Broadridge's unified governance platform enables xStocks holders to submit voting preferences for shares underpinning their tokenized equities, closing one of the clearest gaps between tokenized equities and traditional stock ownership

, /PRNewswire/ -- Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., (NYSE: BR), a global Fintech leader, today announced Broadridge's unified governance platform will support shareholder communications and proxy voting for eligible holders of xStocks, the industry-leading tokenized equities framework developed by Payward Services, the B2B infrastructure platform from Payward.

"The endgame for tokenization was never just building faster programmable capital markets. It's about giving people across the world everything that comes with owning a piece of a company, including a voice in how it's run," said Mark Greenberg, Payward's Chief Commercial Officer and Global Head of Payward Services. "Working with Broadridge is a step in that direction, unlocking opportunities for xStocks holders to participate in corporate governance, while closing the gap between tokenized equities and traditional shares."

"As tokenized securities continue to reshape global capital markets, investors should not have to choose between blockchain innovation and shareholder rights," said Doug DeSchutter, President of Broadridge's Investor Communication Solutions business. "By extending our governance platform to support xStocks, we are enabling eligible token holders to have a voice in corporate governance and extending our leadership in digital asset governance."

Payward Services continues to accelerate its tokenized assets offering at pace, with more than 500 tokenized assets now available across tokenized equities, ETFs and pre-IPO offerings, and with tokenized equities from several international markets slated to follow soon. xStocks is the most widely traded tokenized equities framework in the market by total transaction volume, and now represents the widest range of assets offered by any tokenized equities framework.

Eligible holders of supported tokenized securities available through Payward Services' xStocks tokenized asset framework will securely authenticate to ProxyVote.com using Web3 authentication, review proxy materials for the underlying securities, and submit their proxy voting preferences through a seamless digital experience. The experience brings established trusted governance capabilities investors expect from traditional capital markets into blockchain-native ecosystems while preserving the accessibility and efficiency of tokenized assets.

Key capabilities include:

Secure Web3 authentication to ProxyVote.com for eligible token holders. Digital delivery of proxy materials and shareholder communications. Proxy voting preference submission for supported tokenized securities, including Payward Services' xStocks offering. A consistent governance experience across traditional securities and all major tokenization models. Institutional-grade governance, reporting and auditability built on Broadridge's trusted proxy infrastructure. Today's announcement builds on Broadridge's continued investment in digital asset governance and reflects the company's vision of extending trusted shareholder communications and voting capabilities across the evolving tokenized securities landscape. Together with its recent initiatives supporting issuer-sponsored and custodial tokenized securities, this partnership demonstrates Broadridge's ability to deliver a unified governance solution spanning traditional markets and the full spectrum of blockchain-based securities.

About xStocks:
xStocks is the industry standard for tokenized securities, bringing publicly listed equities onchain through fully collateralized, 1:1-backed tokens. Powered by Payward's digital asset infrastructure, xStocks places traditional assets on blockchain rails, expanding access to global capital markets with extended availability, global reach, and digital-native settlement. Launched initially as tokenized US equities, xStocks will soon be expanding to tokenize equities from markets across the world, including the UK, Europe and Asia.

Designed for interoperability, xStocks move seamlessly between centralized exchanges, self-custodied wallets, and onchain applications, unlocking new utility across trading, collateralization, and decentralized finance. Since launching in June 2025, xStocks has grown to power billions of dollars in transaction volume across multiple blockchain ecosystems, anchoring a rapidly expanding global network shaping the future of tokenized markets.

OCSL Oaktree Specialty Lending
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation (NASDAQ: OCSL) (“Oaktree Specialty Lending” or the “Company”), a specialty finance company, today announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026

Total investment income was $69.4 million ($0.79 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2026 as compared to $70.4 million ($0.80 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2026. Adjusted total investment income was $69.2 million ($0.79 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2026 as compared with $69.7 million ($0.79 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2026. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower average portfolio balance and a decrease in non-recurring income. This was partially offset by restoring one investment that was previously on non-accrual status to accrual status. GAAP net investment income was $32.5 million ($0.37 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2026 as compared with $34.4 million ($0.39 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2026. The decrease for the quarter was primarily driven by lower total investment income and higher income-based ("Part I") incentive fees (net of fees waived), partially offset by lower interest expense. Adjusted net investment income was $32.2 million ($0.37 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2026 as compared with $33.7 million ($0.38 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2026. The decrease for the quarter was primarily driven by lower total investment income and higher income-based ("Part I") incentive fees (net of fees waived), partially offset by lower interest expense. Net asset value ("NAV") per share was $15.70 as of June 30, 2026, compared with $15.69 as of March 31, 2026. Originated $206.4 million of new investment commitments and received $262.8 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The weighted average yield on new debt investments was 10.0%. Total debt outstanding was $1,451.0 million as of June 30, 2026. The total debt to equity ratio was 1.05x, and the net debt to equity ratio was 1.02x, after adjusting for cash and cash equivalents. Liquidity as of June 30, 2026 was composed of $39.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $659.0 million of undrawn capacity under the Company's credit facility (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were $235.4 million, or $208.3 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Company's joint ventures. Quarterly and supplemental cash distributions were declared of $0.30 per share and $0.03 per share, respectively, payable in cash on September 30, 2026 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2026. “We are pleased with the progress we made in reducing our non-accrual investments,” said Armen Panossian, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Oaktree Specialty Lending. “Net asset value per share was stable relative to the prior quarter, and we maintained conservative leverage while continuing to selectively redeploy capital into credits that we believe offer attractive risk-adjusted returns.”

Distribution Declaration

The Board of Directors declared quarterly and supplemental cash distributions of $0.30 per share and $0.03 per share, respectively, payable in cash on September 30, 2026 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2026.

Distributions are paid primarily from distributable (taxable) income. To the extent taxable earnings for a fiscal taxable year fall below the total amount of distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to the Company’s stockholders.

Adjusted total investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $69.2 million and included $61.4 million of interest income from portfolio investments, $5.2 million of PIK interest income, $1.0 million of fee income and $1.6 million of dividend income. The $0.6 million quarterly decrease in adjusted total investment income was primarily driven by a lower average portfolio balance and a decrease in non-recurring income. This was partially offset by restoring one investment that was previously on non-accrual status to accrual status.

Net expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 totaled $36.6 million, increased by $0.6 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The increase for the quarter was primarily driven by higher Part I incentive fees (net of fees waived), partially offset by lower interest expense due to lower average borrowings outstanding during the quarter.

Adjusted net investment income was $32.2 million ($0.37 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which was down from $33.7 million ($0.38 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The decrease of $1.5 million primarily reflected $0.6 million of lower adjusted total investment income and $0.6 million of higher net expenses.

Adjusted net realized and unrealized losses, net of taxes, were $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily reflecting realized and unrealized losses on certain debt and equity investments.

As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the investment portfolio was $2.7 billion and was composed of investments in 163 companies. These included debt investments in 141 companies, equity investments in 39 companies, and the Company's joint venture investments in Senior Loan Fund JV I, LLC ("SLF JV I") and OCSI Glick JV LLC ("Glick JV"). 20 of the equity investments were in companies in which the Company also had a debt investment.

This compared to 83.7% of first lien loans, 1.8% of second lien loans and 10.8% of unsecured debt investments, including the debt investments in SLF JV I and Glick JV, as of March 31, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, there were six investments on non-accrual status, which represented 4.2% and 1.8% of the debt portfolio at cost and fair value, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there were ten investments on non-accrual status, which represented 5.9% and 2.6% of the debt portfolio at cost and fair value, respectively.

SLF JV I

The Company's investments in SLF JV I totaled $113.2 million at fair value as of June 30, 2026, increased by 0.4% from $112.8 million as of March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by SLF JV I’s use of leverage and net unrealized appreciation in the underlying investment portfolio.

As of June 30, 2026, SLF JV I had $429.0 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 130 portfolio companies. This compared to $447.5 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 124 portfolio companies, as of March 31, 2026.

Glick JV

The Company's investments in Glick JV totaled $41.3 million at fair value as of June 30, 2026, down 0.5% from $41.5 million as of March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily driven by Glick JV’s use of leverage and net realized losses in the underlying investment portfolio.

As of June 30, 2026, Glick JV had $142.5 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 131 portfolio companies. This compared to $142.2 million in assets, including senior secured loans to 121 portfolio companies, as of March 31, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total principal value of debt outstanding of $1,451.0 million, including $501.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $950.0 million of unsecured notes payable.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $39.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $659.0 million of undrawn capacity on its credit facility (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). As of June 30, 2026, unfunded investment commitments were $235.4 million, or $208.3 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Company's joint ventures. The Company has analyzed cash and cash equivalents, availability under its credit facilities, the ability to rotate out of certain assets and amounts of unfunded commitments that could be drawn and believes its liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to invest in market opportunities as they arise.

As of June 30, 2026, the weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding, including the effect of the interest rate swap agreements was 5.9%, unchanged from the prior quarter.

The Company’s total debt to equity ratio was 1.05x and 1.08x as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The Company's net debt to equity ratio was 1.02x and 1.04x as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing certain adjusted financial measures, each of which is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company and to review the Company’s performance without giving effect to non-cash income/gain/loss resulting from the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger and in the case of adjusted net investment income, without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The presentation of the below non-GAAP measures is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.

"Adjusted Total Investment Income" and "Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share" – represents total investment income excluding any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger. “Adjusted Net Investment Income” and “Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share” – represents net investment income, excluding (i) any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger and (ii) capital gains incentive fees ("Part II incentive fees"). “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes” and “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share” – represents net realized and unrealized gains (losses) net of taxes excluding any net realized and unrealized gains (losses) resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger. “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” – represents the sum of (i) Adjusted Net Investment Income and (ii) Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes and includes the impact of Part II incentive fees1, if any. The OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger (the "Mergers") were accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues ("ASC 805"). The consideration paid to each of the stockholders of OCSI and OSI2 were allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired other than "non-qualifying" assets, which established a new cost basis for the acquired investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was different than the historical cost basis of the acquired investments prior to the OCSI Merger or the OSI2 Merger, as applicable. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, the acquired investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete/amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation/depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete/amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized gain/loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.

The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare its financial results with those of other business development companies that have not adjusted the cost basis of certain investments pursuant to ASC 805. The Company’s management believes "Adjusted Total Investment Income", "Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share", "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share" are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to the income resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired in the Mergers because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") under its investment advisory agreement (as amended and restated from time to time, the "A&R Advisory Agreement"), and specifically as its relates to "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share", without giving effect to Part II incentive fees. In addition, the Company’s management believes that “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes”, “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share”, “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” are useful to investors as they exclude the non-cash income and gain/loss resulting from the Mergers and are used by management to evaluate the economic earnings of its investment portfolio. Moreover, these metrics more closely align the Company's key financial measures with the calculation of incentive fees payable to the Adviser under the A&R Advisory Agreement (i.e., excluding amounts resulting solely from the lower cost basis of the acquired investments established by ASC 805 that would have been to the benefit of the Adviser absent such exclusion).

Raises Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook Across Key Metrics on Strong Operational Performance

NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SharkNinja, Inc. (“SharkNinja” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SN), a global product design and technology company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Highlights for the Second Quarter 2026 as compared to the Second Quarter 2025

Net sales increased 22.2% to $1,765.5 million. Gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin decreased 30 and 70 basis points, respectively. Net income decreased 7.0% to $129.8 million. Adjusted Net Income increased 29.3% to $178.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.6% to $264.9 million, or 15.0% of net sales. Mark Barrocas, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Q2 was a standout performance for SharkNinja, with net sales growth accelerating to 22.2%, our fastest pace since 2024, powered by broad-based strength across our categories, geographies, and channels. This quarter was a clear demonstration of the size and durability of our core business, an area we believe is often underestimated. Our largest, most established franchises like Cleaning and Blending continue to grow through diversification and relentless innovation, and our International business delivered 36.6% growth, accelerating yet again with strong results across the UK, Europe, and Latin America.

That strength carried through to our bottom line, with Adjusted EBITDA up 18.6% and Adjusted Net Income Per Share up 29.9% year-over-year. Our steadfast commitment to solving consumer problems is resonating across the globe, and we believe the number of problems left to address is endless. We head into the second half of the year with real momentum and increasing confidence in our ability to deliver strong, profitable growth over the long term.”

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026

Net sales increased 22.2% to $1,765.5 million, compared to $1,444.9 million during the same period last year, or 21.6% on a constant currency basis. The increase in net sales resulted from growth in Cooking and Beverage Appliances, Beauty and Home Environment Appliances, Food Preparation Appliances and Cleaning Appliances.

Cleaning Appliances net sales increased by $20.6 million, or 4.1%, to $522.0 million, compared to $501.5 million in the prior year quarter, driven by the carpet extractor and cordless vacuums sub-categories. Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased by $133.3 million, or 36.5%, to $499.0 million, compared to $365.7 million in the prior year quarter, driven by sales of our Ninja Luxe Café espresso machine and the strength of the Ninja Crispi. Food Preparation Appliances net sales increased by $53.8 million, or 13.3%, to $458.6 million, compared to $404.8 million in the prior year quarter, driven by strong growth in our blending sub-category. Beauty and Home Environment Appliances net sales increased by $112.9 million, or 65.3%, to $285.8 million, compared to $172.9 million in the prior year quarter, driven by continued strength of our skincare and fan product portfolios. Geographically, Domestic net sales increased by $153.4 million, or 15.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was driven by growth within existing categories and the success of new product categories. International net sales increased by $167.2 million, or 36.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was driven by continued success within core categories into new international markets and consistent growth in our key international countries.

Gross profit increased 21.5% to $860.3 million, or 48.7% of net sales, compared to $708.2 million, or 49.0% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Gross Profit increased 20.4% to $860.3 million, or 48.7% of net sales, compared to $714.4 million, or 49.4% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin of 30 and 70 basis points, respectively, was primarily driven by the cost pressures related to tariffs in the U.S. market, unfavorable foreign currency, and increased retailer activations, partially offset by cost optimization efforts, favorable shifts in our categories and channels, and a decline in the amounts owed under a contractual sourcing service fee paid to JS Global for supply chain services, which ended July 31, 2025.

Research and development expenses increased 22.3% to $109.3 million, or 6.2% of net sales, compared to $89.4 million, or 6.2% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by an increase of $13.2 million in personnel-related expenses reflecting increased headcount to support new product categories and new market expansion, and an increase of $3.5 million in prototypes and testing costs.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 23.4% to $441.5 million, or 25.0% of net sales, compared to $357.7 million, or 24.8% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of $26.2 million in delivery and distribution costs, driven by higher volumes, changes in product mix and higher fuel costs, $20.7 million in advertising-related expenses, $19.9 million in personnel-related expenses to support new product launches and expansion into new markets, $8.8 million in credit card processing and merchant fees, and $2.6 million in product sample costs to support marketing and social commerce initiatives.

General and administrative expenses increased 40.8% to $130.1 million, or 7.4% of net sales, compared to $92.4 million, or 6.4% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was driven by an increase of $30.3 million in personnel-related expenses, primarily due to a $22.6 million increase in share-based compensation, as well as an increase of $5.1 million in professional and consulting fees.

Operating income increased 6.4% to $179.4 million, or 10.1% of net sales, compared to $168.6 million, or 11.6% of net sales, during the prior year quarter. Adjusted Operating Income increased 19.6% to $231.5 million, or 13.1% of net sales, compared to $193.5 million, or 13.4% of net sales, in the prior year quarter.

Net income decreased 7.0% to $129.8 million, or 7.4% of net sales, compared to $139.6 million, or 9.7% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Net income per diluted share decreased 6.1% to $0.92, compared to $0.98 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted Net Income increased 29.3% to $178.2 million, or 10.1% of net sales, compared to $137.8 million, or 9.5% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share increased 29.9% to $1.26, compared to $0.97 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.6% to $264.9 million, or 15.0% of net sales, compared to $223.4 million, or 15.5% of net sales, in the prior year quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $779.8 million and available capacity under its revolving credit facility of $489.8 million. Total debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, was $718.9 million.

Inventories as of June 30, 2026 increased 14.1% to $1,143.6 million, compared to $1,002.2 million as of December 31, 2025.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 815,233 and 1,008,368 ordinary shares, respectively, under its $750.0 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on February 11, 2026 (the “Repurchase Program”) at an aggregate cost of $99.7 million and $119.7 million, respectively, at an average price of $122.29 and $118.71 per share, respectively.

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

For fiscal year 2026, SharkNinja expects:

Net sales to increase 16.0% to 17.0% compared to the prior year (above the prior expectation of 11.5% to 12.5%). Adjusted Net Income per diluted share between $6.45 and $6.55, reflecting a 22.2% to 24.1% increase compared to the prior year (above the prior expectation of between $6.00 and $6.10, reflecting a 13.6% to 15.5% increase). Of the $0.45 increase, approximately $0.15 is associated with the expected net tariff refund benefit. Adjusted EBITDA between $1,357 million and $1,369 million, reflecting a 19.5% to 20.5% increase compared to the prior year (above the prior expectation of between $1,290 million and $1,300 million, reflecting a 13.5% to 14.5% increase). Of the $67 million to $69 million increase, approximately $30 million is associated with the expected net tariff refund benefit. A GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 22.0% to 23.0%. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 142.5 million. Capital expenditures in the range of $190 million to $210 million primarily to support investments in new product launches and technology. The Company’s updated outlook reflects stronger underlying operating performance complemented by the expected net benefit from tariff refunds. In Q3 2026, SharkNinja submitted refund claims of approximately $247.1 million through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) refund process, and the CBP accepted those claims. As a result, the Company expects to recognize a benefit of approximately $247.1 million as a reduction of cost of sales, with a corresponding receivable, in the third quarter of 2026. The underlying duties subject to refund are expected to be split approximately evenly between amounts previously expensed in fiscal 2025 and in the first half of 2026. We have treated the refunds consistently with the period in which the underlying tariff costs were recognized. Refunds associated with tariffs expensed in 2025 will benefit our GAAP results and cash flow, but will be excluded from Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share in our Fiscal 2026 Outlook. Refunds associated with tariffs incurred in 2026 will be reflected in these same Adjusted metrics as part of our revised full year outlook, consistent with the treatment of the original expense, and inclusive of the Company’s current intention to reinvest back into the business to support long-term growth. Areas of reinvestment may include retail activation, media, technology and AI capabilities, and mitigation of ongoing updated tariff and input-cost pressures. The Company’s updated outlook also reflects current tariff levels, including minimum rates of 10% for Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia, and 12.5% for China, Vietnam, and Thailand, assumed to persist for the remainder of 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we regularly review other financial measures, defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, prepare financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions.

The key non-GAAP financial measures we consider are Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Research and Development Expenses, Adjusted Sales and Marketing Expenses, Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by both management and our Board, together with comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or which occur relatively infrequently and/or which management considers to be unrelated to our core operations, as well as the cost of sales from (i) inventory markups that are being eliminated as a result of the transition of certain product procurement functions from a subsidiary of JS Global to SharkNinja concurrently with the separation and (ii) costs related to the transitional Sourcing Services Agreement with JS Global that was entered into in connection with the separation (collectively, the “Product Procurement Adjustment”). Management believes that tracking and presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our ongoing core operations, our ability to generate cash and the underlying business trends that are affecting our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with our GAAP financial information, also allow investors to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry and to better understand and interpret the results of the ongoing business following the separation and distribution. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and you are cautioned that other companies may define these non-GAAP financial measures differently.

SharkNinja does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including, in particular, the realized and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses reported within other expense. For the same reasons, we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions and additions needed in order to provide forward-looking GAAP net income at this time. The amount of these deductions and additions may be material, and, therefore, could result in forward-looking GAAP net income being materially different or less than forward-looking Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA. See “Forward-looking statements” above.

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit as adjusted to exclude (i) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including the cost of sales from the Product Procurement Adjustment and (ii) the impact of a voluntary product recall. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales. We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are appropriate measures of our operating performance because each eliminates certain other adjustments that do not relate to the ongoing performance of our business.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most comparable GAAP measure, gross profit and gross margin, respectively, for the periods presented:

We exclude amortization charges for these acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating Adjusted Operating Expenses, although revenue is generated, in part, by these intangible assets, to eliminate the impact of these non-cash charges that are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of JS Global’s acquisition of our business, as well as the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations.

(4)

  Represents cost of sales incurred related to the Product Procurement Adjustment. As a result of the separation, we purchase 100% of our inventory from one of our subsidiaries, SNHK, and no longer purchase inventory from a purchasing office wholly owned by JS Global. Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation is completely eliminated in consolidation. In connection with the separation, we paid JS Global a sourcing service fee to provide value-added sourcing services on a transitional basis under a Sourcing Services Agreement, which ended on July 31, 2025.

  Adjusted for operating income impact from a voluntary product recall that was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

(6)

  Adjusted for net income impact from a voluntary product recall that was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

(7)

  Represents the income tax effects of the adjustments included in the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income determined using the tax rate of 22.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 23.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which approximates our effective tax rate, excluding certain share-based compensation costs and separation and distribution-related costs that are not tax deductible.

We define EBITDA as net income excluding: (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding (i) share-based compensation cost, (ii) certain litigation costs, (iii) foreign currency gains and losses, net, (iv) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including cost of sales from our Product Procurement Adjustment, and (v) the impact of a voluntary product recall. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are appropriate measures because they facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results according to GAAP, we believe provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.

Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation is completely eliminated in consolidation.

We refer to growth rates in net sales on a constant currency basis so that results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These amounts are calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides useful information in understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results.

Definitions

The following definitions apply to these terms as used in this release:

"Shack sales" is defined as the aggregate sales of food, beverages, gift card breakage income and Shake Shack branded merchandise at Company-operated Shacks and excludes sales from licensed Shacks.

“System-wide sales” is an operating measure and consists of sales from Company-operated Shacks and licensed Shacks. The Company does not recognize the sales from licensed Shacks as revenue. Of these amounts, revenue is limited to licensing revenue based on a percentage of sales from licensed Shacks, as well as certain up-front fees, such as territory fees, opening fees, and termination fees.

"Same-Shack sales" represents Shack sales for the comparable Shack base, which is defined as the number of Company-operated Shacks open for 24 full fiscal months or longer. For consecutive days that Shacks were temporarily closed, the comparative period was also adjusted.

"Restaurant-level profit," a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses including Food and paper costs, Labor and related expenses, Other operating expenses and Occupancy and related expenses.

"Restaurant-level profit margin," a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses including Food and paper costs, Labor and related expenses, Other operating expenses and Occupancy and related expenses as a percentage of Shack sales.

“EBITDA,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Net income before interest expense (net of interest income), Income tax expense, and Depreciation and amortization expense.

“Adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding equity-based compensation expense, Impairments, loss on disposal of assets, and Shack closures, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, as well as certain non-recurring items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of the Company's recurring business operations.

"Adjusted pro forma net income," a non-GAAP measure, represents Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that the Company does not believe are directly related to its core operations and may not be indicative of its recurring business operations.

SHAKE SHACK INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: Restaurant-level profit, Restaurant-level profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures").

Restaurant-Level Profit

Restaurant-level profit is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses including Food and paper costs, Labor and related expenses, Other operating expenses and Occupancy and related expenses.

How This Measure Is Useful

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of its Shacks. Additionally, Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin are key metrics used internally by management to develop internal budgets and forecasts, as well as assess the performance of its Shacks relative to budget and against prior periods. It is also used to evaluate employee compensation as it serves as a metric in certain performance-based employee bonus arrangements. The Company believes presentation of Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin provides investors with a supplemental view of its operating performance that can provide meaningful insights to the underlying operating performance of the Shacks, as these measures depict the operating results that are directly impacted by the Shacks and exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the ongoing operations of the Shacks. It may also assist investors to evaluate the Company's performance relative to peers of various sizes and maturities and provides greater transparency with respect to how management evaluates the business, as well as the financial and operational decision-making.

Limitations of the Usefulness of this Measure

Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Restaurant-level profit excludes certain costs, such as General and administrative expenses and Pre-opening costs, which are considered normal, recurring cash operating expenses and are essential to support the operation and development of the Company's Shacks. Therefore, this measure may not provide a complete understanding of the Company's operating results as a whole and Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial results.

A reconciliation of Restaurant-level profit to Income from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth below.

SHAKE SHACK INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Net income before interest expense (net of interest income), Income tax expense and Depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as EBITDA excluding equity-based compensation expense, Impairments, loss on the disposal of assets, and Shack closures, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, as well as certain non-recurring items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of the Company's recurring business operations.

How These Measures Are Useful

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors' operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used internally by management to develop internal budgets and forecasts and also serves as a metric in its performance-based equity incentive programs and certain bonus arrangements. The Company believes presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of its ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.

Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA exclude certain normal recurring expenses. Therefore, these measures may not provide a complete understanding of the Company's performance and should be reviewed in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.

A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to Net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below.

SHAKE SHACK INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged and Diluted Share

Adjusted pro forma net income represents Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that the Company does not believe are directly related to its core operations and may not be indicative of recurring business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.

How These Measures Are Useful

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate performance period over period and relative to its competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, the Company believes these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. driven by increases in its ownership of SSE Holdings, which are unrelated to the Company's operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures

Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share should not be considered alternatives to Net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share should be evaluated in conjunction with GAAP financial results.

A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are set forth below.

Organic Net Sales Returned to Growth; North America Performance Improved Meaningfully

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA Exceeded Expectations

Full Year Outlook Narrowed; Mid-points for Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA Remain Unchanged

, /PRNewswire/ -- Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC) today announced results for its third fiscal quarter 2026 ended June 30, 2026. 

Executive Summary

Third quarter net sales were $570.1 million, an increase of 1.7% compared to the prior year quarter. Organic net sales increased 1.1%. (Organic basis excludes the impact from currency movements.) GAAP Diluted net Earnings Per Share ("EPS") were $0.26, compared to $0.46 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EPS were $0.72 for the quarter, compared to $0.72 in the prior year quarter. Ended the third quarter with $397.1 million in cash on hand, access to an additional $418.8 million under the Company's U.S. revolving credit facility available. Returned $7.0 million to shareholders in the form of dividends in the third quarter. The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per common share on August 5, 2026, for the third quarter. "Our third quarter results represent an important step forward in our fiscal 2026 progression, with organic net sales returning to growth, meaningful improvement in North America, and adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA ahead of expectations," said Rod Little, Edgewell's President and Chief Executive Officer. "At the beginning of the year, we anticipated that fiscal 2026 would be a back-half story, and based on our current outlook, we remain on track to deliver on that commitment. Our priority brands continue to gain traction, and we believe that the investments we have made are strengthening our capabilities and improving business performance. We are increasingly confident in the trajectory of the business and the foundation we are building for future growth and value creation."

Unless otherwise noted, reported results in this release are based on continuing operations and exclude the Feminine Care business which is treated as discontinued operations. The Company reports and forecasts results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis and has reconciled non-GAAP results and outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures later in this release. See non-GAAP Financial Measures for a more detailed explanation, including definitions of various non-GAAP terms used in this release. All comparisons used in this release are for the same period in the prior fiscal year unless otherwise stated.

Fiscal 3Q 2026 Operating Results (Unaudited)

Net sales were $570.1 million in the quarter, an increase of $9.7 million, or 1.7%, including a $3.6 million, or 0.6% favorable impact from currency movements. Organic net sales increased $6.1 million, or 1.1%, reflecting a return to growth in North America, partially offset by lower sales in international markets. North America organic sales increased 3.0%, driven by volume growth across Sun, Skin Care and Grooming, reflecting improving execution, increased distribution and continued strength across several of the Company's priority brands. International organic sales declined 1.4%, primarily reflecting temporary disruption associated with the conflict in the Middle East and short-term supply chain impacts related to the Company's Wet Shave manufacturing consolidation, partially offset by growth in Grooming and several key international markets.

Gross profit was $242.5 million, as compared to $250.1 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin as a percent of net sales was 42.5%,a decrease of 210-basis points. Adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales decreased 30-basis points, to 44.5% in the quarter. Productivity savings of approximately 200-basis points and 40-basis points of favorable currency movements were more than offset by 160-basis points of core inflation and net tariffs and 110-basis points of unfavorable mix and promotional levels (net of pricing).

Advertising and sales promotion expense ("A&P") was $83.2 million, or 14.6% of net sales, an increase of $7.2 million, compared to $76.0 million, or 13.6% of net sales in the prior year quarter.     

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") was $108.3 million, or 19.0% of net sales, as compared to $100.7 million, or 18.0% of net sales in the prior year quarter. Adjusted SG&A was 18.4% of net sales, compared to 17.6% in the prior year quarter which was primarily driven by higher incentive compensation expense and unfavorable currency impacts in the current year, partly offset by lower people and consulting expenses.  

The Company recorded pre-tax restructuring and related costs in support of cost efficiency and effectiveness programs of $24.5 million in the quarter.

Operating income was $25.0 million, or 4.4% of net sales, inclusive of a $2.6 million, or 40-basis points impact from favorable currency movements, compared to income of $45.0 million, or 8.0% of net sales in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating income was $53.0 million, or 9.3% of net sales, compared to $63.6 million, or 11.3% of net sales in the prior year quarter.

Interest expense associated with debt was $16.7 million, compared to $19.4 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest expense was the result of lower borrowing levels on the Company's U.S. revolving credit facility due to the paydown of the facility with the proceeds of the Feminine Care divestiture.

Other (income) expense, net was income of $9.7 million compared to income of $2.9 million in the prior year quarter. The current year quarter included $7.7 million of Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") income. Additionally, the prior year quarter included $2.7 million of other project gains. Currency hedge and remeasurements gains were $0.6 million in the current quarter, compared to a gain of $1.1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted other (income) expense, net was income of $9.7 million compared to income of $0.2 million in the prior year quarter.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 was (17.0)% compared to 31.7% in the prior year period. The current year period reflects a tax expense on a loss. The fiscal 2026 effective tax rate reflects more favorable discrete and unusual items compared to fiscal 2025. The adjusted effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 was 26.3%, compared to 28.8%. from the prior year period.

GAAP net earnings from continuing operations was income of $12.3 million or $0.26 per diluted share compared to income of $21.5 million or $0.46 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations were $33.5 million or $0.72 per share, inclusive of a $0.04 favorable currency impact, compared to $33.6 million or $0.72 per share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $78.9 million, inclusive of a $2.1 million favorable currency impact, compared to $81.2 million in the prior year quarter. 

Net cash provided by operating activities on a consolidated basis, inclusive of continuing and discontinued operations was $47.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $44.3 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was largely driven by changes in net working capital. The third quarter ended with $397.1 million in cash on hand, access to $418.8 million under the Company's U.S. revolving credit facility and an adjusted net debt leverage ratio of 3.7x. The adjusted net debt leverage ratio reflects the trailing 12 month continuing operations EBITDA as well as the cash impact from temporary working capital and other items related to the Feminine Care divestiture.

Capital Allocation

On August 5, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share for the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2026. The dividend will be payable on October 8, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2026.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company paid dividends totaling $7.0 million to stockholders. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $85 million available for share repurchase in the future under the Board's 2025 authorization.

Fiscal 3Q 2026 Operating Segment Results (Unaudited)

Wet Shave (Men's Systems, Women's Systems, Disposables, and Shave Preps)

Net sales decreased $4.2 million, or 1.3%. Organic net sales decreased $6.1 million or 1.9%, as growth in the branded business was more than offset by lower Private Label sales, related to temporary supply constraints in North America and certain international markets. Segment profit decreased $9.2 million, or 20.9%. Organic segment profit, excluding the favorable impact from currency, decreased $10.9 million, or 24.7%, driven by higher SG&A and marketing expenses. 

Sun and Skin Care (Sun Care, Men's and Women's Grooming Products, and Wet Ones)

Net sales increased $13.9 million, or 5.7%. Organic net sales increased $12.2 million, or 5.0%, driven by mid-single digit growth in Sun Care in North America and strong global Grooming and Skin Care performance, partly offset by Sun Care declines in international markets. Segment profit increased $0.2 million, or 0.4%, including a favorable impact from foreign currency of $0.9 million, or 2.0%. Organic segment profit decreased $0.7 million, or 1.6%, driven by higher marketing and SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. While the Company reports financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the U.S., this discussion also includes non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are referred to as "adjusted" or "organic" and exclude items which are considered by the Company as unusual or non-recurring and which

may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company's financial results in any particular period. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations of measures related to the Company's fiscal 2026 financial outlook, are included within the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included with this release.

This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses this non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believes it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. The information can also be used to perform analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded. This non-GAAP information is a component in determining management's incentive compensation. Finally, the Company believes this information provides a higher degree of transparency. The following provides additional detail on the Company's non-GAAP measures:

The Company utilizes "adjusted" non-GAAP measures including gross margin, SG&A, operating income, operating margin, effective tax rate, net earnings, earnings per share, EBITDA, and other (income) expense to internally make operating decisions. Constant currency measures are calculated by removing the impact of translational and transactional foreign currencies changes, net of foreign currency hedges compared to the prior year. Transactional foreign currency changes are driven by foreign legal entities' transactions not denominated in local currency. The Company analyzes its net sales and segment profit on an organic basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Organic net sales and organic segment profit exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency. Segment profit is impacted by fluctuations in translation and transactional foreign currency. The impact of currency was applied to segments using management's best estimate. The Company presents certain metrics on a consolidated and continuing operations basis to help with comparability. Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures plus collections of deferred purchase price of accounts receivable sold and proceeds from sales of fixed assets. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow, adjusted for the following: the one-time operating cash flow impacts associated directly with Feminine Care divestiture including tax, working capital, and deal related fees and expenses. Net debt is defined as Gross debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt leverage ratio is defined as net debt divided by trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net debt leverage ratio is defined as net debt divided by continuing operations trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA, which includes Transition Services Agreement income realized in fiscal Q2 and Q3 (five months), plus $15 million of pro forma Transition Services Agreement income (seven months).

EDGEWELL PERSONAL CARE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, in millions, except per share data)

Note 1 —  Segments

The Company conducts its business in the following two segments: Wet Shave and Sun and Skin Care (collectively, the "Segments," and each individually, a "Segment"). Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, items which are considered by the Company to be unusual or non-recurring and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company's financial results in any particular period and the amortization of intangible assets. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management's view on how it evaluates segment performance.

Segment net sales and profitability are presented below:

5.8.2026 13:25, LLY

Farmaceutický gigant Eli Lilly zveřejnil výsledky za druhý kvartál roku 2026. Tržby díky lékům Mounjaro a Zepbound meziročně vzrostly téměř o polovinu a o více než 2 mld. USD překonaly odhady analytiků. Společnost zvýšila celoroční výhled tržeb o 3 mld. USD, horní hranici výhledu zisku na akcii však snížily odpisy nakoupeného výzkumu a vývoje.

Výsledky společnosti Eli Lilly (LLY) za 2Q 2026   2Q 2026 Konsensus 2Q 2026 2Q 2025 Tržby (mld. USD) 22,97 20,59 15,56 Čistý zisk (mld. USD) 7,10 -- 5,66 Očištěný zisk na akcii (EPS, USD/akcie) 8,38 -- 6,31 Výsledky Tržby společnosti ve 2Q meziročně vzrostly o 48 % na 22,97 mld. USD, a to díky 60% nárůstu objemu prodejů, což bylo částečně kompenzováno 13% poklesem realizovaných cen. Konsensus počítal s 20,59 mld. USD.

Tržby ve Spojených státech meziročně vzrostly o 33 % na 14,4 mld. USD při 37% nárůstu objemu a 3% poklesu realizovaných cen. Tržby mimo Spojené státy vzrostly o 80 % na 8,6 mld. USD, objem prodejů stoupl o 113 %, realizované ceny naopak klesly o 36 % především kvůli zařazení léku Mounjaro na čínský seznam hrazených léčiv (NRDL).

Největší podíl na tržbách zaujímá lék na cukrovku Mounjaro, kterému tržby meziročně vzrostly o 91 % na 9,94 mld. USD, výrazně nad očekáváním 8,83 mld. USD. V USA přidal 45 % na 4,8 mld. USD, mimo USA se tržby zvýšily o 172 % na 5,2 mld. USD.

Tržby z léku na hubnutí Zepbound meziročně vzrostly o 46 % na 4,93 mld. USD, nad konsensem 4,64 mld. USD. V USA tržby stouply o 44 % na 4,9 mld. USD, tažené silnou poptávkou, částečně kompenzovanou nižšími realizovanými cenami.

Vývoj tržeb léku na hubnutí Zepbound, zdroj: Eli Lilly

Nově uvedená pilulka na hubnutí Foundayo (orforglipron) přispěla ve svém prvním plném kvartále tržbami 98 mil. USD, mírně nad očekáváním 92 mil. USD.

Lék Verzenio určený i pro léčbu rakoviny prsu se podílel na tržbách 1,47 mld. USD, meziročně o 1 % méně a mírně pod konsensem 1,5 mld. USD. Lék Trulicity vykázal tržby 1,22 mld. USD oproti očekávaným 868,8 mil. USD, Taltz 856 mil. USD (konsensus 854,7 mil. USD) a Humalog 410 mil. USD (konsensus 448,5 mil. USD).

Očištěná hrubá marže dosáhla 86,3 %, meziročně o 1,3 p. b. více, a to díky nižším výrobním nákladům a příznivému mixu produktů.

Výdaje na výzkum a vývoj se meziročně zvýšily o 14 % na 3,82 mld. USD, očekávalo se 4,05 mld. USD. Marketingové, prodejní a administrativní náklady vzrostly o 25 % na 3,43 mld. USD.

Společnost zaúčtovala odpisy nakoupeného výzkumu a vývoje (IPR&D) ve výši 2,78 mld. USD, a to především v souvislosti s akvizicemi společností Orna Therapeutics a Ajax Therapeutics. V přepočtu na akcii šlo o 3,03 USD, které jsou zahrnuty jak ve vykázaném, tak v očištěném zisku na akcii.

Výhled Eli Lilly v roce 2026 očekává:

Tržby v rozmezí 85 až 87 mld. USD, dříve projektovala 82 až 85 mld. USD. Tržní konsensus činil 85,31 mld. USD. Očištěný zisk na akcii ve výši 35,50 až 36,50 USD, dříve společnost odhadovala 35,50 až 37,00 USD. Výhled zisku byl v polovině pásma zvýšen o 2,78 USD díky silnému provoznímu růstu, to však bylo více než vykompenzováno 3,03 USD z akvizičních odpisů nakoupeného výzkumu a vývoje ve 2Q. Návrat kapitálu akcionářům Společnost v průběhu první poloviny roku navrátila svým akcionářům 3,1 mld. USD v dividendách a 4,0 mld. USD ve zpětných odkupech akcií.

Komentář CEO „Dynamika Lilly pokračuje, doručili jsme 48% růst tržeb a zvýšili jsme celoroční výhled," uvedl generální ředitel David A. Ricks. „Lilly zároveň staví na budoucnost. S naším lékem na hubnutí nové generace retatrutidem a kompletním klinickým balíkem v ruce, s novými výrobními kapacitami a s aktivy vstupujícími do našeho portfolia skrze akvizice nebyla budoucnost Lilly po 150 letech nikdy jasnější," dodal Ricks.

“We executed well in the second quarter, delivering revenue above the high-end of our guidance range and reaching the high-end of our non-GAAP EPS range,” said Scott Russell, CEO of NiCE. “Underlying demand trends across our business continued to gain momentum during the second quarter as organizations increasingly consolidate their customer engagement needs on our AI-native CXone platform. This drove a record second quarter for new cloud ACV bookings, including an all-time record quarter for AI bookings with strong momentum at NiCE Cognigy. AI continues to become a more meaningful contributor to our business, with AI ARR reaching $362 million and now representing 15% of our cloud revenue. We are still in the early stages of a much broader AI adoption cycle across our customer base.”

Mr. Russell continued, “Enterprises are moving beyond AI experimentation and increasingly focusing on platforms that quickly deliver measurable outcomes in production environments. By embedding Cognigy natively into CXone, we're combining leading agentic AI with decades of CX expertise and data to deliver better enterprise outcomes. Through this native integration, we are accelerating innovation across our platform, growing partner engagement, and increasing adoption among large enterprises globally. NiCE remains strongly positioned to extend our leadership in CX AI and capture the significant opportunity ahead.”

Quarterly Results Conference Call

NiCE management will host its earnings conference call today, August 5, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET, 13:30 GMT, 15:30 Israel, to discuss the results and the company's outlook. A live webcast and replay will be available on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website. To access, please register by clicking here: https://www.nice.com/company/investors/ir-events.

Explanation of Non-GAAP measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, gains on intercompany foreign currency transactions, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of discount on debt, the tax effect of the Non-GAAP adjustments, and the tax rate impact resulting from the non-U.S. intercompany transaction.

The Company believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures, used in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide investors with useful supplemental information about the ongoing financial performance of our business. Our management regularly uses our supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. These Non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Our Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company provides guidance only on a Non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of guidance from a GAAP to Non-GAAP basis is not available due to the unpredictability and uncertainty associated with future events that would be reported in GAAP results and would require adjustments between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures, including the impact of future possible business acquisitions. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the guidance based on Non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP financial measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable effort.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capri Holdings Limited (NYSE:CPRI), a global fashion luxury group, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 ended June 27, 2026.

First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Highlights from Continuing Operations

Revenue decreased 3.5% on a reported basis and 4.1% in constant currency Operating margin was 2.2%; adjusted operating margin was 3.6% Earnings per share were $0.60; adjusted earnings per share were $0.67 John D. Idol, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are encouraged by our first quarter results, which exceeded our expectations and demonstrated the progress we are making to build a stronger and more profitable business. Our strategic initiatives across both Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo are driving deeper consumer engagement through enhanced brand storytelling and compelling product innovation."

Mr. Idol continued, "As we look at the balance of fiscal 2027 we expect Jimmy Choo to continue to grow and return to profitability. At Michael Kors certain headwinds including lower than anticipated inventory levels in the second quarter, softer trends in EMEA and updated foreign currency exchange rate assumptions are impacting our revenue outlook. As a result we now expect fiscal 2027 revenue of approximately $3.4 billion. Based on our revised revenue expectations we are taking actions to reduce operating expenses which are enabling us to maintain our fiscal 2027 earnings per share outlook of approximately $2.15, representing 40% growth over the prior year."

Mr. Idol concluded, "Looking beyond fiscal 2027 the opportunity for Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo remains significant. As our strategic initiatives continue to gain momentum, Capri Holdings is well positioned to drive sustainable growth, enhance profitability and create meaningful long-term value for our shareholders."

First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results

Financial Results and Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The Company's results are reported in this press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information is provided at the end of this press release.

As previously disclosed, on April 10, 2025, the Company and Prada S.p.A. (“Prada”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby Prada agreed to acquire certain subsidiaries of the Company which operate the Company’s Versace business. As a result, the Company classified the results of operations and cash flows of its Versace business as discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 28, 2025. On December 2, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Versace business. Unless otherwise noted, the discussion below, including analysis of financial condition and results of operations, relates only to continuing operations.

Overview of Capri Holdings First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results

Total revenue of $769 million decreased 3.5% compared to last year. On a constant currency basis, total revenue decreased 4.1%. Gross profit was $500 million and gross margin was 65.0%, compared to $502 million and 63.0% in the prior year. The 200 basis point increase in gross margin was primarily driven by higher full-price sell-throughs and lower tariff rates relative to the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Income from operations was $17 million and operating margin was 2.2%, compared to income from operations of $16 million and operating margin of 2.0% in the prior year. Adjusted income from operations was $28 million and adjusted operating margin was 3.6%, compared to $20 million and 2.5% in the prior year. Net income was $69 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to net income of $56 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $76 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $60 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the prior year. Net inventory as of June 27, 2026 was $624 million, a 20% decrease compared to the prior year. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the first quarter was $73 million, while capital expenditures were $25 million, resulting in free cash flow of $48 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $114 million, and total borrowings outstanding were $338 million, resulting in net debt of $224 million as of June 27, 2026 versus $1.5 billion as of June 28, 2025. Michael Kors First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results

Michael Kors revenue of $590 million decreased 7.1% compared to last year. On a constant currency basis, Michael Kors revenue declined 7.6%. Approximately $10 million of revenue was attributable to earlier than anticipated timing of wholesale shipments. Michael Kors gross profit was $377 million and gross margin was 63.9%, compared to $388 million and 61.1% in the prior year. The 280 basis point increase in gross margin was primarily driven by higher full-price sell-throughs and lower tariff rates relative to the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Michael Kors operating income was $55 million and operating margin was 9.3%, compared to $63 million and 9.9% in the prior year. The 60 basis point decline in operating margin was primarily due to expense deleverage on lower revenue. Jimmy Choo First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results

Jimmy Choo revenue of $179 million increased 10.5% compared to last year. On a constant currency basis, Jimmy Choo revenue increased 9.3%. Jimmy Choo gross profit was $123 million and gross margin was 68.7%, compared to $114 million and 70.4% in the prior year. The 170 basis point decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by channel mix. Jimmy Choo operating income was $13 million and operating margin was 7.3%, compared to operating income of $4 million and operating margin of 2.5% in the prior year. The 480 basis point increase in operating margin was primarily due to expense leverage on higher revenue. Share Repurchase Program

During the fiscal first quarter, the Company spent $50 million to repurchase approximately 2.6 million ordinary shares in open market transactions at an average cost of approximately $19.31 per share. As of June 27, 2026 the remaining availability under the Company's share repurchase program was $871 million.

Outlook

The following guidance is provided on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis. Guidance assumes an incremental 10% tariff rate on imports into the United States through July 24, 2026 and 10% to 12.5% thereafter. Financial results could differ materially from the current outlook due to a number of external events which are not reflected in our guidance, including changes in global macroeconomic conditions, incremental tariff rates in excess of our assumptions, greater than anticipated inflationary pressures or weakening consumer confidence, and further considerable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Fiscal Year 2027 Outlook

For Capri Holdings, the Company now expects the following:

Total revenue of approximately $3.4 billion impacted by approximately $50 million from lower than anticipated second quarter revenue at Michael Kors due to inventory delays, $50 million from softer trends in EMEA due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and $35 million from foreign currency headwinds relative to our prior expectation. Operating income of approximately $170 million Net interest and other income of approximately $100 million Effective tax rate in the low-teens range Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 110 million Diluted earnings per share of approximately $2.15 For Michael Kors, the Company expects the following:

Total revenue of approximately $2.765 billion Operating margin in the low-double-digit range For Jimmy Choo, the Company expects the following:

Total revenue of approximately $635 million Operating margin in the low-single-digit range Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 Outlook

For Capri Holdings, the Company expects the following:

Total revenue of approximately $780 million impacted by approximately $50 million associated with inventory delays at Michael Kors, $15 million from softer than previously anticipated trends in EMEA, $10 million from foreign currency headwinds and $10 million related to the timing shift of wholesale shipments that benefited the first quarter. Operating income of approximately $10 million Net interest and other income of approximately $25 million Effective tax rate in the mid-30% range Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 112 million Diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.20 For Michael Kors, the Company expects the following:

Total revenue of approximately $645 million Operating margin in the high-single-digit range For Jimmy Choo, the Company expects the following:

Total revenue of approximately $135 million Operating margin in the negative mid-single-digit range The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial outlook to the corresponding GAAP measures presented in this press release and on the Company’s conference call without unreasonable effort due to the challenge in quantifying various significant items, including, but not limited to, foreign currency fluctuations, taxes, increased tariffs, and any future restructuring and other charges and expenses.

Conference Call Information

A conference call to discuss first quarter fiscal 2027 results is scheduled for today, August 5, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. ET. A live webcast of the conference call will be available on the Company's website, www.capriholdings.com. In addition, a replay will be available shortly after the conclusion of the call and remain available until August 12, 2026. To access the telephone replay, listeners should dial 1 (844) 512-2921 or 1 (412) 317-6671 for international callers. The access code for the replay is 13758328. A replay of the webcast will also be available within two hours of the conclusion of the call.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Constant currency effects are non-GAAP financial measures, which are provided to supplement our reported operating results to facilitate comparisons of our operating results and trends in our business, excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant effect on our reported results. The Company believes presenting metrics on a constant currency basis will help investors to understand the effect of significant year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and provide a framework to assess how the business is performing and expected to perform excluding these effects. We calculate constant currency measures and the related foreign currency impacts by translating the current year's reported amounts into comparable amounts using prior year's foreign exchange rates for each currency. All constant currency performance measures discussed in this press release should be considered a supplement to and not in lieu of our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company also presents free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by taking net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for the period. The Company believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of cash that is available after giving effect to our capital and strategic plans, and that it is useful to investors because it measures the Company’s ability to generate cash. Additionally, this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain one-time, non-recurring costs associated with restructuring activities, our store renovation plan, merger and divestiture transactions and Capri transformation initiatives. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, among other things, to evaluate its operating performance and in order to represent the manner in which the Company conducts and views its business. The Company believes that excluding these items, which are not comparable from period to period, helps investors compare operating and financial performance in a manner consistent with management's evaluation of ongoing business performance. While the Company considers the non-GAAP measures to be useful supplemental measures in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, nor act as a substitute for, any amounts presented in its consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.

Circle zvýšila výnosy a čistý zisk ve 2. čtvrtletí
CRCL Circle Internet Group
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL) today announced results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Financial Highlights (Q2’26 vs. Q2’25)

USDC in circulation of $73.3 billion at quarter end, 19% growth year-over-year; USDC onchain transaction volume in Q2’26 of $14.8 trillion grew 151% year-over-year. Total revenue and reserve income in Q2’26 of $701 million grew 7% year-over-year. Net income from continuing operations in Q2’26 of $48 million increased $530 million year-over-year, driven by prior-year IPO stock-based compensation impacts. Adjusted EBITDA in Q2’26 of $143 million grew 8% year-over-year. Business Highlights

Arc today has over 100 ecosystem and institutional builders. September 16 public mainnet launch will unveil a full product suite that includes privacy capabilities, an agent stack for programmable finance, and support for tokenized real-world assets. Network Validators: Circle announced the founding third party validator cohort for Arc today, a curated set of global financial institutions representing a new model for blockchain infrastructure where the institutions that depend on network integrity are also the institutions that secure it. Alongside Circle, validators include: BlackRock, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), Galaxy, Global Payments, ICE, Mastercard, MoneyGram, SBI Group, Standard Chartered, Sumitomo Corporation, and Visa. Financial Institution Traction: BlackRock, BNY, DTCC, and Standard Chartered each building and exploring integrations with Arc, spanning tokenized asset settlement, digital asset custody, stablecoin access, and FX and repo infrastructure. BlackRock is expected to deploy BUIDL, the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, on Arc. DTCC will enable the tokenization of The Depository Trust Company (DTC)-custodied assets on Arc. New and Expanded USDC Use Cases/Commercial Updates BNY expanded its partnership with Circle, adding USDC minting and redemption directly within BNY's Digital Asset Custody platform, building on BNY's existing role as primary custodian of USDC reserves. Grupo Bind announced a collaboration with Circle to bring USDC access to institutions in Argentina. A major step for USDC/ARS liquidity. JCB combined Circle’s stablecoin infrastructure with JCB's global merchant network, focusing initially on cross-border treasury transfers using USDC and in-store stablecoin payment experiences for merchants and international visitors in Japan. Kakao Group began exploration of blockchain payment infrastructure and USDC integration in Korea. Marex enabled the first stablecoin-powered initial margin transaction in regulated derivatives clearing — allowing institutional clients to post USDC as collateral for CFTC-regulated derivatives under the December 2025 CFTC no-action letter. Nium partnered with Circle to connect USDC settlement with their global payout infrastructure across 190+ countries, permitting financial institutions to move funds via USDC through the Circle Payments Network and settle in local currencies. Standard Chartered launched integrated access to USDC minting and redemption, allowing institutional clients to convert between fiat and USDC through a single bank-led onboarding experience. Trust Bank Approvals: Circle received final approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish a national trust bank, Circle National Trust, which makes Circle one of the first stablecoin issuers to hold a federal bank charter. The approval authorizes federally regulated digital asset custody and enables future capabilities, including management of the USDC Reserve, which would further enhance the safety, transparency, and trust of USDC. Additionally, Circle received approval from the New York Department of Financial Services to open Circle New York Trust as a digital asset-focused limited purpose trust company. Continued CPN Expansion: CPN reached $14.7 billion in annualized transaction volume for the trailing 30 days as of the end of Q2, up 76% quarter-over-quarter, with 175 financial institutions enrolled, up 29% quarter-over-quarter. Agentic Economy Momentum: After shipping payment infrastructure for agents in H1, Circle launched Agent Stack in May 2026 — currently home to 900+ paid services — with 99.3% of x402 agent-payment volume settling in USDC. Circle will turn to a more fulsome agentic product roadmap in H2 that includes enabling agents to earn. “Our quarterly financial results reflect the current rate environment and a crypto market that has slowed – both are conditions outside our network. But near-term activity tells a different story. We received our federal trust bank charter; Arc is launching on public mainnet September 16th; we launched the Agent Stack to put programmable money at the center of the agentic economy; and the institutions using USDC today, like BlackRock, BNY, and Standard Chartered aren't piloting, they are expanding," said Jeremy Allaire, Co-Founder, CEO, and Chairman at Circle. "We have built the platform for the internet financial system – for traditional and digital finance, real-world assets, and the institutions that move the world's capital. That trust is earned, not assumed, and it took over a decade to build. We're only beginning to see what it unlocks."

(3) Net Income from Continuing Operations Margin is calculated as Net Income from Continuing Operations / Total Revenue and Reserve Income.

(4) Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further details and a reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measures presented. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA (New Definition) / Total Revenue and Reserve Income less Total Distribution, Transaction & Other Costs. See the Appendix for a reconciliation.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights and Operating Results

Reserve Income of $668 million increased 5% year-over-year, primarily from the 25% growth in average USDC in Circulation, partially offset by a 66 bps decline in the Reserve Return Rate. Other Revenue of $34 million increased 41% year-over-year from growth in subscription and services revenue. Total Distribution, Transaction and Other Costs of $412 million increased 1% year-over-year, mostly from increased distribution payments. Operating Expenses of $254 million decreased 56% year-over-year, primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense following our IPO in Q2 2025. Adjusted Operating Expenses of $146 million increased 23% year-over-year, primarily driven by continued investment in product development, infrastructure, and AI capabilities. Net Income of $48 million increased $530 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense following our IPO in Q2 2025. Adjusted EBITDA of $143 million increased 8% year-over-year reflecting the revenue growth from higher USDC in circulation, partially offset by increased investment in costs related to new products.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future operating results and financial position; our plans with respect to the anticipated future expenses and investments; expectations relating to certain of our key financial and operating metrics; our business strategy and plans; expectations relating to legal and regulatory proceedings; expectations relating to our industry, the regulatory environment, market conditions, trends and growth; expectations relating to customer behaviors and preferences; our market position; potential market opportunities; and our objectives for future operations. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “target,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations, assumptions, and projections based on information available at the time the statements were made. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including, but not limited to: intense and increasing competition from new and existing issuers offering competing products, combined with the rise of yield-bearing digital assets, including TMMFs, that are attractive to digital asset trading participants, may reduce market demand and circulation of Circle stablecoins; stablecoins may face periods of uncertainty, loss of trust, or systemic shocks resulting in the potential for rapid redemption requests (or runs), and extreme scenarios, such as market shocks that affect the value of USDC’s reserves or simultaneous requests to redeem all or substantially all USDC in circulation, or concerns related to Circle stablecoin reserves, may lead to redemption delays and USDC reserves being insufficient to meet all redemption requests; as a relatively new innovation, stablecoins are particularly susceptible to operational challenges and risks, including due to surges in demand; any negative publicity regarding stablecoins or the broader digital asset industry may have an outsized negative effect on consumer confidence; the acceptance of Circle stablecoins could be negatively impacted by disruptions in secondary marketplaces that facilitate the purchase and sale of Circle stablecoins; the GENIUS Act will change the payment stablecoin ecosystem and may affect our business in ways that cannot yet be known; the GENIUS Act amends the U.S. federal securities laws to explicitly exclude from the definition of “security” payment stablecoins issued by PPSIs, which will include USDC, however, until those amendments are effective, we will continue to rely on our conclusion that USDC is not a security under the U.S. federal securities laws; we hold a substantial amount of USDC reserves in the Circle Reserve Fund and thus are subject to risks associated with the issuer, the manager, and the custodian of the Circle Reserve Fund; any significant disruption in our or our third-party service providers’ or partners’ technology could result in a loss of customers or funds and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects; our customers’ funds and digital assets may fail to be adequately safeguarded by us or the third-party service providers upon whom we rely; our inability to maintain existing relationships with financial institutions and similar firms or to enter into new such relationships could impact our ability to offer services to customers; we are subject to credit risks in respect of counterparties, including banks and other financial institutions; if we are unable to maintain existing distribution arrangements or enter into additional distribution arrangements on less favorable financial terms, USDC and EURC in circulation and Circle’s financial results may be adversely affected; Arc and the ARC Token involve execution, market, and operational risk, including risks relating to launch timing, ecosystem adoption in a competitive blockchain market, technology and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, validator and governance dynamics, token price volatility, and the operational complexity of running the network and related treasury infrastructure; Arc and the ARC Token present legal, regulatory, and structural risk, including uncertainty under securities and other financial regulatory regimes, risks arising from token presale and distribution arrangements, potential liability tied to third-party ecosystem participants, conflicts and governance issues during any transition to decentralization, and possible repayment obligations if key launch milestones are not achieved; our products and services may be exploited by our customers, employees, service providers, and other third parties to facilitate illegal activity such as fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, gambling, tax evasion, and scams; our compliance and risk management methods might not be effective; fluctuations in interest rates could impact our results of operations; we are subject to an extensive and highly evolving regulatory landscape; the regulatory environment to which we are subject gives rise to various licensing requirements, significant compliance costs and other restrictions, and noncompliance could result in a range of penalties, including fines, compliance costs, operational restrictions, reputational damage, and loss of licenses; we are subject to laws, regulations, and executive orders regarding economic and trade sanctions, anti-bribery, AML, and counter-terrorism financing that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to criminal or civil liability if we violate them; insiders will continue to have substantial control over Circle and limit shareholders’ ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control; and our development and use of artificial intelligence in our business could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. For a detailed discussion of the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expressed in any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026 as well as in other filings we may make with the SEC from time to time. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Nothing in this communication constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities or an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Expenses are non-GAAP financial measures regarding our operational performance.

Management and our board of directors use non-GAAP financial measures to (i) monitor and evaluate the growth and performance of our business operations, (ii) evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance as well as our performance relative to our competitors, (iii) review and assess the performance of our management team and other employees, and (iv) prepare budgets and evaluate strategic investments. Accordingly, we believe that non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Expenses, have limitations as financial measures and should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding: net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests; depreciation and amortization expenses; interest expense, net of amortization of discounts and premiums; interest income; income tax expense (benefit); stock-based compensation expense and payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation; certain legal expenses; realized and unrealized (gains) losses, net, on digital assets held for investment, other related investments and strategic investments; realized (gains) losses on available-for-sale debt securities; impairment losses on strategic investments; restructuring expenses; acquisition-related costs; change in fair value of convertible debt, warrant liability, embedded derivatives and U.S. Treasury securities; charitable contributions to Circle Foundation; losses on sale of long-lived assets; and foreign currency exchange (gains) losses.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we have amended the above definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, because these taxes are directly related to stock-based compensation expense which is already excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. These expenses represent employer payroll taxes related to the vesting and settlement of certain equity awards, and are variable with our stock price and other factors outside of our control.

We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and change in fair value of various financial instruments as well as certain cash charges such as payroll tax related to stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. We believe it is useful to exclude income tax expense (benefit), interest income, interest expense, and non-routine items as these items are not components of our core business operations.

Adjusted Operating Expenses

Adjusted Operating Expenses excludes depreciation and amortization, charitable contributions to Circle Foundation, digital assets losses (gains), and stock-based compensation. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we have amended the definition of Adjusted Operating Expenses to exclude (a) payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, because these taxes are directly related to stock-based compensation expense which is already excluded from Adjusted Operating Expenses and these taxes are variable with our stock price and other factors outside of our control (which will also be reflected in Adjusted EBITDA as discussed above), as well as (b) certain one-time legal expenses, acquisition-related costs, and where relevant, restructuring expenses, as they reflect the same adjustments as in Adjusted EBITDA.

We believe it is useful to exclude certain non-cash charges from Adjusted Operating Expenses because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.

We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (loss) from Continuing Operations and of Adjusted Operating Expenses to Operating Expenses, in each case, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

SanDisk čeká po výsledcích prudký pohyb kvůli NAND
SNDK Sandisk
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
SanDisk stock NASDAQ:SNDK was priced for a move of more than $200 after Wednesday’s earnings, reflecting high uncertainty around a company with a bullish underlying story.

Options expiring on Friday implied a swing of about $212.30, or 14.9%, in either direction, placing the stock between roughly $1,211 and $1,635.

The signal is not a forecast of gains or losses, but shows traders expect a large surprise as NAND prices rise and data-centre customers compete for storage capacity.

After a 500% rally this year, another strong quarter may no longer be enough.

Investors want proof that pricing power and long-term contracts can make this memory cycle more durable than previous booms.

SanDisk closed 10.8% higher at $1,427.62 on Tuesday before slipping 1.1% to $1,412.14 by 4.38 AM ET on Wednesday.

The shares remained 39% below their June high, highlighting the extreme volatility surrounding the AI-memory trade.

The latest options estimate is above the roughly 10.3% average predicted move recorded across previous earnings events.

Different calculations have produced larger or smaller figures because option prices, expiration dates and methods change, but each points to elevated risk.

Options do not indicate direction. They measure the size of the reaction traders are paying to protect against.

That distinction matters after SanDisk’s 47% July decline, its worst month since returning to public markets.

The correction reduced some valuation pressure, but Tuesday’s rebound showed that enthusiasm can return as quickly as it disappears.

SanDisk will report fiscal fourth-quarter results after Wednesday’s closing bell and hold its conference call at 4.30 PM ET.

Visible Alpha expects revenue of $8.7 billion and adjusted earnings of $35.45 a share. Both sit above SanDisk’s guidance for revenue between $7.8 billion and $8.3 billion and adjusted earnings of $30 to $33.

That gap means reaching management’s forecast may still disappoint.

Morgan Stanley analysts described demand for SanDisk hardware as “unequivocally strong and durable.”

Some data-centre customers are reportedly concerned that demand could exceed supply for another two years.

Investors will scrutinise NAND selling prices, enterprise solid-state-drive growth, bit shipments, manufacturing costs and fiscal 2027 guidance.

All four analysts tracked by Visible Alpha rate the stock Buy, with an average target of about $2,250, leaving little room for a cautious outlook.

Also read- Top DRAM ETF stocks to watch this week: Western Digital, SanDisk, Micron

The central question is whether SanDisk’s new business model agreements can reduce the boom-and-bust volatility historically associated with memory.

Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani estimates that five agreements represent about $62 billion of minimum committed revenue, supported by more than $11 billion of guarantees and prepayments.

He believes investors are underestimating the durability of earnings and free cash flow and maintains a $3,100 target.

The contracts provide greater visibility, but investors need details on pricing, volumes, customer obligations and whether guaranteed demand limits SanDisk’s ability to benefit from future price increases.

Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers called the earnings setup “tactically positive”, according to TipRanks, while retaining a Hold rating and raising his target to $1,620.

He expects attention to centre on the agreements, enterprise SSD momentum, the Stargate ramp and SanDisk’s effort to reach gross margins in the mid-80% range.

Uber a Wayve se blíží k autonomním jízdám v Londýně
UBER Uber
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and Wayve’s partnership to bring autonomous rides to London has taken an important step forward after Transport for London (TfL) granted Private Hire Vehicle licences to a number of Wayve’s autonomous all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles. The cars, which are equipped with the Wayve AI Driver and surround cameras and radar, were inspected to confirm that these vehicles meet all of TfL’s policy and safety standards.

The licensing of the vehicles completes the “triple-lock” requirement for Private Hire trips, where the operator, driver and vehicle must all hold licences with the same licensing authority. Trips will take place under the Government’s AV Trialling Code of Practice and Uber’s TfL Private Hire Operator licence. Wayve’s vehicles are designed to operate autonomously, and will do the driving, with a trained and TfL licensed private hire driver onboard to oversee the trip and provide support or take over driving if needed.

There has been strong interest from Londoners in the chance to take a trip in an autonomous Wayve on Uber. In the last eight weeks alone, more than 100,000 Londoners have signed up to join Uber’s Interest List, giving them a chance to be matched with a Wayve autonomous ride at launch. To help fine-tune the experience and inform the future of transport in London, later this summer, select riders who joined the Interest List will get access to Wayve rides to give feedback on the experience, as the companies prepare for the full public launch.

Sarah Gates, VP Global Affairs & Assurance, said: “This licence is an important step towards giving Londoners the chance to experience autonomous driving technology. The responsible deployment of these vehicles will bring us safer, cleaner and quieter streets, and we’re proud to continue working alongside regulators, communities, and the public as we take the next steps towards making autonomous rides a reality in the capital.”

Annie Duvnjak, Global Head of Autonomous Mobility Operations at Uber, said: “This licence is a key milestone in bringing autonomous rides to London on Uber. Our interest list has seen an incredible response from Londoners who are excited to experience Wayve's British-built autonomous driving technology.”

Wayve’s AI-first approach, known as AV2.0, moves beyond the constraints of traditional AV systems that rely on HD maps, hand-coded rules, or geofenced domains. Instead, Wayve’s AI Driver learns from experience like a human driver, enabling it to adapt to new roads, vehicles, weather conditions, and cities with unprecedented speed and efficiency. Built and trained on UK roads, Wayve’s autonomous driving technology has been testing in London’s challenging roads since 2018, and has since demonstrated its adaptability across more than 500 cities worldwide.

Uber is focused on making electric, shared, and autonomous transportation a reality. With more than 30 AV partners and millions of autonomous trips completed each year, the company is building the industry’s first hybrid network—where autonomous vehicles and drivers work side by side to make transportation more affordable, sustainable, and accessible for all.

About Uber

Uber’s mission is to create opportunity through movement. We started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: how do you get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 75 billion trips later, we’re building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.

About Wayve

Founded in 2017, Wayve is the leading developer of Embodied AI technology for automated driving. Its advanced AI software and foundation models for autonomy enable vehicles to perceive, understand, and navigate any environment, enhancing the usability and safety of autonomous driving systems. Wayve develops mapless and hardware-agnostic Embodied AI products for automakers and fleet owners, accelerating the path from assisted to automated driving. Backed by top investors like SoftBank Group, NVIDIA, Uber, and Eclipse Ventures, Wayve’s mission is to reimagine mobility with embodied intelligence. To learn more, please visit www.wayve.ai.

Amazonem vlastněná Zoox získala povolení účtovat jízdné za robotaxi v Las Vegas
AMZN Amazon
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
The race to operating fleets of driverless vehicle robotaxis is heating up among a number of significant competitors. Alphabet's (GOOG +0.77%)(GOOGL +1.11%) Waymo has already tallied up more than 220 million fully autonomous miles, rider-only with no supervision. Tesla's (TSLA +1.64%) Cybercab ambitions are well publicized, even if its driverless programs are only slowly expanding. But it was actually Amazon (AMZN -2.32%) that recently landed a big win against its competitors.

Details on Amazon approval Amazon-owned Zoox was just given temporary permission by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to commercially deploy steering-wheel-free robotaxis, adding pressure to the robotaxi competition. This is significant because the vast majority of competitors, such as Waymo, are modifying traditional passenger cars. The difference is that the Zoox vehicle was developed from the ground up and is produced without manual controls, making it the first purpose-built driverless vehicle to receive approval.

"We can say pretty clearly that the systems in place on the Zoox exceed the equivalent performance requirements of a compliant vehicle," said the NHTSA's Jonathan Morrison regarding the agency granting temporary approval.

Zoox said the NHTSA's approval gives the company the federal go-ahead to begin charging for rides. Zoox acknowledged it would begin charging for its service in Las Vegas first, with additional markets to follow after various state requirements are met. Zoox's approval enables the company to commercially deploy up to 2,500 vehicles annually for two years, or a total of 5,000 vehicles.

It's a big win for Zoox against Waymo and Tesla, which are also racing to expand their autonomous ride-hailing services. While Waymo remains the clear market leader in operating paid fleets in multiple areas, this serves notice that a significant competitor with Amazon's backing will be a long-term competitor with the ability to scale.

What it all means For Tesla, it's a reminder that it still has to get its own approval federally, and without it, its physical fleet will be legally restricted compared to Zoox's. Currently, Tesla's robotaxi service is operating unsupervised rides with Model Y vehicles in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa.

While it's fair to say that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been incorrectly predicting the mass rollout of autonomous vehicles for almost a decade, he isn't pulling back. In fact, he recently predicted via a video call at the Samson International Smart Mobility Summit in Tel Aviv that "10 years from now probably 90% of all distance driven will be driven by the AI in a self-driving car."

There's a lot riding on the driverless vehicle business for long-term Tesla investors. The company's massive market capitalization is supported by the belief that the company's transition from a traditional automaker to one that revolves around humanoid robots, robotaxi fleets, and artificial intelligence will grant it a more lucrative future. Currently, Tesla's robotaxi ambitions seem more hype than reality, and for investors, that's something that needs to change in the near term. Zoox receiving federal approval and beginning to charge for rides only applies more pressure for Tesla and Waymo.

SummaryCompaniesJPMorgan expands critical infrastructure group to increase focus on AI risksMore than 40 firms approached on initiativeAI threats spur new cross-industry collaborationNEW YORK, Aug 5 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), opens new tab CEO Jamie Dimon is urging corporate leaders to join a U.S.-focused industry group to address risks posed by ​AI, as corporate America rapidly adopts the developing technology, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Dimon has personally reached out ‌to CEOs of other large and major regional banks and IT companies to enlist them in the initiative, which he is expanding from a group that JPM helped found called the Alliance for Critical Infrastructure, the sources said.

The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.

The ACI and Dimon have also communicated with other prospective members in an effort to schedule calls in August ​to discuss collaboration, the sources said.

The outreach, which started in July, includes over 40 companies spanning financial services, energy, water, utilities, ​telecommunications, airlines, railroads and other critical infrastructure industries that rely heavily on technology, the sources said. The ACI has ⁠not disclosed results of the effort so far.

Dimon's views on the economy, regulation and technology are closely followed. As head of the largest ​U.S. bank, he has been among a small group of CEOs publicly warning about the risks posed by advanced AI systems.

AI RISKS AND SAFEGUARDSThe initiative ​aims to develop a shared understanding of how AI is being used, the risks it poses and the safeguards needed, and to work with the Trump administration on those issues, the sources said. Recent cyberattacks on water systems in Minnesota and other states have increased the need for more information sharing across industries, the sources said.

JPMorgan ​was a founding member of the ACI, opens new tab alongside Mastercard, Berkshire Hathaway Energy and others. The organization was created to coordinate cross-sector resilience planning, share information, ​and respond to critical infrastructure threats, including cyber, physical, and geopolitical risk. The group has a team that is also involved in refocusing the ACI and building ‌up the ⁠AI effort.

Dimon said in a statement that the ACI leadership had seen the need to prioritize AI "years ago and got critical infrastructure companies working together."

"We are proud to support this important work," Dimon said.

The ACI said in a statement that "at a time of growing cyber threats, protecting the systems Americans rely on every day requires strong collaboration between government and critical infrastructure companies."

Mastercard and Berkshire did not respond to requests for comment.

The ACI ​would serve as an industry response ​and information-sharing forum, with an intent ⁠to work with government officials to identify core AI and technology risks, share information and help solve problems as they emerge, the sources said.

The group aims to have the revamped ACI fully functional by year-end, one ​of the sources said.

INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT EFFORTSAI concerns have grown rapidly as businesses race to deploy the technology, ​with regulators and industry ⁠leaders warning that AI could also increase cyberattacks and create new vulnerabilities across critical infrastructure and financial systems.

Dimon has warned about the risks posed by Anthropic's Mythos AI model, underscoring that access to advanced AI capabilities must be controlled. He said in July that "you're giving ballistic missiles to individuals with Mythos." The ⁠ACI effort ​is separate from an industry effort by banks to test Mythos.

The U.S. government has stepped up ​coordination with industry to manage risks from increasingly powerful AI systems. In July, it launched the Gold Eagle initiative, bringing together AI developers, critical infrastructure operators and federal agencies to ​share information on vulnerabilities discovered by advanced AI models and coordinate fixes.

LAURION rozšířil mineralizaci v A-Zone a potvrdil cíl Garvey Zone
TGT Target
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
  Highlights. Results confirm mineralisation continues to grow at Ishkōday: down-plunge at the A-Zone in LBX26-104, along strike to the northeast at the newly validated Garvey Zone target in LBX26-103 and extending southwest along the McLeod Horizon in LBX26-105. Drilling results for LBX26-104 confirm gold-zinc-silver-copper mineralisation down-plunge of the A-Zone with 11.15m grading 0.393 g/t Au, 6.06 g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu and 1.80% Zn; and gold mineralisation in hole LBX26-105, with 2.00m grading 1.342 g/t Au, including 1.00m grading 2.530 g/t Au alongside a broad polymetallic interval of 14.90m grading 0.125 g/t Au, 4.89 g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu and 0.67% Zn; and confirms the Garvey Zone geophysical target concept in hole LBX26-103.

TORONTO, Ontario — August 5, 2026 – TheNewswire — LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: LME | OTC: LMEFF | FSE: 5YD) ("LAURION" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from the first three diamond drill holes, LBX26-103, LBX26-104, and LBX26-105, completed as part of the Company's ongoing Phase 1 drilling program at its 100%-owned Ishkōday Gold and Polymetallic Project ("Ishkōday" or the "Project"), located in the Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt of Northwestern Ontario. The results support management’s view that the A-Zone may have potential to support a future mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) at the A-Zone, extending known mineralisation deeper underground and confirming a new target area along strike.

Management Comment

“In our view, these three holes are an encouraging start to our 2026 infill program, continuing to confirm and extend mineralisation we already know is here," said Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of LAURION. LBX26-104 and LBX26-105 have extended the polymetallic footprint of the A-Zone well down-plunge of historical drilling, and the zinc and silver grades we are seeing there – including over six (6) metres of better than 6% zinc – open up new depth potential for the Project. These results move us closer to our goal of unlocking the A-Zone's first resource. LBX26-103 has validated our geophysical targeting at the Garvey Zone, confirming that the same IP and resistivity signature that defines the A-Zone extends along strike to the northeast. We look forward to continuing to build on these results as the infill program progresses.”

LBX26-104 also returned 7.70m grading 0.207 g/t Au, 3.19 g/t Ag, 0.07% Cu and 1.42% Zn from 283.30m to 291.00m, including 0.50m grading 1.780 g/t Au, 4.80 g/t Ag, 0.10% Cu and 2.02% Zn, and a narrow high-grade interval of 0.50m grading 6.460 g/t Au, 19.00 g/t Ag, 0.89% Cu and 2.32% Zn at 313.00m to 313.50m. 

Near-surface polymetallic mineralisation was also intersected in LBX26-104 from 7.50m to 9.90m (2.40m grading 0.417 g/t Au, 4.28 g/t Ag, 0.09% Cu and 1.02% Zn, including 0.90m grading 0.693 g/t Au, 6.70 g/t Ag). 

LBX26-104 was collared approximately 166m northwest of historical drill hole 90-47 and approximately 191m northwest of historical drill hole 90-39, extending the tested down-plunge footprint of the A-Zone corridor beyond historical drilling. 

LBX26-103 (Garvey Zone IP target):

Confirmed the presence of hydrothermal quartz-breccia hosted polymetallic mineralisation coincident with the Garvey Zone chargeability/resistivity anomaly, including 3.75m grading 0.164 g/t Au and 14.41 g/t Ag from 195.20m to 198.95m, and 2.30m grading 0.111 g/t Au and 2.70% Zn from 221.10m to 223.40m, including 1.30m grading 0.137 g/t Au, 7.22 g/t Ag and 3.16% Zn. 

Results from LBX26-103 indicate that gold grades within the breccia-hosted polymetallic mineralisation remain low relative to the orogenic quartz-vein style mineralisation that hosts the majority of higher-grade gold at Ishkōday, reinforcing the Company's structural model that these represent distinct mineralising events.  By contrast, the gold intercept in LBX26-105 is consistent with the orogenic, quartz-vein-hosted style, while the broader zinc-silver-copper interval in the same hole reflects the polymetallic system, indicating both mineralising systems are present, and separately identifiable, well beyond the A-Zone itself.

    Table 1: LBX26-103 (Garvey Zone IP Target, NE-Extension of the A-Zone)

Hole LBX26-103 was designed to test the recently defined Garvey Zone chargeability anomaly (Clearview Geophysics survey line T2; Abitibi Geophysics anomaly I-3 NE), coincident with the projected northeast-extension of the A-Zone mineralised horizon. The hole targeted the center of the chargeability anomaly while simultaneously testing a well-defined magnetic lineament, a geophysical signature the Company interprets as consistent with a sulphide-rich shear zone.

Table 2: LBX26-104 (A-Zone Down-Plunge Test)

Hole LBX26-104 was designed to test the down-plunge extension of the A-Zone and was collared approximately 166m to the northwest of historical drill hole 90-47 and approximately 191m to the northwest of historical drill hole 90-39 .

Historical holes 90-47 and 90-39, drilled in 1990 to 262.7m and 209.1m respectively (Ontario Geological Survey Assessment File 42E13SE0098), returned no significant results for comparatively shallow depths.  LAURION believes the historic holes did not adequately test the down-plunge extension which is supported by these results from LBX26-104.

  Turnaround Time for Assay Results

Due to continued high sample volumes across the assay laboratory industry, the Company is currently experiencing up to a 12-week turnaround time between sample submission and receipt of final assay results. LAURION continues to work closely with its laboratory partners to manage this timeline and will provide further updates on drilling and assay results as they become available.

  LAURION Unveils SRK’s Clear Roadmap to Maiden Resource at the A-Zone, Ishkōday Project

SRK Consulting has completed an independent technical gap analysis review, identifying five specific mapped zones where near-term drilling is expected to prepare LAURION’s A-Zone for its maiden MRE. The A-Zone hosts not one, but two, distinct styles of mineralisation – a zinc-copper-iron-rich polymetallic system layered with a gold-silver system – sitting on top of a drilling database of over 300 holes and nearly 57,000 metres already in hand.

Within the main A-Zone shoot, targeted drilling is focused on areas where additional data may support future evaluation of the continuity and extent of known mineralisation.  A second targeted zone requires the twinning of historic holes with new quality-controlled drilling to confirm and potentially extend decades-old partially sampled mineral intercepts. Two more zones are designed to establish the true shape and continuity of the deposit's mineralised shoots, while a fifth zone targets the down-plunge extension of the A-Zone. Collectively, these target areas provide a focused framework and drilling plan for advancing geological knowledge of the A-Zone and evaluating its potential to support a future MRE.

With drilling already underway and directly targeting these findings, LAURION is executing a clear path toward its maiden resource.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

All drill core is transported and stored inside the core facility located at the Ishkōday Project in Greenstone, Ontario. LAURION employs an industry standard system of external standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol employed by the laboratory. After logging, core samples were identified and then cut in half along core axis in the same building and then zip tied individually in plastic sample bags with a bar code. Approximately five or six of these individual bags were then stacked into a “rice” material bag for final shipment to the laboratory.

  All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which were then prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay and analyzed by ALS Global Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples are processed by 4-acid digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma – Atomic Emission Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish.

  A total of 5% blanks and 5% standard are inserted randomly within all samples. 5% of the best assay result pulps were sent for re-assays. All QA/QC were verified, and no contamination or bias have been observed. The remaining half of the core, as well as the unsampled core, is stored in temporary core racks at the core logging facility in Beardmore and moved to the core storage facility at the Ishkōday Project.

  Note: QA/QC review of standards and duplicates indicates analytical results are reliable. One zinc standard adjacent to a high-grade zinc interval returned elevated values consistent with expected analytical behaviour following high-grade samples.

SpaceX's earnings may have sent its shares sharply lower as investors fretted over the rise in AI spending, but CEO Elon Musk delivered a bullish message for one of the semiconductor industry's most volatile segments: memory chips.

Speaking during the company's earnings call, Musk argued that demand for memory chips is rising at a pace far exceeding global production, suggesting prices could remain elevated for years despite aggressive capacity expansion by manufacturers.

His comments reinforce the long-term investment case for companies such as Micron Technology, SK Hynix, and Samsung Electronics, all of which are racing to meet surging demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure.

The remarks also come as investors debate whether the current AI spending boom can sustain strong pricing for memory products, particularly high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which is essential for training and running advanced AI models.

Musk says memory remains the industry's biggest bottleneckMusk made the comments while responding to a question from JP Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth, who asked about supply-demand dynamics and whether SpaceX would be able to maintain its premium pricing.

"Look at the rate at which logic and memory is being produced. One must always consider the limiting factor here. The limiting factor currently is memory," Musk said.

"The memory output is increasing by around 20% per year. Now, normally, that would be fantastically fast and amazing for any large mature industry."

He contrasted that with the pace of demand growth.

"Ask yourself, is the demand increasing by 20% a year? No, the demand is increasing by 200% a year, maybe higher. If you have got demand increasing much faster than supply, Economics 101 would suggest that the price increases. It does not decrease."

The comments come as AI companies continue pouring billions of dollars into data centers equipped with graphics processors and advanced memory chips, creating sustained demand across the semiconductor supply chain.

Memory stocks remain volatile despite improving outlookMusk's statement comes at a time when memory stocks have experienced significant volatility in recent weeks.

Micron shares were down around 2% in premarket trading on Wednesday after gaining ground over the previous two sessions, while SK Hynix slipped roughly 3%.

Investor concerns have centred on whether hyperscale cloud providers could eventually slow their AI spending and whether Chinese memory producer CXMT could emerge as a stronger competitor.

Sentiment, however, has improved this week following stronger-than-expected earnings from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, whose cloud businesses continued to report accelerating AI demand.

Broader market optimism surrounding easing tensions in the Middle East has also supported semiconductor stocks.

Industry forecasts continue to suggest that memory supply will struggle to keep pace with demand despite record investment.

According to Deloitte, the world's three largest memory manufacturers- Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix- are expected to increase their combined capital expenditure by nearly 340% between 2024 and 2027 to expand production.

Memory-related investment could account for roughly half of total semiconductor industry capital expenditure by 2026.

Even so, Deloitte noted that additional capacity will take years to come online because new fabrication plants typically require three to five years to build and ramp up production.

The consulting firm expects hyperscale cloud providers to allocate around 30% of their 2026 data-centre investments to memory, with that share projected to rise to 36% in 2027.

Memory components also account for roughly one-quarter of the bill of materials for high-end AI server racks.

As a result, Deloitte forecasts global memory sales could exceed $1 trillion in 2027, compared with approximately $230 billion in 2025.

"The current memory supply tightness and elevated prices may persist until 2029 or even 2030, assuming continued demand among hyperscalers for memory chips. Other customers that need memory for devices such as PCs, smartphones, and other consumer electronics, as well as for non-AI data centres, will likely also need to contend with high memory prices," Deloitte said.

Musk's comments closely align with a bullish note issued by Bank of America this week, in which the brokerage reiterated its Buy rating on Micron and maintained a price target of $1,550, implying roughly 72% upside from Tuesday's closing price.

Analyst Vivek Arya acknowledged that memory pricing and margins would eventually normalise as new capacity enters the market between mid-2027 and 2028.

However, he argued that investors have become overly focused on a future downturn despite continued improvement in current industry fundamentals.

"Hyperscaler spending continues to rise despite higher component costs, suggesting semis/memory pricing power," Arya wrote.

Bank of America also noted that GPU rental rates remain close to record highs and that none of the major cloud providers has indicated memory shortages are constraining AI deployments.

The brokerage further dismissed concerns over Chinese manufacturer CXMT, arguing the company remains focused on commodity DRAM and does not currently pose a significant competitive threat in high-bandwidth memory used for AI workloads.

CVS Health nabízí GLP-1 léčbu za 29 USD
CVS CVS Health
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
CVS Pharmacy offers all FDA approved GLP-1s, whether through insurance or cash-pay options. New collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company will provide eligible Zepbound and Foundayo patients an additional access point at CVS Pharmacy through the CVS Health app MinuteClinic digital weight loss visits lowered to $29, the most affordable option in the market, available 24/7 Combines an online visit with a licensed clinician, same-day medication pickup at 9,000 local CVS Pharmacy locations, and in-person pharmacist support in one connected experience, with no membership or recurring monthly fee Connected businesses position CVS Health to address opportunities and deliver novel solutions in this rapidly growing category, regardless of how the prescription is reimbursed or how the consumer gets their medicine , /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) today announced a revamp of its weight management program, making it easier for eligible adults to access clinical care, navigate medication costs and get ongoing support for GLP-1 therapy.

Through CVS Health's connected care model, broader direct to consumer access to prescription drugs is easier to deliver. For GLP-1s, it's simple for eligible patients to use our scheduler technology to connect with licensed clinicians 24 hours a day through MinuteClinic®, access GLP-1 medications through CVS Pharmacy®, receive personalized pharmacist support, and use digital tools to identify available savings options. No separate memberships, no mail-order-only access, and no fragmented handoffs.

As part of this broader effort, CVS Health and Lilly are collaborating to help eligible Zepbound and Foundayo patients more easily access transparent pricing, inclusive of reimbursed and self-pay options, through the CVS Health app.

We're making it easier for patients to navigate and find the most affordable option available to them. By early fourth quarter of 2026, eligible Zepbound and Foundayo patients will be able to view transparent pricing, including cash-pay options, in the CVS Health app for as early as same-day pickup in one of our 9,000 locations. This is in addition to already having oral and injectable formulations of Wegovy available, making CVS Pharmacy a convenient, affordable destination for all FDA approved GLP-1s. CVS Health offers a comprehensive approach to GLP-1 support at CVS Pharmacy locations and MinuteClinic, available virtually in nearly all states.

New offerings include expanded pharmacy support designed to help patients access these treatments and stay on them, and a new $29 MinuteClinic online visit, with no membership or recurring monthly fee, that connects eligible patients with licensed clinicians who can evaluate and, where clinically appropriate, prescribe GLP-1 therapy. "Weight management is a deeply personal health journey, and too many people face barriers before they start treatment," said Sid Tenneti, Senior Vice President and Interim President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness. "CVS Health combines clinical care, pharmacy access, digital tools and trusted pharmacist support to make that journey simpler, more affordable, and more connected. Our collaboration with Lilly is one more way we're expanding direct to consumer access to help eligible patients find options that work best for them."

CVS Pharmacy offers a broad range of GLP-1 prescription medications, including both injectable and oral options from multiple manufacturers, along with new digital resources available on CVS.com.

Helping patients access lower-cost GLP-1 medications

Depending on how or whether a GLP-1 medication is covered, patients can face barriers such as prior authorization requirements, varying insurance coverage and confusion over the many ways to pay for prescriptions -- including insurance, cash-pay options, online portals, manufacturer coupons, vouchers and third-party discount cards.

CVS Pharmacy accepts a wide range of third-party prescription discount cards, manufacturer coupons and manufacturer vouchers to help reduce out-of-pocket costs. At CVS Pharmacy, the out-of-pocket cost for a GLP-1 medication can be as low as $25 a month through commercial insurance with a manufacturer coupon for eligible patients, or $149 for those without insurance who utilize a manufacturer voucher for qualifying medications and doses.

CVS Pharmacy also participates in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program. The program runs through December 31, 2027, and eligible Medicare beneficiaries can access certain GLP-1 medications for $50 per month, offering more predictable and affordable pricing for patients who qualify.

Expanding access to clinical weight loss support

At $29 per visit with no recurring membership or monthly fee, MinuteClinic's care model is built to make a first step toward weight management straightforward and affordable. Patients begin with an online visit with a licensed clinician, who reviews their health history and weight-management goals before determining whether a GLP-1 therapy is the right fit. Those who start treatment can schedule follow-up visits as needed for dose adjustments, side-effect support and ongoing monitoring.

The program is available nationally in accordance with state-level regulations and is designed for self-paying adults ages 18 to 64 who are overweight or living with obesity and intend to pay out of pocket for clinical weight loss services. Patients seeking weight loss or metabolic health clinical support can visit MinuteClinic.com.

Putting pharmacists at the center of care

According to the CVS Health 2025 Rx Report, nearly half of consumers prioritize personalized care at the pharmacy and 80 percent of patients prefer face-to-face engagements over digital, highlighting the importance of providing options to consumers. As more patients turn to GLP-1 medications, a CVS pharmacist is available in person at 9,000 locations to help them start and stay on therapy, at no additional cost.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately 9,000 retail pharmacy locations, more than 1,000 walk-in and primary care medical clinics and a leading pharmacy benefits manager with approximately 87 million plan members.

Total revenues increased 11.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year primarily driven by pharmacy drug mix and brand inflation, partially offset by continued pharmacy client price improvements. Adjusted operating income increased 10.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year primarily driven by improved purchasing economics, pharmacy drug mix and modest improvement in the Company's health care delivery business. These increases were partially offset by continued pharmacy client price improvements. Pharmacy claims processed remained consistent on a 30-day equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year. Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segment

The Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segment dispenses prescriptions in its retail pharmacies and through its infusion operations, provides ancillary pharmacy services including pharmacy patient care programs and vaccination administration, and sells a wide assortment of health and wellness products and general merchandise.

Total revenues increased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year primarily driven by pharmacy drug mix, increased prescription volume, including contributions from the Company's Rite Aid asset acquisitions which were completed during the third quarter of 2025, and brand inflation. These increases were largely offset by regulatory-related price reductions on certain drugs, the impact of recent generic drug introductions and pharmacy reimbursement pressure. Adjusted operating income increased 10.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year primarily driven by core pharmacy strength and contributions from the Company's Rite Aid asset acquisitions. These increases were partially offset by continued business investments and the impact of consumer dynamics. Prescriptions filled increased 4.3% on a 30-day equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year primarily driven by incremental volume resulting from the Company's Rite Aid prescription file acquisitions and increased utilization, partially offset by the absence of long-term care pharmacy prescription volume following the deconsolidation of Omnicare, LLC in September 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze underlying business performance and trends. The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the Company's and investors' ability to compare the Company's past financial performance with its current and expected future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release and which may be referred to on the conference call discussing the Company's second quarter financial results, are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this press release and discussed on the conference call that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company's definitions of its non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Non-GAAP financial measures such as consolidated adjusted operating income, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") and adjusted income attributable to CVS Health exclude from the relevant GAAP metrics, as applicable: amortization of intangible assets, net realized capital gains or losses and other items, if any, that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance.

For the periods covered in this press release, the following items are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures described above, as applicable, because the Company believes they neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance:

The Company's acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets as required under the acquisition method of accounting which consist primarily of trademarks, customer contracts/relationships, covenants not to compete, technology, provider networks and value of business acquired. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in operating expenses within each segment. Although intangible assets contribute to the Company's revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the underwriting of the Company's insurance products, the services performed for the Company's customers or the sale of the Company's products or services. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of the Company's acquisition activity. Accordingly, the Company believes excluding the amortization of intangible assets enhances the Company's and investors' ability to compare the Company's past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within the Company's GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. The Company's net realized capital gains and losses arise from various types of transactions, primarily in the course of managing a portfolio of assets that support the payment of insurance liabilities. Net realized capital gains and losses are reflected in net investment income (loss) within each segment. These capital gains and losses are the result of investment decisions, market conditions and other economic developments that are unrelated to the performance of the Company's business, and the amount and timing of these capital gains and losses do not directly relate to the underwriting of the Company's insurance products, the services performed for the Company's customers or the sale of the Company's products or services. Accordingly, the Company believes excluding net realized capital gains and losses enhances the Company's and investors' ability to compare the Company's past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the acquisition-related integration costs relate to the acquisitions of Signify Health, Inc. and Oak Street Health, Inc. The acquisition-related integration costs are reflected in operating expenses within the Corporate/Other segment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded legacy litigation charges related to two court decisions associated with its past business practices. The legacy litigation charges were reflected in operating expenses within the Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness and Health Services segments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the loss on the wind down and sale of Accountable Care assets represents the pre-tax loss on the divestiture of the Company's Medicare Shared Savings Program ("MSSP") operations, as well as costs incurred in connection with the wind down of the Company's ACO REACH operations. The loss on Accountable Care assets was reflected in operating expenses within the Health Services segment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the office real estate optimization charges primarily relate to the abandonment of leased real estate and the related right-of-use assets and property and equipment in connection with the Company's evaluation of corporate office real estate space. The office real estate optimization charges were reflected in operating expenses within each segment. The corresponding tax benefit or expense related to the items excluded from adjusted income attributable to CVS Health and Adjusted EPS above. The nature of each non-GAAP adjustment is evaluated to determine whether a discrete adjustment should be made to the adjusted income tax provision. See endnotes (1) and (2) on page 20 for definitions of non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented on pages 12 through 14 and page 19.

Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and our most
recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information" earlier in this press release

(1)  The Company defines adjusted operating income as operating income (GAAP measure) excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets, net realized capital gains or losses and other items, if any, that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance, such as acquisition-related integration costs, certain legacy litigation charges, losses on Accountable Care assets and office real estate optimization charges. The chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") uses adjusted operating income as its principal measure of segment performance as it enhances the CODM's ability to compare past financial performance with current performance and analyze underlying business performance and trends. The consolidated measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, consolidated operating income. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information" earlier in this press release for additional information regarding the items excluded from consolidated operating income in determining consolidated adjusted operating income.

(2)  GAAP diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EPS, respectively, are calculated by dividing net income attributable to CVS Health and adjusted income attributable to CVS Health by the Company's weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The Company defines adjusted income attributable to CVS Health as net income attributable to CVS Health (GAAP measure) excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets, net realized capital gains or losses and other items, if any, that neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance, such as acquisition-related integration costs, certain legacy litigation charges, losses on Accountable Care assets, office real estate optimization charges, as well as the corresponding income tax benefit or expense related to the items excluded from adjusted income attributable to CVS Health. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information" earlier in this press release for additional information regarding the items excluded from net income attributable to CVS Health in determining adjusted income attributable to CVS Health.

(3)  Medical benefit ratio is calculated by dividing the Health Care Benefits segment's health care costs by premium revenues and represents the percentage of premium revenues spent on medical benefits for the segment's insured members. Management uses MBR to assess the underlying business performance and underwriting of its insurance products, understand variances between actual results and expected results and identify trends in period-over-period results. MBR provides management and investors with information useful in assessing the operating results of the Health Care Benefits segment's insured products.

(4)  Medical membership represents the number of members covered by the Health Care Benefits segment's insured and ASC medical products and related services at a specified point in time. Management uses this metric to understand variances between actual medical membership and expected amounts as well as trends in period-over-period results. This metric provides management and investors with information useful in understanding the impact of medical membership on the Health Care Benefits segment's total revenues and operating results.

(5)  Pharmacy claims processed represents the number of prescription claims processed through the Company's pharmacy benefits manager and dispensed by either its retail network pharmacies or the Company's mail and specialty pharmacies. Prescriptions filled represents the number of prescriptions dispensed through the Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segment's retail pharmacies and infusion services operations, as well as through the Omnicare long-term care pharmacies prior to their deconsolidation in September 2025. Management uses these metrics to understand variances between actual claims processed and prescriptions dispensed, respectively, and expected amounts as well as trends in period-over-period results. These metrics provide management and investors with information useful in understanding the impact of pharmacy claim volume and prescription volume, respectively, on segment total revenues and operating results.

(6)  Includes an adjustment to convert 90-day prescriptions to the equivalent of three 30-day prescriptions. This adjustment reflects the fact that these prescriptions include approximately three times the amount of product days supplied compared to a normal prescription. 

(7)  Days claims payable is calculated by dividing the Health Care Benefits segment's health care costs payable at the end of each quarter by its average health care costs per day during such quarter. Management and investors use this metric as one of the indicators of the adequacy of the health care costs payable liability at the end of each quarter.

(8)  Gross profit is calculated as the segment's total revenues less its cost of products sold, and, for the Health Services segment, health care costs. Gross margin is calculated by dividing the segment's gross profit by its total revenues and represents the percentage of total revenues that remains after incurring direct costs associated with the segment's products sold and services provided. Gross margin provides investors with information that may be useful in assessing the operating results of the Company's Health Services and Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segments.

(9)  Same store sales and prescription volume represent the change in revenues and prescriptions filled in the Company's retail pharmacy stores that have been operating for greater than one year and digital sales initiated online or through mobile applications and fulfilled through the Company's distribution centers, expressed as a percentage that indicates the increase or decrease relative to the comparable prior period. Same store metrics exclude revenues and prescriptions from infusion services operations and long-term care pharmacies. Management uses these metrics to evaluate the performance of existing stores on a comparable basis and to inform future decisions regarding existing stores and new locations. Same-store metrics provide management and investors with information useful in understanding the portion of current revenues and prescriptions resulting from organic growth in existing locations versus the portion resulting from opening new stores.

Key Mohawk Industries News Here are the key news stories impacting Mohawk Industries this week:

The revision reflects confidence in Mohawk’s earnings recovery and improving operating performance. Benzinga analyst note Positive Sentiment: Mohawk’s second-quarter results exceeded expectations, with adjusted EPS of $3.67 versus the $2.58 consensus estimate and revenue of $2.99 billion versus $2.79 billion expected. Pricing, productivity and product execution helped offset weak residential flooring markets.

Novo Nordisk zvýšil celoroční výhled, pilulka Wegovy pouze vyrovnala konsensus
NOVOB Novo Nordisk
FIO Stock News 92
Original source text
5.8.2026 11:53, NVO

Dánská farmaceutická společnost Novo Nordisk zveřejnila výsledky hospodaření za druhý kvartál roku 2026. Očištěné tržby i očištěný provozní zisk skončily nad odhady trhu a firma zúžila a zvýšila svůj celoroční výhled, přičemž nyní počítá s poklesem očištěných tržeb i očištěného provozního zisku o 0 až 6 % při konstantních měnových kurzech, zatímco dosud čekala pokles o 4 až 12 %. Investoři se ale soustředili na pilulku Wegovy, jejíž tržby ve výši 3,22 mld. DKK se s konsensem pouze vyrovnaly, a na slabší hrubou marži.

Výsledky společnosti Novo Nordisk (NVO) za 2Q 2026   2Q 2026 Konsensus 2Q 2026 2Q 2025 Očištěnné tržby (mld. DKK*) 78,49 71,62 76,86 Čistý zisk (mld. DKK*) 20,99 -- 26,50 Očištěný zisk na akcii (EPS, DKK*/akcie) 6,18 -- 5,89 *1 DKK (Dánská koruna) = 0,15 USD

Výsledky za 2Q 2026 Tržby vzrostly meziročně o 2 % (o 3 % při konstantních kurzech) na 78,49 mld. DKK. Na očištěné bázi vzrostly o 6 % resp. 7 %. Růst táhly objemy prodejů léků třídy GLP-1 v obou divizích, částečně kompenzované nižšími realizovanými cenami.

Za lék Ozempic (léčba diabetu 2. typu) společnost utržila 31,38 mld. DKK, meziročně o 5 % více při konstantních kurzech. Tabletová alternativa Rybelsus / Ozempic pill vygenerovala 5,23 mld. DKK (-4 %). Injekční Wegovy (léčba obezity) přineslo 19,48 mld. DKK, tedy mírný meziroční růst o 1 %, přičemž v USA tržby klesly o 22 % kvůli nižším realizovaným cenám, zatímco mimo USA vzrostly o 46 %.

Tržby nové pilulky Wegovy, uvedené v USA letos 5. ledna. dosáhly 3,22 mld. DKK v souladu s očekáváním, z toho 3,14 mld. DKK připadlo na USA a 77 mil. DKK na první dodávky velkoobchodníkům mimo USA.

Tržby Novo Nordisk podle segmentu ve 2Q 2026 (v mld. DKK) Segment Tržby Meziroční změna (CER) Léčba diabetu 50,43 +3 %              Insulin 12,94 +6 %              GLP-1 36,78 +2 % Léčba obezity 23,15 +16 % Léčba vzácných nemocí 4,91 +6 % Očištěná hrubá marže meziročně klesla o 4,5 p. b. na 78,2 % při konsensu 80,9 %. Za poklesem stojí nižší realizované ceny, jednorázové náklady zhruba 3 mld. DKK spojené s optimalizací smluv o výrobních kapacitách a negativní měnový vliv.

Očištěná provozní marže se naopak meziročně zlepšila o 1,0 p. b. na 42,5 %. Očištěný provozní zisk vzrostl meziročně o 8 % (o 11 % při konstantních kurzech) na 33,39 mld. DKK.

Náklady na prodej a distribuci činily 15,00 mld. DKK, meziročně o 14 % méně (konsensus 15,47 mld. DKK).

Na výzkum a vývoj společnost vynaložila vykázaných 17,79 mld. DKK, tato částka ale zahrnuje odpisy 6,33 mld. DKK. Trh očekával 12,06 mld. DKK.

Volný hotovostní tok (FCF) dosáhl ve 2Q 42,52 mld. DKK, meziročně o 57 % více.

Výhled Společnost navýšila celoroční výhled a pro rok 2026 nově očekává:

Meziroční vývoj očištěných tržeb při konstantních směnných kurzech v pásmu 0 až -6 %. Dosud čekal -4 až -12 %, konsensus trhu činil -5,9 %. Meziroční vývoj očištěného provozního zisku při konstantních směnných kurzech v pásmu 0 až -6 %. Dosud čekal -4 až -12 %, konsensus činil -9,09 %. Volný hotovostní tok (FCF) 45 až 55 mld. DKK (dosud 36 až 46 mld. DKK). Zlepšení výhledu podle firmy stojí na vyšších očekávaných tržbách z portfolia GLP-1.

Návrat kapitálu akcionářům Představenstvo schválilo mezitímní dividendu za rok 2026 ve výši 3,75 DKK na akcii. V prvním pololetí společnost vrátila akcionářům 41,2 mld. DKK, z toho 35,3 mld. DKK na dividendách a 5,9 mld. DKK prostřednictvím zpětných odkupů. Z probíhajícího programu odkupů v objemu až 15 mld. DKK bylo ke 3. srpnu realizováno 7,53 mld. DKK.

Komentář CEO „Produktové portfolio Wegovy zůstává v roce 2026 klíčovým tahounem růstu Novo Nordisku, v čele s pokračujícím rychlým rozšířením pilulky Wegovy v USA, která od uvedení na trh překonala hranici 5 milionů předepsaných receptů, spolu s povzbudivým počátečním náběhem na trzích mimo USA a zaváděním Wegovy HD (7,2 mg). Silnější dynamika GLP-1 v USA v kombinaci s pokračujícím růstem a novými uvedeními v mezinárodních operacích nás vedla k dalšímu zvýšení výhledu na rok 2026 pro očištěné tržby i očištěný provozní zisk," uvedl generální ředitel Mike Doustdar.

Pohled analytiků Analytik Graham Parry z Citi označil výsledky za rozkolísané. Účetní zisk na akcii podle IFRS skončil 6 % pod konsensem především kvůli odpisům ve výzkumu a vývoji a výkon klíčové pilulky Wegovy byl slabší, než se čekalo.

Analytik Thibault Boutherin z Morgan Stanley vyčíslil zaostání pilulky Wegovy na 49 mil. DKK, tedy 1,5 %, což odpovídá menšímu odbourávání zásob v USA. Investory podle něj nadále znepokojuje cenotvorba v USA a inovace.

Analytik Michael Leuchten z Jefferies uvedl, že překonání očekávání u očištěných čistých tržeb táhlo především výrazné překonání u Ozempicu, kterému sám pomohl jednorázový efekt gross-to-net. Dodává, že slabší hrubá marže (zasažená jednorázovým vlivem 3 mld. DKK spojeným s výrobou) a nižší podkladové provozní náklady (po očištění o zhruba 6 mld. DKK odpisů, převážně na monlunabantu) vedou k očištěnému provoznímu zisku 15 % nad očekáváním.

Bloom Energy těží z AI datových center
BE Bloom Energy
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
It's certainly no secret that artificial intelligence data centers are popping up everywhere, with plenty more left to build. In fact, real estate management firm JLL predicts that AI data centers will collectively need 200 gigawatts of electricity by 2030, up from just over 100 gigawatts today.

And it's fitting that this growth outlook is measured in power rather than footprint, since that's the bigger bottleneck now and for the foreseeable future. Utility companies just aren't ready to deliver the electricity that the artificial intelligence infrastructure industry increasingly needs.

Fortunately, there's a smart solution that's moving away from the fringes and into the mainstream. That's hydrogen fuel cell technology, like that offered by Bloom Energy (BE +4.48%).

Image source: The Motley Fool.

What's a fuel cell? Simply put, fuel cells turn hydrogen into electricity by passing it through an electrolyte membrane that separates negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons. No moving parts are needed, and the only output is heat and water. Although initially used for smaller equipment, larger-scale systems can now be used to power buildings, and yes, artificial intelligence data centers.

Bloom Energy's fuel cells are different, or more to the point, superior in most regards. Its solid oxide fuel cell technology works with hydrogen, but can also be powered by readily available natural gas, or even biogas.

And almost needless to say, power-hungry data centers are embracing the option. Last quarter's top line of just over $1.0 billion was up 165% from Q2 2025, driven by customers like Honda, AT&T, and Walmart.

It's still only scratched the surface of its opportunity, though, now that the AI data center industry recognizes this once-unlikely source of electricity is up to the task. Indeed, earlier this year, the company expanded its initial agreement to provide artificial intelligence powerhouse Oracle (ORCL +2.74%) with 1.2 gigawatts of power to a 2.8 gigawatt deal. For perspective, that's enough electricity to power between 2 million and nearly 3 million homes, or several data centers, depending on their computing capacity.

Right place, right time, right business Great. Of all the options beyond ordinary institutional utility service, why Bloom Energy's solid oxide fuel cells? For a handful of reasons.

Chief among these reasons is that it's available, and soon. Whereas it can take months if not years to connect a new data center to the grid, Bloom can install its hardware in a matter of weeks.

Image source: Getty Images.

It's also more marketable. In an environment where communities are understandably concerned that data centers are straining water and power supplies, fuel cells sidestep both problems. They don't require any water or outside electricity. They're also quiet, unlike the natural gas turbines or diesel generators powering some AI data centers these days.

Whatever the reason(s), Bloom Energy promises to feature prominently in the future of artificial intelligence data centers, and even beyond data centers. A long-term projection from Precedence Research predicts the worldwide hydrogen fuel cell market is poised to grow at an average annual pace of more than 20% through 2034, when it will be worth more than $27 billion per year.

That's still only part of Bloom's opportunity, though. The company also sells electrolyzers that create usable hydrogen, and even offers managed electricity production services.

Macerich potvrdil růst NOI nejméně o 3 %
MAC Macerich Company
FMP Stock News 88
Original source text
Macerich NYSE: MAC reported second-quarter funds from operations, as adjusted, of $0.35 per diluted share and said its go-forward portfolio net operating income increased 3.8% from a year earlier, as the mall operator continued to execute its “Path Forward” plan centered on leasing, portfolio simplification and debt reduction.

Get Macerich alerts:

President and Chief Executive Officer Jack Hsieh said the company is ahead of schedule on its strategic leasing program and is shifting more attention toward converting signed leases into operating stores. Macerich’s signed-not-open, or SNO, pipeline reached $124 million during the quarter, and the company said it has confidence in a total SNO opportunity of about $140 million.

“The plan is substantially de-risked,” Hsieh said, pointing to leasing progress, asset dispositions and balance-sheet initiatives. He said the company expects NOI growth to accelerate in 2027 and 2028 as tenants in the SNO pipeline open and begin paying rent.

Leasing, Occupancy and Tenant Openings Portfolio sales reached $919 per square foot at the end of the second quarter, a company high, while sales across the go-forward portfolio were $954 per square foot. Portfolio leased occupancy was 94%, up 60 basis points from the first quarter. Leased occupancy in the go-forward portfolio was 95.5%, also up 60 basis points sequentially and 270 basis points from a year earlier.

Doug Healey, senior executive vice president of leasing, said Macerich has commitments for about 93% of its 2026 expiring square footage to renew and remain open, with another 6% in the letter-of-intent stage. For 2027 expirations, the company is about 50% committed, with another 40% in letters of intent, he said.

The company opened nearly 350,000 square feet of new stores during the quarter, including a new and expanded 45,000-square-foot Zara store at Tysons Corner Center. Healey said the Zara location ranked first in U.S. sales and fifth globally during its opening weekend, and has remained first in its region and among the top 10 nationally.

Macerich signed 1.3 million square feet of new and renewal leases during the second quarter, including 645,000 square feet of new deals. Brands signing leases included Aerie, Old Navy, Eataly, Din Tai Fung, Zara, Sephora, Level99, Golf Galaxy, Alo Yoga, On Running, Vuori, Reformation and Cider, according to Healey.

The company’s five-year leasing plan calls for 1,000 new deals. Healey said 170 leases remain to achieve that target, with roughly two-thirds of the remaining leases in the letter-of-intent stage. Macerich’s leasing “speedometer,” which tracks new-deal completion under the plan, stood at 88%, above its 85% midyear target.

NOI Outlook and Transformation Efforts Chief Financial Officer Dan Swanstrom said go-forward portfolio NOI, excluding lease termination income, rose 2.5% for the first six months of 2026. The company reaffirmed its expectation for full-year go-forward NOI growth of at least 3%.

Based on the first-half results, Swanstrom said the guidance implies at least 3.5% NOI growth in the second half, potentially with a stronger fourth quarter as SNO contributions increase. Macerich expects SNO tenants to contribute about $30 million in 2026, with the contribution weighted toward the latter part of the year; $40 million to $45 million in 2027; and $45 million to $50 million in 2028.

The company’s Path Forward 3.0 plan targets a three-year NOI compound annual growth rate midpoint of 6.5% from 2026 through 2028. Swanstrom said that, assuming 3% growth in 2026, the plan implies NOI growth of more than 8% in both 2027 and 2028.

Hsieh said centers in later stages of Macerich’s transformation strategy have recorded stronger traffic, sales and NOI trends than the broader go-forward portfolio. He cited Fairfield Commons, Broadway Plaza, Scottsdale Fashion Square and Tysons Corner as examples, saying the four properties posted low-teens traffic gains and high-single-digit NOI growth year to date.

At Tysons Corner, Macerich is adding Eataly, Din Tai Fung and Cider to the historically weaker west wing. Hsieh said traffic at Tysons was up 10% through the first six months of the year as the company continued upgrading the tenant mix.

Acquisitions and Balance Sheet Macerich said it sees acquisitions as an increasingly important growth avenue and is evaluating a broad set of on- and off-market opportunities. Hsieh said the company’s pipeline is the largest it has had since beginning the Path Forward plan, with roughly half of the opportunities on market and half directly involving sellers.

The company said it remains focused on assets in strong trade areas where it can use its leasing and operating platform to create value, while financing transactions within its leverage targets. Hsieh said the company is underwriting potential acquisitions at stabilized yields in the 9% to 11% range.

Macerich highlighted progress at Annapolis Mall and Crabtree, two recent acquisitions. At Annapolis, Uniqlo has opened and Dick’s House of Sport is scheduled to open Aug. 14. At Crabtree, Macerich said it has commitments for 45 new and expansion leases and 35 renewal leases since the acquisition. Dick’s House of Sport is expected to open there in September.

In June, Macerich priced a common-stock offering at $23.90 per share through forward sale agreements. The company said it expects future net proceeds of about $372 million to fund acquisitions. Hsieh said the company expects to deploy the capital before the forward settlement deadline in June 2027.

Net debt to adjusted EBITDA stood at 7.3 times at the end of the second quarter, down nearly half a turn from the prior quarter and more than 1.5 turns from the start of the Path Forward plan. Swanstrom said the ratio falls below seven times when including unsettled forward equity proceeds. Macerich’s stated leverage target is in the range of six times, plus or minus.

The company has completed about $1.3 billion of dispositions, representing roughly two-thirds of its original target. It expects to sell or give back another $300 million to $400 million of assets, outparcels and land by year-end, which would bring total dispositions to approximately $1.7 billion. Macerich reported about $1.2 billion in liquidity, including $900 million of revolving-credit capacity, excluding the value of unsettled forward equity proceeds.

Enterprise Products zvýší dividendu o 2,8 %
EPD Enterprise Products Partners
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
For the bulk of the 21st century, buybacks have been corporate America's preferred way of returning capital to shareholders, but S&P 500 dividend growth has been solid, if not awe-inspiring. Savvy equity income investors know that some segments deliver the dividend goods more than others. Those groups include energy stocks.

Taking things a step further, pipeline stocks are known for offering tempting yields and, in many cases, dependable payout growth. Enterprise Products Partners (EPD +0.66%) checks those boxes. Although the third quarter isn't even half over, it's already brought a spate of midstream dividend hikes, with Enterprise Products being one of the guests at that party.

Enterprise Products is one of the dividend leaders in the midstream segment. Image source: Getty Images.

On July 7, the pipeline operator told investors that the dividend it's delivering Aug. 14 represents a 2.8% year-over-year increase. As of Aug. 3, the stock yields 5.8%. That's more than 5x the dividend yield on the S&P 500, and more than double the yield of the largest energy exchange-traded fund (ETF). Fortunately, that's not the end of the good news when it comes to the Enterprise Products dividend.

A dependable pipeline payout Not all oil stocks are cut of the same dividend cloth. In the energy patch, there are low yields, alarmingly high yields, and a lack of dividend clarity. Enterprise Products doesn't wear any of those dubious labels. Twenty-eight consecutive years of increased distributions confirm that this is a dependable equity income name.

Fundamentals indicate that the streak can be extended over the long haul. Income investors assessing Enterprise Products today can benefit from valuable insight provided by the company when it delivered second-quarter earnings on July 30. For those who don't want to get "in the weeds," the dividend is safe. For investors demanding more detail, here goes.

In the June quarter, this pipeline operator generated a record $2.3 billion in operational distributable cash flow (DCF), resulting in coverage of 1.9x the distributions paid during that period. Enterprise Products also retained $1.1 billion of that DCF.

Here are two more points that dividend investors will like. First, the midstream company repurchased $159 million worth of its stock during Q2. Fewer shares outstanding reduce a company's dividend obligations because dividends aren't paid on retired shares. Second, the 56% payout ratio isn't demanding given rising DCF and declining shares outstanding.

Long-term allure Pipeline stocks, including Enterprise Products, are often calmer than their integrated and exploration and production peers, implying it's advisable to approach midstream equities with long-term perspectives.

With Enterprise Products, investors should consider that approach because the true value of dividend growth is realized over longer holding periods. Additionally, the company is just beginning to realize benefits from new projects, including increased volumes in the pipeline and at marine terminals.

Those volume increases, combined with higher marketing volumes and margins, supported Q2 earnings and cash flow growth. Margin expansion was evident in Enterprise Products' natural gas liquids (NGLs) segment, where the company has industry-leading export infrastructure. That underpins Enterprise Products' status as a wide-moat midstream operator, potentially bolstering the stock's long-term bull case.

Jersey Mike's Serves Fresh Gains After IPO StumbleJacobs Solutions NYSE: J reported fiscal third-quarter 2026 results marked by organic revenue growth, margin expansion and a record backlog, prompting the company to raise its full-year outlook for the third consecutive quarter.

Chair and CEO Bob Pragada said adjusted earnings per share increased approximately 14% year over year to $1.84, supported by more than 8% adjusted net revenue growth and more than 100 basis points of margin expansion. The company recorded its sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit adjusted EPS growth, he said.

The S&P 493 Are Staging a Comeback—This Value ETF Offers Broad ExposureAdjusted EBITDA rose 17% to $367 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin reached 15.2%, up 109 basis points from a year earlier, according to CFO Venk Nathamuni. Gross revenue increased more than 34%, while adjusted net revenue, excluding pass-through revenue, grew more than 8%.

Record Backlog and Higher Full-Year Outlook Consolidated backlog rose more than 27% year over year to a record $29 billion. Jacobs reported trailing-12-month book-to-bill ratios of 1.4x on gross revenue and 1.2x on net revenue. Net revenue and gross profit in backlog increased 11% and 14%, respectively, from the prior year.

Large Caps Across Planes, Tech and Oil Announce Over $10 Billion in BuybacksPragada said the company sees “convergence of backlog growth and overall revenue growth” and expects another strong bookings performance in the fiscal fourth quarter. Nathamuni said the backlog position provides confidence that fiscal 2027 growth can at least align with the company’s previously stated long-term average, though he deferred specific fiscal 2027 guidance until the next earnings call.

For fiscal 2026, Jacobs raised its outlook for adjusted net revenue growth to 9.5% to 10%. The company narrowed its adjusted EBITDA margin forecast to 14.7% to 14.8% and increased its adjusted EPS outlook to $7.20 to $7.30. The midpoint of the EPS range implies nearly 19% year-over-year adjusted EPS growth, Nathamuni said.

For the fourth quarter, Jacobs expects approximately 14% year-over-year net revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA margin of about 16%, a tax rate near 27.5%, and approximately $150 million in free cash flow.

Advanced Manufacturing and AI Infrastructure Drive Growth Infrastructure & Advanced Facilities, or I&AF, generated nearly $2.1 billion in net revenue, a quarterly record for the segment. Segment operating profit increased 14% on 10% net revenue growth.

Within I&AF, life sciences and advanced manufacturing net revenue climbed 24% year over year, the company’s highest reported growth rate in that end market since it began disclosing end-market results in late 2024. Data center and semiconductor activity were major contributors, and Jacobs expects the trend to continue in the fourth quarter.

Direct AI infrastructure build-out represented 11% of adjusted net revenue as of the third quarter, up about 100 basis points from the previous quarter. Pragada said Jacobs has expanded its data center scope from technical advisory and design to digital twins and full program delivery, while also applying water, environmental, power and digital capabilities to support both private-sector clients and utilities.

Among its awards, Jacobs received a sole-source engineering, procurement and construction management contract from Hut 8 for the Beacon Point AI data center campus in Texas. The multiphase site is designed to support 1 gigawatt of total capacity, with initial energization targeted for 2027. Jacobs is also leading program delivery for Hut 8’s River Bend campus in Louisiana.

In the semiconductor market, Pragada said customers are pushing the company to accelerate designs. He said Jacobs is working for the largest high-bandwidth memory chip manufacturer in the U.S. and is seeing its pipeline grow, including through its longstanding relationship with Intel.

Water, Environmental and Infrastructure Trends Critical infrastructure net revenue increased 9% in the quarter, led by transportation and energy and power activity. Nathamuni said Jacobs continues to expect the end market to grow at a mid-to-high single-digit rate over the medium term.

Pragada said transportation growth was led by aviation, rail, ports and maritime, with highways and bridges also contributing during the third quarter. Energy and power posted double-digit growth, primarily from U.S. transmission and distribution activity, while international growth was supported by generation and renewable-energy work.

Water and environmental net revenue grew slightly more than 1%, as strength in water was partly offset by continuing year-over-year environmental headwinds. The company expects sequential improvement in the fourth quarter following recent awards activity.

Jacobs was selected to provide program management and technical environmental services for the U.S. Navy’s Environmental Restoration Program across the Mid-Atlantic and Puerto Rico. The work includes contaminated-site restoration, including PFAS and munitions-related projects. The company also won the Central Utah Water Conservancy District’s Strawberry High Line Improvement Project, part of the broader approximately $1.5 billion Nebo Regional Water Project.

Pragada said environmental awards during the quarter included two sizable, unnamed private-sector industrial contracts, along with public-sector opportunities involving PFAS and Department of Defense regulatory work. He said the environmental business posted book-to-bill above 1.3x for the quarter and is expected to return to its prior growth levels in fiscal 2027.

Cash Flow, Repurchases and PA Consulting Jacobs generated $541 million in adjusted free cash flow in the third quarter, excluding $110 million of payments related to proceeds from the PA transaction. Year-to-date adjusted free cash flow totaled $633 million.

The company repurchased $614 million of shares through the third quarter, bringing total repurchases since the beginning of fiscal 2025 to $1.4 billion. Including dividends, Jacobs said it is on track to return more than 100% of free cash flow to shareholders for the second consecutive year. Net leverage declined to 1.8x, reaching the company’s below-2.0x target one quarter early. Jacobs still plans to reduce net leverage to about 1.5x by the end of fiscal 2027.

PA Consulting operating profit increased 2% on roughly flat revenue, while its operating margin remained above 22%. Nathamuni said a recent change in U.K. government leadership temporarily delayed project starts, but the company has seen a return toward normal conditions and expects solid sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter.

Management said future margin expansion should be supported by operating leverage, greater use of global delivery and business mix. Pragada added that Jacobs expects margin improvement to be balanced between I&AF and PA Consulting as it advances cost synergies at PA.

Gulfport čeká silnější produkce a vyšší provozní efektivita
GPOR Gulfport Energy Operating Corp
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Gulfport Energy NYSE: GPOR outlined plans to emphasize operating efficiency, inventory expansion, disciplined capital allocation and downstream market access as President and CEO Nick Dell’Osso led his first earnings call in the role following the company’s second-quarter 2026 results.

Dell’Osso said Gulfport enters the second half with accelerating production following its first-half capital program, including liquids volumes expected to be more than 50% higher than first-half 2026 levels. He said the company’s asset base, balance sheet, cost structure and exposure to areas of growing natural-gas demand provide a foundation for long-term shareholder value creation.

Get Gulfport Energy alerts:

“Delivering better and more consistent results for shareholders will be our number one priority,” Dell’Osso said.

Inventory Expansion and Capital Allocation Gulfport said it has expanded its drilling inventory through leasing, delineation work and development of its Ohio Marcellus opportunities. Dell’Osso pointed to the company’s success in a state land auction and its announced $140 million 2026 budget for discretionary land purchases as key parts of that effort.

According to Dell’Osso, the state-land auction and planned discretionary leasing are expected to increase Gulfport’s net Appalachia location count by about 20%. He said the company has roughly 15 years of drilling inventory and cited an Enverus analysis showing Gulfport has one of the stronger weighted-average inventory breakevens among gas-focused companies.

The CEO said the company will remain selective on acreage purchases, prioritizing value rather than pursuing scale for its own sake. In response to analyst questions, Dell’Osso said Gulfport has a clear view of the opportunities included in its $140 million leasing budget and expects much of the multiyear leasing effort to come to fruition during 2026.

He added that leasing activity should continue beyond this year but likely will not reach the same scale in 2027. That could free up cash flow for other priorities, including share repurchases and debt reduction.

“We will define the terms of competition around creating the highest financial returns and advancing our strategic goals,” Dell’Osso said, listing operational improvements, inventory depth, lower breakevens, market access, financial strength and shareholder returns among those goals.

Dell’Osso said the company intends to maintain a conservative mid-cycle leverage ratio and use hedges to protect capital committed to its drilling program. He said Gulfport will remain active in its share-repurchase program during the second half of 2026, although he did not provide quarterly repurchase guidance.

Focus on More Consistent Execution A central theme of Dell’Osso’s comments was improving the consistency of Gulfport’s drilling and completion operations. He said some individual wells have performed at a level comparable with the industry’s best execution, but the company sees room to improve planning, data quality and processes across its operations.

Dell’Osso said he would like Gulfport to eventually operate a more consistent capital program rather than one that is heavily weighted toward the front part of the year. He said a steadier operating cadence could help lower well costs and improve execution, though he cautioned that the company may not fully achieve that objective in 2027.

“Consistent, continuous operations will drive our ability to lower our well costs and execute better wells every time that we turn the drill bit,” Dell’Osso said.

Matthew Rucker, Gulfport’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, discussed recent progress in the Marcellus. The company drilled four wells with average lateral lengths of 16,000 feet during the first quarter and completed the pad during the second quarter. Rucker said the completion work maintained drilling momentum, with more than 20 hours of pumping per day and stage placement meeting expectations.

The wells were brought online near the end of the quarter and have completed flowback. Rucker said Gulfport initially choked the wells back during ramp-up and cleanup, but the pad has since been turned up to its full initial-production potential. He said gas and liquids rates have been better than anticipated and that the wells have remained relatively flat.

On costs, Rucker said drilling and completion costs on a per-foot basis were about 25% lower than those of shorter Marcellus laterals drilled last year. He said the results have helped establish a development approach for lateral length and spacing across the remaining acreage.

Natural-Gas Demand and Market Access Dell’Osso said Gulfport sees potential benefits from growing in-basin natural-gas demand, including demand associated with AI data centers. He said the company already sells significant gas volumes in the basin and benefits from relatively attractive gathering, processing and transportation costs, as well as flexibility around sales destinations.

While Dell’Osso said Gulfport may not be the first choice for the largest 15- to 20-year contracts pursued by larger companies, he said it is positioned to serve projects being developed near its operations. He said Gulfport aims to work with customers on delivery requirements and to ensure its gas can reach available markets.

The company recently released 60,000 per day of firm transportation capacity, or roughly 10% of its takeaway capacity, according to an analyst’s question. Dell’Osso and Executive Vice President and CFO Michael Hodges characterized the move as an active management decision rather than a signal of a broader shift in strategy. Hodges said the company could reach a strong sales point without that transportation and saw an economic uplift from releasing it.

SCOOP Strategy and Executive Transition On potential larger-scale acquisitions, Dell’Osso said Gulfport will evaluate opportunities only where assets can improve the company at an appropriate valuation. He said the company does not intend to pursue deals simply to become larger and will seek a strategic advantage before bidding on assets.

Dell’Osso also said Gulfport’s SCOOP position remains strategically interesting. While the asset has received limited investment in recent years, he said production has remained relatively steady and the Mid-Continent could eventually provide valuable access to growing Gulf Coast demand. He said the company needs to do additional work to determine the appropriate investment and operating strategy for the asset.

Dell’Osso closed the call by recognizing Hodges, who is leaving the company after choosing to spend more time with his family. Dell’Osso said Hodges leaves Gulfport in a position of financial strength and thanked him for his leadership during the transition.

4imprint zvýšil výhled díky lepším novým zákaznickým objednávkám
FOUR Shift4 Payments
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
4imprint Group Plc (AQSE:FOUR) shares jumped 9.2% to 4,794.2p after the promotional products maker said it expects full-year revenue and profit above analysts’ current forecasts.

First-half revenue rose 1% to $666.4 million, while total orders slipped to 1.04 million from 1.05 million.

However, the decline in new customer acquisition moderated from 8% in the first quarter to 4% in the second, while the fall in new customer orders slowed from 9% to 5%.

The company expects revenue for the 2026 financial year to be "slightly above" last year’s $1.35 billion, with adjusted pre-tax profit of around $130 million.

New chairman Paul Forman said: "The board is encouraged by the group's first half performance, in particular the improvement in new customer orders through the period and the effective management of gross profit margin pressure resulting from tariff-related cost increases realised in the period."

Adjusted pre-tax profit declined 12% to $64.8 million as tariff-related supplier costs weighed on margins. 

The interim dividend was held at 80 cents per share.

Broker Panmure Liberum said the profit guidance was 14% ahead of its estimate.

It was noted that gross margin narrowed to 31.5% from 32.8%, with a 3% increase in average order values only partly offsetting higher costs. Adjusted operating margin fell to 9.4% from 10.7%.

Panmure said this improvement was the "key feature" of the results, although it said the "key risk" is the US economic cycle, where a recent small business optimism survey showed an improvement in June from May.

"Industry data suggests 2.5% growth in Q2 26, which makes us question whether 4imprint is still gaining share."

SpaceX vykazuje tržby 7,8 miliardy USD a čistou ztrátu 541 milionů USD
SPCX SpaceX
FMP Stock News 88
Original source text
SpaceX stock NASDAQ:SPCX reversed a 9.4% regular-session gain and fell 7.8% after hours on Tuesday, even after the rocket company delivered revenue above Wall Street forecasts in its first earnings report as a listed business.

Second-quarter sales nearly doubled to $7.8 billion, beating expectations near $6.8 billion, while the connectivity division led by Starlink generated $4.3 billion.

Yet SpaceX still posted a $541 million net loss, and investors focused on $15.8 billion of artificial-intelligence capital spending.

The results exposed a quieter tension, as Starlink is increasingly funding SpaceX’s ambitions, but its expanding orbital footprint may bring higher collision-avoidance, replacement, compliance and insurance costs.

Starlink ended the quarter with 12 million subscribers, slightly below the 12.19 million analyst forecast, while average revenue per user fell 22% from a year earlier.

Even so, connectivity revenue rose 66% and accounted for more than half of SpaceX’s total sales.

Morningstar equity analyst Nicolas Owens described Starlink as SpaceX’s current “earnings engine” in a July report, saying it could partially finance the company’s AI expansion.

Melissa Otto of S&P Global Market Intelligence made a similar point before earnings.

She said connectivity margins were SpaceX’s main profitability driver while the Space and AI divisions scaled. That makes any sustained increase in Starlink’s costs especially important.

Joel Shulman of ERShares called Starlink the “crown jewel” of SpaceX.

The phrase captures the contradiction that the company’s strongest business also carries its greatest exposure to crowded low-Earth orbit.

Starlink had about 10,860 operational satellites by July 30, making it the world’s largest active constellation.

Their limited working lives require a continuing cycle of launches, manoeuvres, replacement and deorbiting.

The immediate risk is orbital congestion rather than uncontrolled debris routinely reaching the ground.

Starlink satellites completed more than 355,000 collision-avoidance manoeuvres in the year to May 2026, according to Space.com, averaging more than 40 for each spacecraft.

Hugh Lewis, a space-sustainability expert at the University of Birmingham, told the publication that the industry was approaching a situation in which an operational constellation satellite would eventually be involved in a collision.

That does not mean an accident is imminent. The manoeuvres show SpaceX’s automated system is actively reducing danger.

The financial question is whether the workload can keep expanding without consuming more fuel, shortening satellite lives or requiring heavier investment in tracking.

SpaceX’s prospectus warns that orbital congestion and debris could cause satellite losses or degradation, increase collision-avoidance costs and force assets to be replaced or repositioned sooner than planned.

The disclosure does not quantify a liability or establish that debris costs are material to earnings.

It does show that SpaceX recognises orbital safety as a financial risk, not merely an engineering problem.

Future rules may also require additional mitigation spending or constrain licences.

A serious collision could interrupt service, damage customer confidence and create claims or insurance costs, although investors lack enough information to price those outcomes reliably.

AMD překonala odhady, akcie po zveřejnění výsledků klesly
AMD AMD
FMP Stock News 88
Original source text
Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD, XETRA:AMD) delivered close to the quarter the bulls wanted, and the shares fell almost 9% anyway.

Revenue of $11.5 billion was up 50% year on year and ahead of the $11.28 billion consensus, while adjusted earnings of $1.66 a share beat forecasts of about $1.60.

Data centre revenue, the only line that really matters now, more than doubled to $6.7 billion.

Guidance for the current quarter of $12.7 billion to $13.3 billion was in line, and Lisa Su told analysts that data centre revenue would more than double again in 2027, with server sales growing more than 80%.

The stock had risen 7% during the session before reversing in extended trading.

Too few baskets

The discomfort is about who is doing the buying. AMD's accelerator growth rests on a very short list of names: OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, Microsoft and Oracle, plus a handful of specialist GPU cloud providers.

Su acknowledged as much on the call, conceding that interest exists beyond the frontier model developers, but at a more ordinary scale rather than the gigawatt scale.

None of those largest customers has yet demonstrated that it can fund this level of spending out of its own profits.

That makes AMD's 2027 inflexion dependent on the willingness of capital markets to keep financing AI infrastructure, which is precisely the thing that has begun to wobble.

The Philadelphia semiconductor index has fallen roughly 20% from its late June peak, wiping more than $1 trillion from the value of chipmakers globally, with no deterioration in reported demand to explain it.

The circle

The structure of AMD's marquee deals sharpens the point. Meta's agreement to take up to six gigawatts of Instinct GPUs came with warrants over as much as 10% of AMD's equity, priced at a penny a share and vesting in full only if the stock reaches $600.

OpenAI holds a near-identical arrangement covering a similar six gigawatts.

Roughly a fifth of the company is therefore potentially owed to two of its largest customers, whose incentive to keep ordering is written directly into their own prospective shareholdings.

The Anthropic agreement, covering up to two gigawatts of MI450 series chips in Helios racks from the first half of 2027, goes a step further, because AMD is investing up to $5 billion into the customer.

Supporters read this as incentive alignment, while sceptics read it as revenue the supplier has partly funded itself.

Either way, the headline gigawatt numbers are "up to" commitments contingent on deployment milestones, and commitments are not shipments.

Little cushion elsewhere

The rest of the portfolio offers limited protection. Gaming revenue fell 31% to $779 million as the console cycle winds down, and although client sales rose 23% to $3.1 billion, AMD warned that surging memory prices will eat into personal computer demand over the coming quarters.

Embedded revenue grew 19% to $977 million.

Helios, the rack-scale system that takes on Nvidia's complete platforms rather than merely its chips, only begins shipping this quarter, with modest volumes before a step up in the fourth quarter and into 2027.

Valuation does the rest of the work, given the shares have risen nearly 130% this year and trade on roughly 69 times forward earnings.

At that multiple, meeting expectations is not enough, and a growth story resting on five customers and a 2027 acceleration invites investors to ask what happens if any one of them blinks.

SpaceX bude odebírat GPU výhradně od Nvidie
NVDA Nvidia
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Elon Musk says SpaceX is going all in on Nvidia's GPUs. Bloomberg/Getty Images SpaceX says it's ready to be a one-chip supplier company.

On SpaceX's highly anticipated earnings call on Wednesday, CEO Elon Musk said his company was committed to buying graphics processing units from only one place.

"Going forward, we've decided to build exclusively on Nvidia because we think the Vera Rubin architecture is the best architecture," Musk said on the call, talking about his company's compute capacity. "We think it's the best AI computer, and we greatly value our close cooperation and partnership on many levels with Nvidia. So we're exclusive to Nvidia."

He added that SpaceX will receive a significant percentage of Nvidia's GPUs next year, indicating that the space company could make up a notable share of Nvidia's revenue.

Nvidia has been a key technology partner for both of Musk's public companies, Tesla and SpaceX, supplying GPU platforms that support AI model training, simulation, and advanced computing. Although Tesla has invested heavily in custom AI chips, it continues to use Nvidia GPUs for various AI and data center workloads.

Following the call, Musk reiterated his commitment to Nvidia, announcing it again on X.

In a post on Wednesday night, he wrote: "SpaceX has committed to using Nvidia GPUs exclusively because they are the best."

An exclusive contract with Nvidia cuts out rival chipmakers like Intel, AMD, and Broadcom. The exclusive announcement also runs counter to the diversification strategy that large tech companies often employ to reduce the risk of supply bottlenecks and other challenges stemming from dependence on a single company.

'World class' productsMusk and his companies have received similar compliments from Nvidia in return.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has repeatedly praised Musk as an "extraordinary engineer," and said that Nvidia does significant business with Tesla and SpaceX's xAI. He has also called Musk's work on xAI's Grok and Tesla products "world-class."

On Wednesday, the space company reported its first quarterly earnings as a listed company, topping revenue expectations. It reported that second-quarter sales rose 92% year on year to $7.8 billion, driven by growth in AI infrastructure and Starlink, its satellite internet network.

On the call, Musk said the company aims to reach a $100 billion annual revenue run rate by year-end, but Wall Street remained cautious over the pace of spending and its impact on near-term profitability.

"I think it may be higher than that," Musk said, adding that the $100 billion ARR is "if we did nothing."

Despite revenue, investors focused on the company's high AI spending and a $541 million loss, sending shares down more than 7% after hours.

Caterpillar poprvé překročil tržby 20 miliard USD
CAT Caterpillar
FMP Stock News 88
Original source text
Caterpillar (CAT +5.60%) reported second-quarter results on Tuesday, and the headline number was a company first. Sales and revenues rose 24% year over year to $20.5 billion -- the first time Caterpillar has cleared $20 billion in a single quarter. Shares were up about 6% in Tuesday trading as of this writing, to around $880.

The more interesting story sits one layer down, in the segment results. Construction industries (the bulldozers, excavators, and loaders most investors picture when they hear the name) produced $8.3 billion of sales. Power and energy, the segment that sells generator engines and turbines, produced $8.2 billion -- with much of that demand now coming from data centers.

In other words, Caterpillar now sells nearly as much power equipment as construction equipment. And on the profit line, the power business has arguably already pulled ahead.

The power business has nearly caught construction Power and energy sales grew 17% year over year in the second quarter, driven by data center applications, gas compression, and aftermarket parts. Power generation, the slice of the segment most directly tied to data centers, grew 29% to $3.1 billion. The demand comes from the large engines and turbines that can power artificial intelligence (AI) facilities when the grid can't, or before a grid connection arrives.

And that slice keeps getting bigger. Power generation sales were about $2.4 billion in the second quarter of 2025 and $2.8 billion in this year's first quarter.

Demand looks even stronger than the revenue line shows: power generation sales to users grew 72% during the quarter, up from 48% growth in the first quarter, an acceleration driven by those same large gensets and turbines.

To be fair, construction industries grew faster this quarter. Its sales rose 35% year over year, helped by a 50% jump in North American sales.

So the story isn't that power is overtaking construction. It's that a business many investors never think about now rivals the famous one in size.

The profit comparison is sharper still. Power and energy generated $2.0 billion of segment profit in the quarter at a 24.6% margin, up 2.5 percentage points from a year ago. Construction industries generated $1.9 billion at a 23.3% margin, up 3.2 points. Both improved. But the power business now earns a higher margin than the equipment business -- and this quarter, more total profit, too.

Companywide, the operating margin reached 20.9%, up from 17.3% a year ago. Non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share rose 73% to $8.17.

The quarter also produced $4.4 billion of operating cash flow, which helped fund $1.5 billion of share repurchases and $0.7 billion of dividends.

A $72 billion order book, and a price to match The order backlog ended the quarter at about $72 billion, up from a record $63 billion three months earlier. Management also raised its full-year sales outlook, citing healthy demand across its primary segments. And it trimmed its estimate of this year's tariff costs to about $2.2 billion.

Visibility like that is rare for a cyclical manufacturer. It's also not a guarantee. Orders placed years ahead of delivery can slip, and big projects can be rescheduled. An order in the backlog isn't revenue until Caterpillar delivers it.

After Tuesday's jump, shares trade at about 38 times earnings, with the just-reported quarter folded into the count. That's a premium price for a machinery maker, even one growing this fast.

This is the quarter where Caterpillar's transformation stopped being a story about orders and started being one about delivered profit. I like the business more than I did a week ago. The power franchise is higher-margin than the construction franchise, demand for it is accelerating, and it's arguably still in its early innings given how far out customers are ordering.

Still, at about 38 times earnings, the price treats a cyclical manufacturer as if the power boom comes with a guarantee. It doesn't. Data center projects can pause, and spending that arrives in waves can leave in waves.

If I owned the stock, I'd keep holding it. But I'm not chasing it the day after a 6% pop. The business earned my respect this quarter. At about 38 times earnings, though, I'd be paying today for several more years of quarters like this one. I'd rather wait for a better price.

Neaktivní bitcoinová peněženka přesunula 16 400 BTC
BTC Bitcoin
CoinGecko News 72
Original source text
9h20 ▪ 5 min read ▪ by Luc Jose A.

Summarize this article with:

On August 3rd, a wallet that had been completely inactive for seven months transferred 16,400 bitcoins, nearly 1.04 billion dollars, reigniting speculation about the intentions of its holder. Indeed, this movement occurs while bitcoin is trading around 62,800 dollars, far from its all-time high of 126,198 dollars reached in October 2025. In a market where large fortunes quickly influence liquidity and investor sentiment, such an operation never goes unnoticed.

In Brief A crypto whale inactive for 7 months moved all of its 16,400 BTC, amounting to a total of 1.04 billion dollars. This movement occurs while Bitcoin oscillates around $62,800, down nearly 50% from its all-time high in October 2025. The operation represents about 0.0781% of the total Bitcoin supply and equals nearly 7% of the daily volume traded on the spot market. The funds were transferred to a brand new private wallet and not to a centralized exchange platform, dismissing the hypothesis of a direct sale deposit. A 1.04 billion dollar transfer in bitcoin While bitcoin could plunge to $40,000 according to Michael Terpin, the sending wallet is listed under the address “bc1qptc9cz269u2mc5yguun5a5d6yd5c7f7ne4qj26”. According to the data reported by the blockchain tracking platform Lookonchain, the entire accumulated reserve was moved in a single transaction to a new destination wallet. This massive transfer happens in a particularly gloomy market context, marked by limited spot trading volumes on major international exchange platforms.

To properly gauge the scale and statistical accuracy of this extraordinary operation, analysts extracted fundamental metrics characterizing this major movement. These data allow for a direct evaluation of the potential impact on the money supply in circulation as well as on overall market liquidity :

Total amount transferred : 16,400 BTC (the entire balance of the sending address) ; Estimated value at execution : approximately 1.04 billion dollars ; The bitcoin price at the time of transfer : $62,808 according to CryptoQuant (down 1.1 % over 24 hours and 3.8 % over 7 days) ; Proportion of total supply : 0.0781 % of the maximum total of 21 million BTC ; Proportion of daily spot volume: 6% to 7 % of the 15.7 billion dollars traded over 24 hours. According to the analysis firm Cypher Citadel, the operation spectacularly ranks “in the top 0.01 % of the largest crypto transactions over the past three months”.

Although the proportion relative to theoretical supply seems modest, it is considerably more colossal when compared to actual active liquidity, a major share of bitcoins being locked long-term.

The destination of the transaction The key element to retain does not solely lie in the volume moved but primarily in the nature of the final address that received the funds. The blockchain actually reveals that the 16,400 BTC were sent to a brand-new wallet created specifically for the occasion, not to an address belonging to a centralized exchange.

Thus, Cypher Citadel specialists confirm the transaction is classified as a transfer “from unknown address to unknown address”, a type generally associated with an internal custodian reshuffle or an over-the-counter (OTC) trade rather than a deposit prior to a sale on the spot market.

The analysis company underlines that “the 4 to 48-hour window ahead is a key observation period to detect potential secondary transfers to centralized exchange platforms”, where real selling pressure is expected to be exerted. This distinction is fundamental for market structure. A direct sale would have a devastating impact, while a simple migration to a new secure environment retains immediate neutrality on the price.

A historic precedent and perspectives for investors This dynamic fits into a historic pattern already observed several times by industry experts. Last July, a wallet inactive for over eight years moved 5,907.56 BTC, equivalent to 384 million dollars, to a new intermediate address without ever funding trading platforms.

As explained by the firm Glassnode, wallet-to-wallet movements frequently reflect “custody provider changes, transitions to cold storage solutions, or internal treasury management”, while only direct deposits to platforms translate the owners’ manifest intention to liquidate their positions. This phenomenon was even more marked earlier in the year, when an 80,000 BTC reserve inactive since Satoshi Nakamoto’s era and estimated at 8 billion dollars moved without any flow immediately impacting order books.

Ultimately, unless secondary movements contradict this data in the next hours, the hypothesis of a massive sale leading to a pending crash seems to be ruled out in favor of a technical migration of assets. Investors must nevertheless maintain nuanced vigilance. While the initial transfer remains neutral for the price situated around $62,800, the potential fragmentation of this sum towards OTC brokers or secondary platforms could subtly influence liquidity in a fragile spot market. Risk management therefore requires close monitoring of the evolution of this new wallet to anticipate any future repercussions on the ecosystem.

Tři muži z Missouri obviněni z plánu unést držitele bitcoinu
BTC Bitcoin
CoinGecko News 78
Original source text
Three Missouri men were charged over an alleged August 2024 plot to kidnap a Bitcoin holder and steal his holdings.

Sedric Louis, John Davis and Martel Williams were allegedly hired to kidnap and force a Bitcoin holder to transfer cryptocurrency to accounts controlled by organizers, according to a Tuesday press release by the US Attorney’s Office. They traveled from St. Louis to Connecticut, where they rented vehicles and obtained air rifles to stake out the victim.

After staking out the intended target for two days, they abandoned the plan for fear of being caught on home security cameras. Shortly afterward, another crew from Florida arrived to carry out the plan.

The three were charged with conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery under the Hobbs Act, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. Louis and Davis have been detained since their arrest on June 25, 2026. Williams was released on bond. All three pleaded not guilty.

Home invasions were the most common type of physical attack targeting cryptocurrency investors in the first half of 2026, according to blockchain security company CertiK. Crypto home invasions rose to 20 reported incidents in H1, up from a single case a year earlier.

Pinterest zvýšil marži, ale zklamal výhledem tržeb
PINS Pinterest
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
Pinterest Inc (NYSE:PINS) beat on revenue, beat on earnings, beat on users, raised its margin target for the year and then watched its shares fall more than 8% in extended trading.

Revenue of $1.18 billion was up 18% year on year against expectations of $1.15 billion.

Adjusted earnings of 43 cents a share came in well ahead of the 36 cents forecast, while adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $311 million beat a $270 million consensus.

Monthly active users hit a record 640 million, up 11%, with Gen Z now accounting for more than half the base.

The stock had climbed almost 6% during the session to $25.58 before sliding to around $23.45 after hours.

Guidance problem

The damage was done by the third-quarter outlook. Guidance of $1.19 billion to $1.21 billion implies growth of 13% to 15%, down from 18%, and lands almost exactly on consensus.

Management pointed to identifiable one-offs, since World Cup spending added nearly a percentage point in the second quarter and will not repeat, Amazon's Prime Day shifted out of the third quarter into the second, worth roughly half a point in each direction, and currency is a modest drag.

The explanation is credible, but it does not alter what the number says, which is that growth slows from here.

That matters more for Pinterest than for most, because the shares are down 17% over the past year and the average analyst price target has been cut from about $35 to below $24. Meeting expectations is no rescue when the story needed an inflexion.

Cheap AI bet

The more interesting disclosure was how Pinterest runs artificial intelligence. Rather than paying for access to the largest proprietary systems, it builds small task-specific models and post-trains open-weight models, which are freely downloadable, inside its own cloud environment.

Bill Ready, chief executive, said the cost per transaction is under 8% of comparable closed models, and went as far as arguing that any chief executive ignoring open models is wasting shareholders' money.

Julia Donnelly, finance chief, described routing infrastructure that sends complex work to expensive models and routine tasks to cheap ones.

The pay-off shows up in the full-year adjusted EBITDA margin target, lifted to roughly 30%.

That is the mirror image of the trade being struck across the rest of the sector, where companies are spending tens of billions on compute and asking investors for patience.

Why it does not rescue the stock

Cost discipline is simply not what the market is paying for at the moment. Pinterest generated $270 million of free cash flow in the quarter and has repurchased more than $2 billion of stock this year at an average price of $18, cutting net dilution by 12%.

It still reported a statutory loss of $47 million, against a $38.8 million profit a year earlier, largely on an inflated share-based compensation charge as the annual grant cycle was struck at a depressed share price.

There is an uncomfortable loop in that, because a weak stock makes the grants more dilutive, which makes the accounting look worse.

The strategic question is also unresolved, since more than 96% of Pinterest's text searches are unbranded, meaning its value rests on people browsing before they know what they want.

That is precisely the job general-purpose AI assistants are being built to do.

Open models keep the margins intact, but they do not settle who owns the search.

XRP testuje support na úrovni 1,05 až 1,06 USD při slabé důvěře
XRP Ripple
CoinGecko News 72
Original source text
XRP extended its decline on Aug. 5, 2026, trading near $1.07 as buyers struggled to move the token away from its lower range.

Summary

XRP trades near $1.07 as weak momentum keeps the token pinned above crucial technical support. CoinGlass data shows open interest near $2.25 billion after leveraged positions continued unwinding across exchanges. CryptoQuant sees balanced liquidations and neutral funding, suggesting positioning reset rather than forced capitulation currently. U.S. spot XRP ETFs reportedly logged four consecutive inflow days despite the token’s weak price. A sustained break below $1.05 could expose $1.00, while $1.10 remains the first recovery hurdle. crypto.news data showed XRP down about 0.9% over 24 hours, with trading volume near $911.7 million and market capitalization around $66.7 billion. XRP remained the sixth largest cryptocurrency.

The decline left XRP close to the $1.05 to $1.06 area that has repeatedly attracted buyers since late June. However, momentum indicators, spot flows and derivatives positioning offer little evidence of a confirmed recovery.

The current setup is not a typical liquidation collapse. Leverage has declined, funding remains close to neutral and liquidations have been relatively balanced. These conditions may reduce the risk of an immediate forced selloff, but they also show that traders have limited conviction in a rebound.

XRP price remains trapped near its lower range The supplied XRP/USDT daily chart shows a broad decline from above $2.50 to around $1.0676. Recent candles have formed a narrow consolidation close to the bottom of that move. XRP has not established a sustained recovery above $1.10, leaving the short term structure weak.

The relative strength index stood at 43.71, below both the neutral 50 level and its moving average of 44.87. The reading shows that buying momentum remains limited, although XRP has not entered deeply oversold territory on the daily chart.

XRP price chart, source: crypto.news MACD also remains mildly bearish. The MACD line was near negative 0.0110, below the signal line around negative 0.0101. The histogram remained slightly negative at about negative 0.0009. The small difference between the lines points to weak downside momentum rather than a sharp acceleration.

The immediate technical test sits between $1.05 and $1.06. A daily close below that range could expose the psychological $1 level and the late June lows around $1.01. XRP briefly broke the $1.05 area on July 28 before buyers returned. The earlier decline also pushed the four hour RSI into oversold territory, but that reading did not create a lasting reversal.

A recovery above $1.10 would provide the first evidence that buyers are regaining control. XRP would then need to clear the $1.13 to $1.15 region, which has repeatedly limited advances since June.

Analyst Ali Charts described $1.06 as the deciding level. His upside estimates of “$1.35 and $1.64” depend on XRP holding support and confirming a recovery. His downside levels of “$0.80 and potentially $0.62” require a clear breakdown. Neither path has been confirmed.

Other social media forecasts calling for “$23” or “$50+” are highly speculative. Those targets sit far above the current price and are not supported by present momentum, verified institutional forecasts or an established breakout structure.

Lower leverage points to a quiet positioning reset CoinGlass data showed XRP futures volume near $1.35 billion and total derivatives open interest around $2.25 billion at the time of reporting. The price on the platform stood near $1.067. The supplied data snapshot showed volume falling 10.27% and open interest declining 5.59% over 24 hours.

Falling price and falling open interest usually mean traders are closing positions rather than adding aggressive new shorts. This can reduce the fuel available for large liquidation driven moves. It does not, however, establish that spot buyers are ready to take control.

A separate CryptoQuant analysis found that its XRP open interest measure had fallen into a six month range low between 362 million and 369 million. The estimated leverage ratio also declined toward 0.139 to 0.142, close to the lowest reading during the same period.

CryptoQuant contributor CryptoOnchain also noted that funding remained between roughly negative 0.009 and positive 0.010 during the latest decline. Long and short liquidations alternated rather than producing a one sided cascade. The analyst interpreted the structure as a positioning reset rather than forced capitulation.

Network valuation also compressed faster than reported transaction activity. CryptoOnchain said the network value to transactions ratio fell 42.7% compared with its three month average, while transaction count declined 23.3%. This may indicate that market valuation weakened faster than ledger usage, but it does not provide a reliable timing signal for a price reversal.

The supplied CoinGlass spot flow chart recorded a net outflow of about $2.15 million on Aug. 5. Recent negative readings have been smaller than the large outflow spikes recorded in late 2025. Selling pressure appears less intense, but sustained positive flow would offer stronger evidence that demand is improving.

XRP Spot Inflow/Outflow, source: CoinGlass U.S. XRP demand has not produced a breakout U.S. spot XRP exchange traded funds have continued attracting capital despite weak price performance. Recent flow data reportedly showed four consecutive inflow sessions totaling about $15.4 million. 

XRP nevertheless remained near $1.08 during that period, showing that the purchases were not large enough to overcome selling elsewhere in the market.

As crypto.news reported in an earlier analysis, five U.S. spot XRP funds launched between November and December 2025 and had attracted roughly $1.5 billion by mid 2026. The funds created a new regulated source of demand, but XRP remained confined to a range around $1.00 to $1.13.

This divergence suggests that ETF inflows alone have not been enough to change the wider trend. Fund purchases must compete with token sales, exchange activity, derivatives hedging and weaker demand across offshore spot markets.

Regulated derivatives activity provides another U.S. market signal. CME Group data showed activity across its standard XRP futures contracts, while the settlement page listed prior day open interest of 6,894 contracts. CME contract data cannot be compared directly with CoinGlass totals because the products use different contract sizes and reporting methods.

The legal risk surrounding Ripple has also changed. The SEC and Ripple dismissed their appeals in August 2025. The district court’s final judgment remained in force, including a $125.04 million penalty and an injunction concerning future registration violations. The dismissal removed the active appeal, but it did not erase the court’s findings involving Ripple’s institutional sales. The SEC litigation release confirms that status.

Wider U.S. legislation remains unresolved. The CLARITY Act has reached the Senate calendar, but it still requires sufficient floor support, reconciliation with other legislative text and presidential approval. Seven Democratic senators said in July that the Republican proposal still fell short on several matters, and no final Senate vote had been confirmed by Aug. 5.

A confirmed vote or renewed delay could influence sentiment toward XRP and other U.S. traded digital assets. It would not, by itself, guarantee a sustained price move.

Ripple developments have not changed near term momentum Ripple announced strategic investments in ZILO and Licuido on Aug. 3. The companies plan to add transfer agency, token issuance, trading and collateral tools to Ripple’s institutional infrastructure on the XRP Ledger. Ripple did not disclose the investment amounts or financial targets. The official company announcement described RLUSD as a settlement asset for tokenized fund transactions.

As crypto.news reported in related coverage, the investments support Ripple’s broader move into tokenized capital markets. They have not yet produced disclosed revenue, transaction volume or XRP demand that can be tied directly to the token’s price.

The XRP Ledger also faced a validator manifest flood in late July. Developers released xrpld version 3.2.1 to restrict the processing and storage of untrusted manifests. The ledger continued closing normally, and no confirmed loss of funds or altered transactions was reported. Node operators were urged to install the update.

The next price signal will likely come from the market itself. Traders will watch whether XRP can hold $1.05, reclaim $1.10 and build stronger volume above $1.15. Open interest should also stabilize without price making new lows. Continued ETF inflows would be more constructive if they coincide with positive spot flows and stronger momentum.

A break below $1.05 would keep $1.00 exposed. A confirmed daily recovery above $1.15 would weaken the immediate bearish structure. Until either event occurs, XRP remains in a low conviction range with reduced leverage and limited bullish confirmation.

FAQs Is XRP oversold? Not on the supplied daily chart. Its RSI near 43.71 remains below neutral but above the conventional oversold level of 30. Shorter time frames have reached oversold readings during recent declines, although those readings did not confirm a lasting bottom.

Does falling open interest support an XRP recovery? It can reduce liquidation risk because fewer leveraged positions remain open. A recovery still requires stronger spot demand, improving momentum and price confirmation above resistance.

Why have XRP ETF inflows not lifted the price? ETF demand represents only one part of the market. It can be offset by direct token selling, hedging, weak offshore demand and distributions from existing holders.

What are the main XRP levels to watch? The immediate support range is $1.05 to $1.06, followed by $1.00. Initial resistance sits near $1.10, with stronger confirmation required above $1.13 to $1.15.

XRP ETF čtyři dny bez odlivů, čisté přílivy 1,51 miliardy USD
XRP Ripple
CoinGecko News 78
Original source text
U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have extended their streak of positive momentum. 

Although Aug. 4 ended with flat flows, the broader trend points to steady institutional confidence.

According to the latest market data, U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded $0 in net inflows on Aug. 4. Funds attracted $1.15 million on Aug. 3, $7.69 million on July 31, $5.98 million on July 30 and $584,710 on July 29.

HOT Stories

Taken together, those sessions brought in approximately $15.4 million before inflows paused. The latest flat session therefore extends the streak of trading days without outflows to four.

Despite the absence of new money on Aug. 4, cumulative net inflows across all U.S. spot XRP ETFs remained at a robust $1.51 billion. 

Total net assets stood at approximately $1 billion, equivalent to about 1.49% of XRP's total market capitalization.

Total value traded across XRP ETFs came in at $7.49 million, down from $9.99 million on Aug. 3 and below the roughly $10.3 million recorded on July 29. 

Even though the volumes eased, the lack of redemptions indicates that investors largely held their positions rather than exiting the market.

As reported by U.Today, XRP-focused ETFs stood out last week by attracting $15 million in net inflows. In comparison, Bitcoin ETFs saw $0.6 million in net outflows, Solana ETFs lost $17 million, and Ethereum ETFs posted a modest $0.4 million in inflows.

Largest funds continue to dominateBitwise's spot XRP ETF remains the largest fund by assets under management. It is followed by Franklin's XRPZ with roughly $258 million and Canary's XRPC with about $250.2 million.

21Shares' TOXR manages approximately $116.7 million, while Grayscale's GXRP oversees around $59.4 million. Combined, the five U.S. The recent streak follows a month marked by generally resilient investor demand. Since the start of July, XRP ETFs have experienced only a handful of outflow sessions, the largest being a $7.29 million withdrawal on July 8. Most other trading days either attracted fresh capital or finished with neutral flows.

BlackRockův ETHA provede reverzní split 1:3 v říjnu
ETH Ethereum
CoinGecko News 78
Original source text
BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) will undergo a one-for-three reverse share split effective October 6, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trust's sponsor, iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, approved the split on July 31. Every three ETHA shares outstanding as of the October 5 record date will be consolidated into one, raising the fund's per-share net asset value without changing the total value of any shareholder's holdings or the Trust's aggregate assets. No fractional shares will be issued; any fractional remainder will be redeemed and paid out in cash to the shareholder's brokerage account, a step the filing notes may carry tax consequences.

The filing does not explain BlackRock's rationale. Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas offered one on X, noting the adjustment should cut trading costs, from roughly seven basis points to about two. A lower share price widens the relative size of the bid-ask spread on a percentage basis, and pushing the price higher via a reverse split is a standard way issuers shrink that gap.

BlackRock has announced a 1 for 3 reverse split for $ETHA so the price will go from $14 to $42 in Oct.. this will lower cost to trade from 7bps to 2bps ish. Gotta love how ETF issuers consider a 7bp spread a PROBLEM and is adjusting to cut it to 2bps, meanwhile the crypto… pic.twitter.com/ifcoj7DATh

— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) August 4, 2026 ETHA has fallen alongside Ether itself. The ETF was trading near $14 this week, down roughly 40% year-to-date, tracking Ether's own decline. Despite the drop, ETHA remains the largest spot Ether ETF by assets; Grayscale's ether funds rank next.

Reverse splits aren't new to crypto ETFs. Grayscale completed similar splits on its Bitcoin Mini Trust and Ethereum Mini Trust in November 2024, lifting per-share NAV by 5x and 10x respectively. BlackRock's ratio is more modest, consistent with a share price that, even after a steep decline, hasn't fallen as far as those funds' had.

The split is cosmetic rather than structural, but it comes at a moment when ETHA's flows have drawn more attention than its share mechanics. The fund has been a focal point of redemptions as institutional enthusiasm for Ether has cooled this year. BlackRock also runs the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF, which began trading in March, giving the firm two ways to capture ETH ETF demand if it recovers. For now, the October adjustment changes how ETHA trades, not what it holds.

Ethereum zvažuje spalování odměn při vyšším stakingu
ETH Ethereum
CoinGecko News 86
Original source text
Altcoins

5 August 2026 | 10:49 Ethereum researchers are considering a new reward-burn mechanism that would let validator issuance decline at high staking levels, aiming to reduce dilution and weaken incentives for excessive concentration.

Key Takeaways Draft requires approval and a future hard fork. Burn reaches 100% at 60.25 million ETH. Issuance peaks near 20% staking participation. Largest operators face weaker incentives to expand. Idealised deductions preserve validator performance incentives. Lower issuance may reduce unstaked holders’ dilution. Under draft EIP-8363, called Tapered Issuance Burn, a growing share of validator rewards would be burned as staking participation rises.

At 60.25 million ETH in active stake—a saturation balance designed to represent approximately half of ETH’s supply at activation, the burn would offset 100% of the idealised consensus rewards covered by the mechanism.

The proposal remains a Core EIP draft rather than an approved Ethereum upgrade. It would require a hard fork because it changes Ethereum’s consensus-layer state transition, although no changes to the execution layer or existing smart contracts would be needed. Its technical and economic details may still change, and discussion is continuing on the Ethereum Magicians forum.

The Proposal Would Let Yield Limit Staking Growth Ethereum’s current issuance curve reduces the return earned by individual validators as more ETH enters staking. However, it never completely removes the financial incentive to add more stake.

According to the proposal, the existing curve retains a yield floor of roughly 1.5% even at extremely high participation. The market can therefore reach an equilibrium only if the return demanded by the next potential validator remains above that floor.

That required return may continue falling as institutional custodians, liquid-staking protocols and professional infrastructure providers reduce the operational, liquidity and technical costs that previously discouraged holders from staking. The trend is already visible in proposed institutional products: Morgan Stanley’s planned Ether trust intends to stake between 50% and 80% of its ETH through external providers if the product launches.

Unstaked holders are also diluted when the protocol creates new ETH for validators. As staking becomes easier, accepting that dilution may become less attractive than moving ETH into a staking service or yield-bearing derivative.

EIP-8363 would allow net consensus yield to keep declining rather than stopping at a protocol-defined minimum. After rewards are calculated through the existing system, a growing portion would be deducted and burned.

Annual consensus issuance would stop rising continuously with the staking ratio. It would peak when approximately 19.8% of ETH is staked and decline as participation moved beyond that level.

60.25 Million ETH Is Not a Staking Cap The saturation balance is an economic reference point rather than a hard limit. The proposal would not reject new validators, force existing participants to exit or prevent more than 60.25 million ETH from entering staking.

At that balance, the consensus issuance earned by a correctly performing validator from the duties covered by the mechanism would be fully offset by the burn. Validators could still receive execution-layer income from priority fees and maximal extractable value, or MEV.

The proposed burn rises with staking participation and reaches 100% at the 60.25 million ETH saturation balance. Source: Draft EIP-8363. The authors do not expect the market to reach saturation under ordinary conditions. Validators generally require a positive return to compensate for infrastructure, maintenance, downtime, liquidity restrictions and slashing exposure.

As net yield declines, some participants would stop entering while others could exit. The expected equilibrium would therefore sit below 50%, where the remaining return matches the compensation demanded by the next validator.

High Staking Can Increase Concentration Risks More stake raises the nominal value exposed to slashing during an attack, but the proposal argues that the additional security benefit becomes progressively smaller as staking participation rises.

A high staking ratio can also move more ETH into exchanges, custodians, liquid-staking protocols and institutional products because many holders cannot or do not want to operate validators directly. Validator power may consequently become concentrated among a limited number of professional operators.

Concentration creates an operational risk beyond the issuance debate. If more than one-third of validators go offline together, Ethereum loses finality until the required two-thirds majority is restored. That makes the network’s 33.3% threshold especially important when validators cluster around the same clients, hosting providers or jurisdictions.

The authors are particularly concerned that a dominant provider could become systemically difficult to slash. If a large operator suffered a major slashing event, its customers could have enough financial and political influence to seek intervention rather than accept the losses.

High participation could also weaken Ethereum’s ability to coordinate against a colluding validator group. Social slashing depends on the wider economy supporting an alternative chain, which becomes harder when a large percentage of ETH is controlled through custodians and staking intermediaries.

The Curve Turns Scale Against Large Operators The current issuance system continually rewards expansion: an operator that adds validators increases its share of active stake while total issuance also grows with network participation. There is no operator size or staking ratio at which another validator reduces that operator’s consensus income. The tapered burn would change that relationship because, once issuance peaks near a 20% staking ratio, an expanding operator would claim a larger share of a shrinking reward pool.

For the largest operators, the decline in the total reward pool could eventually outweigh the benefit of controlling more validators. The EIP calculates that an operator holding half of all active stake would stop increasing its consensus income through expansion once approximately 31% of the ETH supply is staked.

Smaller operators would reach the same turning point closer to the 50% saturation balance. The mechanism would therefore weaken consensus-layer economies of scale sooner for entities that already control the largest share of stake.

The mechanism would not eliminate every advantage enjoyed by large operators because it would not affect MEV or priority-fee income.

Solo Stakers Face a Different Tax Equation The proposal’s authors argue that the existing curve creates a separate disadvantage for solo validators. Dilution reduces the real return earned by every staker, while individuals in jurisdictions that tax staking rewards as income may still owe tax on their full nominal rewards.

Some institutional investors and holders using accumulating exchange-traded products, non-rebasing liquid-staking tokens or wrapped tokens may not face the same immediate tax burden. Solo participants could therefore reach negative dilution-adjusted returns sooner, encouraging them to close validators or move their ETH into an intermediary and potentially increasing concentration.

By limiting issuance growth, EIP-8363 attempts to reduce that disadvantage. It would not change tax law or remove the operational benefits enjoyed by professional providers, but it could lower the dilution component that affects solo stakers earlier.

Critics See the Opposite Risk for Solo Stakers Not everyone accepts the proposal’s argument that lower issuance would reduce the disadvantages faced by solo stakers. Mike Silagadze, co-founder and CEO of ether.fi, argues that the mechanism could produce the opposite result.

In an August 4 post, Silagadze criticised what he described as a 48-hour comment window for a major change to Ethereum’s network economics. He argued that lower rewards could push independent validators out while leaving large centralised operators with lower capital and operating costs in a stronger position.

This is so disappointing on every level.

EIP released with 48 hours notice for comments. Realistically 4 months before it goes live. For a major network economics change with far reaching implications for all of DeFi.

Every builder on Ethereum opposes this. Why is this a focus?… https://t.co/qQbCui8aju

— Mike Silagadze🛡 (@MikeSilagadze) August 4, 2026

Silagadze also warned that declining staking returns could drive capital away from DeFi protocols built around staking and potentially encourage large amounts of ETH to be withdrawn. In his view, that could increase the amount of ETH available to enter the market rather than support its price through lower issuance.

Silagadze’s predictions remain unproven, but they expose the key question facing the proposal: whether lower rewards would weaken large staking operators or leave independent validators unable to compete with them.

Why the Burn Uses Idealised Rewards The deduction would be based on the reward attached to an assigned duty, regardless of whether the validator completed it successfully. An offline validator would therefore pay the burn alongside the normal penalty for failing to participate, preventing operators from avoiding the deduction by switching off.

If Ethereum instead burned only part of the reward actually earned, the financial difference between completing and missing a duty would shrink as the burn increased. At a burn fraction represented by b, the marginal reward for correct performance would fall to 1-b of its current level.

EIP-8363 avoids that problem by calculating the deduction from what a perfectly performing validator would have earned under the network’s actual participation conditions. Correct performance therefore retains the same advantage over failure.

The mechanism includes an exception for an inactivity leak, Ethereum’s recovery mode when the chain has failed to finalise for more than four epochs. Because attestation rewards are withheld during an inactivity leak, EIP-8363 would suspend the attestation portion of the burn, while proposer and sync committee deductions could continue where the corresponding rewards are still paid.

Lower Dilution Could Support ETH as Neutral Money By reducing net issuance, EIP-8363 would lessen the pressure to stake merely to preserve a holder’s share of the ETH supply. The proposal’s authors argue that this could support ETH’s role as neutral collateral, a settlement asset and a unit of account.

At high staking participation, liquid-staking tokens and other yield-bearing derivatives can become more attractive than unstaked ETH for savings, collateral and payments. Applications adopting them also inherit the smart-contract, governance and counterparty risks associated with their issuers.

Greater use of competing derivatives could fragment liquidity and increase the influence of the organisations that issue and govern them. Lower dilution would allow unstaked ETH to compete without requiring holders and applications to adopt an intermediated substitute.

The Transition Would Take About 18 Months Applying the permanent burn curve immediately would sharply reduce returns at the staking ratio used in the draft’s calculations.

At the roughly 34% staking level shown by ValidatorQueue, the draft’s model indicates that an immediate transition could cut net consensus yield from around 2.6% to 1.2%. A sudden decline of that size could trigger a substantial validator exit.

To reduce the shock, the effective base reward factor would begin at 128, twice its current value of 64, and gradually return to 64 over 123,300 epochs, or approximately 18 months.

The temporary increase would scale rewards, penalties and the burn together, allowing net yield to begin near its existing level before moving toward the permanent curve.

The reduction would occur through 65 small steps, with each level lasting approximately 1,927 epochs, or 8.6 days.

The transition would give validators approximately 18 months to reassess their costs and exit through the normal process before the permanent reward curve took full effect.

MEV Remains but Issuance Still Dominates Yield Execution-layer income from priority fees and maximal extractable value, or MEV, would remain outside EIP-8363. As consensus issuance declined, these rewards would account for a larger share of validator income.

According to the EIP authors’ calculation, payments to proposers recorded through MEV-Boost relays totalled approximately 72,600 ETH across 2.42 million blocks during the year ending July 31, 2026. That equals an average of roughly 0.030 ETH per block.

The authors then applied the same average to approximately 190,000 locally built blocks. They describe this as an upper-bound assumption because locally built blocks generally receive lower execution-layer rewards. The calculation places total execution-layer rewards below 78,300 ETH for the period.

Using approximately 40 million staked ETH as the calculation base, the proposal estimates that these execution-layer rewards represented a return of no more than 0.20%. Consensus issuance was substantially larger at approximately 1.054 million ETH annually, equivalent to a return of around 2.62%.

Based on those estimates, consensus issuance accounted for at least 93% of total staking yield. Even if the staking ratio settled at 40% under the proposed curve, the authors calculate that issuance would still represent at least 80% of validator yield.

MEV would nevertheless continue rewarding operator expansion because expected execution-layer income grows with an operator’s share of block proposals. EIP-8363 does not directly remove that incentive, which is why the draft presents MEV burn research as a complementary approach that could reduce validator income and shift equilibrium toward a lower staking ratio.

Lower Issuance Would Not Guarantee Deflation EIP-8363 would reduce net consensus issuance and permanently destroy ETH deducted from validators, but it would not automatically cause the total supply to decline.

The mechanism would complement the fee burn introduced by EIP-1559. EIP-1559 removes Ethereum’s base transaction fee from circulation, while EIP-8363 would burn part of the ETH calculated as consensus-layer rewards.

If staking settled below the saturation balance, validators would continue receiving positive consensus issuance. Whether Ethereum became inflationary or deflationary would depend on whether transaction-fee burning exceeded that remaining issuance.

Supply could therefore continue growing during periods of low network activity and contract when transaction demand was stronger. The proposal aims to limit consensus issuance, not guarantee permanent deflation.

The Proposal Still Has to Pass Review The authors have completed a draft implementation for the Prysm consensus client, although formal test vectors had not yet been included in the reviewed draft. Client code demonstrates technical progress but does not determine whether the EIP will enter a future hard fork.

The outcome would depend not only on technical review but also on validator operating costs, tax treatment, MEV income, liquidity preferences and the return investors demand for staking risk. Rather than selecting a fixed staking target, EIP-8363 attempts to remove the permanent yield floor and let those market conditions determine where participation settles.

Jefferies čeká zrychlení tržeb Cloudflare a vyšší výhled
NETUSA CloudFlare
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) is expected to accelerate revenue growth in the second quarter and raise its full-year outlook, according to Jefferies, with investors likely looking for a path toward a mid-30% growth rate by the end of 2026 when the company reports results on August 6.

The company's Q2 revenue guide of $664.5 million at the midpoint implies year-over-year growth of about 30%, a four-percentage-point sequential deceleration despite a one-percentage-point tougher comparison.

Jefferies wrote that the target appears achievable, but investors are likely looking for growth of at least 34% and guidance that supports confidence in a mid-30% growth exit rate.

The firm expects Cloudflare to beat its second-quarter revenue guidance, based on the company’s recent performance, which would bring growth to about 33.6% year over year. Jefferies also expects Cloudflare to raise its full-year revenue guidance by more than the amount of any second-quarter beat.

Jefferies’ proprietary survey produced mixed results ahead of the report, with performance to plan declining to 0.6% in the second quarter from 2.1% in the first. On a seasonally adjusted basis, however, performance was solid at 0.8%, compared with the second quarter of 2025. The survey also indicated continued momentum in SASE, while 65% of respondents expected Cloudflare spending to accelerate in the second half compared with the first half.

Investors are also likely to focus on the impact of Cloudflare’s previously announced 20% workforce reduction and any updates on the search for a chief revenue officer. Jefferies wrote that management appears confident the workforce reduction will not disrupt operations, particularly given its limited expected impact on quota-carrying sales representatives, although the firm continues to see some near-term risk that could constrain growth acceleration.

Cloudflare’s full-year revenue guidance currently calls for 30% year-over-year growth. Jefferies expects the company to raise its outlook and wrote that investors will likely seek commentary supporting a path toward a mid-30% growth exit rate, while noting tougher second-half comparisons and the workforce reduction as potential constraints.

On profitability, Cloudflare’s Q2 guidance calls for a non-GAAP operating margin of 13.6% to 13.7%, representing about 220 basis points of sequential expansion and roughly 50 basis points of year-over-year contraction. Jefferies expects some operating margin upside, partly reflecting benefits from the workforce reduction, while continuing to expect pressure on gross margins.

Cloudflare’s full-year guidance calls for a non-GAAP operating margin of 14.9% to 15%. At its investor day, the company also raised its long-term operating margin target to more than 30%, citing AI-driven productivity gains and lower headcount as key drivers.

Jefferies wrote that Cloudflare remains well positioned to benefit from AI-related demand and cybersecurity vendor consolidation, but noted that the stock’s valuation, at about 29 times estimated 2027 enterprise value to revenue, remains elevated.

Shares of Cloudflare traded up 7% at $303 on Tuesday afternoon, having surged almost 54% so far this year.

Chainlink ukončuje Build program a přechází na platby v LINK
LINK Chainlink
CoinGecko News 86
Original source text
The Chainlink ecosystem is continually evolving how it supports the growth of early and mid-stage projects. As part of this work, Chainlink Labs periodically reassesses existing programs to ensure resources are optimized to achieve the greatest long-term impact for network growth.

Since its launch, the Chainlink Build program has helped accelerate the growth of more than 80 projects, providing teams with the technical support, strategic guidance, ecosystem connections, and visibility needed to get to market and grow. Through the Chainlink Rewards program, approximately $20 million worth of Build project tokens have been made available to eligible LINK stakers. We are grateful to every team and contributor who has been part of the program along the way.

As broader market conditions and project funding models have shifted, it has become clear that the Build program’s structure must also adapt to reflect the changing landscape. As such, Chainlink Labs is transitioning from payments made in project tokens to focusing on commercial agreements involving fees paid in LINK or other liquid assets that can be readily converted to LINK.

With this shift, existing arrangements under the Build program are being concluded, while new commercial agreements are being established based on historical participation in the Build program on a case-by-case basis. Proceeds from these new agreements are expected to be programmatically converted to LINK and used to support the growth of the network through programs such as the Chainlink Reserve. Going forward, ecosystem growth programs will take a new approach, with a focus on engaging with strategically aligned projects. As part of this transition, the most recent season of Chainlink Rewards will mark the conclusion of Build-related token rewards, with claims ending on July 7, 2026. 

Product and engineering resources currently supporting the Rewards program will be redirected toward higher-priority economic initiatives that benefit the broader Chainlink community. We will continue to work with projects in refining how growth programs support early-stage builders in the Chainlink ecosystem.
