Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in gene expression on chromosome 15 that affects about 10,000 patients in the United States. The disease is characterized by neurological, behavioral, and metabolic dysfunction. Its defining feature is hyperphagia, a chronic, life-threatening condition marked by a persistent hunger that drives compulsive food-seeking behavior. Individuals with PWS also commonly experience cognitive impairment and a range of psychiatric and behavioral challenges. Together, these symptoms can severely diminish quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families, with hyperphagia driving significant morbidity and mortality.
Neurocrine initially announced the transaction – representing a total equity value of $2.9 billion – on April 6, 2026.
Transaction Details
Neurocrine completed the cash tender offer through a subsidiary for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Soleno at a purchase price of $53.00 per share, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding taxes.
As of the tender offer expiration at one minute after 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 15, 2026, 46,356,114 shares of Soleno common stock were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 88.9% of the total number of Soleno's issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of such date and time. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, all such shares have been accepted for payment.
Following its acceptance of the tendered shares, Neurocrine completed its acquisition of Soleno through the merger of a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Neurocrine with and into Soleno, pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law on May 18, 2026, with Soleno continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Neurocrine.

About PWS
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in gene expression on chromosome 15. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association USA estimates that PWS occurs in one in every 15,000 live births. The defining symptom of PWS is hyperphagia, a chronic and life-threatening condition characterized by an intense persistent sensation of hunger accompanied by food preoccupations, an extreme drive to consume food, food-related behavior problems, and a lack of normal satiety, which can severely diminish the quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families. Hyperphagia can lead to significant mortality (e.g., stomach rupture, choking, accidental death due to food-seeking behavior) and longer-term comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

Clinician survey showed 90% of patients with mild tardive dyskinesia experienced emotional, social or physical impairment Following initiation of INGREZZA, 96% of patients with mild tardive dyskinesia showed clinician-reported improvement in uncontrolled movements; of those patients, 86% improved within 4 weeks Reductions in involuntary movements with INGREZZA treatment were associated with improvements in overall functional status, independence, activities of daily living and ability to work , /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the presentation of new data from a clinician survey highlighting the functional impact experienced by patients with mild tardive dyskinesia (TD) severity and the impact of treatment with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules in a real-world setting. In a subgroup analysis, nearly all patients with clinician-reported mild TD treated with INGREZZA experienced fewer uncontrolled movements, with most demonstrating symptom improvement within four weeks. Patients also showed widespread improvements in functional status, independence, ability to perform daily activities and ability to work. The findings are being presented at the American Psychiatric Association 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place May 16-20 in San Francisco.
"A growing body of evidence shows that even tardive dyskinesia identified as mild in severity can meaningfully disrupt patients' daily functioning, impacting their physical, social and emotional well-being," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "These real-world results complement previously published patient-reported data highlighting both the functional impact of mild involuntary movements and the potential benefits of INGREZZA treatment. INGREZZA has been shown to improve tardive dyskinesia and associated functional outcomes that can help patients reclaim their independence and resume everyday activities."
The analysis was based on a previously conducted clinician survey of patient chart data and clinician recall evaluating TD symptoms, functional impairment and improvement following treatment with INGREZZA. The survey included adult patients with TD who initiated INGREZZA between January 1, 2024 and June 30, 2024, completed at least two months of treatment and had at least one follow-up visit. In total, 128 clinicians caring for 315 patients with TD on INGREZZA reported data.
This analysis focused on a subgroup of patients (n=90) with mild movement severity as rated by clinicians using global severity categories aligned with the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale. Prior to treatment, clinicians reported that mild TD movements impacted functional status in 90% of patients and independence in 84% of patients, with commonly affected areas including emotional (88%), social (86%), speech (61%), dexterity (60%) and eating (56%) functions.
Following the initiation of INGREZZA, nearly all patients (96%) with mild TD experienced clinician-reported improvements in uncontrolled movements. Of those patients, 86% improved in four weeks or less. Beyond improvements in uncontrolled movements, clinicians observed meaningful functional improvements across a range of daily life domains among patients with mild TD:
For patients with impacted functional status (n=81), almost all (96%) had improvement in overall functional status. Across all functional items, clinicians reported improvement in more than 90% of impacted patients, including those with impacted speech (n=55), dexterity (n=54), social status (n=77), emotional status (n=79) and activities of daily living, such as eating (n=50) and self-care (n=44). Among all patients, 83% (n=75/90) achieved improvement in independence with treatment. Among patients who were employed or attending school, 70% (n=21/30) experienced improved willingness or ability to work or attend school after initiating treatment. Findings from this survey and subpopulation analysis support the American Psychiatric Association clinical guidelines, which state that treatment with a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor can be considered for patients with mild TD based on associated impairment or patient preference. This research adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the benefits of INGREZZA in patients with TD, including those with mild movements. In clinical studies, including the Phase 4 KINECT-PRO™ study, INGREZZA has been shown to improve TD severity and patients have reported reductions in the physical, social and emotional burden of the condition. Together, these real-world and clinical data highlight the potential of INGREZZA to improve movements and associated functional outcomes in patients with TD, including those with mild involuntary movements prior to treatment.
About Tardive Dyskinesia
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that is characterized by uncontrolled, abnormal and repetitive movements of the face, torso and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact patients. The condition is associated with taking certain kinds of mental health medicines (antipsychotics) that help control dopamine receptors in the brain. Taking antipsychotics commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and other prescription medicines (metoclopramide and prochlorperazine) used to treat gastrointestinal disorders are associated with TD. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be mild to severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 800,000 adults in the U.S.
About the KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4 Study
The KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4, open-label study was designed to evaluate patient-reported outcomes on the use of INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules in a tardive dyskinesia (TD) patient population reflective of real-world clinical practice. Participants had at least mild TD, were aware of and experiencing at least mild distress from their abnormal, involuntary movements and had a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder or major depression. The KINECT-PRO study included a four-week screening period, a 24-week treatment period during which participants received 40 mg of INGREZZA once-daily for the first four weeks, followed by flexible dosing of 40 mg, 60 mg or 80 mg once-daily based on individual treatment needs and a two-week safety follow-up period. Baseline socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were broadly similar to those of the KINECT® 3 and KINECT® 4 studies.
KINECT-PRO is the first and only study to specifically evaluate and demonstrate patient-reported improvement with vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor treatment on TD using multiple clinically validated scales, including the Tardive Dyskinesia Impact Scale (TDIS™). The TDIS is the only patient-reported outcome instrument designed for and validated in tardive dyskinesia patients that measures the physical, social and emotional impact of the involuntary movements of the condition.
About INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules and INGREZZA® SPRINKLE (valbenazine) Capsules
INGREZZA is a selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with tardive dyskinesia and the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD). Only INGREZZA offers a therapeutic dose from day one with no required titration.
INGREZZA, developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, selectively inhibits VMAT2 with no appreciable binding affinity for VMAT1, dopaminergic (including D2), serotonergic, adrenergic, histaminergic or muscarinic receptors. While the specific way INGREZZA works to treat TD and HD chorea is not fully understood, INGREZZA is unique in that it selectively and specifically targets VMAT2 to inhibit the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control movement. INGREZZA is believed to reduce extra dopamine signaling, which may lead to fewer uncontrollable movements.
INGREZZA is studied across the widest range of patients. It is always one capsule, once daily and can be taken together with most stable mental health regimens such as antipsychotics or antidepressants. Only INGREZZA offers the benefit of a sprinkle formulation, INGREZZA SPRINKLE, for those who experience dysphagia, have difficulty swallowing or prefer not to swallow a pill. INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE dosages approved for use are 40 mg, 60 mg and 80 mg capsules.

About Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare genetic condition that results in an enzyme deficiency that alters the production of adrenal steroid hormones, such as cortisol, aldosterone and adrenal androgens. Severe enzyme deficiency leads to an inability of the adrenal glands to produce enough cortisol and, in approximately 75% of cases, aldosterone. Because individuals with CAH are typically still able to produce androgens, the unused precursors that would normally be used to make cortisol instead result in the production of excess amounts of androgens. If left untreated, CAH can result in adrenal crisis and even death.
Exogenous glucocorticoids (GCs) are necessary to correct the endogenous cortisol deficiency, but historically, doses higher than those needed for cortisol replacement (supraphysiologic) have been used to lower the elevated levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adrenal androgens. However, GC treatment at supraphysiologic doses has been associated with serious and significant complications of steroid excess, including metabolic issues such as weight gain and diabetes, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Additionally, long-term treatment with supraphysiologic GCs may have psychological and cognitive impacts, such as changes in mood and memory. Adrenal androgen excess has been associated with abnormal bone growth and development in pediatric patients, female health problems such as excess facial hair growth and menstrual irregularities, in addition to cardiometabolic and fertility issues in both sexes. The symptoms of high ACTH may include testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs).
About CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont)
CRENESSITY is a potent and selective oral corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptor (CRF1) antagonist that reduces and controls excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adrenal androgens through a non-glucocorticoid (GC) mechanism for the treatment of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Antagonism of CRF1 receptors in the pituitary has been shown to decrease ACTH levels, which in turn decreases the production of adrenal androgens and potentially the symptoms associated with CAH. The robust clinical study data demonstrate that lowering adrenal androgen levels with CRENESSITY enables lower, more physiologic dosing of GCs to replace missing cortisol.
CRENESSITY comes in capsules and an oral solution. For adults 18 years of age and older, the recommended dosage is 100 mg twice daily taken orally with a meal. For pediatric patients four to 17 years of age weighing less than 55 kg (121 lbs), the recommended dosage is based on body weight and is administered twice daily, taken orally with a meal. For pediatric patients weighing more than 55 kg (121 lbs), the recommended dosage is 100 mg twice daily taken orally with a meal. Healthcare providers can work with patients to determine the appropriate formulation for use depending on patient needs. Patients receiving CRENESSITY should continue GC therapy for cortisol replacement.
About the CAHtalyst® Studies
The Phase 3 CAHtalyst global registrational studies were designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont) in children and adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The CAHtalyst studies were the largest-ever clinical trial program in classic CAH, including 285 pediatric and adult patients.
The CAHtalyst Pediatric study included 103 pediatric patients four to 17 years of age. The study tested two questions. The first question evaluated whether four weeks of CRENESSITY treatment could improve androgen control. The second question evaluated whether an additional 24 weeks of CRENESSITY treatment enabled customized glucocorticoid (GC) down-titration while androstenedione levels were maintained or improved.
The CAHtalyst Adult study included 182 adult patients 18 to 58 years of age. Similarly, the first question of the study evaluated whether four weeks of CRENESSITY treatment could improve androgen control, and the second question evaluated whether an additional 20 weeks of CRENESSITY treatment enabled GC reduction to physiologic range while androstenedione levels were maintained or improved.
Data from the CAHtalyst Phase 3 studies supported approval of CRENESSITY by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 2024. The open-label extension treatment portions of both studies are ongoing.
Important Information
Approved Uses
CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont) is a prescription medicine used together with glucocorticoids (steroids) to control androgen (testosterone-like hormone) levels in adults and children 4 years of age and older with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not take CRENESSITY if you:
Are allergic to crinecerfont, or any of the ingredients in CRENESSITY.
CRENESSITY may cause serious side effects, including:

Risk of Sudden Adrenal Insufficiency or Adrenal Crisis with Too Little Glucocorticoid (Steroid) Medicine. Sudden adrenal insufficiency or adrenal crisis can happen in people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who are not taking enough glucocorticoid (steroid) medicine. You should continue taking your glucocorticoid (steroid) medicine during treatment with CRENESSITY. Certain conditions such as infection, severe injury, or shock may increase your risk for sudden adrenal insufficiency or adrenal crisis. Tell your healthcare provider if you get a severe injury, infection, illness, or have planned surgery during treatment. Your healthcare provider may need to change your dose of glucocorticoid (steroid) medicine.
Before taking CRENESSITY, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.
The most common side effects of CRENESSITY in adults include tiredness, headache, dizziness, joint pain, back pain, decreased appetite, and muscle pain.

About PWS
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in gene expression on chromosome 15. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association USA estimates that PWS occurs in one in every 15,000 live births. The defining symptom of PWS is hyperphagia, a chronic and life-threatening condition characterized by an intense persistent sensation of hunger accompanied by food preoccupations, an extreme drive to consume food, food-related behavior problems, and a lack of normal satiety, which can severely diminish the quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families. Hyperphagia can lead to significant mortality (e.g., stomach rupture, choking, accidental death due to food-seeking behavior) and longer-term comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
About VYKAT™ XR
VYKAT XR was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 26, 2025, and is now commercially available to U.S. patients.
VYKAT XR is indicated for the treatment of hyperphagia in adults and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).
INDICATION
VYKAT XR (diazoxide choline) extended-release tablets is indicated for the treatment of hyperphagia in adults and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).

About the CAHtalyst® Studies
The Phase 3 CAHtalyst global registrational studies were designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont) in children and adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The CAHtalyst studies were the largest-ever clinical trial program in classic CAH, including 285 pediatric and adult patients.
The CAHtalyst Pediatric study included 103 pediatric patients four to 17 years of age. The study tested two questions. The first question evaluated whether four weeks of CRENESSITY treatment could improve androgen control. The second question evaluated whether an additional 24 weeks of CRENESSITY treatment enabled customized glucocorticoid (GC) down-titration while androstenedione levels were maintained or improved.
The CAHtalyst Adult study included 182 adult patients 18 to 58 years of age. Similarly, the first question of the study evaluated whether four weeks of CRENESSITY treatment could improve androgen control, and the second question evaluated whether an additional 20 weeks of CRENESSITY treatment enabled GC reduction to physiologic range while androstenedione levels were maintained or improved.
Data from the CAHtalyst Phase 3 studies supported approval of CRENESSITY by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 2024. The open-label extension treatment portions of both studies are ongoing.

About PWS
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in gene expression on chromosome 15. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association USA estimates that PWS occurs in one in every 15,000 live births. The defining symptom of PWS is hyperphagia, a chronic and life-threatening condition characterized by an intense persistent sensation of hunger accompanied by food preoccupations, an extreme drive to consume food, food-related behavior problems, and a lack of normal satiety, which can severely diminish the quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families. Hyperphagia can lead to significant mortality (e.g., stomach rupture, choking, accidental death due to food-seeking behavior) and longer-term comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

Nearly all individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities experienced improvement in tardive dyskinesia severity after starting INGREZZA, and of those, 89% experienced improvement within 4 weeks Clinician-reported data showed improvements in key aspects of daily life following INGREZZA treatment in nearly all patients with tardive dyskinesia and intellectual and developmental disabilities who had impaired function , /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced new clinician-reported data in patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities demonstrating meaningful and rapid improvements in tardive dyskinesia severity, as well as improvements in overall functional status, including physical and socio-emotional outcomes, with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules. The findings were presented at the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry's 24th Annual Education Conference in Dallas.
These data highlight the significant burden associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD) in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as the rapid clinician-reported improvements seen in TD movements following treatment with INGREZZA. Clinicians also observed functional gains across multiple areas of daily living, including social and emotional well-being, communication abilities and motor skills, such as hand coordination.
"People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at increased risk for tardive dyskinesia due to long-term antipsychotic use, yet the condition often goes underdiagnosed and its impact underrecognized," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "The clinician-reported improvements observed in this analysis complement patient-reported outcomes from the KINECT-PRO study, further highlighting the potential of INGREZZA to make a meaningful difference in areas that matter most to people living with tardive dyskinesia. This analysis, which is the first and only of its kind, also reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing studies that better represent and serve the diverse populations affected by the condition."
This analysis was based on clinician‑reported data from patients who initiated INGREZZA between January and June 2024, completed at least two months of treatment and had at least one follow‑up visit, including a subgroup of 30 individuals with reported intellectual and developmental disabilities (mean age: 47.3 years; standard deviation: 14.6). The most common psychiatric comorbidities in this subgroup were schizophrenia (70%) and mood disorders (17%). Clinicians also reported that 70% of individuals had moderate or severe TD movement severity at baseline.
Nearly all individuals experienced reductions in TD symptoms, with 89% (25/28) demonstrating improvement within four weeks of treatment initiation. Clinicians reported substantial burden associated with TD at baseline, with functional status and independence negatively impacted in 90% of individuals in the study due to their TD symptoms. Following treatment with INGREZZA, clinicians reported improvement in overall functional status in 96% of study participants with impaired function, as well as broad improvements across key aspects of daily life.

A previous publication examined the use of INGREZZA in five adults with mild to severe intellectual and developmental disabilities and TD. Following treatment with INGREZZA, patients experienced reduced TD movements, accompanied by improvements in daily functioning, demeanor and social and caregiver interactions. The present analysis extends those findings, emphasizing the need to recognize the burden of TD beyond uncontrolled movements, including functional and socio-emotional outcomes that are especially meaningful for patients with intellectual and development disabilities, as well as their families and care partners.

Use and Misuse of Anticholinergics for Drug Induced Movement Disorders About Tardive Dyskinesia
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that is characterized by uncontrolled, abnormal and repetitive movements of the face, torso and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact patients. The condition is associated with taking certain kinds of mental health medicines (antipsychotics) that help control dopamine receptors in the brain. Taking antipsychotics commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and other prescription medicines (metoclopramide and prochlorperazine) used to treat gastrointestinal disorders are associated with TD. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be mild to severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 800,000 adults in the U.S.
About the KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4 Study
The KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4, open-label study was designed to evaluate patient-reported outcomes on the use of INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules in a tardive dyskinesia (TD) patient population reflective of real-world clinical practice. Participants had at least mild TD, were aware of and experiencing at least mild distress from their abnormal, involuntary movements and had a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder or major depression. The KINECT-PRO study included a four-week screening period, a 24-week treatment period during which participants received 40 mg of INGREZZA once-daily for the first four weeks, followed by flexible dosing of 40 mg, 60 mg or 80 mg once-daily based on individual treatment needs and a two-week safety follow-up period. Baseline socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were broadly similar to those of the KINECT® 3 and KINECT® 4 studies.
KINECT-PRO is the first and only study to specifically evaluate and demonstrate patient-reported improvement with vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor treatment on TD using multiple clinically validated scales, including the Tardive Dyskinesia Impact Scale (TDIS™). The TDIS is the only patient-reported outcome instrument designed for and validated in tardive dyskinesia patients that measures the physical, social and emotional impact of the involuntary movements of the condition.
About INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules and INGREZZA® SPRINKLE (valbenazine) Capsules
INGREZZA is a selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with tardive dyskinesia and the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD). Only INGREZZA offers a therapeutic dose from day one with no required titration.
INGREZZA, developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, selectively inhibits VMAT2 with no appreciable binding affinity for VMAT1, dopaminergic (including D2), serotonergic, adrenergic, histaminergic or muscarinic receptors. While the specific way INGREZZA works to treat TD and HD chorea is not fully understood, INGREZZA is unique in that it selectively and specifically targets VMAT2 to inhibit the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control movement. INGREZZA is believed to reduce extra dopamine signaling, which may lead to fewer uncontrollable movements.
INGREZZA is studied across the widest range of patients. It is always one capsule, once daily and can be taken together with most stable mental health regimens such as antipsychotics or antidepressants. Only INGREZZA offers the benefit of a sprinkle formulation, INGREZZA SPRINKLE, for those who experience dysphagia, have difficulty swallowing or prefer not to swallow a pill. INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE dosages approved for use are 40 mg, 60 mg and 80 mg capsules.

New 48-week KINECT® 4 post-hoc analysis shows 94% of participants treated with INGREZZA achieved either symptomatic remission or a clinically meaningful response (≥30% reduction from baseline in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale total score); INGREZZA is the only vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor to demonstrate clinical remission in clinical trials A separate claims analysis indicates high prevalence of hepatic risk factors among patients with tardive dyskinesia; INGREZZA is the only VMAT2 inhibitor with approved dosing in hepatic impairment Together, these data add to a growing body of evidence supporting the potential of INGREZZA to provide clinically meaningful therapeutic benefits to a wide range of patients with tardive dyskinesia , /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced new post-hoc data from the KINECT® 4 clinical trial demonstrating that adults with tardive dyskinesia (TD) treated with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules experienced clinically meaningful and robust improvements in involuntary movement severity, including those who did not meet the stringent symptomatic remission threshold. These results, together with findings from a large retrospective Medicare claims analysis evaluating hepatic risk factors among patients newly diagnosed with TD, were presented at the 2026 Psych Congress Elevate in Las Vegas.
Previously presented data from the 48-week KINECT 4 study showed that 59% (61/103) of patients treated with once-daily INGREZZA achieved the stringent threshold for TD symptomatic remission, defined as an Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) item score of 0 ("none") or 1 ("minimal movements") in each of the seven body regions. Symptomatic remission was achieved across TD movement severity subgroups, including 63% (38/60) of patients with moderate TD and 54% (23/43) of patients with severe TD. A new post-hoc analysis further demonstrated that clinically meaningful improvements were observed even among patients who did not meet the more stringent symptomatic remission threshold. Among the 41% of patients (42/103) who did not meet the symptomatic remission threshold at Week 48, 86% (36/42) achieved ≥30% total AIMS score reduction (characterized by the authors as clinically meaningful), and 67% (28/42) achieved ≥50% reduction.
"Treatment goals for tardive dyskinesia include achieving both meaningful reductions in movement severity and, when possible, reaching symptomatic remission, a stringent threshold characterized by absent or minimal involuntary movements across all seven body regions," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "This new analysis demonstrates that approximately 94% of patients treated with INGREZZA for 48 weeks either achieved symptomatic remission or experienced clinically meaningful reductions in their tardive dyskinesia movements. Notably, the benefits of treatment extended beyond patients who reached the stringent remission threshold, reinforcing the broad clinical impact of INGREZZA."
Claims Analysis Underscores Importance of Evaluating Hepatic Risk Factors in TD Treatment Decisions
A separate retrospective Medicare claims analysis of more than 176,000 patients newly diagnosed with TD found that 90% of patients had at least one hepatic risk factor and 44% had three or more. Selected hepatic risk factors included metabolic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, in addition to substance use-related factors, such as alcohol or drug abuse, are associated with chronic liver disease or hepatic impairment. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating hepatic risk factors when making individualized treatment decisions for TD, as chronic liver disease may progress without noticeable symptoms, and hepatic impairment may go unrecognized, particularly in mild cases. INGREZZA is the only vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor with approved dosing for patients with TD and coexisting hepatic impairment.

Evidence-Based Recommendations for Treating Tardive Dyskinesia with a Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 Inhibitor Clinically Meaningful Improvements and Symptomatic Remission with Once-Daily Valbenazine in Adults with Tardive Dyskinesia Patients Taking Once-Daily Valbenazine Report Improved Quality of Life/Functionality and Experience Remission of Tardive Dyskinesia Symptoms with Once-Daily Valbenazine: Findings From KINECT-PRO Once‑Daily Valbenazine Demonstrates Greater and More Predictable Exposure Than Deutetrabenazine Extended‑Release: Results from a Positron Emission Tomography Study in Healthy Male Adults Characterizing Hepatic Risk Factors Among Medicare Patients with Tardive Dyskinesia About the KINECT 4 Phase 3 Study
KINECT 4 is a Phase 3, open-label study in which 163 participants with moderate to severe TD and underlying schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or mood disorder (including bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder) received 48 weeks of open-label treatment with once-daily INGREZZA (40 mg or 80 mg capsules) followed by a four-week washout. Dosing was initiated at 40 mg/day in all participants, with escalation to 80 mg/day at Week 4 based on effectiveness and tolerability. Dose reduction to 40 mg was allowed in participants who could not tolerate the 80 mg dose. Patients were discontinued if the new dose was not tolerated.
Participants experienced TD improvements during long-term treatment as demonstrated by mean change from baseline to Week 48 in AIMS total score (sum of items 1-7, evaluated by site raters) with INGREZZA 40 mg/day (-10.2) or 80 mg/day (-11.0). Consistent with previous studies, INGREZZA was generally well tolerated. After Week 4, treatment-emergent adverse events that occurred in ≥5% of all participants (combined dose groups) were urinary tract infection (8.5%) and headache (5.2%). Changes from baseline in psychiatric stability, vital signs, electrocardiogram parameters and laboratory test values were generally small and not clinically significant.

The 2026 tape has split in two. Semiconductor stocks have ripped higher on AI infrastructure demand, while software names that powered the last cycle have stalled or rolled over. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) sports a market cap of $5.23 trillion and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) has rallied more than 99% year to date (YTD), while Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) has dropped nearly 29% YTD and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is down more than 12%.
The valuation spread has stretched far enough that the setup is starting to look ripe for a reversal. Here are the five names most exposed to that pivot, ranked by potential impact.
1. NVIDIA NVIDIA sits at the center of the rally and the reversal risk. Q4 FY26 revenue hit $68.13 billion, up 73% year over year, with Data Center networking growing 263%. Free cash flow reached $96.58 billion for the year. CEO Jensen Huang said “Computing demand is growing exponentially. The agentic AI inflection point has arrived.”
Yet Polymarket traders price only a 45% chance NVDA hits $232 in May, and just 36% odds it closes the week above $215. Reddit r/wallstreetbets sentiment hit 90 on May 7, near euphoric extremes. With $95.2 billion in supply commitments and China Data Center revenue excluded from Q1 FY27 guidance, any hyperscaler capex wobble lands here first.
2. Advanced Micro Devices AMD is the most stretched. Shares are up 91% in just one month and 327% over the past year, carrying a P/E near 141. Q1 2026 revenue rose 38% to $10.25 billion, with Data Center up 57%. The fundamentals are real, but the algorithmic price target sits at $333.09, implying 19% downside, and analyst consensus of $312.28 is below the current quote.
Reddit posts like “+$8,000,000 in April (188%). AMD and TQQQ on margin” with 5,753 upvotes scream retail leverage. Lisa Su called out that “Data Center now the primary driver of our revenue and earnings growth”, but a P/E of 141 leaves no margin for execution slips.
3. Salesforce Salesforce is the cleanest reversal candidate on the software side. The stock is down 33% over the past year and trades at a P/E of just 24. Q4 FY26 EPS of $3.81 beat consensus by 25%, and Agentforce ARR jumped to $800 million, up 169%, with 29,000 deals closed.
Marc Benioff stated “Agentic AI is a tailwind for our business, and we’re well on our way to $63 billion in revenue in FY30.” Total RPO of $72.4 billion provides visibility, and insiders are net buying across 87 recent transactions. Analyst consensus target of $268.25 implies meaningful upside if AI software monetization catches up to chip multiples.
4. Microsoft Microsoft is the bridge. The Intelligent Cloud segment grew 30% in Q3 FY26, and Azure expanded 40%, with the AI business at a $37 billion run rate, up 123% year over year. Yet More Personal Computing fell 1%, and capex hit $30.88 billion, raising ROI questions. Reddit sentiment turned bearish, dropping to 22 on May 7.
Satya Nadella said “We are only at the beginning phases of AI diffusion.” If hyperscaler capex sustainability gets challenged, Microsoft cuts both ways: it pays NVIDIA, and it sells the software layer that has to monetize the spend.
5. CyberArk Software CyberArk Software (NASDAQ:CYBR) bridges high-growth software with AI-aligned demand. The company is in the process of being acquired by Palo Alto.
Q4 FY25 revenue rose 19% to $372.65 million, with subscription ARR of $1.27 billion, up 30%. Full-year revenue grew 36%. CEO Matt Cohen noted “customers prioritize identity security and the need to apply privilege controls across human, machine, and agentic AI identities.” The pending ~$25 billion Palo Alto Networks acquisition ($45 cash + 2.2005 PANW shares) caps upside but reduces downside, making it a softer landing if the rotation runs.
Conclusion The macro backdrop supports rotation rather than crash. The VIX sits at 17.39, down 28% month over month, and the 10Y-2Y spread holds at 0.49%. Chips are pricing flawless execution; software is pricing stagnation. If hyperscaler ROI questions widen, capital flows back to platforms with cheap multiples, durable RPO, and inflecting AI revenue. The risk: AI demand stays vertical and chips simply consolidate before another leg up. The setup is what looks ripe.
That wraps up our initial coverage of PANW’s Q3 results. Thank you for stopping by!
Jun 2, 2026 at 4:45 PM EDT
What Wasn’t Priced In Positive surprises. Revenue of $3.00B outran management’s own 28-29% growth guide, landing at 31.15%. NGS ARR hit $8.1B, up 60%, well above the 56% guided pace. Free cash flow jumped 40.61% to $788M, with TTM adjusted FCF margin expanding 430 basis points.
Negative surprises. GAAP operating income flipped to a $183 million loss from $219 million of profit a year ago. Gross profit grew just 21.46%, lagging revenue by nearly ten points and signaling acquisition-driven margin compression.
Adjustment to watch. CyberArk and Chronosphere added $388 million in revenue, meaning the organic-versus-inorganic split is the swing factor analysts will recut tonight.
Jun 2, 2026 at 4:44 PM EDT
Guidance Bombshell: The Q4 Raise That Matters The headline surprise is acceleration, not deceleration. Q4 revenue was guided to $3.345B–$3.355B, implying 32% YoY growth, a step up from Q3’s 31.15% print. Q4 EPS of $0.96–$0.98 sits well above the Street’s implied Q4 setup.
The FY26 raise is the real bombshell. Revenue moved to $11.415B–$11.425B from $11.28B–$11.31B, EPS climbed to $3.77–$3.79 from $3.65–$3.70, and adjusted FCF margin lifted to 37.5% from 37%.
Key assumptions: accelerating organic bookings, CyberArk and Chronosphere integrating ahead of plan, and AI security urgency. Q4 NGS ARR guidance of $8.90B–$8.95B sustains the 60% YoY trajectory, the metric bulls needed to see extended into FY27.
Jun 2, 2026 at 4:38 PM EDT
Does the 8% Pop Make Sense? The reaction looks stretched relative to the magnitude of the beat. Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW | PANW Price Prediction) topped revenue by 2% and EPS by 6%, solid but not blowout numbers for a stock already up 65.94% in a month with an RSI of 83.71.
Context matters: The average earnings-day move across the last five beats was -3.35%, and prediction markets barely budged, with the $8.5B Next-Gen Security ARR threshold holding at 2.7%.
The analyst consensus target sits at $230.82, well below the $323 price the stock soared to after earnings. It’s likely analysts will adjust their price targets higher following these strong Q3 results, but much of the good news may already be priced into the stock.
The market is focused on 31% revenue growth and CyberArk-fueled acceleration, treating this as a guidance-raise event.
Jun 2, 2026 at 4:34 PM EDT
With the earnings call starting at 4:30 PM ET, attention shifts to the forward setup. Management guided for Q4 revenue to reach $3.345B–$3.355B, implying 32% YoY growth, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.96–$0.98 and NGS ARR reaching $8.90B–$8.95B. Full-year FY26 revenue was set at $11.415B–$11.425B with adjusted FCF margin of 37.5%, on track toward the 40% target by FY28.
CEO Nikesh Arora framed the quarter as evidence that “AI frontier advancements“ are reshaping cyber demand. Investors will listen for cadence on CyberArk and Chronosphere integration, plus commentary on the $517 million share-based comp charge weighing on GAAP profitability.
Jun 2, 2026 at 4:33 PM EDT
The Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) 4:30 PM ET call is where guidance does the heavy lifting. Management already lifted FY26 revenue to $11.415B–$11.425B and EPS to $3.77–$3.79, with Q4 NGS ARR pegged at $8.90B–$8.95B. CEO Nikesh Arora typically guides conservatively, then raises, a pattern visible across three sequential FY26 hikes.
Bullish call commentary: organic bookings growth quantified above the $388M M&A contribution, FCF margin tracking toward the 40% FY28 target, and an AI security TAM expansion.
Bearish: any hedging on CyberArk (NASDAQ:CYBR) integration, share-based comp creep beyond $517M, or NGS ARR commentary that fails to extend the 60% YoY trajectory into FY27. At 83x forward earnings, the stock has high expectations baked into the price.
Jun 2, 2026 at 4:18 PM EDT
Palo Alto Networks ended the quarter with $18.4 billion in remaining performance obligations, up 36% year over year. Management expects that figure to climb to as much as $21.0 billion next quarter.
Revenue increased 31% year over year to $3.0 billion, while management guided for another quarter of roughly 32% revenue growth. Palo Alto’s position at the center of enterprise AI security spending continues to strengthen as companies deploy AI at scale.
The company’s backlog is growing faster than revenue, providing strong visibility into future growth. Next-Generation Security ARR reached $8.1 billion, up 60% year over year, as customers expanded spending across cloud, security operations, AI, and identity security offerings.
Jun 2, 2026 at 4:07 PM EDT
Palo Alto Networks just reported earnings, with shares initially rising about 12% following the release. Here are the key numbers:
Revenue: $3.00B vs. $2.94B expected Adjusted EPS: $0.85 vs. $0.80 expected Quick read:
Palo Alto delivered a double beat, topping revenue expectations by 2% and earnings estimates by 6%. Revenue grew 31% year over year to $3.0 billion, showing continued strong demand for the company’s cybersecurity platform despite an already large scale. Jun 2, 2026 at 3:59 PM EDT
Palo Alto Networks’ strategy is increasingly shifting to becoming the primary cybersecurity vendor for large enterprises, replacing multiple point solutions with a single platform.
That strategy appears to be gaining traction. Last quarter, the number of customers spending more than $5 million annually grew 48%, while customers spending over $10 million rose 50%. Those figures suggest some of the largest enterprises are standardizing on Palo Alto’s platform rather than spreading spending across multiple vendors.
For investors, that matters because larger platform relationships tend to be stickier, create more cross-selling opportunities, and make it harder for competitors to win business.
Jun 2, 2026 at 3:57 PM EDT
One of the most important numbers to watch in Palo Alto Networks’ Q3 earnings report tonight will be remaining performance obligations, or RPO.
The cybersecurity giant exited last quarter with roughly $16 billion in RPO and more than $6.3 billion in annual recurring revenue, providing visibility into future growth. Strong RPO growth would signal that customers continue to sign larger, longer-term contracts, even as the company has grown into one of the largest players in cybersecurity.
Investors are increasingly looking for evidence that AI-driven security spending is translating into real customer commitments. If Palo Alto can continue to grow its backlog faster than revenue, it would reinforce the bull case that demand remains strong heading into fiscal 2027.
Jun 2, 2026 at 3:33 PM EDT
Technical Setup Into the Close Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) trades at $294.34, down 2.04% from Monday’s $300.48 close, sitting well above its 50-day SMA of $194.03 and 200-day SMA of $190.03. The gap underscores how stretched this rally has become after a 65.94% one-month gain.
The 14-day RSI sits at 83.71, deep in overbought territory, and has been elevated above 80 for most of the past two weeks. Near-term resistance is the round $300 level, with initial support sitting at last week’s $260 breakout zone, with the $256.75 May 26 base below that.
The average earnings-day move across the last five beats was -3.35%. This shows that even strong Q3 results could lead to a share price decline after hours.
Jun 2, 2026 at 3:26 PM EDT
With Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) shares at $293.81 and up 65.94% over the past month, this is what the Bull vs Bear case looks like ahead of tonight’s Q3 earnings:
Bull Case Q3 guidance implies acceleration to 28-29% revenue growth with CyberArk (NASDAQ:CYBR) contribution. NGS ARR guided to $7.94-$7.96B (56% YoY); Polymarket pegs an ARR beat above $7.5B at 99.5%. Wedbush lifted its target to a Street-high $325, citing platformization momentum. CEO Nikesh Arora bought 67,985 shares in late March near $147. Bear Case Valuation is stretched at a forward P/E of 83 with analysts’ consensus price target at just $230.82. EVP Lee Klarich offloaded shares May 22 at $250-$261. Active exploitation of CVE-2026-0257 in GlobalProtect adds a fresh headwind. Polymarket sees only 2.7% odds of ARR clearing $8.5B, signaling a modest beat is already priced in. Jun 2, 2026 at 3:24 PM EDT
Wall Street consensus is calling for $0.80 EPS against management’s Q3 guide of $0.78–$0.80. Investors want to see FY2026 revenue raised above $11.31B, NGS ARR lifted past $8.62B, and FCF margin held at 37%.
CEO Nikesh Arora‘s team typically guides conservatively, then raises. Polymarket pegs NGS ARR above $8.0B at a 92% probability, but only 2.7% at $8.5B.
Bullish: FY26 NGS ARR raised above $8.62B, EPS path to $3.70+, CyberArk integration ahead of schedule.
Bearish: Light Q4 implied guidance, NGS ARR growth slipping below 50%, or margin compression from acquisition dilution. At 156x earnings, anything short of a raise risks the rally.
Jun 2, 2026 at 3:22 PM EDT
Four Wildcards Not in Consensus 1. CyberArk integration cost shock. The $2.3 billion cash outlay in Q3 plus 112 million shares issued could pressure margins beyond the 28.5–29.0% guide.
2. Next-Gen Security ARR setting a near-impossible bar. Polymarket prices Above $8.5B at just 2.7%, yet the Q3 guide already implies 56% YoY growth.
3. Chronosphere accretion surprise. Already $200 million in ARR, well above plan, with a nine-figure expansion deal from a leading AI model provider.
4. Valuation. With shares at $293.81 and analysts’ average price target at $230.82, any soft commentary on long sales cycles or share-based comp could trigger another sell-the-news drop.
Jun 2, 2026 at 2:49 PM EDT
Palo Alto Networks has developed a habit of beating expectations, topping estimates in each of the past five quarters. The challenge is that investors increasingly expect it. Despite that streak, the stock’s average earnings-day reaction over that period has been a 3.35% decline.
With shares already up more than 15% over the past week, the bar heading into this report looks particularly high. Investors will be watching for signs that the company’s CyberArk acquisition can accelerate growth and support a higher FY2026 outlook.
Management likely needs to raise expectations again to keep the rally going.
I’m watching Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) ahead of its fiscal third-quarter results due today, June 2, after the market closes at around 4:05 PM ET. With shares up 63.13% year-to-date, expectations are high heading into earnings.
A Rally Built on Platformization Last quarter, Palo Alto delivered $2.59 billion in revenue, up 14.91% year-over-year, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.03 beating the $0.9389 consensus by 9.7%. Next-Gen Security ARR hit $6.30 billion, up 33%, while non-GAAP operating margin held at 30.3% for a third straight quarter above 30%.
Last quarter, CEO Nikesh Arora announced the pending CyberArk identity-security deal and the Chronosphere observability acquisition, both of which underpin guidance for Q3 revenue growth accelerating to 28 to 29%. Shares have run 65.94% in the past month alone.
Consensus Estimates Metric Q3 FY26 Guide YoY Growth Revenue $2.941B–$2.945B 28–29% Non-GAAP EPS $0.78–$0.80 Roughly flat vs. $0.80 NGS ARR $7.94B–$7.96B 56% RPO $17.85B–$17.95B 32–33% FY26 Revenue $11.28B–$11.31B 22–23% FY26 Non-GAAP EPS $3.65–$3.70 N/A The ARR Step-Up Will Set the Tone The headline number I’m watching with Palo Alto tonight is Next-Gen Security ARR. Management guided to $7.94-$7.96 billion, a massive step up from Q2’s $6.30 billion. That jump reflects the expected CyberArk close, so investors will be watching for confirmation of timing and contribution math. Polymarket traders price NGS ARR above $7.5B at 99.5%, but above $8.5B at just 2.7%, framing the zone of anticipated outcomes.
Investors will also watch margin durability. Holding non-GAAP operating margin near the FY26 guide of 28.5 to 29.0% while absorbing two acquisitions is the real test. Integration costs from Chronosphere, with $160M+ ARR growing triple digits, could pressure near-term profitability.
The third focus is platformization commentary. Arora described customers as “keen to both modernize and normalize their cybersecurity stack,” citing AI as the accelerant. Investors will be looking for a sharper count of platform deals and AI-security attach rates. Prediction markets imply a 96.4% beat probability, so even meeting expectations may underwhelm a stock trading at a forward P/E near 83.

The market expects Targa Resources, Inc. (TRGP - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 7, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.56 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +181.3%.
Revenues are expected to be $5.15 billion, up 12.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.68% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Targa Resources?For Targa Resources, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.77%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Targa Resources will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Targa Resources would post earnings of $2.39 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.51, delivering a surprise of +5.02%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Targa Resources appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.
In its upcoming report, Targa Resources, Inc. (TRGP - Free Report) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $2.56 per share, reflecting an increase of 181.3% compared to the same period last year.

Over the past 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been adjusted upward by 0.9% to its current level. This demonstrates the covering analysts' collective reassessment of their initial projections during this period.
Prior to a company's earnings release, it is of utmost importance to factor in any revisions made to the earnings projections. These revisions serve as a critical gauge for predicting potential investor behaviors with respect to the stock. Empirical studies consistently reveal a strong link between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While investors typically use consensus earnings and revenue estimates as indicators of quarterly business performance, exploring analysts' projections for specific key metrics can offer valuable insights.

HOUSTON, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) (“TRGP,” the “Company” or “Targa”) today reported first quarter 2026 results.
First quarter 2026 net income attributable to Targa Resources Corp. was $480 million compared to $271 million for the first quarter of 2025. The Company reported adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash items (“adjusted EBITDA”)(1) of $1,403 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $1,179 million for the first quarter of 2025.

This dividend represents a 25 percent increase over the common dividend declared with respect to the first quarter of 2025. Total cash dividends of approximately $268 million will be paid on May 15, 2026 on all outstanding shares of common stock to holders of record as of the close of business on April 30, 2026.
During the first quarter of 2026, Targa repurchased 227,801 shares of its common stock at a weighted average per share price of $241.43 for a total net cost of $55 million. As of March 31, 2026, there was $1,319 million remaining under the Company’s share repurchase programs.
First Quarter 2026 - Sequential Quarter over Quarter Commentary
Targa reported record first quarter adjusted EBITDA of $1,403 million, representing a 5 percent increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The sequential increase was driven by record Permian volumes in our Gathering and Processing (“G&P”) segment, primarily from the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin, as well as higher marketing margin and record NGL fractionation volumes in our Logistics and Transportation (“L&T”) segment.
In our G&P segment, higher sequential adjusted operating margin was driven by higher Permian inlet volumes attributable to the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin, the completion of our Falcon II plant, and continued strong producer activity, partially offset by severe winter weather and price-related producer curtailments which impacted our Permian volumes during the first quarter.
In our L&T segment, lower sequential first quarter adjusted operating margin was attributable to lower NGL transportation volumes and lower LPG export volumes, partially offset by higher marketing margin. NGL transportation and fractionation volumes were affected by the impacts of severe winter weather and price-related producer curtailments on our G&P systems. LPG export volumes were reduced by an unplanned outage at a portion of our export facility late in the first quarter, which was resolved early in the second quarter. Marketing margin increased due to greater optimization opportunities.
Capitalization, Financing and Liquidity
The Company’s total consolidated debt as of March 31, 2026 was $19,132 million, net of $132 million of debt issuance costs and $39 million of unamortized discount, with $17,900 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes, $457 million outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program, $600 million outstanding under the Securitization Facility, and $347 million of finance lease liabilities.
Total consolidated liquidity as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $3.1 billion, including $3.0 billion available under the TRGP Revolver and $100 million of cash.
Financing Update
In March 2026, Targa completed an underwritten public offering of $750 million of 4.350% Notes due 2031 and $750 million of 6.050% Notes due 2056. The Company used the net proceeds from the debt issuance for general corporate purposes, including to reduce borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program.
Growth Projects Update
In our G&P segment, we commenced operations of our new Falcon II plant in the Permian Delaware in February 2026 and our new East Pembrook plant in the Permian Midland in late March 2026. Construction continues on our East Driver plant in Permian Midland, and our Copperhead, Yeti I and Yeti II plants in Permian Delaware, and our G&P projects remain on track.
In May 2026, in response to increasing production and to meet the infrastructure needs of our customers, we announced the construction of a new 265 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) natural gas processing plant, Roadrunner III, and a new 275 MMcf/d natural gas processing plant, Copperhead II. Both plants will be located in the Permian Delaware and are expected to begin operations in the first quarter of 2028. In February 2026, we announced orders of long-lead items for Roadrunner III and Copperhead II.
In our L&T segment, we commenced operations of our Train 11 fractionator in Mont Belvieu in early April 2026 and are currently starting up operation of our Delaware Express NGL Pipeline expansion. Construction continues on our Train 12 and Train 13 fractionators in Mont Belvieu, our Speedway NGL Pipeline, our GPMT LPG Export Expansion, and our Bull Run, Buffalo Run and Forza intra-basin residue gas pipeline projects. Our L&T projects remain on track.
2026 Outlook
Targa now estimates full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be between $5.7 billion and $5.9 billion, a 17 percent increase year-over-year, based on the midpoint of the range. The increase in our full year financial outlook is driven by our strong outlook for marketing and optimization opportunities, LPG export operations, and continued strength of volume growth across Targa’s integrated assets. Second quarter 2026 Permian inlet volumes are currently trending significantly higher relative to the first quarter, and our estimated full year average 2026 inlet volumes remain consistent with our expectations despite the impacts of price-related producer curtailments. We continue to estimate net growth capital expenditures to be approximately $4.5 billion which includes capital spending for announced infrastructure projects underway including our new Roadrunner III and Copperhead II processing plants in the Permian announced today. Our estimate for 2026 net maintenance capital expenditures remains unchanged at approximately $250 million.

The decrease in commodity sales reflected lower NGL, natural gas and condensate prices ($1,064.2 million), partially offset by higher NGL, natural gas and condensate volumes ($476.9 million) and the favorable impact of hedges ($47.5 million).
The increase in fees from midstream services was primarily due to higher gas gathering and processing fees, partially offset by lower export volumes.
The decrease in product purchases and fuel reflected lower NGL and natural gas prices, partially offset by higher NGL and natural gas volumes.
The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher labor and maintenance costs due to increased activity and system expansions, and the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin.
See “—Results of Operations—By Reportable Segment” for additional information on a segment basis.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin and the impact of system expansions on the Company’s asset base.
The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits.
The increase in interest expense, net, was primarily due to higher borrowings, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest.
The decrease in other, net, was primarily due to the premium paid on the redemption of all of the Partnership’s 6.875% Notes due 2029.
The increase in income tax (expense) benefit was primarily due to the increase in pre-tax book income.
The premium on repurchase of noncontrolling interests, net of tax was due to the Badlands Transaction in the first quarter of 2025.
Review of Segment Performance
The following discussion of segment performance includes inter-segment activities. The Company views segment operating margin and adjusted operating margin as important performance measures of the core profitability of its operations. These measures are key components of internal financial reporting and are reviewed for consistency and trend analysis. For a discussion of adjusted operating margin, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures ― Adjusted Operating Margin.” Segment operating financial results and operating statistics include the effects of intersegment transactions. These intersegment transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated presentation.
The Company operates in two primary segments: (i) Gathering and Processing; and (ii) Logistics and Transportation.
Gathering and Processing Segment
The Gathering and Processing segment includes assets used in the gathering and/or purchase and sale of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells, removing impurities and processing this raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by extracting NGLs; and assets used for the gathering and terminaling and/or purchase and sale of crude oil. The Gathering and Processing segment’s assets are located in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico (including the Midland, Central and Delaware Basins); the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas; the Barnett Shale in North Texas; the Anadarko, Ardmore, and Arkoma Basins in Oklahoma (including the SCOOP and STACK) and South Central Kansas; the Williston Basin in North Dakota (including the Bakken and Three Forks plays); and the onshore and near offshore regions of the Louisiana Gulf Coast.
The following table provides summary data regarding results of operations of this segment for the periods indicated:

The increase in adjusted operating margin was predominantly due to higher natural gas inlet volumes in the Permian which drove higher fee-based margin, partially offset by lower commodity prices. The increase in natural gas inlet volumes in the Permian was attributable to the addition of the Pembrook II plant during the third quarter of 2025, the Bull Moose II plant during the fourth quarter of 2025, the Falcon II plant during the first quarter of 2026, continued strong producer activity and the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin during the first quarter of 2026.
The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher volumes, multiple plant additions and the acquisition of certain assets in the Permian Basin during the first quarter of 2026.
Logistics and Transportation Segment
The Logistics and Transportation segment includes the activities and assets necessary to convert mixed NGLs into NGL products and also includes other assets and value-added services such as transporting, storing, fractionating, terminaling, and marketing of NGLs and NGL products, including services to LPG exporters and certain natural gas supply and marketing activities in support of the Company’s other businesses. The Logistics and Transportation segment also includes Targa’s NGL pipeline system, which connects the Company’s gathering and processing positions in the Permian Basin, Southern Oklahoma and North Texas with the Company’s Downstream facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The Company’s Downstream facilities are located predominantly in Mont Belvieu and Galena Park, Texas, and in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The increase in adjusted operating margin was due to higher marketing margin and higher pipeline transportation and fractionation margin. Marketing margin increased due to greater optimization opportunities. Pipeline transportation and fractionation volumes benefited from higher supply volumes primarily from the Company’s Permian Gathering and Processing systems.
The increase in operating expenses was due to higher repairs and maintenance and higher compensation and benefits.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operations, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin (segment). The following tables provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.
The Company utilizes non-GAAP measures to analyze the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash flow from operations, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin (segment) are non-GAAP measures. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to these non-GAAP measures are income (loss) from operations, Net income (loss) attributable to Targa Resources Corp. and segment operating margin. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures and have important limitations as analytical tools. Investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because the Company’s non-GAAP measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect income and segment operating margin, and are defined differently by different companies within the Company’s industry, the Company’s definitions may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. Management compensates for the limitations of the Company’s non-GAAP measures as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into the Company’s decision-making processes.
Adjusted Operating Margin
The Company defines adjusted operating margin for the Company’s segments as revenues less product purchases and fuel. It is impacted by volumes and commodity prices as well as by the Company’s contract mix and commodity hedging program.
Gathering and Processing adjusted operating margin consists primarily of:
service fees related to natural gas and crude oil gathering, treating and processing; andrevenues from the sale of natural gas, condensate, crude oil and NGLs less producer settlements, fuel and transport and the Company’s equity volume hedge settlements. Logistics and Transportation adjusted operating margin consists primarily of:
service fees (including the pass-through of energy costs included in certain fee rates);system product gains and losses; andNGL and natural gas sales, less NGL and natural gas purchases, fuel, third-party transportation costs and the net inventory change.
The adjusted operating margin impacts of mark-to-market hedge unrealized changes in fair value are reported in Other.
Adjusted operating margin for the Company’s segments provides useful information to investors because it is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, including investors and commercial banks, to assess:
the financial performance of the Company’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;the Company’s operating performance and return on capital as compared to other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; andthe viability of capital expenditure projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
Management reviews adjusted operating margin and operating margin for the Company’s segments monthly as a core internal management process. The Company believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the Company’s operating results. The reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is presented under “Review of Segment Performance.”
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as Net income (loss) attributable to Targa Resources Corp. before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other items that the Company believes should be adjusted consistent with the Company’s core operating performance. The adjusting items are detailed in the adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table and its footnotes. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Company and by external users of the Company’s financial statements such as investors, commercial banks and others to measure the ability of the Company’s assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support the Company’s indebtedness and pay dividends to the Company’s investors.
Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
The Company defines adjusted cash flow from operations as adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense on debt obligations and cash tax (expense) benefit . The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as adjusted cash flow from operations less maintenance capital expenditures and growth capital expenditures, net of any reimbursements of project costs and contributions from noncontrolling interests, and including contributions to investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted cash flow from operations and adjusted free cash flow are performance measures used by the Company and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash earnings (after servicing the Company’s debt and funding capital expenditures) to be used for corporate purposes, such as payment of dividends, retirement of debt or redemption of other financing arrangements.

SummaryCompaniesShares up 1.3%Targa to start Delaware Express NGL pipeline expansion in MayMajor LPG export expansion to come online Q3 2027May 7 (Reuters) - Pipeline operator Targa Resources (TRGP.N), opens new tab forecast full-year core profit above analysts' expectations on Thursday, helped by higher transport volumes of natural gas liquids through its system.
Shares of the company rose 1.3% in afternoon trading.

U.S. natural gas futures averaged $9.54 per million British Thermal Units in the January-March quarter, up 9.5% from last year.
American pipeline companies are benefiting from strong oil and gas output in the Permian Basin, while uncertainty over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has boosted demand for U.S.-sourced liquefied natural gas.
Targa said it expects to start operations on its Delaware Express NGL Pipeline expansion in May 2026.
The company is positioned to secure additional multi-year contracts, supported by rising supply and growing global demand for U.S. Gulf Coast LPG exports, CEO Matthew Meloy said.
A major LPG export expansion is expected to come online in the third quarter of 2027, he added on a post-earnings call.
The company also announced plans to build two new natural gas processing plants in the Permian Delaware basin both expected to start operations in the first quarter of 2028.
Targa said Permian gas takeaway capacity is expected to improve toward the end of 2026, supporting stronger Waha prices and benefiting both the company and its producers, with further tailwinds expected into 2027 and 2028.
Total quarterly natural gas sales were up 17.26% to 3.04 billion British thermal units per day (BBtu/d) from the previous year, while NGL pipeline transportation volumes rose about 20.5% to 1,016.8 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d).
NGL sales rose to 1.30 billion Bbl/d from 1.19 billion bbl/d a year earlier.
NGLs are hydrocarbon liquids such as ethane, propane and butane, which are used as fuels for heating, refrigeration and gasoline blending, among others.
The Houston, Texas-based company projected 2026 adjusted core earnings to be between $5.7 billion and $5.9 billion, beating analysts' estimates of $5.5 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

All investors love getting big returns from their portfolio, whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities. However, when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and, of course, dividends. A dividend is that coveted distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders, and investors often view it by its dividend yield, a metric that measures the dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends make up large portions of long-term returns, and in many cases, dividend contributions surpass one-third of total returns.
Targa Resources, Inc. (TRGP - Free Report) is headquartered in Houston, and is in the Oils-Energy sector. The stock has seen a price change of 35.23% since the start of the year. The company is currently shelling out a dividend of $1.25 per share, with a dividend yield of 2%. This compares to the Oil and Gas - Refining and Marketing - Master Limited Partnerships industry's yield of 5.83% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.41%.
Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $5.00 is up 33.3% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Targa Resources, Inc. has increased its dividend 4 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 69.99%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Targa Resources's current payout ratio is 47%, meaning it paid out 47% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
TRGP is expecting earnings to expand this fiscal year as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $10.32 per share, with earnings expected to increase 21.55% from the year ago period.
Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. However, not all companies offer a quarterly payout.
For instance, it's a rare occurrence when a tech start-up or big growth business offers its shareholders a dividend. It's more common to see larger companies with more established profits give out dividends. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, TRGP is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Targa Resources, Inc. (TRGP - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.21 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.55 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.91 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -13.24%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $2.39 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.51, delivering a surprise of +5.02%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Targa Resources, which belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Refining and Marketing - Master Limited Partnerships industry, posted revenues of $4.09 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 19.64%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.56 billion. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Targa Resources shares have added about 35.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.6%.
What's Next for Targa Resources?While Targa Resources has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Targa Resources was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.42 on $5.08 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $10.32 on $20.52 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Is TRGP Overvalued or Undervalued? Targa Resources Corp TRGP is currently trading at $263.29, significantly above its GF Value™ of $166.14. This suggests that the stock is overvalued by approximately 58.5%, indicating a potential risk for investors. The GF Valuation label categorizes TRGP as significantly overvalued, which should prompt caution among potential buyers. The margin of safety, a critical concept for value investing, is notably absent in this case, as the current price far exceeds the estimated intrinsic value.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Given the considerable gap between the market price and the GF Value™, there is a risk that TRGP’s stock price may experience a correction if the fundamentals do not support such high valuations. Investors should be aware of this risk and consider the implications of investing in a stock that is perceived to be overvalued.
How Does TRGP's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 26.8x 27.7x (5-Year Median) Forward P/E 25.7x - The current P/E ratio of 26.8x is slightly below its 5-year median of 27.7x, indicating that the stock is trading near its historical valuation levels. However, the forward P/E of 25.7x suggests a slightly favorable outlook for future earnings. This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, confirming that while TRGP may not be excessively overvalued relative to its historical P/E, the significant overvaluation indicated by the GF Value™ cannot be ignored.
What Does TRGP's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 77/100 Financial Strength 4/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 7/10 Valuation 3/10 Momentum 6/10 The GF Score™ of 77/100 indicates that Targa Resources has above-average fundamentals, particularly in profitability and growth, each rated at 7/10. However, the valuation rank is notably low at 3/10, highlighting concerns regarding its current price level. Additionally, the financial strength is ranked at 4/10, suggesting that while the company has some solid operational metrics, it may not be in the strongest position financially. This combination of strengths and weaknesses suggests that while TRGP has promising growth potential, its valuation presents a significant concern that could impact long-term returns.
What Are Insiders Doing with TRGP Stock? Recent insider activity at Targa Resources Corp has been notable, with insiders selling $25.5 million worth of stock in the past three months and no purchases reported. This pattern of significant selling without any buying activity may imply a lack of confidence in the stock's current valuation or future performance. Insiders typically have a strong understanding of their company's prospects, and substantial selling can serve as a red flag for potential investors.
Given the absence of insider buying, it raises questions about the sustainability of the current stock price and whether insiders believe the shares are overvalued. Investors may want to consider this information as part of their overall assessment of TRGP.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Targa Resources Corp TRGP is currently overvalued. The significant gap between the market price and the intrinsic value suggests that the stock may be subject to a potential correction. Investors should approach with caution, considering the valuation metrics and insider selling activity when making investment decisions.

Key Takeaways TRGP posted record Q1 adjusted EBITDA of $1.4B, up 19% on strong Permian and fractionation volumes.Targa raised its dividend 25%, repurchased shares and expanded Permian processing capacity.TRGP expects 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $5.7B-$5.9B, driven by growth and fee-based cash flows. Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 earnings of $2.21 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.55. The underperformance can be attributed to severe winter weather that impacted volumes across its systems, weak Waha natural gas prices that led to producer curtailments in the Permian Basin during the quarter and higher operating expenses related to maintenance activity, system expansions and acquired Permian assets.
The bottom line, however, increased from the year-ago quarter’s level of 91 cents. The year-over-year improvement can be attributed to higher operating margins in the company’s Gathering and Processing and Logistics and Transportation segments.
Total quarterly revenues of $4.1 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.1 billion by 19.64%. Revenues also declined 10% from the year-ago quarter’s level of $4.6 billion, primarily due to lower commodity sales, partly offset by higher fees from midstream services.
Despite the revenue miss, Targa delivered record first-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 billion, up 19% from the prior-year quarter. The increase was driven by record Permian inlet volumes, record fractionation volumes and higher marketing margins.
Taking a Closer Look at Q1 ResultsOn April 16, 2026, Houston, TX-based oil and gas storage and transportation company declared a quarterly dividend of $1.25 per share, or $5 annualized, representing a 25% increase from the first-quarter 2025 dividend. The company also repurchased $55 million of common stock during the quarter.
In the first quarter, Targa benefited from continued strength across its integrated Permian-to-Mont Belvieu footprint. Management mentioned that the company still achieved record first-quarter adjusted EBITDA, Permian volumes and NGL fractionation volumes despite winter weather and periodic shut-ins. The company also mentioned that current Permian volumes were running more than 250 million cubic feet per day above the first-quarter average, even with 200-400 million cubic feet per day of temporary producer shut-ins on any given day.
TRGP’s Segmental PerformanceGathering and Processing: The segment’s operating margin was $703.5 million, up 17% from $602.2 million in the year-ago quarter. However, the figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $757 million. Adjusted operating margin increased 16% year over year to $937.1 million, primarily driven by higher Permian natural gas inlet volumes, which boosted fee-based margin, partially offset by lower commodity prices.
Total Permian plant natural gas inlet volumes averaged 6,730 MMcf/d, up 12% year over year. The improvement was supported by the Pembrook II, Bull Moose II and Falcon II plants, continued producer activity and the acquisition of certain Permian Basin assets in the first quarter.
Logistics and Transportation: This unit reflects TRGP’s downstream operations. The segment’s operating margin increased 20% year over year to $773.3 million, and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $783 million, while adjusted operating margin rose 18% to $873.5 million. The improvement was driven by higher marketing margin and stronger pipeline transportation and fractionation margin.
NGL pipeline transportation volumes averaged 1,016.8 MBbl/d, up 21% year over year. Fractionation volumes averaged 1,145.2 MBbl/d, up 17%. Export volumes declined 2% year over year to 437 MBbl/d, affected by the outage at a portion of the Galena Park export facility.
TRGP’s Costs, Capex & Balance SheetProduct purchases and fuel declined 26% year over year to $2.39 billion, reflecting lower NGL and natural gas prices, partly offset by higher volumes. Operating expenses rose 10% to $333.7 million, mainly due to higher labor and maintenance costs from increased activity, system expansions and the Permian asset acquisition.
The company spent $914.4 million on growth capital programs compared with $594.5 million in the year-ago period. While maintenance capital expenditures were $37.6 million compared with $47.3 million in the year-ago period, adjusted free cash flow was $227.9 million.
As of March 31, 2026, TRGP had cash and cash equivalents of $100.1 million and long-term debt of $18.4 billion, with a debt-to-capitalization of around 85.5%.
TRGP’s Project UpdatesTarga completed the Falcon II processing plant in Permian Delaware in February 2026 and the East Pembrook plant in Permian Midland in late March. The company also completed Train 11 in Mont Belvieu in April and began start-up operations for its Delaware Express NGL Pipeline expansion in May.
Targa announced two new Permian Delaware processing plants — Roadrunner III and Copperhead II — expected to begin operations in the first quarter of 2028. The company’s investor presentation shows several other major projects underway, including Train 12, Train 13, Speedway, the GPMT LPG Export Expansion and residue gas pipeline projects.
TRGP’s 2026 GuidanceThe company expects a stronger 2026 financial performance, supported by continued growth across the Permian gathering and processing footprint and record volumes through its integrated NGL system. Management guided to a 2026 adjusted EBITDA of approximately $5.7 billion to $5.9 billion, representing roughly 17% year-over-year growth, driven by higher throughput volumes, strength in marketing and optimization activities and contributions from recently completed and ongoing expansion projects. The company also plans to invest about $4.5 billion in net growth capital expenditures during 2026, while maintenance capital is expected to total roughly $250 million.
Importantly, more than 90% of expected EBITDA is projected to be fee-based, providing greater cash flow stability and limiting direct exposure to commodity price volatility.
Overall, management’s outlook reflects confidence in sustained producer activity, rising infrastructure demand in the Permian Basin and continued operating momentum heading into 2026. TRGP currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Houston, TX-based oil and gas equipment and services provider, Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) , posted first-quarter 2026 adjusted net income per share of 55 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. The outperformance primarily reflects successful cost reduction initiatives. However, the bottom line fell from the year-ago adjusted profit of 60 cents.
Halliburton reported first-quarter capital expenditure of $192 million. As of March 31, 2026, this oil and gas equipment and services company had approximately $2 billion in cash/cash equivalents and $7.1 billion in long-term debt, representing a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 39.6.

(KMI - Free Report) , posted first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of 48 cents, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents. The bottom line increased year over year from 34 cents. The strong quarterly results can be primarily attributed to contributions from the Natural Gas Pipelines business segment.
As of March 31, 2026, KMI reported $72 million in cash and cash equivalents. At the quarter's end, its long-term debt amounted to $29.72 billion. KMI’s project backlog was reported at $10.1 billion by the end of the first quarter.

The bottom line also improved from the prior-year level of 96 cents. Strong quarterly results can be attributed to higher gas-equivalent production and increased natural gas price realization.
Drilling and completion expenditure totaled $130 million. An additional $5 million was spent on acreage and $4 million on infrastructure and other investments. At the end of the first quarter, Range Resources reported a total debt of $819.3 million, net of deferred financing costs.
It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

The Company calculates Funds From Operations available to common stockholders and common unitholders (“FFO”) in accordance with the 2018 Restated White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of Nareit. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. The reconciling items include amounts to adjust earnings from consolidated partially-owned entities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates to FFO. Our calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. We also add back net income attributable to noncontrolling common units of the Operating Partnership because we report FFO attributable to common stockholders and common unitholders.
Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of the Company’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, management believes that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of the Company’s performance relative to its competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide.
FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations.
