nCino spustilo Mortgage MCP, které umožňuje AI agentům připojit se přímo k nCino Mortgage Suite. Nástroj zachovává stávající oprávnění, auditní logy a schvalování citlivých akcí.
New capability puts the AI agent in the customer's environment while keeping nCino's compliance and permissioning framework intact August 07, 2026 07:30 ET | Source: nCino, Inc.
WILMINGTON, N.C., Aug. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- nCino, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCNO), the platform for agentic AI banking, today announced new capabilities to let lenders connect MCP-compatible AI agents directly to the nCino Mortgage Suite via Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source protocol that acts as a universal plug between AI agents and external platforms.
Mortgage teams lose real time to a familiar problem: getting information or taking action means navigating screen after screen, even when the task itself is simple. Mortgage MCP solves that. The agent executes the task on the user's behalf — no clicking, no toggling between tools — within your existing governance and permissions settings.
Mortgage MCP currently ships with two pre-built tools for those who want to get to work immediately:
Admin MCP Mortgage systems administrators — the internal "product owners" responsible for a lender's loan origination system (LOS), point-of-sale system (POS) and other key mortgage technologies — spend dozens of hours each month on tasks such as user and role management, system configuration and integration maintenance.
The Admin MCP lets administrators handle those tasks through natural language conversation, without logging into the nCino console. An administrator can onboard a new loan officer, add their state licenses, assign them to a branch, restructure organizational hierarchies, perform compliance tasks and report on loan officer performance in a single conversation.
Loan Officer MCP Loan officers move fast — or try to. Between checking loan status, triaging their pipeline, managing borrower records and triggering income and asset verifications, they spend much of their day toggling between screens rather than working with borrowers.
The Loan Officer MCP gives loan officers a single conversational interface to handle those tasks, eliminating the screen-switching that slows origination workflows and keeping their attention on the borrower relationship. Other use cases include running AUS, drafting disclosures, partner onboarding, loan briefings, guidance on where to focus time, and task reminders.
"With Mortgage MCP, administrative workflows that used to consume hours become a five-minute conversation," said Casey Williams, General Manager of Global Mortgage at nCino. "We're building for a world where lending teams state intent and the system acts, replacing clicks with commands and dashboards with answers. Admins can connect the AI agent they already use directly into the nCino Mortgage Suite, and it only ever acts within their existing permissions, with every action logged."
Mortgage MCP is built on nCino's existing permissioning and audit-logging framework: actions taken through the nCino Mortgage Suite logged with a timestamp, action and outcome within nCino's system. The framework supports configurable controls for high-impact actions, such as archiving a loan officer or restructuring a branch, including a requirement for human confirmation before execution. Customers have the flexibility to configure these controls to fit their own approval workflows and environment.

Under the terms of the agreement, Beazer shareholders will receive $33.50 in cash for each share of Beazer common stock, representing an implied purchase price-to-book multiple of 0.8x.
Beazer is a leading national homebuilder operating in 15 markets across 13 states. The company designs, builds and sells new homes across a range of communities and price points, specializing in personalized homebuilding, land development, and homebuyer financing to make homeownership more attainable.
Together, the two companies will form the nation's sixth-largest homebuilder,1 with highly complementary footprints, expanded product offerings, and deeper capabilities across many of the country's largest and fastest-growing housing markets. The combination also brings together two exceptional teams, deepening the combined company's bench of experienced homebuilding talent, operational expertise, and customer-focused culture that will serve as the foundation for long-term growth.
Upon closing, the combined company will operate in 26 markets and approximately 520 active communities across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, the West, and the Midwest – regions that represent some of the highest demand corridors in the country. With increased reach across both entry-level and move-up communities, the platform is well-positioned to serve a broader buyer base across multiple price points, while driving meaningful affordability improvements through purchasing efficiencies and a more seamless homebuying experience.
Patrick Zalupski, Founder, CEO, and Co-Chairman of Dream Finders, said, "As someone who started Dream Finders from the ground up, I know what it takes to build a culture that puts homebuyers first, and that's exactly what I see in Beazer. They have built something genuinely special – a talented team, strong communities, and a culture that puts customers at the center of everything they do. That resonates deeply with us. This combination is the next meaningful step in our journey to become a top 5 national homebuilder, expanding our geographic reach, broadening the range of buyers we can serve, and strengthening the integrated services we offer families from contract to close.”
Mr. Zalupski continued, “Together, I believe we'll build something enduring – a company with the scale to compete nationally, but always with the care and commitment that has defined both of our companies from day one. I want to recognize the incredible dedication of both the Beazer and Dream Finders teams who have worked tirelessly to reach this moment. I couldn't be prouder of what we've accomplished together, and I am genuinely excited to get this over the finish line and start building our future together.”
Rick Beckwitt, Co-Chairman of Dream Finders, said, “This transaction represents an important milestone for Dream Finders and reflects our Board's confidence in the strategic and financial merits of combining two leading companies. Patrick and the team have mapped out a detailed integration plan to maximize synergies that will drive long-term growth and profitability.”
Mr. Beckwitt added, “We have great respect for what Allan Merrill and the Beazer team have accomplished. We look forward to executing our strategy as a larger and even stronger company and welcoming a very talented group of Beazer employees to the Dream Finders family.”
Allan P. Merrill, Chairman, President and CEO of Beazer Homes, said, “Over nearly 20 years, we have transformed Beazer into one of the nation’s largest homebuilders through a strategy focused on delivering on energy efficient homes and best-in-class customer experiences. This transaction represents the culmination of a comprehensive review of opportunities to maximize value and provides Beazer shareholders with a significant and certain cash return in an uncertain market. I am proud of our people and want to thank our entire organization for their exceptional work to ensure that, together with Dream Finders, we continue providing homebuyers across the country with a high-quality product and outstanding service."

"Due to several factors, we closed out the first half of 2026 with fewer tons shipped and higher costs than expected," said Andy Eidson, Alpha's chief executive officer. "Those realities are evident in our second quarter results, and they informed our decision to release adjusted guidance ranges for sales volumes and cost of coal sales. We continue to engage with terminal leaders at Dominion Terminal Associates (DTA) to address the high-wind storm damage that occurred in June. Our reduced sales volume guidance for the balance of the year incorporates our expectations of reduced efficiency at DTA, which we plan to mitigate in part by utilizing our throughput capacity at other East Coast terminals. Once the insurance claims process advances, alongside conversations with third party equipment providers, terminal leadership should gain additional clarity regarding the longer-term plan for replacing the stacker reclaimer. In the immediate term, however, we remain appreciative of the cooperation from DTA leaders in working through these challenges and their resourcefulness in keeping the terminal running as well as possible under the circumstances."
Eidson continued: "With soft met market conditions persisting, our increased cost of coal sales guidance incorporates our expectation of fewer shipped tons for the year, together with the continuation of higher supply costs we've been experiencing."

Alpha reported a net loss of $12.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, for the second quarter, as compared to net loss of $11.0 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, in the first quarter.

Notes:
1.
Based on committed and priced coal shipments as of July 30, 2026. Committed percentage based on the midpoint of shipment guidance range.
2.
Actual average per-ton realizations on committed and priced tons recognized in future periods may vary based on actual freight expense in future periods relative to assumed freight expense embedded in projected average per-ton realizations.
3.
Includes estimates of future coal shipments based upon contract terms and anticipated delivery schedules. Actual coal shipments may vary from these estimates.
4.
Note: The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton sold financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation. The most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP cost of sales, is not accessible without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis. The reconciling items include freight and handling costs, which are a component of GAAP cost of sales. Management is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts freight and handling costs due to uncertainty as to the end market and FOB point for uncommitted sales volumes and the final shipping point for export shipments. These amounts have varied historically and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and material changes to these items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results.
5.
Excludes expenses related to non-cash stock compensation and non-recurring expenses.
6.
Includes contributions to fund normal operations at our DTA export facility and expected capital investments related to the facility upgrades.

FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The discussion below contains "non-GAAP financial measures." These are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP"). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures "Adjusted EBITDA," "non-GAAP coal revenues," "non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton," "non-GAAP cost of coal sales," "non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton," "non-GAAP coal margin," and "non-GAAP coal margin per ton." In addition to net income (loss), we use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or any other measure of operating results, financial performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, this measure is not calculated identically by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it is a useful indicator of the financial performance of our coal operations. We use non-GAAP coal revenues to present coal revenues generated, excluding freight and handling fulfillment revenues. Non-GAAP coal sales realization per ton is calculated as non-GAAP coal revenues divided by tons sold. We use non-GAAP cost of coal sales to adjust cost of coal sales to remove freight and handling costs, depreciation, depletion and amortization - production (excluding the depreciation, depletion and amortization related to selling, general and administrative functions), accretion on asset retirement obligations, amortization of acquired intangibles, and idled and closed mine costs. Non-GAAP cost of coal sales per ton is calculated as non-GAAP cost of coal sales divided by tons sold. Non-GAAP coal margin is calculated as non-GAAP coal revenues less non-GAAP cost of coal sales. Non-GAAP coal margin per ton is calculated as non-GAAP coal margin divided by tons sold. The presentation of these measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. The definition of these non-GAAP measures may be changed periodically by management to adjust for significant items important to an understanding of operating trends and to adjust for items that may not reflect the trend of future results by excluding transactions that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Furthermore, analogous measures are used by industry analysts to evaluate our operating performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, capital investments and other factors.
Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

Under Armour snížil celoroční výhled tržeb na pokles v nižších jednotkách procent kvůli slabší poptávce. Ziskovost ale dál drží: celoroční provozní zisk očekává ve výši 96 až 116 milionů USD.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UAA, UA) today announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, which ended June 30, 2026. Results are reported in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). References to "constant currency" and "adjusted" results are non-GAAP financial measures; reconciliations are provided below.
"As we navigate a challenging consumer demand environment, we continue to make progress in building a more focused Under Armour, despite updating our full-year revenue outlook," said Under Armour President and CEO Kevin Plank. "By simplifying the business, we are operating with greater discipline and better positioned to protect profitability, while still investing in a sharper product portfolio through clearer storytelling with the goal of driving a more premium Under Armour that will consistently earn demand at full price."
First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Review
Revenue decreased 3 percent to $1.1 billion (down 4 percent constant currency). North America revenue declined 9 percent to $610 million, while international revenue increased 5 percent to $490 million (up 2 percent constant currency). Within international markets, EMEA revenue increased 12 percent (up 10 percent constant currency), Asia-Pacific decreased 7 percent (down 10 percent constant currency), and Latin America increased 8 percent (up 1 percent constant currency). Wholesale revenue decreased 2 percent to $638 million and direct-to-consumer (DTC) revenue decreased 6 percent to $437 million. Within DTC, owned-and-operated store revenue declined 3 percent, and eCommerce revenue decreased 12 percent, representing 29 percent of total DTC revenue for the quarter. By category, apparel revenue decreased 2 percent to $734 million, footwear revenue declined 8 percent to $245 million, and accessories revenue decreased 4 percent to $96 million. Gross margin increased 590 basis points to 54.1 percent, primarily due to refunds received associated with the recovery of International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") tariff costs expensed in fiscal 2026. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, unfavorable regional and channel mix, and pricing headwinds. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 2 percent to $543 million, primarily due to targeted investments to strengthen the brand as well as continued disciplined operating expense management. Excluding $2 million in transformation expenses related to the Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan, adjusted SG&A increased 4 percent to $541 million. Restructuring charges totaled $4 million. Operating income was $47 million. Excluding transformation and restructuring charges, adjusted operating income was $52 million. Net income was $1 million. Adjusted net income was $21 million, which excludes transformation and restructuring charges. Diluted earnings per share was $0.00; adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.05. Inventory decreased 3 percent to $1.1 billion. Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $396 million at quarter-end and $200 million of borrowings were outstanding under its $1.1 billion revolving credit facility. On June 15 upon maturity, funds from the company's restricted investments were used to settle all remaining principal and interest payments to holders of the Senior Notes due 2026, which, as previously disclosed, were satisfied and discharged during fiscal 2026. Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan
In the first quarter, the company recorded $4 million in restructuring charges and $2 million in transformation-related SG&A expenses, for a total of $6 million under its Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan. To date, the company has incurred $266 million in total restructuring and transformation costs, including $116 million in cash and $150 million in non-cash charges. Total program costs under the plan are anticipated to be approximately $305 million. The company expects the plan to be substantially complete by December 31, 2026.
Updated Fiscal 2027 Outlook
The company has updated its fiscal 2027 outlook. Compared with fiscal 2026, key highlights of the company's outlook include:
Revenue is now expected to decline at a mid-single-digit percentage rate compared with the prior outlook of a slight decline. The revised outlook is driven by softer demand, particularly in North America and Asia-Pacific. The company remains focused on balancing near-term revenue opportunities with actions that strengthen long-term brand health, including disciplined marketplace management and protection of full-price selling. The updated outlook incorporates a mid-single-digit percent decline in North America (prior low-single-digit decline), and low-single-digit declines in both Asia-Pacific (prior low-single-digit increase) and EMEA (prior low-single-digit increase). Gross Margin is still expected to increase 220 to 270 basis points versus the prior year's gross margin. Approximately 150 basis points of this improvement is due to the recovery of IEEPA-related tariff costs expensed in fiscal 2026 realized in the first quarter. Excluding this benefit, the company continues to expect gross margin expansion driven by pricing actions, lower discounting, and a more favorable channel mix, partially offset by supply chain headwinds related to the conflict in the Middle East and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. SG&A expense, including transformation expenses related to the Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan, is now expected to decrease at a high-single-digit rate versus the prior expectation for a low-single-digit decline. Excluding transformation expenses, Adjusted SG&A is now expected to decrease at a low-single-digit rate (prior low-single-digit rate increase). The updated outlook reflects actions to align operating expenses with the current demand environment while continuing to prioritize the company's highest-return strategic investments. Operating Income is still expected to be in the range of $96 million to $116 million. Excluding expected transformation expenses and restructuring charges, Adjusted Operating Income is still expected to be $140 million to $160 million. To achieve this, the company expects to substantially offset the impact of lower revenue through disciplined expense management and a more agile and disciplined operating model while continuing to invest in the areas most critical to strengthening the brand. This outlook includes an approximate $70 million benefit from the realization of refunds from prior-year IEEPA tariff expenses and approximately $35 million in headwinds related to the conflict in the Middle East. Diluted Loss Per Share is now expected to range from $0.01 to $0.05 versus the prior expectation of breakeven to a loss per share of $0.04. Excluding anticipated transformation expenses and restructuring charges, the expectation for Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share remains $0.08 to $0.12. Conference Call and Webcast
Under Armour will hold its first-quarter fiscal 2027 conference call today at approximately 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The call will stream live at https://about.underarmour.com/investor-relations/financials and will be available for replay approximately three hours after the live event.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release discusses "constant currency" and "adjusted" results, as well as the company's "adjusted" forward-looking estimates for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. Management believes this information is valuable for investors seeking to compare the company's operational results across periods, as it provides clearer insight into underlying performance by excluding these impacts. Constant currency financial data removes fluctuations caused by foreign currency exchange rates. Adjusted financial measures exclude the effects of the company's litigation reserve expense (and related insurance recoveries) and the company's Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan, its associated charges, and related tax effects, as well as the valuation allowance against its U.S. federal deferred tax assets. Management states that these adjustments are not essential to the company's core operations. The reconciliation of non-GAAP figures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the supplemental financial information accompanying this release. All per-share amounts are reported on a diluted basis. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation; they should be considered alongside the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the company's non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

Plains All American vykázala ve 2. čtvrtletí čistý zisk 1,83 mld. USD, tažený ziskem z prodeje kanadského NGL byznysu. Upravené EBITDA vzrostlo na 738 mil. USD.
HOUSTON, Aug. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) today reported second-quarter 2026 results and provided the following highlights:
Second-Quarter 2026 Results
Second-quarter Net income attributable to PAA of $1.830 billion, including a net gain of approximately $1.6 billion from the Canadian NGL Business divestiture, and Net cash provided by operating activities of $956 millionDelivered strong second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA of $738 millionPro forma leverage ratio at quarter-end was 3.3x reflecting approximately $2.9 billion of debt reduction funded with proceeds from the Canadian NGL Business divestiture and toward the low-end of our target range of 3.25 to 3.75xPaid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4175 per unit ($1.67 per unit annualized), representing a current distribution yield of ~7% Highlights and Recent Announcements
Executing on three key initiatives for the year: closed the NGL sale, captured $50 million of synergies on the Cactus III acquisition and delivering on $50 million of targeted cost reductions through year-end 2026Increased 2026 organic growth capital from $350 million to a range of $400 to $450 million including a 75 Mbbl/d expansion of the Cactus III pipeline, Canadian gathering systems and Permian gathering projects across the Delaware and Midland basinsMaintenance capital guidance is being reduced by $10 million to $175 million largely based on timing of the NGL divestiture
“Strong results in the quarter mark a significant improvement from first quarter levels and place us on-track to deliver on our full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Year-to-date we are on pace to accomplish all three key initiatives outlined for 2026. In May, we successfully closed on the sale of our Canadian NGL business, completing a transition to a premier pure play crude oil midstream provider. Proceeds from the NGL sale were used to bring our leverage ratio back within our established target range. Cactus III synergies have been captured and we are now seeing additional upside potential from expanding the capacity of the pipeline by 75 Mbbl/d. Finally, we remain on-track to capture streamlining efficiencies throughout the organization this year. The combination of these key initiatives along with contributions from new organic investment opportunities and Permian volume growth provides momentum for the organization heading into 2027. The oil macro environment remains volatile but our well positioned asset footprint, integrated business model, and commercial relationships position us well to capture opportunities across our portfolio,” said Willie Chiang, Chairman, CEO and President.
Financial Reporting Considerations from Sale of Canadian NGL Business
On May 12, 2026, we completed the sale of substantially all of our NGL business in Canada (the “Canadian NGL Business”) to Keyera Corp. (“Keyera”), pursuant to a definitive share purchase agreement (as amended to date, the “SPA”) entered into on June 17, 2025. We determined that the operations of the Canadian NGL Business met the criteria for classification as held for sale and for discontinued operations reporting. Results throughout this release specify if they are presented from continuing operations (which exclude results related to the Canadian NGL Business) and/or discontinued operations.

Second-quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil increased 19% versus comparable 2025 results. Favorable results in the 2026 period from (i) contributions from our Cactus III pipeline acquisition, which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2025, (ii) higher volumes on our pipelines and (iii) market opportunities and optimization initiatives were partially offset by the impact of (iv) certain Permian long-haul pipeline contract rate resets.
Second-quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA from NGL decreased 54% versus comparable 2025 results primarily due to the sale of the Canadian NGL Business, which closed on May 12, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures known as “non-GAAP financial measures” in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future and to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. The primary additional measures used by management are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”), Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.
Our definition and calculation of certain non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF and certain other non-GAAP financial performance measures are reconciled to Net Income, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions and certain other non-GAAP financial liquidity measures are reconciled to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP) for the historical periods presented in the tables attached to this release, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. In addition, we encourage you to visit the Investor Relations section of our website at www.plains.com (navigate to the “Financials” tab, then click on “Quarterly Results”), which presents a reconciliation of our commonly used non-GAAP and supplemental financial measures. We do not reconcile non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as it is impractical to do so without unreasonable effort.
Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations and discontinued operations before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax (expense)/benefit from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iii) depreciation and amortization (including our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization, including write-downs related to cancelled projects and impairments, of unconsolidated entities) from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iv) gains and losses on asset sales, asset impairments and other, net from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (v) gains on investments in unconsolidated entities, net and (vi) interest income on promissory notes by and among certain Plains entities, and (vii) adjusted for certain selected items impacting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA excludes the portion of Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA disaggregated by product (e.g., Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil and Adjusted EBITDA from NGL) excludes amounts related to Other income/(expense).
Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used to supplement related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our operating performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders through cash generated by our operations and (ii) provide investors with the same financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning/budgeting decisions. We also present these and additional non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income attributable to PAA and basic and diluted adjusted net income per common unit, as they are measures that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial performance measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) gains and losses on derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), gains and losses on derivatives that are either related to investing activities (such as the purchase of linefill) or purchases of long-term inventory, and inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable, (iii) long-term inventory costing adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our operating results and/or (v) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our operating performance. These measures may be further adjusted to include amounts related to deficiencies associated with minimum volume commitments whereby we have billed the counterparties for their deficiency obligation and such amounts are recognized as deferred revenue in “Other current liabilities” in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We also adjust for amounts billed by our equity method investees related to deficiencies under minimum volume commitments. Such amounts are presented net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue. Furthermore, the calculation of these measures contemplates tax effects as a separate reconciling item, where applicable. We have defined all such items as “selected items impacting comparability.” Due to the nature of the selected items, certain selected items impacting comparability may impact certain non-GAAP financial measures, referred to as adjusted results, but not impact other non-GAAP financial measures. We do not necessarily consider all of our selected items impacting comparability to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, but we believe that an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability is material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.
Although we present selected items impacting comparability that management considers in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions, divestitures, investment capital projects and numerous other factors. These types of variations may not be separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management’s discussion and analysis of operating results in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Non-GAAP Financial Liquidity Measures
Management uses the non-GAAP financial liquidity measures Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, less Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities, which primarily includes acquisition, investment and maintenance capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated entities and related party notes and the impact from the purchase and sale of linefill, net of proceeds from the sales of assets and further impacted by distributions to and contributions from noncontrolling interests and proceeds from the issuance of related party notes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.
We also present these measures and additional non-GAAP financial liquidity measures as they are measures that investors have indicated are useful. We present Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) for use in assessing our underlying business liquidity and cash flow generating capacity excluding fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluding the impact of “Changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, we exclude impacts related to the Canadian NGL Business divestiture. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities).
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Discontinued Operations
From June 17, 2025, the date we entered into the SPA with Keyera to sell the Canadian NGL Business, through the closing of the divestiture on May 12, 2026, management reviewed such business as a component of our overall company performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders in the near term. As such, certain Non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF, and certain Non-GAAP financial liquidity measures, such as Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities), are presented on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) to provide relevant and useful information regarding our historical performance and results of operations and to assist in reconciling results presented in historical periods.

See the “Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF Reconciliation” and “Computation of Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Common Unit” tables for additional details on how these selected items impacting comparability affect such measures.(2) Includes results from continuing operations and discontinued operations for all periods presented.(3) We use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and our related processes include specific identification of hedging instruments to an underlying hedged transaction. Although we identify an underlying transaction for each derivative instrument we enter into, there may not be an accounting hedge relationship between the instrument and the underlying transaction. In the course of evaluating our results, we identify differences in the timing of earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions and exclude the related gains and losses in determining adjusted results such that the earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions impact adjusted results in the same period. In addition, we exclude gains and losses on derivatives that are related to (i) investing activities, such as the purchase of linefill, and (ii) purchases of long-term inventory. We also exclude the impact of corresponding inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable.(4) We carry crude oil and NGL inventory that is comprised of minimum working inventory requirements in third-party assets and other working inventory that is needed for our commercial operations. We consider this inventory necessary to conduct our operations and we intend to carry this inventory for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we classify this inventory as long-term on our balance sheet and do not hedge the inventory with derivative instruments (similar to linefill in our own assets). We treat the impact of changes in the average cost of the long-term inventory (that result from fluctuations in market prices) and write-downs of such inventory that result from price declines as a selected item impacting comparability.(5) We, and certain of our equity method investees, have certain agreements that require counterparties to deliver, transport or throughput a minimum volume over an agreed upon period. Substantially all of such agreements were entered into with counterparties to economically support the return on capital expenditure necessary to construct the related asset. Some of these agreements include make-up rights if the minimum volume is not met. We record a receivable from the counterparty in the period that services are provided or when the transaction occurs, including amounts for deficiency obligations from counterparties associated with minimum volume commitments. If a counterparty has a make-up right associated with a deficiency, we defer the revenue attributable to the counterparty’s make-up right and subsequently recognize the revenue at the earlier of when the deficiency volume is delivered or shipped, when the make-up right expires or when it is determined that the counterparty’s ability to utilize the make-up right is remote. We include the impact of amounts billed to counterparties for their deficiency obligation, net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue or equity earnings, as a selected item impacting comparability. We believe the inclusion of the contractually committed revenues associated with that period is meaningful to investors as the related asset has been constructed, is standing ready to provide the committed service and the fixed operating costs are included in the current period results.(6) Depreciation and amortization on the long-lived assets of the Canadian NGL Business disposal group ceased upon meeting the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Implied DCF on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. We therefore include an adjustment for the impact of amortization of the rail fleet associated with the Canadian NGL Business.(7) Our total equity-indexed compensation expense includes expense associated with awards that will be settled in units and awards that will be settled in cash. The awards that will be settled in units are included in our diluted net income per unit calculation when the applicable performance criteria have been met. We consider the compensation expense associated with these awards as a selected item impacting comparability as the dilutive impact of the outstanding awards is included in our diluted net income per unit calculation, as applicable. The portion of compensation expense associated with awards that will be settled in cash is not considered a selected item impacting comparability.(8) During the periods presented, there were fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, resulting in the realization of foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions as well as the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. The associated gains and losses are not integral to our results and were thus classified as a selected item impacting comparability.(9) We agreed to potential earnout payments associated with recently completed acquisitions, primarily our Cactus III acquisition. We consider the non-cash change in the estimated fair value of such earnout payments as a selected item impacting comparability.(10) Represents the acceleration of certain general and administrative expenses associated with exit activities related to the Canadian NGL Business divestiture in May 2026. Such costs are not integral to our core operating performance and were therefore excluded in determining Segment Adjusted EBITDA.(11) Primarily related to deal-specific costs incurred during the period.(12) In connection with the Canadian NGL Business divestiture, we completed certain planning and restructuring activities within our organizational structure that had income tax consequences that required recognition during the first and second quarters of 2026. We consider the impacts from the Canadian NGL Business divestiture as a selected item impacting comparability. PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Rigetti Computing ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby na zhruba 5,1 milionu USD z 1,8 milionu USD před rokem díky dříve oznámeným objednávkám Novera. Hrubá marže stoupla na asi 43 %.
Quantum Earnings Could Decide Whether the Sector’s Sell-Off Has Gone Too FarRigetti Computing NASDAQ: RGTI reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of approximately $5.1 million, up from $1.8 million a year earlier, as the quantum computing company recognized revenue from previously announced on-premises Novera quantum processing unit purchase orders.
Chief Executive Officer Subodh Kulkarni said the quarter underscored progress in the company’s Cepheus-class systems, prospective U.S. government funding and its expanded collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.

D-Wave’s AT&T Deal Shows Quantum Computing Is Moving Beyond Theory“Q2 was another important proof point in our strategy to combine technical progress with real-world access and long-term strategic partnerships,” Kulkarni said.
Financial Results and Capital Position Rigetti reported a gross margin of approximately 43% in the second quarter, compared with 31% in the prior-year period. Chief Financial Officer Jeff Bertelsen said the change reflected contract mix, pricing and the contribution from Novera QPU sales.
The Ugliest Stocks in the Market Just Got a Very Expensive Vote of ConfidenceTotal operating expenses rose to $30.3 million from $20.4 million a year earlier, driven primarily by research and development spending, including engineering personnel, fabrication, chip design, control electronics, refrigeration and infrastructure for higher-qubit-count systems.
Operating loss was $28.1 million, compared with $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. GAAP net loss was $52.6 million, compared with $39.7 million a year earlier. Non-GAAP net loss was approximately $16 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $13.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, a year earlier. Cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments totaled approximately $541.3 million at June 30, down from $569 million at March 31. The company reported no debt. Bertelsen said GAAP results continued to be affected by non-cash fair-value adjustments to derivative warrant and earn-out liabilities, which can create substantial quarterly volatility. He said Rigetti’s capital position provides runway for its technology and deployment plans, including investments in the United Kingdom.
Capital expenditures during the quarter were primarily related to Fab-1 and added dilution refrigeration capacity. The company expects elevated capital expenditures in 2026 as it invests in refrigeration and fabrication equipment.
Cepheus Roadmap and Fidelity Targets Kulkarni said Rigetti’s 108-qubit Cepheus-1-108Q platform remains accessible through Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services, Amazon Braket, Microsoft Azure Quantum and qBraid. The system is built from 12 interconnected nine-qubit chiplets.
The company reported median single-qubit gate fidelity of approximately 99.9%, median two-qubit gate fidelity of roughly 99.1% and gate speeds of around 60 nanoseconds for the 108-qubit system. Rigetti is targeting median two-qubit gate fidelity of about 99.5% later this year while maintaining its gate-speed profile.
Kulkarni said coherence time, currently in the 25- to 30-microsecond range, is the primary limitation on two-qubit gate fidelity. The company is pursuing chip-design, materials and fabrication initiatives intended to roughly double or triple coherence times over the next several years.
Those efforts include work with Fermilab involving tantalum-capped niobium superconducting contacts, as well as refinements to deposition, oxidation and etching processes around Josephson junctions. During the question-and-answer session, Kulkarni said Rigetti expects fidelity to improve at the 108-qubit level before the end of 2026, though it is being deliberate in testing upgrades before deploying them to cloud users.
The company remains focused on a roughly three-year objective of reaching approximately 1,000 qubits, 99.9% two-qubit gate fidelity and gate speeds below 40 nanoseconds. Rigetti has begun investing in refrigeration and related infrastructure intended to support 1,000-qubit systems.
Potential CHIPS Act Funding Rigetti previously announced that it signed a letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for a potential award of up to $100 million over three years. The prospective funding would support superconducting quantum computing research and development focused on scaling challenges.
The contemplated transaction would include an equity stake for the Department of Commerce consistent with the amount of funding provided. Kulkarni emphasized that the letter of intent is not a definitive agreement and remains subject to approvals, conditions and final terms, including the issuance of securities to the department.
Management said potential funding could accelerate work on multichip architectures, processor generations, control electronics, cryogenics, packaging and other scaling bottlenecks. Bertelsen said the company would weigh the technical benefits of the funding against potential dilution from any equity issuance.
Separately, Kulkarni said the company remains optimistic about progressing to Phase B of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, though he said the timing is difficult to predict. Rigetti continues to work with DARPA on the improvement areas identified for advancement to the next phase.
System Deliveries and Hybrid Computing Collaboration Rigetti said it remains on track to deliver two nine-qubit Novera systems and a 108-qubit system for India’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, or C-DAC, during 2026. The company expects to recognize revenue from the $8.4 million C-DAC order in the fourth quarter following installation and performance acceptance testing.
Bertelsen said increased deferred revenue in the quarter was mainly tied to C-DAC prepayments.
The company also expanded its collaboration with HPE and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, or PSC, to provide a nine-qubit Novera system for PSC’s TangleLab testbed. The National Science Foundation-funded project is intended to integrate Rigetti’s quantum system with an HPE-powered supercomputing environment for hybrid quantum-classical workload development.
Kulkarni said Rigetti will provide a full system, including the QPU, dilution refrigeration and control systems, while using third-party components where appropriate. He said delivery is expected in 2027, although the precise timing has not been established.
Management said customer engagement is growing across cloud, government, academic and commercial channels. Kulkarni said the company has recently won Novera-related business involving the University of Saskatchewan and a research arm of a large Japanese conglomerate, while commercial users have increasingly begun purchasing on-premises research systems.
Rigetti said it plans to update its published technology roadmap later in 2026 after gathering additional operating data from Cepheus-1-108Q and gaining clearer visibility into future system deployments.

SpaceX ve 2. čtvrtletí meziročně zvýšil tržby asi o 90 % na 7,8 miliardy USD, ale vykázal čistou ztrátu 541 milionů USD. Akcie po uvolnění 911,5 milionu akcií insiderů vzrostly o 6,1 % na 114,92 USD, stále pod IPO cenou 135 USD.
Jim Cramer is telling investors to consider buying one of the market’s most battered recent IPOs for people who may not need the money for decades: their children.
SpaceX stock NASDAQ:SPCX has nearly halved from its June peak as investors question the sums Elon Musk plans to spend on artificial-intelligence infrastructure.
The stock rebounded 6.1% to $114.92 on Thursday as 911.5 million insider shares became eligible for trading, but remained below its $135 IPO price.
Cramer’s argument on CNBC is deliberately long-term.
Starlink, Starship, AI and orbital computing could become businesses whose scale cannot be judged from the next earnings report. The harder question is why investors should buy that future now.
SpaceX’s first public earnings showed why the long horizon matters.
Second-quarter revenue rose about 90% from a year earlier to $7.8 billion, while the company posted a $541 million net loss.
Capital expenditure reached $18.4 billion, with AI infrastructure accounting for much of the increase.
The investment case rests on several businesses developing together, like Starlink becoming a larger communications platform, Starship cutting launch costs, AI services generating revenue and Musk eventually commercialising computing infrastructure in orbit.
Oppenheimer reiterated an Outperform rating and $250 target after earnings, despite calling elevated capital spending a major concern.
Its analysts now expect SpaceX to reach $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2032, three years earlier than previously forecast, arguing that the company has historically excelled at execution.
Bank of America maintained a Buy rating, $235 target and expects SpaceX’s AI operation to generate about $24.5 billion of revenue in 2026.
The bank noted that the second-quarter report made it more positive on the company’s positioning.
Morgan Stanley retained an Overweight rating and $300 target. It raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $45 billion to $48 billion and expects $91 billion to $102 billion the following year.
Bernstein analysts led by Douglas Harned said they saw nothing fundamentally negative in the earnings report, suggesting the insider-share unlock probably contributed to the sell-off.
Thursday’s rebound supported that view. SpaceX rose even as more than 900 million shares became eligible for sale, suggesting part of the feared supply pressure was already priced in.
The bullish forecasts come with extraordinary spending assumptions.
Morgan Stanley lifted its capital-expenditure estimate to $64 billion for 2026 and $163 billion for 2027 as SpaceX accelerates its computing buildout.
Revenue growth may therefore remain accompanied by heavy financing needs for years.
Piper Sandler kept a Neutral rating and cut its target to $140, warning that lockup expirations could remain a valuation headwind until summer 2027.
It also noted that lucrative AI-cloud contracts can be cancelled, making their staying power difficult to assess.
Morningstar analyst Nicolas Owens offers the hardest challenge to Cramer’s thesis.
He values SpaceX at $62 a share and argues that the market price assumes highly optimistic outcomes for rapid Starship reusability and orbital data centres.
Shares of e-commerce and cloud computing leader Amazon.com (AMZN -0.14%) jumped 14% in July, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
For context, the S&P 500 index was essentially flat -- it slipped about 0.1% -- and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index declined 3.2%.
Through Thursday, Aug. 6, Amazon stock has gained 18% in 2026. The S&P 500 has returned 13.4% over this period.

Strong Q2 results On July 31, Amazon stock jumped 15.3%, following the release of its second-quarter results the prior afternoon.
Amazon reported quarterly revenue of $200.6 billion, up 20% year over year. This result easily beat Wall Street's consensus estimate of about $196.8 billion. Net income was $62.6 billion, or $5.75 per share, up 242% from $18.2 billion, or $1.68 per share, in the year-ago period.
The quarter's net income included a non-operating pre-tax "other income" of $53.4 billion, primarily from the company's investments in Anthropic, an artificial intelligence (AI) model maker best known for its Claude family of large-language models.

"AWS is booming, growing 36.7% year-over-year in Q2 -- our fastest growth in 18 quarters -- and our AI and Chips businesses each eclipsed run rates of more than $25 billion," said CEO Andy Jassy in the earnings release. Jassy also called out the company's record delivery speeds in the first half of the year: "Over 40% more items delivered same-day or overnight, with Grocery and Everyday Essentials growing meaningfully faster than the rest of the business." Lastly, Advertising had another strong quarter with 26% year-over-year growth, he added.
Looking ahead In the third quarter, Amazon expects revenue between $197.0 billion and $202.0 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 9% to 12%. Excluding the impact of Prime Day in both 2025 and 2026, the company said third-quarter growth would be nearly 400 basis points (0.4%) higher.
Operating income is expected to be between $22.5 billion and $26.5 billion, compared with $17.4 billion in the prior year's quarter. This would equate to growth of 29% to 52%.
In Q3 2025, operating income included two special charges: $2.5 billion related to a legal settlement with the Federal Trade Commission and $1.8 billion in estimated severance costs. Without these charges, operating income would have been $21.7 billion.
AWS zrychlil růst tržeb na 37 % a s marží 39,4 % vytvořil 61 % provozního zisku Amazonu ve 2. čtvrtletí. Firma zároveň plánuje investice do infrastruktury za 220 mld. USD.
SummaryI rate Amazon a buy over 12–36 months, given AWS-led earnings growth and improving retail economics, but not a Strong Buy due to valuation demands.AWS reaccelerated to 37% revenue growth and 39.4% margin, driving 61% of Q2 operating income from just 21% of revenue.Retail's profitability is rising, with North America delivering a 7.9% margin and third-party advertising and subscription services enhancing monetization.Amazon's $220B infrastructure spend must translate into revenue and cash flow by 2027 to justify the current 31.8x EV/operating income multiple. hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images
Executive Summary I rate Amazon as a buy over the next 12 to 36 months. Amazon’s operating results are better than they were a year ago, AWS has accelerated without giving up margin, and retail now

Cisco zvýšilo cíl AI infrastrukturních objednávek od hyperscalerů na 9 miliard USD ve fiskálním roce 2026 z 5 miliard USD. Ve třetím fiskálním čtvrtletí získalo 1,9 miliardy USD těchto objednávek.
Cisco Systems (CSCO -0.51%) has quietly become one of the year's big artificial intelligence (AI) trades. Shares of the networking giant closed Tuesday at $121.74, up 5% on the day and about 60% higher in 2026 as of this writing. That leaves it about 7% shy of its 52-week high ($130.37) -- for a company whose revenue grew 5% last fiscal year.
The number doing most of the work is $9 billion. That's how much in AI infrastructure orders Cisco now expects to take from hyperscalers (the giant cloud companies building AI data centers) in fiscal 2026, a target it raised from $5 billion on its fiscal third-quarter earnings call in May.
So, with shares priced like a growth stock again, how much growth can $9 billion of orders actually buy?
Image source: Getty Images.
The order book is moving fast Cisco took $1.9 billion of AI infrastructure orders from hyperscalers in its fiscal third quarter (the period ended April 25), more than triple the $600 million it took a year earlier. That brought the year-to-date total to $5.3 billion, which already exceeded the company's full-year expectation of $5 billion with a quarter still to go.
Hence the new target of about $9 billion for the full fiscal year -- 4.5 times the roughly $2 billion of such orders Cisco booked in all of fiscal 2025. And fiscal 2025's total had itself doubled the company's original $1 billion target.
I think those numbers hold up to a hard look, and the order growth is broad. Cisco's Acacia optics business, which makes high-speed optical connections for data centers, had its strongest quarter to date, taking more than $1 billion of orders in the fiscal third quarter. Management said the business was on track to grow more than 200% year over year in fiscal 2026.
The quarter was strong beyond the order book as well. Revenue climbed 12% from a year earlier, hitting a record $15.8 billion, and non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share came in at $1.06, up 10%. Both figures topped the high end of the company's guidance.
What the math says about growth But orders are not revenue. Cisco expects to recognize only about $4 billion of AI infrastructure revenue from hyperscalers in fiscal 2026. The rest converts later. Against full-year guided revenue of $62.8 billion to $63.0 billion, that's about 6% of the total.
Zoom out, and the company guided for fiscal 2026 revenue growth of about 11% over fiscal 2025's $56.7 billion. That's a clear step up for a company that grew 5% the year before, and AI orders are a big part of the reason.
In other words, the rest of Cisco's business (campus networking, cybersecurity, collaboration, service provider gear) still sets the base rate. A $9 billion year of orders, converting over time, can lift a $63 billion company's growth from mid-single digits to low double digits. It can't make a company this size grow like a pure AI supplier.
Earnings tell a similar story. Cisco guided for full-year adjusted earnings per share between $4.27 and $4.29, up about 12% from fiscal 2025.

Yet the stock trades at about 26 times forward earnings. And the dividend, at $1.68 per share annually, now yields about 1.4% -- roughly half what it yielded at the stock's 52-week low.
For that multiple to make sense, the AI order book has to keep compounding well past fiscal 2026, and the conversion of those orders into revenue has to stay on schedule. That could happen. The order growth says the demand is there.
Investors won't wait long to find out. Cisco's fiscal year ended in late July, so the $9 billion target is no longer a forecast with quarters left to run. It's a result waiting to be revealed, and the company reports its fiscal fourth quarter next Wednesday, Aug. 12.
So, should investors buy the stock after a run like this? I like what Cisco's order book says about demand, and an 11% growth year from this company is arguably a bigger change than it sounds. But at 26 times forward earnings for a business still guided to grow revenue about 11%, I'd want to see the $9 billion confirmed and hear the fiscal 2027 outlook before paying up. The report lands Wednesday. I can wait a few days.

Privia Health Group ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila upravenou EBITDA o 29 % na 37,4 mil. USD a zároveň zvedla výhled na celý rok 2026 po silném prvním pololetí.
Privia Health Group NASDAQ: PRVA reported second-quarter results marked by double-digit growth in implemented providers, attributed lives and practice collections, while adjusted EBITDA rose 29% from a year earlier. Management also raised its 2026 outlook for several financial measures following what Chief Executive Officer Parth Mehrotra described as strong first-half execution.
The company said implemented providers increased 10.1% year over year to 5,644 as of June 30, while value-based attributed lives rose 19.2%. Total practice collections grew 12.4% to $970 million during the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $37.4 million, representing 28.3% of care margin and a 310-basis-point improvement from the prior-year period.

For the first half of 2026, practice collections increased 13.4% to $1.88 billion, care margin rose 18.3%, and adjusted EBITDA climbed 32.5% to $74.1 million, according to Chief Financial Officer David Mountcastle.
Guidance Raised Following Strong First Half Mountcastle said Privia raised its 2026 outlook for attributed lives above the high end of its prior guidance range. The company also increased expectations to the high end of prior ranges for practice collections and GAAP revenue, and to the mid-to-high end of ranges for care margin, platform contribution and adjusted EBITDA.
The company did not change its outlook for implemented providers. At the midpoint of that guidance, Privia expects to add 570 providers in 2026, or growth of 10.6% over 2025, Mehrotra said.
When asked about guidance implying slower practice-collections growth in the second half, Mehrotra said the outlook reflected the company’s customary prudence rather than specific operational headwinds. He said ambulatory utilization remained favorable and noted that inpatient utilization trends reported by health systems do not directly apply to Privia’s business model.
Privia ended the quarter with more than $412 million in cash and no debt. Mountcastle said the company expects 70% to 80% of full-year adjusted EBITDA to convert to free cash flow, excluding capital deployment for business development and assuming it receives a significant portion of shared-savings cash payments for 2025 performance by year-end.
CMS Timing Could Affect Year-End Cash Flow Management said proposed changes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to the Medicare Shared Savings Program could delay final reconciliation results for the 2025 performance year until November if finalized. While Mountcastle said the development would have minimal impact on accruals, it could create an unusual year-end cash-flow dynamic depending on when CMS distributes payments and when Privia subsequently pays providers.
Mehrotra said the company was not concerned about ultimately receiving the payments. He said CMS has historically delivered results in August or September, followed by cash settlements around October, and characterized the potential delay as approximately 30 to 45 days.
Management viewed the broader MSSP proposals favorably. Mehrotra cited potential changes involving attribution, the addition of providers who have not previously participated in an ACO, and rebasing as constructive for the program. He said Privia remains supportive of direct contracting with the government through MSSP and expects the program to continue evolving.
Network Expansion and Value-Based Care Growth In late May, Privia announced its entry into New Jersey through a partnership with Neurology Group of Bergen County, which has 25 adult and pediatric clinicians. The move marked Privia’s 25th state. Mehrotra said the practice was too small to materially affect guidance but described New Jersey as an important market with substantial healthcare spending and independent-provider opportunities.
The company now operates across 25 states and the District of Columbia, with more than 1,300 care center locations serving over 6.1 million patients. Privia said it has averaged 98% gross provider retention over the past three years.
Privia managed more than 1.64 million attributed lives across over 130 commercial and government value-based care programs. Commercial attributed lives rose 11.7% to 942,000. Attributed lives in CMS Medicare programs increased 55%, while Medicare Advantage and Medicaid attribution increased more than 12% and 18%, respectively.
Mehrotra said Privia estimates it manages $15.7 billion in total medical spending through its value-based risk arrangements. He said the company’s goal is to continue increasing attribution while generating positive contribution margin across its value-based business.
Margin Strategy Includes AI and Operating Scale Management said it expects to move EBITDA margin toward the high end of its long-term target range of 30% to 35% of care margin over the next several years. Privia expects adjusted EBITDA to equal roughly 29% of care margin in 2026, Mehrotra said, placing the company near the low end of that long-term range.
The company cited scaling operations, maturation of newer markets and deployment of artificial intelligence tools as drivers of further margin expansion. Mehrotra said Privia is evaluating AI applications across corporate functions, fee-for-service workflows, value-based care workflows and patient-care processes.
Potential uses include revenue-cycle activities, patient experience, clinical decision-making, coding compliance and identifying suspect medical conditions. Mehrotra said Privia is measuring AI investments at a detailed workflow level based on time saved, outcomes achieved and costs reduced, and is tying its technology deployment to EBITDA margin improvement rather than pursuing spending without returns.
Privia also said its acquisitions of IMS and Evolent’s Care Partners business are progressing well and have been integrated into its operating cadence. Mehrotra said the Arizona-based IMS business provides momentum in a new state, while Care Partners expands Privia’s ability to work with providers through an ACO-focused model, including in markets where the company has not yet established a full medical group.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ACM presents non-GAAP gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, net income attributable to ACM Research, Inc. and basic and diluted earnings per share as supplemental measures to GAAP financial measures regarding ACM’s operational performance. These supplemental measures exclude the impact of stock-based compensation, which ACM does not believe is indicative of its core operating results. In addition, non-GAAP net income attributable to ACM Research, Inc. and basic and diluted earnings per share exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and unrealized gain (loss) on short-term investments, which ACM also believes are not indicative of its core operating results. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided below under “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
ACM believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in assessing its operating performance. ACM uses these financial measures internally to evaluate its operating performance and for planning and forecasting of future periods. Financial analysts may focus on and publish both historical results and future projections based on the non-GAAP financial measures. ACM also believes it is in the best interests of investors for ACM to provide this non-GAAP information.
While ACM believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be reported by competitors, and they may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in calculation methodologies. The non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative to GAAP information and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures. They should be used only as a supplement to GAAP information and should be considered only in conjunction with ACM’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adds Advanced Wet Etch and Monitor Wafer Reclaim Applications for Logic and Memory Manufacturing August 07, 2026 05:00 ET | Source: ACM Research, Inc.
FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACM Research, Inc. (“ACM”) (NASDAQ: ACMR), a leading supplier of wafer and panel processing solutions for semiconductor and advanced packaging applications, today announced that it has expanded its Ultra C Tahoe system into a multi-process wet processing platform with new process applications that support a broader range of advanced wet processing applications for logic and memory device manufacturing. The expanded platform has been adopted by multiple leading semiconductor manufacturers, demonstrating its production readiness, versatility and scalability for advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
Leveraging ACM's proprietary hybrid wet processing technology, the Ultra C Tahoe platform integrates batch and single wafer processes into a common architecture, enabling multiple advanced wet processes to be performed on a single platform. The platform fully leverages the advantages of batch cleaning, supporting longer process times and reducing chemical consumption, while also delivering the key benefits of single-wafer cleaning, including high particle removal efficiency, significantly reduced cross-contamination between wafers, and precise process time control. Recycle monitor wafer reclaim processing capabilities were recently added to the Ultra C Tahoe platform for advanced process node. The Ultra C Tahoe system leverages the hybrid architecture to consolidate multiple processing steps previously performed on separate tools into a single hybrid platform. This reduces wafer transfers between tools and shortens cycle time, while delivering improved particle removal performance and higher throughput.
“As semiconductor manufacturing becomes more complex, customers need solutions that improve productivity while remaining flexible enough to support evolving process requirements,” said Dr. David Wang, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACM. “Expanding Tahoe into a multi-process platform demonstrates the versatility of our hybrid architecture and its scalability for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. ACM will continue to drive world-class process performance and integrating environmental benefits into product development to help make advanced semiconductor manufacturing more efficient and sustainable.”
New Applications and key Benefits of the Ultra C Tahoe Platform:
Expanded Process Capabilities: The addition of bench nitrogen (N2) bubbling technology expands the platform to support a growing portfolio of advanced wet processing applications, including uniform silicon nitride recess etching, polysilicon etching and etch-back, tungsten recess processing, and silicon-germanium recess etching. Together with ACM's proprietary SAPS, TEBO, SMT technologies, as well as hot IPA drying, the expanded platform provides integrated etching, advanced cleaning, and drying capabilities while minimizing damage to patterned structures.More Efficient Monitor Wafer Reclaim: Monitor wafer is used to track tool conditions and process stability. Tahoe Recycle monitor wafer reclaim process supports film and residue removal, cleaning, and drying. It consolidates these steps into a single hybrid platform, reducing wafer transfers between tools and shortening cycle time. The process also provides enhanced film-removal capability for double-side-coated and thick-film wafers, improving reclaimed-wafer cleanliness and overall process efficiency. The Tahoe Recycle application is now running in volume production at customer facilities.Enhanced Particle and Contamination Control: The Ultra C Tahoe platform has achieved an average particle count of fewer than 6 particles at 26 nm, with surface metal contamination below 1 × 10⁹ atoms/cm².Environmental and Cost Benefits: The Ultra C Tahoe platform can reduce sulfuric acid consumption by up to 75%, helping lower high-volume manufacturing costs, reduce related chemical waste and support customers’ sustainability and ESG goals.

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 7, 2026) - Arrow Exploration Corp. (AIM: AXL) (TSXV: AXL) ("Arrow" or the "Company"), the high-growth operator with a portfolio of assets across key Colombian hydrocarbon basins, is pleased to provide an update on operational activity at the Icaco field on the Tapir Block in the Llanos Basin of Colombia where Arrow holds a 50 percent beneficial interest.
Icaco-3 Well
The Icaco 3 well (IC-3) was spud on July 2, 2026, and reached target depth on July 9, 2026. The IC-3 well was drilled, on time and under budget, to a total measured depth of 7,710 TMD feet (Total Measured Depth), or 7,622 TVD feet (True Vertical Depth) and encountered multiple hydrocarbon-bearing intervals.
Log analysis shows 18 feet of net pay in the Carbonera C7 formation ("C7"), 12 feet of net pay in the Gacheta formation and 20 feet of net pay in the Ubaque formation, for a total net pay of 50 feet TVD.
The well is currently producing from the Gacheta formation at a restricted rate, 19/128 choke and 38 Hz pump frequency, of approximately 250 BOPD gross (125 BOPD net). The oil quality is 25.3° API and there is a lower than 1% water cut.
Management considers the Gacheta production a very important feature in the Icaco discovery not only to prove reserves but also to determine the optimum way to develop the formation and maximize recovery from future wells. The results of the IC-3 production test will be reflected in reserves additions for Arrow at the next reserve report update.
Icaco-4 Horizontal Well
The Icaco 4 horizontal well (IC-HZ4) was spud on June 13, 2026, and reached target depth on June 25, 2026. The IC-HZ4 well was drilled, on time and under budget, to a total measured depth of 12,617 feet TMD or 7,297 feet TVD and encountered multiple hydrocarbon-bearing intervals.
Arrow put IC-HZ4, a short horizontal well, on production on July 2, 2026 in the Ubaque formation. The pay zone is a clean sandstone exhibiting an average porosity of 23% with high resistivities. An electric submersible pump ("ESP") has been inserted in the well after perforating. During the clean-up period the well reached a maximum rate of 799 BOPD gross (399 BOPD net) before settling into the current stable production rate of 150 BOPD gross (75 BOPD net).
Although logs are showing extended areas with high oil saturation along the horizontal section, management believes that during the completion operation ICD valves were placed too close to a water bearing zone, causing the water to overtake and reduce the oil production in the well. Management is looking at alternatives to maximize oil production efficiency in this well.
The IC-HZ4 well also encountered approximately 23 feet of net oil pay TVD in the C7 and 10 feet of net oil pay TVD in the Gacheta formation.
Icaco-5 Horizontal Well
The Icaco 5 horizontal well (IC-HZ5) was spud on July 16, 2026, and reached target depth on July 27, 2026. The IC-HZ5 well was drilled, on time and under budget, to a total measured depth of 11,914 feet TMD or 7,274 feet TVD and encountered multiple hydrocarbon-bearing intervals.
Arrow put IC-HZ5, short horizontal well, on production on August 3, 2026 in the Ubaque formation. The pay zone is a clean sandstone exhibiting an average porosity of 23% with high resistivities. An ESP has been inserted in the well after perforating. The well is still cleaning up and is producing at a current rate of 1,270 BOPD gross (635 BOPD net).
The IC-HZ5 well also encountered approximately 20 feet of net oil pay (true vertical depth) in the C7 formation.
Flow Test Results
The ultimate flow rate will be determined in the first few weeks of production.
Initial production results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery.
Forward Drilling Plans
Five additional cellars have been built at Icaco to continue the drilling program. IC-6 will be a vertical well with Carbonera C7, Gacheta and Ubaque targets.
Production
Including production from the IC-3, IC-HZ4 and IC-HZ5 wells, total gross corporate production is over 5,000 boe/d. Currently the CN-HZ12 well is offline whilst the workover work to restore production is underway. The well was producing approximately 330 BOPD gross (165 BOPD net) when it was shut in. Arrow has continued to shut in the Pepper gas field due to low natural gas prices in Alberta, which was producing approximately 130 boe/d when it was shut in. The Company believes that AECO gas prices will improve in the third and fourth quarter of 2026 once the region moves into the winter months. At that time the Pepper field is expected to be brought back on production.
Cash Balance
As of August 1, 2026, the Company's estimated cash balance is US$27.5 million. The Company continues to have no debt.
Tapir Extension
Arrow and its partner in the Tapir block continue to be encouraged with the dialogue with the Colombian authorities regarding the extension of the Tapir block. Arrow believes that all conditions required for the extension to be granted have been met and management remains very confident that the extension will be granted. The Company will continue to update the market on developments as they occur. Colombia elected a new President, Abelardo De La Espriella, in June. The transition to the new President will take place in August. President De La Espriella has discussed Colombia needing more oil and gas development, and Arrow is looking forward to being a part of the President's vision.
Marshall Abbott, CEO of Arrow commented:
"The success of the Icaco-3 well indicates that the Gacheta formation is able to produce commercial rates. The Icaco-4 and Icaco-5 horizontal wells had very short horizontal sections to prove the Ubaque's ability to produce from a horizontal well. Future projects at Icaco are expected to include both horizontal and vertical development wells targeting the Ubaque, Gacheta and C7. These results underline the significant hydrocarbon density that exists in the Llanos basin and more exclusively in the Tapir Block.
"Strong netbacks and successful horizontal wells support payout occurring in months. This adds significant value and materially improves our positive balance sheet. We look forward to updating our shareholders on the progress at Icaco over the coming months."
Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branch of its 100% owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and offer high potential growth. The Company's business plan is to expand oil production from some of Colombia's most active basins, including the Llanos, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is predominantly operated with high working interests, and the Brent-linked light oil pricing exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential operating margins. By way of a private commercial contract with the recognized interest holder before Ecopetrol S.A., Arrow is entitled to receive 50% of the production from the Tapir block. The formal assignment to the Company is subject to Ecopetrol's consent. Arrow's seasoned team is led by a hands-on executive team supported by an experienced board. Arrow is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".

Meta zvýšila plán kapitálových výdajů až na 145 miliard USD letos, což vyvolalo obavy z prudkého poklesu volného cash flow. Tržby přitom ve čtvrtletí meziročně vzrostly o 28 %.
Few fortunes move in straight lines, but Mark Zuckerberg's has been especially jumpy this summer. Twice in a matter of weeks, the value of his stake in Meta Platforms (META +0.19%) shifted by more than $18 billion in a single stretch, once soaring and once sinking. Those swings are not just billionaire trivia. They are a live readout of a debate splitting Wall Street over the company's enormous bet on artificial intelligence (AI).

Two swings, one argument The first move was up. A blowout earnings report sent Meta's stock to record highs near $780 and added roughly $26.8 billion to Zuckerberg's net worth in a single day, as investors cheered surging revenue and his pitch to build "personal superintelligence" for everyone.

The reversal came soon after. When Meta detailed just how much it plans to spend, guiding capital expenditures toward as much as $145 billion this year, up from around $72 billion in 2025, the mood flipped. The stock suffered its worst day of the year, and Zuckerberg's fortune dropped roughly $18 billion.
What changed was not the business but the price tag. Revenue is still climbing at a healthy clip, up 28% from a year earlier last quarter. But free cash flow, the money left over after all that investing, nearly vanished as spending on chips, servers, and data centers ballooned. Some investors see visionary empire-building. Others see a company pouring almost every dollar it earns into an unproven future.
To me, the whipsaw is the message. When a stock lurches this hard on spending plans rather than on sales, it means the market has reached no consensus on whether the AI build-out will pay off. That uncertainty cuts both ways. Zuckerberg has a history of costly bets that critics mocked before they worked, from Reels to mobile, and if his AI infrastructure sharpens ad targeting and powers new products, today's outlays could look like a bargain in hindsight. But there is no guarantee, and any returns may take years to appear, if they appear at all.
For investors, the takeaway is to stop watching the daily net-worth headlines and start deciding what you actually believe. Meta is no longer simply an advertising machine. It has become one of the largest AI-infrastructure bets in the market, and owning it now means accepting sharp swings and a long time horizon. If you trust that the spending will earn its keep, the volatility is just noise. If you do not, the collapsing free cash flow is a warning worth heeding. Either way, size the position for a bumpy ride.
Holdingová společnost Porsche SE, která je hlavním akcionářem německého automobilového koncernu Volkswagen, se v pololetí propadla do čisté ztráty 2,22 miliardy eur (téměř 54 miliard Kč) po zisku 338 milionů eur před rokem. Oznámila to v dnešní tiskové zprávě. Zároveň automobilku Volkswagen vyzvala, aby podnikla rychlé kroky k posílení konkurenceschopnosti.
Za rozsáhlou pololetní ztrátou společnosti Porsche SE stojí zejména snížení účetní hodnoty podílu v automobilce Volkswagen. Ta se v poslední době potýká s řadou problémů, včetně vysokých nákladů, nadbytečných kapacit, rostoucí čínské konkurence nebo amerických cel. Součástí koncernu Volkswagen je i Škoda Auto.
"Skupina Volkswagen se nachází na historické křižovatce. V zájmu firmy a její dlouhodobé konkurenceschopnosti musejí všichni zúčastnění převzít zodpovědnost. Čím déle se budou rozhodnutí odkládat, tím větší budou problémy," uvedl předseda představenstva holdingu Porsche SE Hans Dieter Pötsch. "Nyní je potřeba soustředit se výhradně na to, co je z podnikatelského a ekonomického hlediska nezbytné. Vše ostatní musí ustoupit do pozadí," dodal.
Člen představenstva holdingu zodpovědný za finance Johannes Lattwein pak označil za nezbytné odbourat nadbytečné výrobní kapacity, výrazně snížit náklady a zásadně zlepšit rozhodovací a řídicí procesy. "Jako většinový vlastník kmenových akcií Volkswagenu proto Porsche SE podporuje vedení koncernu a jeho návrhy," uvedl. "Cílem je konkurenceschopnost. Ve snaze o její zajištění je potřeba zvážit každou možnost. Jinak Volkswagenu hrozí, že v mezinárodní konkurenci natrvalo ustoupí do pozadí," dodal.
Volkswagen chystá rozsáhlou restrukturalizaci aktivit zahrnující drastické omezení výroby. Podle nedávné zprávy agentury Reuters by v koncernu mohlo v příštích letech zaniknout až 140.000 pracovních míst. Na konci loňského roku koncern podle své výroční zprávy zaměstnával kolem 663.000 lidí.
Škoda Auto nicméně v červenci uvedla, že restrukturalizační plán koncernu nemá přímý dopad na její aktivity. Škoda Auto patří mezi největší zaměstnavatele v České republice, kde provozuje tři výrobní závody a má zhruba 36.500 zaměstnanců včetně agenturních.
Koncern Volkswagen v červenci oznámil, že zisk po zdanění se mu v pololetí propadl o 30,7 procenta na 3,1 miliardy eur (zhruba 75 miliard Kč). Provozní zisk se snížil téměř o 12 procent na 5,9 miliardy eur, zatímco provozní zisk samotné Škody Auto zhruba o šest procent vzrostl a dosáhl téměř 1,4 miliardy eur.
Holding Porsche SE ovládaný rodinami Porscheů a Piëchů není totožný s výrobcem sportovních vozů Porsche AG, který je samostatnou dceřinou firmou koncernu Volkswagenu. V roce 2022 vstoupily akcie společnosti Porsche AG na burzu, Volkswagen nicméně zůstal jejím většinovým vlastníkem.
Eastman Kodak (NYSE:KODK) reported higher second-quarter revenue, profit and operational EBITDA, marking its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year gains in those measures, as growth in its Advanced Materials & Chemicals and Print businesses helped offset higher commodity costs.
For the quarter ended June 30, Kodak posted revenue of $311 million, up 18% from $263 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross profit increased 61% to $82 million, while gross margin rose to 26% from 19% a year earlier. The company reported GAAP net income of $17 million, compared with a net loss of $26 million in the second quarter of 2025.
“If I had to summarize our performance in the Q2, it would be stability and growth,” Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Continenza said on the company’s earnings call. He said the company’s gains in revenue, gross profit and operational EBITDA, as well as its deleveraging efforts, reflect a long-term plan that Kodak has pursued over the past seven years.
Operational EBITDA and First-Half Results Operational EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, rose to $36 million in the second quarter from $9 million a year earlier. Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President David Bullwinkle said improved pricing and higher volumes more than offset higher aluminum and silver costs, as well as increased selling, general and administrative expenses.
Bullwinkle also cited a $20 million increase in earnings from operations, a $9 million reduction in interest expense and a $28 million improvement in other income and charges, net, as contributors to the company’s year-over-year improvement in GAAP net income. The other-income comparison primarily reflected the absence of asset impairment charges in the current-year quarter, compared with a $17 million charge in the prior-year period.
Those improvements were partly offset by an $11 million decline in non-cash pension income following the termination of the KRIP pension plan in the fourth quarter of 2025. Kodak expects pension income to remain below prior-year levels throughout 2026 because of the plan termination and asset reversion, Bullwinkle said.
For the first six months of 2026, Kodak reported revenue of $576 million, an increase of $66 million, or 13%, from the year-earlier period. Currency fluctuations contributed a favorable $7 million to first-half revenue. Gross profit rose 43% to $139 million, and gross margin reached 24%, compared with 19% in the first half of 2025.
First-half GAAP net income was $1 million, compared with a $33 million net loss in the prior-year period. Operational EBITDA increased to $51 million from $11 million.
Segment Growth Kodak’s Advanced Materials & Chemicals, or AM&C, segment generated second-quarter revenue of $105 million, up 40% from $75 million in the previous year’s quarter. Continenza said the company has reinvested in the business, which he described as tied closely to Kodak’s expertise in layering and coating.
Within AM&C, Kodak said it offers a range of still films directly to distributors to support market stability and customer demand. Continenza also pointed to continued demand for motion-picture film and cited films that used Kodak products, including “The Odyssey,” which he said was shot on 65mm film and exhibited in 70mm at IMAX theaters, and Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day,” which he said used Kodak’s VISION3 AHU film structure.
The company also launched its first pharmaceutical web store and added saline products to its portfolio. Kodak said it continues to work toward Class II certification that would allow it to manufacture more complex and higher-margin pharmaceutical products.
In battery coating, Kodak is investing capital in equipment intended to expand its ability to coat electrodes at large scale. The company said its pilot facility is also being used to help customers scale emerging technologies.
Print, Kodak’s largest division, recorded revenue of $195 million, up 10% from $178 million a year ago. Continenza said the business continued to grow despite supply constraints, inflation and competitive conditions. He said Kodak continues to supply customers globally across the three markets where it manufactures products.
Cash, Debt and Inventory Kodak ended the quarter with $290 million of unrestricted cash, down $47 million from Dec. 31, 2025. Bullwinkle said the decline primarily reflected required term-loan repayments, partly offset by proceeds from the redemption of KRIP investment assets.
During the quarter, Kodak received $41 million in cash proceeds from hedge fund investment redemptions related to the KRIP pension reversion. Cumulative proceeds through June 30 totaled $87 million.
The company made an additional $50 million principal payment on higher-rate term loans in June, bringing year-to-date principal repayments to $100 million. Kodak said the repayments were largely funded by KRIP asset redemptions and would reduce future interest expense. Its net cash position rose to $180 million at June 30 from $128 million at the end of 2025.
Working capital was affected by a $37 million inventory increase. The bulk of that increase occurred in AM&C during the first quarter, driven by silver prices that Kodak said were more than double year-end levels and by higher silver volumes held under supply terms. The company also built inventory ahead of a planned second-quarter maintenance shutdown.
Looking ahead, Continenza said Kodak intends to focus on growth, execution and innovation. He said the company acquired an R&D division to support innovation, efficiency and quality control, while continuing to prioritize industrial manufacturing opportunities with high barriers to entry and potential returns on investment.

Kimco Realty ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila FFO na 0,46 USD na akcii a zvedla spodní hranici celoročního výhledu FFO na 1,83 USD na akcii. Zároveň navýšila čtvrtletní dividendu o 12 %.
Kimco Realty (NYSE:KIM) reported second-quarter funds from operations of $0.46 per diluted share, up 4.5% from a year earlier, as higher rents, improving credit trends and strong leasing activity supported results. The shopping center REIT also raised the lower end of its full-year FFO outlook and increased its quarterly common dividend by 12% from the prior-year period.
CEO Conor Flynn said the company’s portfolio continued to benefit from retailer demand for open-air, grocery-anchored centers, while new shopping center development remains limited in its markets. Same-property net operating income rose 3.5% in the quarter, driven by higher minimum rents and stronger net recoveries.
“Kimco has the right platform, portfolio, and balance sheet to drive sustainable earnings growth,” Flynn said, citing retailer demand, shopper traffic, a signed-but-not-open leasing pipeline, capital recycling and balance-sheet management.
Occupancy and Leasing Trends Kimco’s pro-rata portfolio occupancy matched its all-time high of 96.4%, despite a 16-basis-point impact from lease rejections connected to the Painted Tree bankruptcy. Small-shop occupancy reached a record 92.9%, while anchor occupancy was 97.8%, down 10 basis points sequentially but up 110 basis points year over year.
David Jamieson, executive vice president and chief operating officer, said Kimco signed 461 leases covering 2.5 million square feet during the quarter at a blended lease spread of 13.1%. New leases accounted for 161 transactions and 685,000 pro-rata square feet, with a blended spread of 40.4%.
The quarter marked Kimco’s 19th consecutive period of double-digit new-lease spreads, according to Jamieson. Renewal and option activity totaled 300 deals covering 1.9 million square feet, with a blended spread of 7%.
Kimco replaced a former Rite Aid at Marketplace of Victoria with Japanese-inspired home goods retailer Teso Life. Woodlawn Marketplace in Charlotte, North Carolina, added Lowes Foods. The company signed its first Uniqlo lease within its lifestyle portfolio. Non-anchor leasing was broad-based, with strength in fitness, health and wellness, restaurants and professional services. Kimco’s signed-not-open pipeline represented $95 million of annual base rent, including $75 million of incremental rent. The company expects 48% of the incremental pipeline to commence by year-end. Jamieson said Kimco now projects $33 million of rent commencements in 2026, 16% above its initial estimate, including $24 million from tenants that opened during the first half and $9 million expected in the second half.
Foot traffic across the portfolio increased 3% year over year, including 3.2% growth in June, Flynn said. In response to an analyst question, management said spending growth was strongest among higher-income consumers, but remained positive among lower-income shoppers. Jamieson cited spending growth of about 5.5% among middle-income consumers and 3.5% among lower-income consumers.
Capital Recycling and Mixed-Use Monetization Kimco continued to recycle capital from lower-growth assets into grocery-anchored properties with higher expected growth. During the quarter, the company acquired Pompano Marketplace, a Walmart-anchored center in Pompano Beach, Florida, for $53 million, and Sunshine Plaza, a Publix-anchored center in a first-ring Fort Lauderdale suburb, for $56 million.
Pompano Marketplace was the third acquisition sourced through Kimco’s structured investment program. President and Chief Investment Officer Ross Cooper said the property had initially been financed through the program, where Kimco served as senior lender at an 8% yield. Kimco later used contractual rights to acquire the property when its borrower sought to sell.
Cooper said the acquired South Florida centers had compound annual growth rates more than 350 basis points above the Costco properties Kimco sold as part of its disposition initiative. The company said the Costco assets had annual growth below 1% and a sub-6% unlevered internal rate of return over a 10-year hold, compared with an expected unlevered IRR above 9% for the replacement properties.
The company also completed the sale of The Milton, a 253-unit multifamily building at its Pentagon Centre mixed-use project in Pentagon City, Virginia. Cooper described the sale as Kimco’s first full-cycle monetization of a ground-up multifamily development within its value-add redevelopment program. The Milton sold at a 4.9% capitalization rate.
Kimco expects to consider monetizing the second residential tower at Pentagon Centre, The Witmer, next, though Cooper said no formal timetable has been established. Management said it evaluates each mixed-use project individually and retains flexibility to hold, develop, sell or structure assets through joint ventures and preferred-equity arrangements.
Balance Sheet, Outlook and Dividend Executive Vice President and CFO Glenn Cohen said second-quarter FFO totaled $309.2 million, compared with $297.6 million a year earlier. Credit loss was 57 basis points in the quarter, down from 89 basis points in the comparable 2025 period. Year-to-date credit loss was 54 basis points.
Kimco ended the quarter with consolidated net debt to EBITDA of 5.2 times, or 5.5 times including pro-rata joint venture debt and preferred stock. Total liquidity was $2.7 billion, including $700 million of cash, much of which Cohen said is expected to be used for 2026 debt maturities.
During the quarter, Kimco issued $600 million of 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2031. The offering was upsized due to investor demand. The notes have an initial exchange price of approximately $32.36 per share, a 27.5% premium to Kimco’s stock price at issuance. In connection with the offering, the company repurchased approximately 4.1 million common shares for $104.7 million.
Kimco raised the lower end of its 2026 FFO outlook to $1.83 per diluted share from $1.81, while maintaining the upper end at $1.84. It also increased its same-property NOI growth forecast to 3% to 3.5%, from a prior range of 2.8% to 3.5%, and tightened its credit-loss outlook to 55 to 75 basis points from 65 to 90 basis points.
The board declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.28 per share, or $1.12 on an annualized basis. Cohen said the increase reflects growth in operating cash flows, earnings and taxable income.

NEW YORK, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” “CGBD” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CGBD) today announced its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Alex Chi, CGBD’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “CGBD had another strong quarter of earnings in the second quarter, with full coverage on the updated quarterly dividend and low non-accruals. We continued to ramp our fee-free joint venture complex, achieving high-teens returns at both investment funds during the second quarter. Looking to the second half of the year, we are focused on continuing to deliver stable income and consistent credit performance, while taking share in the broader direct lending market by leveraging the OneCarlyle platform.”
For the second quarter of 2026, we reported $0.35 per common share of Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Investment Income, a non-GAAP financial measure described below.
Net asset value per common share decreased by 1.8% for the second quarter to $15.61 from $15.89 as of March 31, 2026. The total fair value of our investments increased to $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2026.
Dividends
On July 29, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.35 per share. The dividend is payable on October 16, 2026 to common stockholders of record on September 30, 2026.
Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Friday, August 7, 2026 to discuss these financial results. The conference call will be available via public webcast via a link on our website and will also be available on our website soon after the call’s completion.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
On a supplemental basis, we are disclosing Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Common Share, which is calculated and presented on a basis other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). We use this non-GAAP financial measure internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance, and we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate our ongoing results and trends and to review our performance without giving effect to (i) the amortization/accretion resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired and accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and (ii) the one-time purchase or non-recurring investment income and expense events, including the effects on incentive fees. In addition, the Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measure described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare the Company’s financial results with those of other business development companies that have not had similar one-time or non-recurring events. The presentation of this non-GAAP measure is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.
Starting in the first quarter of 2025, the adjustment to net investment income per common share to determine Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Common Share represents the difference between GAAP amortization under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and management’s non-GAAP measure of amortization related to assets acquired in connection with the CSL III merger on March 27, 2025, and the remaining interest in Middle Market Credit Fund II on February 11, 2025. This adjustment reflects management’s view of the economic yield on the acquired assets and is consistent with our internal evaluation of performance.

Knife River ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby o 13 % díky rekordnímu backlogu, ale upravená EBITDA zůstala prakticky beze změny kvůli dražší naftě a zpožděním projektů. Firma zároveň zvýšila výhled tržeb pro rok 2026 na 3,4 až 3,6 miliardy USD.
Knife River (NYSE:KNF) reported second-quarter revenue growth of 13% year over year as it converted a record backlog into higher sales, while adjusted EBITDA was flat on a reported basis amid higher diesel costs, weather-related project delays and lower-margin contracting work.
President and Chief Executive Officer Brian Gray said adjusted EBITDA increased 7% from the prior-year period when excluding gains on asset sales in both quarters. He characterized the company’s underlying operating performance as solid, citing double-digit volume growth in materials, higher gross profit across aggregates, ready-mix and asphalt, and an 8% increase in aggregate pricing on a product-mix-adjusted basis.
“The fundamentals of our business are strong,” Gray said, pointing to price optimization, cost controls and operational improvement efforts.
Fuel, Weather and Project Timing Weighed on Results Gray said higher diesel prices raised costs by approximately $10 million year over year during the quarter. Knife River recovered $4 million through fuel surcharges in the second quarter and expects to recoup an additional $4 million through escalators in Department of Transportation contracts during the third quarter, reflecting a one- to two-month lag in public-agency reimbursements.
The company estimated that project timing shifts and adverse weather reduced quarterly adjusted EBITDA by about $10 million. In Texas, excessive rain and schedule changes delayed asphalt production and paving on two major highway projects. In Hawaii, a modified construction schedule delayed the P-209 project, affecting concrete and cement volumes. Alaska’s unusually cold winter extended road restrictions until June 15, delaying the construction season by more than a month.
Gray said the affected projects were not canceled, but some of the expected work has shifted to later periods. In particular, most of the volume missed on the Texas highway projects is expected to move into 2027 because crews already have full schedules for the rest of the current year.
Contracting-services results also reflected a change in the type and timing of work. The company performed more asphalt paving during the quarter, which Gray described as lower-risk and generally lower-margin work than the larger general-contracting roadway expansion jobs performed a year earlier. He said performance and quality bonuses on paving jobs are typically received later in projects, and Knife River expects to recognize some of those gains during the second half.
The company estimated that these market dynamics, including the timing of project incentives, reduced second-quarter adjusted EBITDA by approximately $8 million.
Materials Volumes Rise Across Product Lines Chief Financial Officer Nathan Ring said aggregate volumes increased 14%, supported primarily by internal demand from the company’s downstream operations. About 75% of aggregate volume growth came from legacy operations and 25% from acquisitions, Gray said. Knife River now expects full-year aggregate volumes to rise by a high-single-digit percentage.
Reported aggregate pricing rose 3%, but Ring said the figure was affected by sales of 630,000 tons of lower-priced natural fines. Adjusting for product mix, aggregate pricing increased 8%. The company continues to expect aggregate pricing to rise by a mid-single-digit percentage on a reported basis for the full year.
Aggregate gross profit increased 12%, though gross margin declined slightly because of increased delivery volumes and higher fuel costs. Aggregate deliveries rose 41% year over year, and delivery revenue and fuel surcharges generally carry lower margins than materials sold at company plants.
Ready-mix volumes increased 15%, aided by the Texcrete acquisition, while gross profit rose 21% and gross margin improved 80 basis points. Asphalt volumes rose 24%, including a 44% increase in internal asphalt volumes tied to more paving activity. Gross profit also increased 24%, while gross margin improved 50 basis points. Contracting-services revenue increased 20%, although margins declined due to project mix, incentive timing and lower-margin legacy jobs acquired in the Mountain segment. Ring said the acquired legacy projects are being completed and replaced with new work, with most of the remaining impact expected to occur in the third quarter. He said Knife River expects second-half contracting-services margins to be in line with those reported in the second half of the prior year.
Backlog, Guidance and Capital Allocation Knife River expanded backlog by about $50 million sequentially to $1.2 billion at the end of the second quarter. Ring said the company expects approximately 55% of its full-year adjusted EBITDA to be generated in the third quarter, assuming normal weather and stable operating conditions.
The company raised its 2026 revenue outlook to a range of $3.4 billion to $3.6 billion and reaffirmed adjusted EBITDA guidance of $520 million to $560 million. Ring said the company is guiding toward the midpoint of that EBITDA range following the second-quarter headwinds.
During the quarter, Knife River invested $48 million in maintenance and operational improvements and $35 million in growth initiatives, including acquisitions and organic expansion. It also amended its Term Loan B agreement, increasing borrowings by $400 million while lowering its interest rate. Net leverage was 3.2 times at the end of June, compared with 3.1 times a year earlier.
Acquisitions and Organic Growth Projects Gray said acquisitions remain a central component of Knife River’s growth strategy. Since its 2023 spin-off, the company has integrated 16 acquisitions. He highlighted Strata, which expanded Knife River’s Central segment and added aggregate reserves and rail distribution sites. Supported by a record North Dakota DOT budget and full integration efforts, Knife River expects Strata to post a record year and exceed its original EBITDA projections by more than 15%.
The company has invested about $140 million in organic initiatives over the past 18 months, primarily in aggregate reserve expansions and greenfield projects. One major project is an approximately $85 million rail-served quarry near Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with roughly 70 million tons of quartzite reserves and access to two Class I railroads. The first phase is expected to become operational in the first half of next year.
Gray also said Knife River’s Spokane, Washington, prestress facility secured a substantial contract during the second quarter to supply components for a semiconductor facility in Idaho. He said the company sees growing opportunities tied to data centers, advanced manufacturing, energy infrastructure and future bridge replacement work.
Gray closed by noting that the company recorded the safest second quarter in its history and said management remains focused on execution during the remainder of the construction season.

Jackson Financial oznámila rekordní upravený provozní zisk za 2. čtvrtletí 2026, 7,30 USD na akcii, a potvrdila celoroční cíle tvorby volného kapitálu i návratnosti pro akcionáře.
Jackson Financial (NYSE:JXN) reported record adjusted operating earnings in the second quarter of 2026, supported by higher fee income, growth in spread-based products and strong equity-market performance. The company also said it remains on track to meet its full-year free capital generation and shareholder-return targets.
Adjusted operating earnings were $7.30 per diluted share for the quarter, a company record. Pre-tax adjusted operating earnings totaled $618 million, or $648 million excluding notable items. On that basis, earnings increased 50% from a year earlier, Chief Financial Officer Don Cummings said, citing expanding spread-based assets, growth in fee-based assets under management and higher net investment income.
Excluding $0.36 per share in notable items and normalizing for the difference between the company’s actual tax rate and its 15% tax guidance, adjusted operating earnings were $7.68 per diluted share, up 55% year over year. The notable item reflected limited partnership results that fell below Jackson’s long-term 10% return assumption.
Retail annuity sales accelerate Retail annuity sales approached $6 billion in the second quarter, up 34% from a year earlier and higher than the first quarter. President and CEO Laura Prieskorn said sales increased across all product categories.
Registered index-linked annuity, or RILA, sales exceeded $2.3 billion, rising 69% from the prior-year period and marking a quarterly record. RILA assets under management surpassed $26 billion. Jackson launched Market Link Pro 4 and Market Link Pro Advisory 4 in June, products that include an index option linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Spread-based products represented 54% of total sales during the quarter, Cummings said. Fixed and fixed-index annuity sales totaled $812 million, up 73% from a year earlier, aided by the company’s Jackson Income Assurance product. For the first half, fixed-index annuity sales reached $1.3 billion.
Non-variable annuity net inflows were $2.9 billion, an increase of 65% from the prior-year quarter and 16% sequentially. Total retail annuity net outflows declined for a second consecutive quarter and improved 20% in the first half compared with the same period in 2025, Prieskorn said.
Variable annuity surrenders were influenced by equity-market gains, with separate-account returns of 12.9% during the quarter contributing more than $27 billion of investment gains in variable annuity assets under management. Those gains exceeded variable annuity net outflows by more than $22 billion, according to Cummings.
Combined retail annuity and institutional account value exceeded $295 billion at quarter end, up 10% sequentially. Nearly 40% of Jackson’s in-force book consisted of spread-based and investment-only variable annuity products, reflecting the company’s diversification efforts.
Capital generation, liquidity and investment strategy Jackson generated $575 million in free cash flow during the first half, up 14% from a year earlier, and returned $547 million to common shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Second-quarter capital returns totaled $290 million.
After-tax statutory capital generation was $656 million in the second quarter, while free capital generation was $304 million. Cummings said free capital generation reflected higher required capital associated with new business production, equity-market effects and sales patterns under the risk-based capital framework.
The company maintained its full-year targets of at least $1.2 billion in free capital generation and $900 million to $1.1 billion in capital returns to common shareholders. Total adjusted capital ended the quarter at $5.8 billion, with an estimated risk-based capital ratio of 538%, above the company’s 425% risk-appetite level.
Holding-company cash and investments totaled nearly $1.4 billion at quarter end. Jackson issued $750 million of senior debt during the quarter, pre-funding $650 million of debt maturities due in 2027 and adding $100 million of holding-company liquidity. The company expanded its revolving credit facility to $1.25 billion from $1 billion and extended its maturity to 2031 from 2028. Total available liquidity at Jackson Financial Inc. was about $4 billion, including cash, highly liquid securities and the undrawn credit facility. Cummings said new money was invested at rates above the existing portfolio yield, with new-money yield about 100 basis points above the overall portfolio yield during the quarter. PPM America, Jackson’s investment management subsidiary, surpassed $100 billion in assets under management. The company said its partnership with TPG is expanding investment sourcing capabilities, including in direct lending and asset-backed finance.
Hedging and leadership transition Jackson reported an overall net hedge gain of $2 million after isolating implied-volatility effects on market risk benefits. Gains in RILA and fixed-index annuity businesses were largely offset by losses in variable annuities. Brian Walta, head of planning and asset liability management, said the company manages the RILA and variable annuity liabilities independently and seeks economic and statutory outcomes rather than GAAP accounting results alone.
Prieskorn also confirmed that she will retire at the end of 2026 after nearly 40 years with Jackson. Cummings will become president and CEO on Oct. 1, while Walta will succeed him as chief financial officer.
“This transition reflects the strength of Jackson’s organization and the thoughtful succession planning process in place to ensure continuity, stability, and long-term success,” Prieskorn said.

Cboe Clear Europe od 24. srpna rozšíří clearing SFT i na půjčování cenných papírů. Nově pokryje vládní a korporátní dluhopisy z EU, Švýcarska, Británie i USA.
Service expected to launch on August 24, covering EU, Swiss, UK and U.S. government and corporate bonds Builds on successful launch of SFT service in 2025, initially covering European equities and ETFs Demonstrates Cboe's commitment to enhancing its global clearing services , /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), a leading global markets operator and pioneer in equity and index derivatives, today announced that Cboe Clear Europe, its pan-European clearing house, plans to expand its Securities Financing Transactions (SFT) clearing service to include the lending of Fixed Income instruments1 beginning August 24 - a significant milestone in the firm's strategy to bring the benefits of central clearing to the global securities lending market.
The service will include certain EU, Swiss and UK government and corporate bonds for all lenders and borrowers, along with U.S. Treasuries and U.S. corporate bonds for non-U.S. lenders and borrowers. Settlement will take place via Euroclear Bank for European and Swiss instruments, CREST for UK instruments, the Federal Reserve for U.S. Treasuries, and the Depository Trust Company for U.S. corporate bonds.
"The addition of Fixed Income securities is a natural extension of our SFT clearing service and another transformational development for the lending community, creating new opportunities for participants to optimise their portfolios," said Vikesh Patel, Global Head of Clearing and President, Cboe Clear Europe. "We've seen strong demand from the SFT industry seeking greater capital efficiency and lower risk-weighted asset exposures across their equity and ETF portfolios, and they are looking to extend those benefits globally and across asset classes. It demonstrates Cboe's continued investment in expanding its global clearing business to help unlock greater capital efficiencies for market participants."
The expansion builds on the successful launch of Cboe Clear Europe's SFT clearing service in 2025, which initially covered lending European cash equities and ETFs across 19 European Central Securities Depositories. Since going live, the service has been adopted by a range of principal lenders, agent lenders - representing both UCITS and non-UCITS beneficial owners - and borrowers, with daily notional outstanding loan values of €9 billion2 and over 1,000 settlements per day3.
By moving SFTs from a bilateral to a centrally cleared model, the service can help participants improve balance sheet efficiencies while simplifying a range of post-trade operations, including settlement, reporting and client onboarding.
Jan Treuren, Head of Product, Cboe Clear Europe, said: "Participant appetite for a single, globally consistent clearing framework for securities lending continues to grow as demonstrated by increased utilization rates for lenders. By bringing the capital efficiency, operational simplicity and risk management benefits we've delivered in European equities and ETFs to new asset classes, we're taking a major step toward building the leading securities lending clearing ecosystem."
Cboe's clearing arms, Cboe Clear Europe and Cboe Clear U.S. (CCUS), complements its markets across options, futures, U.S. and European equities, FX, and U.S. Treasuries. Cboe Clear Europe provides clearing for European cash equities and SFTs, while CCUS currently clears digital asset futures listed on Cboe Futures Exchange and expects to further expand its capabilities to support clearing across both established and emerging asset classes in the future.

Sixty-two percent of patients receiving lonvo-z were attack-free and therapy-free during the observation period. Patients in the lonvo-z arm recorded a 23-point improvement from baseline in the total angioedema quality-of-life score. Leonard said a six-point change is considered clinically meaningful. All patients in the lonvo-z arm experienced attack-rate reductions from baseline during weeks five through 28, according to patient-level data cited by the company. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were infusion-related reactions, headache and fatigue. All reported events were Grade 1 or Grade 2, and no serious adverse events had been observed in the lonvo-z arm as of the data cutoff. Leonard said patients in both the original treatment arm and crossover group remained free of long-term prophylaxis therapy at the data cutoff. He also said the company believes some patients may continue to improve over time based on preclinical work and observations from its Phase I/II study.
Analysts Think These Stocks Could More Than Double in ValueIntellia has completed hiring for field medical, reimbursement and strategic accounts teams as it builds its commercial infrastructure. The company said those teams are engaging treatment centers on readiness, while separate work continues on payer outreach, distribution planning and access strategy.
During the quarter, Intellia launched the HAEreframed.com disease-awareness initiative. Leonard said the effort is intended to broaden understanding of the burdens associated with HAE, including the recurring requirements of chronic therapy and prior authorizations.
Nex-z trials resume as company adds HLA screening Intellia said it resumed enrollment and dosing in both Phase III nex-z studies during the second quarter after resolving clinical holds earlier in the year. Nex-z is being evaluated as a one-time treatment for transthyretin amyloidosis, including cardiomyopathy and polyneuropathy.
Leonard said more than 650 patients have been enrolled in the MAGNITUDE study in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, or ATTR-CM. The trial’s primary endpoint is event-based, rather than time-bound, and the company said its blinded event rate remains within its internally projected range. Intellia remains on track to complete enrollment in MAGNITUDE-2 later in 2026, though management said it was premature to provide data timing.
The company also discussed a genetic analysis involving more than 600 patient samples across nex-z clinical trials. The blinded analysis identified an HLA allele known as C0501 that was associated with a significantly higher rate of Grade 3 or greater transaminase elevations. Each of the five highest elevations after dosing occurred in patients carrying the allele, Leonard said.
About 12% of analyzed samples carried C0501, although the majority of those patients did not experience severe transaminase elevations. Intellia said the finding appears specific to nex-z and does not have implications for lonvo-z. The company has updated trial protocols, investigator brochures and informed-consent documents to incorporate HLA typing for patients in its Phase III nex-z studies.
Patients and investigators will receive HLA results during screening or before crossover, allowing them to make treatment decisions with additional information. Leonard said Intellia is discussing the findings with the FDA and does not currently expect the screening process to slow enrollment.
Management said it believes the liver-enzyme findings support its earlier hypothesis that the elevations may be related to an adaptive immune response. The company has implemented enhanced monitoring and intervention measures, which Leonard said could be used in a commercial setting if needed.
Quarterly financial results Chief Financial Officer Ed Dulac said Intellia completed an equity financing in April that generated approximately $195 million in net proceeds. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $628.4 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $605.1 million at the end of 2025.
The company said it expects its cash balance to fund operations into at least 2028. Dulac noted that this runway estimate excludes potential revenue from lonvo-z.
Second-quarter collaboration revenue was $7.7 million, compared with $14.2 million a year earlier, primarily reflecting lower revenue from Regeneron. Research and development expense declined to $82.6 million from $97 million, driven by lower external costs for lonvo-z and nex-z and reduced stock-based compensation. General and administrative expense rose to $37.8 million from $27.2 million, reflecting commercial infrastructure buildout, legal costs and stock-based compensation. Net loss was $106.6 million for the quarter, compared with a net loss of $101.3 million in the prior-year period. Intellia said it will continue evaluating information from the CARDIO-TTRansform study of eplontersen as it considers whether any changes could further optimize the MAGNITUDE trial design.

CSG za první pololetí překonala odhad tržeb i EBIT a potvrdila celoroční výhled. Objem nevyřízených objednávek činil 46 mld. EUR a obranná divize táhla růst.
Czechoslovak Group (CSG) zveřejnila za první pololetí roku 2026 výsledky, které překonaly očekávání analytiků na úrovni tržeb i provozního zisku. V samostatném druhém čtvrtletí vzrostly tržby meziročně o více než 17 % na 1,71 miliardy eur, když hlavním motorem růstu byla obranná divize Defence. Management zároveň potvrdil celoroční výhled a zdůraznil vysokou důvěru v jeho splnění díky již nasmlouvaným kontraktům.
Czechoslovak Group oznámila za první pololetí roku 2026 tržby 3,3 mld. EUR, provozní zisk EBIT 784 mil. EUR s EBIT marží 24,1 %. Celkové nevyřízené objednávky k 1. červnu činí 46 mld. EUR. Kapitálové výdaje za první pololetí 2026 narostly na 122 mil. EUR z loňských 87 mil. EUR, zároveň ale narostlo volné cash flow na 742 mil. EUR (vs 686 mil. EUR v 1H).
V samostatném druhém kvartálu dosáhla tržeb 1,71 mld. EUR (odhad Patrie 1,61 mld. EUR), meziročně o 17,2 % více, což dělá druhý po sobě jdoucí kvartál s dvojciferným růstem. Tržby táhla zejména divize Defence, kde je již 90 % ročního cíle tržeb na druhé pololetí již zahrnuto v nasmlouvaných kontraktech.
Provozní zisk EBIT ve druhém kvartálu činil 412 mil. EUR (vs 372 mil. EUR v 1Q a vs odhad Patrie 380 mil. EUR) a marže se tak udržela na 24,1 %, přičemž marže v Defence činí 28,8 % a vyvážila tak stlačenou marži v Ammo+.
CSG zároveň potvrzuje celoroční výhled – tzn. tržby 7,4- 7,6 mld. EUR, provozní EBIT marži 24 – 25 %, intenzitu capexů 8,5 % a čistou páku pod 1,3x. Rovněž cituje vysokou důvěru v jeho naplnění díky nasmlouvaným kontraktům.

Apple vykázal ve fiskálním 3. čtvrtletí výnosy 109,417 miliardy USD a EPS 2,02 USD, ale Services s 30,739 miliardy USD zaostaly za odhadem. Akcie za týden klesly o 6,3 %.
At $312.41, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL | AAPL Price Prediction) is a Hold. The stock dropped 6.3% in a week while the S&P 500 climbed, and the reason matters more than the move itself.
Apple remains the world’s most profitable consumer hardware and services franchise, with a $4.54 trillion market cap and 2.5 billion active devices. Fiscal Q3 delivered $109.417 billion in revenue, up 16.36% year over year, with EPS of $2.02. The stock filed at $340 and dropped nearly 8% within an hour.
The setup is unusual. Headline numbers were excellent, capex paid off, yet the market flinched at what lay underneath.
Why the Post-Earnings Drop Looks Like a Gift Bulls argue this is a rare entry point in a franchise that almost never goes on sale. Every geographic segment posted double-digit growth, iPhone revenue jumped to $54.252 billion from $44.58 billion, and Services expanded to $30.739 billion. Operating income grew 26.57%, well ahead of revenue.
Capital return remains enormous, with $62.094 billion in nine-month buybacks and a fresh $100 billion authorization. Prediction markets assign a 97% probability to an iPhone 18 launch this year and 85.5% odds on a foldable iPhone before 2027.
Why the Underlying Report Was Softer Than It Looked Bears have a cleaner story. Tariff refunds added roughly 2 percentage points to gross margin and $0.11 to EPS, a one-time boost that will not repeat. Services grew 12.1% year over year but missed the $31.2 billion consensus, a soft spot in Apple’s highest-margin business.
Supply chain leverage is shifting the wrong way. Reddit’s dominant post-earnings narrative pivoted to CXMT refusing Apple’s price-cut demand as Huawei and Xiaomi hand it rare leverage, and a global DRAM and NAND crunch is pushing input costs higher. R&D surged to $11.73 billion from $8.9 billion, with no visible payoff yet on Apple Intelligence.
At a trailing P/E of 35 and forward P/E near 32, the multiple assumes flawless execution.
Why Neither Side Has Closed the Case The fundamentals are too strong for a Sell and the setup too crowded for a Buy. iPhone demand is real, Services is decelerating but still growing, and buybacks provide a floor. The one-time tariff benefit and DRAM cost pressure will both become visible next quarter, when the real underlying margin picture emerges.

Watch three things over the next two quarters: Services growth reacceleration, gross margin without tariff help, and whether the foldable iPhone and Siri AI rollouts land. Until then, risk and reward look balanced.
What the Numbers Actually Say Apple trades at $312.41, against an analyst consensus target of $324.01, implying modest single-digit upside. Coverage is broad, with 46 analysts tracked and a rating split of 6 Strong Buy, 22 Buy, 14 Hold, 2 Sell, and 2 Strong Sell.
Over the past week, Apple fell 6.3% while the S&P 500 rose 3.62%. Year to date, Apple is up 15.13% versus 12.71% for the index, and one-year returns are 47.08% versus 21.46%.
Why Patience Beats Conviction at This Price At $312.41, Apple is a Hold.
The bull thesis needs Services to reaccelerate and Apple Intelligence to become a demonstrable differentiator. The bear thesis needs gross margins to compress once tariff refunds fade and memory costs bite. Both catalysts land in the same window, likely the September quarter and December holiday earnings report, and neither is knowable today.
Buying here pays a premium for a franchise whose highest-margin segment just missed and whose supplier leverage is deteriorating. Selling ignores 32 times forward earnings in fresh buyback authorization, an iPhone 18 launch the crowd puts at 97% odds, and a foldable device pipeline the market largely believes in.
Invalidation signals are specific. A clean Services beat above $100 billion next quarter or gross margins holding above 46% without tariff help would tip this toward Buy. Services below 10% growth or margins slipping into the low-44% range would tip it toward Sell. Neither has happened.
Waiting is the right call because the next earnings report will resolve the exact ambiguity that made this one so hard to trust.

Indický parlament žádá Marka Zuckerberga o omluvu do tří dnů, jinak doporučí odebrání ochrany safe harbor společnosti Meta. Bez ní by firma mohla nést odpovědnost za obsah uživatelů.
Tensions are high between Meta Platforms and Indian regulators after the company came under fire in the country twice in short succession.
The tech behemoth briefly restricted a Facebook post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing students during the Gen Z protests in July, just days after regulators summoned the company over concerns about child-abuse content. While it later said the restriction was due to an "error," initially the post reportedly indicated the content was blocked due to a "legal request."
A parliamentary panel on Wednesday demanded an apology from Mark Zuckerberg within three days for the restriction on Modi's post — failing which it recommends revoking the social media giant's safe harbor immunity in the country. This would make Meta liable for the user-generated content on its platform.
India is a key market for Meta, with the largest user bases for WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, and legal experts told CNBC that it would become almost impossible for Meta to operate in the country if the safe harbor protection is withdrawn.
They added, however, that India would need to amend the broader legal framework to remove the safe harbor rights of the platform.
Meta, though, is keen to assuage concerns of the regulators, especially those around Modi's post.
Joel Kaplan, Meta's chief global affairs officer, who was in a meeting with India's Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday, said he "apologized" to the minister "for the error restricting PM Modi's post," the company said in a press statement.
But local media reports the same day, quoting government sources, said that it was Meta's founder and CEO Zuckerberg who made the apology for the presence of child abuse content, deepfake material and errors in operating the platform.
Meta did not comment on the authenticity of these claims in the official statement shared with CNBC.
Apology demandsIn an interview with ANI on Wednesday, Nishikant Dubey, the chair of a parliamentary panel on communications and information technology, wrote to India's information technology and home ministry, demanding an apology from Zuckerberg himself.
"Zuckerberg must apologize within three days" for deleting Modi's video addressing students, Dubey said, saying the platform was misusing the privilege of safe harbor protection -- adding that if it is revoked "there could be a nationwide flood" of formal police complaints against Meta, he added.
During the Gen Z protests in India last month, Instagram, Meta's short video app, became a popular platform for public discourse in the country. Modi started to make reels to appeal to the young protesters.
But this growing influence is also exposing the U.S. company to intense government scrutiny over lapses in content moderation and concerns over user privacy. The Indian government last month issued a stern warning to Instagram to remove child abuse ads on its platform that followed a warning to WhatsApp over the rollout of a username feature.
Meta's global team will remain in India to conduct "three to four" additional meetings with the ministry that will assess whether the social media company is complying with Indian laws, Indian news agency ANI reported on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Saurav Das, spokesperson of the Cockroach Janta Party which steered the Gen Z protest in India, said that Meta was restricting access to his content and claimed it was succumbing to "high-handed pressure from the government."
India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology didn't respond to CNBC's calls and emails seeking comment on the proposal to withdraw Meta's safe harbor immunity.
Loss of safe harborSafe harbor protection grants conditional immunity to social media companies, explained Udit Mendiratta, technology and disputes partner at Argus Partners.
He added that this immunity can be removed if a social media platform has abetted an unlawful action, if it has failed to remove content "expeditiously" after a court or government order, and if it fails "due diligence obligations" in removing child sexual abuse material, deepfakes and hate speech.
However, he said that under the existing Indian law, "loss of immunity is content specific," and the law would need to be amended to remove the safe harbor immunity of an entire platform.
While the Indian government is yet to take any official action, experts said any decision affecting safe harbor would be monitored by the technology industry because it will alter the liability framework.
"Safe harbor protection is the cornerstone of digital regulation dating back to the earliest days of the internet," Vikram Jeet Singh, partner at law firm BTG Advaya, told CNBC, adding that the loss of this immunity might expose social media companies to further civil and regulatory actions.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT | MSFT Price Prediction) at $499.86 sits at a pivotal level, and the fiscal 2026 earnings report is the reason. After a violent round trip that took shares from the low $500s down to the high $380s and back, the stock is once again testing the level bulls need to defend to keep the AI monetization narrative intact.
Microsoft is the second-largest company in the world by market cap, with a business anchored on Azure, Microsoft 365, and a widening AI stack built around Copilot and its restructured OpenAI relationship. Fiscal Q4 delivered $90.007 billion in revenue, up 17.75% year over year, and non-GAAP EPS of $4.74, the fifth consecutive quarter Microsoft has beaten Wall Street estimates.
The stock rebounded 28.55% over the past month, forcing every investor to make a call at $500. Azure crossed $100 billion in full-year revenue for the first time, growing 43% in Q4. Commercial Remaining Performance Obligations reached $678 billion, up 84% year over year, giving Microsoft one of the largest contracted revenue backlogs in enterprise software history. AI services contributed more than 11 percentage points to Azure growth, evidence that capex is converting into revenue.
Why the Earnings Report Justifies Paying Up Copilot passed 30 million paid seats against a 400 million Office 365 addressable base. At a forward P/E near 25, bulls argue you are paying a modest multiple for a business compounding revenue at 17.7% with a 45.1% operating margin.
Why the Capex Bill Could Break the Story Full-year capex hit $115.948 billion, up 79.62%, and free cash flow fell 6.46% for the year and 23.19% in Q4. Cash and equivalents dropped 30.78% year over year. Bears see two active securities class actions alleging misleading Copilot disclosures, and prediction markets assign only a 48% probability that MSFT finishes the week above $500.
Why Patience Has an Argument The stock is down 4.01% over the past year while the S&P 500 rose 21.46%. That relative weakness reflects real investor unease over capex intensity and Copilot monetization timing. Waiting one quarter to see whether free cash flow re-accelerates costs little if the thesis is durable.
Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Microsoft didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
The Numbers Behind the Verdict Microsoft currently trades at $499.86 with a market cap near $3.62 trillion and a trailing P/E of 27. The consensus analyst price target sits at $562.73, implying meaningful upside from here, though targets are one input rather than a promise.
Coverage runs 57 analysts deep: 14 Strong Buy, 40 Buy, 3 Hold, and zero Sell ratings. Year to date, MSFT is up 3.82%, materially lagging the S&P 500’s 12.71% gain. That underperformance is the setup bulls are pricing.
Why $500 Is the Key Level At $500, Microsoft’s bull framework rests on three catalysts. First, RPO of $678 billion converts into recognized revenue over the next several quarters, giving the top line rare visibility at this scale. Second, Copilot’s 30 million seats represent early penetration, and usage-based enterprise pricing should expand gross margins as adoption deepens.
Third, the capex cycle peaks. Free cash flow compression is the bear’s best card, but the $250 billion incremental OpenAI Azure commitment and a $37 billion AI run rate up 123% suggest monetization is running ahead of depreciation. A single quarter of free cash flow re-acceleration re-rates the multiple.
The thesis breaks if Azure growth decelerates below the mid-30s or Copilot seat growth stalls. Absent that, paying 25x forward earnings for the AI infrastructure winner with a fortress balance sheet is what the bull case looks like at $500.

IBM se po propadu odrazil o 10,6 % z minima po výsledcích, ale zůstává pod tlakem kvůli vyšetřování údajného podvodu souvisejícího s pipeline disclosures a slabšímu růstu.
At $233.43, IBM (NYSE:IBM | IBM Price Prediction) sits in an unresolved setup. The stock has rebounded 10.6% from its post-earnings low of $211.15, but the setup remains too contested to justify conviction in either direction.
IBM is repositioned around hybrid cloud, AI orchestration through watsonx, and Red Hat software targeting double-digit growth. The July collapse from a 52-week high of $332.46 followed a rare EPS miss and a securities fraud inquiry into pipeline disclosures, breaking a five-quarter beat streak.
The rebound has been sharp, but investors are paying up for a business whose growth engine and legal overhang pull in opposite directions.
The Bull Case: A Recurring-Revenue Compounder on Sale IBM trades at forward P/E of 19 against a trailing 21, cheap for a business generating 34.5% return on equity and $4.8 billion of first-half free cash flow.
Software, now 45% of revenue, is 80% recurring with Annual Recurring Revenue of $24.6 billion, up 8% year-over-year. Red Hat accelerated to 11% growth, Data grew 19%, and the GenAI book surpassed $12.5 billion inception-to-date. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to 4% to 5% constant currency despite the miss.
A 2.86% dividend yield backed by 31 consecutive years of increases and a 0.705 beta offer rare income defensiveness in a momentum-driven market.
The Bear Case: Execution Cracks and a Legal Cloud Bears see a business that missed expectations at $2.93 versus $2.97 on revenue growth of just 1.09%. Infrastructure fell 7.4% with IBM Z mainframe revenue down 42%, and Consulting was flat at 0.2% growth. Operating income dropped 19.67% year-over-year.
The securities fraud inquiry into pipeline disclosures directly scrutinizes the credibility of forward commentary bulls rely on. It surfaced alongside a miss management attributed to “tens of large deals” slipping. Reddit narratives framed the collapse as “AI infra capex eating into IT spending”, a structural concern rather than timing. An SVP sold 4,035 shares at $286.725 in early July, and IBM has underperformed the S&P 500 by more than 30 percentage points year-to-date.

The Hold Case: Too Many Unresolved Variables Bulls claim one-third of slipped deals closed within three weeks of quarter-end, suggesting deferral over demand destruction. Bears note that crowd sentiment and the fraud inquiry remain unresolved after one rebound week.
Catalysts that would break the tie are known: the Q3 report, an inquiry update, and evidence that software growth trends toward the high end of the revised 6% to 8% range. Paying up for a rebound already 10.6% off lows asks investors to underwrite a resolution they cannot yet see.
The Data Behind the Verdict IBM trades at $233.43 against an analyst consensus target of $244.16, implying modest single-digit upside. Coverage spans 23 analysts:
Strong Buy: 3 Buy: 12 Hold: 7 Strong Sell: 1 Year-to-date, IBM is down 20.16% while the S&P 500 is up 12.71%, a striking gap for a stock trading at a forward P/E of 19 with an EV/EBITDA of 16. Consensus has yet to fully absorb the fraud inquiry.
The Verdict: Waiting Is the Right Call At $233, IBM sits in wait-and-see territory.
The bull thesis rests on software durability and free cash flow expected to grow ~$1 billion year-over-year. The bear thesis rests on execution risk and an active fraud inquiry. Neither is likely to resolve before the Q3 report.
A Buy trigger looks like software growth tracking toward 10% in the back half, mainframe revenue normalizing above 120%, and closure of the fraud inquiry without material findings. A Sell trigger looks like additional deal slippage in Q3, downward guidance revision, or inquiry expansion.
Patience carries a modest cost: a 2.86% dividend yield and low-single-digit implied upside against a still-unresolved legal overhang. With a legal overhang unresolved and a rebound already partially priced in, waiting for the next earnings report is disciplined.

Our employees remained focused on disciplined execution and cost management which, along with favorable items that we do not expect to repeat in future quarters, contributed to improved adjusted earnings.
"Bedding industry conditions remain challenged both by sluggish consumer activity and continued consolidations and bankruptcies across the value chain. We estimate that U.S. mattress market units declined by low double digits in the second quarter, similar to the declines we saw in the first quarter. In our Bedding Products segment, continued strong performance of our trade rod and wire business partially offset the decline from lower mattress demand.
"Across our other segments, demand remained soft in markets tied to housing and broader consumer spending as consumers were faced with additional uncertainty resulting from the war in the Middle East and higher gas prices. In Specialized Products, Automotive performed slightly below the market, which saw lower consumer demand across all regions. In Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products, growth in Textiles offset lower demand in the remaining businesses, which are more directly exposed to U.S. residential spending, leading to a slight improvement in trade sales.
"As we look forward, we remain focused on executing our strategic priorities while expecting ongoing macroeconomic headwinds to temper consumer demand across most of our businesses for the remainder of the year.
"Finally, we continue to progress towards the planned merger with Somnigroup. As previously announced, the waiting period under the HSR Antitrust Improvements Act expired in June. We anticipate the transaction to close upon satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, including Leggett & Platt shareholder approval at the special meeting planned for August 20th and the remaining required regulatory approvals. As previously stated, we believe this combination with a valued long–standing customer will create a leading global company - providing compelling strategic and financial value for our customers, employees, and the Leggett & Platt shareholders."

DEBT AND CASH FLOW
Net Debt1 was 2.6x trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA1 Total Debt at June 30 was $1.5 billion in three tranches of long-term bonds at $500 million each Operating cash flow was $46 million in the second quarter, a decrease of $38 million versus second quarter 2025, reflecting an expected larger investment in working capital and lower earnings Capital expenditures were $21 million Dividends were $7 million In May, Leggett & Platt's Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $.05 per share, flat versus last year's second quarter dividend In July, Leggett & Platt's Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $.05 per share, flat versus last year's third quarter dividend. The dividend will be paid on August 24, 2026. SEGMENT RESULTS – Second Quarter 2026 (versus 2Q 2025)
Bedding Products –
Trade sales decreased 1% Volume decreased 7%, primarily due to retailer merchandising changes and lower volume with a certain customer in Adjustable Bed, demand softness in U.S. and European bedding markets, and the decision during the fourth quarter of 2025 to walk away from a financially challenged customer in U.S. Spring. These declines were partially offset by higher trade rod and wire sales. Raw material-related selling price increases and currency benefit added 6% to sales EBIT increased $15 million and adjusted1 EBIT increased $24 million Adjusted1 EBIT increased primarily from metal margin expansion, favorable sales mix, temporary price-cost timing benefit in Specialty Foam, and restructuring benefit. These increases were partially offset by lower volume. We believe U.S. mattress market units were down low double digits in the second quarter Specialized Products –
Trade sales decreased 19% 2025 divestiture of Aerospace reduced sales 16% Volume decreased 4% from softer market demand Currency benefit increased sales 1% EBIT decreased $20 million and adjusted1 EBIT decreased $15 million Adjusted1 EBIT decreased primarily from earnings associated with the divested Aerospace business, currency impact, and lower volume Automotive volume was slightly below major market production in the quarter, driven by underperformance in Asia partially offset by outperformance in Europe and North America Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products –
Trade sales increased 1% Volume was flat with growth in Textiles offset by declines in Home Furniture, Work Furniture, and Flooring Raw material-related selling price increases added 1% to sales 2025 divestiture of a small facility in Work Furniture reduced sales <1% EBIT and adjusted1 EBIT increased $5 million Adjusted1 EBIT benefited from refunds of IEEPA tariffs that were paid during the eleven-month period they were in force. During that period, competitive pressures led to margin compression as cost increases, including tariffs, were not fully recovered through increased selling prices. 2026 GUIDANCE AND CONFERENCE CALL
On April 13, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to be acquired by Somnigroup International Inc. (NYSE: SGI). The transaction is anticipated to close upon satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, including Leggett & Platt shareholder approval at the August 20, 2026 meeting and remaining required regulatory approvals. As is customary while a transaction is pending, Leggett & Platt's 2026 guidance issued in February was withdrawn last quarter and should no longer be relied upon. Additionally, Leggett & Platt will not host a conference call. For further details on quarterly performance, please refer to Leggett & Platt's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which is expected to be filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Such statements are expressly qualified by cautionary statements described in this provision and reflect only the beliefs, expectations, and assumptions of Leggett at the time the statement is made. Because all forward-looking statements deal with the future, they are subject to risks, uncertainties and developments which might cause actual events or results to differ materially from those envisioned or reflected in any forward-looking statement. Moreover, we do not have, and do not undertake, any duty to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement was made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

3 Rebound Candidates With Technical TailwindsLyft NASDAQ: LYFT reported record second-quarter operating performance, with more than 30 million active riders and 262 million rides, as the company pointed to growth across North American rideshare, bikes, Canada and its European Freenow business.
Chief Executive Officer David Risher said the company is on track to exceed 1 billion rides in 2026. He attributed the quarter’s momentum to Lyft’s strategy of customer focus, operational execution and partnerships, while noting that premium modes posted double-digit year-over-year growth for the 12th consecutive quarter.

3 Major Buybacks Just Dropped—Here’s the Signal Investors SeeChief Financial Officer Erin Brewer said gross bookings rose 23% year over year to $5.5 billion, while adjusted EBITDA increased 37%. Lyft also recorded its fourth consecutive quarter with more than $1 billion in trailing-12-month free cash flow.
Growth broad-based across markets and products Brewer said rider growth was not driven by a single factor. She cited continued strength in North American rideshare, expansion in lower-scale markets, growth in Canada and strong performance in Lyft’s bike operations. The company said several operated bike markets reached daily and weekly records, supported by the adoption of e-bikes for commuting.
Instacart’s Pricing Tests Spark Backlash... But Investors Didn't CareRisher said Canada’s business was growing at nearly double the prior-year rate, while Europe was posting organic ride growth roughly a year after Lyft acquired Freenow. He said product and technology changes have begun to produce results in Europe, though the company remains in the early stages of its plans for the business.
Lyft also highlighted service-level improvements. Risher said average pickup times improved year over year, varying by geography, and that Lyft now picks up riders as fast as or faster than its main competitor 75% of the time, despite having lower market share.
Products including Lyft Teen and Lyft Silver continued to perform well, according to Risher. He added that seasonal activity and World Cup-related demand were beneficial but were not the core drivers of the company’s growth.
Partnerships account for a growing share of rides Approximately 30% of North American rideshare trips were linked to a partner during the quarter, an all-time high for Lyft. Risher said those partnerships include DoorDash, United Airlines, Bilt, Chase Sapphire, Chase Southwest and Alaska Airlines.
Lyft expanded its DoorDash relationship into Canada, while Risher said United Airlines’ partnership has had a strong start. He also said Bilt members have spent 1.5 billion Bilt points on Lyft rides. The company views partner-linked rides as an important source of higher-value trips and future margin expansion.
Risher said Lyft’s priority is to deepen existing partnerships, arguing that the company has substantial room to expand current relationships. “Each one of the partnerships we have, we think we’re sort of in early days,” he said.
Margins, mix and pricing Brewer said Lyft expects adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the third quarter and described continued cost discipline, operational leverage, growth in higher-value modes and partner-linked rides as key contributors.
She said lower-scale markets and Canada have continued to grow faster than average, while business-to-business offerings represent another early-stage opportunity. Lyft is also targeting rider incentives to encourage loyalty, product adoption and marketplace balance, she said.
On pricing, Brewer characterized the 2026 environment as relatively stable. She noted that gross bookings per ride can be affected by mix, including growth in higher-value modes, advertising and chauffeuring businesses. Lyft’s third-quarter ride and gross-booking mix will also be influenced by seasonality in bikes, which carry lower gross bookings per ride but strong unit economics, as well as Freenow’s typically lower ride activity during Europe’s August holiday period.
Brewer said Lyft offers options across price points, including bikes, Wait & Save and premium ride modes. She said the company has not seen meaningful changes in customer engagement with Wait & Save.
Autonomous vehicle initiatives remain in early stages Lyft said its autonomous vehicle roadmap is progressing in Nashville and London. Risher said Lyft took over operations of Waymo’s temporary Nashville depot on June 9 and has exceeded service-level agreements with its partner. A purpose-built Nashville depot, formerly a U.S. Postal Service facility, is expected to open around October and will be able to handle hundreds of vehicles.
Lyft remains on track to make Waymo rides available through the Lyft app in Nashville before year-end, Risher said. The company expects the deployment to include dynamic supply sharing rather than dedicated vehicle pools for each company.
In London, Lyft is testing Baidu RT6 autonomous vehicles. Brewer said the current fleet is small and its financial effect is “de minimis,” a condition she expects to continue in the near term. Risher said Lyft likes the long-term unit economics of autonomous vehicles but did not provide further details on deployment scale or near-term economics.
Risher also said Lyft has seen 20% ride growth in San Francisco, where autonomous vehicles are operating, across commuting and leisure use cases. He said the company believes AVs can expand the rideshare market rather than simply replace driver-operated trips.
Lyft expects to continue integrating Freenow into its global platform. Beta testing for a unified Lyft app is live in more than a dozen European cities, and Risher said travelers are expected to be able to book rides natively through the Lyft app by 2027. In the meantime, the company is beginning a gradual “Freenow by Lyft” branding effort in markets including Barcelona, Dublin and Athens.

PubMatic oznámila, že CFO Steve Pantelick odchází do důchodu po 15 letech v této funkci. Zůstane CFO do 1. čtvrtletí 2027 a poté bude do 1. července 2027 působit jako senior poradce.
Pantelick to serve as CFO into the first quarter of 2027, then as senior adviser through July 1, 2027; search for his successor underway
NO-HEADQUARTERS/REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PubMatic, Inc. (Nasdaq: PUBM), the leading AI-powered ad tech company delivering digital advertising performance, today announced that Steve Pantelick, Chief Financial Officer, intends to retire after fifteen years in the role. Pantelick will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer into the first quarter of 2027, and then as a senior adviser through July 1, 2027, to support continuity and a smooth transition. The Company has initiated a search for his successor.
Since joining PubMatic in 2011, Pantelick has played a central role in the company's growth from a privately held business into a global public company, leading its finance and legal organizations including accounting, tax, treasury, SEC reporting and investor relations. Since its 2020 initial public offering, revenue has nearly doubled, and the company has generated approximately $450 million in net cash provided by operating activities, returned nearly half of it to shareholders through the repurchase of more than $211 million of its shares, and maintained a debt-free balance sheet.
Under Pantelick's leadership, PubMatic has been profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis for 41 consecutive quarters, a streak that began in 2016, more than four years before the IPO. He also helped shape the company's disciplined operating model, driving productivity gains that funded strategic reinvestment. The organization he built has the leadership depth, operating rigor and institutional knowledge to support the company's continued success.
"Steve has been my partner in building PubMatic for fifteen years," said Rajeev Goel, Co-Founder and CEO. "I’ve relied on his judgment through every major decision, and the trust he has earned, inside PubMatic and with our investors, is one of the company’s great assets. He has built a strong leadership team that is well prepared for the growth opportunities ahead. I am deeply grateful for his partnership, his leadership and his friendship."
"Today, I believe PubMatic is in the strongest position I have seen in my fifteen years here, which is what makes this the right time to begin planning my retirement,” said Steve Pantelick, Chief Financial Officer. “I joined PubMatic when it was a small private company, and together with Rajeev and this exceptional team, we have built something I am incredibly proud of: a global public company with a strong financial model, substantial operating flexibility and a culture of disciplined execution. My priority is continuing the momentum we reported today."
The announcement coincides with PubMatic's second quarter 2026 financial results, issued separately today, which included the company's return to double-digit year-over-year revenue growth ahead of schedule and expanded profitability. Additional details regarding the transition will be included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cloudflare spustila AEO Visibility Dashboard, který značkám ukazuje, zda je AI asistenti citují, zmiňují a doporučují. Nástroj je nyní v raném přístupu.
New AEO Visibility Dashboard gives brand marketers a clear view of how AI assistants are citing, mentioning, and ranking them
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today released the AEO Visibility Dashboard, the newest addition to its Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Suite. The tool gives website owners a direct view into whether AI assistants are recommending their business when customers ask relevant questions – something that, until now, has been invisible to most site owners. The AEO Visibility Dashboard joins Agent Readiness, the existing tool in the suite that checks whether AI agents can find and read a site in the first place. Together, this gives marketers the data they need to understand and optimize their content.
AI assistants have become a primary discovery channel for consumers, but brands have had no equivalent of a search ranking to show where they stand. When a customer asks an AI for a recommendation and gets a name back, there has been no signal to tell a brand whether it was recommended, briefly mentioned, or skipped entirely. Most tools attempt to fill that gap by only sending test prompts to AI chatbots and sampling the responses — a method limited in scale and prone to inconsistency if not paired with other data signals. Cloudflare's position is different: because it operates at the network layer between AI platforms and the websites they access, observing actual crawl and referral activity directly, across millions of sites. The data creates deeper, more transparent insights than sampling test prompts alone so brands can make more informed decisions.
"Being discoverable used to mean ranking on a page. That's not enough anymore. The agentic era is here, and the moments that matter, like when someone asks an AI for a recommendation and gets an answer back, are happening at scale, invisibly, without most brands knowing if they're in the conversation at all,” said Stephanie Cohen, Chief Strategy Officer at Cloudflare. “Cloudflare sits at the network layer. We see actual signals: real crawl activity, real referrals, what AI systems are genuinely doing across millions of sites. That's what powers these tools. Brands can finally get a real answer to the question they've been asking: how am I showing up, and where?"
Cloudflare built its AEO Suite on a foundational commitment: that site owners should have visibility into how their content is being used, and control over what they choose to share. That means grounding AEO analysis in actual network-layer signals like real crawl activity and real referral data from Cloudflare's own infrastructure. Whether a content owner's goal is to protect and monetize their content, or to maximize discovery in the agentic era, the AEO Suite is designed to serve those interests on their terms. Now, any brand can get the quality data they need in order to:
Stop guessing where to invest content: Citation Rate shows which AI platforms are pulling from a brand's site as a trusted source and which ones are ignoring it. Marketers can direct budget toward testing and optimizing the content and sites that actually drive AI recommendations, not the ones that don't. Diagnose the right problem before spending on the wrong fix: Mention Rate reveals whether AI assistants are naming a brand even when they don't cite its site. A brand that gets mentioned but not cited has an authority problem, not an awareness problem. That distinction changes the strategy entirely. Measure the quality of AI coverage, not just presence: Prominence tracks how much of an AI answer is actually attributed to a brand, and where in the response it appears. A passing mention at the end of a long answer is not the same as a strong, specific recommendation. Marketers get a number that reflects the difference. Track competitive position on the questions that matter: Share of Voice shows how a brand stacks up against competitors across the specific questions its customers are asking AI assistants and whether that position is improving or eroding over time. The AEO Visibility Dashboard Tool joins Agent Readiness, the existing tool in the AEO Suite that checks whether AI systems can find and read a brand's site in the first place. Agent Readiness checks whether an AI agent can actually reach and use a site -- whether it has permission to crawl, a sitemap to navigate, content it can read in a structured format, and, for more advanced use cases, interfaces it can call directly. The AEO Visibility Dashboard then measures what happens downstream: given that agents can reach the site, are they recommending it?
The AEO Visibility Dashboard is available in early access today. Businesses can request access from the Overview tab in the Cloudflare dashboard. Agent Readiness is available in the same location. To learn more, check out the blog below:

Nano Dimension ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby o 12,1 % na 29,0 milionu USD a zúžila čistou ztrátu z pokračujících činností na 6,8 milionu USD. Firma zároveň očekává, že prodej MarkForged sníží roční cash burn asi o 15 milionů USD.
Ongoing Strategic Actions Expected to Reduce Annualized Cash Burn by Approximately $25 Million
Announced Agreement to Sell MarkForged, Inc. to Stratasys; Transaction Expected to Close in the Second Half of 2026
Completed Sale of AME and Fabrica Product Lines
WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM) (“Nano Dimension”, “Nano”, or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights:
Revenue: $29.0 million, a 12.1% increase from $25.8 million year-over-yearGross Margin (“GM”): 45.9%, up from 27.3% year-over-yearAdjusted Gross Margin (“Adjusted GM”): 48.8%, up from 44.7% year-over-yearNet Loss from Continuing Operations: $6.8 million, an improvement compared to a loss of $11.4 million year-over-yearAdjusted EBITDA Loss from Continuing Operations: $9.6 million, an improvement compared to a loss of $16.7 million year-over-yearTotal cash, cash equivalents, deposits, restricted deposits and marketable equity securities: $433.3 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $441.6 million as of March 31, 2026 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. More information, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found below in this press release under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of US GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Details:
Revenue increased 12.1% year-over-year to $29.0 million, driven primarily by continued strength in the Company's Essemtec product line. Markforged contributed $14.1 million of revenue during the quarter, a decrease of $2.0 million compared to the prior-year period. Excluding Markforged, revenue increased $5.2 million, or 53.1%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting growth in the Essemtec product line, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in revenue due to the sale of the AME product line.
GAAP gross profit increased 88.8% year-over-year to $13.3 million, while gross margin improved to 45.9%, compared to 27.3% in the prior-year period. The improvement was primarily driven by the non-recurrence of non-cash charges recognized in the second quarter of 2025, higher sales volumes, a more favorable product mix, and the continued execution of margin improvement initiatives across the Company. The Company's continued focus on margin improvement is also reflected in non-GAAP gross profit, which increased 22.3% year-over-year to $14.1 million, while Adjusted gross margin improved to 48.8%, compared to 44.7% in the prior-year period.
The Essemtec product line delivered a record quarterly performance, driven by continued demand across electronics manufacturing, AI-related manufacturing applications, and aerospace and defense applications, including continued expansion with space and satellite customers.
Markforged experienced softer sales during the second quarter. However, customer engagement and underlying demand trends remain strong. Approximately $3.0 million of orders received were not reflected in second quarter revenue due to production timing and are expected to be fulfilled in the third quarter. During the second quarter, the Company secured a significant order from a major aerospace manufacturer and continued to see momentum across aerospace and defense applications in multiple regions, as well as in other advanced manufacturing environments. At the same time, Markforged continued to benefit from cost reduction initiatives, which contributed to improved margins.
GAAP operating expenses declined 30.4% year-over-year reflecting lower one-time items and continued execution of cost reduction initiatives during the quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses declined 16.0% year-over-year and 27.2% relative to the previously identified baseline of approximately $32.5 million. This baseline represents second quarter 2025 non-GAAP operating expenses adjusted to include a full quarter of Markforged. These cost reduction initiatives, together with improved operating performance, contributed to a 40.1% improvement in net loss from continuing operations and a 42.5% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA loss compared to the prior-year period.
Management Commentary:
“Our second quarter results demonstrate continued progress in improving operating performance through disciplined execution and cost reduction initiatives,” said John Brenton, Chief Financial Officer. “We delivered strong margin performance, reduced operating expenses, and significantly improved Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior-year period. We remain focused on maintaining financial discipline, improving operational efficiency and preserving financial flexibility.”
Moshe Rozenbaum, Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Since assuming the role of Interim CEO in July, I have been working closely with the Board and leadership team to evaluate the Company's operations, capital allocation priorities, and strategic direction. Our priorities are clear and disciplined. We are committed to maximizing shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence, rigorous execution and financial strength. Over the coming quarters, our focus is on four key priorities: reducing our cost structure, monetizing non-core assets, driving the business toward positive cash flow, and returning excess capital to shareholders when appropriate and consistent with our capital allocation framework. We recognize that shareholders expect accountability and tangible results, and we are committed to transparent communication as we advance these priorities.”
Corporate Updates and Business Highlights:
Leadership Update: Effective July 21, 2026, Moshe Rozenbaum was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer.
Governance Update: On July 17, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Murchinson Ltd. and its affiliated entities, resulting in a refreshed Board of Directors (the “Board”) through the appointment of three new directors and the departure of four directors. The Board has appointed Phillip Borenstein as Chairman of the Board.
Corporate Headquarters Lease Termination: On July 15, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to terminate the lease for its current corporate headquarters, effective December 31, 2026, substantially reducing the Company’s future lease obligations. The Company expects to eliminate approximately $38 million of cumulative future lease costs through 2031. After accounting for the approximately $13 million lease termination payment, the Company expects to realize approximately $25 million of cumulative net cash savings.
Sale of MarkForged, Inc: On May 27, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell MarkForged, Inc. to Stratasys Ltd. in an all-cash transaction valued at $42.5 million. The transaction is expected to enhance financial flexibility and reduce annualized cash burn by approximately $15 million. This estimate includes approximately $7.5 million of annualized lease-related
cost savings associated with the corporate headquarters lease. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026 and remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The Company will provide updates as appropriate.
Sale of AME and Fabrica Product Lines: On April 6, 2026, the Company announced the sale of its additively manufactured electronics (AME) product line and its previously discontinued Fabrica product line to Inspira Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. for total consideration of up to $12.5 million, including a $2.0 million upfront cash payment and up to $10.5 million in performance-based deferred payments over the next twelve months. The transaction is expected to reduce annualized cash burn by approximately $10 million.
2026 Financial Guidance Update
As previously announced in May 2026, given the Company’s ongoing actions under its strategic plan and the potential for additional changes across the business, the Company has suspended its full year 2026 financial guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA should be useful in evaluating the performance of our business and operations. EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively) and EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to the items mentioned above.
Adjusted EBITDA and operating expenses are non-GAAP measures and are defined as earnings before interest income and expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, exchange rate differences, finance expenses (income) for revaluation of assets and liabilities, Desktop Metal litigation related expenses, Desktop Metal and Markforged transaction related expenses, restructuring costs, impact of deconsolidation, impairment losses, litigation settlements and step-up amortization from purchase accounting. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and operating expenses, as described above, should also be useful in evaluating the performance of our business. Like EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting other financial expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively), as well as from share-based payments, restructuring costs, impairment losses, and step-up amortization from purchase accounting. Adjusted EBITDA and operating expenses are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to non-cash items, such as expenses related to share-based payments.
Adjusted gross profit, excluding depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, and step-up amortization from purchase accounting, is a non-GAAP measure. We believe that adjusted gross profit, as described above, should also be useful in evaluating the performance of our business. Adjusted gross profit facilitates gross profit and gross margin comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in amortization of inventory and intangible assets. Adjusted gross profit is useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because it enables investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s performance without regard to non-cash items, such as amortization expenses. Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing the adjusted gross profit by the revenues.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and non-GAAP operating expenses can be useful in evaluating our performance by eliminating the effect of financing and non-cash expenses such as share-based payments, however, we may incur such expenses in the future, which could impact future results. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP metrics differently or not at all, which may reduce the usefulness of this measure as a tool for comparison.
Nano Dimension does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain significant items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the relevant period.

IRHYTHM HLDGS, which belongs to the Zacks Medical Info Systems industry, posted revenues of $224.17 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.18%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $186.69 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
IRHYTHM HLDGS shares have lost about 29.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%.
What's Next for IRHYTHM HLDGS?While IRHYTHM HLDGS has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for IRHYTHM HLDGS was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.03 on $220.97 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.13 on $881.52 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical Info Systems is currently in the top 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

8x8 spustila nový čtyřúrovňový partnerský program pro přímé resellery, který odměňuje růst i udržení zákazníků. Partneři získají úrovňové slevy a vyhrazenou podporu týmů 8x8.
New Four-Tier Structure Aligns 8x8’s Partner and Company Success; Direct Resellers Earn Tier-Based Rebates and Dedicated Account Support
CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading global business communications platform provider, has introduced a new partner program for its direct resell channel that rewards customer retention and expansion, in addition to new business activity.
The shift reflects a fundamental change in how 8x8 measures partner success, looking at new business growth as well as retention and opportunities with existing customers. Under the new four-tier structure - Authorized, Silver, Gold, and Platinum - direct resellers can earn financial rewards according to their tier level and gain full access to the 8x8 supporting teams. Monthly performance dashboards provide real-time visibility into progress against these metrics.
With the new program, 8x8 ensures support for partners through the full customer journey - landing new business, expanding through multi-product adoption, and retaining their existing customer base.
8x8 has appointed Maryam House to the newly created role of global director of strategic programs. She has spent the past year as 8x8’s senior partner success manager, working directly with resellers. House’s promotion reflects the company’s decision to elevate the partner feedback she has been collecting into executive leadership, and she will work alongside channel leadership to drive results with partners.
“Most partner programs reward activity - but this one rewards outcomes,” said Emily Masterton, Global Head of Channel at 8x8, Inc. “As our business - and the wider industry - have evolved, it's clear that deep customer relationships drive true value, alongside winning new business. This program reflects that shift, with real investment behind it: dedicated channel account managers, outcome-based enablement, co-marketing support, proactive feedback loops through our Centre of Excellence.”
Partners respond
8x8 tested the new program with select partners around the globe. The response has been strong, particularly around the focus on longer-term relationship building and the opportunities it opens up.
“You want partners that understand exactly what you need to deliver for success,” said Michael O'Donnell, Chief Commercial Officer at Opus Technology. “This new 8x8 program delivers on that front because it’s looking at the big picture and going beyond just bringing in more business. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve.”
"Long-term customer relationships are what our business is built on, and the new partner program exemplifies that,” said Rick Dell, CEO of Vertical Communications in the US. “8x8 designed the new partner program around retention and strategic growth, not just new logos alone, which is exactly how we operate. As their only Platinum partner in North America, we've already seen what our partnership with 8x8 can deliver. This program gives us the structure to do a lot more of it."
"The new 8x8 partner program addresses something we've been waiting for: a structure built around our success, not just 8x8's,” said Brend Johnston, Managing Director, Arrow Voice & Data. “It rewards retention and depth of partnership, not just new business, which reflects how we actually run our business at Arrow Voice & Data."
Partners and companies interested in the new partner program should contact their 8x8 representative or contact the team through https://www.8x8.com/your-customers-win for more information.
