and Denny’s, will support Alcorn with preserving its Archives through proper metadata application, scanning equipment for the digitization process and student stipends for participation in the program.
Alcorn State extends its gratitude to the ASU Foundation, Inc. for their support of this initiative, as well as to University Libraries and Alcorn State Athletics.
“Alcorn State University has a rich legacy and history that deserves to be preserved and shared with the world,” said Maxine Greenleaf, vice president for marketing and communication at Alcorn State University. “As America’s first public land-grant HBCU, Alcorn has stood the test of time, and this partnership ensures that legacy is seen and celebrated for all that it has meant for those who have benefited from its doors being open and for those whose doors it continues to open.”

Lattice Semiconductor announced the $1.65B acquisition of AMI, aiming to enhance its secure management and control platform for AI and cloud. LSCC delivered 42% YoY Q1 revenue growth and strong operating leverage but trades at a lofty ~24x sales pre-AMI, with pro forma multiples still elevated. Despite upbeat growth, guidance, and a well-structured deal, the company's valuation—about 100x realistic earnings—remains a significant concern.
Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC - Free Report) could be a solid choice for investors given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). An upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices -- has triggered this rating change.
The Zacks rating relies solely on a company's changing earnings picture. It tracks EPS estimates for the current and following years from the sell-side analysts covering the stock through a consensus measure -- the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements makes the Zacks rating system highly useful for individual investors, since it can be difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts. These are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Lattice is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock PricesThe change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. That's partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
For Lattice, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company's underlying business. And investors' appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate RevisionsEmpirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.

Earnings Estimate Revisions for LatticeFor the fiscal year ending December 2026, this chipmaker is expected to earn $1.62 per share, which is unchanged compared with the year-ago reported number.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Lattice. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 10.8%.
Bottom LineUnlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $LSCC #FPGA--Lattice Semiconductor (Nasdaq: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, today announced that it will present at JP Morgan's 2026 Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at the Westin Boston Seaport Hotel.

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the "long context," investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.
Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC - Free Report) , which currently has a Momentum Style Score of A. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions.
It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Lattice Semiconductor currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

Set to Beat the Market?Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for LSCC that show why this chipmaker shows promise as a solid momentum pick.
A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.
For LSCC, shares are up 5.15% over the past week while the Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry is up 5.15% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 13.19% compares favorably with the industry's 22.28% performance as well.
Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of Lattice Semiconductor have increased 28.65% over the past quarter, and have gained 124.46% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 8.63% and 27.99%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to LSCC's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. LSCC is currently averaging 2,542,555 shares for the last 20 days.
Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with LSCC.
Over the past two months, 5 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost LSCC's consensus estimate, increasing from $1.53 to $1.78 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 5 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.
Bottom LineGiven these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that LSCC is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of A. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Lattice Semiconductor on your short list.
Here are five stocks added to the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) List today:
