Have you evaluated the performance of Agilent Technologies' (A - Free Report) international operations during the quarter that concluded in April 2026? Considering the extensive worldwide presence of this scientific instrument maker, analyzing the patterns in international revenues is crucial for understanding its financial resilience and potential for growth.

In the modern, closely-knit global economic landscape, the capacity of a business to access foreign markets is often a key determinant of its financial well-being and growth path. Investors now place great importance on grasping the extent of a company's dependence on international markets, as it sheds light on the firm's earnings stability, its skill in leveraging various economic cycles and its broad growth potential.

Being present in foreign markets serves as protection against local economic declines and helps benefit from more rapidly expanding economies. Yet, such expansion also introduces challenges related to currency fluctuations, geopolitical uncertainties and varied market behaviors.

While analyzing A's performance for the last quarter, we found some intriguing trends in revenues from its overseas segments that Wall Street analysts commonly model and monitor.

For the quarter, the company's total revenue amounted to $1.84 billion, experiencing an increase of 10% year over year. Next, we'll explore the breakdown of A's international revenue to understand the importance of its overseas business operations.

A Closer Look at A's Revenue Streams AbroadEurope accounted for 28.2% of the company's total revenue during the quarter, translating to $518 million. Revenues from this region represented a surprise of +8.58%, with Wall Street analysts collectively expecting $477.06 million. When compared to the preceding quarter and the same quarter in the previous year, Europe contributed $518 million (28.8%) and $442 million (26.5%) to the total revenue, respectively.

During the quarter, Asia Pacific contributed $553 million in revenue, making up 30.1% of the total revenue. When compared to the consensus estimate of $592.93 million, this meant a surprise of -6.73%. Looking back, Asia Pacific contributed $602 million, or 33.5%, in the previous quarter, and $548 million, or 32.9%, in the same quarter of the previous year.

Revenue Forecasts for the International MarketsFor the current fiscal quarter, it is anticipated by Wall Street analysts that Agilent will post revenues of $1.83 billion, which reflects an increase of 5.6% the same quarter in the previous year. The revenue contributions are expected to be 28.4% from Europe ($520.88 million), and 32.4% from Asia Pacific ($594.04 million).

For the full year, a total revenue of $7.39 billion is expected for the company, reflecting an increase of 6.4% from the year before. The revenues from Europe and Asia Pacific are expected to make up 27.7%, and 32.7% of this total, corresponding to $2.05 billion, and $2.42 billion, respectively.

Key TakeawaysThe dependency of Agilent on global markets for its revenues presents a mix of potential gains and hazards. Thus, monitoring the trends in its overseas revenues can be a key indicator for predicting the firm's future performance.

In an era of growing international interdependencies and escalating geopolitical disputes, Wall Street analysts are vigilant in tracking these trends for businesses with a global reach, in order to refine their predictions of earnings. It should be noted, however, that a multitude of other elements, such as a company's domestic position, also play a significant role in shaping the earnings forecasts.

We at Zacks strongly focus on the dynamic earnings forecast of companies, given that empirical studies have demonstrated its potent impact on the immediate price movement of stocks. Invariably, there's a positive relationship -- upward earnings predictions often result in an increase in stock prices.

Boasting a remarkable track record that's been externally verified, the Zacks Rank, our unique stock rating system, leverages changes in earnings projections to function as a reliable gauge for predicting short-term stock price movements.

Agilent, bearing a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), is expected to mirror the broader market's movements in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Alert: Claims Focus on Alleged Misrepresentations About Weakening Veterinarian Adoption and Prescription Trends That Cost ZTS Investors $23.91 Per Share Following the Final Disclosure

, /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt reminds purchasers of Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) securities of a pending securities class action.

THE CASE: A class action seeks to recover damages for investors who purchased Zoetis securities between January 14, 2025 and May 6, 2026.

YOUR OPTIONS: You may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket fees. See if you can recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.

Zoetis shares fell $23.91 per share on May 7, 2026, the fourth decline in a series of successive disclosures, after the Company admitted that veterinarian prescription trends, clinic patient volume, and pet owner price sensitivity had all deteriorated materially. Investors have until July 27, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status.

How Companion Animal Prescriptions Drive Zoetis Revenue

An animal health company dependent on veterinarian-prescribed therapies cannot sustain revenue growth when the professionals who write those prescriptions lose confidence in core products. Zoetis' four flagship Companion Animal brands, which collectively generated approximately 70% of total revenue, each required veterinarian authorization before reaching a pet owner. That structure meant veterinarian willingness to prescribe was the single most important operational lever for the Company's financial performance.

The filing states that throughout 2025 and into 2026, veterinarian adoption trends for Librela were sharply weakening following the FDA's December 2024 safety warnings about seizures and deaths in treated dogs. Simultaneously, prescription volumes for Simparica Trio and dermatology products Apoquel and Cytopoint were eroding as lower-priced competitors from Elanco captured market share.

Alleged Prescription Growth Deterioration by the Numbers

Simparica franchise posted 17% U.S. growth in Q1 2025 on $260 million in revenue, but the lawsuit contends this trajectory was unsustainable as Elanco's Credelio Quattro offered tapeworm coverage Trio lacked at a lower price point Librela had reached 86% clinic penetration by May 2025, yet the action claims veterinarians were increasingly cautious about prescribing it following reports of severe neurological events Dermatology products faced direct competition from Zenrelia, which Elanco marketed as comparable or superior to Apoquel in head-to-head studies at a lower cost By Q1 2026, the Company admitted that "share loss is being amplified by a derm market with declining patient volume in the clinic" Pet owners demonstrated "increased price sensitivity," further compressing prescription volumes across all franchises The parasiticides market itself was contracting, negatively impacting compliance rates and prescription refills Clinic Volume Decline and Price Sensitivity

As detailed in the action, the operational deterioration extended beyond competitive share loss. Patient volume inside veterinary clinics declined during the period, meaning fewer dogs were even being seen for the conditions Zoetis products treated. When combined with pet owners choosing lower-cost alternatives or delaying treatment altogether, the result was a compounding effect on Zoetis' prescription-dependent revenue model that management allegedly failed to disclose until May 2026.

Alert: Claims Focus on Alleged Misrepresentations About BitGo's Digital Asset Sales Margin Compression and Bitcoin Treasury Losses

, /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt reminds purchasers of BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO) securities of a pending securities class action.

THE CASE: A class action seeks to recover damages for investors who purchased BTGO securities between January 22, 2025 and May 13, 2026.

YOUR OPTIONS: You may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket fees. See if you can recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.

BitGo's Digital Asset Sales segment generated revenue by taking a percentage-based fee on trading volume executed through its platform. That fee model meant that when the underlying assets lost value, BitGo's revenue shrank in lockstep. The complaint contends that the Company's Offering Documents and subsequent public statements obscured the depth of this vulnerability, projecting confidence while the segment's economics deteriorated sharply.

For full year 2025, BitGo reported a net loss of $14.8 million, a reversal from $156.6 million in net income the prior year. The lead plaintiff deadline is August 7, 2026.

The Alleged Margin Collapse in Digital Asset Sales

BitGo's Digital Asset Sales segment operated on razor-thin spreads. The filing states that the quarterly margin in this segment fell from 0.47% to 0.21% year-over-year, a decline of more than 55%. At the same time, the Company's take rate dropped to approximately 24 basis points in Q4 2025 and 21 basis points for the full year. As set forth in the complaint, the Company's Offering Documents failed to adequately convey how severely a downturn in digital asset prices would compress these already narrow margins.

Bitcoin Treasury Management and Unrealized Losses

Beyond trading margins, BitGo held digital assets on its own balance sheet. The complaint recounts that BitGo attributed its swing from annual profitability to a $14.8 million net loss to "declines in digital asset prices impacting the Company's Bitcoin treasury." Q4 2025 alone produced a $50 million net loss, which the Company said was "primarily driven by unrealized losses on the company's digital asset treasury due to falling digital asset prices." The action claims these treasury risks were understated in the Offering Documents despite being a foreseeable consequence of the Company's own asset-holding strategy.

Alleged Operational Deterioration by the Numbers

Digital Asset Sales margin fell from 0.47% to 0.21%, a compression of more than 55% year-over-year Full-year take rate declined to approximately 21 basis points, below analyst expectations of 27 basis points Q4 2025 net loss reached $50 million versus $129.4 million net income in the prior-year quarter Staking revenue of $385.0 million declined 16% year-over-year, with Q4 staking revenue down approximately 64% Assets staked fell 51% year-over-year to $15.6 billion due to lower digital asset prices Q1 2026 net loss widened to $60.7 million from $25.7 million in Q1 2025 Calculate your potential recovery or call (888) SueWallSt.

"The complaint raises serious questions about whether investors received accurate information regarding the Company's exposure to digital asset price declines. A margin compression of this magnitude in a core revenue segment, combined with substantial treasury losses, suggests the risks disclosed at the time of the IPO may have materially understated the Company's vulnerability." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

ABOUT SUEWALLST -- SueWallSt is a nationally recognized leader in shareholder rights litigation. Over 70 professionals. Hundreds of millions recovered. Ranked in ISS Securities Class Action Services' Top 50 Report for seven consecutive years.

Frequently Asked Questions About the BTGO Lawsuit

Q: How much did BTGO stock drop? A: Shares fell approximately 15.71%, a decline of $1.43 per share, after BitGo disclosed a $14.8 million net loss for 2025 and significant margin compression in its Digital Asset Sales segment. A subsequent disclosure on May 13, 2026 caused an additional 17.2% decline. Investors who purchased shares during the class period at artificially inflated prices may be entitled to compensation.

Q: What specific misstatements does the BTGO lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges BitGo made materially false or misleading statements regarding the scope and severity of the risk that declining digital asset prices posed to its business, including its Digital Asset Sales margins and Bitcoin treasury exposure. When the true financial impact was revealed, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: What do BTGO investors need to do right now? A: Gather brokerage records including purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid.

As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company has provided herein a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expense to the most directly comparable measures under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expense are not intended to be substitutes for any U.S. GAAP financial measures and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled financial measures of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

The Company defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding interest income (expense), net; change in fair value of common stock warrant liabilities; other income (expense), net; provision for (benefit from) income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax expense; and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net loss from time to time, including, but not limited to charges related to impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, litigation accruals, loss contingency accruals, gain on extinguishment of debt, gains from litigation settlements, restructuring charges and one-time nonrecurring expenses, as they are not indicative of business operations.

The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP operating expense as GAAP operating expense adjusted for stock-based compensation and other special items determined by management, which may include, but are not limited to acquisition-related expenses for transaction costs, certain loss contingency accruals and restructuring charges, as they are not indicative of business operations.

More News From Skillz Inc.

Skillz (NYSE:SKLZ) reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results that management said reflected continued progress toward profitability, driven in part by accelerating growth in its AI ad tech segment, RZR, formerly known as Aarki.

Quarterly and full-year results show revenue growth and narrowing losses For the fourth quarter of 2025, Skillz reported GAAP revenue of $30 million, up from $27 million in the third quarter and $18 million in the prior-year period. The company’s adjusted EBITDA loss was $10 million, improving from a $12 million loss in Q3 and a $17 million loss a year earlier.

Management characterized the quarter as the company’s fourth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth and the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth.

For full-year 2025, Skillz reported GAAP revenue of $105 million, up from $93 million in 2024, representing 13% year-over-year growth. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $51 million from $61 million in 2024, which management said represented a 16% year-over-year improvement.

RZR rebrand and performance marketing momentum In prepared remarks, management highlighted RZR as a key growth driver in 2025. The segment, which was rebranded from Aarki “last month,” delivered 146% net revenue growth year-over-year, and, for the first time since Skillz acquired the business in 2021, generated positive adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2025.

The company attributed the momentum to “stronger systems, deeper advertiser relationships, and disciplined channel growth.” Management also said it has spent the past two years modernizing RZR’s technology stack and scaling infrastructure, positioning it as “a scaled performance marketing platform.”

Skillz said RZR is increasing machine learning training capacity and improving “auction-level intelligence,” building on data models introduced in the second quarter of 2025. The company also said RZR is expanding its retargeting and user acquisition share while improving performance across channels. Management noted that RZR’s revenue growth is being driven by both existing and new customers, and that machine learning enhancements and campaign optimization contributed to margin expansion.

Platform updates, organization changes, and player metrics Skillz outlined initiatives across what it described as four business pillars, including platform enhancements and organizational changes. On the core Skillz platform, the company said it continues to invest in content and developer tools. Management highlighted the debut of its “Pro SDK” at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, describing it as an architecture that expands the company’s development framework and provides developers “full creative control of the entire gameplay experience,” while also strengthening monetization through meta-game systems and leveraging Skillz’s competition and security infrastructure.

In its go-to-market discussion, Skillz reported paying monthly active users (PMAU) of 141,000, down from 155,000 in the third quarter but up from 110,000 in the prior-year period, representing 28% year-over-year growth.

During the Q&A, Jefferies equity research analyst Ed Alter asked about the shift between paying users and monetization trends. CFO Gaetano Franceschi said that in Q4, “one of our larger gaming developers” left the platform, contributing to the decline in paying MAU, while the company continued to increase “GMV per paying MAU.” Franceschi said that as Skillz drives better efficiencies in user acquisition, it plans to “rescale our UA spend and continue to grow also on our PMAU.”

Alter also referenced a disclosure in Skillz’s 10-K that the departing partner represented 51% of revenue last year, and asked how the transition to Skillz-branded versions of that content was progressing. Franceschi said the company does not disclose details of the transition, adding that when the partner left, some games departed immediately, while “the two larger games that are… the majority, call it 80%+, are there,” and Skillz is “in the process of transitioning to our own games.”

CEO Andrew Paradise also added that the company experienced a technical issue affecting some engagement and marketing technologies for its player base in Q4, and said the issue has been addressed. Paradise said investors were “seeing both effects in the change in PMAU in Q4.”

On the organizational front, management said operational efficiency continues to improve across both Skillz and RZR, and announced additions to its board of directors: Gary Vecchiarelli, president and CFO of CleanSpark, and Shannon Demus, CFO of the Americas at Light & Wonder. Skillz also said Jeff Shouger, former CFO of Niantic, joined the company’s board advisory group.

Expenses, net loss, and balance sheet Franceschi said the fourth quarter “highlight[s] the benefits of disciplined execution and structural improvements across both the Skillz and RZR businesses.” He detailed several expense line items for Q4 2025:

Research and development: $6 million, up 78% year-over-year Sales and marketing: $19 million, up 27% year-over-year General and administrative: $80 million, down 13% year-over-year Skillz reported a Q4 2025 net loss of $18 million, which Franceschi said improved 27% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved both sequentially and year-over-year, which the company quantified as a 17% improvement quarter-over-quarter and a 41% improvement year-over-year.

On liquidity, the company ended Q4 2025 with $195 million in cash and cash equivalents and $130 million of debt outstanding, which Franceschi said is now classified as current. With the debt approaching maturity later in 2026, Skillz said it is evaluating “a range of strategic alternatives to optimize our capital structure.”

Fair play litigation update and settlement payments Management also provided an update on its “fair play initiative,” reiterating that it is pursuing litigation against Papaya Gaming and Voodoo over alleged use of bots. The company said the Papaya trial is set for April 13, 2026 in the Southern District of New York.

Skillz also referenced its 2024 settlement with AviaGames. Management said the annual $7.5 million payment was received in the first quarter of 2026, bringing total payments received from AviaGames to $65 million to date. The company said it expects two additional $7.5 million payments in March 2027 and March 2028.

In closing remarks, management said 2025 was “a meaningful year of progress,” citing stabilized operations, improved discipline, and expanded technology foundations across Skillz and RZR. The company said it is focused on combining competitive skill gaming with AI-driven performance marketing to build an ecosystem designed to scale “engagement, data, and monetization with discipline.”

Featured Articles Five stocks we like better than Skillz

Despite this morning’s share-price pop, Skillz (NYSE:SKLZ) stock has been a brutal ride for investors, shedding 42% year-to-date. So when Cantor stepped in with a fresh Overweight initiation, it raised an obvious question: doesn’t Wall Street see something the market is missing?

The initiation arrives as Skillz shows its first real signs of stabilization in years. Q4 2025 revenue rose 34% year-over-year to $30.01 million, capping four consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth in 2025. That’s not a recovery yet, but it’s a turning point worth watching.

Ticker Company Firm Action Old Rating New Rating Old Target New Target SKLZ Skillz Cantor Initiation N/A Overweight N/A N/A The Analyst’s Case Cantor’s Overweight initiation signals conviction that Skillz’s mobile gaming platform and restructured business model can deliver a meaningful turnaround. The bull case rests on two pillars: the core Skillz competitive tournament platform and the RZR AI ad-tech segment, formerly known as Aarki, which achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025. That’s a tangible milestone in a company still burning cash overall.

Paying user monetization is also improving. Skillz’s paying Monthly Active Users rose to 141,000 from 110,000 year-over-year in Q4, and average revenue per paying user rose to $71.1 from $53.9. Fewer users, but higher-value ones. That’s a defensible monetization strategy if the platform can stabilize its broader audience.

Company Snapshot Skillz operates a mobile gaming platform that hosts competitive tournaments, connecting players globally in a real-money esports format. The company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and sits in the electronic gaming and multimedia industry. Its RZR segment adds an AI-powered advertising technology layer, creating a two-sided business that’s still finding its footing.

Also, Skillz’s full-year 2025 revenue came in at $104.5 million, up from $95.5 million in 2024, but the company carries a $127.6 million current portion of long-term debt and cash declined to $194.5 million from $271.9 million year-over-year. The balance sheet warrants serious attention.

Why the Move Matters Now With a market cap near $39 million and a price-to-book ratio of 0.349x, Skillz stock trades well below its book value, which is exactly the kind of distressed-but-stabilizing setup that initiating analysts often target. Skillz CEO Andrew Paradise noted in the Q4 earnings call:

“Throughout 2025, we made meaningful progress executing against our strategic priorities, delivering four consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth and returning to year-over-year growth in the second half of the year.”

That said, unresolved material weaknesses in internal controls and a beta of 3.089 make this one of the higher-risk analyst calls you’ll see this year.

What It Means for Your Portfolio Cantor’s Overweight initiation gives Skillz a credibility boost it sorely needs, but the risk profile places it firmly outside the comfort zone of income-focused or safety-first investors. The turnaround signals are real, and if RZR’s profitability expands while the core platform stabilizes, there’s a legitimate bull case here.

If you think mobile gaming monetization and AI ad-tech can carry Skillz to cash-flow breakeven, the current price near $2.70 may look compelling in hindsight. If the debt load and cash burn accelerate, the downside is equally real. Speculative positions in this category are typically sized small relative to a broader portfolio.

Investors are bailing on Skillz (NYSE: SKLZ) on Friday morning despite the company securing a monumental $420 million jury verdict in its high-stakes litigation against Papaya Gaming.

The federal jury in Manhattan ruled that Papaya had engaged in systematic false advertising by using “bots” in its skill-based games, misleading players into thinking they were competing against real humans.

This landmark victory initially sent SKLZ stock skyrocketing, seemingly validating the company’s long-standing claims against its rival.

However, it crashed later on to a low of about $7.20 due to three big reasons.

Skillz shares' collapse is primarily driven by a textbook case of “sell the news” profit-taking. The stock had already nearly quadrupled on Apr. 23, as speculators front-ran potential for a favorable ruling.

But in the high-velocity world of micro-cap stocks, such parabolic moves are rarely sustainable.

Once the official news hit the wires and the price peaked in the early morning hours, institutional traders and retail investors alike rushed for the exits to lock in their windfall.

This mass exodus created a liquidity vacuum where the sheer volume of “sell orders” overwhelmed the remaining buying interest, triggering multiple volatility halts and sending the share price into a tailspin as the initial euphoria evaporated.

While a $420 million award is nearly three times the current market cap of Skillz, investors seem skeptical about the firm’s ability to actually see that cash.

Historically, massive jury awards are often the beginning of a new legal battle, not the end of one.

Papaya Gaming is almost certain to file post-trial motions to minimize damages or launch a multi-year appeals process that could keep the funds tied up until the end of the decade.

Skill stock is also crashing because investors are questioning the solvency and immediate liquidity of the defendant.

If Papaya lacks the balance sheet to satisfy a nearly half-billion-dollar judgment, SKLZ could be left with a “paper win” – a legal victory that looks great on a press release but fails to provide the immediate cash infusion it needs to pivot its operations.

Long-term fundamentals remain an overhangBeyond courtroom drama, the underlying health of Skillz Inc remains a significant concern for long-term shareholders.

A one-time legal windfall – even if collected in full – doesn’t really solve the fundamental issues of declining revenue and user engagement that have plagued the company for the past two years.

Skillz’s Q4 earnings report highlighted a continuing struggle to achieve profitability, with net loss of $17.9 million due to fierce competition and rising user acquisition costs in mobile gaming.

Investors are realizing that while $420 million would provide a substantial lifeline to SKLZ shares, it does not inherently fix a broken business model or provide a clear path back to the double-digit growth seen during the pandemic era.

Skillz Inc NYSE: SKLZ Stock a Buy: An Esports Platform with UpsideSkillz NYSE: SKLZ reported higher year-over-year revenue for the first quarter of 2026 while continuing to post losses, as management highlighted improving underlying profitability, a profitable contribution from RZR and a major legal victory against Papaya Gaming.

Chief Executive Andrew Paradise said first-quarter GAAP revenue was $29 million, down 3% from the fourth quarter and up 33% from the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $13 million, compared with a loss of $10 million in the fourth quarter. Paradise said the wider sequential adjusted EBITDA loss was driven by higher litigation-related expenses.

Excluding litigation-related expenses, adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $7 million, which Paradise said represented a 15% sequential improvement on a normalized basis. RZR generated adjusted EBITDA of $2 million, marking its third consecutive quarter of profitability.

Paying users decline sequentially, but monetization improves Skillz reported paying monthly active users, or PMAU, of 128,000 in the first quarter, down 9% sequentially and up 3% year over year. Paradise said the sequential decline was partly due to lower user acquisition spending, which resulted in fewer new user cohort additions.

Management said the company is emphasizing higher-quality users and stronger unit economics rather than broad user growth. Paradise said retention among more mature cohorts improved from the prior quarter, and average revenue per paying user increased 7% quarter over quarter.

In response to a question from Jefferies analyst Ed Alter about gross marketplace volume rising despite lower paying users, Chief Financial Officer Gaetano Franceschi said Skillz has been focused on “high-paying users” and “long-term users.” He said that while PMAU was down, GMV and ARPU continued to grow.

Paradise added that the company had reduced user acquisition spending in the quarter while tightening its focus on profitable acquisition, shorter breakeven periods and better one-year paybacks. He said Skillz was “thinking about how to thoughtfully expand on marketing” after reaching what he described as a very tight level of spend exiting the quarter.

Papaya verdict remains a central focus Paradise spent a significant portion of the call discussing Skillz’s litigation against Papaya Gaming. In April, a unanimous jury in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York found Papaya liable for false advertising under the Lanham Act and deceptive practices under New York law, awarding Skillz $420 million in actual damages.

Paradise called it “the largest false advertising award in U.S. history under the Lanham Act.” He said the jury also made advisory findings supporting disgorgement of either $719 million based on Papaya’s profits or $652 million based on Papaya’s cost savings, though he emphasized those are alternative theories and will not be added together.

The court will determine whether to award disgorgement and in what amount. Paradise said the Lanham Act allows the court to enhance actual damages by up to three times the $420 million award, while any disgorgement award would not be subject to a cap on enhancement. He said the total potential award ranges from $420 million to more than $1.2 billion, depending on the court’s determinations.

Paradise said Skillz brought the case as part of its “Fair Play Initiative,” arguing that the skill-based competitive gaming category depends on players competing against real human opponents. He said Papaya’s internal documents showed bots were deployed at scale, with bot scores determining outcomes without disclosure to players.

Paradise also referenced Skillz’s earlier litigation against AviaGames, noting that a federal jury awarded Skillz $42.9 million for patent infringement in 2024 and that Skillz later settled related cases with Avia for $80 million.

Looking ahead, Paradise said Skillz expects the court to determine the final disgorgement award in June. He said the parties have been ordered to engage in settlement discussions, and Skillz is also evaluating alternatives to secure capital against the judgment while monitoring whether an appeal bond or other secured capital will be required.

RZR and Beamable positioned as part of broader ecosystem Management outlined three operating priorities for 2026: strengthening demand and engagement, executing a more efficient go-to-market strategy and improving platform performance and infrastructure.

Paradise said Solitaire Skillz continues to scale as a top title on the platform. He also pointed to Skillz’s acquisitions of Blackout Bingo and Dominoes Gold, saying the company now owns and operates three of the top five titles on its platform.

RZR, the company’s performance marketing business, added new advertisers across gaming, consumer applications, retail and entertainment during the quarter, Paradise said. RZR also launched a Connected TV business, which management said opens a new channel for advertiser spending. Paradise said RZR continued to migrate to more advanced neural network models and improve training efficiency and prediction accuracy.

Skillz also completed its acquisition of Beamable in the first quarter. Paradise described Beamable as a developer platform providing game services and backend infrastructure that Skillz expects to use across its products over time. He said Beamable will continue serving developers and studios that used the platform before the acquisition.

Expenses, cash position and debt Franceschi said first-quarter research and development expenses were $5 million, up 5% year over year, reflecting continued investment in Skillz and RZR. Sales and marketing expenses were $17 million, down 4% year over year. Within that total, end-user marketing was $8 million and user acquisition was $3 million.

General and administrative expenses were $19 million, up 2% year over year. Net loss was $11 million, improving 36% from the prior-year period. Franceschi said the company ended the quarter with $185 million in cash and cash equivalents and $130 million of debt outstanding due by the end of 2026.

As the debt approaches maturity, Franceschi said Skillz is evaluating “a range of strategic alternatives” to optimize its capital structure. He said management believes the company’s balance sheet remains healthy and that Skillz is managing capital prudently as it works toward sustained profitability.

Management discusses owned content strategy During the question-and-answer session, analysts asked about Skillz’s shift toward owning and operating more games on its platform. Paradise said owning and operating games represents a shift from the company’s historical reliance on third-party and second-party developer relationships, though he noted Skillz has invested in platform content for years.

Paradise said owning games in categories with relatively little future development, such as solitaire, can create stability and provide a consistent offering for the platform. He compared the strategy to approaches used elsewhere in the gaming industry, citing Epic’s Fortnite and Valve’s Dota 2 and Counter-Strike as examples of gaming platforms that also operate major content.

Asked by Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Bharath Nagaraj about user acquisition costs following the Papaya verdict, Paradise said it would be difficult to directly link the lawsuit outcome to customer acquisition costs. However, he said Skillz exited the first quarter with the best user acquisition prices it had seen in multiple years and is considering how to scale spending where prices are attractive.

Scorpio Tankers (STNG - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 5. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis shipping company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +165.1%.

Revenues are expected to be $291.57 million, up 42.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 285.78% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Scorpio Tankers?For Scorpio Tankers, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

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

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Scorpio Tankers would post earnings of $1.37 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.62, delivering a surprise of +18.25%.

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

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Scorpio Tankers doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsKirby (KEX - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Transportation - Shipping industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $1.41 for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +6%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $842.02 million, up 7.2% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for Kirby has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.36%.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Kirby will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.

On May 4, 2026, the Board of Directors replenished and increased the 2023 Securities Repurchase Program to purchase up to an aggregate of $500.0 million of the Company’s securities, which currently include its common stock, Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030, and Convertible Notes due 2031. This resets the program that was previously replenished on July 29, 2024.

As of May 5, 2026, there is $500.0 million available under the Company's 2023 Securities Repurchase Program.

Diluted Weighted Number of Shares

The computation of earnings per share is determined by taking into consideration the potentially dilutive shares arising from the Company’s equity incentive plan. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share to the extent they are anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s basic weighted average number of shares outstanding was 47,192,867. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 50,025,865, which included the potentially dilutive impact of restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan.

Given the issuance of the Convertible Notes in April 2026 (as described below), diluted earnings per share will be calculated under the if-converted method in subsequent quarters.

(2) In March 2026, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $20.2 million on the 2023 $1.0 Billion Credit Facility related to STI Solidarity and STI Osceola in advance of the sales of these vessels.

(3) In April 2026, the Company received a commitment from Bank of America for a credit facility of up to $50.0 million. The credit facility will be used to refinance the existing debt on two 2015 built LR2 product tankers, STI Rose and STI Alexis. The credit facility will have a final maturity of seven years from the drawdown date of each vessel and bears interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.20% per annum. There is currently $11.7 million of debt outstanding on the 2023 $49.1 Million Credit Facility related to STI Rose and $10.7 million of debt outstanding on the 2023 $117.4 Million Credit Facility related to STI Alexis.

(4) The LR2 product tanker that was financed under this arrangement, STI Symphony, was purchased in February 2026 and the outstanding lease obligation on the date of purchase was repaid.

(5) In April 2026, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 bearing interest at a rate of 1.75% and maturing on April 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, repurchased, or redeemed.

Prior to January 15, 2031, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after January 15, 2031, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes is 9.9615 shares of common stock, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $100.39 per share. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 20, 2029 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. In addition, the Company will have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Convertible Notes if certain changes in tax law occur and certain other conditions are satisfied. Except as described in the two immediately preceding sentences, the Convertible Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date.

(6) Pro Forma adjustments include (i) the expected prepayment of $10.7 million related to the 2014 built scrubber-fitted LR2 product tanker, STI Madison, on the 2023 $225.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility; and (ii) the expected net proceeds of $396.9 million related to the sales of STI Osceola, STI Black Hawk, STI Brooklyn, STI Opera, STI Aqua, STI Regina, STI Park, STI Sloane, and STI Madison net of the $10.7 million debt repayment.

Set forth below are the estimated expected future principal repayments on the Company's outstanding indebtedness, which includes principal amounts due under the Company's secured credit facilities, Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2030 and Convertible Notes (which also include actual scheduled payments made from April 1, 2026 through May 1, 2026):

Explanation of Variances on the First Quarter of 2026 Financial Results Compared to the First Quarter of 2025

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded net income of $216.3 million compared to net income of $58.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The following were the significant changes between the two periods:

TCE revenue, a Non-IFRS measure, is vessel revenues less voyage expenses (including bunkers and port charges). TCE revenue is included herein because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance irrespective of changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyages, time charters, and pool charters), and it provides useful information to investors and management. The following table sets forth TCE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025:    For the three months ended March 31,In thousands of U.S. dollars  2026   2025  Vessel revenue $312,860  $213,984  Voyage expenses  (9,839)  (9,784) TCE revenue $303,021  $204,200  TCE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $98.8 million to $303.0 million, from $204.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 despite the average number of vessels decreasing to 91.0 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 99.0 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Overall, the average daily TCE revenue increased to $37,697 per vessel during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $23,971 per vessel during the three months ended March 31, 2025.TCE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased as compared to the same period in the previous year reflecting a significantly stronger product tanker market in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The strong start to the quarter was driven by robust refined product demand, tightening the supply-demand balance across the fleet. Rates strengthened further as disruptions stemming from the conflict in the Middle East reduced exports, requiring barrels to be sourced from more distant markets. Despite lower volumes, longer voyage distances and resulting fleet dislocation drove a meaningful increase in average daily TCE rates compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Vessel operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $1.8 million to $68.8 million, from $70.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to a decrease in the average number of vessels, resulting from the sale of five MRs and five LR2s since March 31, 2025. Vessel operating costs increased to $8,355 per vessel per day for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $7,924 per vessel per day for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher spares and stores expenses on MR vessels which was mainly attributable to timing.Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $3.2 million to $41.5 million, from $44.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease resulted from 18 vessels either being sold or classified as held for sale since March 31, 2025.General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $10.6 million to $39.1 million, from $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase in compensation related costs, as well as audit and legal expenses.Financial expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $7.4 million to $12.2 million, from $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of the decrease in our average debt from $979.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $615.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as we continued to deleverage and repay debt associated with vessel sales. In addition, $0.7 million of interest was capitalized related to the installments paid on our newbuildings during the three months ended March 31, 2026.During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded $0.5 million of write-offs of deferred financing fees (compared to $0.3 million during the prior year period) resulting primarily from repayment of debt associated with the sale of vessels. Amortization of deferred financing fees was $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Dividend income and fair value gain (loss) on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was a gain of $11.4 million, consisting of a fair value gain of $9.5 million and $1.9 million of dividends related to our investment in DHT Holdings Inc., which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2025.  Scorpio Tankers Inc. and Subsidiaries

(2)  Freight rates are commonly measured in the shipping industry in terms of time charter equivalent per day (or TCE per day), which is calculated by subtracting voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges, from vessel revenue and dividing the net amount (time charter equivalent revenues) by the number of revenue days in the period. Revenue days are the number of days vessels are part of the fleet less the number of days vessels are off-hire for drydock and repairs.

For bareboat chartered-out vessels, the charterers are responsible for the vessel operating costs. 

(3)  Vessel operating costs per day represent vessel operating costs divided by the number of operating days during the period. Operating days are the total number of available days in a period with respect to vessels that are owned, operating under a lease financing arrangement, or bareboat chartered-in, before deducting available days due to off-hire days and days in drydock.

Non-IFRS Measures

Reconciliation of IFRS Financial Information to Non-IFRS Financial Information

This press release describes time charter equivalent revenue, or TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted EBITDA, which are not measures prepared in accordance with IFRS ("Non-IFRS" measures). The Non-IFRS measures are presented in this press release as we believe that they provide investors and other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, with a means of evaluating and understanding how the Company's management evaluates the Company's operating performance. These Non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that the presentation of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors or other users of our financial statements, such as our lenders, because they facilitate the comparability and the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. In addition, the Company believes that TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in the Company’s industry. The Company’s definitions of TCE revenue, adjusted net income or loss with adjusted earnings or loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries.

TCE revenue, on a historical basis, is reconciled above in the section entitled "Explanation of Variances on the First Quarter of 2026 Financial Results Compared to the First Quarter of 2025". The Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking TCE revenue because the most directly comparable IFRS measure on a forward-looking basis is not available to the Company without unreasonable effort.

Scorpio Tankers Inc. (STNG) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

MONACO, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpio Tankers Inc. (NYSE: STNG) (the “Company”) announced today that it priced a private offering (the “Offering”) of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “New Notes”). The offering size was increased from the announced offering size of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes. The New Notes priced at 110.25% of par, plus accrued interest in the amount of approximately $1.56 per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes from, and including, April 10, 2026, to, but excluding May 12, 2026, and any additional accrued interest from May 12, 2026 if the settlement of the New Notes occurs after that date. The offering of New Notes resulted in gross proceeds of $220.5 million (before any exercise of the initial purchaser’s option to purchase additional New Notes), and a combined yield to maturity of approximately 1.0% for the aggregate series of New Notes and Initial Notes (as defined below). The New Notes will be sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The New Notes will be issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Company’s $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75 % convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “Initial Notes” and, together with the New Notes, the “Notes”) issued on April 10, 2026 and will form a part of the same series of Notes as the Initial Notes. Although the New Notes will initially trade under a different Rule 144A CUSIP number than the Initial Notes, the Company expects that once de-legended, the New Notes will trade with the same CUSIP number as the Initial Notes. The Company also granted to the initial purchaser of the New Notes an option to purchase, during a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the first date on which the New Notes are issued, up to an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes.

The Company has agreed to repurchase, concurrently with the closing of the Offering, 649,427 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) from purchasers of the New Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through the initial purchaser or an affiliate, at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price of $84.69 per share of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 7, 2026.

The Offering is expected to close on May 12, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2031, unless earlier converted or repurchased or redeemed by the Company. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2026. The interest payment to be made with respect to the New Notes on October 15, 2026, will include interest deemed to have accrued from, and including, April 10, 2026, and the offering price of the New Notes includes such accrued interest.

Prior to January 15, 2031, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after January 15, 2031, holders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Notes may be settled at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The initial conversion rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes is 9.9615 shares of Common Stock, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $100.39 per share. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 20, 2029 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. In addition, the Company will have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes if certain changes in tax law occur and certain other conditions are satisfied. Except as described in the two immediately preceding sentences, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” occur, then, subject to limited exceptions, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $216.3 million (excluding accrued interest) (or approximately $248.8 million (excluding accrued interest) if the initial purchaser exercises its option to purchase additional Notes in full), after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated Offering expenses. The Company intends to use (i) approximately $55.0 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to repurchase 649,427 shares of Common Stock as described above and (ii) the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Company’s share repurchases could have increased, or prevented a decrease in, the market price of the Common Stock or the Notes.

The New Notes were only offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The New Notes and any shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Notes, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the "long context," investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at Scorpio Tankers (STNG - Free Report) , a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Scorpio Tankers currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if STNG is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this shipping company holds up.

A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.

For STNG, shares are up 5.9% over the past week while the Zacks Transportation - Shipping industry is up 4.22% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 11.42% compares favorably with the industry's 8.45% performance as well.

Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of Scorpio Tankers have increased 24.97% over the past quarter, and have gained 108.19% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 6.19% and 31.79%, respectively.

Investors should also take note of STNG's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now STNG is averaging 1,062,037 shares for the last 20 days..

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with STNG.

Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost STNG's consensus estimate, increasing from $4.64 to $11.44 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 3 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that STNG is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of B. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Scorpio Tankers on your short list.

The Zacks Transportation - Shipping industry is benefiting from strategic diversification initiatives and an increasing shift toward digitalization aimed at improving operational efficiency. The industry is also witnessing positive momentum from a stronger focus on environmental compliance and the growing adoption of alternative fuels.

Despite elevated fuel costs driven by ongoing tensions in the Middle East and broader macroeconomic challenges, industry participants such as International Seaways (INSW - Free Report) , Scorpio Tankers (STNG - Free Report) , and Seanergy Maritime Holdings (SHIP - Free Report) remain well-positioned to benefit from ongoing business streamlining and efficiency-enhancement efforts.

Industry Overview The companies belonging to the Zacks Transportation - Shipping industry, which is cyclical in nature, offer liquefied natural gas and crude oil marine transportation services under long-term, fixed-rate contracts with energy and utility bigwigs. Most participants focus on the seaborne transportation of crude oil and other oil products globally. The industry also includes players that own, operate and manage liquefied natural gas carriers. Some participants are owners and operators of containerships for charter. The change in the e-commerce landscape due to the coronavirus impact implies that shippers are relying more on third-party logistics providers. The well-being of the industry participants is directly proportional to the health of the economy. The resumption of economic activities after coming to a standstill during COVID-19 bodes well for the industry.

4 Shipping Industry Trends in Focus Digitalization and AI Adoption Driving Transformation: Digitalization and the adoption of artificial intelligence are positively reshaping the global shipping industry by improving efficiency, transparency and decision-making throughout the supply chain. Advanced analytics and machine learning technologies enable more accurate demand forecasting, optimized routing and better fuel consumption management, resulting in lower operational costs and reduced emissions.

At the same time, real-time tracking systems and IoT-enabled sensors enhance cargo visibility, reduce delays and strengthen risk management by identifying potential disruptions at an early stage. Automation across ports and vessels is streamlining loading, unloading and documentation procedures, which helps accelerate turnaround times while minimizing human error. In addition, AI-powered predictive maintenance allows shipping companies to prevent equipment failures, extend asset life, and maintain safer and more reliable operations.

Stronger Emphasis on Green Transition Supporting Growth: The growing focus on the green transition is generating substantial long-term advantages for the shipping industry by encouraging technological innovation, improving operational efficiency and strengthening market competitiveness. The increasing use of alternative fuels such as LNG, methanol, ammonia and biofuels is helping reduce emissions while enabling compliance with stricter environmental regulations and carbon pricing frameworks.

At the same time, advancements in vessel design, high-performance coatings and modern propulsion systems are contributing to lower operating costs. The adoption of sustainable practices is also improving access to green financing opportunities and attracting customers looking for low-carbon logistics solutions. Furthermore, enhanced collaboration among shipbuilders, ports and technology providers is supporting the development of critical infrastructure, increasing industry resilience and preparing the sector for future regulatory and market developments.

Emphasis on Shareholder Returns: Dividend-paying stocks are known for providing steady income and typically experience less volatility than non-dividend payers. As a result, they are often viewed as dependable vehicles for long-term wealth creation, with dividends helping to offset the effects of economic turbulence — conditions that remain prevalent today. Among shipping stocks, Seanergy Maritime, earlier this year, announced a 53.8% increase in its quarterly dividend to 20 cents per share.

Macroeconomic Turmoil Is Worrisome: Global macroeconomic weakness and volatile supply-chain dynamics are persistent concerns. Tariff troubles, especially between the United States and China, remain an overhang on global supply chains. High inflation and elevated fuel costs due to the unrest in the Middle East represent grave concerns for industry players.

Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Upbeat Prospects The Zacks Transportation - Shipping industry lies within the broader Zacks  Transportation sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #46, which places it in the top 19% of 245 Zacks industries.

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates bright near-term prospects. 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.

Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are optimistic about this group’s earnings growth. As a matter of fact, the industry’s earnings estimate for 2026 has gone up 57% since March 2026.

Before we present a few stocks that you may want to add to your portfolio, let’s look at the industry’s recent stock-market performance and its valuation picture.

Industry Outperforms the Sector and the S&P 500 The Zacks Transportation - Shipping industry has surpassed the Zacks S&P 500 composite index as well as the broader sector over the past year.

Over this period, the industry has surged in excess of 66% compared with the S&P 500 Index’s northward movement of 30.8%. The broader sector has moved 17.1% north in the same timeframe.

One-Year Price Performance

Industry's Current Valuation Based on the forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E- F12M), a commonly used multiple for valuing shipping stocks, the industry is currently trading at 12.11X, compared with the S&P 500’s 22.16X. It is also below the sector’s P/E (F12) reading of 15.17X.

Over the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 16.74X, as low as 3.88X and at the median of 5.94X.

P/E Ratio (Forward 12-Month)

3 Transportation-Shipping Stocks to Buy Now International Seaways is benefiting from the increasing demand for tanker tonnage amid instability in the Strait of Hormuz, which is lengthening shipping routes. The tanker sector is experiencing strong rates, a further tailwind for INSW.

Efforts to modernize its fleet also bode well for International Seaways. INSW currently flaunts a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). The shipping company’s earnings have outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the past four quarters. The average beat is 33.9%.

DNV’s technical evaluation of the pilot installation onboard Scorpio Tankers vessel confirms Carbon Ridge OCCS performance results.

ATHENS, Greece & SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--An assessment from global classification society DNV, using its Recommended Practice for performance verification of onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS), has confirmed Carbon Ridge’s centrifugal onboard carbon capture system can reach CO2 capture rates of as high as 98%. This is the first maritime deployment of a centrifugal OCCS system, which during the testing was set up to capture and treat a part of the emissions stream generated by a LR2 product tanker owned by Scorpio Tankers Inc.

For any shipowner that foresees higher prices or stricter regulations for carbon, Carbon Ridge’s OCCS is an attractive solution - Cameron Mackey, Scorpio Tankers COO

Share The results were reached using data gathered over a scheduled five-month pilot period, which commenced in July 2025 at Besiktas Shipyard in Turkey, on the 109,999 dwt, 2015-built STI Spiga as the vessel undertook regular commercial operations.

DNV reviewed and validated the associated methodologies, calculations, and reported performance metrics and based on the data provided was able to corroborate peak CO2 capture rates of over 98%, with 55% of the observations falling within a range of 86–98%.

“This evaluation under DNV’s Recommended Practice validates the capability of Carbon Ridge’s modular centrifugal OCCS technology to significantly reduce the emissions of existing and newbuild vessels,” said Chase Dwyer, Carbon Ridge CEO & Founder. “The initial data and learnings from the STI Spiga trial further underpin our ambitions to scale Carbon Ridge’s OCCS across the global fleet. This work would not be possible without industry partners like Scorpio Tankers Inc. supporting the deployment of these critical technologies.”

Chara Georgopoulou, Head of Onboard Carbon Capture, DNV Maritime, said: “Independently verified carbon capture rates will be vital to building out a commercially viable business model for OCCS. At DNV we are applying our new OCCS verification Recommended Practice to make sure performance reporting can be accurately and consistently applied across the industry and to help OCCS scale. This has been a great cooperation with Scorpio Tankers and Carbon Ridge, and we look forward to taking the next steps, moving from periodic verification to continuous assurance by using real-time data.”

Scorpio Tankers Inc. Chief Operating Officer Cameron Mackey said: “We’re pleased that DNV has validated the results of our trial with Carbon Ridge. For any shipowner that foresees higher prices or stricter regulations for carbon, Carbon Ridge’s OCCS is an attractive solution. Their system is both straightforward to install and places a low operational burden on the crew. Carbon Ridge has demonstrated the technical capability and understanding required for marine deployment, and we look forward to building on this partnership.”

The Scorpio Tankers Inc. pilot marks the first deployment of a centrifugal OCCS system in maritime operations, establishing Carbon Ridge as the pioneer in bringing this method of carbon capture to the shipping industry.

Reaffirming Full Year 2026 Guidance

For the year ending December 31, 2026, the Company expects:

Revenue to be in the range of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billionAdjusted EBITDA(2) to be in the range of $200 million to $230 millionAdjusted net income per common share(2) to be in the range of $0.65 to $0.75 For the quarter ending June 30, 2026, the Company expects revenue to be in the range of $300 million to $320 million.

(1) A reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measure to its Non-GAAP measure is included below.

(2) A reconciliation of projected Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per common share, which are forward-looking measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is not provided because we are unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a quantitative reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the components of the applicable GAAP measures and non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. The GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as non-cash share-based compensation, revaluation of the fair-value of our contingent consideration, and the tax effect of such items, in addition to other items we have historically excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per common share. We expect to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of these non-GAAP measures and may also exclude other similar items that may arise in the future (collectively, “non-GAAP adjustments”). The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur. As such, for our 2026 guidance, we have not included estimates for these items and are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, technology or product developments, financing and investment plans, dividend policy, competitive position, industry and regulatory environment, including potential regulatory reform related to energy credits, uncertainty relating to the implementation of tariffs and changes in trade policy, including the reduction or elimination of certain government incentives, ability to provide 100% domestic content trackers, expectations regarding the macroeconomic environment and geopolitical developments, including the effects of tariffs and changes in trade policy, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “designed to” “positioned” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.

ARRAY’s actual results and the timing of events could materially differ from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including without limitation: changes in growth or the rate of growth in demand for solar energy projects; factors outside of our control affecting the variability and demand for solar energy, including but not limited to, the retail price of electricity, availability of in-demand components like high-voltage breakers, various policies related to the permitting and interconnection costs of solar plants, and the availability of incentives for solar energy and solar energy production systems, which makes it difficult to predict our future prospects; competitive pressures within our industry; competition from conventional and renewable energy sources; a loss of one or more of our significant customers, their inability to perform under their contracts, or their default in payment; a drop in the price of electricity derived from the utility grid or from alternative energy sources; fluctuations in our results of operations across fiscal periods, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations; any increase in interest rates, or a reduction in the availability of tax equity or project debt capital in the global financial markets, which could make it difficult for customers to finance the cost of a solar energy system and reduce the demand for our products; existing electric utility industry policies and regulations, and any subsequent changes or new related policies and regulations, including as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems and may significantly reduce demand for our products or harm our ability to compete; the interruption of the flow of materials from international vendors, which could disrupt our supply chain, including as a result of the imposition of new and/or additional duties, tariffs and other charges or restrictions on imports and exports; changes in the global trade environment, including the continuation or imposition of import tariffs or other import restrictions; geopolitical, macroeconomic and other market conditions unrelated to our operating performance including but not limited to a pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, conflict in the Middle East (including, but not limited to, the war in Iran), changing trade policies, inflation and interest rates; our ability to convert our orders in backlog into revenue; the reduction, elimination or expiration, or our failure to optimize the benefits of government incentives for, or regulations mandating the use of, renewable energy and solar energy, particularly in relation to our competitors, which could reduce demand for solar energy systems; failure to, or incurrence of significant costs in order to, obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce, our intellectual property and other proprietary rights; delays in construction projects and any failure to manage our inventory; significant changes in the cost of raw materials; disruptions to transportation and logistics, including increases in shipping costs; defects or performance problems in our products, which could result in loss of customers, reputational damage and decreased revenue; delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our product development operations; our ability to retain our key personnel or failure to attract additional qualified personnel; additional business, financial, regulatory and competitive risks due to our continued planned expansion into new markets; cybersecurity or other data incidents, including unauthorized disclosure of personal or sensitive data or theft of confidential information and the use of artificial intelligence by cyber threat actors; a failure to maintain an effective system of integrated internal controls over financial reporting, which may impair our ability to report our financial results accurately; our substantial indebtedness, risks related to actual or threatened public health epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks or crises; changes to laws and regulations, including changes to tax laws and regulations, that are applied adversely to us or our customers; our ability to successfully integrate APA Solar, LLC into our existing operations and realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of the acquisition; and other factors listed and described in more detail in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our other documents on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, each of which can be found on our website, www.arraytechinc.com.

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this report. You should read this press release with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net (loss) income, Adjusted net (loss) income per common share, Adjusted general and administrative expense and Free cash flow.

We define Adjusted gross profit as gross profit plus (i) amortization of developed technology and backlog and (ii) acquisition-related expenses. We define Adjusted gross margin as Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income to common stockholders plus (i) other (income) expense, net, (ii) foreign currency (gain) loss, net, (iii) preferred dividends and accretion, (iv) interest expense, (v) income tax expense, (vi) depreciation expense, (vii) amortization of intangibles, (viii) amortization of developed technology and backlog, (ix) equity-based compensation, (x) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (xi) certain legal expenses, and (xii) acquisition-related expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We define Adjusted net income as net (loss) income to common stockholders plus (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) amortization of developed technology and backlog, (iii) amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, (iv) Series A preferred stock accretion, (v) equity-based compensation, (vi) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (vii) certain legal expenses, (viii) acquisition-related expenses, and (ix) income tax expense adjustments. We define Adjusted general and administrative expense as general and administrative expense less (i) equity-based compensation, (ii) certain legal expenses, and (iii) acquisition-related expenses. We define Free cash flow as Net cash used in operating activities less purchase of property, plant and equipment.

A detailed reconciliation between GAAP results and results excluding special items (“non-GAAP”) is included within this press release. We calculate net (loss) income per common share as net (loss) income to common stockholders divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the applicable period and we define Adjusted net income per common share as Adjusted net income (as detailed above) divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the applicable period.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of our past financial performance and our prospects for the future. Our management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance, as well as in planning and forecasting future periods. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Among other limitations, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted general and administrative expense and Free cash flow do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; do not reflect income tax expense or benefit; and other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted general and administrative expense and Free cash flow differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted general and administrative expense and Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted general and administrative expense and Free cash flow on a supplemental basis.

You should review the reconciliation of gross profit to Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin, net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share, General and administrative expense to Adjusted general and administrative expense and Net cash used in operating activities to Free cash flow below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
