D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) a Rigetti Computing (RGTI) oznámí hospodářské výsledky za čtvrtletí zítra po silném růstu akcií v období duben–červen. QBTS vzrostl o 75,1 % a RGTI o 43,1 %.
Key Takeaways For QBTS, focus will be on bookings conversion, enterprise demand & progress after Quantum Circuits buyout. RGTI is expected to benefit from Novera deliveries, Cepheus-1 adoption and broader cloud platform activity.Both companies face high expectations. Continued R&D and commercialization spending may dampen profits. With IonQ (IONQ - Free Report) scheduled to release its second-quarter 2026 results today after market close, investor attention will next shift to D-Wave Quantum (QBTS - Free Report) and Rigetti Computing (RGTI - Free Report) , both set to report June-quarter results tomorrow.
The key question is whether the two pureplay quantum computing players can deliver results and business updates that validate their strong stock performance during the quarter. QBTS and RGTI shares surged 75.1% and 43.1%, respectively, in the April-June period, significantly outperforming the 26.6% gain in the Computer and Technology sector and the 14.6% advance in the S&P 500 index.
April-June Stock Comparison: QBTS, RGTI

For D-Wave, key focus areas include bookings conversion, remaining performance obligations, enterprise demand and progress following the Quantum Circuits acquisition. For Rigetti, investors will closely monitor revenue recognition from Novera system deliveries, customer traction for its 108-qubit Cepheus platform, cloud usage and execution against its technology roadmap, while assessing whether management's commentary supports sustained commercial momentum into the second half of 2026.
D-Wave earnings missed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and topped on one occasion, the average negative surprise being 351.22%.
On the contrary, Rigetti earnings topped estimates in each of the trailing four quarters with an average surprise of 29.17%.
How Are Q2 Estimates Poised for D-Wave and Rigetti?QBTS: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second-quarter bottom line has widened by one cent to a loss of 9 cents per share over the past seven days. However, the estimated figure indicates an 83.6% improvement from the year-ago figure.
The consensus mark for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.82 million, indicating a 23.2% year-over-year increase.

RGTI: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second-quarter bottom line has remained unchanged at a loss of 3 cents per share over the past 60 days. The estimated figure indicates a 40% narrower loss from the year-ago figure.
The consensus mark for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $4.91 million, indicating a 173% year-over-year increase.

What to Expect from D-Wave Quantum's Q2 ResultsD-Wave Quantum entered the second quarter of 2026 with strong commercial momentum after reporting record first-quarter bookings of $33.4 million and remaining performance obligations (RPO) of $42.4 million. This was largely supported by a $20 million system sale and a $10 million enterprise quantum computing-as-a-service agreement. Management indicated second-quarter revenues would be modestly higher sequentially, with a substantial portion of 2026 revenues expected in the second half as system deliveries progress. We expect bookings conversion, revenue recognition from system sales, RPO growth and enterprise adoption to act as crucial factors behind the second-quarter results.
Operationally, D-Wave continued expanding its dual-platform strategy following the Quantum Circuits acquisition, while advancing its gate-model roadmap and commercialization of its annealing systems. Progress in blockchain, AI-related customer deployments and additional system sales are expected to contribute to second-quarter top-line numbers of QBTS. However, continued investments in R&D, sales expansion and integration activities are likely to keep profitability under pressure despite improving business fundamentals.
What to Expect From Rigetti’s Q2 ResultsRigetti started the second quarter with improving commercial execution and continued technology milestones. First-quarter revenues nearly tripled year over year, driven by Novera quantum processing unit (QPU) deliveries, while management indicated that most of the remaining revenues from the previously announced Novera purchase orders would be recognized in the second quarter. The execution of these system deliveries, adoption of the newly launched 108-qubit Cepheus-1 platform and customer activity across Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services, Amazon Braket, Microsoft Azure Quantum and qBraid are expected to have contributed to RGTI’s Q2 performance.
Management also reiterated its focus on improving system fidelity while maintaining a disciplined investment strategy supported by a debt-free balance sheet. Continued spending on R&D, fabrication and infrastructure, however, is likely to have weighed on near-term profitability as Rigetti prioritizes long-term technology leadership over short-term earnings.
What the Zacks Model Unveils for QBTS and RGTI StocksQBTS: Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for D-Wave this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here.
D-Wave has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
RGTI: Rigetti has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3. This combination also can't conclusively predict an earnings beat tomorrow.
Our TakeD-Wave and Rigetti head into their second-quarter earnings releases with solid operational momentum, but elevated expectations following their strong April-June stock rallies, which leave little room for disappointment. D-Wave's bookings conversion, enterprise demand and commercialization progress are the crucial factors this time, while Rigetti's execution on Novera system deliveries, cloud adoption and technology roadmap will remain key.
Although both companies continue to invest aggressively in R&D and commercialization, near-term profitability is likely to remain under pressure. While D-Wave's Zacks Rank reflects its stronger fundamental outlook, that of Rigetti suggests investors may prefer waiting for further evidence of sustained execution following its recent rally.
Favorable purchasing conditions continue in U.S. marketGlobal portfolio purchases of $444 million, including record $372 million in U.S.Global collections up 13% to record $737 million Earnings per share of $2.81 includes $1.00 per share of refinancing costs SAN DIEGO, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encore Capital Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECPG), an international specialty finance company, today reported consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
“Encore’s performance in the second quarter affirmed our industry leadership through record U.S. portfolio purchasing and record global collections in addition to meaningfully improving the funding of our global business through a billion-dollar refinancing at attractive terms,” said Ashish Masih, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Second quarter global portfolio purchases were $444 million and global collections were $737 million. This collections performance helped drive GAAP net income in the second quarter of $64 million or $2.81 per share, which includes refinancing costs of $1.00 per share.”
“Our MCM business in the U.S. continues to deliver very strong results. Capitalizing on the ongoing attractive market opportunity in the U.S. driven by ample portfolio supply, MCM purchased $372 million of portfolios in the second quarter, our strongest purchasing quarter ever. MCM also delivered record collections of $572 million in the second quarter, up 17% compared to Q2 a year ago. This exceptional collections performance is the result of strong execution and continued significant portfolio purchasing as well as the deployment of new technologies, enhanced digital capabilities and continued operational innovation.”
“Our Cabot business in Europe delivered a solid second quarter. Portfolio purchases were $72 million while collections of $164 million were in line with the second quarter last year.”
“In May we refinanced $1 billion of debt, incurring $30.5 million of refinancing costs in the second quarter, which will save approximately $15 million in annual interest expense going forward.”
“As a result of our strong first half of the year, we are revising our global collections guidance and now expect our full-year 2026 collections to be in a range between $2.80 billion and $2.85 billion, reflecting year-over-year growth of 8-10%. Additionally, we now expect our EPS in 2026 to be within a range from $13.00 to $14.00 per share, even after absorbing $1.00 per share of refinancing costs in the second quarter. Our guidance for portfolio purchasing remains within a range from $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion. As always, we remain committed to the critical role we play in the consumer credit ecosystem and to helping consumers restore their financial health,” said Masih.
In the second quarter, the company repurchased approximately $27 million of its shares of common stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release includes certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company has included information concerning adjusted EBITDA because management utilizes this information in the evaluation of its operations and believes that this measure is a useful indicator of the Company’s ability to generate cash collections in excess of operating expenses through the liquidation of its receivable portfolios. Adjusted EBITDA has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income and net income per share as indicators of the Company’s operating performance. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure, as presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is below.

Royalty Generator Model Update
Our royalty generator model continues to generate positive results. We have generated 56 royalties since the acquisition of Ely Gold Royalties Inc. in 2021 through this model. We currently have 38 properties subject to land agreements and six properties under lease generating land agreement proceeds. The model continued to incur low operating costs to maintain our mineral interests in the second quarter of 2026.
2026 Outlook
The Company maintains its previously announced forecast of between 7,500 and 9,300 GEOs in 2026, which includes approximately 684 GEOs relating to Land Agreement Proceeds credited against other mineral interest and interest payments, and is based on an assumed gold price of $5,150 per ounce, and an assumed copper price of $5.75 per pound.
Commodity prices will affect calculation of GEOs from copper (and other metals) stream and royalties and from Land Agreement Proceeds and other payments. Please see our news release dated March 18, 2026 for a sensitivity table to illustrate the potential variability of our 2026 guidance to gold and copper metal prices.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share, basic and diluted
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) for the impact of: land agreement proceeds credited against other mineral interests, interest income credited against gold-linked loan, one-time adjustment related to the purchase of Pedra Branca Royalty, accretion of convertible debentures, transaction related and non-recurring general and administrative expenses(1), share of loss in associate, dilution loss in associated, changes in fair value of embedded derivative, short-term investments and gold-linked loan, loss (gain) on loan modification, foreign exchange loss (gain) and other income. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share, basic and diluted, have been determined by dividing the Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average number of common shares for the applicable period. Management believes that they are useful measures of performance as they adjust for items which are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of our business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Per Share, basic and diluted for the periods indicated:

The figure was unchanged year over year. Total revenues of $771.6 million rose 11.1% year over year and beat the consensus mark of $726.2 million by 6.3%.
The results reflected solid leasing across outpatient medical and lab properties, along with stronger senior housing operations. Combined new and renewal lease executions totaled 1.6 million square feet, while total same-store adjusted net operating income (NOI) increased 1.8%.
DOC’s Leasing Activity Supports Portfolio DemandOutpatient medical leasing remained the largest contributor. New lease executions totaled 327,000 square feet, while renewal leases reached 916,000 square feet. Total outpatient medical occupancy improved 20 basis points (bps) sequentially to 90.7%.
Lab leasing also advanced, with 222,000 square feet of new leases and 159,000 square feet of renewal leases. Total lab occupancy increased 80 bps sequentially to 78.5%.

Senior housing was the standout, with same-store adjusted NOI rising 19.2% to $32.1 million. Occupancy in that portfolio increased 260 basis points to 88.6%.
DOC’s Segment Results Reflect Senior Housing GrowthOutpatient medical adjusted NOI slipped 1.8% to $198 million, while lab adjusted NOI was nearly flat at $142.6 million.
Senior housing adjusted NOI increased 25.4% to $45.9 million. Janus Living, Healthpeak’s senior housing spin-off, generated second-quarter revenues of $216 million, up 45%, while adjusted EBITDAre rose 34% to $79 million. Healthpeak owned a 73.6% equity interest in Janus Living as of June 30, 2026.
DOC’s Costs Rise With Expanded OperationsProperty operating expenses increased 20.6% year over year to $333.1 million. Depreciation and amortization rose to $283.4 million from $265.9 million, while general and administrative expenses increased to $22.5 million from $20.8 million.

BigBear.ai sází na ConductorOS, platformu pro řízení více dronů od různých výrobců jedním operátorem. Ve 2. čtvrtletí výnosy stouply o 13 % na 36,7 milionu USD a backlog o 9 % na 269,6 milionu USD.
Key Takeaways BigBear.ai is targeting multi-drone mission management with its vendor-agnostic ConductorOS platform.Second-quarter revenues rose 13% to $36.7 million, while backlog increased 9% to $269.6 million.A software-first approach could differentiate BigBear.ai from drone hardware rivals AeroVironment and Kratos. BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (BBAI - Free Report) is positioning itself to become a key player in AI-powered autonomous mission management, with multi-drone orchestration emerging as one of its most promising growth opportunities. The company's second-quarter 2026 update highlighted ConductorOS, an AI platform designed to enable a single operator to manage fleets of drones from multiple manufacturers. This capability addresses one of the military's biggest operational challenges — processing massive volumes of data while reducing operator workload. The company believes this technology aligns well with the rapidly expanding demand for autonomous defense systems.
The opportunity appears substantial. Management pointed to growing investments in autonomous warfare and counter-drone technologies, supported by rising geopolitical tensions and increasing defense modernization efforts. ConductorOS is designed to transform one operator into the command center for a multi-vendor drone fleet, making it relevant for surveillance, reconnaissance and mission coordination. These trends reinforce BigBear.ai's strategy of delivering mission-ready AI for complex defense environments rather than competing in broader enterprise AI markets.
The company's improving financial position provides additional support for this strategy. Second-quarter revenues increased 13% year over year to $36.7 million, gross margin expanded 781 basis points to 32.8%, backlog rose 9% from 2025-end to $269.6 million, and management reaffirmed its full-year revenue guidance of $135-$165 million. BigBear.ai also ended the quarter with roughly $410 million in cash and investments, giving it flexibility to invest in product development and pursue acquisitions that could strengthen its autonomous systems portfolio.
How BigBear.ai Compares With Its Closest Drone AI RivalsBigBear.ai competes with AeroVironment (AVAV - Free Report) and Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS - Free Report) in AI-enabled autonomous defense technologies, unmanned systems and mission software.
AeroVironment has established a strong position in tactical drones and loitering munitions, with deep relationships across the United States and allied defense agencies. However, AeroVironment primarily generates revenues from unmanned aircraft platforms, whereas BigBear.ai is differentiating itself through AI-driven mission software that can orchestrate fleets from multiple drone manufacturers using its ConductorOS platform. This vendor-agnostic approach could broaden adoption across diverse defense environments.
Kratos Defense is another important competitor with strengths in unmanned aerial systems, autonomous aircraft and defense technologies. While Kratos Defense has significant expertise in drone hardware and tactical platforms, BigBear.ai is concentrating on the software layer that enables a single operator to control multiple autonomous assets simultaneously while reducing cognitive workload. As military organizations increasingly emphasize interoperable, AI-powered mission management instead of standalone platforms, BigBear.ai's software-first strategy could provide a differentiated competitive advantage alongside AeroVironment and Kratos Defense.

IREN v červenci oznámila nové AI zakázky za 2,8 miliardy USD a zvýšila cíl ročního AI cloud run-rate výnosu na více než 4 miliardy USD. Zhruba 85 % nového cíle už má pod smlouvami.
IREN (IREN -4.80%) is worth about $15 billion as of this writing, with the stock around $41 after climbing another 4% on Tuesday. In July, the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud infrastructure company announced $2.8 billion in new customer contracts -- multi-year deals to supply AI developers with computing power. That's one announcement worth nearly a fifth of the entire company's market value.
These aren't small customers, either. IREN's customer list now includes Microsoft, Nvidia, and Perplexity, among other AI developers.
And yet shares would still have to climb about 85% just to get back to the $76.87 they touched within the past year. A company signing contracts this fast, valued this far below its own recent peak, is worth a closer look.
Image source: Getty Images.
A $4 billion run rate, mostly signed The July announcement did more than add contracts. Alongside the $2.8 billion in new deals, which span both bare-metal computing and managed cloud services, IREN raised its target for year-end AI cloud annualized run-rate revenue from $3.7 billion to more than $4 billion.
The detail that matters most, I think, is that about 85% of the new target was already under contract. After all, a revenue goal is easy to raise. Signed customers are not.
The capacity behind those commitments is scaling just as fast. A year ago, IREN had built about 3 megawatts of AI cloud capacity. It now has 480 megawatts being delivered in 2026, and it's targeting 1.2 gigawatts in 2027. That's a build-out of more than a hundredfold in about two years, for demanding customers, on committed timelines.
The company is also assembling more than raw computing power. On Tuesday, IREN completed its acquisition of Mirantis, a cloud software company serving more than 1,500 enterprise customers. Mirantis developed a software platform for managing AI workloads that works with Nvidia's software stack, and IREN says the deal has already played a part in several of its announced and prospective cloud contracts.
"Mirantis adds the software layer on top, turning infrastructure into a platform," co-CEO Daniel Roberts said in the announcement.

The income statement hasn't caught up yet Now for the sobering half. IREN's revenue over the trailing 12 months was $757 million. That's up 105% year over year -- and still less than a fifth of the run rate the company is targeting for year-end.
To be clear, the target is an annualized pace, not a promise of $4 billion of revenue this year. But the gap between $757 million of trailing revenue and a $4 billion run rate measures how much building and delivering still has to happen before the contracts become results.
That kind of expansion is enormously capital-intensive. Data centers and the graphics processing units (GPUs) that fill them cost billions of dollars, and IREN paid for Mirantis mostly with stock -- about 12.6 million newly issued shares, or about 3.5% of the company, plus about $40 million in cash and other consideration. Investors should probably expect more dilution, more debt, or both as the spending accelerates.
Concentration adds risk, too. A customer list of about 10 AI developers means a single delay or renegotiation could move the numbers meaningfully. And the AI cloud business is crowded with rivals (from the hyperscale giants to other fast-scaling specialists) competing for the same workloads.
Of course, the ratio is striking. Signed commitments approaching a fifth of the company's market value, with the run-rate target 85% contracted, are the sort of evidence that separates IREN from AI names running mostly on promise. If the company delivers, today's price could end up looking conservative.
But a contract is a promise to deliver, and delivery at this scale is the part IREN hasn't yet proven. The company signed up some of the most demanding customers in technology while multiplying its capacity a hundredfold, all at once. Plenty can go wrong between here and a $4 billion run rate.
Expect volatility either way. The stock has traded between $15.49 and $76.87 over the past year -- a range that says investors keep changing their minds about what this company is worth.
So I'm not buying yet. If the next couple of quarterly reports show AI cloud revenue landing on schedule, with the run rate climbing toward that $4 billion target as capacity comes online, I'd get interested. Until then, I'm watching.
Centrus ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšil tržby na 176,1 milionu USD, ale čistý zisk klesl na 16,8 milionu USD. Firma zároveň podepsala kontrakt za 900 milionů USD na obohacování vysokokvalitního nízkoobohaceného uranu (HALEU) s DOE.
Revenue of $176.1 million, compared to revenue of $154.5 million in Q2 2025 GAAP net income of $16.8 million compared to GAAP net income of $28.9 million in Q2 2025 Non-GAAP adjusted net income (1) of $38.7 million, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income(1) of $34.5 million in Q2 2025 Signed $900 million High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) Enrichment award contract with U.S. Department of Energy Grew contingent Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) and HALEU enrichment backlog to $3.0 billion Selected Geiger Brothers as construction contractor for major uranium enrichment plant expansion Signed first-of-a-kind, large-scale commercial HALEU supply agreement that potentially includes prepayments Raising full year 2026 hiring guidance in Piketon, Ohio Expecting completion of first new centrifuge in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, by year-end 2026 , /PRNewswire/ -- Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU) ("Centrus" or the "Company") today reported second quarter 2026 results. The Company reported net income of $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which is $0.85 (basic) and $0.77 (diluted) per common share. This translates to adjusted net income(1) of $38.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which is adjusted EPS(1) of $1.95 (basic) and $1.77 (diluted) per common share.
"This was another strong quarter of financial and operational progress for Centrus that included a number of commercial wins for our future enrichment business as we capitalize on strong industry tailwinds and our operational momentum," said Centrus Energy President and CEO Amir Vexler.
"Operationally we continued on full-execution mode for our centrifuge manufacturing and expansion programs. Our strategy includes risk-reducing measures like locking in a majority of the suppliers deemed critical with larger commitments to help insulate the project from potential price fluctuations. Simultaneously, we further strengthened our financial position by signing our HALEU award while securing possible prepayments from offtakers. Our progress has allowed us to announce that our first new centrifuge will be competed in Oak Ridge before the end of the year."
"In general, we continue to see healthy demand momentum with consistent constrained supply, resulting in upward pressure on SWU prices. Our operational progress coupled with strong demand signals across all our end-markets has provided Centrus with strong backlog growth and momentum, and we look forward to further capitalizing on our position as the only publicly-traded, proven enricher in the market."

Financial Results
Centrus generated total revenue of $176.1 million and $154.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $21.6 million (or 14%).
Revenue from the LEU segment was $153.4 million and $125.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $27.7 million (or 22%). The Company had uranium revenue of $53.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Separative work units (SWU) revenue decreased by $25.7 million as a result of a 23% decrease in the volume of SWU sold, partially offset by a 3% increase in the average price of SWU sold.
Revenue from the Technical Solutions segment was $22.7 million and $28.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $6.1 million (or 21%). The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a $5.9 million decrease in revenue generated by the HALEU production contract with the Department of Energy ("DOE") signed in 2022 ("HALEU Operation Contract"), while the remaining change was related to other contracts. Revenue from the HALEU Operation Contract is recorded on a cost-plus-incentive-fee basis and includes a target fee for Phases 2 and 3 of the contract.
Cost of sales for the LEU segment was $101.8 million and $75.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $26.8 million (or 36%). Uranium costs increased primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of uranium sold. SWU costs decreased as a result of a 23% decrease in the volume of SWU sold, partially offset by a 13% increase in the average unit cost of SWU sold.
Cost of sales for the Technical Solutions segment was $24.4 million and $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $1.2 million (or 5%). The decrease was primarily attributable to an $1.9 million decrease in costs incurred under the HALEU Operation Contract, while the remaining change was generally attributable to other contracts.
The Company recognized gross profit of $49.9 million and $53.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $4.0 million (or 7%).
Gross profit for the LEU segment was $51.6 million and $50.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $0.9 million (or 2%). LEU customers generally have multi-year contracts that carry annual purchase commitments, not quarterly commitments. The gross profit in our LEU business varies based upon the timing of those contracts. The pricing applied to deliveries varies depending upon the market conditions at the time the contract was signed. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to the change in the composition of contracts quarter over quarter.
Gross profit (loss) for the Technical Solutions segment was a loss of $1.7 million and profit of $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $4.9 million (or 153%). The decrease was primarily attributable to the HALEU Operation Contract.
Net income was $16.8 million and $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $12.1 million (or 42%). The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in selling general, and administrative costs of $12.8 million (driven by the $17.2 million increase in stock-compensation expense related to non-employee tax withholdings of RSUs), an increase in advanced technology costs of $7.5 million and a decrease in gross profit of $4.0 million. This was partially offset by an increase of $8.3 million in investment income and a decrease of $3.7 million in income tax expense.
Backlog
The Company's backlog across both segments is $4.5 billion as of June 30, 2026 and extends to 2040. Our LEU segment backlog as of June 30, 2026 is approximately $3.7 billion. The LEU backlog is the estimated aggregate dollar amount of revenue for future SWU and uranium deliveries primarily under medium and long-term contracts with fixed commitments and approximately $3.0 billion in contingent LEU and HALEU sales commitments, a $2.4 billion of which are under definitive agreements, in support of potential construction of LEU and HALEU production capacity at the Piketon, Ohio facility. The contingent sales commitments tend to relate to achievement of operational milestones. Our Technical Solutions segment backlog is approximately $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2026, and includes both funded amounts (services for which funding has been both authorized and appropriated by the customer), unfunded amounts (services for which funding has not been appropriated), and unexercised options. The current DOE budget proposed for fiscal year 2027 does not include further funding for the operation of the HALEU cascade under the HALEU Operation Contract, which represents approximately $0.8 billion of the Technical Solutions backlog as of June 30, 2026. Separately, DOE has communicated that it does not currently intend to exercise further options under the HALEU Operation Contract.
2026 Outlook
The Company is updating some of its financial and operational guidance for the full year 2026 based on information available to the Company at the time of this release.
Financial 2026 Outlook
For the full year 2026, on a consolidated basis, Centrus expects:
Total revenue to be in the range of $450 million to $500 million Total capital deployment to be in the range of $350 million to $500 million, driven by increased investment in the Company's industrial build out related to its centrifuge manufacturing Operational 2026 Outlook
For the full year 2026, on a consolidated basis, Centrus expects to:
Finalize contracts with all partners identified as critical to its industrial build out Hire at least 100 net new employees for its Oak Ridge, Tennessee, facility Hire at least 175 net new employees for its Piketon, Ohio, facility up from 100 net new employee hires Release a Certified for Construction package Complete its first centrifuge in Oak Ridge, Tennessee The Company's 2026 guidance is subject to a number of assumptions and uncertainties that could affect results either positively or negatively. Variations from these expectations could cause differences between this guidance and the ultimate results. This includes the assumption of no significant change in restrictions in our ability to receive and sell Russian LEU or other uranium products, no significant economic disruptions or downturns, the successful implementation of our planned expansion projects, and that current business operations will continue on an ongoing basis.

NON-GAAP ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME, ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND
ADJUSTED NET INCOME PER SHARE RECONCILIATION TABLE
The Company measures Operating Income, Net Income and Net Income per Share both on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis ("Adjusted Operating Income", "Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted Net Income per Share") to exclude short-term, non-capitalizable costs related to the expansion of our operations in Piketon, Ohio and Oak Ridge, Tennessee to scale up uranium enrichment operations ("Growth Costs") and stock-based compensation. Growth Costs relate to the initial phase of our expansion projects (e.g. manufacturing readiness and the training and onboarding of new employees) and are included as Advanced Technology Costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company expects to stop expensing Growth Costs as costs related to our expansion projects become capitalizable. We incur expense related to stock-based compensation which are included as Selling, General and Administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
We believe Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional understanding of the Company's overall financial performance as well as its strategic financial planning analysis and period-to-period comparability. These metrics are useful to investors because they reflect how management evaluates the Company's ongoing operating performance from period-to-period after removing certain transactions and activities that affect comparability of the metrics and are not reflective of the Company's core operations.
Our calculation of Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per Share may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted Operating Income, a reconciliation of the net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted Net Income, and a reconciliation of the net income per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted Net Income Per Share, for each of the periods indicated:

TeraWulf ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšil tržby na 44,8 mil. USD, hlavně díky pronájmu HPC, který vzrostl mezikvartálně o 52 % na 31,9 mil. USD. Po čtvrtletí podepsal 20letý pronájem s Anthropic za zhruba 401 MW a přibližně 19 mld. USD smluvních tržeb.
Texas Power Play: Hut 8 Sparks a $9.8B AI Infrastructure DealTeraWulf NASDAQ: WULF said its second-quarter results reflected growing high-performance computing, or HPC, lease revenue as additional capacity came online at its Lake Mariner campus, alongside a broader expansion strategy that includes a major Anthropic lease in Kentucky, the acquisition of the Muskie Data Campus and a planned sale of its interest in the Abernathy joint venture.
Revenue totaled $44.8 million in the second quarter, up from $34.0 million in the first quarter. HPC lease revenue rose 52% sequentially to $31.9 million and accounted for about 71% of total revenue, according to Chief Financial Officer Patrick Fleury.

IREN’s $2.8 Billion AI Contract Haul Changes the Stock’s StoryThe company reported a GAAP net loss attributable to TeraWulf of $939.9 million, compared with a $427.6 million loss in the prior quarter. Fleury said the increase was primarily driven by a $755.7 million non-cash loss from the change in fair value of Google warrants, reflecting an increase in TeraWulf’s stock price. The adjustment had no impact on liquidity, he said. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was negative $18.3 million, versus negative $4.1 million in the first quarter, as the company incurred pre-revenue operating and development costs ahead of further HPC capacity deliveries.
Lake Mariner Capacity Moves Into Service Chairman and CEO Paul Prager said the company completed its CB-3 building at Lake Mariner, bringing total revenue-generating critical IT capacity at the campus to 102 megawatts as of early July. The completion also satisfied conditions for $600 million of Google credit support for Fluidstack’s lease obligations to become effective.
How TeraWulf’s Anthropic Deal Booted Up a $19B AI EmpireChief Technology Officer Nazar Khan said the first CB-4 data hall was in Level 2 commissioning and was expected to enter Level 3 commissioning in mid-August. TeraWulf expects the first CB-4 data hall to reach its contractual delivery milestone and begin generating lease revenue in late September. The first CB-5 data hall is expected to begin energizing in very early January.
Khan said electrical labor availability and customer-driven design optimization had been the most significant execution variables. TeraWulf added a second electrical contractor and scaled its workforce to support roughly 1,000 electricians at peak staffing levels.
Fluidstack lease amendments executed in early July increased contracted capacity at both CB-4 and CB-5 from 162 MW to 168 MW. Fleury said TeraWulf will contribute about $150 million for tenant fit-out costs incurred through June 30, 2026, in exchange for more than $300 million of incremental lease revenue over the initial 10-year term. Including the expanded contracted capacity, the amendments are expected to add more than $500 million of lease revenue over the initial lease terms.
TeraWulf’s reported HPC leasing segment profit margin was approximately 28% during the quarter. Fleury said that figure included tenant fit-out revenue and costs, $6.8 million of pre-revenue operating costs at WULF Compute and $6.0 million of development costs at uncontracted sites. Excluding those items, the segment margin was approximately 80%, compared with the company’s long-term target of about 85%.
Kentucky Expansion Includes Anthropic Lease Following the quarter’s end, TeraWulf signed a 20-year lease with Anthropic for approximately 401 MW of critical IT capacity at the Justified Data Campus in Hawesville, Kentucky. Prager said the agreement represents approximately $19 billion in contracted revenue during the initial lease term and expands the company’s relationship with Anthropic.
The company also acquired the Muskie Data Campus in Eastern Kentucky, a gigawatt-scale development site located in an industrial park. The campus is being developed with Kentucky Power, an American Electric Power company, under electric service arrangements governed by a Kentucky Public Service Commission-approved data-center tariff.
Kentucky Power is expected to build a new 345-kilovolt substation connected to AEP’s existing 765-kilovolt transmission system, with initial electric service expected in the fourth quarter of 2028. TeraWulf said it is increasingly optimistic that Muskie could eventually expand to as much as 2 GW, and management said commercialization discussions were active with prospective customers.
Management reiterated its target of contracting an incremental 250 MW to 500 MW of critical IT capacity annually. Khan said that range reflects not only customer demand but also the capital, equipment and labor required to execute projects, noting that a project at the high end of the range can require nearly $5 billion of total capital.
Abernathy Sale and Chesapeake Progress TeraWulf agreed after quarter-end to sell its entire 50.1% interest in the Abernathy joint venture for approximately $530 million. Fleury said the transaction represents a 20% internal rate of return on TeraWulf’s original investment. The company received an initial $250 million payment in July, expects another $150 million on or before Dec. 31, 2026, and expects approximately $130 million on or before April 30, 2027, subject to transaction terms.
Prager said selling the investment would allow TeraWulf to focus capital and management attention on large-scale projects where it controls the site, power infrastructure, development process and customer relationship.
Separately, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on July 29 authorized TeraWulf’s proposed acquisition of the Morgantown site, a key regulatory condition toward closing the Chesapeake transaction. The site includes approximately 210 MW of existing grid-connected generation and could potentially support an integrated generation, storage and data-center campus with up to 1 GW of data-center capacity, subject to remaining closing conditions and required consents.
Liquidity and Capital Outlook Cash and restricted cash totaled approximately $3.0 billion at June 30. Parent-level unrestricted cash was approximately $1.2 billion at quarter-end and increased to about $1.45 billion after the initial Abernathy payment.
At WULF Compute, gross cash totaled approximately $1.9 billion, or about $1.5 billion after accounting for debt service reserves and interest-during-construction accounts. The company had completed approximately $2.3 billion of project capital expenditures at Lake Mariner, with about $1.7 billion remaining; roughly two-thirds of the remaining spending is committed.
TeraWulf now estimates total WULF Compute project costs of approximately $9.1 million per critical IT MW, within its original $8 million to $10 million per-MW guidance range. Fleury said the updated estimate incorporates electrical labor constraints and evolving customer equipment and operational requirements.
The company said existing liquidity and expected Abernathy proceeds should fund its remaining Lake Mariner commitments, planned Muskie equity investment and letter-of-credit needs, the proposed Chesapeake acquisition and other sites being pursued without accessing equity capital markets. Management said it expects to use project-level financing for future development, while maintaining what Fleury described as conservative leverage and a healthy equity layer.

Microchip Technology představí architekturu úložiště PCIe Gen 6 s Micron 9650 NVMe SSD. Řešení má vyšší propustnost, nižší latenci a lepší škálování pro AI, HPC a cloud.
Key Takeaways Microchip will showcase an end-to-end PCIe Gen 6 storage architecture with Micron's 9650 NVMe SSDs.The platform offers higher bandwidth, lower latency and scalable connectivity for AI, HPC and cloud workloads.Microchip's broader portfolio may shorten development cycles and improve interoperability. Microchip Technology (MCHP - Free Report) announced on Tuesday (Aug. 4) that it will showcase an end-to-end PCIe Gen 6 storage architecture, which combines its Switchtec PCIe Gen 6 switches with Micron’s (MU - Free Report) 9650 NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs). The architecture will strengthen MCHP’s prospects in the rapidly expanding AI and enterprise data-center market. The collaboration with Micron expands MCHP’s opportunity across hyperscalers, enterprise-server manufacturers, storage vendors and semiconductor companies building CPU- and GPU-based platforms. It also strengthens Microchip’s competitive prowess against Broadcom (AVGO - Free Report) and Astera Labs (ALAB - Free Report) .
The combination of Microchip’s Switchtec PCIe Gen 6 switches with Micron’s high-performance 9650 NVMe SSDs offers greater bandwidth, lower latency and scalable storage connectivity for AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud workloads. Micron’s 9650 is positioned as the first PCIe Gen 6 data-center SSD and offers as much as twice the performance of PCIe Gen 5 drives. Pairing these drives with MCHP’s Switchtec switches allows multiple high-speed storage devices to connect efficiently with processors, accelerators and memory resources. This is particularly relevant in disaggregated computing architectures, where data must move rapidly among increasingly distributed compute and storage components.
The combination also highlights the performance advantages of Microchip’s latest Switchtec platform. The company’s PCIe Gen 6 switches are manufactured using a 3-nanometer process, support configurations of up to 160 lanes and are designed to deliver lower power consumption in high-density AI systems. Microchip offers Switchtec switches along with storage controllers, memory controllers, retimers, power-management devices and timing products, which reflects the company’s focus on offering a broader system-level solution rather than competing with a stand-alone switching component.
This broader portfolio could give Microchip an important competitive advantage. Customers adopting PCIe Gen 6 must address switching, signal integrity, storage control, timing, power and management-software requirements simultaneously. MCHP can potentially supply several of these elements, supported by its ChipLink tools, unified management software and cross-product visibility. Such integration can shorten customer development cycles, improve interoperability and raise the amount of Microchip content in each platform. It also supports MCHP’s Total System Solutions strategy, under which an anchor-product design win can lead to the attachment of several complementary Microchip products.
MCHP Faces Tough CompetitionBroadcom competes with Microchip in PCIe switches, PCIe retimers, networking, and storage connectivity, while Astera Labs offers PCIe Gen 6 fabric switches, PCIe retimers and CXL memory connectivity.
Broadcom is rapidly strengthening its position across AI infrastructure, creating competitive pressure for Microchip in high-performance data centers. The company expects AI semiconductor revenue to reach $56 billion in FY2026, up approximately 180% year over year, with revenue projected to exceed $100 billion in FY2027, driven by custom AI accelerators (XPUs) and networking solutions for six major hyperscale AI customers.
Astera Labs’ close alignment with hyperscale cloud providers and GPU platform roadmaps position it to capture an increasing share of next-generation AI server designs. One of the company's biggest competitive strengths is its Scorpio AI Fabric Switch portfolio. Astera Labs said Scorpio X-Series has entered volume production and is expected to become its largest product family in the third quarter, one quarter earlier than previously expected. The company is already shipping multiple Scorpio X configurations into hyperscale AI platforms and expects deployments to expand across additional customers by year-end.

Meta spustila nového kódovacího agenta Muse Code, kterým chce konkurovat Anthropicu a OpenAI. Nástroj je zatím v preview a firma ho nabízí přes pay-as-you-go.
Meta is rolling out its first coding agent called Muse Code as the company tries to challenge leading AI labs Anthropic and OpenAI.
Muse Code is latest major release from AI chief Alexandr Wang, who leads Meta Superintelligence Labs and oversees foundation model development. Wang joined in June of last year as the centerpiece of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's effort to revamp his company's flailing artificial intelligence strategy.
"You can install it with one command and then use it to take on complete software engineering tasks across a wide variety of use cases, planning changes, writing code, validating the results," Wang said in an interview on Wednesday.
The new coding agent represents another way Zuckerberg aims to generate revenue from AI as his company continues investing heavily into data centers and related computing infrastructure. The company's shares tumbled last week after Meta issued a light revenue forecast and revealed dwindling free cash flow in the second quarter.
The new tool, like Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex assistants, makes it easier for people to build apps within a single user interface while managing fleets of AI-powered digital agents that can help underpin the software development process.
Muse Code, available in a preview version, works alongside the company's latest AI model, Muse Spark 1.2. Wang declined to share user statistics related to the company's Muse Spark AI models, but said "adoption has been exciting and strong."
The latest Muse Spark model was developed and trained alongside Muse Code, which Wang said improves the overall coding performance.
Developers can access Muse Code through a pay-as-you-go option. Wang said the agent has "a contributor tier that gets you in at a significantly lower cost," which he characterizes as being "more than 10 times cheaper than than even the pay-as-you-go tier."
Meta is differentiating its new AI coding tool and Muse Spark family of models by price rather than capabilities when compared to popular offerings from from Anthropic and OpenAI, Wang said.
Underpinning Muse Code is a so-called harness, which lets developers manage AI models, tailored for coding projects.
Wang said users will be able to access and pay for Muse Code on the same Meta developer page that hosts the company's Muse Spark AI model API. Meta's newer AI model will also be available on the OpenRouter platform that hosts popular AI models like the so-called open-weight AI models from Chinese labs like DeepSeek and Z.ai.
Wang said Meta is "also starting to accept requests for zero-data retention," meaning the company wouldn't retain developer data to improve models. He said it represents "a big enterprise feature that is important for folks." Meta gets 98% of its revenue from online ads, a market it dominates by targeting consumers based on user data.
WATCH: I was shocked and disappointed Meta didn't seem to have a plan, says Jim Cramer.
Uber oznámil, že volný peněžní tok za posledních dvanáct měsíců poprvé přesáhl 10 miliard USD, což mu dává prostor investovat do robotaxi. Firma ale podle Reuters bude v příštích čtyřech až pěti letech potřebovat miliardy USD na podporu autonomních partnerů.
From a stock price perspective, Uber Technologies (UBER -5.29%) has struggled this year. Shares are down 20% year-to-date.
From a business perspective, however, things seem to be going quite well. The company reported earnings on Aug. 5, and many experts were impressed by the results. Gross bookings surged 22% year-over-year. The number of trips, meanwhile, grew by 18%, suggesting Uber has been able to flex some pricing power.
Most impressively, Uber was able to post roughly $2 billion in operating income, up 40% versus the year prior. That income translated to diluted earnings per share of $1.17. Uber struggled to achieve profitability in its early years. But the company has been consistently profitable over the last two years.
Uber’s core business isn’t very capital intensive. Its drivers are typically the ones purchasing and maintaining their equipment. That has allowed higher earnings to translate into higher cash flows.
“[T]railing twelve-month free cash flow exceeded $10 billion for the first time in Uber’s history,” Uber announced, “giving us the flexibility to both invest for the future and pursue strategic opportunities, while continuing to reduce our share count.”
Where exactly will Uber be investing its new cash? There’s one obvious answer: robotaxis.

Can Uber dominate the robotaxi market?I have long been a fan of Tesla’s (TSLA -1.77%) robotaxi ambitions. A growing number of experts believe that robotaxis will be a multi-trillion-dollar market. Some even believe the global market will one day be worth $10 trillion. Tesla not only has impressive access to capital, but it also has the ability to manufacture its own self-driving vehicles.
For now, Uber does not share all of these advantages. While profitable with positive cash flows, Uber is just 13% the size of Tesla That limits its relative ability to raise capital. Uber also doesn’t have the ability to produce its own vehicles. That’s why it has forged deals with the likes of Lucid Group (LCID -13.88%) and Rivian (RIVN -1.27%), companies that have committed to delivering tens of thousands of vehicles to help power Uber’s future robotaxi fleet.

Make no mistake, Uber is well-positioned to compete in the robotaxi market long term. The company has invested aggressively to shore up its weaknesses.
During the latest earnings call, management stressed that it would continue taking direct equity positions in key suppliers, shoring up their balance sheets to ensure those suppliers not only stay in business, but produce products for the benefit of Uber’s robotaxi roadmap.
Unlike Uber’s legacy business, however, robotaxis are already proving to be capital intensive. “Uber would need billions of dollars over the next four to five years to support autonomous-driving partners as they scale,” a report from Reuters warns. Shares actually fell in value after Uber reported earnings on Aug. 5, largely due to investor concerns regarding capital allocation.
Uber is clearly committed to pursuing robotaxis. And it’s not hard to understand why. If autonomous vehicles become the norm, ride-sharing services would experience a sudden transformation. If Uber lacks a robotaxi fleet, its ability to compete long-term would suffer.
With production capabilities already paid for and online, Tesla clearly has the advantage in pursuing robotaxis. But Tesla’s market cap is also considerably higher. The choice for investors here is simple: invest in the leader at a premium, or bet on the laggard trading at a much lower valuation.
Uber vidí v dronech zásadní posun pro doručování a CEO Khosrowshahi říká, že zkrácení rozvozu jídla na 10 až 15 minut by bylo „ještě magičtější“ než dnešních 30 minut.
“What I am increasingly optimistic about are the potential with drones,” Khosrowshahi said on Uber’s second-quarter earnings call.
Cutting food delivery times from roughly 30 minutes today to as little as 10 to 15 minutes could fundamentally change the customer experience, he argues.
Why Uber Is Looking UpUber has spent the past year expanding partnerships across robotaxis and sidewalk delivery robots as well as drone delivery company Flytrex.
“Drone delivery can cut the timing of delivery significantly,” Khosrowshahi said, acknowledging that it will take time before costs become sustainable. Even so, he believes the improvement in speed could make the technology compelling for consumers.
“Already… ordering dinner and getting it delivered to your home in 30 minutes is a magical experience,” he added. “We think in 15 minutes—it’s going to be, you know, 10 to 15 minutes—is going to be an even more magical experience.”
Uber’s Autonomous Strategy Goes Beyond Self-Driving Cars Uber is already working with partners including Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:SERV) and Cartken on sidewalk delivery robots. Drones represent the next frontier for faster deliveries.
“While we’re on the sidewalks now as it relates to our delivery business, we’re looking forward to getting in the air with some of the partners out there,” Khosrowshahi said.
The comments also underscore that Uber’s autonomous strategy is broader than self-driving cars.
Much of the company’s recent autonomous vehicle narrative has centered on partnerships with companies including Waymo, Zoox, Wayve and Nuro. But management is increasingly describing autonomy as an ecosystem that spans robotaxis, delivery robots and aerial drones, with Uber serving as the platform connecting those technologies to consumers.
For investors, the takeaway is that Uber’s automation strategy isn’t solely about replacing drivers. The company also sees faster deliveries as a meaningful opportunity to improve the customer experience—and Khosrowshahi believes reducing delivery times to 10 to 15 minutes could be one of the clearest examples of that vision coming to life.

Sam Altman řekl, že AI vstoupila do „singularity“, což může dál zvýšit poptávku po hardwaru a softwarových produktech Nvidia a cloudových a softwarových produktech Microsoftu. Nvidia už těží z růstu datových center, zatímco Microsoft zrychluje růst Azure a Copilotu.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says artificial intelligence has entered the "singularity," a stage where AI progress could accelerate rapidly.
While that description can prove premature, increasingly capable models could still boost demand for Nvidia's (NVDA +3.44%) AI-optimized hardware and software offerings and Microsoft's (MSFT -1.09%) cloud and software products.
Image source: Getty Images.
On the Relentless podcast, Sam Altman said, "We're now, like, in the singularity." In its traditional sense, the singularity is the point in time when AI begins creating increasingly intelligent systems so quickly that progress becomes difficult for humans to predict or control.
Altman appears to be using "singularity" more broadly. Current AI can write code, find security flaws, and help researchers improve models. But there is no public evidence that it can independently design, train, and deploy increasingly capable successor systems.
OpenAI still treats AI self-improvement as an advanced capability that models must be tested for, rather than something they can already do reliably. Anthropic treats fully automated AI research and rapid acceleration in AI development as risks to monitor rather than established milestones.
Nvidia could win before the singularity arrives More capable AI models can increase the computing needed both to build them and to run them. This, in turn, drives demand for advanced processing and networking chips and high bandwidth memory.

Nvidia is already benefiting from this trend. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027 (ending April 26, 2026), data center revenue rose 92% year over year to $75.2 billion. The company claimed that its new Dynamo software can help Blackwell chips process AI requests up to 7 times faster. The company's next-generation Vera Rubin systems are also moving into full production to run AI agents that handle longer and more complex tasks.
While increasing efficiency can limit Nvidia's growth by requiring fewer chips, lower costs could encourage much wider use of AI agents and reasoning models. Hence, Nvidia will benefit only if overall AI usage grows faster than the pace at which computing becomes more efficient. Custom chips from Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon add another competitive risk.
Microsoft can also turn stronger AI into revenue Microsoft can monetize stronger AI through Azure cloud infrastructure, its stake in OpenAI, and Microsoft 365 Copilot.

The AI business is already gaining traction. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending June 30, 2026), Azure and other cloud services revenue rose 43% year over year. Microsoft 365 Copilot also surpassed 30 million paid users.
Microsoft does not own OpenAI, but is a primary cloud partner and a major shareholder. Microsoft will also receive a share of OpenAI's revenue through 2030 and can use its models and products under a nonexclusive license through 2032.
Microsoft, however, must balance the cost of supporting its AI growth. The company spent $35.8 billion on property, plant, and equipment expenses in the fourth quarter, more than double the amount in the same quarter of the prior year. Hence, the company needs to generate enough revenue to cover these rising infrastructure costs and deliver attractive returns.
Which stock benefits more? Nvidia and Microsoft are trading at 15.6 times and 20.3 times their forward earnings, respectively.
Nvidia looks more attractive today, provided overall AI usage continues to grow faster than improvements in computing efficiency and competition from custom chips.
UBS čeká, že druhé čtvrtletí Walmartu bude solidní, i když růst srovnatelných tržeb v USA zpomalí na zhruba 3,5 %. Banka vidí hlavní příběh v dlouhodobé síle zisků, ne v jednom kvartálu.
Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT, XETRA:WMT)'s upcoming second quarter earnings report could act as a positive catalyst for the stock despite expectations for slower comparable sales growth, according to UBS analysts, which argued that investors are focusing too heavily on a single metric rather than the retailer's longer-term earnings potential.
UBS wrote that expectations heading into the report appear "balanced, perhaps even subdued," with the market looking for roughly 3.5% comparable sales growth at Walmart US, down from 4.1% in the first quarter.
The firm noted that Walmart's valuation has also declined and investor positioning is less crowded than ahead of recent earnings reports, creating what it views as one of the company's more attractive setups in recent quarters.
The analysts argued that any moderation in reported comparable sales growth is likely to reflect temporary factors rather than deterioration in Walmart's business.
"In many respects, this quarter is a classic example of the market mistaking deceleration for deterioration," UBS wrote.
The firm expects headwinds in Walmart's Health & Wellness segment, including the impact of Maximum Fair Pricing legislation and slowing GLP-1 demand, to weigh on overall comparable sales by around 100 basis points in the second quarter. UBS said those pressures are masking continued strength in the retailer's core grocery and general merchandise businesses, which account for roughly 83% of sales.
UBS expects Walmart to continue gaining market share in key categories while benefiting from investments in value, convenience and faster delivery. The analysts also said some moderation in general merchandise reflects lower pricing growth as tariff-related inflation eases rather than weakening consumer demand.
Looking beyond quarterly sales, UBS maintained that Walmart's long-term investment case remains supported by productivity initiatives, supply chain modernization, automation and the expansion of higher-margin businesses.
The firm forecasts Walmart's alternative revenue streams will grow from about $21 billion in 2025 to $28 billion in 2026 and $36 billion in 2027, providing additional earnings growth and greater flexibility to invest in pricing and customer acquisition while maintaining profitability.
UBS also expects Walmart to reaffirm its full-year guidance for constant-currency sales growth of 3.5% to 4.5% and adjusted earnings per share of $2.75 to $2.85.
The analysts noted that investor expectations for earnings have moderated since the start of the year and are now closer to the upper end of management's guidance range, which they believe could make it easier for the company to meet or exceed market expectations.
Looking to the second half of the year, UBS expects Walmart's expanded price rollbacks, persistent inflation and continued e-commerce growth to support sales trends in the third and fourth quarters.
"The most important takeaway from Q2 may be that Walmart's investment case is becoming less dependent on a single quarter's comp and increasingly tied to the durability of its earnings power," UBS wrote.
"If that proves correct, then a quarter that appears merely solid on the surface could ultimately reinforce why Walmart remains one of the highest-quality long-duration growth stories in retail."
UBS shares traded hands at $111 on Wednesday, flat this year.

Cisco má podle UBS oznámit výsledky nad odhady díky silnější poptávce po AI infrastruktuře. Očekávají se tržby ze síťových služeb nad 9,6 miliardy USD a EPS 1,19 USD.
Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CSCO, XETRA:CIS) is set to report quarterly results after the market close on August 12, with UBS expecting the networking equipment maker to deliver revenue and earnings above consensus estimates, supported by accelerating demand for AI infrastructure and resilient campus networking spending.
UBS wrote that industry checks and commentary from hyperscale cloud providers and neocloud companies indicate demand for AI infrastructure strengthened over the past three months, supporting upside to both networking revenue and product orders in the July quarter.
The analysts expect networking revenue to exceed its forecast of $9.6 billion, which would represent 26% year-over-year growth, while product orders could also outperform expectations following strong demand for AI-related systems and optical products. UBS currently forecasts product order growth of 29% for the quarter after a 35% increase in the prior quarter.
The firm noted that strength in pluggables and networking systems, following more than $1 billion of Acacia orders last quarter, could provide an additional boost to orders.
While UBS sees revenue skewing to the upside, it expects elevated component costs to limit gross margin expansion to around 66%. Even so, the brokerage believes adjusted earnings per share could reach $1.19, above its own estimate of $1.16 and the Visible Alpha consensus of $1.17.
Looking ahead, UBS expects Cisco's guidance for the October quarter to come in above its current forecasts. The brokerage estimates October-quarter revenue of $16.24 billion, but believes the company could guide to a range of $16.6 billion to $16.8 billion, reflecting roughly 12% year-over-year growth as revenue from recent AI-related hyperscaler design wins becomes more heavily weighted toward the second half.
UBS also expects Cisco to issue a fiscal 2027 revenue outlook of $68 billion to $69 billion, supported by more than $2 billion of incremental AI-related revenue, taking total AI revenue above $6 billion. The brokerage forecasts fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings guidance of $4.78 to $4.84 per share, broadly in line with consensus expectations.
The firm said demand has improved across Cisco's business, with product orders strengthening in both AI infrastructure and campus networking. Although it expects order growth to moderate from the previous quarter due to tougher comparisons and the timing of hyperscaler deployments, UBS said recent industry checks remain positive.
UBS maintained a $132 price target on Cisco, above current levels of about $122, arguing the company's premium valuation is supported by its AI networking, silicon and optical portfolio, as well as durable demand for campus networking equipment. The firm added that a recovery in the company's security business during fiscal 2027 could provide an additional tailwind.
Fluid za první polovinu roku vykázal 3,6 mld. USD v celkové velikosti trhu, 1,6 mld. USD v aktivních půjčkách a 18,1 mld. USD v objemu obchodů. Tržby za čtvrtletí dosáhly zhruba 1,8 mil. USD.
Fluid H1 2026 RecapH1 was a half of real scale for Fluid — across metrics, product, and ecosystem reach.Top-level metricsFluid closed the first half of the year with $3.6B in total market size, $1.6B in active loans, and $18.1B in trading volume: #4 among lending protocols across all chains, and #2 DEX on Ethereum.
FinancialsRevenue reached ~$1.8M for the quarter, per Token Terminal. Fees generated totaled ~$9.5M, driven by asset price movement, DEX volatility, and leverage demand. About $FLUID Reserve and Buybacks continued at ~1.3% of supply.
Fluid's core productsFluid's five products all draw from one Fluid Liquidity Layer — a single Liquidity Layer powering all finance:
Fluid Lend — Deposit and earn.
Fluid Vaults — Borrow against collateral, up to 95% LTV, the highest in DeFi — made possible by an advanced liquidation engine that also enables partial liquidations to keep positions safe.
Fluid DEX — With Smart Collateral + Smart Debt — deep trading liquidity with new financial primitives.
Fluid Lite — Automated, one-click yield strategies for ETH and fixed interest USD yield.
Fluid LaaS — The most efficient way to bootstrap liquidity onchain for institutions, asset issuers, and RWAs — for a fraction of the cost. Isolated capital — not shared Liquidity Layer funds.
Built with Fluid TechnologyBeyond Fluid's own products, the same Liquidity Layer powers what partners build on top of it:
Curated Markets — Isolated, risk-curated markets, built and owned by partners on Fluid's rails. Like Bitwise's institutional vault.
Jupiter Lend (Solana) — Fluid Powered, by Jupiter Exchange.
Venus Flux (BNB Chain) — Fluid-powered, by Venus Protocol.
Where the Liquidity Layer is finding product-market fitFluid's capital efficiency has found real product-market fit as the cheapest way for stablecoin, RWA, and yield-bearing asset issuers to bootstrap liquidity and grow — built on three pillars: liquidity, utility, and distribution across all chains, including integration into Jupiter, the largest user base in crypto.
RWA-backed loans crossed ~$300M this quarter.
Liquidity-as-a-ServiceAn end-to-end managed service to bootstrap onchain liquidity — up to $500M in DEX liquidity per facility, with Fluid sourcing the entire balance sheet and managing the full position across all EVM chains and Solana. The asset issuer gets liquidity without operational lift. USD Lite depositors earn fixed income. Fluid earns the excess fee as protocol revenue. LaaS has already closed more than $100M in commitments.
Some of our first partners include:
USDai: a $100M facility supporting DEX liquidity for $USDai and $sUSDai
Huma Finance: DEX liquidity for $PST
Ecosystem expansionSolana now makes up roughly half of Fluid's total TVL. Two non-EVM ecosystem expansions are in the pipeline, including bringing Sui its first institutional credit market.
The white-label model continues to compound: Jupiter Lend, powered by Fluid, is now a $2B market. Bitwise × Ethena launched as the first third-party risk curator on Fluid, a $500M market. Venus Flux extended Fluid's engine into the BNB ecosystem.
Resilience, tested and rebuiltOn March 22nd, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Resolv's signing infrastructure, minting approximately $80M of uncollateralized USR. Fluid carried roughly $100M of exposure to the asset. The resulting shortfall — about $9.7M, or roughly 10% of total exposure — was covered directly from the DAO treasury. Every lender was made whole, there’s no users' funds lost.
The response reshaped the quarter's engineering priorities:
Asset Listing Framework extended due diligence into offchain and cross-chain infrastructure, with granular asset documentation now published for every listing.
Black-swan infrastructure cut the time to react to market events down to minutes.
Granular limits are designed to shrink future shortfalls well below the ~10% seen during the Resolv incident.
Oracle v2 references multiple independent data points and can restrict risk-increasing actions — like borrowing or withdrawing — against a depegged asset, while still permitting actions that reduce risk, like repaying or depositing.
What's nextThe introduction of AGI3 — a proposed strategic partnership to bring regulated institutional capital onchain through a permissioned instance of Fluid, backed by Kinetic Group. That proposal is still live for DAO review, but it sets the direction for where Q3 has already gone.
Already underway in Q3
A full rebrand. New identity, new visual system, and a sharper articulation of what Fluid actually is: one Liquidity Layer powering apps, vaults, assets, and funds.
AGI3. The proposal moved from draft to live governance forum post, now open for community review and a DAO vote.
What's coming next
Solana DEX v1 — soon.
DEX v2 — development complete. Learn more about what's coming.
Fixed-Rate Borrowing — select any loan duration and lock in a fixed rate upfront, eliminating variable-rate exposure entirely. Genuine predictability in onchain borrowing, for the first time, enabling serious capital planning for individuals and institutions alike.
Custodied Collateral — offchain custody, onchain borrowing. A direct bridge between traditional finance custody requirements and DeFi's capital efficiency.
Institutional Deployments— new institutional asset managers, who set risk parameters and lending conditions across the Fluid ecosystem, turning the Liquidity Layer into programmable, professionally managed credit markets.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future and cannot be reasonably determined or predicted at this time, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to Fastly’s future GAAP financial results.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative, free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this additional financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Management compensates for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures within our earnings releases.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, and non-GAAP general and administrative differ from GAAP in that they exclude stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation - cost of revenue, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive transition costs, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs.
Adjusted EBITDA: excludes stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation - cost of revenue, gain on modification of lease, depreciation and other amortization expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment expense, executive transition costs, interest income, interest expense, including amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, other expense (income), net, and income taxes.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets: consists of non-cash charges that can be affected by the timing and magnitude of asset purchases and acquisitions. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because these charges are non-cash expenses that can be affected by the timing and magnitude of asset purchases and acquisitions and may not be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook.
Amortization of Debt Discount and Issuance Costs: consists primarily of amortization expense related to our debt obligations. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook. These are included in our total interest expense.
Capital Expenditures: consists of cash used for purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sale of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software and payments on finance lease obligations, as reflected in our statement of cash flows.
Depreciation and Other Amortization Expense: consists of non-cash charges that can be affected by the timing and magnitude of asset purchases. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing adjusted EBITDA performance because these charges are non-cash expenses that can be affected by the timing and magnitude of asset purchases and may not be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook.
Executive Transition Costs: consists of one-time cash charges recognized with respect to changes in our executive’s employment status. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook.
Free Cash Flow: calculated as net cash used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sale of property and equipment, and capitalized internal-use software costs. Management specifically identifies adjusting items in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Management considers non-GAAP free cash flow to be a profitability and liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can possibly be used for investing in Fastly's business and strengthening its balance sheet, but it is not intended to represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flow is also not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
Gain on Modification of Lease: consists of a one-time non-cash charge recognized with respect to the modification of our leases. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook.
Impairment Expense: consists of charges related to our long-lived assets. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Income Taxes: consists primarily of expenses recognized related to state and foreign income taxes. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Interest Expense: consists primarily of interest expense related to our debt instruments, including amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Interest Income: consists primarily of interest income related to our marketable securities. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Other (Expense) Income, Net: consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Employer Payroll Taxes: consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock units, performance awards and other shares issued under our equity incentive plans or our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), as applicable, and the related employer payroll taxes. Although stock-based compensation and its related employer payroll taxes are expenses for the Company, management considers its operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance, primarily because they are expenses not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook. In addition, the value of some stock-based instruments is determined using formulas that incorporate variables, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control.
Amortization of Capitalized Stock-Based Compensation - Cost of Revenue: in order to reflect the performance of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook, and to be consistent with the way many investors evaluate our performance and compare our operating results to peer companies, similar to stock-based compensation, management considers it appropriate to exclude amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP financial measures.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures and adjusted EBITDA serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods and to those of peer companies, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance.
In the financial tables below, the Company provides a reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release.
Key Metrics
1 Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we are excluding stock-based compensation related employer payroll taxes from our non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per common share — basic and non-GAAP net income (loss) per common share — diluted, because we consider our operating results without this activity when evaluating our ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and our adjusted EBITDA performance. We did not recast the presentation for all prior periods presented due to the immaterial amount of such payroll taxes.
2 Remaining Performance Obligations include future committed revenue for periods within current contracts with customers, as well as deferred revenue arising from consideration invoiced for which the related performance obligations have not been satisfied. During the third quarter of 2025, we identified an error in RPO calculations from certain contracts with a termination-for-convenience clause. We recast the presentation of RPO for all prior periods presented to reflect the correction of this error.
3 We calculate LTM Net Retention Rate by dividing the total customer revenue for the prior twelve-month period (“prior 12-month period”) ending at the beginning of the last twelve-month period (“LTM period”) minus revenue contraction due to billing decreases or customer churn, plus revenue expansion due to billing increases during the LTM period from the same customers by the total prior 12-month period revenue. We believe the LTM Net Retention Rate is supplemental as it removes some of the volatility that is inherent in a usage-based business model.
4 Non-GAAP net income per share is calculated as Non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average diluted shares for 2026.
5 Assumes weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 181.4 million in Q3 2026 and 180.3 million for the full year 2026.

BD čeká na výsledky za 3. fiskální čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2026 6. srpna před otevřením trhu; konsensus počítá s poklesem tržeb i EPS meziročně. Tahounem mají být Medical Essentials a Interventional, zatímco Čína a vakcíny dál brzdí růst.
Key Takeaways BDX reports fiscal Q3 results Aug. 6, with revenue and EPS estimates pointing to year-over-year declines.BD Medical Essentials gains from U.S. share growth and new products, while China remains a drag.BD Interventional benefits from PureWick, surgery and vascular strength as vaccines pressure BioPharma. Becton Dickinson and Company (BDX - Free Report) , popularly known as BD, is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2026 results on Aug. 6, before market open.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.90 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.7%. Over the trailing four quarters, its earnings outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate on all occasions, delivering an earnings surprise of 4.1%, on average.
Let’s check out the factors that have shaped BDX’s performance prior to this announcement.
Factors to Note Before BDX ReportsBD Medical EssentialsBD Medical Essentials’ performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to have remained steady, supported by trends observed in the fiscal second quarter. In second-quarter fiscal 2026, the segment delivered growth driven by continued market share expansion in the United States across its Medical Delivery Solutions (MDS) and Specimen Management businesses. MDS benefited from sustained momentum in U.S. Vascular Access Management, while Specimen Management was supported by continued strength in the BD Vacutainer portfolio. However, these gains were partially offset by continued volume-based procurement headwinds in China, which weighed on overall segment growth. Management also indicated that China remained one of the focused areas of pressure across the portfolio, suggesting these market dynamics are likely to have persisted in the to-be-reported quarter.
During the quarter, BDX continued to expand its Medical Essentials portfolio with the commercial launch of the BD CentroVena One Insertion System and the earlier introduction of the BD Vacutainer Urine Complete Cup Kit, which are expected to have witnessed robust product adoption.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter fiscal 2026 BD Medical Essentials revenues is currently pegged at $1.66 billion.
BD InterventionalBD Interventional’s performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to have remained strong, reflecting trends observed in the fiscal second quarter. In second-quarter fiscal 2026, the segment delivered solid growth across its businesses. The Urology and Critical Care business continued to benefit from strength in the PureWick portfolio. Surgery’s performance was driven by strength in Infection Prevention and Advanced Tissue Regeneration, while Peripheral Intervention benefited from robust growth in Peripheral Vascular Disease and Oncology. However, continued market dynamics in China partially offset growth within the Peripheral Intervention business. These factors are likely to have persisted in the to-be-reported quarter, supporting overall segmental revenues while continuing to weigh on performance in China.
During the quarter, BDX continued to strengthen its Interventional portfolio through multiple product introductions. The company launched the Elyra Thulium Fiber Laser System in the United States to expand its kidney stone care portfolio, received FDA clearance for the Surgiphor 1000mL antimicrobial irrigation system and introduced the Revello Vascular Covered Stent across CE-mark-accepting European countries following CE Mark approval. These products are expected to have witnessed robust adoption, thereby driving the segmental revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter fiscal 2026 BD Interventional revenues is currently pegged at $1.39 billion, suggesting an uptick of 4.9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Other Factors Likely to Affect BDXBD Connected Care’s performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to have remained resilient, reflecting trends observed in the fiscal second quarter. In second-quarter fiscal 2026, the segment delivered growth led by Advanced Patient Monitoring, driven by continued strength in U.S. consumables demand. Medication Management Solutions recorded modest growth, as a difficult prior-year comparison in Alaris capital was offset by strong infusion sets performance, supported by increased utilization following the prior-year fluid supply disruption and pull-through from Alaris market share gains. These trends are likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter, supporting segmental revenues.
BD BioPharma Systems’ performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to have remained under pressure, reflecting trends observed in the fiscal second quarter. In second-quarter fiscal 2026, the segment declined as lower demand for vaccine products more than offset continued strength in the Biologics business, driven by GLP-1 programs. Management continued to identify vaccines as a focused area of pressure across the portfolio, suggesting these headwinds are likely to have persisted in the to-be-reported quarter and continued to weigh on segmental revenues.
BD’s Estimate PictureFor third-quarter fiscal 2026, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.89 billion, implying a decline of 11.2% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for EPS is pegged at $3.14, indicating a decrease of 14.7% from the prior-year period’s reported number.

(2)
Reflects adjustments based on our proportionate economic ownership of our joint ventures. Calculated as cash and cash equivalents per the consolidated balance sheet of $552.6 million, plus our Pro-Rata Share of unconsolidated entities cash of $23.4 million, less adjustments allocable to noncontrolling interests of $41.4 million.
(3)
Represents our availability under the $4.0 billion revolving credit facility and our Pro-Rata Share of availability under the $1.38 billion Fund credit facility, which includes a $1.0 billion revolving facility, and a $380.0 million term loan which was fully drawn as of June 30, 2026.
(4)
As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding forward-sale agreements under our ATM program for a total of 21.1 million shares of common stock, which have been executed at a weighted average price of $58.34 per share (assuming full physical settlement of all outstanding shares of common stock, subject to such forward sale agreements and certain assumptions made with respect to settlement dates).
Capital Raising
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we raised $843.0 million of proceeds from the sale of common stock at a weighted average price of $61.52 per share, primarily through the sale of 13.7 million shares of common stock pursuant to forward sale agreements under our ATM program. As of August 5, 2026, approximately 22.5 million shares of common stock subject to ATM forward sale agreements remain unsettled, of which 1.4 million shares were sold in July 2026, representing approximately $1.3 billion in expected net proceeds and a weighted average initial gross price of $60.34 per share. ATM net sale proceeds assume full physical settlement of all outstanding shares of common stock, subject to such forward sale agreements and certain assumptions made with respect to settlement dates.
On July 1, 2026, our U.S. Core Plus Fund called $265.7 million of capital from third-party investors, resulting in an indirect ownership of 23.6% in the Fund.
In July 2026, we issued €600.0 million of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due July 2032 (the "2032 Notes"). The public offering price for the 2032 Notes was 99.518% of the principal amount for an effective annual yield to maturity of 3.716%.
In April 2026, we issued $800.0 million of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due April 2033 (the "April 2033 Notes"). The public offering price for the April 2033 Notes was 98.261% of the principal amount for an effective yield to maturity of 5.047%. Interest is paid semi-annually. In connection with the issuance, we executed a $500 million U.S. Dollar-to-Euro 7-year cross currency swap, resulting in approximately €436 million of proceeds and an effective fixed-rate, Euro-denominated yield to maturity of approximately 4.07% and coupon rate of 3.81%. On a combined basis, the Notes and related swap resulted in an effective blended yield to maturity of approximately 4.44% and blended coupon rate of 4.16%.
Expanded Revolving Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper Programs
In July 2026, we closed on the recast and expansion of our $5.5 billion multicurrency unsecured revolving credit facilities, upsized from the prior $4.0 billion capacity. In addition, we also announced an expanded combined capacity of $5.5 billion for our global commercial paper programs, upsized from the prior $3.0 billion combined capacity.
'A' Credit Rating from Fitch Ratings
On August 3, 2026, Fitch Ratings assigned Realty Income a Long-Term Issuer Default Rating of 'A' with a Stable Outlook. In its press release, Fitch Ratings cited Realty Income's long operating history and cycle-tested performance, durable cash flow, portfolio diversification, and strong access to multiple sources of capital as key drivers supporting its 'A' rating.

GLOSSARY
Adjusted EBITDAre. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") established an EBITDA metric for real estate companies (i.e., EBITDA for real estate, or EBITDAre) it believed would provide investors with a consistent measure to help make investment decisions among certain REITs. Our definition of "Adjusted EBITDAre" is generally consistent with the Nareit definition, other than our adjustment to remove foreign currency and derivative gain and loss and merger, transaction, and other costs, net. We define Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the most recent quarter as earnings (net income) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) executive severance charge, (v) provisions for impairment of real estate, (vi) provisions for credit losses on loans and financing receivables, (vii) merger, transaction, and other costs, net, (viii) gain on sales of real estate, (ix) foreign currency and derivative gain and loss, net, and (x) equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. Our Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDAre reported by other companies or as defined by Nareit, and other companies may interpret or define Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAre to be a meaningful measure of a REIT's performance because it provides a view of our operating performance, analyzes our ability to meet interest payment obligations before the effects of income tax, depreciation and amortization expense, provisions for impairment, provisions for credit losses on loans and financing receivables, gain on sales of real estate and other items, as defined above, that affect comparability, including the removal of non-recurring and non-cash items that industry observers believe are less relevant to evaluating the operating performance of a company. In addition, EBITDAre is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders, investors, rating agencies, and others as a means of evaluating the operating performance of business activities prior to servicing debt obligations. Adjusted EBITDAre should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of our operating performance.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less certain capital expenditures, distributions paid to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests, merger, transaction, and other costs, net, and changes in net working capital. We believe adjusted free cash flow to be a useful liquidity measure for us and our investors by helping to evaluate our ability to generate cash beyond what is needed to fund capital expenditures, debt service and other obligations. Notwithstanding cash on hand and incremental borrowing capacity, adjusted free cash flow reflects our ability to grow our business through investments and acquisitions, as well as our ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends. Adjusted free cash flow is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles to be a primary measure of an entity's residual cash flow available for discretionary spending, and accordingly should not be considered an alternative to operating income, net income, or amounts shown in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as FFO adjusted for unique revenue and expense items, which we believe are not as pertinent to the measurement of our ongoing operating performance. Most companies in our industry use a similar measurement to AFFO, but they may use the term "CAD" (for Cash Available for Distribution) or "FAD" (for Funds Available for Distribution). We believe AFFO provides useful information to investors because it is a widely accepted industry measure of the operating performance of real estate companies used by the investment community. In particular, AFFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for differing depreciation assumptions and other unique revenue and expense items which are not pertinent to measuring a particular company's ongoing operating performance. Therefore, we believe that AFFO is an appropriate supplemental performance metric, and that the most appropriate GAAP performance metric to which AFFO should be reconciled is net income available to common stockholders.
Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by multiplying Adjusted EBITDAre for the applicable quarter by four. Management believes the use of an Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre metric is meaningful because it represents our run rate operating performance for the period presented.
Annualized Adjusted Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by annualizing Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
Annualized Base Rent represents our Pro-Rata Share of contractual monthly base rent for all leases in place and exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, multiplied by 12, and excludes percentage rent and income on loans and preferred equity investments. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. Total annualized base rent has not been reduced to reflect reserves recorded as reductions to GAAP rental revenue in the periods presented. We believe total annualized base rent is a useful supplemental operating measure, as it excludes properties that were no longer owned at the balance sheet date and includes the annualized rent from properties acquired during the quarter.
Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, which includes transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, adjusted to incorporate Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we acquired or stabilized during the applicable quarter and Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we disposed of during the applicable quarter, giving pro forma effect to all transactions as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable quarter. Our calculation includes all adjustments consistent with the requirements to present Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre on a pro forma basis in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The ratio of our net debt to our Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre is also used to determine the vesting of performance share awards granted to our executive officers.
Cash Income represents expected rent for real estate acquisitions as well as rent to be received upon completion of the properties under development. For unconsolidated entities and consolidated entities with noncontrolling interests, this represents our Pro-Rata Share of the cash income. For loans receivable and preferred equity investments, this represents earned interest income and preferred dividend income, respectively.
Funds From Operations (FFO), a non-GAAP financial measure, consistent with the Nareit definition, is net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus provisions for impairments of depreciable real estate assets, and reduced by gain on property sales. Presentation of the information regarding FFO and AFFO is intended to assist the reader in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and AFFO in the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and AFFO should not be considered alternatives to reviewing our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. In addition, FFO and AFFO should not be considered measures of liquidity, of our ability to make cash distributions, or of our ability to pay interest payments. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT's operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that adds back items such as depreciation and impairments for FFO. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation could be less informative. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. In addition, FFO is used as a measure of our compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility.
Gross Asset Value is total assets before accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Initial Weighted Average Cash Yield for acquisitions and properties under development is computed as Cash Income for the first twelve months following the acquisition date, divided by the total cost of the property (including all expenses borne by us), and includes our Pro-Rata Share of Cash Income from unconsolidated joint ventures and consolidated entities with noncontrolling interests. Initial weighted average cash yield for loans receivable and preferred equity investments is computed using the Cash Income for the first twelve months following the acquisition date, divided by the total cost of the investment.
Investment Grade Clients are our clients, our clients that are subsidiaries or affiliates of companies, and credit investments secured with a real estate property leased to a tenant, that as of the balance sheet date, have a credit rating of Baa3/BBB- or higher from one of the three major rating agencies (Moody's/S&P/Fitch).
Net Debt/Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre, a ratio used by management as a measure of leverage, is calculated as net debt (which we define as total debt, excluding deferred financing costs and net discounts, less cash and cash equivalents), divided by Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre.
Net Debt/Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre - Inclusive of Unsettled ATM Forward Equity, a ratio used by management as a measure of leverage, is calculated as net debt inclusive of unsettled ATM forward equity (which we define as total debt, excluding deferred financing costs and net discounts, less cash and cash equivalents, less expected proceeds from unsettled ATM forward equity as of the balance sheet date), divided by Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre.
Normalized Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (Normalized FFO), a non-GAAP financial measure, is FFO excluding merger, transaction, and other costs, net.
Pro-Rata Share represents our proportionate economic ownership of our joint ventures, which is derived by applying our economic ownership percentage of each such joint venture to calculate our proportionate share of the relevant line item information being presented, and aggregating that information for all such joint ventures. For balance sheet information and other capital-based metrics, we apply our economic ownership percentage as of the end of the applicable period being presented, and for activity- and earnings-based metrics, we apply our weighted average economic ownership percentage for the applicable period being presented, unless otherwise specified.
We believe this form of presentation offers insights into the financial performance and condition of our company as a whole, given the significance of our joint ventures that are accounted for either under the equity method or consolidated with the third parties' share included in noncontrolling interest, although the presentation of such information may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding a noncontrolling interest in the joint venture. We do not control the unconsolidated joint ventures in which we are invested for purposes of GAAP and do not represent legal claim to such items.
The operating agreements of the joint ventures may contain provisions that would cause us to receive a different economic percentage of distributions from the joint venture under certain circumstances, such as the amount of capital contributed by each investor and whether any contributions are entitled to priority distributions. Similarly, upon a liquidation of any such joint venture, subject to the applicable terms of the operating agreement of such joint venture, we generally would be entitled to the applicable percentage of residual cash or other assets that remain only after repayment of all liabilities, priority distributions, and initial equity contributions. In addition, the economic interests in any joint venture may be different than our other legal interests or rights in such joint venture.
We provide pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our joint ventures when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. Other companies may calculate their proportionate interest differently than we do, limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure. Due to these limitations, the non-GAAP pro-rata financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial statements as reported under GAAP.
Same Store Pool, for purposes of determining the properties used to calculate our same store rental revenue, includes all properties that we owned for the entire year-to-date period, for both the current and prior year except for properties during the current or prior year that were: (i) vacant at any time, (ii) under development or redevelopment, or (iii) involved in eminent domain and rent was reduced.
Same Store Rental Revenue excludes straight-line rent, the amortization of above and below-market leases, and reimbursements from clients for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses. For purposes of comparability, same store rental revenue is presented on a constant currency basis by applying the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date to base currency rental revenue. We present same store rental revenue on a pro-rata basis to account for our share of same store rental revenue related to unconsolidated and consolidated joint ventures. For purposes of comparability, we calculate our Pro-Rata Share using our ownership percentage as of June 30, 2026 to same store rental revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights
On July 30, 2026, eBay closed its acquisition of Depop Limited (Depop), a leading consumer-to-consumer (C2C) fashion marketplace with a highly engaged Gen Z and Millennial audience, strengthening eBay's leadership in circular fashion and recommerce. eBay Live posted another record quarter, with GMV growing by roughly eight times year-over-year across its seven markets. eBay Live continued to deepen global engagement across categories by delivering timely, high-impact experiences that aligned with major cultural moments like the World Cup. These experiences mobilized enthusiasts across the platform while connecting fans to eBay's unique inventory of curated collectibles and memorabilia. eBay expanded coverage of Authenticity Guarantee to more than 100 fashion brands in the U.S. and U.K. The company also integrated Enquirus, the trusted global database of registered luxury watches, across the U.S., U.K. and Germany, strengthening buyer confidence in eBay's luxury resale offering. eBay reinforced its leadership position in Collectibles by expanding Authenticity Guarantee for U.K. trading cards valued at over £500 and broadening eligibility for its PSA Grading option to include pack-pulled autographed trading cards in the U.S. eBay further enhanced the C2C experience in Australia, streamlining the end-to-end selling experience with AI-powered listing tools, simplified shipping, secure payments and stronger buyer protections. In Motors Parts & Accessories (P&A), eBay launched Easy and Free Returns in the U.K. to give buyers greater confidence through a simpler, no-cost returns experience, and expanded the Guaranteed Fit program to Canada, where it also began automatically enriching listings with fitment data to help shoppers find compatible parts. In Vehicles, eBay introduced new listing capabilities in the eBay mobile app, making it easier for sellers to bring new inventory onto the platform. Additionally, by leveraging AI and automation to simplify the transaction process, eBay significantly reduced the average time to vehicle pickup. The latest generation of eBay's Magical Listing tool was expanded to include all new and reactivated listers in the U.K. and Germany, further accelerating consumer supply by making it faster and easier to list and sell on eBay. eBay's AI-powered card scanning feature recently surpassed 80 million cumulative scans as collectors increasingly used the tool to quickly identify cards, understand pricing and list or shop with greater confidence. The company also enhanced Trading Card listings with richer market pricing insights, including Card Ladder indexes that help collectors track the value of specific players, characters, sports and collectible card game genres over time. Goldin, an eBay company, continued to drive demand for premium collectibles through record-setting sales, including a solo Michael Jordan card for $4.3 million and Wayne Gretzky's Stanley Cup-winning jersey for $2.8 million, the most ever paid for a hockey jersey. eBay returned to the Met Gala for the fourth consecutive year as designers and creators sourced one-of-a-kind pieces for looks worn by SZA, Wisdom Kaye, Paloma Elsesser and others, reinforcing its marketplace as a destination for pre-loved fashion. Impact

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating income and margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, free cash flow and figures in this press release presented on an "FX-Neutral basis." These non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a continuing operations basis.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate the company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release, except for figures in this press release presented on an "FX-Neutral basis," can be found in the tables included in this press release. For figures in this press release reported on an "FX-Neutral basis," the company calculates the year-over-year impact of foreign currency movements using prior period foreign currency rates, excluding hedging activity, applied to current year transactional currency amounts.
These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the company's current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses, or net purchases of property and equipment, as the case may be, that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. In addition, because the company has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the company's financial reporting.
For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further below, the company's management uses financial measures that do not include stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on stock-based compensation, amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, amortization of deferred tax assets associated with the realignment of its legal structure and related foreign exchange effects, significant gains or losses from the disposal/acquisition of a business, certain gains and losses on investments including changes in fair value, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of any related foreign exchange derivative instruments, gains or losses associated with a warrant agreement that the company entered into with Adyen, restructuring-related charges and the income taxes associated with the foregoing. In addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, the company's management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures in reviewing the financial results of the company.
The company excludes the following items from non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating income and margin and non-GAAP effective tax rate:
Stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes. This expense consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases. The company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that management does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. The related employer payroll taxes are dependent on the company's stock price and the vesting of restricted stock by employees and the timing and size of stock option exercises, over which management has limited to no control, and as such management does not believe it correlates to the company's operation of the business.
Amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, certain amortization of deferred tax assets and related foreign exchange effects, and certain gains or losses on investments. The company incurs amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets and goodwill in connection with acquisitions and excludes these amounts from its non-GAAP measures. The company also excludes certain gains and losses on investments. The company excludes the non-cash amortization of deferred tax assets associated with the realignment of its legal structure, which is not reduced by the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and related foreign exchange effects. The company excludes these items because management does not believe they correlate to the ongoing operating results of the company's business.
Restructuring. These charges consist of expenses for employee severance and other exit and disposal costs. The company excludes significant restructuring charges primarily because management does not believe they are reflective of ongoing operating results.
Transaction related costs. The company may incur significant gains or losses and incremental costs related to the acquisition or disposal of a business, unsolicited proposals and shareholder activism matters. These costs include third party fees such as banker fees, legal and advisory fees and other professional services. The company excludes these items from its non-GAAP measures as management does not believe they correlate to the company's ongoing operating results of the business.
Other certain significant gains, losses, or charges that are not indicative of the company's core operating results. These are significant gains, losses, or charges during a period that are the result of isolated events or transactions which have not occurred frequently in the past and are not expected to occur regularly or be repeated in the future. The company excludes these amounts from its results primarily because management does not believe they are indicative of its current or ongoing operating results. These amounts include changes in fair value and the related change in foreign currency exchange rates of equity securities with readily determinable fair values, globally.
Change in fair market value of warrants. These are gains or losses associated with warrant agreements entered into with vendors, which are attributable to changes in fair value during the period.
Income tax effects and adjustments. We are using a non-GAAP tax rate of 17.5% for evaluating our operating results, up from 16.5% in 2025. This rate could change for various reasons including significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate.
In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, the company also uses free cash flow. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows less purchases of property and equipment. The company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property, buildings, and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the company's business, make strategic acquisitions, repurchase stock and pay dividends. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the company's cash balance for the period and does not exclude certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements.

Etsy propustí asi 220 lidí, tedy zhruba 12 % zaměstnanců, aby zjednodušila strukturu a zrychlila inovace. Nejvíc škrtů zasáhne produktové a inženýrské týmy.
Etsy said Wednesday it's laying off about 220 employees, or roughly 12% of its workforce, as the online marketplace looks to simplify its organizational structure and innovate faster in an increasingly competitive e-commerce industry.
Etsy CEO Kruti Patel Goyal, who took over the helm at the beginning of this year, told staffers in a memo that the job cuts will position the company for "building the organization we believe Etsy needs for the future."
Most of the cuts will impact Etsy's product and engineering teams, the company said.
The layoffs, which were announced alongside Etsy's second-quarter earnings results, aren't a cost-cutting effort, but are intended to help the company "lean in during a period of strong momentum so that we can move faster and execute with even greater focus," Etsy wrote in its letter to shareholders.
The cuts also weren't driven by artificial intelligence, an Etsy spokesperson said.
"You've heard me say that our first priority was to get the business growing again," Patel Goyal wrote in the staff memo. "Our ultimate goal, though, has always been to take Etsy to the next level of growth so we can fully deliver on our mission and our potential. We are now at the point where we need to make that shift - to build the team, culture, and organization that will make that possible."

The company's business boomed during the Covid-19 pandemic, as shoppers flocked to online retailers in droves, but it struggled to keep that momentum going once lockdowns eased and consumers returned to physical stores.
The company has also faced growing pressure to compete with rivals like Amazon and Walmart, along with newer e-commerce entrants TikTok Shop and Temu.
Under Patel Goyal and her predecessor, Josh Silverman, the company has looked to double down on its reputation as a marketplace for unique products, while weeding out mass-produced, generic items from resellers. In a warning shot to Amazon, the company in June launched a "Shop Other Jeffs" advertising campaign during the retail giant's Prime Day promotion that featured "non-billionaire makers" named Jeff.
It's also made improvements to search capabilities on its website to show more personalized results to shoppers and help them discover items faster.
So far, the changes appear to be bearing fruit. For the second quarter, sales came in at $668.3 million, while analysts surveyed by LSEG expected $649.1 million. Sales on its core marketplace grew 9.3%.
The company boosted its full year guidance for gross merchandise sales, or the dollar value of items sold, projecting they'll grow in the mid-single-digit range, up from low-single-digit growth.
Etsy lost an adjusted 36 cents per share, compared with adjusted earnings per share of 25 cents one year earlier. The company said the results reflect the impact of its sale last June of musical instrument marketplace Reverb.
Etsy has been offloading other brands in its portfolio as part of its effort to focus on the core marketplace business. The company last month completed its sale of Depop to eBay for $1.2 billion, roughly a year after it acquired the secondhand marketplace for $1.6 billion.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: Z and ZG), which is transforming the way people buy, sell, rent and finance homes, today announced its consolidated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Complete financial results for the second quarter and outlook for the third quarter and the full year of 2026 can be found in the shareholder letter on the Investor Relations section of Zillow Group's website at https://investors.zillowgroup.com/investors/financials/quarterly-results/default.aspx.
"Zillow delivered another quarter of strong results and consistent execution. We outperformed the broader housing market and our outlook, and we are on track toward our full-year goals," said Zillow Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Wacksman. "Zillow is the operating system for modern real estate, and we are building toward a future where getting home through the integrated experience on Zillow is the standard for renters, buyers, sellers and the industry professionals who guide them through it."
Recent highlights include:
Q2 revenue was up 18% year over year to $772 million, above the high end of the company's outlook range. The residential real estate industry grew by 6% in Q2.1 The company estimates Q2 purchase mortgage origination volume for the industry was approximately flat year over year, which more closely represents the company's customer base. For Sale revenue was up 14% year over year in Q2 to $549 million. Residential revenue was up 7% year over year in Q2 to $465 million, benefiting from growth in Preferred, Zillow Showcase, New Construction and the company's suite of agent software tools. Mortgages revenue increased 75% year over year to $84 million in Q2, primarily due to a 95% increase in purchase loan origination volume to $2.2 billion. Rentals revenue increased 31% year over year in Q2 to $209 million, primarily driven by multifamily revenue growing 42% year over year. Net loss was $4 million in Q2, and net loss margin was 1%, an 80-basis-point decrease year over year. Diluted net loss per share was $0.02 compared to diluted net income per share of $0.01 in Q2 a year ago. Adjusted net income was $118 million and Diluted adjusted net income per share was $0.52 compared with $0.40 in Q2 a year ago.2 Q2 Adjusted EBITDA was $176 million, above the high end of our outlook range, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 23%.2 Cash and investments at the end of Q2 were $682 million. In Q2, the company repurchased 5.6 million shares for $200 million. Traffic to Zillow Group's mobile apps and sites in Q2 was down 2% year over year to 239 million average monthly unique users.3 Visits during Q2 were down 2% year over year to 2.5 billion. According to Comscore, which tracks growth trends across the residential real estate category, Zillow's average monthly unique visitors in Q2 outperformed the category, which saw a decline overall, similar to other leading indicators that are pointing to a slower second half. Zillow is the only large company in the category, according to Comscore, to consistently expand its reach with the real estate audience over the past seven quarters.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results and liquidity, this press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Diluted adjusted net income per share, and Adjusted free cash flow, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. We have provided a reconciliation below of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by our management and Board of Directors to measure operating performance and trends and to prepare and approve our annual budget. In particular, we believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation; Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring costs; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or other income, net; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income taxes; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain litigation costs directly associated with our pending antitrust litigation brought by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") and state attorneys general ("FTC Matter"), consisting of legal fees and related expenses that we have determined arise outside the ordinary course of our business and are nonrecurring, infrequent, or unusual. In making this determination, we considered the following factors: (1) the FTC Matter is the first legal proceeding of this nature brought against us, and we do not currently expect similar proceedings to recur; (2) the nature of the remedies sought by the FTC, including, among other things, a permanent injunction and a divestiture of assets or reconstruction of businesses, differs from the relief typically sought in our ordinary course litigation; and (3) the counterparties are a federal regulatory agency and state attorneys generals, which are distinct from the type of counterparties involved in our ordinary course litigation; and Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently from the way we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash-flow metrics, net income (loss), and our other GAAP results.
Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Share
Our presentation of Adjusted net income and Diluted adjusted net income per share excludes the impact of share-based compensation, restructuring costs, FTC Matter litigation costs and income taxes. These measures are not key metrics used by our management or Board of Directors to measure operating performance or otherwise manage the business. However, we provide Adjusted net income and Diluted adjusted net income per share as supplemental information to investors, as we believe the exclusion of the results of share-based compensation, restructuring costs, FTC Matter litigation costs and income taxes facilitates investors' operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. You should not consider Adjusted net income and Diluted adjusted net income per share in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We define Adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment, purchases of intangible assets, net borrowings on master repurchase agreements, and the initial payment in connection with the Redfin rentals partnership. Borrowings on master repurchase agreements are used to fund Zillow Home Loans mortgage loan originations, and we consider them part of our ongoing liquidity management. The initial payment in connection with the Redfin rentals partnership was considered a one-time and nonrecurring cash flow, and we exclude it from our calculation as we believe it impacts the ability to evaluate the liquidity of our business operations on a period-to-period basis.
We have included Adjusted free cash flow in this press release as it is a key metric used by our management to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and execution and our ability to consistently generate cash from our core operations on a period-to-period basis.
Our use of Adjusted free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted free cash flow differently from the way we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Pembina Pipeline ve 2. čtvrtletí 2026 nesplnila odhad EPS o 1 cent, ale tržby meziročně vzrostly asi o 20 % na 1,55 miliardy USD. Zároveň potvrdila výhled upraveného EBITDA na rok 2026 v rozmezí 4,35 až 4,55 miliardy kanadských dolarů.
Key Takeaways Pembina Pipeline missed Q2 EPS estimates, while revenues climbed about 20% year over year.PBA beat volume estimates across Pipelines, Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures segments.Pembina Pipeline reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance and expects Q4 earnings to be stronger. Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of 48 cents, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. However, it increased from the year-ago quarter’s level of 47 cents. This improvement was primarily driven by strong underlying operational performance and volume growth across the Pipelines and Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures divisions.
PBA’s Pipelines, Facilities and Marketing & New Ventures volumes for the period were 2,809 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboe/d), 889 mboe/d and 372 mboe/d, respectively, beating the consensus estimates of 2,777 mboe/d, 302 mboe/d and 362mboe/d.
This Calgary-based oil and gas storage and transportation company’s quarterly sales of $1.55 billion increased about 20% year over year, driven by higher revenue performance across all three segments.
The company’s operating cash flow increased 13.5% to C$897 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased about 5% year over year to C$1.06 billion.
Pembina Pipeline’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 73.5 Canadian cents per share to its common shareholders of record as of Sept. 15. The payout will be made on Sept. 29, 2026.
During the second quarter, Pembina Pipeline advanced major pipeline and facilities projects, approved nearly C$3 billion (net) for the Greenlight Electricity Center and Heartland Extraction Plant, joined a West Coast oil pipeline initiative, and expanded long-term ethane agreements, supporting its 3Cs strategy and 5-7% annual fee-based adjusted EBITDA per-share growth target through 2030.
PBA’s Q2 Segmental InformationPipelines: Adjusted EBITDA of C$626 million decreased about 3.1% from the year-ago quarter’s level. This was caused primarily by lower net revenues on Alliance Pipeline as a result of the Alliance New Toll Structure.
Volumes in this segment saw a 1.5% year-over-year increase to 2,809 mboe/d.
Facilities: Adjusted EBITDA of C$386 million increased from the year-ago quarter’s C$331 million, driven primarily by higher revenues from the Redwater Complex as a result of RFS IV entering service in May 2026 and no comparable planned outage as occurred in the second quarter of 2025 and higher contributions from certain PGI assets due to higher volumes from the Wapiti Expansion entering service in March 2026, stronger performance at the Dawson assets, fewer planned outages compared to the prior period and higher recoveries driven by an asset upgrade.
Volumes of 889 mboe/d increased by about 7.6% year over year.
Marketing & New Ventures: Adjusted EBITDA of C$111 million increased from the year-ago quarter’s C$74 million. This increase was driven by wider WCSB and U.S. NGL frac spreads resulting from higher NGL prices, including the benefits from exposure to premium propane prices in Asian markets through West Coast exports, higher crude oil prices and sales volumes and higher realized losses on NGL-based derivatives and lower realized gains on crude oil-based derivatives.
Volumes of 372 mboe/d increased 23.2% year over year.
PBA’s Capital Expenditure & Balance SheetThe company spent C$218 million as capital expenditure in the quarter under review compared with C$197 million a year ago.
As of June 30, 2026, PBA had cash and cash equivalents worth C$153 million and C$19.8 billion in long-term debt. Debt-to-capitalization was 53.7%.
PBA’s Q3 & 2026 GuidanceThis Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company reiterated its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of C$4.35 billion-C$4.55 billion, noting that it is currently trending to the midpoint of the range. At the midpoint of its guidance range, Pembina Pipeline expects third-quarter adjusted EBITDA to be lower than the second quarter due to seasonal trends, spending timing and certain one-time items, with stronger earnings anticipated in the fourth quarter.

Important Earnings at a GlanceWhile we have discussed PBA’s second-quarter results in detail, let us take a look at three other key reports in this space.
Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted net income per share of 55 cents, marginally beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 54 cents. The outperformance was backed by year-over-year revenue growth. However, the bottom line was flat compared with the prior-year level. Meanwhile, HAL’s second-quarter revenues of $5.7 billion were up 3.7% year over year and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.5 billion. The outperformance was driven by higher revenues in both segments of the company — the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment.
Halliburton reported second-quarter capital expenditure of $235 million. As of June 30, 2026, the company had approximately $2 billion in cash/cash equivalents and $7.1 billion in long-term debt, representing a debt-to-capitalization of 39%.
Liberty Energy Inc. (LBRT - Free Report) reported a second-quarter 2026 adjusted net profit of 9 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents. The outperformance was driven by the company’s focus on AI-driven technology advancements and strong operational execution. However, the bottom line decreased from the year-ago quarter’s profit of 12 cents due to increased year-over-year costs and expenses. LBRT's revenues totaled $1.2 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.1 billion. The top line also increased from the prior-year quarter’s $1 billion by 14%, supported by record utilization and a modest pricing uplift along with higher product sales.
As of June 30, Liberty Energy had approximately $555.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The pressure pumper’s long-term debt of $1.3 billion represented a debt-to-capitalization of 39.5%.
Houston, TX-based oil and gas storage and transportation company Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 31 cents by 19.35%. Earnings increased 32.1% from 28 cents in the year-ago quarter. KMI’s revenues increased 10.8% year over year to $4.48 billion from the prior year’s figure of $4.04 billion. Revenues surpassed the consensus estimate of $4.29 billion by 4.43%.
Cash flow from operations was $1.96 billion in the quarter. Meanwhile, free cash flow was $978 million and free cash flow after dividends reached $313 million. As of June 30, 2026, KMI reported $89 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net debt stood at $32.03 billion at quarter-end.
Pembina schválila projekt Greenlight za C$4,6 miliardy a 932 MW, který má zásobovat elektřinou datové centrum Meta v Albertě. Firma tím získává novou růstovou platformu mimo své midstream aktivity.
Key Takeaways Pembina approved the C$4.6B, 932-MW Greenlight project to power a Meta data center in Alberta.Greenlight could lift demand across Pembina's gas processing, transport, fractionation and marketing assets.A second phase and nearby land could support more data-center power projects, though execution risks remain. Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PBA - Free Report) is adding a new growth avenue through dedicated power generation for data centers. The Greenlight Electricity Centre broadens the company’s role beyond pipelines and midstream services while preserving its preference for long-term contracted cash flows.
The project also could lift demand across Pembina’s existing natural gas and natural gas liquids infrastructure. That wider value-chain effect is central to the investment case.
Greenlight Gives Pembina a New Growth PlatformThe 932-megawatt Greenlight facility will supply dedicated gas-fired power to a Meta data center in Alberta. Pembina and its partners reached a positive final investment decision on the C$4.6 billion gross project, with Pembina viewing it as a low-risk, stable cash flow stream.
Greenlight also diversifies Pembina’s customer and business mix. Management has described the development as a new platform at the intersection of energy infrastructure, artificial intelligence and data-center construction, giving the company another path to growth beyond its established midstream footprint.

How PBA Could Benefit Beyond the Power ProjectGreenlight is expected to create incremental demand for Western Canadian natural gas. That demand could support Pembina’s gas processing and transportation systems as well as its natural gas liquids transportation, fractionation and marketing operations.
The opportunity is therefore broader than the earnings contribution from the power plant alone. Pembina’s integrated model allows one source of gas demand to generate activity across several stages of the value chain, improving the potential economics of future projects that use nearby infrastructure.
Image Source: Pembina Pipeline Corporation
Pembina’s First-Mover Edge Could Support ExpansionManagement is pursuing a possible second phase of Greenlight and other gas-to-power developments for data centers. Pembina recently acquired land near Greenlight and the Redwater Complex, giving it room to support additional projects if customer commitments and economics align.
The competitive field is developing. TC Energy Corporation (TRP - Free Report) is targeting gas-supply growth tied partly to data centers, while Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) is advancing gas transmission opportunities serving utility, LNG and new data-center demand. Pembina’s nearby assets, land position and integrated NGL network could help it compete for projects in Alberta.
Execution and Capital Risks Still Matter for PBAGreenlight is one of several major developments competing for Pembina’s capital and management attention. The company also is advancing Cedar LNG, the Heartland Extraction Plant and other infrastructure initiatives, increasing the importance of disciplined project sequencing and cost control.
Construction costs, regulatory approvals, schedules and customer commitments could affect returns or delay cash flows. Pembina ended the second quarter of 2026 with C$19.8 billion in long-term debt, and current assets remained below current liabilities, limiting tolerance for execution setbacks.
What PBA’s Signals Say About the ThemeGreenlight could extend Pembina’s growth runway beyond 2030, particularly if the first project leads to additional data-center developments. The near-term stock signals, however, remain less favorable than the long-duration strategic opportunity.
PBA currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), along with a Growth Score of F and a VGM Score of F. The Zacks Rank reflects unfavorable earnings-estimate revision trends over the next one to three months, while the weak Style Scores indicate that the stock does not currently screen well on growth or a combined value, growth and momentum basis. Investors may therefore want to separate Greenlight’s long-term potential from PBA’s weaker near-term quantitative profile.

Strategy schválila prodej Bitcoinu až za 1,25 miliardy USD v rezervách v USD, na odkupy preferenčních akcií, dividendy preferenčních akcií a další odkupy kmenových akcií. Do konce července už prodala BTC za 218 milionů USD a dalších 25 milionů USD použila na odkupy preferenčních akcií.
Strategy (MSTR +0.93%), once known as MicroStrategy, owns 842,138 Bitcoins (BTC +0.93%) with a market value of $54.5 billion. That makes Strategy Bitcoin's largest corporate investor with roughly 4% of the cryptocurrency's total supply on its balance sheet.
Strategy started hoarding Bitcoin back in 2020. Its share count has more than quadrupled over the past six years as it issued additional shares and convertible debt to fund those purchases. Its chairman, Michael Saylor, who led Strategy's transformation from a software company into a Bitcoin hoarder, also said he would "never" sell his own Bitcoin.

That's why it was surprising when Strategy recently authorized a multi-billion-dollar sale of its Bitcoin holdings to fund its buybacks, dividends, and other corporate obligations. Let's see why it's seemingly reversing its long-term strategy -- and what it means for the company's investors.
Today's Change

What did Strategy actually authorize? In late July, Strategy said it would sell Bitcoin to raise as much as $1.25 billion in U.S. dollar reserves, repurchase up to $1 billion in its preferred stock (STRC +1.75%), fund its preferred stock dividends (at an 11% yield), and buy back another $1 billion in its common stock.
By the end of July, Strategy had sold $218 million in Bitcoin to fund its preferred stock dividends and $25 million on buybacks for its preferred shares. It plans to keep buying back its preferred shares as long as they trade below $100, but it hasn't repurchased any of its common stock yet.
That shift strongly suggests that Strategy thinks its own stock, which has declined 74% over the past 12 months, is more undervalued than Bitcoin, which fell 43% during the same period. But with an enterprise value of $40.4 billion, Strategy might seem ridiculously overvalued at 82 times this year's sales.
However, that enterprise value is actually lower than the market value of its Bitcoin holdings. Therefore, if Strategy expects Bitcoin's value to keep rising over the long term, it actually makes sense to trim some of its Bitcoin holdings to buy back more of its shares.
Is Strategy losing faith in Bitcoin? Strategy's decision to sell more Bitcoin to cover buybacks and dividends might seem like a red flag for the world's top cryptocurrency. Yet it's also a prudent move, since fears of interest rate hikes could limit Bitcoin's upside potential for at least the next few months. Strategy isn't really turning bearish on Bitcoin, which accounts for almost the entire business. It simply makes more sense to convert some of its holdings to cash so it can buy back more of its shares when they become too cheap to ignore. Michael Saylor also hasn't sold any of his own personal Bitcoin holdings -- and he still expects its price to hit $21 million by 2046.
Lucid Motors odložila levnější SUV Cosmos zhruba o rok na druhou polovinu 2027, aby se vyhnula problémům s kvalitou. Akcie ve středu spadly o více než 15 %.
Lucid Motors was just months away from releasing its most affordable electric vehicle yet, a crossover SUV called the Cosmos that was supposed to start under $50,000. But this week, the company pushed the release of the Cosmos back by almost a full year to the second half of 2027, part of an effort by its new CEO to avoid the quality problems that Lucid has suffered with its existing EVs.
It’s the latest setback for the company, which has struggled to find more than a niche customer base for its expensive, but technologically impressive, vehicles. And it’s one that CEO Silvio Napoli presented as necessary for the company to survive.
“While there is no question that Lucid brought leading innovations and outstanding products to the market, we have disappointed on several fronts, and for far too long,” Napoli said this week. “We have not executed consistently. We missed commitments, launched products before they were ready, underinvested in service, responded too slowly to quality issues, and allowed complexity to slow decisions down.”
Napoli’s sober assessment, which he offered on the company’s second-quarter earnings call, helps explain why he has taken an axe to the company’s leadership structure and overall workforce.
Multiple executives have left since he officially took over on June 1, including Senior Vice President of Finance Gagan Dhingra, whose departure was disclosed at the bottom of the company’s second-quarter financial filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday. Napoli has replaced those outgoing executives with an entirely new C-suite as he embarks on a cost-cutting mission aimed at achieving $1.4 billion in savings by the end of this year.
Napoli also cut 18% of Lucid’s overall workforce in June, following a 12% layoff earlier this year before he came on board. He canceled a second shift at Lucid’s factory in Arizona, citing lower demand for the company’s EVs — including its Gravity SUV, which has not taken off as the company expected despite being a more popular form factor than its first EV, the Air sedan.
The Cosmos had been seen by some as a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s supposed to be the first of several cars built on Lucid’s next-generation “mid-size” EV platform, which is smaller and cheaper to build. The much lower price tag is supposed to help Lucid attract more customers and reach higher sales volumes.
But Napoli seems worried that the upside of getting the Cosmos EV to market could be negated if Lucid doesn’t get the launch right.
Though he didn’t explicitly name the SUV, Napoli said on the call this week that he delayed Cosmos because he doesn’t want to run into the same kind of problems Lucid has had with previous vehicles, clearly referring to the Gravity.
The company has struggled with build quality and software issues on the Gravity. Things got so bad at one point that Napoli’s predecessor, interim CEO Marc Winterhoff, apologized to Lucid owners.
“We will not repeat the mistakes of the past by bringing a product to market before it is ready,” Napoli said on the call.
The decision to delay Cosmos will likely disappoint some customers who were hoping to buy one by the end of this year. But the delay, combined with the decision to lower production in Arizona, is also affecting Lucid’s supply base.
In the company’s quarterly filing with the SEC, it wrote that “lower production volumes or demand, or reductions in our projected production volumes, have negatively affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our relationships with existing suppliers, who may seek to increase pricing, assert contractual or other claims, or otherwise fail to perform or comply with contractual obligations.”
Napoli’s big “reset” of Lucid Motors means the company now has to tread water for another year until the Cosmos EV goes into production. The company said Tuesday that it has “sufficient liquidity runway well into 2027.” But it also warned Wall Street analysts that it is going to build and sell fewer vehicles this year than it had previously predicted. As a result, the company’s stock price plummeted more than 15% on Wednesday.
With Cosmos delayed, there will now be even more attention on Lucid’s planned robotaxi service with Uber and Nuro, which is supposed to launch by the end of this year. Napoli called it a “top priority and, indeed, a must-win project for Lucid” on Tuesday’s call.
As part of that collaboration, Uber has ordered 10,000 Gravity SUVs that will be retrofitted with autonomous vehicle tech from Nuro. Uber has also ordered 25,000 robotaxis based on Lucid’s mid-size platform, though those aren’t expected to enter production until late 2028.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said on his company’s own earnings call Wednesday that Napoli is “taking some bold steps to go back to the fundamentals” at Lucid, and said he believed the restructuring is “necessary” and “positive.”
Khosrowshahi also pointed out that Lucid’s majority owner — Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund — is a major investor in Uber, and said the Kingdom is “the definition of a long-term fundamental investor.”
“We think the combination of ourselves, Nuro, and the Public Investment Fund backing Lucid, along with the actions that Silvio is taking, are kind of the right formula for them to deliver on the commitments that we have on the books with them,” Khosrowshahi said.

Qorvo v prvním fiskálním čtvrtletí překonala odhady zisku i tržeb a zlepšila marži na 52,8 %. Firma zároveň zvýšila výhled non-GAAP EPS pro fiskální rok 2027 na více než 7,00 USD.
Key Takeaways Qorvo topped earnings and revenue estimates as margins and operating income improved despite softer demand.QRVO is expanding into defense, infrastructure and power to reduce reliance on smartphones.Qorvo expects non-GAAP gross margin above 50% and raised fiscal 2027 EPS outlook above $7.00. Shares of Qorvo Inc. (QRVO - Free Report) have rallied 11.6% over the past month as investors responded to improving profitability and signs that the company's strategic repositioning is gaining traction. The latest advance naturally raises the question of whether fundamentals can continue supporting the stock or whether much of the optimism has already been reflected in its valuation.
The recent quarter suggests Qorvo is making progress in improving its earnings profile. At the same time, exposure to the cyclical smartphone market, macroeconomic uncertainty and the pending Skyworks transaction remain important considerations for investors evaluating the stock's next move.
QRVO Earnings Momentum Builds ConfidenceQorvo reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings of $1.64 per share, comfortably ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.10. Revenues of $784.8 million also exceeded the consensus estimate of $745.8 million, demonstrating better-than-expected execution despite a challenging demand environment.
Profitability was the biggest highlight. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 52.8% from 44.0% a year earlier, while non-GAAP operating income climbed to $177.6 million from $108.2 million. Non-GAAP earnings increased 78% year over year, reflecting disciplined cost controls and a richer product mix rather than broad-based revenue growth.

The stronger profitability also compares favorably with many radio-frequency peers, where margin performance continues to fluctuate amid uneven handset demand. While companies such as Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS - Free Report) and QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM - Free Report) remain heavily exposed to the mobile ecosystem, Qorvo's recent execution suggests it is improving profitability even in a subdued smartphone market. That does not necessarily explain the stock's recent rally, but it provides investors with greater confidence in the company's operating trajectory.
Qorvo Shifts Toward Higher-Value MarketsA key part of Qorvo's strategy is expanding beyond smartphones into markets with stronger long-term growth opportunities. Management highlighted double-digit revenue growth across defense and aerospace, infrastructure and power markets during the latest quarter. The company also pointed to successful higher-value product placements within its Advanced Cellular Group, helping improve its overall business mix.
Qorvo's diversified RF portfolio now serves infrastructure, industrial, automotive, enterprise, defense and mobile customers through three operating segments. This broad exposure reduces reliance on any single end market while allowing the company to capitalize on increasing RF complexity across connected devices.
The strategy also differentiates Qorvo from more narrowly focused RF competitors. While Broadcom continues to benefit from its diversified semiconductor portfolio and AI networking exposure, Qorvo is building diversification through defense, infrastructure and power applications, areas that may provide steadier demand than consumer electronics over a full industry cycle.
QRVO Still Faces Mobile and Deal RisksThe company's progress does not eliminate several meaningful risks.Advanced Cellular Group still generated 60.7% of first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenues, leaving overall performance closely tied to smartphone demand and major customer purchasing decisions. During the latest quarter, weaker smartphone-related demand remained the primary reason overall revenues declined year over year.
Connectivity weakness also remains a headwind, while macroeconomic uncertainty, evolving trade policies and geopolitical developments could affect customer spending and supply-chain conditions. Meanwhile, the pending Skyworks Solutions transaction has reduced operating visibility. Management has suspended quarterly conference calls and detailed forward guidance until the transaction is completed, making it more difficult for investors to evaluate near-term business trends.
These factors suggest that although operational execution has improved, additional upside may depend on stronger demand across mobile markets and greater clarity surrounding the pending transaction.
Can Qorvo Sustain Margin Expansion?One of the strongest arguments supporting the stock is the company's emphasis on structural profitability improvements rather than relying solely on revenue growth. Management continues to expect non-GAAP gross margin above 50% throughout fiscal 2027 while focusing on improving business mix, reducing capital intensity and enhancing operating efficiency. It also raised its expectation for fiscal 2027 non-GAAP earnings to above $7.00 per share, reflecting confidence that recent profitability gains can continue.
If Qorvo maintains its focus on higher-value products and disciplined execution, margin expansion could remain sustainable even if smartphone demand recovers gradually. Continued improvements in capital efficiency would also provide additional financial flexibility over time.
How the Zacks Rank Fits QRVO's OutlookQorvo currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), supported by a Value Score of A and Momentum Score of A, while its Growth Score of C indicates more moderate long-term growth expectations. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
The combination of a favorable Zacks Rank and strong Value and Momentum Scores suggests the stock offers an attractive blend of valuation and positive price trends. At the same time, the average Growth Score reinforces that investors should continue monitoring smartphone demand, customer concentration, macro conditions and the pending Skyworks transaction. These operational risks remain relevant even as profitability improves.
After an 11.6% gain over the past month, Qorvo appears fundamentally stronger than it did just a few quarters ago. Better earnings execution, expanding exposure to defense and infrastructure markets, and sustained margin improvement support a constructive outlook. Whether the rally continues, however, will likely depend on the company's ability to maintain those operational gains while navigating the uncertainties that still surround its core mobile business.

Presentation
Operator
Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Second Quarter 2026 Louisiana-Pacific Corporation Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is recorded.
I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Aaron Howald. Please go ahead.
Aaron Howald
Vice President of Investor Relations, Financial Planning & Analysis and Corporate Development
Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining LP Building Solutions to discuss our results for the second quarter of 2026, and our updated outlook for the remainder of the year. Hosting the call with me this morning are Jason Ringblom and Alan Haughie, who are LP's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. After prepared remarks, we will take a round of questions.
As always, during today's call, we will be referencing a presentation that has been posted online at investor.lpcorp.com. Our 8-K filing, earnings press release and other materials are also available there. Finally, today's discussion will contain forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financial metrics as described on Slides 2 and 3 of the earnings presentation. The appendix of that presentation also contains reconciliations that are further supplemented by
Viasat posouvá ViaSat-3 blíž ke komerčnímu provozu: Flight 2 dokončil veškeré testy na oběžné dráze a Flight 3 je po nasazení reflektoru a ramene v testování. Firma čeká, že nová kapacita podpoří letectví, námořní, firemní i vládní služby.
Key Takeaways Viasat is advancing ViaSat-3 toward commercial service with key deployment milestones completed.VSAT expects expanded capacity to support aviation, maritime, enterprise and government services.Viasat reported record awards and backlog, but customer adoption remains the key milestone. The next phase of Viasat's (VSAT - Free Report) ViaSat-3 constellation marks one of the company's most important operational milestones. As additional satellites move closer to commercial service, investors are evaluating whether the expanded network can accelerate growth across aviation, maritime, enterprise and government markets. While the technology promises meaningful long-term benefits, the pace of commercialization and customer adoption will ultimately determine whether ViaSat-3 becomes a major earnings driver.
Why ViaSat-3 Matters for ViasatThe ViaSat-3 program represents the foundation of Viasat's next-generation global satellite network. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, ViaSat-3 Flight 2 completed all bus in-orbit testing and is expected to enter commercial service by September 2026. Following quarter-end, Flight 3 completed reflector and boom deployment, entered in-orbit testing and remains on track for commercial service across the Asia-Pacific region in late August or early September 2026. These milestones significantly reduce deployment uncertainty and move the constellation closer to full commercial operation.
Management believes the additional satellite capacity, broader geographic coverage and flexible beamforming capabilities will improve network efficiency, customer experience and capital utilization while strengthening Viasat's ability to compete across multiple connectivity markets.
Where New Capacity Could Generate GrowthThe expanded ViaSat-3 network is expected to create growth opportunities across several higher-value business segments. In aviation, additional bandwidth should enhance passenger connectivity while supporting airlines seeking more reliable in-flight internet services. Maritime customers may also benefit from improved multi-orbit connectivity through Viasat's NexusWave platform, which continues gaining commercial adoption. Enterprise customers could gain access to broader coverage and higher-capacity services, while government agencies may benefit from more resilient and flexible communications infrastructure.
Management also expects greater bandwidth availability, flexible beamforming and AI-driven network optimization to improve capacity utilization, lower effective airtime costs and allow network resources to be allocated more efficiently as customer demand evolves. These operational improvements could support higher-value services while improving returns on invested capital over time.
Execution Remains the Biggest VSAT TestAlthough deployment progress has been encouraging, launching satellites represents only the first step in realizing the investment opportunity. The larger challenge is successfully commercializing the expanded network. Investors will closely monitor customer adoption, capacity utilization, pricing, revenue conversion and profitability as ViaSat-3 enters service. Delays in customer onboarding or slower-than-expected monetization could postpone the financial benefits anticipated from the new constellation.
Competition also remains intense across satellite communications. Viasat competes with Iridium Communications Inc. (IRDM - Free Report) and AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (ASTS - Free Report) . Iridium continues to benefit from strong demand for its global L-band satellite network serving government, aviation and maritime customers. Meanwhile, AST SpaceMobile is developing a space-based cellular broadband network designed to deliver direct-to-device connectivity through partnerships with mobile network operators. As a result, Viasat must execute successfully while continuing to differentiate its services in an increasingly competitive industry.
How Government Demand Supports the StoryGovernment demand provides another important source of long-term growth beyond commercial broadband. During the first quarter, Viasat reported approximately $1.3 billion in company-wide awards and record backlog, supported by the next phase of the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global (PTS-G) program. Management also highlighted growing government SATCOM demand and its largest-ever government opportunity pipeline, reflecting increasing demand for resilient, multi-orbit communications architectures.
Executives believe future growth will increasingly come from integrated government communications, cybersecurity, tactical networking and advanced space technologies that combine commercial and national security capabilities. These businesses could provide a more diversified revenue base while complementing the commercial opportunities created by the ViaSat-3 constellation.
How the Zacks Rank Frames This OpportunityThe stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), reflecting a balanced investment outlook as Viasat enters the next phase of its satellite expansion. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.Viasat also has a Value Score of B, Growth Score of B, Momentum Score of F and VGM Score of B. The favorable Value and Growth Scores indicate reasonable valuation characteristics and improving long-term business prospects, while the VGM Score of B reflects a balanced combination of value and growth factors. However, the Momentum Score of F suggests weaker momentum characteristics under the Zacks methodology despite the stock's recent advance.
Overall, the successful rollout of the ViaSat-3 constellation has the potential to reshape Viasat's long-term growth profile by expanding capacity across higher-value commercial and government markets. However, commercialization, customer adoption and revenue conversion remain the critical milestones investors should monitor.
Snap-on za tři měsíce vzrostl o 10,5 % díky vyšším organickým tržbám, hrubé marži a ziskovosti. Zároveň se obchoduje za 20,4násobek forwardového zisku, blízko pětiletého maxima.
Key Takeaways Snap-on rose 10.5% in three months as organic sales, gross margin and earnings improved.Commercial & Industrial posted 11% organic growth and a record 16.8% operating margin.SNA trades at 20.4X forward earnings, near its five-year high, leaving less room for setbacks. Snap-on Incorporated (SNA - Free Report) has drawn renewed investor interest after a three-month advance, supported by improving operating momentum across several businesses. The latest quarter paired organic sales growth with higher gross margin and earnings growth.
The question is whether broader demand, productivity gains and product innovation can extend the run. A valuation near the top of the stock’s historical range leaves less room for execution setbacks.
Snap-on’s Business Mix Supports the RallyCommercial & Industrial led the second quarter with 11% organic sales growth. Demand improved across Asia Pacific and European hand tools, specialty torque and power tools, while activity in aviation, heavy-duty fleets and technical education also contributed.
The Tools Group generated 3% organic growth, and Repair Systems & Information posted a 0.7% organic gain. That mix reduces reliance on one customer group. Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (SWK - Free Report) offers a relevant comparison as a global tools and outdoor-products company. Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (LECO - Free Report) provides another industrial reference through its welding and automated joining solutions.
SNA’s Margin Gains Strengthen the Bull CaseHigher sales volume and Rapid Continuous Improvement savings lifted consolidated gross margin 90 basis points to 51.4%. Operating earnings before financial services increased to $268.9 million from $259.1 million, though the related margin eased 20 basis points to 21.8%.
Commercial & Industrial provided the clearest operating leverage. Its operating margin reached a record 16.8%, up 330 basis points, as operating earnings climbed 41.8%. The result shows how stronger demand and internal efficiency can translate into faster profit growth.
Snap-on’s Innovation Targets Faster PaybacksSnap-on is emphasizing products that help technicians complete difficult repairs faster without requiring large financial commitments. Management said quicker-payback products accounted for more than two-thirds of Tools Group growth in the quarter.
New offerings included a compact power ratchet, a digital torque wrench, specialized sockets and a swivel Torx impact set for confined spaces. The APOLLO diagnostic platform also extends intelligent diagnostics at a lower entry price, supported by Snap-on’s proprietary repair database.
SNA’s Valuation Leaves Less Room for ErrorSNA trades at 20.4X forward 12-month earnings, above the sub-industry’s 19.7X multiple and well above its five-year median of 14.6X. The current multiple is also close to the stock’s five-year high of 20.6X.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
That premium raises the cost of disappointment. Consolidated operating expenses rose to 29.6% of sales from 28.5%, while Tools Group and Repair Systems & Information margins declined. Weak tool-storage demand, lower financing originations and cautious spending on large-ticket products remain additional constraints.
SNA’s Signals Point to Measured ExpectationsSnap-on’s operating breadth and margin progress support the growth case, but the valuation already reflects substantial confidence. Continued gains may require sustained Commercial & Industrial momentum and better conversion of technology and personnel spending into revenue.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Its Momentum Score of C is better than its Value Score of D, Growth Score of D and VGM Score of D. The combination points to a measured near-term stance: recent price performance is firmer than the stock’s value and growth characteristics, while the Hold rank suggests investors may prefer to await a clearer earnings-revision signal.

AppLovin stock is showing downward pressure. What’s ahead for APP stock? AppLovin Steps Into Q2 Earnings After a Standout First QuarterAnalysts are looking for earnings of $3.75 per share on revenue of $1.94 billion when results land after the bell, a bar that would represent a substantial leap from the $2.39 per share and $1.26 billion the company delivered in the comparable period a year ago.
The company’s own second-quarter guidance of $1.92 billion to $1.95 billion in revenue and $1.62 billion to $1.65 billion in adjusted EBITDA places the consensus estimate comfortably within the range management said it expected to achieve, reducing the likelihood of a guidance-driven miss.
The prior quarter laid a strong foundation for those expectations. Revenue of $1.84 billion outpaced the $1.77 billion estimate while earnings of $3.56 per share topped the $3.38 consensus, with the top line expanding 59% from the same period a year earlier. Both cash flow from operations and free cash flow landed at $1.30 billion for the period, a figure that speaks to the company’s capacity to translate revenue into cash efficiently.
APP’s Bounce Attempt Is Fighting The Trend, Not The HeadlinesWith markets open, the setup looks technical rather than headline‑driven. APP is trying to stabilize after its July swing low even though Communication Services is the weakest group today. That kind of divergence can be an early sign of accumulation, but it can also be a simple reflex rally, especially with the broader trend still leaning bearish.
The stock is 13.4% below its 50‑day SMA and 18.6% below its 200‑day SMA, and the March death cross remains an overhead structure that often turns rebounds into selling opportunities. Momentum is muted. RSI at 45.22 is neutral, which fits a market still searching for sustained upside pressure after the July low.
Near‑term signals are tighter. APP is sitting about 1.6% below its 20‑day SMA, which makes the next few sessions important for determining whether this is a base or just a pause before another leg lower. A move back above the 50‑day area would be the first meaningful step toward repairing the intermediate trend. Until that happens, rebounds can stay choppy and fade quickly.
Key resistance: $492.00 — This is the nearby ceiling where recent rebounds have stalled. Key support: $418.50 — This is the floor buyers have defended during the current consolidation. APP Shares Are Edging LowerAPP Price Action: Applovin shares were down 0.10% at $419.29 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro.

CEG’s Earnings Surprise HistoryConstellation Energy’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, missed one, delivering an average surprise of 3.27%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
What Our Quantitative Model PredictsOur proven model doesn’t predict a likely earnings beat for Constellation Energy this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: The company’s Earnings ESP is -0.39%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Currently, Constellation Energy carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Stocks Worth a LookSome companies in the same sector that have the right combination of the two factors for an earnings beat this season are National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (NESR - Free Report) , Calumet Inc. (CLMT - Free Report) and Sempra Energy (SRE - Free Report) . NESR, CLMT and SRE have an Earnings ESP of +7.80%, +169.57% and +0.79%, respectively. NESR currently sports a Zacks Rank #1, CLMT currently has a Zacks Rank #2 and SRE carries a Zacks Rank #3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Factors Likely to Have Impacted CEG’s Q2 PerformanceConstellation Energy’s second-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from rising electricity demand from data centers, supported by its highly efficient nuclear fleet and diversified power generation portfolio.
The company has been strengthening its renewable energy portfolio alongside the nuclear assets, enhancing the diversity of the generation mix and supporting long-term growth. The commercial launch of the 460-MW Pin Oak Creek Energy Center during the second quarter and the commissioning of the 105-MW Pastoria Solar Project in April are likely to have provided an incremental boost to earnings. Contribution from the acquired Calpine assets is also expected to have boosted second-quarter performance.
The company continues to benefit from long-term power purchase agreements with leading technology companies, providing a stable and predictable revenue stream. These agreements are expected to have supported bottom-line growth in the second quarter.
Additionally, the company's ongoing share repurchase program is expected to have boosted shareholder value and contributed to second-quarter earnings growth by reducing the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period.
CEG Stock’s Price PerformanceIn the past six months, the stock has gained 8.5% compared with the industry’s growth of 3.7%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
CEG Stock Trading at a DiscountConstellation Energy is trading at a discount relative to the industry, with a forward 12-month price-to-earnings of 21.28X compared with the industry average of 23.09X.
Net Profit MarginNet profit margin measures how efficiently a company converts revenues into profit after all expenses, offering insight into its overall profitability and financial health.
CEG’s net profit margin is 10.86X lower than its industry peer level of 14.29X.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Investment Consideration for CEGConstellation Energy’s extensive carbon-free generation fleet, combined with the integrated energy supply and risk management capabilities, positions it to capitalize on rising electricity demand, drive revenue growth and support the transition to a cleaner energy future.
The company’s continued investments in customer-centric energy solutions, including carbon-free and renewable energy certificates, are expected to have generated solid returns, enhanced stakeholder value and helped customers achieve emissions reduction targets while optimizing energy costs.
Additionally, Constellation Energy’s strategic investments and the expansion of its generation portfolio through new natural gas and solar assets are expected to have supported earnings growth, with this positive momentum likely continuing into the second quarter.
Summing UpConstellation Energy's second-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from rising data center power demand, supported by its efficient nuclear fleet and diversified generation portfolio.
However, given CEG’s net margin is lower than industry peers, prospective investors may be better off waiting for a more attractive entry point before initiating a position.
Inspire Medical Systems zvýšila hrubou marži na 85,5 %, ale proplácení a prior authorization dál brzdí výkony; druhé čtvrtletí tak přišlo asi o 40 mil. USD tržeb.
Key Takeaways Inspire's long-term case rests on a $10B-plus U.S. market with penetration still below 5%.Coding, authorization delays and uneven Medicare payments cut second-quarter revenue by about $40M.Inspire V lifted gross margin to 85.5%, while $320.7M in cash and no debt add financial flexibility. Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (INSP - Free Report) offers investors a difficult trade-off. Its underpenetrated obstructive sleep apnea market, improving margins and financial flexibility support the long-term case.
Near-term execution remains less certain. Coding changes, prior-authorization delays and inconsistent Medicare reimbursement continue to restrain procedure volumes, making patience more appropriate than an aggressive entry.
Inspire’s Market Opportunity Remains LargeManagement estimates the U.S. opportunity at more than $10 billion, with market penetration below 5%. More than 140,000 patients have received Inspire therapy, while over 1,500 physicians perform implants.
That adoption base leaves substantial room for expansion if access improves. ResMed Inc. (RMD - Free Report) , a major provider of continuous positive airway pressure therapy, also serves the large sleep apnea market, underscoring both the demand opportunity and established competition.
INSP’s Balance Sheet Supports PatienceInspire ended the second quarter with $320.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The company had no debt, limiting near-term balance-sheet pressure during the reimbursement disruption.
Operating cash flow reached $36.1 million in the first half of 2026, compared with cash use of $4 million a year earlier. This liquidity gives Inspire room to fund patient-access programs, commercial execution and research.
Inspire V Improves the Economic ModelInspire V represented the large majority of second-quarter implants and helped lift gross margin to 85.5%, up 150 basis points year over year. Its integrated respiratory sensor simplifies the implant procedure.
CMS has proposed raising 2027 Medicare facility reimbursement by about 12% for hospital outpatient procedures and 15% for ambulatory surgery centers. Those increases could improve procedure economics, but final rates are expected in November 2026.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
INSP’s Growth Case Still Has FrictionCoding and reimbursement disruption, including the WISeR prior-authorization program in six Medicare pilot states, reduced second-quarter revenues by about $40 million. Management expects a $120-$130 million full-year revenue impact.
Two Medicare Administrative Contractors still require a reduced-services modifier, creating uneven surgeon payments. Eli Lilly and Company (LLY - Free Report) adds another variable because Zepbound is approved for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity, potentially affecting treatment sequencing.
Inspire’s Valuation Balances Risk and OpportunityINSP trades at roughly 2.1X forward sales, below the sub-industry multiple of 5.1X and its five-year median of 7.1X. The discount recognizes the company’s weaker near-term growth visibility.
A durable re-rating likely requires improving U.S. procedure trends, more consistent reimbursement and evidence that patient-flow investments are converting demand into implants. Until then, the lower multiple alone does not remove execution risk.
INSP’s Scores Point to a HoldThe bottom line is that margin improvement, liquidity and a large addressable market support holding INSP, while reimbursement uncertainty limits the case for buying aggressively now.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Its Growth Score of B and VGM Score of B recognize favorable growth characteristics, while its Value Score of C and Momentum Score of C indicate a more balanced setup. The scores support waiting for clearer operating momentum before taking a stronger view. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Comfort Systems ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšil hrubou marži na 25,9 % a provozní marži na 17,1 %. Rekordní backlog na 14,1 mld. USD vzrostl meziročně o 73 % a zlepšuje viditelnost výnosů.
Key Takeaways Comfort Systems lifted gross margin to 25.9% and operating margin to 17.1% in the second quarter.A record $14.1 billion backlog, up 73%, supports revenue visibility and selective project bidding.FIX benefits from strong demand in technology infrastructure, modular construction and data centers. Comfort Systems USA (FIX - Free Report) has consistently distinguished itself through superior execution, and its second-quarter 2026 results suggest that margin expansion remains a core competitive advantage rather than a temporary phenomenon. Gross margin improved 240 basis points year over year to 25.9%, while operating margin expanded to 17.1% from 13.8%. Adjusted EBITDA margin also increased to 18.4%, reflecting a combination of disciplined project selection, pricing strength and operational excellence.
The company's execution has been broad-based. Mechanical segment gross margin rose to 25.6% from 22.9% a year ago, while Electrical segment margin improved to 26.4% from 25.3%. Management noted that excluding unusual gains recognized in the first quarter, second-quarter gross margin actually improved sequentially from 25.2% to 25.9%, highlighting that underlying profitability continues to strengthen. It also expects gross margins to remain within the strong range achieved in recent quarters.
Several structural factors support this outlook. Demand remains exceptionally strong in technology infrastructure and modular construction, where Comfort Systems continues to secure projects with attractive pricing and favorable working conditions. The company ended the quarter with a record $14.1 billion backlog, up 73% year over year, providing excellent revenue visibility and allowing management to remain selective when bidding projects. Meanwhile, SG&A declined as a percentage of revenue to 8.8% despite continued investments in people and innovation, demonstrating meaningful operating leverage.
While labor availability, material inflation and execution risks remain industry-wide challenges, Comfort Systems' pricing discipline, experienced workforce and exposure to mission-critical projects position it well to sustain industry-leading margins over the foreseeable future.
Comfort Systems vs. Its Closest Engineering RivalsComfort Systems competes closely with EMCOR Group (EME - Free Report) and Quanta Services (PWR - Free Report) across mission-critical construction, electrical and mechanical contracting and large-scale infrastructure projects.
EMCOR has consistently demonstrated strong execution and healthy margins, supported by its diversified portfolio spanning industrial, network and facility services. However, EMCOR has relatively broader end-market exposure, while Comfort Systems benefits from a greater concentration in fast-growing data centers, AI infrastructure and modular construction, which currently command attractive pricing and support higher profitability. EMCOR also has a smaller presence in modular manufacturing, an area where Comfort Systems continues to expand aggressively.
Quanta, meanwhile, derives much of its revenues from electric transmission, utility infrastructure and renewable energy projects. Although Quanta benefits from the long-term electrification trend, its project mix generally carries lower margins than Comfort Systems' technology-driven mechanical and electrical construction business. Quanta also has less exposure to factory-built modular solutions that are becoming increasingly important in AI and hyperscale data center development. While both EMCOR and Quanta remain high-quality engineering contractors, Comfort Systems' disciplined bidding, exceptional project execution and favorable customer mix provide a stronger foundation for sustaining industry-leading margins.
FIX Stock’s Price Performance & Valuation TrendShares of this Texas-based heating, ventilation, air conditioning and electrical contracting service provider have surged 90.3% year to date, outperforming the Zacks Building Products - Air Conditioner and Heating industry, the Zacks Construction sector and the S&P 500 Index.

Commercial Metals na Investor Day cílí na core EBITDA ve výši 1,65 až 1,8 miliardy USD do fiskálního roku 2029 a chce zvýšit podíl Construction Solutions nad 40 %.
Commercial Metals Stock Price Poised to Slingshot Higher in Q3Commercial Metals NYSE: CMC used its 2026 Investor Day to outline a strategy centered on expanding its early-stage construction offerings, improving operating performance and generating higher cash flow and returns by fiscal 2029.
President and CEO Peter Matt said the company is evolving from a steel-focused business into a diversified supplier of early-stage construction solutions, with more than 90% of its products used from construction planning through structural framing. The company operates North America Steel, Europe Steel and Construction Solutions segments.
Get Commercial Metals alerts:
3 Discounted Steel Stocks You Can DCA Into TodayCMC reported revenue of $8.8 billion and EBITDA of $1.3 billion, according to Matt. Construction Solutions currently represents 28% of adjusted, or core, EBITDA, and CMC aims to increase that contribution to more than 40% over the next three years, including potential acquisitions not included in its financial targets.
2029 Financial Targets The company introduced mid-cycle fiscal 2029 targets that assume a stable operating environment, a 25% tariff at the low end of the range and no additional acquisitions. CMC is targeting core EBITDA of $1.65 billion to $1.8 billion, representing a 10% to 13% compound annual growth rate from trailing-12-month EBITDA.
Core EBITDA of $1.65 billion to $1.8 billion by fiscal 2029. Free cash flow, defined as EBITDA less capital expenditures, of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion. Return on invested capital of 13% to 14.5%. Construction Solutions EBITDA of about $500 million from existing assets. Cleveland-Cliffs Stock Rises On Earnings, New Momentum? CFO Paul Lawrence said the projected free-cash-flow increase would be driven by both earnings growth and the end of the company’s major mill investment cycle. He said CMC expects capital expenditures associated with its West Virginia mill to decline significantly in coming quarters. The company expects the free-cash-flow ramp to begin in fiscal 2027.
Lawrence also said CMC’s board increased its share repurchase authorization by $600 million. The company intends to execute the authorization during the three-year financial-target period while continuing to pay dividends and pursue growth investments.
TAG Program Targets Cost, Commercial Improvements Senior Vice President of Operational and Commercial Excellence Ty Garrison described CMC’s Transform, Advance, Grow, or TAG, program as an enterprise-wide operating system rather than a one-time cost-cutting initiative. The program is intended to standardize best practices, improve productivity and strengthen commercial discipline.
CMC expects TAG to deliver more than $250 million in gross run-rate EBITDA benefits by the end of fiscal 2026 and more than $350 million by the end of fiscal 2027. Management said approximately $200 million of that amount is expected to represent durable margin improvement after accounting for inflation.
Examples cited by Garrison included a scrap optimization initiative using artificial intelligence and proprietary operational data that has generated more than $20 million in annual run-rate savings. The company also cited fabrication improvements, including increased tons per truckload and improved rebar yield.
Garrison said the company has avoided more than $180 million of capital spending since implementing a more centralized capital-planning process, a new capital-expenditure platform and a capital investment committee.
Steel Network and Construction Solutions Growth North America Steel Group Senior Vice President Brian Halloran said CMC’s Arizona and West Virginia micro mills will complete the company’s nationwide mill network. Management said it does not expect to need another mill after those projects are fully ramped.
Halloran said the steel business is benefiting from industry consolidation, trade actions and a “value over volume” commercial approach. CMC said trade actions completed or underway address more than 80% of rebar imports over the past five years, representing about 1 million tons. The company also said it expects imports from South Korea to decline in the second half of the year based on the economics of bringing material into the U.S.
CMC is targeting more than $130 million of identified run-rate savings opportunities in its mill operations and more than $30 million of commercial benefits. Halloran said its fabrication initiative, called Fab Full Potential, is designed to double the business’s through-cycle performance through improved execution, standalone returns and risk-management tools.
In Construction Solutions, the company highlighted its recently acquired precast operations, CP&P and Foley Products. Precast Group Senior Vice President Keith Haas said the combined business has 35 plants and leading positions in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. CMC expects $30 million to $40 million of gross run-rate synergies from the acquisitions by the end of the third year.
Haas said precast expands CMC’s addressable market by $20 billion and offers a lower-capital-intensity business with durable pricing, higher margins and high cash conversion. The company is pursuing targeted growth investments in Colorado, Florida and the Mid-Atlantic dry-utilities market.
Senior Vice President Mike Doucet said CMC’s Emerging Businesses Group generated $809 million in revenue, up 12% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA of $155 million, up more than 19%. The portfolio includes Tensar geogrid products, corrosion-resistant reinforcing steel and construction services. CMC is commissioning a second geogrid line in Oklahoma and plans to commission a second GalvaBar facility in Tennessee this fall.
Matt said CMC’s focus remains on executing its transformation, using disciplined acquisitions to expand existing early-stage construction capabilities and divesting assets that no longer fit its strategy when market conditions are appropriate.

What this transaction means for investorsThe headline number on this Cactus insider sale is attention-grabbing, but the details are considerably less dramatic.
The sale was pre-scheduled and non-discretionary, and the structure is a common way for insiders to hold their stakes: through partnership units that must first be converted into common stock before they can be sold. Nothing here suggests a deliberate market call.
The more interesting backdrop is the company's momentum. Cactus just reported Q2 2026 revenue of nearly $450 million, up 64% year over year, beating analyst estimates by more than 12%. The company manufactures wellheads, valves, and spoolable pipes used in oil and gas drilling, and has been executing well against a strong energy services environment.
For investors comfortable with the ups and downs of the energy sector, Cactus is the kind of company that tends to reward patience. It carries no debt, returns cash to shareholders regularly, and has been growing faster than analysts expected. The main variable to keep an eye on here is oil and gas drilling activity. When energy companies are spending, Cactus benefits. When they pull back, results do too.
Key Takeaways Spectrum Brands is expected to report 4.7% revenue growth and 20.2% EPS growth in Q3 FY26.Pet Care and Home & Garden momentum, innovation and wider distribution may have supported demand.Home & Personal Care likely remained a drag amid weak appliance demand, inflation and competitive pressure. Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (SPB - Free Report) is expected to register year-over-year growth in the top line when it reports third-quarter fiscal 2026 results on Aug. 7, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SPB’s revenues is pegged at $732.4 million, indicating a rise of 4.7% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus estimate for Spectrum Brands’ earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $1.49, indicating growth of 20.2% from the figure in the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for EPS has been stable in the past seven days.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 20.2%. SPB has recorded an earnings surprise of 85.04% in the trailing four quarters, on average.
Factors Likely to Influence SPB's Q3 ResultsSpectrum Brands’ fiscal third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from sustained momentum in its Global Pet Care and Home & Garden businesses, where management has consistently emphasized market-share gains, strong brand execution and a healthy innovation pipeline. The company’s strategy of concentrating investments behind its largest brands, supported by targeted marketing campaigns and consumer-focused product launches, appears to be resonating well across key categories. Continued traction in pet care products, coupled with expanding distribution, digital execution and new product innovation, may have helped sustain demand during the quarter, reinforcing SPB’s competitive positioning despite a still-cautious consumer backdrop.
Another likely tailwind for the quarter was Spectrum Brands’ continued focus on operational discipline and productivity initiatives. Management highlighted improvements in inventory planning, supply chain execution and enterprise resource planning implementation, which have enhanced efficiency while maintaining strong customer service levels. The company also indicated that pricing actions, cost-improvement programs and disciplined expense management were helping offset inflationary pressures and tariff-related costs. These operational initiatives, combined with prudent working capital management, were likely supportive of margins and overall profitability during the fiscal third quarter.
Spectrum Brands’ Home & Garden business also entered the quarter with encouraging fundamentals. Management pointed to healthy retailer inventory positions, continued market-share gains across flagship brands and strong merchandising support, including expanded display placements and consumer-focused innovation. The company also remained optimistic about demand trends in its seasonal categories while continuing to invest behind brand-building initiatives. These factors, together with the ongoing strength of its Pet Care portfolio and management’s disciplined commercial execution, likely provided meaningful support to overall business performance during the quarter.
On the other hand, Spectrum Brands’ Home & Personal Care segment likely remained a drag on fiscal third-quarter performance. Management continued to expect weak consumer demand for discretionary appliance products, particularly in North America and Europe, where shoppers have remained cautious amid higher product costs and competitive pressures. The company also anticipated lower sales volumes stemming from portfolio rationalization efforts, even as it focused on protecting profitability through pricing, cost controls and productivity measures. In addition, management remained watchful of broader macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures, which could have weighed on consumer spending and tempered overall performance during the quarter.

Stocks With the Favorable CombinationHere are some companies, which, according to our model, have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat:
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (FUN - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +6.90% and a Zacks Rank of 1. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
FUN’s earnings for the to-be-reported quarter are expected to increase 11.5%. FUN’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters and missed on two occasions, the negative average surprise being 48.9%.
Expedia Group, Inc. (EXPE - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +2.52% and a Zacks Rank of 3.
In the to-be-reported quarter, Expedia’s earnings are expected to surge 28.5%. Expedia’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 13.9%.
Cintas Corporation (CTAS - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +0.09% and a Zacks Rank #2. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings per share is pegged at $1.35, suggesting 12.5% year-over-year growth.
The consensus estimate for CTAS' quarterly revenues is pegged at $2.97 billion, which indicates an increase of 9.2% from the prior-year quarter’s actual. CTAS delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 1.8%, on average.
Plexus ve 3. fiskálním čtvrtletí překonal odhady díky silné poptávce: tržby vzrostly o 28,1 % na 1,305 miliardy USD a upravený zisk na akcii byl 2,32 USD. Firma ale ve fiskálním roce 2026 očekává záporný volný peněžní tok kvůli vyššímu provoznímu kapitálu.
Key Takeaways Plexus beat fiscal Q3 estimates as program ramps and industrial demand lifted sales, earnings and margins.PLXS secured 31 program wins worth $255 million annually, while its qualified funnel hit $4.5 billion.Plexus expects fiscal 2026 free cash flow usage as ramps drive working capital spending. Plexus Corp. (PLXS - Free Report) delivered a broad fiscal third-quarter beat as new program ramps and industrial demand lifted revenues, earnings and operating profitability.
The stronger outlook extends the growth runway into fiscal 2027. It also raises the near-term funding burden, making working-capital execution and free cash flow conversion central to the investment case.
Plexus Q3 Beat Was Broad-BasedFiscal third-quarter revenues increased 28.1% year over year to $1.305 billion and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.228 billion by 6.3%. Adjusted earnings of $2.32 per share topped the consensus mark of $2.10, producing a 10.5% surprise.
Gross profit rose 27.2% to $131.4 million. Adjusted operating margin expanded 30 basis points to 6.3%, showing that the revenue upside translated into higher profitability despite a 41.1% increase in selling and administrative expenses.
PLXS Program Wins Expand Revenue VisibilityPlexus secured 31 manufacturing program wins during the quarter. Those awards are expected to contribute $255 million in annualized revenues once fully ramped.
The qualified manufacturing funnel reached $4.5 billion, increasing 23% year over year and 12% sequentially. The pipeline offers a sizable pool of potential awards, although program timing and conversion remain execution variables.
Plexus Guidance Extends the Growth RunwayManagement expects fiscal fourth-quarter revenues of $1.33 billion to $1.38 billion. At the midpoint, the outlook implies a 4% sequential increase and 28% year-over-year growth, while non-GAAP earnings are projected at $2.47-$2.63 per share.
Plexus now expects fiscal 2026 revenue growth above 20% and adjusted operating margin above 6%. Fiscal 2027 revenue growth is projected to exceed its 9%-12% target, accompanied by further margin expansion.
PLXS Industrial and A&D Demand Lead the MixIndustrial revenues surged 41.9% year over year and 23% sequentially to $589 million, representing 45% of total revenues. Semiconductor capital equipment demand, broader industrial activity and expansion into data-center power infrastructure and energy-storage systems supported the segment.
Aerospace and Defense revenues increased 27.3% to $233 million, while Healthcare and Life Sciences advanced 15% to $483 million. Jabil Inc. (JBL - Free Report) offers a relevant industry read-through because it cited strong AI infrastructure demand in its fiscal third-quarter 2026 results and raised its full-year AI-related revenue outlook.
Sanmina Corporation (SANM - Free Report) provides another manufacturing comparison through its exposure to industrial and energy, medical, defense and aerospace, communications networks and cloud and AI infrastructure markets.
Plexus Working Capital Clouds the Near TermFaster program ramps require more inventory, capacity and working-capital investment. Management now anticipates fiscal 2026 free cash flow usage, reversing its earlier expectation for $50-$75 million of generation.
Fiscal third-quarter operating cash flow was $25.9 million, while capital expenditures of $26.6 million produced a $0.7 million free cash outflow. Fiscal 2026 capital spending is expected at $100-$120 million, with meaningful free cash flow generation anticipated early in fiscal 2027.
PLXS Momentum Leads Its Mixed Style ProfileThe bottom line is that the earnings beat, expanding program pipeline and higher growth outlook strengthen Plexus’ operating case. Heavier investment raises cash-conversion risk and leaves less room for execution delays.
PLXS currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), pointing to a neutral near-term earnings-revision setup rather than a top-ranked buying signal. The ranking can support retaining an existing position, but the framework generally favors Zacks Rank #1 or #2 stocks for new purchases.
The stock has a Momentum Score of A, reflecting favorable price-trend characteristics. Its Value Score of C, Growth Score of D and VGM Score of D provide weaker support across valuation, growth quality and the combined style profile, keeping cash flow execution in focus.

Akcie Hyatt za měsíc klesly o 10,1 %, protože se snížily odhady zisku pro rok 2026. Ve 2. čtvrtletí 2026 ale RevPAR vzrostl o 5,9 % a hrubé poplatky o 7,8 % na 324 milionů USD.
Key Takeaways Hyatt shares fell 10.1% in a month as 2026 earnings estimates declined and regional concerns grew.Second-quarter RevPAR rose 5.9%, while gross fees climbed 7.8% to $324 million.H trades below the hotel sub-industry on sales, but above its five-year median valuation. Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H - Free Report) shares have declined 10.1% in the past month, making the recent pullback hard to ignore. The drop has improved the entry point, but it does not automatically make the stock inexpensive.
Investors must balance resilient premium demand and fee growth against weaker regional trends, delayed openings and a valuation that still sits above Hyatt's historical median.
Why Hyatt Shares Lost GroundEarnings estimates for 2026 declined during the past 30 days. That shift can pressure sentiment because estimate revisions are a central input in the market's assessment of near-term earnings potential.
Hyatt also identified weaker conditions in the Middle East, Mexico and its Distribution segment. These developments may have added to investor caution, although the available information does not establish them as the direct cause of the stock's decline.
Premium Demand Still Supports HyattComparable system-wide hotel revenue per available room, or RevPAR, increased 5.9% year over year in the second quarter of 2026. Leisure transient RevPAR rose about 7%, group RevPAR advanced more than 7% and business transient RevPAR increased roughly 2%.
Management raised its 2026 system-wide hotel RevPAR growth outlook to 3.5%-4.5%. The higher range suggests Hyatt's core lodging business retains momentum despite uneven regional conditions.
Hyatt's Fee Model Offers ResilienceGross fees rose 7.8% to $324 million, while management and franchising adjusted EBITDA increased to $266 million from $238 million. Hyatt's expanding system and long-term management and franchise agreements can support recurring earnings with less dependence on owned real estate.
The broader hotel group is pursuing similar capital-light growth. Marriott International, Inc. (MAR - Free Report) ended the first quarter with a record pipeline of nearly 618,000 rooms, while Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (HLT - Free Report) reported 6.1% net unit growth in the second quarter. Hyatt's 154,000-room pipeline keeps it in the same industry race for owner and developer demand.
Risks That Could Keep H Under PressureMiddle East weakness is expected to reduce full-year fees by about $10 million. A slower all-inclusive recovery in Mexico could cut fees by another $15 million compared with Hyatt's prior outlook.
Distribution adjusted EBITDA is projected to decline approximately $25 million in 2026. Hyatt also expects more than half of this year's openings in the fourth quarter, and some projects could move into early 2027.
Valuation Shapes the Hyatt OpportunityH trades at 2.18X forward 12-month sales, below the hotel sub-industry's 2.61X multiple. The discount offers some relative support after the recent decline.
The stock remains above its five-year median of 1.92X, however. Continued RevPAR gains, fee growth and timely hotel openings are needed to justify that premium to Hyatt's own trading history.
What H's Rank and Style Scores SignalThe pullback creates a better setup, but Hyatt's operating strengths and execution risks remain closely balanced. The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which supports patience rather than an aggressive response to the decline.
Hyatt has a Momentum Score of A and a Growth Score of B, signaling favorable price and growth characteristics. Its Value Score of D warns that the shares are not clearly inexpensive. The VGM Score of B is constructive, but the Hold rank suggests investors may want clearer estimate and execution support before treating the decline as a buying opportunity.

Conagra pro fiskální rok 2027 čeká pokles organických čistých tržeb o 1 % až 3 % a zisk na akcii 1,40 až 1,50 USD. Firma zároveň snížila dividendu o 50 % a uvolní tak asi 335 milionů USD ročně.
Key Takeaways Conagra expects sales to fall 1%-3%, with EPS of $1.40-$1.50 and margins of 10%-10.5%.CAG's price hikes may aid margins, but frozen-food elasticity could deepen mid-single-digit volume declines. Conagra cut its dividend 50%, freeing $335 million yearly for debt, brands and supply-chain upgrades. Conagra Brands, Inc. (CAG - Free Report) is entering fiscal 2027 with a plan to raise prices while input costs remain elevated. The strategy is designed to protect profitability after inflation and volume-focused investments compressed margins.
The key test is whether pricing can stabilize earnings without driving a sharper decline in unit demand, especially in frozen foods where management expects unusually high elasticity.

Conagra Enters Fiscal 2027 With Lower TargetsConagra expects fiscal 2027 organic net sales to decline 1%-3%. Adjusted operating margin is projected at 10%-10.5%, while adjusted earnings are forecast at $1.40-$1.50 per share.
Those targets mark a reset from fiscal 2026, when adjusted operating margin was 11.3% and adjusted earnings were $1.72 per share. The outlook shows that pricing and productivity are unlikely to fully offset inflation, investment spending and weaker volumes in the near term.
CAG’s Pricing Push Raises Elasticity RiskManagement is shifting toward profitable growth after concluding that its earlier emphasis on volume came at too high a cost to margins. Strategic, inflation-justified pricing will focus heavily on frozen products, where profitability has faced the most pressure.
The trade-off is demand. Conagra expects volumes to fall at a mid-single-digit rate and has assumed larger-than-historical elasticities in frozen. Higher prices may support price/mix, but they could also reduce household purchases and weaken retailer movement before brand investments gain traction.
Inflation Keeps Conagra’s Margins Under StrainFourth-quarter inflation, including core inflation and gross tariffs, was about 6.5%. Beef, edible oils, crude oil and logistics remained key cost pressures, while lower internal production volumes created unfavorable operating leverage.
Fiscal 2027 guidance assumes inflation, including the tariff wrap, of roughly 5%-6%. Conagra also expects about $40 million of expense tied to prior tariff mitigation. Oil, logistics and tariff pressure should be heavier in the first quarter, when adjusted operating margin is expected in the high single digits.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
CAG’s Dividend Cut Supports Cash PreservationConagra reduced its annualized dividend 50% to 70 cents per share. The move is expected to generate about $335 million of additional discretionary cash each year for debt reduction, brand support and supply-chain modernization.
Cash preservation matters because capital expenditures are projected to rise to about $550 million from $423 million in fiscal 2026. Net leverage ended fiscal 2026 at 3.83 times and is expected near four times in fiscal 2027, limiting flexibility despite the lower payout.
Conagra’s Better Categories Could Cushion the ResetFrozen consumption volume increased 3% in the fourth quarter, while snacks dollar consumption rose 1.9%. Volume-share gains in frozen meals, frozen vegetables and meat snacks indicate that parts of the portfolio can still respond to innovation and merchandising support.
Conagra plans to raise advertising and promotion spending 14%, with frozen meals and meat snacks among the priorities. General Mills, Inc. (GIS - Free Report) is likewise investing to improve brand relevance and organic growth, while The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC - Free Report) continues to reshape operations around growth priorities. That industry backdrop raises the execution bar for Conagra.
CAG’s Weak Rank Offsets Solid Style ScoresPricing may ease some margin pressure, but the fiscal 2027 reset leaves limited room for execution errors. Volume sensitivity, persistent inflation and elevated leverage support a cautious view until profitability begins to stabilize.
CAG currently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), reflecting unfavorable near-term earnings estimate revisions. Its Value Score of B, Growth Score of B and VGM Score of B provide some support, but the Momentum Score of C and the weak rank remain more important for near-term timing.

Planet Fitness čeká ve 2. čtvrtletí EPS 85 centů, tedy pokles o 1,2 % meziročně, zatímco tržby mají vzrůst o 4,4 % na 355,8 mil. USD. Výsledky mohou tlumit slabší přírůstky členů a pauza ve zvyšování ceny Black Card.
Key Takeaways PLNT's Q2 EPS is projected to decline 1.2% YoY to 85 cents, while revenues are seen up 4.4% to $355.8M.PLNT may benefit from replacement equipment sales, new clubs and a favorable Black Card membership mix.Softer member joins, elevated attrition and the Black Card price pause may weigh on Q2 results. Planet Fitness, Inc. (PLNT - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 6.
PLNT’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 10.6%.
Trend in Estimate Revision of PLNTThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at 85 cents, indicating a fall of 1.2% from 86 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $355.8 million, suggesting growth of 4.4% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
Let's look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors Likely to Shape PLNT’s Quarterly ResultsPlanet Fitness’ second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from existing membership pricing, a favorable Black Card mix, recently opened clubs and replacement equipment sales. This and contributions from the corporate clubs are likely to have aided the company’s top line in the quarter to be reported. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for corporate-owned club revenues is pegged at $146.1 million compared with $138.9 million reported in the prior-year quarter.
Emphasis on equipment mix is likely to have aided the company’s performance in the second quarter. Planet Fitness expects the quarter to account for approximately 30% of its full-year replacement equipment revenues. Continued re-equipment demand across the franchise system is likely to have supported quarterly performance.
However, softer join trends, continued attrition pressure and the decision to pause the nationwide Black Card price increase are likely to have weighed on quarterly performance. Member joins remained below expectations through March and early April, while monthly attrition is expected to remain in the upper half of 3-4% range.
Competitive pressure in the South Central and Southeast regions, along with financial strain among lower-income consumers, may have presented additional challenges. The absence of the planned Black Card price increase and weaker net member growth are likely to have constrained same-club sales growth in the quarter under review.
