Tesla zvyšuje výdaje na AI o 142 %
TSLA Tesla
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
Elon Musk said aiming for a "high-efficiency capital spend" would just "slow things down." WEF/Getty images Elon Musk says Tesla should spend even more on AI — even if some money ends up being wasted.

The EV giant's capital expenditure soared 142% year-over-year to $5.8 billion in the second quarter as Musk's AI spending spree ramped up.

Speaking on an analyst call after Tesla's earnings on Thursday, Musk said that he had asked executives to keep accelerating the company's spending.

"We should be spending on capex as fast as we can spend — as fast as we can without it being too wasteful. So we're not trying to aim for some extremely high-efficiency capital spend because that would slow things down," Musk said.

Tesla is investing aggressively in new production lines and factories for its Cybercab robotaxi and Optimus humanoid robot.

The automaker recorded a negative free cash flow of $1.1 billion in the second quarter, its first shortfall since 2024, and Tesla's shares fell in premarket trading as the company's profits missed earnings expectations.

Executives told investors that AI spending will continue to grow, with Tesla's total capex spending expected to surpass $25 billion this year.

CFO Vaibhav Taneja said on the earnings call that Tesla was aiming to secure debt facilities to give it the capacity to borrow up to $30 billion.

He predicted spending would ramp up in the next 2-3 years as the company builds a new solar panel factory, installs more AI compute, and breaks ground on a massive 'Terafab' semiconductor fab that Tesla is building with SpaceX.

It comes as other tech giants burn through cash to keep up in the escalating AI race. Google recorded a negative free cash flow of nearly $6 billion in its second-quarter earnings on Wednesday and raised its capex predictions for the full year to as much as $205 billion.

Musk's comments on Tesla's spending efficiency come a year after he launched an assault on wasteful government spending with DOGE, and the world's richest man has continued to criticize government spending as prone to abuse and waste.

Musk told investors on Wednesday that Tesla's capex efficiency was "off-scale good" because the EV giant was investing in lots of productive assets like factories and infrastructure at the same time.

"I think probably this is the fastest industrial scale-up since World War II in America," Musk said.

EU pokutuje Google 890 mil. € za porušení pravidel hospodářské soutěže
GOOGL Alphabet
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
Google has been fined a total of €890m (£760m) by the EU for breaches of online competition laws by its search and app store services.

The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said Google had broken the Digital Markets Act by giving priority to its own services, such as shopping and hotel deals, in search results over those of its rivals.

It also infringed the DMA by preventing app developers from steering consumers towards cheaper offers, including for subscriptions, on websites or alternative app stores.

Google has been fined €460m for the search-related breach and €430m for the app store violation. The commission has ordered the company to treat third-party services that appear in its search results in a “fair and non-discriminatory manner” and allow app developers to make offers outside Google’s app store.

It noted that Google had already started testing changes to how it displays search results featuring its own services. It said those changes represent “substantial progress towards compliance”.

Consumers will be direct beneficiaries of the decision by the EU, a senior official said. “Research results will be in different in Europe. They will have to adapt their search engine going forward,” they said.

Max von Thun, director of the Open Markets Institute Europe thinktank, said the fines were the “bare minimum” for a company that made revenues of just over $400bn last year.

“Having finally established Google’s non-compliance, the commission must now move quickly to force Google to end its anti-competitive practices once and for all. Europe’s startups and innovators cannot wait much longer,” he said.

The decision to impose the fine risks the ire of Donald Trump, only hours before a series of temporary global tariffs against about 60 countries expires.

A senior official for the EU said they had no knowledge of how Trump was likely to react, insisting that the bloc had the “sovereign right” to regulate US tech companies in its own jurisdiction and that the timing of the fine was not connected to tariffs.

skip past newsletter promotionafter newsletter promotion

Last year Apple and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta were fined under the DMA. Apple was told to pay €500m for anti-competitive practices at its app store and Meta was told to pay €200m in a ruling on its ad-free “consent or pay” proposal for facebook and Instagram.

Google can appeal against the decision and ask for interim measures, including a request to suspend the measure. The search company’s president of global affairs, Kent Walker, described the fine as “product degradation driven by a small group of self-serving complainants” that will have a negative impact on European businesses and consumers.

He argued that the DMA forces Google “to strip away real-time search features Europeans love – like instant pricing and direct availability for hotels, flights, and restaurants – and dismantle safety protections on Google Play”.

Bezos tlačí na redesign Prime Video s využitím AI
AMZN Amazon
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
SummaryCompaniesPrime Video to receive an AI-driven redesignJeff Bezos is overseeing Prime Video projectAmazon aims to improve its battered reputation in AISAN FRANCISCO, July 23 (Reuters) - Jeff Bezos has identified a new, high-profile platform to help showcase the hundreds of billions of dollars Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab has bet on artificial intelligence: Prime Video.

The Amazon founder and executive chairman pushed Prime Video head Mike Hopkins to overhaul the streaming service so that AI is front and ​center, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter.

The Reuters Inside Track newsletter is your essential guide during the World Cup. Sign up here.

The resulting project, known internally as Lighthouse, would shine a light on Amazon’s AI capabilities for the more than 200 million consumers ‌who use Prime Video.

Lighthouse is viewed as one critical piece in Amazon’s companywide efforts to elevate the company’s stature in artificial intelligence, as competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic speed ahead, the people said. Other AI initiatives, such as the multiyear overhaul of its Alexa voice assistant to provide more conversational responses, have had mixed results and the unit is still losing money, people familiar with the matter have previously told Reuters.

Amazon declined to comment.

CONTENTIOUS MEETING SPARKED OVERHAULThe Prime Video initiative grew out of an internal presentation the streaming service’s executives made to Bezos ​last autumn that turned contentious, according to these people.

Bezos was displeased that Hopkins' plans to update Prime Video failed to sufficiently highlight the service’s capabilities in AI and personalization, according to the people. Bezos' response ​prompted the Prime Video executives to scrap their previous plans and embark on Lighthouse.

The company has committed some $200 billion to capital expenditures this year, related primarily to developing AI, ⁠and invested an initial $23 billion in ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Anthropic combined, with the potential for upwards of another $40 billion.

Lighthouse entails a broad swath of new features that use AI to improve film and TV recommendations, in part by ​learning consumers' preferences, and responding to spoken requests, according to one person with knowledge of the project who spoke on condition of anonymity. Prime Video is working on redesigning the main home page as part of the project, the other ​people said.

The final redesign has not yet been settled, but one option Prime Video executives discussed includes AI-driven tiles, with pre-populated viewing suggestions like “action movies from the 1980s” or “Christmas rom-coms,” three of the people said. Another source said a current version does not include text-heavy tiles.

The traditional search function would remain, as well as space at the top of the screen for video highlights promoting new releases or sporting events, such as “Thursday Night Football,” the weekly National Football League game that is exclusive to Amazon.

Amazon is already testing versions of ​the redesign with a few users, said one of the people. Prime Video's plans, the people said, could change due to feedback from early testers, or financial or other concerns.

Prime Video, like other streaming services, relies on paid placement ​by studios, as well as software algorithms, to dictate where content is displayed on the home screen, said Michael Goodman, director of entertainment research for Parks Associates. Any change to that, including through greater personalization, could upend that system, he said.

“The real ‌estate on the ⁠home screen is very valuable to studios, so it would be a big change to take away any of that coveted space,” said Goodman.

FOUNDER'S PERSONAL INVOLVEMENTBezos has been personally involved in the Prime Video overhaul, the people said, including receiving occasional updates, underscoring the stakes for a company battling a reputation for subpar AI foundation models. Improved personalization can lead to more hours spent on the service.

His involvement with the Prime Video project is unusual as he has taken a step back from most day-to-day operations at Amazon since relinquishing the CEO title in 2021. He also owns the Washington Post and is the founder of spaceflight firm Blue Origin and AI startup Prometheus, reportedly valued at around $41 billion. He has focused ​more of his attention on those projects.

Prime Video is one ​of Amazon's best-known brands and is available to ⁠consumers in a number of markets where Amazon has limited or no e-commerce presence. Beyond no-cost shipping, Prime Video is the Prime subscription's most-used offering.

As part of the Lighthouse project, Amazon has also discussed integrating the Alexa voice assistant into Prime Video’s search function, the people said. Amazon in early 2025 released an overhauled generative AI version of Alexa, and ​integrated it into its main shopping site in May 2026.

Kam Keshmiri, global head of the Prime Video design, was also at the meeting with Bezos and is now ​leading the Lighthouse redesign, the people ⁠said.

PRIME VIDEO'S MARKET POSITIONIn the U.S., Prime Video is the fourth most-watched streaming service, but it is prized by Bezos, who frequents high-profile Hollywood events and owns a $165 million home in Beverly Hills.

Amazon became the first streaming service to win an Academy Award in a major category. The company deepened its commitment to entertainment in 2022 when it paid $8.5 billion to buy MGM, giving it access to many well-known entertainment franchises, including James Bond.

Prime Video’s 4.2% share of television viewing in the U.S. trails YouTube ⁠with 13.4%, Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab ​at 7.8% and Walt Disney's (DIS.N), opens new tab Disney+ at 5%, according to April data from Nielsen. Still, many Prime Video members spend hours a week ​consuming content on the platform, and the company wants to further hone its personalization capabilities through AI.

The service released a significant redesign in July 2024, aimed at making it easier for users to distinguish between what content is free and what costs extra, such as subscriptions to Paramount+ ​and TV shows and movies that require a rental fee.

Amazon wants Prime Video to be users’ central hub for paid subscriptions.

Amazon téměř ztrojnásobil počet zaměstnanců na dávkách

A new Government Accountability Office report commissioned by Sen. Bernie Sanders finds the number of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN | AMZN Price Prediction) workers relying on federal food and health assistance has nearly tripled since 2020, even as the company disclosed plans to spend $200 billion on artificial intelligence infrastructure in 2026.

The GAO reviewed enrollment data from 11 states representing roughly one-fifth of the U.S. population, covering February 2020 through September 2025. In those states, 12,346 Amazon workers were enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and 11,338 in Medicaid, figures the report says are nearly triple the counts in the prior GAO study.

Amazon ranked second among traditional employers of public-assistance recipients in the sample, behind Walmart, which had 16,055 workers on Medicaid, a 55% increase from the earlier report, and 15,515 on SNAP. Gig platforms including Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Grubhub and Instacart collectively surpassed Walmart to become the single largest category of SNAP recipients, a reflection of how contract labor has reshaped the low-wage workforce.

A National Picture Nationally, the GAO estimates 13.8 million working Americans are on Medicaid, up from 12 million in 2020, and 10.6 million on SNAP, up from 9 million. Wage data helps explain the persistence. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports average hourly earnings for the total private sector reached $37.64 in June 2026, but real average hourly earnings have barely moved, sitting at $11.32 in June 2026 compared with $11.18 in June 2024. The BEA’s latest quarterly figures show transfer receipts have grown to $5,099.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026, with Medicaid outlays climbing to $1,060.2 billion.

The Corporate Side of the Ledger Over roughly the same window covered by the GAO study, Amazon’s annual profit grew from $11.59 billion to $77.67 billion. Revenue reached $716.92 billion in fiscal 2025, with operating income of $79.98 billion.

On the Q4 2025 earnings call on Feb. 5, 2026, CEO Andy Jassy told investors the company would spend about $200 billion in capital expenditures in 2026, a roughly 60% increase from about $125 billion in 2025, saying the outlays are “predominantly in AWS” to meet AI compute demand. Jassy characterized the spend as demand-driven: “We are monetizing capacity as fast as we can install it.”

The most recent quarter offers evidence the AI bet is landing. AWS generated $37.59 billion in revenue in Q1 2026, up 28% year over year, the segment’s fastest growth in 15 quarters. Capital expenditures in that single quarter hit $44.2 billion, and free cash flow fell sharply as the buildout accelerated. Prediction market participants on Polymarket assign a 0.89 probability that Amazon’s 2026 capex will exceed $200 billion.

What to Watch The two datasets cover overlapping but nonidentical fiscal years, which limits any causal reading between the AI outlays and the growth in workers on public assistance. The GAO report establishes that the workforce dependency trend accelerated during years when Amazon’s earnings, and its capital ambitions, were expanding at their fastest pace in company history. The next signal comes on July 30, 2026, when Amazon reports Q2 results and updates its capex guidance for the balance of the year.

Nokia zvýšila výhled zisku díky AI a cloudu
NOKIA Nokia
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
Nokia reported a stronger-than-expected rise in second-quarter comparable operating profit on Thursday, supported by growing demand from artificial intelligence and cloud customers.

The Finnish telecom equipment maker also raised its full-year comparable operating profit guidance range, signalling confidence that the current growth momentum will continue.

The company reported comparable operating profit of 434 million euros ($496.11 million) for the second quarter of 2026.

The figure represented an 18% increase from the same period and exceeded the average analyst estimate of 382 million euros, according to analysts polled by LSEG.

Nokia's results come as the company continues to shift its focus towards supplying fibre-optic equipment to large technology companies building AI data centres.

The strategy has helped the company benefit from rising investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure and increasing demand from cloud customers.

Nokia said comparable net sales reached 4.82 billion euros during the quarter, also exceeding market estimates.

The company reported particularly strong growth among its AI and cloud customers.

Net sales from these customers doubled during the quarter to 446 million euros.

Nokia also said it booked 2.8 billion euros in new orders during the period.

The increase in orders highlights continued demand for infrastructure supporting AI and cloud operations.

CEO Justin Hotard said demand remained strong, while supply constraints continued to affect the wider industry.

"Demand remains strong, while supply continues to be the main industry constraint, prompting our customers to place longer-term orders," Hotard said in a statement.

The comments point to continued pressure across the telecom equipment industry as companies seek to manage supply challenges while responding to growing demand linked to AI infrastructure.

Despite the stronger demand environment, Nokia has not been immune to rising costs linked to memory chips.

The rapid expansion of AI has contributed to a sudden increase in memory chip prices.

AI companies have been cornering the market for memory chips, creating pressure for telecom equipment makers and raising concerns about the impact on industry margins.

Nokia's Swedish rival Ericsson warned last week that rising memory chip costs, driven by surging AI demand, were putting pressure on the company.

The warning increased investor concerns that higher costs could affect margins and contributed to a sharp decline in Ericsson's shares.

Nokia's latest results suggest that the company is benefiting from the same AI-driven demand trend while continuing to navigate the supply constraints and cost pressures affecting the broader telecom equipment sector.

Since joining Nokia last year, Hotard has focused on expanding the company's data centre business.

Before joining the Finnish group, he led Intel's Data Center & AI Group.

Under his leadership, Nokia has placed greater emphasis on opportunities created by the growth of AI and data centre infrastructure.

The company has also entered into a billion-dollar deal with chipmaker Nvidia as part of its efforts to expand its position in the data centre market.

The strategy has coincided with a sharp increase in revenue from AI and cloud customers.

Nokia's latest results show that the business is becoming an increasingly important contributor to the company's overall performance.

Nokia also raised its full-year comparable operating profit guidance range following the stronger quarterly performance.

The company now expects full-year comparable operating profit to be between 2.1 billion euros and 2.6 billion euros.

This compares with its previous guidance range of 2 billion euros to 2.5 billion euros.

The upgraded outlook reflects Nokia's stronger second-quarter performance and its expectations for continued growth from AI and cloud customers.

The company, however, continues to operate in an industry facing supply constraints and higher memory chip costs.

While AI-related demand is creating new opportunities, the rising cost of memory chips remains a challenge for telecom equipment manufacturers.

For Nokia, the latest results indicate that its increased focus on AI infrastructure and data centre customers is helping support growth.

The company will continue to balance that demand with supply constraints and cost pressures across the wider industry.

Manifest Finance spouští kartu pro tvůrce ve spolupráci s Mastercard
MA MasterCard
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
By PYMNTS  |  July 23, 2026

 | 

Creator-focused embedded banking platform Manifest Finance launched a debit card in partnership with Mastercard.

“As the creator economy evolves, millions of creators are operating as full-scale businesses, managing multiple revenue streams, selling products and services, and engaging global audiences,” according to a Thursday (July 23) news release provided to PYMNTS.

However, many of these creators “lack financial tools built for how they actually work,” the release said.

The Manifest Business Debit Mastercard is designed to address this issue “by aligning payments, banking and financial management into an integrated experience” for creator-led businesses, according to the release.

The new card’s offerings include Mastercard’s global business loyalty program, fraud monitoring and identity theft protection services, and access to dining, travel and entertainment events on the Mastercard Priceless platform, the release said.

The platform also allows for faster payouts, embedded payment acceptance, seamless cross-border transactions, and tools for overseeing invoicing, expenses, taxes and multiple income streams, according to the release.

“Creators are building some of today’s most dynamic small businesses,” Ginger Siegel, North America small and medium business lead at Mastercard, said in the release. “They’re managing customers, cash flow, taxes, global audiences and multiple income streams often without tools designed for how they work. Together with Manifest, we’re helping creators access the trusted payments, security and infrastructure they need to grow sustainable businesses in the digital economy.”

The release of the new Manifest and Mastercard debit card follows Visa’s April launch of a creator-focused card, developed in partnership with TikTok.

Meanwhile, the PYMNTS Intelligence report “Ready for Change: Why Nearly Half of SMBs Want to Ditch Cash and Checks” found that small business owners are seeking digital tools to help them control money movement, track spending and deal with payment-related mishaps.

According to the report, 46% of small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) said they would pay to access digital tools.

Meanwhile, 45.8% of these businesses said they would pay for the ability to adjust payment windows based on when their business had the money available, while 63.1% of SMBs said credit cards are the best payment method for disputing a transaction and getting money back.

Starbucks od začátku roku roste o 24 %, zvyšuje výhled EPS
SBUX Starbucks
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Starbucks (SBUX -0.32%) is energizing investors' portfolios. Shares have climbed 24% so far in 2026, as of July 21. Should this positive trend hold up throughout the rest of the year, the business will put together its first gain since 2021. That's welcome news for investors who have gotten used to ongoing declines.

It's also noteworthy that this coffee stock is on track to beat the Nasdaq-100 index for the first time since 2022. Outperforming a well-known technology benchmark would certainly be a winning outcome.

Does Starbucks have more room to run?

Image source: The Motley Fool.

Traffic trends are encouraging It wasn't that long ago when Starbucks was really struggling. Customers grew displeased with a worsening store experience, complex menus, and ongoing price increases, which all contributed to weaker traffic. The intensely competitive nature of the retail coffee market didn't make things easier.

The company reported declining year-over-year same-store sales in both fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. Since this metric is critical for any retailer or restaurant, as it indicates the productivity of each location, it's no wonder the stock was under pressure.

The situation has improved. Traffic trends have been encouraging. In April, Starbucks reported its financial results for Q2 2026, ended March 29. And the management team revealed that global comparable transactions were up for a second straight quarter.

"Our US company-operated business grew transactions across all day parts," CEO Brian Niccol said on the Q2 2026 earnings call.

Starbucks is working to right the ship. The company's key priorities have been to re-establish cafes as a welcoming "Third Place," while boosting store operations with better staffing and equipment. Starbucks also innovated with new menu offerings to capture more sales during the afternoon.

The Starbucks rewards program has been updated, too. It now features membership tiers based on different spending levels, aiding in personalization and providing more benefits to the most loyal customers. This setup supports engagement and frequency. There are now a record 35.6 million members in the United States.

Starbucks set out to reduce its annual expenses by $2 billion, and there appears to be progress in this regard. The business raised its full-year profit guidance, now forecasting adjusted earnings per share of $2.25 to $2.45. At the midpoint, that implies a 10% year-over-year jump.

The turnaround isn't over, though. Getting back to healthy growth is the main goal. At Starbucks' investor day meeting in January this year, management laid out a target to achieve a 5% year-over-year revenue gain by fiscal 2028. The top line is expected to be flat in fiscal 2026, so there is still work to do.

Should you buy the coffee chain's shares today? Starbucks is a high-quality business. It has a wide economic moat that's supported by an incredible brand and tremendous scale. These two traits, which have driven success in the past, give Starbucks a durable advantage in the crowded industry.

Another bullish argument focuses on the company's profit outlook. Starbucks' adjusted EPS will grow at a compound annual rate of 19.8% between fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2028, according to consensus analyst estimates. That's an encouraging outlook.

But investors should remember that this bottom-line forecast isn't on solid ground. Starbucks is still in the middle of a turnaround that can present new challenges. Plus, the macroeconomic environment could weaken, pressuring demand for the premium food and beverage that Starbucks offers.

In addition, the valuation is expensive. The consumer discretionary stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 35.6. There is no margin of safety, adding greater downside risk to the equation. So this isn't a stock I'm thinking of buying.

Income investors, however, will have a different perspective. Starbucks' current dividend yield of 2.37% is more than double what the S&P 500 index offers. That payout has increased by 210% in the past decade. And Starbucks has paid a dividend for an impressive 66 straight quarters. T

HRL's expertise in silicon-spin qubits and quantum sensing will strengthen and extend IBM's world-leading quantum computing mission

, /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire HRL Laboratories, LLC (HRL), a flagship research and development institution. HRL is a private company jointly owned by Boeing and General Motors. Both Boeing and GM will continue to partner with IBM on quantum applications and advanced technology development following the transaction.

HRL's advanced expertise in silicon-spin qubit engineering will complement and extend IBM's long-term mission to scale increasingly powerful quantum computers and accelerate its quantum vision.  Superconducting qubits and spin qubits both leverage state-of-the art silicon fabrication. This shared foundation is amongst the reasons why these two modalities offer credible paths to scaling quantum technologies.

"The HRL team will help IBM push even farther forward toward the frontiers of quantum innovation," said Jay Gambetta, IBM's Director of Research and IBM Fellow. "This talented group of researchers brings a broad portfolio of technologies that will strengthen IBM's long-term plans to deliver useful quantum computing to the world, bringing together advances across quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum networking to enable the applications of the future." 

"Joining IBM is the natural next chapter for what we have built at HRL, where our team has dedicated years to exploring paths to how future quantum computers could be built at scales that today seem impossible," said Rob Vasquez, President and Chief Executive Officer at HRL "We now look forward to leveraging IBM's industry leadership and working alongside their world-class talent on fundamental infrastructure to take this vision forward. Additionally, our cutting-edge physical and information science innovations will combine with their advanced research capabilities to deliver an unmatched suite of technology solutions for our commercial and government customers."

HRL will also enable IBM to innovate in and industrialize promising technologies such as quantum sensing and drive new research into quantum materials. This includes ultra precise quantum sensors capable of detecting subtle physical phenomena and capturing finely tuned measurements for life sciences, navigation, defense, and scientific applications. Combined with additional capabilities in cryogenics, control electronics, qubit interconnects, and packaging, IBM anticipates that HRL's technical breakthroughs will help fuel its quantum program for decades to come.

Additionally, HRL has developed innovations in novel quantum materials that have the potential to unlock better semiconductors and more sensitive sensors – all of which can optimize the performance and scalability of a wide range of quantum technologies.

Beyond its leadership in quantum computing, HRL brings deep expertise in advanced sensors, high-speed and high-power communications, electronics, advanced manufacturing, and materials science, developed through decades of research and development for both commercial and U.S. government customers. HRL's broad technology portfolio will complement IBM's innovation leadership and help accelerate the development of next-generation computing, communications, and mission-critical systems.

Advancing Quantum Computers for Generations to Come

IBM continues to define the direction for the industry with superconducting qubit-based architectures, including breakthroughs in error correction and new algorithms enabling quantum computers to run harder problems more efficiently. IBM's roadmap to deliver the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers is clear and on course. This includes delivering IBM Quantum Starling by 2029, which will be 20,000 times more powerful than today's quantum computers and capable of running 100 million quantum operations. In the mid-2030s, Starling will be followed by the even more powerful Blue Jay quantum computer, projected to be capable of 1 billion quantum operations.

As IBM looks to further extend quantum computing, HRL will bring robust knowledge of silicon‑based spin qubit platforms and surrounding infrastructure that could offer new insights into how to best scale quantum computers into the next decade.

In May 2026, IBM further expanded its global quantum leadership when the company announced it would establish Anderon, the world's first pure-play quantum wafer foundry. As a standalone IBM company, Anderon is being created with the support of the U.S. Department of Commerce to enable scalable, consistent, and agile manufacturing for a broad range of quantum computing modalities and companies. The acquisition of HRL offers an opportunity to partner even more closely with Anderon, including potential plans to develop spin qubit manufacturing to scale quantum manufacturing and enable faster learning cycles.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, and IBM's acquisition of HRL is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The transaction is anticipated to close by the end of the third quarter of 2026.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY:

Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Tobin, said, "Dover delivered another strong quarter of double-digit earnings per share growth. Top-line performance was led by our secular-growth-exposed markets — which now account for approximately 25% of the total portfolio — and was complemented by broad-based, constructive trading conditions across the portfolio. Notably, all five segments delivered positive organic growth in the quarter, underscoring the breadth and durability of demand. Margin performance was solid, as continued operational execution on incremental volumes more than offset input cost inflation.

"Bookings outpaced shipments and grew double digits in the quarter, extending the streak of exceptional order rate momentum our businesses have posted over the past several quarters. The strength and breadth of our order book provide improved visibility to our second half outlook.

"Our balance sheet remains a competitive advantage, and we continue to invest capital behind our businesses. During the quarter, we advanced capacity-expansion projects to support growth and productivity investments to drive margins across the portfolio. Industrial M&A markets have improved this year, and our acquisition pipeline has a number of interesting opportunities in attractive end markets.

"As we look to the back half of the year, we are well positioned to drive continued value creation for our shareholders. The underlying strength of our order book, together with the flexibility of our business model and the optionality of our balance sheet, afford us the ability to respond dynamically to market conditions and quickly capitalize on opportunities as they arise. Accordingly, we are raising our full-year adjusted EPS guidance."

FULL YEAR 2026 GUIDANCE:

In 2026, Dover expects to generate GAAP EPS in the range of $8.94 to $9.14 (adjusted EPS of $10.55 to $10.75), based on full year revenue growth of 6% to 8% (organic growth of 4% to 6%).

CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION:

Dover will host a webcast and conference call to discuss its second quarter results at 9:30 A.M. Eastern Time (8:30 A.M. Central Time) on Thursday, July 23, 2026. The webcast can be accessed on the Dover website at dovercorporation.com. The conference call will also be made available for replay on the website.

Non-GAAP Measures Definitions

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, management also discloses non-GAAP information that management believes provides useful information to investors. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, total segment earnings, total segment earnings margin, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of revenue, free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for earnings from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities, or revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The items described in our definitions herein, unless otherwise noted, relate solely to our continuing operations.

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations represents earnings from continuing operations adjusted for the effect of purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits and gain/loss on dispositions. Purchase accounting expenses are primarily comprised of amortization of intangible assets. We exclude after-tax purchase accounting expenses because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions the Company consummates. While we have a history of acquisition activity, our acquisitions do not happen in a predictive cycle. Exclusion of purchase accounting expenses facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time. We believe it is important to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. We exclude the other items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to the Company's commercial performance during the period and/or management believes they are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating costs or gains in a given period.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations or adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations represents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted for the effect of purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits and gain/loss on disposition.

Total segment earnings is defined as the sum of earnings before purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits, gain/loss on dispositions, corporate expenses/other, interest expense, interest income and provision for income taxes for all segments. Total segment earnings margin is defined as total segment earnings divided by revenue.

Adjusted segment EBITDA is defined as segment earnings plus other depreciation and amortization expense, which relates to property, plant, and equipment and intangibles, and excludes amounts related to purchase accounting expenses and restructuring and other costs/benefits. Adjusted segment EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted segment EBITDA divided by revenue.

Management believes the non-GAAP measures above are useful to investors to better understand the Company's ongoing profitability as they better reflect the Company's core operating results, offer more transparency and facilitate easier comparability to prior and future periods and to its peers.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue equals free cash flow divided by revenue. Free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted earnings from continuing operations equals free cash flow divided by adjusted earnings from continuing operations. Management believes that free cash flow and free cash flow ratios are important measures of liquidity because they provide management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.

Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, provides a useful comparison of our revenue and trends between periods. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking organic revenue to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure pursuant to the exception provided in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K because we are not able to provide a meaningful or accurate compilation of reconciling items. This is due to the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the timing and amounts of the items that would be excluded from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or are out of our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of unavailable information which may be material.

Performance Measures Definitions

Bookings represent total orders received from customers in the current reporting period and exclude de-bookings related to orders received in prior periods, if any. This metric is an important measure of performance and an indicator of revenue order trends.

We use the above operational metric in monitoring the performance of the business. We believe the operational metric is useful to investors and other users of our financial information in assessing the performance of our segments.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Net sales were $12.1 billion, up 20% year-over-year, reflecting increases in all operating segments and regions. Local price increased 20% versus the year-ago period, led by gains in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, with higher polyethylene prices in all regions. Currency increased 1% year-over-year. Volume decreased 1% year-over-year. Gains in Performance Materials & Coatings across both businesses were more than offset by declines in Packaging & Specialty Plastics largely due to planned maintenance activity.   GAAP net income was $802 million. Op. EBIT1 was $1.6 billion, up $1.7 billion year-over-year, primarily driven by higher prices as well as the Company's self-help initiatives. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) was $0.99; operating EPS1 was $1.44, compared to a loss of $0.42 in the year-ago period. Op. EPS excludes significant items totaling $0.45 per share, driven by costs associated with Transform to Outperform, partially offset by an income tax adjustment associated with a payment from NOVA Chemicals.   Cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations was $1.3 billion, primarily driven by higher earnings across all businesses, more than offsetting an expected working capital build reflecting revenue growth.   Returns to shareholders totaled $253 million of dividends in the quarter. CEO QUOTE

"Team Dow delivered strong second quarter results through disciplined and timely execution, reliably serving our customers, and accelerating our self-help actions," said Karen S. Carter, Dow CEO. "Market conditions were supportive this quarter, and our self-help initiatives delivered ahead of plan, further reinforcing the improvement in our earnings as we continue to strengthen Dow's resilience and agility. We now expect to generate approximately $200 million more in benefits from Transform to Outperform this year, enabling us to increase the total in-year benefits from self-help to greater than $1.3 billion. Our actions to become a leaner, more competitive company position Dow well to continue winning with our customers while delivering enhanced long-term shareholder value."

Packaging & Specialty Plastics segment net sales in the quarter were $6.4 billion, up 27% versus the year-ago period. Local price increased 30% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher polyethylene prices in all regions. Currency increased net sales by 1%. Volume decreased 4% year-over-year, driven by lower volumes in both businesses, including higher planned maintenance activity in Hydrocarbons & Energy, resulting in lower merchant sales.  

Op. EBIT was $1.3 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion compared to the year-ago period, driven by higher integrated margins as a result of higher polyethylene prices contributing to margin expansion and tailwinds from the Company's self-help initiatives, which were partly offset by higher planned maintenance activity.

Packaging and Specialty Plastics business reported a net sales increase versus the year-ago period, reflecting higher polyethylene prices, most notably in flexible packaging applications and in all regions. This more than offset lower polyethylene volumes, driven by declines in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI) and Asia Pacific impacted by the Middle East conflict.

Hydrocarbons & Energy business reported a net sales increase year-over-year, driven by higher olefins prices, which more than offset lower volumes due to planned maintenance activity in the U.S. Gulf Coast and the idling of a cracker in EMEAI in mid-2025, which successfully restarted in June.

Local price increased 15% year-over-year, reflecting gains in both businesses and in all regions. Currency increased net sales by 1%. Volume decreased 2% year-over-year, driven by lower volumes in Polyurethanes & Construction Chemicals, including impacts from the Middle East conflict, which were partially offset by increased volume in Industrial Solutions. 

Op. EBIT was $246 million, an increase of $431 million versus the year-ago period, driven by higher margins, tailwinds from the Company's self-help initiatives, lower planned maintenance activity and the suspension of the recognition of equity losses from Sadara.

Polyurethanes & Construction Chemicals business reported an increase in net sales compared to the year-ago period, primarily driven by local price gains, which were partly offset by lower volumes. Volume growth across industrial market applications was more than offset by impacts from the Middle East conflict.

Industrial Solutions business reported an increase in net sales, with local price gains in all regions compared to the year-ago period. Volume growth was driven by recent alkoxylation investments and increased demand for data center applications, partially offset by impacts from the Middle East conflict.

Volume increased 6% year-over-year, driven by higher volumes in both businesses, led by growth in downstream silicones.  

Op. EBIT was $133 million, a decrease of $19 million versus the year-ago period, as tailwinds from the Company's self-help initiatives were more than offset by higher fixed costs, including turnaround activity in the quarter and the costs associated with the in-period shutdown of our Barry, U.K. upstream siloxanes plant.

Consumer Solutions business reported an increase in net sales versus the year-ago period, driven by volume gains in downstream silicones, led by consumer, electronics and home care applications.

Coatings & Performance Monomers business reported an increase in net sales across all regions compared to the year-ago period, led by higher price and volume in both acrylic monomers and architectural coatings.

OUTLOOK

"As we look into the second half of 2026, we will continue to build a more agile and resilient company that sets a new competitive standard," said Carter. "We will do so by advancing three priorities: growth and innovation in attractive end markets, investing in and strengthening our portfolio, and ensuring balanced capital allocation. Aligned to this, Transform to Outperform is delivering improvements in both growth and productivity, and we expect the impact of these efforts to ramp significantly throughout the remainder of this year and into 2027. Taken together, our collective actions are focused on enhancing the long-term value Dow delivers across the cycle."

Certain statements in this press release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements often address expected future business and financial performance, financial condition, and other matters, and often contain words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "opportunity," "outlook," "plan," "project," "seek," "should," "strategy," "target," "will," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," "would" and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words or phrases.

Forward-looking statements are based on current assumptions and expectations of future events that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are beyond Dow's control, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements and speak only as of the date the statements were made. These factors include, but are not limited to: sales of Dow's products; Dow's expenses, future revenues and profitability; any supply chain, operational or other disruptions, sanctions, export restrictions, or increased economic uncertainty related to the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East; capital requirements and need for and availability of financing; unexpected barriers in the development of technology, including with respect to Dow's contemplated capital and operating projects; Dow's ability to realize its commitment to carbon neutrality on the contemplated timeframe, including the completion and success of its integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives facility in Alberta, Canada; size of the markets for Dow's products and services and ability to compete in such markets; Dow's ability to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles; the rate and degree of market acceptance of Dow's products; significant litigation and environmental matters and related contingencies and unexpected expenses; the success of competing technologies that are or may become available; the ability to protect Dow's intellectual property in the United States and abroad; Dow's ability to realize expected benefits from Transform to Outperform on the contemplated timeframe; developments related to contemplated restructuring activities and proposed divestitures or acquisitions such as workforce reduction, manufacturing facility and/or asset closure and related exit and disposal activities, and the benefits and costs associated with each of the foregoing; fluctuations in energy and raw material prices; management of process safety and product stewardship; changes in relationships with Dow's significant customers and suppliers; changes in public sentiment and political leadership; increased concerns about plastics in the environment and lack of a circular economy for plastics at scale; changes in consumer preferences and demand; changes in laws and regulations, political conditions, tariffs and trade policies, or industry development; global economic and capital markets conditions, such as inflation, market uncertainty, interest and currency exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices; business, logistics, and supply disruptions; security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, including the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East; weather events and natural disasters; disruptions in Dow's information technology networks and systems, including the impact of cyberattacks; risks related to Dow's separation from DowDuPont Inc. such as Dow's obligation to indemnify DuPont de Nemours, Inc. and/or Corteva, Inc. for certain liabilities; and any global and regional economic impacts of a pandemic or other public health-related risks and events on Dow's business.

Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes information that does not conform to GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's segments, including allocating resources. Dow's management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the Company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a more useful comparison of year-over-year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the Company's GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures included in this release are defined below. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures section starting on page 10. Dow does not provide forward-looking GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period.

Operating Earnings Per Share is defined as "Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items.

Operating EBIT is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items.

Operating EBIT Margin is defined as Operating EBIT as a percentage of net sales.

Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) before income taxes") before interest, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of significant items.

Free Cash Flow is defined as "Cash provided by (used for) operating activities - continuing operations," less capital expenditures. Under this definition, Free Cash Flow represents the cash generated by the Company from operations after investing in its asset base. Free Cash Flow, combined with cash balances and other sources of liquidity, represent the cash available to fund obligations and provide returns to shareholders. Free Cash Flow is an integral financial measure used in the Company's financial planning process.

Cash Flow Conversion is defined as "Cash provided by (used for) operating activities - continuing operations," divided by Operating EBITDA. Management believes Cash Flow Conversion is an important financial metric as it helps the Company determine how efficiently it is converting its earnings into cash flow.

Operating Return on Capital (ROC) is defined as net operating profit after tax, excluding the impact of significant items, divided by total average capital, also referred to as ROIC.

"Income (loss) before income taxes." "Net income (loss) available for Dow Inc. common stockholders."

"Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted," which includes the impact of participating securities in accordance with the two-class method. Includes costs to achieve of $81 million and severance and related benefit costs of $445 million associated with Transform to Outperform.

FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
Teladoc One is a model of care delivered as a single, predictive and adaptive experience to drive better health outcomes and address the rising total cost of care

Multidisciplinary care teams, paired with always-on AI support, deliver and guide every step of care

NEW YORK, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), the pioneer and global leader in virtual care, today announced Teladoc One — a fundamentally new model of virtual care. Teladoc One begins with the person. It addresses the industry's longstanding challenge of fragmented care, where solutions have been built to address one disease at a time rather than dynamically supporting a person's entire health needs.

Teladoc One continuously adapts to each individual, with Teladoc Health care teams delivering and coordinating care across virtual settings and in partnership with a member's trusted local providers. With it, Teladoc Health is advancing a vision in which care is no longer fragmented, but connected, adaptive and deeply accountable for outcomes.

Teladoc One builds on the company’s strong foundation as the nation's largest multi-specialty virtual care practice, with decades of clinical and behavioral data and expertise from delivering more than 100 million visits across primary care, mental health, chronic illness and acute care.

Drawing on the largest unified data ecosystem in virtual healthcare, Teladoc Health's Pulse intelligence engine pairs clinical history with available context from claims, pharmacy, device, medical record, engagement and eligibility data — helping Teladoc Health care teams identify needs earlier, intervene at the right time, improve follow-up, better support specialty referrals and drive better outcomes. Teladoc One is the result of two years rebuilding the technical foundation to bring those assets together.

"Three in four Americans manage at least one chronic disease, driving approximately $4.7 trillion of spending a year — costs that employers and health plans can’t sustain," said Kelly Bliss, President of U.S. Group Health at Teladoc Health. "The industry’s current approach of treating one disease at a time isn’t the answer. Teladoc One changes that. We’ve applied industry-leading intelligence and multidisciplinary care teams to deliver highly personalized care at scale. Importantly for our buyers, Teladoc One raises the bar on accountability, delivering a model that answers to outcomes.”

The average U.S. adult spends eight hours each month coordinating healthcare, the equivalent of a full workday. In addition, the average adult uses six different health-related apps on a regular basis. Teladoc One helps solve this challenge by treating every patient as a population of one. The model supports personalized care pathways, with new capabilities that match patients to the right level of care, optimized for cost and need. As a result, patients don’t have to spend hours deciding what to do and where to go next, and plan sponsors don’t have to buy yet another solution to simply connect patients across their ecosystem. Under the Teladoc One care model, care teams anticipate a patient’s unique needs and deliver or route care appropriately, whether that’s to a Teladoc Health clinician, or a member’s local trusted provider. When in-person care is needed, Teladoc Health care teams don't just refer patients, they actively coordinate it across settings to ensure follow-through.

What's new with Teladoc One

Backed by Teladoc Health's clinical quality and rigor, Teladoc One designs a healthcare ecosystem around the person. Through this model, care adapts to each individual using technology and data. Patients are supported by:

A multidisciplinary virtual care team spanning licensed clinicians, certified health coaches, registered dietitians, mental health therapists and specialists who support every step of care.A human care guide who keeps them on track with their care plan and escalates to other members of the care team as necessary, coordinating with in-network primary care physicians and specialists, exchanging data and ensuring follow-through.Always-on AI support that works in concert with the care team and keeps members supported and engaged between human touchpoints — drawing on a member’s history and preferences to check in, send reminders, help with scheduling and gather information that's surfaced to the human care team.
“Teladoc One represents the next evolution of healthcare, where care is no longer fragmented, but connected, adaptive and more accountable for outcomes,” said Dr. Ethan Berke, Chief Medical Officer at Teladoc Health. "This proactive, always-on model gives us the ability to care for each person holistically in ways we couldn't before."

Teladoc One is designed to deliver superior outcomes, helping improve health while reducing total cost of care through earlier intervention, better coordination and more effective use of clinical resources. Lower total medical costs are driven by smarter medication management, optimized care site selection, avoidance of unnecessary referrals, improved condition control and meaningful reductions in ER visits and hospitalizations.

Teladoc One moves beyond condition-specific programs to deliver personalized, outcome-based, intelligent care journeys, addressing the full spectrum of needs, from prevention to the treatment of complex conditions. As a part of this model, Teladoc Health is placing 100% of its fees at risk, linking payment directly to performance towards achievement of clinical outcome measures and total cost of care improvement for a full population. By aligning program economics with validated cost reductions, Teladoc Health creates a true partnership model with its clients.

Data consistently show that Teladoc Health’s connected care model delivers more value to customers. Teladoc Health’s customers increasingly turn to the company to resolve a wider range of care needs. In fact, 67% of Teladoc Health clients have two or more products — a testament to the growing value of integrated care. Furthermore, a recent study of more than 29,000 Teladoc Health members enrolled in multiple chronic care programs found that when chronic care and mental health are combined, members have significantly greater reduction in blood sugar and more weight loss.

MercadoLibre jedná o vlastní online lékárně v Chile

SANTIAGO, July 23 (Reuters) - E-commerce firm MercadoLibre (MELI.O), opens new tab has discussed a proposal with Chilean authorities to operate as a pharmacy in the country, a plan that would require a change in ​local regulations, records of meetings between the parties showed.

The move would mark the latest step ‌by Uruguay-based MercadoLibre, once primarily a marketplace for external sellers, toward expanding its own retail operations while deepening its push into pharmacies after a similar pilot in Brazil.

MercadoLibre, which operates across Latin America and is one of the region's largest ​firms by market capitalization, met with Chilean officials at least six times in the past year. ​Meeting minutes revealed MercadoLibre's previously unreported plan to operate an in-house and online-only ⁠pharmacy model in Chile.

The plan would expand the firm's Chile operations, where, as in Argentina, Mexico and other markets, ​MercadoLibre currently only sells medication from third-party retailers.

After hearing the plan, Chile's health ministry recommended that MercadoLibre seek ​a technical evaluation from the nation's Public Health Institute (ISP), since the proposal would require regulatory changes or reinterpretations, according to records from a January meeting.

ISP in a written response to a request for comment did not detail whether MercadoLibre had ​requested that evaluation. It said MercadoLibre currently does not have authorization to operate an in-house drugstore in ​Chile, and that current regulations do not allow for the operation of an online-only drugstore.

Chile's health ministry did not ‌respond to ⁠requests for comment.

MercadoLibre said in a statement to Reuters that it was working to gradually expand its health offering, adapting to each market's regulatory framework. It declined to comment specifically on plans in Chile.

As part of a broader long-term business strategy, the firm has increased investment in its in-house retail operations in ​recent quarters, focusing on segments ​such as beauty and ⁠household appliances.

That strategy has pressured margins, causing the stock to tumble almost 11% so far this year to $1,799 each.

In Brazil, its biggest market, MercadoLibre bought a physical drugstore last year ​due to local rules requiring a brick-and-mortar presence for companies selling medicines. ​It began a ⁠pilot there in March selling over-the-counter medicines, promising delivery in an average of up to three hours. It has yet to expand outside of Sao Paulo.

The firm's pitch in Chile also included deliveries in "a few hours ⁠in some ​regions," according to minutes from a meeting in September.

Chile lags ​behind the company's largest markets of Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, but a successful rollout there could serve as a model for expansion ​across Latin America.

CompaniesJuly 23 (Reuters) - Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO.N), opens new tab beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter ​profit and revenue on Thursday, as improving customer demand lifted ‌sales across all its business segments.

Shares of the Waltham, Massachusetts-based company were up more than 5% in premarket trading.

The life sciences tools market has ​shown signs of improvement as biotech and pharmaceutical companies ​increase spending on research and manufacturing after a prolonged ⁠post-pandemic slowdown. Thermo Fisher said customer activity across its markets ​continued to strengthen.

"Our end markets continue to strengthen and we're making ​great progress enhancing our capabilities,” CEO Marc Casper said.

Thermo Fisher’s laboratory products and biopharma services segment, which supports clinical trials and drug manufacturing, posted a ​near 12% rise in revenue to $6.69 billion.

The life-sciences solutions segment, ​which supplies products used in biological research and drug production, recorded an increase ‌of ⁠about 13% in revenue to $2.82 billion.

The company's quarterly revenue grew 10% to $11.99 billion, above analysts' estimate of $11.70 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Peer Danaher (DHR.N), opens new tab also beat quarterly profit estimates and raised ​its annual profit ​outlook. However, it ⁠cut its full-year core revenue growth outlook earlier this week due to weaker respiratory testing revenue, ​and also reported lower-than-expected revenue in its biotechnology business.

The ​results ⁠should reassure investors that end markets for life-sciences tools are turning and that Danaher's bioprocessing order delay was "company-specific" and "not reflective of the industry," ⁠Evercore ISI ​analyst Vijay Kumar said.

Thermo Fisher posted ​second-quarter adjusted earnings of $6.03 per share, above analysts' average estimate of $5.71 per share.

Eli Lilly podá žádost o schválení retatrutidu v 1. čtvrtletí 2027
LLY Eli Lilly & Co
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
Eli Lilly on Thursday said it will file for approval of its next-generation obesity drug in the first quarter of 2027, as the treatment succeeds in two more late-stage trials. 

The pharmaceutical giant previously said it would submit an application as early as this year for the weekly injection, retatrutide, which works differently and appears to be more effective than existing shots and pills. In a statement to CNBC, Lilly said it needs more time to gather and verify the manufacturing and quality-control data required by regulators before it can seek approval.

In two separate phase three trials, retatrutide delivered significant weight loss and improvements in a key measure of blood sugar levels in adults with obesity and two major complications, Type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease. 

Based on the data, the company believes it has the data necessary to file for approval globally for retatrutide as a potential treatment for obesity, knee osteoarthritis pain and obstructive sleep apnea, Kenneth Custer, president of Lilly Cardiometabolic Health, said in a release. 

In one trial, adults with obesity and diabetes taking the drug lost up to an average of 20.8% of their weight, or nearly 50 pounds, at 80 weeks. That population typically struggles to lose weight. 

In another trial, adults with severe obesity and established cardiovascular disease, with or without diabetes, on the treatment lost up to an average of 22.6% of their weight, or 55.8 pounds, at 80 weeks. Retatrutide meaningfully reduced certain cardiovascular risk factors in patients, Lilly added. 

The side effects associated with the drug were consistent across the two trials, as well as previous studies on the treatment. The most common included diarrhea, nausea and constipation, which are also seen across the broader GLP-1 class.

There are now positive results from five late-stage trials on retatrutide, which Lilly is positioning as the next pillar of its obesity portfolio after its injection Zepbound and newly launched pill, Foundayo. In a January note, TD Cowen analysts estimated that retatrutide could rake in sales of $3.8 billion in 2030. 

Retatrutide is also critical to the drugmaker's plan to maintain its market share majority over Novo in the booming market for weight loss and diabetes drugs. Some analysts estimate the segment could be worth about $100 billion by the 2030s. 

Dubbed the "triple G" drug, retatrutide targets GLP-1, GIP and glucagon rather than just one or two of those hormones like existing treatments. That appears to have more potent effects on a person's appetite and satisfaction with food than other treatments.

Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Zepbound, mimics GLP-1 and GIP. Novo Nordisk's semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, mimics only GLP-1.

Collins Aerospace second quarter 2026 reported and adjusted sales* of $8,210 million were up 8 percent versus the prior year. Excluding the impact of divestitures, sales increased 13 percent organically* driven by a 26 percent increase in commercial OE, a 10 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, and a 7 percent increase in defense. The increase in commercial OE sales was driven by higher volume on narrowbody and widebody platforms, and the increase in commercial aftermarket sales was primarily driven by growth in parts and repair and modifications and upgrades. The increase in defense sales was driven by higher volume across multiple programs.

Collins Aerospace reported operating profit of $1,306 million was up 11 percent versus the prior year. Adjusted operating profit* of $1,370 million was up 10 percent versus the prior year. The growth was driven by drop through on higher commercial and defense volume, which was partially offset by defense mix, higher SG&A expense, and the impact of divestitures completed in 2025. Reported operating profit in Q2 2026 included higher restructuring charges associated with cost transformation initiatives.

Pratt & Whitney second quarter reported and adjusted sales* of $8,889 million were up 16 percent versus the prior year. The sales growth was driven by a 25 percent increase in commercial aftermarket and a 23 percent increase in military, partially offset by an 8 percent decrease in commercial OE. The increase in commercial aftermarket was driven by higher volume, while the increase in military sales was driven by higher F135 volume, including the benefit of prior year contract award timing. The decrease in commercial OE sales was driven by large commercial engine mix which more than offset increased large commercial engine deliveries. 

Pratt & Whitney reported operating profit of $738 million was up 50 percent versus the prior year. Q2 2025 reported profit included an approximately $100 million charge related to a customer bankruptcy. Adjusted operating profit* of $740 million was up 22 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and military volume, as well as military mix. This growth was partially offset by increased large commercial engine deliveries, large commercial engine mix, and higher SG&A expense.

Raytheon second quarter reported and adjusted sales* of $8,269 million were up 18 percent versus the prior year. This increase was driven by higher volume on land and air defense systems, naval programs, and air and space defense systems, including Patriot, Standard Missile, and AMRAAM. 

Raytheon reported operating profit of $1,042 million was up 29 percent versus the prior year. Adjusted operating profit* of $1,043 million was up 29 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by higher volume, favorable mix, including Patriot programs, and improved net productivity.

*Adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted segment sales, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), adjusted EPS and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS and expected cash flow from operations) is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure) excluding eliminations and other and net significant and/or non-recurring items.

Adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS)

Adjusted segment operating profit (loss) represents segment operating profit (loss) excluding restructuring costs, and net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted segment operating profit margin percentage represents adjusted segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of adjusted segment sales (adjusted net sales excluding Eliminations and other).

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income represents net income (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments2, and net significant and/or non-recurring items.

Adjusted earnings per share (EPS)

Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments2, and net significant and/or non-recurring items.

Adjusted effective tax rate

Adjusted effective tax rate represents the effective tax rate (a GAAP measure), excluding the tax impact of restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments2, and net significant and/or non-recurring items.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow represents cash flow from operating activities (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing RTX's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of RTX's common stock, and distribution of earnings to shareowners.

1 Net significant and/or non-recurring items represent significant nonoperational items and/or significant operational items that may occur at irregular intervals.

2 Acquisition accounting adjustments include the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, the amortization of the property, plant and equipment fair value adjustment acquired through acquisitions, the amortization of customer contractual obligations related to loss making or below market contracts acquired, and goodwill impairment, if applicable.

3 The FAS/CAS operating adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and postretirement benefit (PRB) expense under the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements of GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) primarily related to our Raytheon segment.

When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted EPS, adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow, on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures, as described above, generally are not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains statements which, to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" under the securities laws. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide RTX Corporation ("RTX") management's current expectations or plans for our future operating and financial performance, based on assumptions currently believed to be valid and are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "expectations," "plans," "strategy," "prospects," "estimate," "project," "target," "anticipate," "will," "should," "see," "guidance," "outlook," "goals," "objectives," "confident," "on track," "designed to," "commit," "commitment" and other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flow, results of operations, uses of cash, share repurchases, tax payments and rates, research and development spending, cost savings, other measures of financial performance, potential future plans, strategies or transactions, credit ratings and net indebtedness, the Pratt powder metal matter and related matters and activities, including without limitation other engine models that may be impacted, targets and commitments (including for share repurchases or otherwise), and other statements which are not solely historical facts. All forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances and other factors that are hard to predict, and each of which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation: (1) changes in economic, capital market, and political conditions in the U.S. and globally; (2) changes in U.S. or foreign government defense spending, national priorities, and policy positions; (3) our performance on our contracts and programs, including our ability to control costs, and our dependence on U.S. government approvals for certain international contracts; (4) challenges in the development, certification, production, delivery, support, and performance of RTX's advanced technologies and new products and services and the realization of anticipated benefits; (5) challenges of operating in RTX's highly-competitive industries both domestically and abroad; (6) our reliance on U.S. and non-U.S. suppliers and commodity markets, including cost increases and disruptions in the delivery of materials and services to RTX or our suppliers; (7) changes in trade policies, implementation of sanctions, imposition of tariffs (and counter-tariffs), and other trade measures and restrictions, foreign currency fluctuations, and sales methods; (8) the economic condition of the aerospace industry; (9) the ability of RTX to attract, train, qualify, and retain qualified personnel and maintain its culture and high ethical standards, and the ability of our personnel to continue to operate our facilities and businesses around the world; (10) the scope, nature, timing, and challenges of managing and completing acquisitions, investments, divestitures, and other transactions; (11) compliance with legal, environmental, regulatory, and other requirements in the U.S. and other countries in which RTX and its businesses operate; (12) pending, threatened, and future legal proceedings, investigations, audits, and other contingencies; (13) the previously-disclosed deferred prosecution agreements entered into between the Company and the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) administrative order imposed on the Company, and the related investigations by the SEC and DOJ, and the consent agreement between the Company and the Department of State; (14) RTX's ability to engage in desirable capital-raising or strategic transactions; (15) repurchases by RTX of its common stock, or declarations of cash dividends, which may be discontinued, accelerated, suspended, or delayed at any time due to various factors; (16) realizing expected benefits from, incurring costs for, and successfully managing strategic initiatives such as cost reduction, restructuring, digital transformation, and other operational initiatives; (17) additional tax exposures due to new tax legislation or other developments in the U.S. and other countries in which RTX and its businesses operate; (18) the identified rare condition in powder metal used to manufacture certain Pratt & Whitney engine parts requiring accelerated removals and inspections of a significant portion of the PW1100G-JM Geared Turbofan (GTF) fleet; (19) changes in production volumes of one or more of our significant customers as a result of business, labor, or other challenges, and the resulting effect on its or their demand for our products and services; (20) an RTX product safety failure, quality issue, or other failure affecting RTX's or its customers' or suppliers' products or systems; (21) cybersecurity, including cyber-attacks on RTX's information technology infrastructure, products, suppliers, customers and partners, and cybersecurity-related regulations; (22) insufficient indemnity or insurance coverage; (23) our intellectual property and certain third-party intellectual property; (24) threats to RTX facilities and personnel, or those of its suppliers or customers, as well as public health crises, damaging weather, acts of nature, or other similar events outside of RTX's control that may affect RTX or its suppliers or customers; (25) changes in accounting estimates for our programs on our financial results; (26) changes in pension and other postretirement plan estimates and assumptions and contributions; (27) an impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets; and (28) climate change and climate-related regulations, and any related customer and market demands, products and technologies. For additional information on identifying factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, see the reports of RTX filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and RTX assumes no obligation to update or revise such statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Description

Segment and portfolio transformation and divestiture costs

The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 include separation costs incurred in advance of the completion of certain divestitures.

Customer bankruptcy

The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 include a net pre-tax charge of approximately $0.1 billion related to a customer bankruptcy at Pratt & Whitney. The charge primarily relates to contract asset exposures with a customer. Management has determined that the nature and significance of the charge is considered unusual and, therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Gain on investment

The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 and quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, include a pre-tax gain of $70 million and $41 million, respectively, related to the increase in fair value on an investment. Management has determined that the nature of the gain on investment to be significant and non-operational, and, therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Tax audit settlements and closures

The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 include a tax benefit of $59 million and a pre-tax benefit on the reversal of $54 million of interest accruals both recognized as a result of the closure of the examination phase of multiple state tax audits. In addition, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, there was a tax benefit of $33 million and a net pre-tax benefit of $6 million from the

reversal of interest accruals and the write-off of certain tax related indemnity receivables associated

with the closure of a federal tax audit.

Litigation matter

The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 include a pre-tax charge of  $69 million related to a litigation matter. Management considers this charge non-operational and directly attributable to the litigation matter and, therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

International tax matter

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded the impact of an unfavorable decision related to an international tax matter for the years ended December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019, resulting in interest expense, net of $35 million and a tax benefit of $8 million. Management has determined that the nature of this impact related to the tax matter is considered significant and non-operational, and, therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Sales increase of 11% to $20.1 billion Net earnings of $1.8 billion, or $7.94 per share Cash from operations of $3.2 billion and free cash flow of $2.9 billion Record backlog of $230 billion, inclusive of the multi-year contract to produce THAAD interceptors Updates 2026 financial outlook , /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT) today reported second quarter 2026 sales of $20.1 billion, compared to $18.2 billion in the second quarter of 2025. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2026 were $1.8 billion, or $7.94 per share, compared to $342 million, or $1.46 per share, including $1.6 billion of program losses and $169 million of other charges, in the second quarter of 2025. Cash from operations was $3.2 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $201 million in the second quarter of 2025. Free cash flow was $2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $(150) million in the second quarter of 2025.

"We delivered strong second‑quarter performance, with over $20 billion in sales – a year‑over‑year increase of 11% – free cash flow of $2.9 billion, and $65 billion of new orders, which takes our backlog to a record $230 billion. This continued performance reflects more than just increased customer demand – it is evidence that our 21st Century Security® strategy, and its focus on integration, partnerships and operational excellence is working, resulting in increased business, and advancing the security needs of our nation and allies. We are delivering on our strategy, achieving a higher trajectory for our business and giving us confidence to raise our full year financial guidance. We now anticipate accelerated year‑over‑year sales growth of approximately 8%, driving 28% higher segment operating profit, and increased free cash flow, now projected to be over $7 billion," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet.

"These results are powered by consistent performance on the commitments we've made and by our investments to support the missions our customers will face next. Over the quarter, we took a major step forward in transforming munitions production, putting the framework agreements we announced earlier this year into action by signing a $35 billion multi-year contract with the Missile Defense Agency for THAAD. We continue to innovate at the speed our customers' missions demand, taking our Sanctum counter-drone system from concept to successful live fire testing in just 45 days by combining a battle manager, radar, launcher, and combat-proven missile into one engagement chain. And, we are investing strategically to strengthen global defense manufacturing capabilities through our collaboration with General Motors Defense in the U.S. and our agreement with Rheinmetall to co-produce ATACMS in Europe."

Other, net for the quarters ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025 included net gains of $36 million ($27 million, or $0.12 per share, after-tax)
and $18 million ($14 million,or $0.06 per share, after tax) due to changes in fair value of net assets and liabilities for deferred compensation plans.

Sales: Second quarter 2026 sales increased $1.9 billion, or 11%, driven by growth across all segments reflecting increased volume and munitions ramps.

Consolidated Operating Profit: Second quarter 2026 consolidated operating profit increased $1.7 billion largely driven by combined prior year reach-forward losses of $1.6 billion on a classified program at Aeronautics, and on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) and the Turkish Utility Helicopter Program (TUHP) at Rotary and Mission Systems; prior year write-off of $66 million for fixed assets; and a $43 million increase in the FAS/CAS operating adjustment.

Business Segment Operating Profit: Second quarter 2026 business segment operating profit increased $1.6 billion due to the prior year reach-forward losses described above and munition ramps at Missiles and Fire Control.

Net Earnings and Diluted EPS: Second quarter 2026 net earnings increased $1.5 billion and diluted earnings per share increased $6.48 primarily due to higher consolidated operating profit of $1.7 billion described above, partially offset by a $267 million increase in income tax expense.

Cash Flows: Second quarter 2026 cash from operations and free cash flows increased $3.0 billion primarily due to the timing of customer receipts and lower tax payments. The company's cash activities during the second quarter of 2026 included capital expenditures of $318 million and independent research and development of $558 million.

Second quarter 2026 sales increased $692 million, or 9%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of $475 million on the F‑35 program as a result of higher volume on production contracts, and $360 million due to the sales impact of the reach-forward loss recognized on a classified contract in 2025. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of $120 million on F-16 and C-130 programs due to lower volume on sustainment contracts.

Second quarter 2026 operating profit increased $858 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was attributable to the $950 million reach-forward loss recognized on a classified contract in 2025, and higher sales volume on F-35 production contracts. The increases were partially offset by $160 million of lower net favorable profit adjustments across the portfolio.

Second quarter 2026 sales increased $668 million, or 19%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $560 million on integrated air and missile defense programs due to production ramps (PAC-3 and THAAD), and $100 million on tactical and strike missile programs due to production ramps (Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)).

Second quarter 2026 operating profit increased $115 million, or 24%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volume previously described, and $60 million due to higher net favorable profit adjustments.

Second quarter 2026 sales increased $359 million, or 9%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was attributable to higher sales of $255 million on Sikorsky helicopter programs due to the sales impact of the reach-forward loss recognized on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) and the Türkish Utility Helicopter Program (TUHP) in 2025, and $115 million on Mission Integrated Command & Control (MIC2) programs due to higher volume on undersea combat systems programs and the River Class Destroyer program.

Second quarter 2026 operating profit increased $609 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was attributable to the $570 million reach-forward loss recognized on the CMHP program and the $95 million reach-forward loss recognized on the TUHP program in 2025. This increase was offset by unfavorable profit adjustments of $65 million on Heavy Lift and $50 million on Seahawk programs, partially offset by higher net favorable profit adjustments across the portfolio.

Second quarter 2026 sales increased $189 million, or 6%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $190 million on strategic and missile defense programs due to increased volume (Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) and Next Generation Interceptor (NGI)).

Second quarter 2026 operating profit was comparable to the second quarter of 2025.

Income Taxes

The company's effective income tax rates were 15.7% and 18.0% for the quarters ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025. The lower effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 28, 2026 was primarily attributable to lower interest expense on the company's uncertain tax position and the reach-forward losses recognized in 2025. The rates for all periods benefited from the tax deductions for foreign derived deduction eligible income, research and development tax credits, dividends paid to the company's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature and employee equity awards.

On February 18, 2026, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued Notice 2026-7 (the Notice) providing additional interim guidance regarding the application of the CAMT. As a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Tax Act) and the Notice, the company is no longer subject to CAMT this year and expects to make reduced federal income tax payments for 2026.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains the following non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures (as defined by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation G). While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating the financial performance of the company, this information should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's definitions for non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies or analysts.

Business segment operating profit

Business segment operating profit represents operating profit from the company's business segments before unallocated income and expense. This measure is used by the company's senior management in evaluating the performance of its business segments and is a performance goal in the company's annual incentive plan. Business segment operating margin is calculated by dividing business segment operating profit by sales. The table below reconciles the non-GAAP measure business segment operating profit with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, consolidated operating profit.

and excludes non-service FAS pension expense. Refer to the supplemental table "Selected Financial Data"

Free cash flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that the company defines as cash from operations less capital expenditures. The company's capital expenditures are comprised of equipment and facilities infrastructure and information technology (inclusive of costs for the development or purchase of internal-use software that are capitalized). The company uses free cash flow to evaluate its business performance and overall liquidity. While management believes that free cash flow as a non-GAAP financial measure may be useful in evaluating the company's financial performance, it should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and are based on Lockheed Martin's current expectations and assumptions. The words "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "project," "intend," "expect," "plan," "outlook," "scheduled," "forecast" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially due to factors such as:

the company's reliance on contracts with the U.S. Government, which are dependent on U.S. Government funding and can be terminated for convenience, and the company's ability to negotiate favorable contract terms; budget uncertainty, the risk of future budget cuts, the impact of continuing resolution funding mechanisms, the debt ceiling and government shutdowns, and changing funding and acquisition priorities; risks related to the development, production, sustainment, performance, schedule, cost and requirements of complex and technologically advanced programs, including the F-35 program; the timing of contract awards or contract definitization, decisions by government customers to impose contract terms following undefinitized contract actions, achievement of performance milestones, customer acceptance of product deliveries, and receipt of customer payments; the company's ability to recover costs under U.S. Government contracts, the mix of fixed-price and cost-reimbursable contracts and the risks inherent in preparing estimates for fixed-price contracts (particularly for complex and technologically advanced programs); customer procurement and other policies, laws, regulations and executive actions that affect the company and its industry, programs, future opportunities, and financial performance, including those relating to mission priorities, competing domestic and international spending, contracting terms (such as fixed-price requirements), acquisition process reforms, treatment of contractor performance issues, and contractor access to competitive opportunities; planned production rates and orders for significant programs, compliance with stringent performance and reliability standards, and materials availability, including government furnished equipment and rare earth minerals; performance and/or financial viability of key suppliers, teammates, joint ventures (including United Launch Alliance, for which the company has provided and expects to provide additional financial guarantees), joint venture partners, subcontractors and customers; changes in economic, capital market and political conditions in the U.S. and globally; the impact of inflation and other cost pressures; government actions that restrict or prevent the sale or delivery of the company's products (such as delays in approvals for exports requiring Congressional notification); foreign policy and international trade actions taken by governments such as tariffs, sanctions, embargoes, export and import controls, buying preferences, and other trade restrictions; the company's success expanding into and doing business in adjacent markets and internationally and the risks posed by international sales, including potential effects from fluctuations in currency exchange rates; changes in non-U.S. national priorities and government budgets and planned orders; the competitive environment for the company's products and services; the company's ability to develop and commercialize new technologies and products, including emerging digital and network technologies and capabilities; the company's ability to benefit fully from or adequately protect its intellectual property rights; the company's ability to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce and the impact of work stoppages or other labor disruptions; cyber or other security threats or other disruptions faced by the company or its suppliers; the company's ability to implement and continue, and the timing and impact of, capitalization changes such as share repurchases, dividend payments and financing transactions, including as a result of presidential executive orders; the accuracy of the company's estimates and projections; changes in pension plan assumptions and actual returns on pension assets; cash funding requirements and pension annuity contracts and associated charges; realizing the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or divestitures, investments, joint ventures, teaming arrangements or internal reorganizations, and market volatility affecting the fair value of investments that are marked to market; the satisfaction of conditions to (including regulatory approvals) and consummation of the company's announced acquisition of Ultra Maritime, if at all, the timing and terms of any financing for such acquisition and the impact thereof on its indebtedness and capital allocation, its ability to successfully integrate the Ultra Maritime business and realize synergies and other expected benefits of the transaction and the potential for disruption to its or Ultra Maritime's business, customer and supplier relationships, and retention of key personnel during the pendency of the transaction; the company's efforts to fund and increase production capabilities and the efficiency of its operations and improve the affordability of its products and services, including through digital transformation and cost reduction initiatives; the risk of an impairment of the company's assets, including the potential impairment of goodwill and intangibles; the availability and adequacy of the company's insurance and indemnities; compliance with laws, regulations, policies, and customer requirements relating to environmental matters; the impact of public health crises, natural disasters and other severe weather conditions on the company's business and financial results, including supply chain disruptions and delays, employee absences, and program delays; changes in accounting, U.S. or foreign tax, export or other laws, regulations, and policies and their interpretation or application, and changes in the amount or reevaluation of uncertain tax positions; and the outcome of legal proceedings, bid protests, environmental remediation efforts, audits, administrative reviews, government investigations or government allegations that the company has failed to comply with law, other contingencies and U.S. Government identification of deficiencies in its business systems. These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this news release. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see the company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The company's filings may be accessed through the Investor Relations page of its website, www.lockheedmartin.com/investor, or through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Calendar quarters are typically comprised of 13 weeks. However, the company closes its books and records on the last Sunday of each month, except for the month of Dec., as its fiscal year ends on Dec. 31. As a result, the number of weeks in a reporting quarter may vary slightly during the year and for comparable prior year periods.

Broadcom News Summary Here are the key news stories impacting Broadcom this week:

Positive Sentiment: Broadcom is seen as a beneficiary of a new cloud deal, which could support future growth and reinforce its position in AI and cloud infrastructure. Broadcom stands to gain from new cloud deal Positive Sentiment: Analysts and bullish commentators continue to highlight Broadcom’s AI exposure, dividend income, and its VCF software business as a growing earnings driver, suggesting more upside if enterprise demand stays strong. VCF is Becoming Broadcom’s Growth Engine: More Upside Ahead? Positive Sentiment: Broader chip-sector momentum and renewed interest in AI-linked semiconductor names are helping lift Broadcom alongside peers, with UBS saying the recent selloff may be nearing exhaustion. UBS sees Broadcom, Sandisk, Oracle stocks rebounding: here’s why Positive Sentiment: Several market pieces also argue Broadcom remains attractive at record highs because of strong cash generation and long-term execution under CEO Hock Tan. Cash is Always King Which is Why I Will Not Stop Adding Broadcom Neutral Sentiment: Some coverage simply notes Broadcom’s continued strength relative to the broader market, while other articles focus on the company as a core AI and dividend holding rather than on a fresh catalyst.

Raising Full-Year Net Sales and EPS guidance

, /PRNewswire/ -- West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (NYSE: WST), a leading provider of innovative, high-quality injectable solutions and services, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

Second-Quarter Summary (comparisons to prior-year period)

Net sales of $872.3 million increased 13.8%; organic growth was 12.7%. Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $2.15 increased 18.1%. Adjusted-diluted EPS of $2.37 increased 28.8%. Operating cash flow was $213.9 million. Capital expenditures were $85.9 million. Free cash flow (defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures) was $128.0 million. During the first six months of 2026, the Company repurchased 1.8 million shares for $454.3 million at an average price of $258.03 per share under its share repurchase program that was announced in mid-February 2026. The Company also announced on July 21, 2026 that its Board of Directors declared a third-quarter 2026 dividend of $0.22 per share. Outlook for Full-Year and Third-Quarter 2026

Full-year 2026 net sales are expected to be in the range of $3.345 billion to $3.380 billion, up 8.8% to 10.0% reported and up 10.0% to 11.0% organic. Full-year 2026 adjusted-diluted EPS guidance increased to a range of $8.85 to $9.05. Third-quarter 2026 net sales are expected to be in the range of $820 million to $835 million, up 1.9% to 3.8% reported and up 7.0% to 8.9% organic. Third-quarter 2026 adjusted-diluted EPS guidance is expected to be in the range of $2.14 to $2.24. Eric M. Green, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board, commented: "I am pleased to report strong second-quarter results, with net sales and adjusted EPS exceeding our expectations. Net sales increased 12.7% organically, driven by our High Value Product Components business which benefited from continued strength in Biologics, a favorable mix shift from HVP upgrades including Annex 1, and ongoing growth in GLP-1 elastomers.  The robust sales growth drove strong operating income margin expansion as compared to prior year. As a result of our team's strong execution in the second quarter and improved outlook, we are increasing our full-year 2026 guidance."

Net sales of $722.6 million grew by 16.6% and increased 15.5% on an organic basis.

These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding these risks as well as other risks, uncertainties and factors that could affect our forward-looking statements, please refer to Part I Item 1A, entitled "Risk Factors," of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any amendments thereto, as well as the Company's most recently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). However, management also uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures in evaluating our results of operations. Management believes that this information provides users with a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position. As a result, this release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including organic net sales, adjusted-diluted EPS and adjusted operating profit. Organic net sales exclude the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures and translate the current-period reported sales of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar at the applicable foreign currency exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period. We may also refer to financial results, such as adjusted-diluted EPS and adjusted operating profit, that exclude the effects of unallocated items. The unallocated items are not representative of ongoing operations, and generally include restructuring and related charges, certain asset impairments, and other specifically identified income or expense items. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures is included in the accompanying tables.

Key Takeaways Analysts are raising earnings estimates on Expeditors International ahead of Q2 results.The Zacks Consensus is looking for earnings to jump 13.3% in 2026.Expeditors International has a $3 billion share repurchase program and pays a dividend. Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (EXPD - Free Report) is expected to grow earnings by the double digits in 2026 as logistics heats up. Analysts are raising earnings estimates on this Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) even before it reports Q2 earnings in August 2026.

Expeditors International of Washington is a global logistics company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. It has 171 district offices and numerous branch locations across six continents.

Services include consolidation or forwarding of air and ocean freight, customs brokerage, vendor consolidation, time-definite transportation, cargo insurance, order management, customized logistics solutions, and warehousing and distribution.

Expeditors International Expands its Aircraft on Ground (AOG) CapabilitiesOn July 20, 2026, Expeditors International of Washington announced it was expanding its global Aircraft on Ground (AOG) capabilities by bringing together logistics teams, 24/7/365 support centers and access to the company’s global network for those customers facing urgent operational disruptions.

The AOG product supports airlines, aircraft manufacturers, maintenance, repair and overhaul organizations, aerospace suppliers, defense customers, advanced air mobility providers, and others who are in the aviation industry.

This comes at a time when there is a need for specialized support during unexpected aircraft downtime, critical parts shortages, and unplanned maintenance events, as well as other operational challenges. The global air fleet is aging and requires more support.

Analysts Bullish on Expeditors International’s Earnings for Q2 2026 and FY2026Expeditors will report second quarter 2026 earnings on Aug 4, 2026. But the analysts are getting bullish ahead of the report.

One estimate has been raised for the second quarter in the last week, pushing the Zacks Consensus Estimate up to $1.68 from $1.64. This is earnings growth of 25.4% as Expeditors only made $1.34 last year.

It has beat on earnings nine quarters in a row.

For the full year, analysts are bullish as well. One estimate is higher in the last seven days, with four higher in the last month for 2026. The 2026 Zacks Consensus Estimate has jumped to $6.74 from $6.66 in the last month.

But the most accurate estimate for the full year is looking for $6.85, which is $0.09 higher than the consensus.

This is 13.3% earnings growth year-over-year as Expeditors made $5.95 in 2025.

Shares of Expeditors International Near 52-Week HighsThe shares have busted out to new 5-year and 52-week highs as the earnings picture has improved.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Expeditors International isn’t cheap, however. It trades with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 26.5. A P/E of 15 or under usually indicates value. But investors would be buying Expeditors for its growth.

It is shareholder friendly. In Feb 2026, the Board of Directors authorized a new $3 billion share repurchase program. It is also a dividend aristocrat and pays a dividend yielding 0.9%.

Since 2024, Expeditors International has returned nearly $2 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.

Logistic services are heating up again. For those looking for a way to get in on this trade, Expeditors International of Washington should be on your short list.

New capabilities will help 20% more customers with complex or chronic health needs access personalized clinical support earlier, reducing medical costs by $200M over three years

, /PRNewswire/ -- Cigna Healthcare®, the health benefits division of The Cigna Group (NYSE: CI), is significantly expanding its personalized care management programs through AI-enabled capabilities and predictive analytics that help identify customers who would benefit from earlier support and connect them with clinicians. The expansion will support 20% more customers with emerging, complex or chronic health needs – including cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, high-risk pregnancy, and behavioral health conditions.

AI-enabled capacities identify opportunities for personalized outreach and support, while experienced clinicians provide the guidance, care coordination, and expertise needed to help customers navigate their health journey with confidence. More than 1,250 Cigna Healthcare clinicians, including nurses and behavioral health specialists, guide customers as they navigate care, coordinate with multiple providers, and access additional resources. Through these new capabilities, clinicians will help customers address health needs earlier and manage conditions more effectively – reducing medical costs for engaged customers by $2,000 per year on average, resulting in an estimated $200 million in total savings over the next three years.

"As costs for hospital care, emergency services, and prescription drugs continue to rise, we are investing in tools and clinical programs that help customers avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, better manage chronic conditions, and reduce the likelihood of more serious and expensive health events later," said Bryan Holgerson, President, Cigna Healthcare U.S. and Executive Vice President, Customer Health Outcomes, The Cigna Group. "By combining predictive analytics, AI-enabled capabilities, and clinical expertise, we can identify health needs earlier and connect more customers with personalized support when it has the greatest impact."

Cigna Healthcare's care management programs have demonstrated meaningful results:

95% customer satisfaction among surveyed customers A 42% reduction in avoidable inpatient stays among customers who engage early with care management support Earlier identification of likely breast, colorectal, and lung cancer diagnoses by approximately 55, 46, and 37 days, respectively 72% of customers achieving clinically meaningful improvement in depression symptoms when connected to high-quality behavioral health providers "Health care can be difficult to navigate, especially when someone is facing a new diagnosis or complex condition. Our goal is to make it easier for customers to connect with an experienced Cigna Healthcare clinician who can help them understand their options and make the most of the support available through their health plan," said Dr. Stanley Crittenden, Chief Medical Officer, Cigna Healthcare. "With earlier guidance, we can help customers get the right care at the right time and avoid more serious and costly health complications." 

How These Enhancements Improve Customer Experience 
These AI-enabled capabilities help Cigna Healthcare identify opportunities to provide support earlier, personalize engagement, and connect more customers with experienced clinicians.

Earlier Identification of Support Opportunities: Advanced predictive models and AI-enabled insights help identify emerging health needs sooner, creating more opportunities to engage customers before a condition becomes more serious. More Personalized Engagement: Customers can connect with clinicians through the channels they prefer, including phone, text, email, and digital tools. These interactions create more opportunities to provide guidance, answer questions, and support healthier outcomes. Greater Access to Expert Clinical Support: AI-enabled capabilities help identify and prioritize engagement opportunities, allowing clinicians to focus more time on helping customers understand their options, coordinate care, and access resources. This work advances the company's commitments to create more connected, personalized health care experiences and complements services such as My Personal Champion, which helps customers navigate the administrative challenges that often accompany complex health conditions, including prior authorizations, claims, and continuity of care.

Broader AI adoption improves productivity across asset recovery and enterprise operations

, /PRNewswire/ -- Yiren Digital Ltd. (NYSE: YRD) ("Yiren Digital" or the "Company"), a leading company specializing in financial technology and artificial intelligence innovation across multiple industries in China and global markets, today announced measurable operating efficiency improvements as it continues to deploy AI agents across core enterprise workflows. Broader AI adoption is reducing manual intervention, increasing workforce productivity and creating greater operating leverage by automating high-volume processes across multiple business functions.

These deployments are a key component of Yiren Digital's "All-in-AI" strategy and its broader transition from AI-assisted productivity toward agent-driven execution. By embedding AI agents into core workflows, the Company is creating reusable operating capabilities that can be deployed across its businesses, supporting greater efficiency and reducing the cost of extending automation into new functions.

"Our objective is not simply to automate individual tasks, but to fundamentally improve how work is performed across the enterprise," said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yiren Digital. "As AI agents take on more of our high-volume, demanding workflows, the productivity gains are becoming a structural part of how we run the business, not a one-time efficiency project. We will continue to deepen AI integration across our existing businesses while extending reusable capabilities into additional verticals."

The AI deployments are supported by the Company's proprietary enterprise AI architecture, including MagiCube 2.0, its upgraded multi-agent platform. The platform provides common infrastructure for agents deployed across marketing, customer service, capital operations, risk management, compliance and research and development, with more than 10 reusable foundational capabilities, supporting enterprise-wide execution.

Measurable Operating Impact

Lower manual intervention: The human handling rate in asset-recovery operations decreased from 45.0% to 24.9%, representing a 20.1-percentage-point decline, an approximately 44.6% relative reduction in manual intervention.

Higher staff productivity: The number of service tickets handled per asset-recovery staff member within the applicable Month 1 workflow increased from 358 to 525, an improvement of approximately 47%.

Expanded agent adoption: AI agents accounted for 81% of service tickets within eligible Day 1 asset-recovery workflows in 2025, up from 50% in 2024. The Company also deployed AI agents selectively in later-stage workflows, accounting for 20% of eligible service tickets at Day 4, 14% at Day 16 and 20% at Month 2. Each percentage is calculated separately for the relevant stage and should not be interpreted as a sequential adoption trend.

Enterprise-wide reuse: MagiCube 2.0 supports agent deployment across six enterprise functions, allowing the Company to apply common AI capabilities to a broader range of regulated and high-volume workflows.

Enterprise-scale AI execution: The Fengchao AI voice agent processes approximately 1,500 hours of real-time speech-to-text activity each day. The LingShu intelligent marketing platform executes more than 1,700 tasks daily and generates individualized communication content in an average of 0.6 seconds.

Building Enterprise Operating Leverage Through AI

As AI deployment expands across the enterprise, Yiren Digital is increasingly shifting repetitive, high-volume tasks from human-assisted processes toward agent-driven execution. By combining AI agents with centralized orchestration and governance, the Company is improving operating consistency, strengthening workforce productivity and creating reusable capabilities that increase operating leverage as AI is deployed across additional business functions.

Yiren Digital plans to continue expanding agent-driven workflows across its credit and insurance operations, as part of its ongoing All-in-AI strategy, while strengthening the shared architecture and governance that support enterprise-wide AI deployment. These capabilities are designed to scale across multiple use cases and provide a foundation for the Company's broader expansion into AI application-layer opportunities, including AI entertainment and AI-assisted language learning.

About Yiren Digital

Yiren Digital Ltd. is a leading company specializing in financial technology and artificial intelligence innovation across multiple industries in China and global markets. The Company leverages advanced artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to enhance customer experience, optimize capital efficiency, and expand financial inclusion. Following the regulatory filing of its in-house developed Large Language Model Zhiyu, and the significant enhancement of its MagiCube Agent platform, Yiren Digital is establishing a new growth engine to accelerate its evolution into an AI-native, multi-industry operating platform extending beyond traditional financial services.

Berkshire těží z boomu umělé inteligence díky poptávce po elektřině
BRK-B Berkshire Hathaway (B)
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Warren Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB -0.05%) by avoiding things he did not understand, and for the most part, that has kept the company on the sidelines of the AI stock frenzy.

Yet Berkshire may have more AI exposure than it appears, and it comes from an unlikely place: not a chipmaker, but one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Berkshire Hathaway Energy. This sprawling collection of regulated utilities is quietly turning into a backdoor winner of the artificial intelligence boom.

Image source: Getty Images.

How a utility becomes an AI winner The connection is simple once you see it. AI data centers are astonishingly hungry for electricity, and someone has to generate and deliver that power. Berkshire Hathaway Energy owns utilities across the country, including MidAmerican in Iowa, NV Energy in Nevada, and PacifiCorp in the West, and they are watching demand surge.

In Iowa, a cluster of mega data centers now accounts for roughly 8% of peak electricity load, and management expects data center consumption to keep climbing for years.

Here is why that matters for profits. Regulated utilities make money in two reinforcing ways. They sell more electricity as demand rises, and, more importantly, they earn a regulated return on the capital they invest to serve that demand. Berkshire Hathaway Energy is in the middle of a roughly $34 billion capital plan to build out generation, storage, and transmission, and every dollar of approved investment becomes a base on which it earns steady profits for decades.

Berkshire's own CEO, Greg Abel, who ran this business, told shareholders that about half of its energy operations are now addressing AI-related power needs. That is a striking statement for a company usually associated with power lines and pipelines, not silicon.

Some things to consider I would keep expectations measured. Utilities grow slowly and swallow enormous amounts of capital, and their returns depend on regulators approving rate increases, which is never guaranteed. Berkshire Hathaway Energy also carries real liabilities, including wildfire exposure at PacifiCorp that has cost it dearly. And because Berkshire is so vast, even a thriving energy unit will not move the overall stock the way a hot chip stock might. This is a slow, steady contributor, not a moonshot.

The lesson here is that AI's beneficiaries extend far beyond the obvious names. Berkshire may have barely touched AI stocks, but through Berkshire Hathaway Energy it owns a genuine stake in the electricity boom powering the entire movement. For shareholders, it is a reminder that Berkshire's famous caution does not mean missing the trend entirely. Sometimes the smartest AI exposure is not in the chips at all, but in the unglamorous business of keeping them running.

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstCash Holdings, Inc. (“FirstCash” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FCFS), the leading international operator of more than 3,300 retail pawn stores, today announced record revenue and earnings results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026. The Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.42 per share, which will be paid in August 2026. In addition, the Company has completed its previous $150 million share repurchase plan and the Board of Directors authorized a new $150 million share repurchase plan.

Mr. Rick Wessel, chief executive officer, stated, “FirstCash achieved record second quarter and year-to-date results, with revenue increases of 29% for the quarter and 28% year-to-date, driving exceptional growth in net income, EBITDA and earnings per share. Pawn demand remains extremely robust, with consolidated pawn receivables up 63% in total and 22% on a same-store basis over the prior year. We are again raising consolidated full year pawn revenue guidance given our second quarter results and continuing demand for pawn products and our deep-value retail sales model.

“The Company expects to complete its previously announced acquisition of Ramsdens Holdings plc (“Ramsdens”) by the end of 2026, subject to the approval of Ramsdens’ shareholders, receipt of the required anti-trust and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions. Ramsdens is a leading operator of pawn stores in the U.K. with 174 locations that will expand FirstCash’s geographic footprint in the U.K. to more than 450 locations. We also expect to see additional 2026 store expansion opportunities across each of our major geographic markets through acquisitions and new store openings.

“Additionally, during the second quarter, FirstCash successfully completed a $750 million bond offering and used the proceeds to pay down a significant portion of the revolving credit facility and to provide additional long-term funding capacity for further expansion of pawn operations and shareholder returns,” concluded Mr. Wessel.

American First Finance (AFF) - Retail POS Payment Solutions Segment Operating Results

Second quarter segment pre-tax operating income totaled $29 million. This represented a sequential increase over the first quarter of 2026 but an expected decrease compared to the second quarter of 2025, due primarily to loss of earnings from previously reported merchant partner bankruptcies. Year-to-date segment pre-tax operating income totaled $55 million.Gross transaction volume of lease and loan originations during the second quarter decreased 14% compared to the prior-year quarter, due primarily to continued weakness in the furniture industry coupled with an increased strategic focus on merchant quality. For the year-to-date period, overall gross transaction volume decreased 6% over the prior-year period.Net revenues in the second quarter decreased 15% compared to the prior-year quarter, representing a sequential improvement over the first quarter, while year-to-date decreased 26% compared to the prior-year period.The second quarter combined average monthly net charge-off rate for lease and finance products was 5.2%, which represented sequential improvement compared to 5.6% in the first quarter, and was consistent with the prior-year quarter. Cash Flow and Liquidity

In May 2026, the Company successfully completed an offering of $750 million of 6.125% senior unsecured notes due in 2034.

Future share repurchases are subject to expected liquidity, acquisition and other investment opportunities, debt covenant restrictions, market conditions and other relevant factors.Over the past twelve months, the Company has repurchased 1,005,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $180.96 per share for a total cost of $182 million and paid out $74 million in cash dividends, representing a payout ratio of approximately 66% of net income over the same period.The Company generated a 17% return on equity and an 8% return on assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026. Using adjusted net income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, the adjusted return on equity was 20% while the adjusted return on assets was 9%. 2026 Outlook

The outlook for the remainder of 2026 continues to be highly positive as the Company is again raising its overall expectations for year-over-year growth in consolidated pawn segment revenue. While the acquisition of Ramsdens and other prospective and in-process acquisitions are anticipated to close by the end of 2026, the estimates provided below do not include revenue and earnings contributions from such potential acquisitions.

Pawn Operations:

Pawn operations remain the primary earnings driver as the Company expects the combined U.S., Latin America and U.K. pawn segments to be over 90% of total net revenue and segment level pre-tax income for 2026.

U.S. Pawn

Pawn fees in the first half of 2026 were up 14% compared to a year ago. The Company continues to see strong results in July and expects mid-teen or better growth in pawn fees in second half and full year 2026.The Company expects retail merchandise sales to grow in a range of 10% to 15% in 2026 and will continue to target retail margins in a range of 42% to 43%. Additionally, the Company continues to anticipate increased gross profit from scrap jewelry sales.Store operating expenses are projected to grow at a mid-to-high single-digit range in 2026, primarily due to increased variable compensation expense and the significant 2025 store additions. Latin America Pawn

Pawn fees in the first half of 2026 were up 21% on a constant currency basis and 37% on a U.S. dollar basis due to a 13% favorable change in the peso exchange rate compared to the same period last year. The Company expects approximately 20% growth in pawn fees on a U.S. dollar basis in the second half of 2026, assuming an exchange rate equal to the first half of 2026.The Company expects second half retail merchandise sales to grow in a mid 20% range on a U.S. dollar basis, assuming an exchange rate equal to the first half of 2026, with consistent retail margins of approximately 35%. Similar to the U.S., Latin America expects a year-over-year increase in gross profit from scrap jewelry sales.Combined with increased store counts and increased variable compensation expense, operating expenses are expected to grow at a rate in the mid-teens on a U.S. dollar basis. U.K. Pawn

Based on first half of 2026 performance and increased full year revenue projections, 2026 segment income (before administrative expenses, interest expense and taxes) is now expected to be in a range of $135 million to $140 million assuming the current GBP exchange rate. Retail POS Payment Solutions (AFF) Operations:

Given continued softness in furniture and other large-ticket retail sales, gross transaction volumes for lease and loan originations for 2026 are now forecast to be down approximately 10% compared to 2025.Net revenue (after depreciation of leased merchandise and lease and loan loss provisioning) is expected to decrease in a range of 20% to 25% for the full year. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in net revenue from the American Freight and Conn’s portfolios as a result of their bankruptcies at the end of 2024 and the expected decline in 2026 originations. Other Expenses, Tax Rates and Currency:

Corporate administrative expenses for the remainder of 2026 are expected to remain at a run rate which is similar to the first and second quarters of 2026, while interest expense is expected to increase for full year 2026 in a range of 15% to 20% over 2025 assuming current interest rates.The full year 2026 consolidated effective income tax rate is expected to range from 26% to 27% of net income.Each full point change in the exchange rate of the Mexican peso is projected to have an annual earnings impact of approximately $0.10 to $0.12 per share. A comparable percentage rate change in the exchange rate for the British pound sterling would have an annual earnings impact of approximately $0.07 to $0.09 per share. Additional Commentary and Analysis  

Mr. Wessel further commented on FirstCash’s exceptionally strong operating performance and its outlook for the remainder of 2026, “We are extremely excited to share outstanding second quarter results which clearly reflect continued consumer demand for our core pawn products and services coupled with outstanding execution on the part of our front-line associates, store operators and support teams. The record level of pawn receivables coupled with solid inventory positions at quarter end position us well for further revenue growth in the second half of the year from both pawn fees and merchandise sales.

“The strength of our pawn business is notable in its consistency and breadth across each of our pawn segments, both domestically and internationally. Every market continues to see record levels of customer transaction volumes and increased transaction amounts. In addition, the discipline in our lending practices and retail strategies continue to be reflected in optimized inventory positioning with strong turns, low levels of aged inventories and industry leading retail margins.

“From a store growth perspective, the second quarter saw continued global expansion in all pawn segments with the addition of 20 locations through a combination of store openings and acquisitions. We added 13 de novo locations spread across each of our pawn segments. The seven acquired U.S. locations were all in targeted and attractive U.S. growth markets including the states of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Oklahoma. I am especially pleased to report that over the last twelve months, we have now added a total of almost 350 locations in four different countries.

“Our experienced operations and support teams have demonstrated capabilities and the necessary resources for successfully integrating the significant volume of acquired stores. As an example, we completed, in June, the integration of the acquired H&T store platform, representing almost 300 locations, into our proprietary FirstPawn POS system which was accomplished in less than nine months and well ahead of the original schedule. We believe this POS integration and future consolidation of other back office platforms will improve customer service, facilitate product enhancements and generate additional operating synergies for H&T.

“Equally as exciting is the especially large pipeline of pawn acquisitions anticipated for the second half of 2026. The opportunity to add the established Ramsdens brand represents a highly complementary strategic fit as one of the U.K.’s leading pawnbrokers. Operating with a network of 174 stores, Ramsdens will expand our geographic footprint, especially in the more northern regions of U.K., further providing additional scale, operating efficiencies and long-term growth opportunities. In addition, we have a number of other smaller acquisitions in process across multiple geographies which could add 35 to 40 additional locations between now and year end. These expected transactions continue to reinforce both the near and long-term opportunities for FirstCash’s continued growth of its store base, revenues and earnings.

“Our balance sheet and cash flows remain incredibly strong, as demonstrated by the successful $750 million bond offering completed in the second quarter which allowed us to pay down a significant portion of our U.S. credit facility and to pay off all of the assumed, higher-rate H&T debt. The bond issuance provides greater financial flexibility going forward for continued acquisitions, new store growth, real estate purchases and future shareholder returns. Furthermore, we continue to maintain the leverage ratio within our normal targeted range of 2.0x to 3.0x adjusted EBITDA.

“We are also pleased to report that during the second quarter, FirstCash repurchased $77 million of its common stock, bringing our year-to-date buybacks to $127 million at an average cost of $204.77. Subsequent to quarter end in early July 2026, we fully completed the $150 million share buyback authorization, and the Board of Directors has now authorized an additional $150 million for further potential share repurchases.

“A final highlight of the quarter was the shareholder approval of the reincorporation of FirstCash to become a Texas-domiciled company. The conversion from a Delaware to a Texas corporation was completed on June 18 and now aligns our corporate domicile with the state where we are headquartered and have the largest number of U.S. locations and employees.  

“In summary, we are very excited about the ongoing strength of our business model and the potential for further long-term growth and shareholder value creation,” concluded Mr. Wessel.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses certain financial calculations such as adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted return on equity, adjusted return on assets and constant currency results as factors in the measurement and evaluation of the Company’s operating performance and period-over-period growth. The Company derives these financial calculations on the basis of methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), primarily by excluding from a comparable GAAP measure certain items the Company does not consider to be representative of its actual operating performance. These financial calculations are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the SEC rules. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in operating its business because management believes they are less susceptible to variances in actual operating performance that can result from the excluded items, other infrequent charges and currency fluctuations. The Company presents these financial measures to investors because management believes they are useful to investors in evaluating the primary factors that drive the Company’s core operating performance and provide greater transparency into the Company’s results of operations. However, items that are excluded and other adjustments and assumptions that are made in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP financial measures. Further, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

The Company has adjusted the applicable financial calculations to exclude merger and acquisition expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the CFPB litigation settlement and certain other income and expenses. The Company does not consider these items to be related to the organic operations of the Company’s businesses or its continuing operations and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the Company. In addition, excluding these items allows for more accurate comparisons of the financial results to prior periods. Merger and acquisition expenses include incremental costs directly associated with merger and acquisition activities, including professional fees, legal expenses, severance, retention and other employee-related costs, contract breakage costs, costs related to the consolidation of technology systems and corporate facilities and other integration costs, among others.

Management believes the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial performance and prospects for the future by excluding items that management believes are non-operating in nature and are not representative of the Company’s core operating performance. In addition, management believes the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare the Company’s financial results for the current periods presented with the prior periods presented.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

For purposes of its internal liquidity assessments, the Company considers free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. The Company defines free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less purchases of furniture, fixtures, equipment and improvements and net fundings/repayments of pawn loan and finance receivables, which are considered to be operating in nature by the Company but are included in cash flow from investing activities. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow adjusted for merger and acquisition expenses paid that management considers to be non-operating in nature.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are commonly used by investors as additional measures of cash generated by business operations that may be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and debt service or, following payment of such debt obligations and other non-discretionary items, that may be available to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, repurchase stock, pay cash dividends or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. These metrics can also be used to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on the Company’s liquidity. However, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (in thousands):

Management believes the presentation of adjusted return on equity and adjusted return on assets provides investors with greater transparency and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial performance by excluding items that management believes are non-operating in nature and not representative of the Company’s core operating performance.

Constant Currency Results

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, however, certain performance metrics discussed in this release are presented on a “constant currency” basis, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management uses constant currency results to evaluate operating results of business operations in Latin America and the U.K., which are transacted in local currencies in Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and the U.K. The Company also has operations in El Salvador, where the reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

The Company believes constant currency results provide valuable supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of its business operations in Latin America and the U.K., consistent with how the Company’s management evaluates such performance and operating results. Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating certain balance sheet and income statement items denominated in local currencies using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current comparable period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations for purposes of evaluating period-over-period comparisons.

WILMINGTON, Del., July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a wireless, video and AI technology research and development company, today announced that it has been awarded another injunction against Disney by the Unified Patent Court (UPC). The UPC is a pan-European patent court which issues decisions that apply across multiple countries in the European Union (EU).

The Düsseldorf Local Division of the UPC ruled that InterDigital is entitled to an injunction over Disney’s infringement of an InterDigital patent covering certain video encoding techniques related to HEVC and confirmed the validity of this patent. The injunction against Disney spans 11 EU countries, including France, Germany and Italy. Disney can appeal the decision.

The judgment from the Düsseldorf court is the second injunction related to encoding for HEVC that InterDigital has received from the UPC against Disney.

Other injunctions have been issued by national courts in Germany and Brazil over Disney’s infringement of InterDigital’s intellectual property related to high dynamic range (HDR) technology, the dynamic overlaying of multiple video streams, casting video content over different devices, and additional compression technologies related to HEVC and AVC.

“Encoding for HEVC is a key component of the high-quality, premium viewing experience that streaming companies like Disney use to justify higher subscription prices,” said Josh Schmidt, Chief Legal Officer, InterDigital. “InterDigital has invested heavily in the development of advanced video encoding technologies and we remain committed to receiving a fair return for Disney’s ongoing use of our patented innovations.”

In addition, with reasonable frequency, we have entered into business combinations, acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments and other significant transactions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP throughout this release, the Company has provided here or elsewhere information regarding: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”); Adjusted EBITDA margin; Adjusted net income; Adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted earnings per share” or “Adjusted EPS”); Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow; Free Cash Flow; Adjusted Free Cash Flow; Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate; net capital expenditures (“net CAPEX”); Net Debt; Liquidity; Net Leverage Ratio (“Net Leverage”); revenue, segment revenue and product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses; Adjusted operating expenses; Pro Forma Revenue; Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA; and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, deferred financing cost amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expenses, restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by product revenues. The Company defines Adjusted net income as earnings adjusted by restructuring expenses, net, unrealized currency gain or loss and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations and related tax effects. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted net income divided by the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding. The Company defines Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow as Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities for the current period, less that of the immediately preceding period. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities plus Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment less Purchases of property and equipment. The Company defines net CAPEX as Purchases of property and equipment less Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, excluding cash restructuring expenses, net and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations, less net CAPEX. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Net Debt as the principal amount of all Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) less cash and cash equivalents. The Company defines Liquidity as the sum of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Company’s revolving line of credit. The Company defines Net Leverage as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters. The Company defines revenue, segment revenue or product revenue excluding foreign currency translation and other specified gains and losses as such revenue, excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange on revenue by translating actual revenue using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and excluding the other items specified. The Company defines Adjusted operating expenses as operating expenses excluding related non-cash stock based compensation, restructuring expenses, net, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company defines Pro Forma Revenue as Gentherm’s product revenues for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), plus Modine Performance Technologies’ Net sales for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), as reported by Modine Manufacturing Company, adjusted to reflect the latest business structure. The Company defines Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as Gentherm’s Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), plus Modine Performance Technologies’ Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four fiscal quarters (from the date specified), as reported by Modine Manufacturing Company, adjusted to reflect the latest business structure and go-forward operational alignment. The Company defines Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA divided by Pro Forma Revenue.

The Company’s reconciliations are included in this release or can be found in the supplemental materials for this reporting period on the Company’s website.

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses Quarter-to-date Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate, Net Debt, Net Leverage and Liquidity as supplemental measures of its liquidity and the other non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of its operating performance. Management provides such non-GAAP financial measures so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors in properly assessing the Company's performance on a period-over-period basis by excluding matters not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating or liquidity results and therefore enhance the comparability of the Company's results and provide additional information for analyzing trends in the business. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur revenues, expenses, and cash and non-cash obligations that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There also can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material. Other companies in our industry may define and calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do and those calculations may not be comparable to our metrics. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss), revenue or other consolidated income/(loss) statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP measures referenced in this release and other public communications may include estimates of future Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion rate, Adjusted EPS, Pro Forma Revenue, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to taxes and non-recurring items, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

GBP/EUR slábne kvůli nižší britské inflaci

Summary:

After gaining over 1% past month, the British pound dropped 0.5% against the euro due to cooling UK inflation and wage growth Lowering expectations for Bank of England rate hikes narrowed the yield gap between the pound and euro, triggering recent short-term profit-taking Anticipation of a hawkish policy stance from the European Central Bank provided additional underlying support for the euro against the British pound The British pound saw a significant monthly increase against the euro, rising over 1% to reach levels near 1.1800, last seen in mid-July. However, the pound has since given back some of these gains, falling about 0.5% in the last five trading days and moving back towards 1.1715. Understanding these movements offers valuable insight for market participants.

The Month’s Rally Explained Two central banks did most of the heavy lifting here. In the Eurozone, June inflation cooled to 2.8%, reducing the likelihood of further interest rate hikes from the European Central Bank following their June increase to a 2.25% deposit rate.

Additionally, a more stable political environment in the UK under new leadership has boosted market sentiment and lessened previous concerns that had impacted the pound. Andy Burnham’s uncontested succession brought an end to the nation’s political uncertainty. This removed a risk premium previously built into the currency.

Why the Pound Lost Its Grip The UK’s latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed headline inflation slowing to 2.6% year-over-year in June, below market expectations of 2.7%. While core CPI held steady at 2.6%, the slower headline figures, combined with slowing wage growth, tempered investor expectations for immediate rate hikes from the Bank of England (BoE).

As the British pound struggled for direction, the euro gained support. Investors were positioning themselves ahead of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) latest monetary policy announcement. Expectations that ECB policymakers would maintain a hawkish stance helped the single currency stay resilient.

What This Means Going Forward Looking ahead, the immediate focus will be on the ECB’s decision today and the BoE’s meeting on July 30. If the ECB maintains its current stance and suggests a potential September hike, it may not significantly affect the pound.

The BoE meeting, however, carries more weight. With a new Monetary Policy Report, the outcome could range from a cautious approach to signals of a potential rate increase, particularly as the number of dissenting votes favoring tighter policy has increased.

For the UK, slowing inflation combined with stable growth metrics suggests the BoE can prioritize economic stability without resorting to aggressive easing measures. This scenario could indicate confidence in the pound’s underlying strength, bolstered by the credibility of domestic policy.

In the Eurozone, persistent challenges related to energy costs and subdued growth forecasts highlight potential weaknesses, even with the ECB’s stated commitment to its 2% inflation target. The euro’s current softness relative to the pound may reflect investor preference for sterling, although both currencies face external pressures from global economic trends.

How Investors Might Position With two significant central bank meetings occurring closely together, this period presents heightened uncertainty for investors, making substantial directional bets less advisable. Those with substantial sterling transactions or exposure due in the next two weeks should account for this increased event risk.

For investors with a longer-term perspective, the current trends, including a more cautious ECB and a BoE possibly moving towards tightening policy, may continue to favor the pound. However, that view should be held loosely until both decisions land.

What key economic data release caused the pound to lose momentum against the euro over the last five sessions?

Softer UK headline inflation of 2.6% and cooling wage growth lowered market expectations for imminent Bank of England rate hikes.

How has the ECB’s upcoming policy announcement influenced the euro’s performance against the Sterling?

Anticipation of a hawkish rate hold by the European Central Bank provided support for the euro against the pound.

How should investors approach GBP/EUR right now?

Investors should avoid large directional bets until both central bank decisions land; the medium-term uptrend looks intact but near-term volatility is elevated.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brown & Brown, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced the next phase of its enterprise technology transformation: becoming an AI-first enterprise. This evolution is designed to responsibly leverage artificial intelligence (AI), rewire key business processes to accelerate growth, enhance customer experience, improve teammate productivity and strengthen business performance.

The Company is building AI as a foundational enterprise capability, designed to quickly scale across the business while empowering local teams to address customer and operational needs.

Encouraged by gains realized in initial pilot projects, Brown & Brown is entering the next phase of its AI journey. This phase will focus on thoughtfully expanding AI capabilities using Brown & Brown’s agile, entrepreneurial operating model to incubate AI solutions close to the business and customer, while quickly proving value and deploying capabilities at scale.

This enhanced model empowers local development to address business needs, while creating an operating platform that supports companywide adoption. To do this, the Company has selected Anthropic, McKinsey & Company and Accenture as partners, combining expertise in “frontier” AI, business transformation and governance to establish the guardrails, operating discipline and execution model needed to scale AI responsibly across the enterprise.

“Our teammates are Brown & Brown’s greatest differentiator, and we view AI as an enabler of their experience, specialization and judgment — not a replacement for it,” said Powell Brown, president and chief executive officer of Brown & Brown. “By responsibly implementing AI across our business, we can help teammates spend more time advising customers, building relationships and delivering the specialized solutions that set Brown & Brown apart. To do this well, we are bringing together the right mix of internal leadership and external partners who are leaders in this space.”

Becoming AI-first is more than just deploying technology. It means building a culture of continuous improvement and arming every teammate with the ability to work smarter, unlock creativity, move faster and deliver even greater value to customers. The Company will ultimately deploy Anthropic’s Claude across its 23,000 teammates and integrate AI into end-to-end workflows supporting customer service, operations, technology and corporate functions.

Jim Bramblet, senior managing director leading Accenture's U.S. Insurance business, said, “Brown & Brown is taking a forward-looking approach to using AI to help drive growth, improve efficiency and create value across the business. By combining Anthropic's advanced AI capabilities with Accenture's experience designing technology architectures, developing implementation roadmaps and supporting business transformation, this collaboration is focused on accelerating innovation, modernizing how work gets done and turning AI investments into measurable business outcomes.”

Brown & Brown is also establishing a value management office (VMO) to support disciplined execution and ongoing, outcomes-based evaluation of its AI initiatives. The office will monitor adoption, measure business impact and return on investment, and maintain controls as AI capabilities scale across the enterprise.

“We are excited to partner with Brown & Brown on this next chapter of its AI transformation. Brown & Brown has demonstrated a clear commitment to using AI to create meaningful value for its customers, teammates and shareholders. We look forward to helping the company redesign how work gets done and capture the full potential of AI at enterprise scale,” said Ari Libarikian, global co-lead of McKinsey’s Insurance Practice.

As part of its broader technology transformation, Brown & Brown will also deploy Claude Code across its entire software engineering organization to reimagine and implement an AI-enabled software development lifecycle, expected to improve developer productivity, strengthen software quality and accelerate delivery.

"Brown & Brown's engineers are using Claude Code to develop in hours what used to take days, cutting troubleshooting time dramatically and catching vulnerabilities that other tools missed — and the company is now expanding Claude from a handful of pilot teams to the entire enterprise," said Michael Hartman, head of Americas enterprise, Anthropic. "That's what becoming an AI-first enterprise looks like — proving the value first, then giving every teammate the same capability." 

Early Claude Code usage across select pilot teams at Brown & Brown shows promising results:

Improved developer productivity: participating teams have reported productivity gains of approximately 2x to 8x, with certain work that previously took days completed in hours.Enhanced security and code quality: AI-enabled workflows have reduced analysis and troubleshooting time by an estimated 80–90% in certain use cases and helped identify software vulnerabilities not detected by other tools.Strong teammate adoption: participating teams reported high confidence in Claude Code, with 80% rating its value 5 out of 5 during the rollout. Together, these efforts position Brown & Brown to scale responsible AI across its business while keeping teammates, customers, security and measurable outcomes at the center of its transformation.
