BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eDreams ODIGEO (the “Company” or “eDO”) (BME: EDR) (OTC: EDDRF), the world’s leading travel subscription platform, today announced the scaling of its Prime subscription offering in South Africa, moving the region into a phase of full-scale expansion.
For more than a year, eDO has actively established the Prime proposition among local consumers, generating highly conclusive performance data that validate the market's readiness for a travel subscription model. Notably, South African subscribers report a high Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 62. Measured on the industry-standard scale of -100 to +100, this figure represents an exceptional rating and indicates high levels of customer advocacy.
South Africa is the continent’s largest domestic travel market and presents a distinct opportunity for the subscription model. The operational performance since its initial introduction has confirmed that the Prime proposition, encompassing member-only deals on flights, hotels, packages, and car rentals, alongside highly valued flexibility features, resonates strongly with the country's value driven traveller base. Furthermore, the country’s advanced digital landscape and high smartphone penetration have proven to align seamlessly with eDO’s app-first strategy, allowing the business to rapidly scale its footprint.
This acceleration is a core component of the wider strategic roadmap unveiled by the Company in November 2025, which targets a Prime membership base of over 13 million by 2030. The success of these established operations in South Africa serves as a validated blueprint for the Company's wider international expansion strategy, which focuses on identifying and penetrating high potential markets where the subscription model can deliver superior long term value.
Dana Dunne, Chief Executive Officer at eDreams ODIGEO, said: "We are delighted to accelerate the expansion of Prime in South Africa, the very first footprint of our subscription programme on the African continent. Having operated Prime in this market for more than a year, we are moving forward not with assumptions, but with the absolute certainty of results that our data has already delivered. Our subscription proposition has proven that South African travellers are eager for the value and flexibility that Prime offers, evidenced by exceptional satisfaction scores. As we continue to execute on our strategic roadmap to 2030, we look forward to deepening our presence in this dynamic market and helping even more travellers explore the world for less."

SAN DIEGO, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endeavor Bancorp (OTCQX: EDVR) (the “Company” or “Bancorp”), the holding company for Endeavor Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $1.42 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.70 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and $1.36 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. All financial results are unaudited.
“Our first quarter results delivered exactly what we set out to achieve, highlighted by exceptional net interest margin expansion that meaningfully strengthened our earnings profile,” said Julie Glance, CFO. “Continued growth across both loans and deposits further reinforced the momentum we carried into the new year. The investments we have made in our people and technology platform continue to generate tangible results, reflected in elevated client engagement and strengthening relationships across our portfolio. We are executing on our plan with discipline and confidence, and our strong positioning gives us clear visibility toward continued earnings growth as we move through 2026.”
Results for the first quarter of 2026 included a $909,000 provision for credit losses, reflecting continued prudent credit risk management. This compared to a $664,000 provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2025, and a $385,000 provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2025. Core pre-tax earnings, excluding taxes and loan loss provisions, were $2.91 million in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $151,000, or 4.9%, compared to $3.06 million in the preceding quarter, and up $577,000, or 24.7%, from $2.33 million in the first quarter of 2025.
“A highlight of the first quarter was the completion of our $10.0 million private placement of common shares,” said Dan Yates, CEO. “The success of this capital raise is a reflection of the strength of our bank and the dedication of our Board of Directors, management and team members as we expand our community bank throughout Southern California, providing our style of consultative banking to businesses who need us.”
“This additional capital is already being put to work, deepening our ability to serve the business customers who depend on us while strengthening the long-term value we are committed to building for our shareholders,” said Steve Sefton, President. “We continue to scale our team and execute on our deployment strategy, and our financial modeling gives us strong conviction in the returns this capital will generate over the next several years.”
Income Statement
Continued loan growth and stable earning asset yields drove solid earnings for the first quarter of 2026. Total interest income on loans and bank deposits and investments was $12.2 million, equal to the $12.2 million earned in the preceding quarter, while total interest expenses decreased $332,000 during the same timeframe. Net interest income was $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, which was a 4.9% increase compared to the preceding quarter and a 20.9% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025.
“Our net interest margin expanded by 26 basis points in the first quarter compared to the prior quarter, and 36 basis points year-over-year,” said Yates. “In a quarter marked by monetary policy uncertainty and evolving macro conditions, our team executed with focus and precision, translating a stable rate backdrop into meaningful net interest margin growth. With the Federal Reserve holding rates steady through both its January and March 2026 meetings, our disciplined balance sheet positioning drove continued net interest margin strength throughout the quarter.”
The Company’s net interest margin improved 26 basis points to 4.48% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 4.22% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and increased 36 basis points compared to 4.12% in the first quarter of 2025. The yield on total earning assets during the first quarter of 2026 was 6.45%, compared to 6.35% in the preceding quarter, and 6.52% in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease during the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to the Fed Reserve rate cuts. The cost of funds decreased to 2.13% in the first quarter, compared to 2.26% in the fourth quarter of 2025, and decreased compared to2.58% in the first quarter of 2025.
Non-Interest income was $419,000 in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $113,000 or 21.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, and an increase of $236,000, or 129.0% compared to the first quarter of 2025. The fourth quarter of 2025 included higher SBA loan sales income.
Non-Interest expense was $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $435,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, and an increase of $1.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase in expenses was driven by several factors. Total salaries and benefits rose by $558,000 compared to the first quarter of 2025, while higher network fees associated with off-balance-sheet deposits added $250,000 — though this was directly offset by a corresponding increase in miscellaneous income. Additionally, annual board compensation of approximately $250,000 was paid in the first quarter of 2026, whereas in 2025 that payment was deferred to the second quarter, creating a timing difference that further contributed to the year-over-year variance.
The Company’s annualized return on average equity for the first quarter of 2026 was 9.31%, compared to 12.82% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 11.68% in the first quarter of 2025. The annualized return on average assets for the first quarter of 2026 was 0.74% compared to 0.87% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 0.79% for the first quarter of 2025.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased by $34.9 million, or 4.5%, during the first quarter of 2026 to $805.5 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $770.6 million at December 31, 2025, and increased $101.0 million, or 14.3%, compared to March 31, 2025. Balance sheet liquidity remains strong with cash balances of $106.9 million, which represents 13.3% of total assets as of March 31, 2026. The Company’s investment securities increased $683,000 during the first quarter of 2026 to $33.1 million as of March 31, 2026, representing 4.1% of total assets. Total available borrowing capacity through the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve discount window totaled $238 million as of March 31, 2026.
“Loan growth was strong in the first quarter, supported by continued momentum in deposit gathering that reflects the breadth of our client relationships and the quality of our funding base,” said Sefton.
Total loans outstanding increased $17.0 million, or 2.6%, during the first quarter of 2026 to $660.4 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $643.4 million three months earlier, and increased $62.6 million, or 10.5%, when compared to $597.8 million a year earlier. Total non-performing loans decreased to 0.04% of the total loan portfolio as of March 31, 2026, compared to 0.17% as of December 31, 2025. The Company had no net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2026, compared to $197,000 in net loan charge-offs during the preceding quarter and no net charge-offs during the year ago quarter.
Total deposits increased $26.5 million, or 3.9%, during the quarter to $709.2 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $682.7 million three months earlier, and increased $83.0 million, or 13.3% when compared to $626.2 million a year earlier. “Our funding strategy remains deliberately diversified, drawing on reciprocal and off-balance-sheet deposit programs alongside multiple contingent liquidity sources to ensure resilience across market conditions. We continue to actively monitor higher-balance deposit relationships for signs of volatility, staying well ahead of any potential volatility,” said Glance. The loan to deposit ratio was 93.1% at March 31, 2026, compared to 94.2% at December 31, 2025, and 95.5% as of March 31, 2025.
As a result of its participation in reciprocal deposit placement networks, the Bank accepted “reciprocal” deposits from other institutions, enabling the Bank to offer customers FDIC insurance on accounts in excess of the typical $250,000 FDIC insurance limit. Although the reciprocal deposits maintained through the network are core deposits seeking FDIC insurance, the FDIC rules indicate that reciprocal deposits aggregating over 20% of total liabilities are classified as deposits obtained by or through a deposit broker. The total reciprocal deposits reported as brokered deposits were $111.7 million at March 31, 2026, and $110.4 million as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, to support strong loan growth, the Company is utilizing a conservative amount of wholesale deposits. As of March 31, 2026, total wholesale deposits, excluding the reciprocal deposits, were $44.5 million, representing 6.28% of total deposits compared to $35.3 million, or 5.2% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, wholesale deposits were $55.7 million, representing an overall decrease of 20.1%.
Shareholders’ equity increased to $64.8 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $53.1 million at December 31, 2025, and $47.7 million at March 31, 2025. Tangible book value per share increased to $14.99 at March 31, 2026, compared to $14.68 three months earlier and $13.61 a year earlier.
Capital
The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.72% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 10.24% at December 31, 2025. The Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.60% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 10.36% at December 31, 2025, and the Total risk-based capital ratio was 12.85% compared to 11.61% three months earlier, all of which remained well above regulatory minimums.
On January 30, 2026, the Company announced that it has completed a private placement of $10.0 million of the Company’s common shares to certain accredited investors. The Company issued 666,665 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $15.00 per share in connection with the private placement transaction. The Company expects to use the proceeds from the capital raise to support organic and strategic growth opportunities.
The transaction was conducted internally with accredited investors without the use of an external investment banker or broker to raise the capital. Management and board members participated in the offering with a $799,000 investment and contributed an additional $419,000 capital through stock option exercises.

Transaction Expected to Fill Capacity, Drive Near-Term Revenue Growth, and Increase Cash Flows; Demonstrate Management’s Commitment to Shareholders April 27, 2026 08:30 ET | Source: Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc.
MIDLAND, Pa., April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Big Digital Energy, Inc. (“Big Digital” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MIGI; expected to change to “BGDE” on April 30, 2026), formerly known as Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc., today announced that it has entered into a strategic colocation agreement with an affiliate of the Endeavor Group (“Endeavor”). Endeavor consists of certain members of the Company’s management team.
Under the terms of the agreement, Endeavor will purchase and deliver approximately 25,000 mining computers, and Big Digital will provide Endeavor with approximately 75MW of compute capacity. The Parties will operate under a 50%/50% profit-sharing arrangement whereby Big Digital will receive 100% of the cash proceeds from the miners, and Endeavor will be compensated with a mix of shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock.
Phil Stanley, Chief Executive Officer of Big Digital, commented, “This agreement demonstrates how the new management team at Big Digital is aggressively working to unearth new revenue streams and maximize the utility of our assets. By leveraging our existing infrastructure and partnering with a well-capitalized counterparty, we’re able to rapidly bring incremental capacity online in a capital-efficient manner. This is the first of many transactions we expect to undertake as we focus on accelerating revenue growth, expanding our operational footprint, enhancing overall profitability, and creating value for our shareholders.”
Joshua Kilgore, Executive Chairman of Big Digital, stated, “We are committed to the long-term performance of Big Digital and have structured this transaction to demonstrate our commitment. This arrangement: (1) rapidly enhances Big Digital’s cash flows, (2) does not require Big Digital to deploy capital or incur liabilities, (3) provides Big Digital with an above market profit-sharing arrangement, and (4) is only profitable for Endeavor if Big Digital’s shares appreciate materially.”
The transaction was reviewed and unanimously approved by the independent members of the Company’s Audit Committee. All directors and officers with an ownership interest in Endeavor recused themselves from all deliberations and did not participate in the vote. The consideration under the agreement will be based on the market value of the mining computers and a volume-weighted average price of the common stock as of the date of the agreement.
The Company expects the deployment of the mining computers to commence promptly, utilizing available capacity across Big Digital’s existing infrastructure footprint. This initiative is aligned with the Company’s broader strategy of optimizing underutilized assets while pursuing high-return opportunities across its digital infrastructure platform. The incremental free cashflow to the Company will be used to improve existing assets, build out new assets, and build a secure foundation for the future.

Direct operating costs per tonne in Q1 2026 increased to $186.92, 31% higher than $142.72 in Q1 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the addition of Terronera and Kolpa, which had direct operating costs per tonne of $195.11 and $155.92, respectively, during Q1 2026. The disposal of Bolañitos, which had a lower direct operating cost per tonne of $102.81 in Q1 2025, also contributed to the higher consolidated average. In addition, Guanaceví experienced higher cost per tonne due to lower throughput and higher underlying direct production costs.
Consolidated cash costs per silver ounce, net of by-product credits, were $22.54 in Q1 2026, representing a 42% increase from $15.89 in Q1 2025 due to the higher metal prices causing higher royalty, third party material cost, and special mining duties. Each mine has different costs and produces different amounts of payable silver, which affect the consolidated cash cost per ounce depending on the mix of production. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the cash costs per silver ounce were $24.52 for Kolpa, $38.59 for Guanaceví, offset by negative $2.14 for Terronera.
Consolidated All‑in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) per silver ounce in Q1 2026 were $37.03, 51% higher than $24.48 in Q1 2025. The increase was predominantly due to the contribution of Kolpa, which had AISC of $36.12 per ounce, and higher AISC of $48.47 at Guanaceví caused by the higher third-party material cost, higher royalties and special mining duties, partially offset by the contribution from Terronera, where AISC of $22.31 per ounce lowered the consolidated average. Consolidated AISC decreased from $41.19 in Q4 2025 to $37.03 in Q1 2026 primarily reflecting the ramp up of operations at Terronera and the efficiencies gained.
In Q1 2026, the Company’s mine operating earnings were $93.5 million (Q1 2025 – $12.9 million), driven by operating earnings of $38.4 million from Terronera, $23.0 million from Kolpa, and $20.4 million higher operating earnings at Guanaceví, partially offset by lower operating earnings from Bolañitos following its sale on January 15, 2026. Revenue for the quarter was $209.7 million, compared to $63.5 million in Q1 2025 driven by higher metal prices and higher sales, while cost of sales increased to $116.3 million from $50.6 million, primarily due to the inclusion of revenue and costs incurred at Terronera and Kolpa.
The Company recorded operating earnings of $83.8 million in Q1 2026 (Q1 2025 – $4.1 million) after exploration expenditures of $5.0 million (Q1 2025 – $4.5 million) and general and administrative expenses of $4.7 million (Q1 2025 – $4.3 million). Exploration expenses increased due to additional expenditures on advancing Pitarrilla and exploration work at Kolpa, partially offset by lower exploration spending at Terronera.
Earnings before taxes for Q1 2026 were $85.9 million, compared to a loss of $27.7 million in Q1 2025. This was after a loss on derivative contract revaluations of $24.2 million, a foreign exchange loss of $0.3 million, investment and other income loss of $3.2 million, and finance costs of $5.8 million, partially offset by a gain on the sale of Bolañitos of $35.6 million.
The Company recorded net earnings of $64.9 million for Q1 2026 (Q1 2025 – net loss of $32.9 million) after income tax expense of $21.0 million, which included $33.8 million of current tax expense and a deferred tax recovery of $12.8 million, primarily arising from temporary differences related to the buildup of finished goods inventory.

BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eDreams ODIGEO (hereinafter ‘the Company’ or ‘eDO’) (BME: EDR) (OTC: EDDRF), the world’s leading travel subscription platform, today announced that its latest ‘Prime Days’ campaign has achieved record results for new member acquisition. This performance was notably driven by significant growth across new product segments, particularly rail and accommodation, and remains firmly in line with the Company’s high-conviction growth plan and financial guidance.
The 15th edition of the event marked a milestone for new subscribers joining the programme through the compelling Prime Days offering. This record in Prime first-time bookings highlights how the platform is increasingly appealing to a broader base of customers who value a single, multi-product destination for all their travel needs. The success of these diversification efforts is further reflected in a record Prime attachment rate across all product categories during the event.
Performance data from Prime Days show that accommodation and rail products are growing as intended within the Prime ecosystem. This supports the Company’s goal of increasing member lifetime value through a multi-product proposition and is consistent with the guidance for the fiscal year and the longer-term strategic objective to exceed 13 million members by 2030.
Prime Days are exclusive sales events designed to reward the loyalty of the Prime community with member-only deals offered in collaboration with global travel partners across flights, hotels, trains, and car rentals. This edition was particularly significant as it marked the highest participation to date of industry partners for a May edition. By partnering with Prime with special, member-only deals, global travel providers gain unique access to an incremental and closed group of travellers, boosting yields and visibility, proving that the Prime model is a winning proposition not just for its members, but also for the wider travel industry.
Frédéric Esclapez, Chief Marketing Officer at eDreams ODIGEO, said: “The strong performance of these Prime Days confirms that our multi-product strategy is delivering according to plan. By expanding our reach across more travel categories, we are reinforcing our foundations for long-term growth as outlined in our strategic roadmap. Our members are increasingly viewing Prime as a comprehensive travel companion, and this diversification is key to maintaining our global leadership and providing consistent value to our shareholders and subscriber community.”
BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eDreams ODIGEO (the “Company” or “eDO”) (BME: EDR) (OTC: EDDRF), the world’s leading travel subscription company and a global pioneer in artificial intelligence, today hosted an intensive technical deep dive session on AI for the global investment community. During the presentation, the Company showcased how its decade-long leadership in AI has created a unique, high-performance engine that will power its strategy to reach 13 million subscribers by March 2030.
A new AI-powered engineering model
The Company revealed that its AI-first engineering model has fundamentally redefined its innovation velocity. eDO’s AI infrastructure now enables technical teams to bring new business concepts to market with a five-fold acceleration. In the Company’s most advanced development teams, 100% of all new code is now AI-generated under human command and design, allowing for increased resourcing of high-value business initiatives.
This strategic shift has delivered a 47% year-on-year increase in engineering productivity, creating significant operational leverage and enabling technical talent to lead the Company’s most complex value-creation projects.
Leveraging LLMs as an acquisition opportunity
Management detailed how eDO’s technical maturity has transformed conversational AI platforms such as Gemini and ChatGPT into a vast acquisition opportunity. While these platforms excel at conversational discovery, the structural complexity of travel, including complex IATA licensing, financial guarantees, sophisticated multi-inventory management, or 24/7 operational customer support, positions eDO as the indispensable fulfilment layer that makes the agentic era work.
By deploying over 100 Model Context Protocols (MCPs) - an open standard that enables AI models to securely and consistently connect to external data, tools, and software - eDO has integrated its complex booking engine directly into global ecosystems. This allows horizontal AI assistants to move beyond dialogue and actually complete secure, real-world bookings on eDO’s platform, effectively making conversational AI another channel in the Company’s multi-source acquisition architecture.
This industrial scale engine is supported by an architecture that ingests more than 100 terabytes of high quality information every day. This represents roughly 50 billion pages of uncompressed text; if printed and stacked, a single day’s data flow would reach 5,000 kilometres into space. This scale enables the technical team to command a constant supply of refined data to power its 247 global apps and websites.
Dana Dunne, Chief Executive Officer at eDreams ODIGEO said: "AI continues to rapidly redefine how people discover and book travel, but enduring leadership won’t come from access to models alone, it will come from the strength of the ecosystem behind them. We have spent over a decade building proprietary technology, deeply embedded subscription relationships and the operational infrastructure required to deliver travel seamlessly at global scale. That combination creates a moat that is exceptionally difficult to replicate, and we are glad we had the opportunity to showcase this in our inaugural AI Day.
“As the market evolves, our focus is not simply on adapting to AI, but on shaping how AI is applied across our entire customer journey, from inspiration and personalisation through to fulfilment and service. The companies that lead this transformation will be those that pair intelligence with execution, and that’s where we continue to set the standard.
“Our technical maturity and vision will ensure we continue to deliver unprecedented value to our subscribers and shareholders alike, while accelerating our path to exceed 13 million subscribers by 2030."
BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eDreams ODIGEO (the “Company” or “eDO”) (BME: EDR) (OTC: EDDRF) the world’s leading travel subscription company, today reported strong results for its fiscal year 2026, ended 31 March 2026. The period was marked by a successful balance of operational excellence and high-conviction strategic investments. Driven by the continuing expansion of its pioneering travel Prime subscription programme, the business continued to de-risk its model and accelerate its growth into a fully diversified, global all-travel ecosystem.
Dana Dunne, Chief Executive Officer at eDreams ODIGEO said: “We are executing a high-conviction strategy to accelerate growth and maximise long-term value for our stakeholders. The execution of this plan to date demonstrates again, as we have in the past, our ability to successfully deliver and balance targeted investments with continued operational excellence. Performance metrics are already meeting our strategic objectives.
“Our subscription platform fosters strong customer relationships and generates predictable, recurring revenue, which protects us from market volatility and supports sustained growth. Robust cash generation and an optimised capital structure uniquely equip us to expand our product and international footprint while maintaining our commitment to shareholder returns. Leveraging our decade-long leadership in AI, which is embedded into eDO’s DNA, we are transforming the business into a diversified, global travel platform designed for future growth. We have the team, the technology, and the strategy to reach farther and further, and we are excited for the immense opportunities that lie ahead.”
A Year of Financial and Operational Delivery
November 2025 marked the launch of eDO’s new 3.5-year strategic roadmap, following the successful achievement of all previous long-term objectives. Launched from a position of strength, eDO’s high-conviction roadmap is designed to accelerate growth as a diversified, global all-travel platform, building an even more successful business to maximise value for all stakeholders.
This initial phase of transformation is already delivering tangible results, successfully balancing strategic investments for future growth with continued operational excellence. Financial and operational delivery remains the focus, with final audited figures confirming the Prime membership base expanded by 643,000 net additions in fiscal year 2026. This represents a 7.2% outperformance above the annual guidance of 600,000 net adds and lands slightly ahead of the preliminary pre-audit metric announced in April.
This strong trajectory has continued into the current fiscal year 2027, with the subscriber base now reaching 8 million members. The continuous growth and increasing maturity of the membership base is a result of rising consumer satisfaction and endorses the Company's confidence in delivering on its long-term target of 13 million members by March 2030.
Reflecting planned investments and the transition to an annual subscription with monthly and quarterly payments, rather than a single upfront fee, eDO reached a Cash EBITDA of €157 million, exceeding its target of €155 million. The new monthly and quarterly payment model enhances lifetime value and acts as a key enabler for even higher growth rates as the Company scales Prime members into new geographies and product areas. While the timing of cash inflows naturally shifts under this model, eDO is guaranteed to receive these funds over the course of the annual subscription.
Consequently, in the transitionary fiscal year 2026, the underlying operational momentum is best demonstrated by Adjusted EBITDA, which strips out these short-term cash timing effects. Adjusted EBITDA, notably driven by increased maturity of subscribers, grew significantly to €172.3 million, representing a remarkable 29% increase year on year.
eDO’s strong profit performance further demonstrates the success of exemplary execution, with Adjusted Net Income (which better reflects true operational performance) reaching an all-time high in eDO’s history of €72.9 million, and representing a significant 42% increase compared to the €51.2 million achieved in the previous year. Net Income also hit a record high of €52.2 million.
The Prime model remains the primary driver of structural profitability, representing 75% of Cash Revenue Margin and 90% of total Cash Marginal Profit. To augment this, variable costs decreased by 11%, reflecting increasing subscriber maturity reducing marketing and customer acquisition costs.
Reaffirmed Long-Term Outlook and Shareholder Remuneration
The Company's balance sheet and cash generation are very strong, enabling it to invest to drive and accelerate future growth while simultaneously returning value to its shareholders through an active remuneration framework. During the fiscal year, eDO invested €64.4 million in share buy-backs and has a total €67 million remaining to be deployed under the €100 million programme running through September 2027.
As eDO delivers the Company’s planned investments, it expects Adjusted EBITDA (pre-investments) of €167 million by the close of the current fiscal year, in March 2027. Beyond that, eDO’s outlook remains strong: profitability2 is projected to grow by more than 33% per annum from April 2027 onwards as member cohorts mature and margins return to the 23% range by FY30. Over the longer term, eDO’s roadmap is designed to substantially increase subscriber growth to between 1.5 million and 2 million net adds per year between April 2027 and March 2030, steering the Company toward its goal of more than 13 million Prime members and over €270 million in Cash EBITDA by March 2030.

The Zacks Auto Retail and Wholesale industry faces a subdued outlook, shaped by affordability pressures, moderating sales, geopolitical risks and a challenging electric vehicle (EV) landscape. High vehicle prices, elevated interest rates, and economic uncertainty continue to weigh on demand, while sales are weakening after a strong prior year. Rising geopolitical tensions could further impact fuel costs and consumer sentiment. At the same time, slowing EV demand contrasts with steady hybrid growth. Despite the headwinds, stocks like Penske Automotive (PAG - Free Report) and AutoNation (AN - Free Report) are better positioned, thanks to their strategic buyouts, digitization efforts and investor friendly movies.
About the Industry The auto retail and wholesale industry plays a key role in how cars, trucks and auto parts reach consumers. Companies in this space operate through dealership networks and retail chains, selling both new and used vehicles, offering repair and maintenance services, and helping customers with financing. Since this is a consumer-driven industry, its performance often depends on how strong the economy is. When people have more disposable income, they're more likely to spend on vehicles. But during tougher times, like economic slowdowns, big purchases are often put on hold. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way the industry works, pushing dealers to focus more on online tools and e-commerce. That digital shift is expected to continue, shaping how vehicles are bought and sold in the future.
Factors Shaping the Industry's Fate Affordability Concerns: Affordability remains a key headwind for the U.S. auto retail industry, as high vehicle prices and economic uncertainty weigh on consumer demand. The average transaction price of a new vehicle was around $49,353 in February, making it too expensive for many buyers. At the same time, tariff policies—such as a 25% levy on imported parts and 50% on steel and aluminum—are pushing production costs higher. These pressures are keeping vehicle prices elevated, making affordability the industry’s most persistent challenge.
Cooling Sales Momentum: The U.S. auto retail industry is expected to see sales ease after a strong period last year. March sales are projected to decline nearly 12% year over year, largely due to a high base, as pre-tariff buying in March 2025 had pushed annualized sales pace to a four-year high. Monthly sales are now forecast at 1.37 million units, reflecting a drop from that surge. More broadly, higher vehicle prices, persistent inflation, and elevated interest rates are weighing on demand, with full-year 2026 sales expected to decline a modest 2.6% year over year to 15.8 million units.
Geopolitical Uncertainty: Geopolitical tensions are also a cause of concern for the U.S. auto retail industry. Escalating conflicts in the Middle East and rising threats around critical oil routes like the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted global energy supplies and pushed fuel prices higher. This can have ripple effects across the economy, raising overall living costs. As expenses rise, consumer sentiment toward big-ticket purchases like vehicles may further weaken. Prolonged conflict or further escalation could also hurt global economic stability, creating a challenging environment for auto sales.
Challenging EV Landscape: The EV market is facing a more challenging phase after a surge last year, owing to incentive-related buying. Demand has softened in early 2026, as the removal of federal tax incentives continues to weigh on consumer interest. EV sales are projected to decline sharply, down nearly 28% year over year in the first quarter. In contrast, hybrid vehicles are seeing steady growth, with strong momentum led by automakers like Toyota and Honda.
Zacks Industry Rank is Discouraging The Zacks Auto Retail & Wholesale industry is part of the broader Zacks Auto-Tires-Trucks sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #213, which places it in the bottom 13% of nearly 245 Zacks industries.
The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates weak near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
The industry’s position in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of a negative earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate.Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are getting pessimistic about this group’s earnings growth potential. Over the past year, the industry's earnings estimate for 2026 has declined 8%.
We will present a couple of stocks that you might consider adding to your watchlist. But before that, let’s discuss the industry’s recent stock market performance and valuation picture.
Industry Lags Sector and S&P 500 The Zacks Auto Retail & Whole Sales industry has remained flat, underperforming the Zacks S&P 500 composite as well as the Auto, Tires and Truck sector over the past year, which grew 16.5% and 31.2%, respectively.
One-Year Price PerformanceIndustry's Current Valuation Since automotive companies are debt-laden, it makes sense to value them based on the enterprise value/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EV/EBITDA) ratio.
On the basis of the trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA, the industry is currently trading at 8.37X compared with the S&P 500’s 16.55X and the sector’s trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA of 27.48X.
Over the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 10.66X, as low as 4.78X and at a median of 7.21X, as the chart below shows.

2 Stocks to Keep An Eye On Penske: It is one of the leading automotive and commercial truck retailers with a well-diversified and resilient business model. The company continues to expand through strategic acquisitions, including the recent purchase of Lexus dealerships in Central Florida, which is expected to add around $450 million in annual revenues. Its service and parts segment provides a stable, recurring income stream, supported by rising demand for complex repairs in advanced vehicles.
Penske also benefits from steady earnings from Penske Transportation Solutions, which is positioned for growth as freight demand improves. Backed by a strong balance sheet, consistent share buybacks, and 21 consecutive dividend hikes, PAG offers a compelling mix of growth and shareholder returns.
Penske currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 and 2027 sales implies year-over-year growth of 5.5% and 2.5%, respectively. While the consensus mark for 2026 EPS calls for a 1% year-over-year decline, the same for 2027 points to a 7% uptick from projected 2026 levels.
Price & Consensus: PAGAutoNation: It is one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States, supported by its broad geographic footprint and expanding dealership network. The company continues to grow through acquisitions. Last year, AN inked deals that are expected to contribute more than $650 million in annual revenues. Its Finance division is its key strength, showing improved profitability, higher in-store penetration, and solid credit performance, further boosted by the acquisition of CIG Financial.
AutoNation is also enhancing its digital presence through the AutoNation Express platform, improving the online buying experience. Strong shareholder returns remain a priority, with significant share repurchases and nearly $1 billion still available under its current buyback program.
AutoNation currently carries a Zacks Rank #3. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 and 2027 sales implies year-over-year growth of 2% and 3%, respectively. The consensus mark for 2026 and 2027 EPS calls for a year-over-year uptick of 6% and 12%, respectively, from projected 2026 levels.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--During National Car Care Month in April, the experts at AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN) are urging drivers to take a proactive approach to vehicle maintenance, a move that can improve safety, boost fuel efficiency and reduce long-term repair costs.
“Preventive maintenance remains one of the smartest financial and safety decisions a vehicle owner can make,” said Christian Treiber, AutoNation’s President of After-Sales. “Small maintenance steps taken now can help drivers prevent larger, more expensive problems down the road. In addition, a vehicle that’s never missed an oil change and has a documented maintenance history might bring an owner as much as 10% higher trade-in value.”
AutoNation’s service experts recommend the following tips during National Car Care Month:
Check tire pressure and tread. Warmer temperatures are on the way and can affect tire pressure. Drivers should check tire pressure monthly and inspect tread depth before spring road trips. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, properly inflated tires improve fuel efficiency, saving up to 11 cents per gallon, extend tire life by 4,700 miles, and enhance safety.
Inspect brakes and address warning signs early. Drivers shouldn’t wait for squealing, grinding or vibration during braking, all possible signs of wear and tear that can lead to costly repairs. Brake wear depends heavily on driving habits, and most manufacturers don’t list a fixed mileage for brake pad replacement. Instead, routine brake inspections are recommended at every tire rotation or oil change to determine when these should be replaced to avoid major service bills and minimize safety risks.
Test the battery before summer heat. High temperatures strain aging batteries. Testing batteries in April can help drivers avoid getting stranded when summer heat peaks. Most batteries last three to five years.
Replace wiper blades and inspect lights. Spring showers demand clear visibility. Drivers should replace worn wiper blades and confirm that headlights, brake lights and turn signals function properly.
Top off and replace essential fluids. Checking engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and windshield washer fluid helps vehicles run efficiently and prevents wear on major systems that could lead to expensive fixes.
Replace air filters to improve efficiency. Maintaining a clean engine air filter can improve fuel efficiency and engine performance. Even small improvements in efficiency contribute to fuel savings over time.
Schedule a checkup. Factory-trained technicians will inspect the battery, tires, antifreeze, brakes, and headlights. At AutoNation, complimentary multi-point inspections include a vehicle status report, tire pressure adjustment, and fluid top-off.
AutoNation’s service experts also encourage drivers to review their owner’s manual for recommended service intervals.
“National Car Care Month serves as an important reminder that routine maintenance protects drivers’ safety and their budgets,” said Treiber.
AutoNation hosts complimentary Car Care Clinics at select stores, along with a variety of community-focused events year-round, reinforcing its commitment to supporting families and promoting safe driving practices nationwide.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: AutoNation (AN - Free Report) AutoNation, Inc. is one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States. Apart from retailing new and used vehicles, the company offers vehicle maintenance and repair services, vehicle parts, extended service contracts, vehicle protection products, and other aftermarket products. In addition, it arranges financing for vehicle purchases through third-party sources.
AN is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 9.37; value investors should take notice.
For fiscal 2026, five analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.14 to $21.33 per share. AN boasts an average earnings surprise of +7.6%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, AN should be on investors' short list.

The market expects AutoNation (AN - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 1, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis auto retailer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $4.71 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +0.6%.
Revenues are expected to be $6.66 billion, down 0.5% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.91% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for AutoNation?For AutoNation, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -2.87%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that AutoNation will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that AutoNation would post earnings of $4.91 per share when it actually produced earnings of $5.08, delivering a surprise of +3.46%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
AutoNation doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
An Industry Player's Expected ResultsGroup 1 Automotive (GPI - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Automotive - Retail and Whole Sales industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $8.93 for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of -12.2%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $5.5 billion, down 0% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Group 1 Automotive has been revised 0.4% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -1.38%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.
When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Group 1 Automotive will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN) today reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $6.6 billion, a decrease of 2% compared to the same period a year ago. For the quarter, EPS was $5.85, compared to $4.45 a year ago, and Adjusted EPS was $4.69, compared to $4.68 a year ago. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.
“We are pleased to report our strong first quarter results highlighted by record gross profit in After-Sales and record unit profitability in Customer Financial Services. Unit profitability for new and used vehicles increased sequentially. These gains largely offset expected year‑over‑year declines in unit sales,” said Mike Manley, Chief Executive Officer of AutoNation. “Adjusted earnings per share increased year-over-year for the fifth consecutive quarter, and strong cash flow conversion supported our continued deployment of capital toward share repurchases. AutoNation Finance continued to scale, growing its portfolio to $2.4 billion while improving profitability, credit performance, and debt funding. Our diversified earnings profile, flexible cost structure, and strong balance sheet and cash flows continue to support resilient performance and disciplined capital deployment to generate shareholder returns in a dynamic operating environment,” Manley concluded.

AutoNation (AN - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $4.69 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.71 per share. This compares to earnings of $4.68 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -0.43%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this auto retailer would post earnings of $4.91 per share when it actually produced earnings of $5.08, delivering a surprise of +3.46%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
AutoNation, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Retail and Whole Sales industry, posted revenues of $6.55 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.6%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $6.69 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
AutoNation shares have added about 2.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 5.3%.
What's Next for AutoNation?While AutoNation has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for AutoNation was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $5.47 on $7.01 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $21.31 on $28.07 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Retail and Whole Sales is currently in the bottom 25% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Titan Machinery (TITN - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2026.
This agriculture and construction equipment seller is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.61 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -5.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Titan Machinery's revenues are expected to be $493.22 million, down 17% from the year-ago quarter.
AutoNation (AN - Free Report) reported $6.55 billion in revenue for the quarter ended March 2026, representing a year-over-year decline of 2.1%. EPS of $4.69 for the same period compares to $4.68 a year ago.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Key Takeaways AutoNation Q1 EPS and revenues missed estimates as sales fell and costs rose year over year.AN's new-vehicle revenues dropped on lower volumes, with units down 7.9% and profit per unit shrinking.AutoNation's parts, service and finance segments showed resilience, supporting overall profit. AutoNation, Inc. (AN - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $4.69 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.71 by 0.43%. Revenues amounted to $6.55 billion, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.66 billion by 1.6%. The top line declined from $6.69 billion reported in the first quarter of 2025.
The results showed a familiar pattern: strong performance in higher-margin businesses was offset by weaker sales volumes and higher costs. Adjusted free cash flow was $255.6 million, with a solid 155% conversion of adjusted net income.
AN’s Top-Line Miss Tied to Lower New-Vehicle RevenuesAN’s consolidated revenues declined as new-vehicle sales softened. New-vehicle revenues fell to $3.01 billion from $3.25 billion a year ago, mainly due to fewer cars being sold and a lower contribution from this segment.
New vehicle retail units sold dropped 7.9% year over year to 57,482 units. The average selling price (ASP) per new vehicle unit retailed was $52,382. Gross profit from the segment was $144.5 million, which declined 17.4% year over year. Gross profit per new vehicle retailed slid to $2,514, indicating profitability pressures in the new-vehicle channel versus the year-ago period.
AN’s Used and F&I Trends Show Resilience Despite VolumesAN’s used-vehicle results were more stable than new vehicles, helped by pricing and mix. Retail used-vehicle revenues increased 1.5% year over year to $1.82 billion, while used vehicle retail units sold declined 3.2% to 65,818 units. ASP per used vehicle unit retailed totaled $27,646. Gross profit from the segment was $104.9 million. Gross profit per used vehicle retailed totaled $1,594.
Revenues from wholesale used vehicles were up 10.7% to $144.2 million. Gross profit rose to $16.5 million from $11.5 million reported a year ago.
Finance and insurance remained a steady earnings contributor. Finance and insurance, net revenues were essentially flat at $352 million, and gross profit from the segment was $352 million. Gross profit per unit in this category improved to $2,855. Combined with used-vehicle dynamics, these steadier lines continued to support gross profit durability even as total retail units fell.
AutoNation’s After-Sales Business Again Carries the MixAutoNation’s parts and service operation delivered the clearest growth signal in the quarter. Parts and service revenues increased 4.9% year over year to $1.22 billion, supported by continued demand for maintenance and repair work.
Profitability remained strong in this area. Parts and service gross profit increased to $593.4 million from $567.7 million last year, making it the biggest contributor to overall profit and helping offset weaker new-vehicle performance.
AN Segment Performance Mixed Across RegionsRevenues from the Domestic segment totaled $1.72 billion. The segment’s income climbed 13.2% to $78.1 million.
Revenues from the Import segment totaled $2.05 billion. The segment’s income declined 9.8% to $113.8 million.
Premium Luxury segment sales fell 5.2% to $2.44 billion. The segmental income declined 13.4% year over year to $154.8 million.
AutoNation’s Expense Profile Pressures Operating LeverageGross profit was mostly steady, but costs moved higher. Total gross profit dipped slightly to $1.21 billion from $1.22 billion, while SG&A expenses rose to $842.2 million from $821.9 million, putting pressure on margins.
Operating income fell 6.5% year over year to $314.3 million. On a comparable basis, it declined to $311.7 million, while adjusted SG&A rose to 69.8% of gross profit from 67.5% last year, highlighting higher costs despite only a small change in gross profit.
AN Finance Growth and Capital Returns Stay in FocusAN’s captive finance platform expanded meaningfully and became a larger contributor to profitability. AutoNation Finance income improved to $9.4 million from $0.1 million a year ago, reflecting stronger net interest dynamics and portfolio scaling.
Cash deployment remained shareholder-friendly. Adjusted free cash flow was $255.6 million, and Capital expenditure in the quarter amounted to $56.4 million. Liquidity stood at roughly $1.6 billion at quarter-end, including $66 million of cash and $1.6 billion of available capacity under the revolving credit facility. At the end of the first quarter, non-vehicle debt was $4.12 billion.
During the quarter, the company bought back 1.5 million shares for $300 million. Currently, AN has $685 million remaining under its share repurchase program.
AN currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

$120,000 to fund a rebuild of the Arizona Association for Foster and Adoptive Parents community park; $10,000 to support a Make-A-Wish Arizona pediatric cancer patient from Phoenix Children’s Hospital
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On May 29, AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale donated a combined $130,000 to two Arizona nonprofits during a day of giving led by General Manager, Sara Bishop.
The morning ceremony, held at the AZAFAP community park, featured the presentation of a $120,000 check, the largest single contribution that AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale has presented to the organization.
"Friday marked a meaningful milestone in our 12-year partnership with AZAFAP and our long-term commitment to driving out cancer through Make-A-Wish,” said Sara Bishop, General Manager at AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale. "From investing in the rebuild of this community park to creating a memorable camping experience for Elsa and her family, we are proud to help make a lasting impact across the Phoenix community.”
The event included the unveiling of architectural renderings for the new park, remarks from AutoNation, Subaru and AZAFAP leadership, and family-friendly activities for the families in attendance. The donation builds on a 12-year partnership between AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale and AZAFAP that has now totaled more than $230,000 in donations.

"AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale is one of the most consistent and generous partners we have. For more than a decade, Sara and her team have shown up for our families," said Lynn Fox-Embrey, Treasurer of the Arizona Association for Foster and Adoptive Parents. "This investment will transform our community park into a space where our foster and adoptive families can come together for years to come."
The afternoon ceremony, held at the AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale store, marked a $10,000 donation to Make-A-Wish Arizona with a celebration for Elsa, a seven-year-old pediatric cancer patient from Phoenix Children's Hospital. Sara and her team hosted a camping-themed party, inspired by Elsa’s wish to go camping with her family. “We are grateful to Sara and the AutoNation Subaru Scottsdale team, for providing a day of joy for Elsa,” said Fran Mallace, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Arizona “Donations like this are essential to our mission and will help us bring her wish to life, giving Elsa the chance to reconnect with nature and make new memories with her family.”

Phoenix, AZ, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) has released its Q1 2026 Crane Index, offering a fresh view of construction activity across eighteen major North American cities. The findings show that although the total number of cranes remains stable, development patterns are shifting. Commercial crane counts collectively increased by 60 percent across surveyed markets, underscoring a reorientation of urban construction priorities.
The index measures fixed tower cranes on active construction sites, providing a direct indicator of the industry’s physical workload. Among the cities tracked, eight recorded no change in crane counts, six reported decreases, and four saw increases. This mix of activity points to a cautious but deliberate approach, as developers advance select projects while responding to broader economic conditions.
Report Highlights:
• Commercial Sector Growth: Crane counts for commercial projects rose 60 percent, driven by new office, retail, and mixed-use starts.
• Regional Activity: Miami posted a 55 percent increase, adding 18 cranes to its skyline. Other cities, including Chicago, experienced growth supported by hospitality and residential development.
• Market Stability: Overall crane counts across North America remained consistent, as gains in some regions offset moderated activity in others.
“The first quarter of 2026 reflects a measured but steady start to the year,” said Paul Brussow, President of RLB North America. “We are seeing owners and developers carefully evaluate long-term investment decisions while still advancing projects in key sectors. The data indicates a transition away from predominantly residential-driven expansion toward a more diversified development landscape, with notable strength in commercial and mixed-use projects.”

Sales of $318.3 million increased 27.9% compared to the prior year, driven by 9.4% core sales growth, a 17.2% contribution from the acquisition of Druck, and a 1.2% benefit from favorable foreign exchange. Operating profit margin of 22.5% declined 350 basis points year-over-year, primarily reflecting acquisition related transaction costs and intangible amortization coupled with dilution from the Druck acquisition offset by higher volumes and favorable net price. Adjusted operating profit margin, excluding acquisition related transaction costs and intangible amortization, of 24.6% declined 160 basis points compared to a year ago.

Sales of $378.1 million increased 22.5% compared to the prior year, primarily driven by a 19.2% contribution from the previously announced acquisitions of optek-Danulat, Panametrics, and Reuter-Stokes, and a 3.9% benefit from favorable foreign exchange offset slightly by a 0.6% core sales decline. Operating profit margin of 17.0% decreased 330bps compared to the prior year reflecting acquisition related transaction costs and intangible amortization, dilution from recent acquisitions, and lower volumes, partially offset by strong productivity and favorable net price. Adjusted operating profit margin, excluding acquisition related transaction costs and intangible amortization, was 22.1%, up 50 basis points compared to a year ago.
Raising 2026 Guidance
We are raising our full year adjusted EPS outlook to $6.65-$6.85 from $6.55-$6.75, representing approximately 12% growth at the midpoint versus 2025. Both periods exclude after‑tax amortization of acquisition‑related intangibles. In addition, the 2025 results exclude hurricane‑related insurance recoveries, which contributed $0.16 to full year EPS.
Key assumptions for our guidance include:
Total sales growth in the low- to mid-20%s, driven by the Druck, Panametrics, Reuter-Stokes, and optek-Danulat acquisitions, as well as mid-single digit core sales growth and a roughly 1 percent foreign exchange benefit. Adjusted segment operating margin of nearly 23.0% (up slightly from our prior estimate of 22.5%+). Corporate cost of approximately $80-$85 million. Net non-operating expense of approximately $58 million, with the increase driven by the interest expense associated with acquisition financing. Adjusted tax rate of approximately 23.0%. Diluted shares of ~59 million. Additional details of our outlook and guidance are included in the presentation that accompanies this earnings release available on our website at www.craneco.com in the "investors" section.

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained.
Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to: changes in global economic conditions (including inflationary pressures and tariffs) and geopolitical risks, including macroeconomic fluctuations that may harm our business, results of operation and stock price; being unable to identify or complete acquisitions, or to successfully integrate the businesses we acquire, or complete dispositions; information systems and technology network failures and breaches in data security, theft of personally identifiable and other information, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such information; our ability to source components and raw materials from suppliers, including disruptions and delays in our supply chain; demand for our products, which is variable and subject to factors beyond our control; governmental regulations and failure to comply with those regulations; fluctuations in the prices of our components and raw materials; loss of personnel or being unable to hire and retain additional personnel needed to sustain and grow our business as planned; risks from environmental liabilities, costs, litigation and violations that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation; risks associated with conducting a substantial portion of our business outside the U.S.; adverse impacts from intangible asset impairment charges; potential product liability or warranty claims; being unable to successfully develop and introduce new products, which would limit our ability to grow and maintain our competitive position and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow; significant competition in our markets; additional tax expenses or exposures that could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; inadequate or ineffective internal controls; specific risks relating to our reportable segments, including Aerospace & Advanced Technologies, and Process Flow Technologies; the ability and willingness of Crane Company and Crane NXT, Co. to meet and/or perform their obligations under any contractual arrangements that were entered into among the parties in connection with the separation transaction and any of their obligations to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities; and the ability to achieve some or all the benefits that we expect to achieve from the separation transaction.
Readers should carefully review Crane’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Crane’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the other documents Crane files from time to time with the SEC.

While all financial projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, we believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of financial projections, estimates and targets in this press release should not be regarded as an indication that we or our representatives considered or consider the financial projections, estimates and targets to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Crane Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted tax rate, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking or projected basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Crane Company. Our management uses certain forward looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate projected financial and operating results. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore our non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Reconciliations of certain forward-looking and projected non-GAAP measures for Crane Company, including Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted segment margin to the closest corresponding GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, which could have a potentially significant impact on our future GAAP results. For Crane Company, these forward looking and projected non-GAAP measures are calculated as follows:
"Adjusted segment operating margin" is calculated as adjusted segment operating profit divided by segment sales. Adjusted segment operating profit is calculated as operating profit excluding corporate costs and before Special Items which include acquisition-related intangible amortization, transaction related expenses and repositioning related charges. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics. "Adjusted Tax Rate" is calculated as tax excluding the impact from items which are outside of our core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which we believe may complicate the presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings divided by "Adjusted Net Income". "Adjusted EPS" is calculated as adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income adjusted for Special Items which include transaction related expenses such as professional fees, and incremental costs related to acquisitions; repositioning related charges; acquisition-related intangible amortization and, the impact of pension non-service costs. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures adjusted for these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics. We believe that each of the following non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial conditions and operations:
"Adjusted Operating Profit" and "Adjusted Operating Margin" add back to Operating Profit items which are outside of our core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which we believe may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance. These items include income and expense such as: acquisition-related intangible amortization, transaction related expenses and repositioning related (gains) charges. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics. "Adjusted Net Income" and "Adjusted EPS" exclude items which are outside of our core performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which we believe may complicate the presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance. These measures include income and expense items that impacted Operating Profit such as: transaction related expenses and repositioning related (gains) charges. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude income and expense items that impacted Net Income and Earnings per Diluted Share such as the impact of pension non-service costs. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics. "Adjusted EBITDA" adds back to net income: net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, miscellaneous (income) expense, net, and items outside of our core performance such as transaction related expenses. "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide investors with an alternative metric that may be a meaningful indicator of our performance and provides useful information to investors regarding our financial conditions and results of operations that is complementary to GAAP metrics. “Free Cash Flow” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow from continuing operations” provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of free cash flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company’s long-term debt. Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital spending. Adjusted Free Cash Flow from continuing operations is calculated as Free Cash Flow adjusted for certain cash items which we believe may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying free cash flow performance such as certain transaction related cash flow items related to acquisitions. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future cash flows that are complementary to GAAP metrics.
On May 01, 2026, Crane Co CR shares fell 3.1% to $172.24. This decline comes amid a 52-week trading range of $159.58 to $214.31, indicating some volatility in the stock's performance.
GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $172.24 is 11.0% below the GF Value™ of $193.59.GF Score™ of 87/100 indicates a strong overall assessment of the company.Notable signal: Insiders have sold $0.5 million worth of shares in the last three months without any buying activity. Is CR Overvalued or Undervalued? Crane Co's current price of $172.24 presents an opportunity, as it is trading at a discount of 11.0% compared to the GF Value™ of $193.59. This suggests a margin of safety for potential investors, as the stock appears to be undervalued based on GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. The GF Valuation label indicates that Crane Co is considered modestly undervalued, which may entice long-term investors looking for opportunities in the industrial sector.
However, it is essential to be cautious. Although the current valuation appears attractive, potential investors should consider factors such as market conditions and company performance. The risk of overvaluation could increase if the market sentiment shifts or if the company fails to meet growth expectations.
How Does CR's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 31.0x 25.0x Forward P/E 25.7x N/A Crane Co's current P/E (TTM) of 31.0x is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 25.0x, indicating that the stock is trading at a premium compared to its historical valuation. This analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, suggesting that while the stock may be undervalued based on intrinsic value, it is currently trading at a higher multiple than in the past, which could indicate overvaluation relative to its earnings potential.
What Does CR's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 87 Financial Strength 7/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 7/10 Valuation 10/10 Momentum 7/10 The GF Score™ of 87/100 reflects a strong overall assessment of Crane Co, with particularly high marks in Valuation (10/10). Financial Strength, Profitability, Growth, and Momentum are all rated 7/10, indicating a stable performance across these dimensions. The strongest aspect is the Valuation rank, suggesting that the company may present a sound investment opportunity. However, the lack of insider buying activity could signal caution for some investors, as it may indicate a lack of confidence from those closest to the company.
What Are Insiders Doing with CR Stock? In the last three months, insiders at Crane Co have sold $0.5 million worth of shares without any reported buying activity. This trend could suggest a lack of confidence among insiders regarding the company's short-term performance or market conditions. While insider selling does not always indicate negative sentiment, it is a critical factor for investors to consider when evaluating the stock's potential and overall market perception.
What This Means for Investors Crane Co appears to be undervalued based on the GF Value™ assessment, which indicates a potential opportunity for investors. However, the elevated current P/E ratio compared to its historical median raises concerns about possible overvaluation in terms of earnings potential. Therefore, while the stock may offer intrinsic value, market dynamics and insider activity warrant careful consideration.

Please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables in prior quarter releases and in this release. Crane NXT reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EPS, free cash flow, and Adjusted free cash flow, that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior, to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking or projected basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Crane NXT. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore the Company's non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
"Special items" are items that are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics. Special items consist of:
Transaction related expenses including acquisition related expenses such as incremental professional fees associated with closing and integration of acquisitions.Acquired intangible asset amortization.Acquisition related adjustments primarily reflect purchase accounting adjustments arising from acquisitions, including fair value step‑ups (such as the amortization of acquisition‑related inventory). These adjustments include the fair value remeasurement of the Company’s equity‑method investment in Antares Vision as of the acquisition date, as well as stock‑based compensation issued to Antares Vision senior management in connection with the acquisition.
Restructuring and related costs are predominantly related to severance charges associated with the integration of the DLR and OpSec businesses, and the alignment of DTT's cost structure with existing economic conditions. These costs include formal restructuring programs as well as other discrete actions. Certain costs included in this adjustment are not reported as restructuring charges in the GAAP results due to their immateriality. Reconciliations of certain forward-looking and projected non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted segment EBITDA margin and Adjusted EPS, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, which could have a potentially significant impact on Crane NXT's future GAAP results. Crane NXT calculates Adjusted segment EBITDA margin and Adjusted EPS as described below.
"Adjusted Segment EBITDA" excludes net interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense from net income, as well as special items. "Adjusted segment EBITDA margin" is calculated as Adjusted segment EBITDA divided by sales."Adjusted EPS" is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding special items, the tax effect of these adjustments and other discrete tax items. The Company's management believes that each of the following non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial conditions and operations:
"Adjusted net income" and "Adjusted EPS" exclude special items, the tax effect of these adjustments and other discrete tax items which are outside of the Company's underlying business performance, some of which may or may not be non-recurring, and which management believes may complicate the presentation of the Company’s underlying earnings and operational performance.“Free cash flow,” “Adjusted free cash flow” and "Adjusted free cash flow conversion” provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of free cash flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company’s long-term debt. Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow adjusted for certain cash items which management believes may complicate the interpretation of the Company’s underlying free cash flow performance such as certain transaction related cash flow items. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is calculated as Adjusted free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income. These items are not incurred in all periods, the size of these items is difficult to predict, and none of these items are indicative of the operations of the underlying businesses. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future cash flows that are complementary to GAAP metrics."Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA margin" exclude net interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and special items. "Adjusted operating profit (loss)" excludes special items described above that impact operating profit. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in predicting future earnings and profitability that are complementary to GAAP metrics."Net leverage ratio" refers to Net debt divided by trailing twelve months (TTM) pro forma Adjusted EBITDA.

On May 15, 2026, Crane Co CR shares fell 4.1% to a current price of $172.19. This decline comes in the context of a 52-week range that saw a high of $214.31 and a low of $159.58.
GF Value™ verdict: shares are currently priced at $172.19, which is 11.9% below the GF Value™ of $195.45. GF Score™: 86/100 signifies a strong position relative to peers. Notable signal: insider activity shows no selling, with insiders buying $0.0M in the last 3 months. Is CR Overvalued or Undervalued? Crane Co's current price of $172.19 is below the GF Value™ of $195.45, reflecting an 11.9% margin of safety. This suggests that the stock may be undervalued, presenting a potential opportunity for investors. The GF Valuation label indicates that Crane Co is modestly undervalued. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.
While the stock appears to be undervalued based on GF Value™, investors should exercise caution. Market volatility and economic factors could affect future performance, and a margin of safety does not guarantee price recovery. Thus, while the stock might offer an attractive entry point, it is essential to consider broader market trends.
How Does CR's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 31.0x 25.3x Forward P/E 25.4x N/A The current P/E (TTM) of 31.0x is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 25.3x, indicating that the stock is trading at a premium compared to its historical valuation. However, the forward P/E of 25.4x aligns more closely with the historical trend. This P/E analysis suggests a slight contradiction to the GF Value™ verdict, indicating that while the stock may be undervalued, its current earnings multiple could imply a level of overvaluation based on historical standards.
What Does CR's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 86/100 Financial Strength 7/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 7/10 Valuation 10/10 Momentum 8/10 The GF Score™ of 86/100 highlights Crane Co's strong financial health and profitability, alongside solid growth metrics. The strongest area is the Valuation rank, which is 10/10, indicating that the stock is viewed favorably from a valuation perspective. However, the predictability is rated at only 1 star, suggesting potential volatility and uncertainty in future performance, which is the weakest area in the analysis.
What Are Insiders Doing with CR Stock? In the last three months, there has been no selling of Crane Co stock by insiders, with purchases totaling $0.0M. This inactivity suggests that insiders may be confident in the company’s prospects, as they have not opted to liquidate their holdings. The absence of selling could be interpreted positively, indicating that insiders believe the company's stock is fairly valued or undervalued at current prices.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Crane Co CR is currently undervalued with a fair value estimate of $195.45 compared to its current price of $172.19. This suggests a potential opportunity, but investors should remain cautious due to market volatility and performance predictability.

ImmunityBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX), a commercial-stage immunotherapy company, today announced an exclusive U.S. Development and Supply Agreement with Japan BCG Laboratory ("JBL"), the Tokyo-based developer and manufacturer of the Tokyo strain of BCG (Tokyo-172 BCG). The agreement provides ImmunityBio exclusive U.S. rights to develop, import, and commercialize intravesical Tokyo-172 BCG.
JBL's Tokyo strain of BCG is supported by the February 2026 positive Phase III readout of SWOG S1602, a randomized Phase III study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), which demonstrated non-inferiority of the Tokyo strain of BCG to TICE BCG in BCG-naïve high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The pre-specified non-inferiority margin was a hazard ratio of 1.34 (hazard ratio 0.82; 95.8% CI 0.63–1.08). The Tokyo strain of BCG is investigational in the United States and has not been approved by the FDA.
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong will discuss the JBL agreement and provide updates on ImmunityBio’s efforts to expand BCG access and advance research in the BCG-naïve setting during his presentation, “The Role of IL-15 in the Urological Setting,” at the American Urological Association Annual Meeting on May 16, 2026 at 1:30 EDT. The presentation will also highlight the role of IL-15 in urological oncology, including mechanisms driving T cell and natural killer (NK) cell activation, current clinical evidence, and emerging combination approaches in bladder and prostate cancer. A livestream of the presentation will be available through the 2026 AUA Annual Meeting website.
“For more than 70 years, Japan BCG Laboratory has been dedicated to the development and manufacture of high-quality BCG products,” said Seiichi Inoue, President of Japan BCG Laboratory. “We are pleased to partner with ImmunityBio to bring the Tokyo strain of BCG to patients in the United States, and we look forward to supporting ImmunityBio in its engagement with the FDA.”
ImmunityBio plans to engage with the FDA to pursue U.S. approval of the Tokyo strain of BCG and will lead all regulatory submissions, clinical development, and commercialization in the United States as the sole BLA applicant. Upon any approval, ImmunityBio will be the sole Marketing Authorization Holder. The Tokyo strain of BCG has been used in Japan for almost 30 years for the treatment of high-risk NMIBC.
SWOG S1602 (NCT03091660) is a Phase III randomized controlled trial that enrolled 1,000 patients (984 eligible) between February 2017 and December 2020 with BCG-naïve high-grade NMIBC, randomized 1:1:1 to intravesical TICE BCG (n=330), intravesical Tokyo-172 BCG (n=327), or intradermal priming, followed by intravesical Tokyo-172 BCG (n=327). The pre-specified non-inferiority margin for the primary endpoint of high-grade recurrence-free survival (HGRFS) was a hazard ratio of 1.34.
At a median follow-up of 4.6 years, results presented at the February 2026 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (Svatek RS, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2026;44[7 suppl]:LBA629) demonstrated non-inferiority of intravesical Tokyo strain of BCG versus intravesical TICE BCG on the primary endpoint of HGRFS (HR 0.82; 95.8% CI 0.63–1.08), with the upper confidence bound well below the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of HR 1.34. Complete response (CR) in carcinoma in situ (CIS) at 6 months was 66.4% (Tokyo) versus 70.2% (TICE). Progression-free survival was similar across arms. The estimated 5-year HGRFS was 64% in the Tokyo arm, 58% in the TICE arm.
ImmunityBio is in discussions with the SWOG Cancer Research Network, the NCI, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to establish a Data Use Agreement that would allow incorporation of the S1602 data into the company's planned BLA submission.
“SWOG and the National Cancer Institute have our deep respect for designing and completing SWOG S1602, a randomized controlled trial of approximately one thousand patients in BCG-naïve high-grade NMIBC that took nearly a decade to read out,” said Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., Founder, Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer of ImmunityBio. “S1602 is the kind of rigorous, publicly funded science that should inform FDA decision-making. Its non-inferiority finding for the Tokyo strain of BCG, alongside our rBCG partnership with Serum Institute and the FDA-approved use of ANKTIVA® with BCG in BCG-unresponsive disease, points to a future where U.S. patients with bladder cancer will have the supply and the treatment options they need.”
With the JBL agreement, ImmunityBio now has a second potential BCG source for the United States. The Company's ongoing partnership with Serum Institute of India, one of the world's largest vaccine manufacturers, supports the supply of recombinant BCG (rBCG), an investigational product. ImmunityBio will continue its FDA Expanded Access Program (EAP) for rBCG, so eligible patients can receive treatment while the regulatory path for the Tokyo strain of BCG moves forward. Taken together, the two partnerships aim to give U.S. urologists and their patients a more reliable BCG supply.
“U.S. urologists and their patients have lived with a chronic BCG shortage for more than a decade,” said Richard Adcock, President and Chief Executive Officer of ImmunityBio. “This agreement with Japan BCG Laboratory for the Tokyo strain of BCG gives ImmunityBio a second potential BCG source for the United States. We plan to work with the FDA on the regulatory path for the Tokyo strain of BCG. In the meantime, through our ongoing partnership with the Serum Institute of India, rBCG remains available to eligible patients through our FDA Expanded Access Program."
ANKTIVA is approved by the FDA in combination with BCG for the treatment of adult patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in-situ (CIS), with or without papillary tumors. ImmunityBio expects to provide further updates on the U.S. regulatory pathway for the Tokyo strain of BCG, including the timing of pre-FDA interactions and any anticipated BLA submission, in future communications.
Important Safety Information
U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
INDICATION AND USAGE: ANKTIVA® is an interleukin-15 (IL-15) receptor agonist indicated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for the treatment of adult patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: Risk of Metastatic Bladder Cancer with Delayed Cystectomy. Delaying cystectomy can lead to the development of muscle-invasive or metastatic bladder cancer, which can be lethal. If patients with CIS do not have a complete response to treatment after a second induction course of ANKTIVA® with BCG, reconsider cystectomy.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: For Intravesical Use Only. Do not administer by subcutaneous or intravenous routes. Please see the complete Indication and Important Safety Information and Prescribing Information for ANKTIVA® at Anktiva.com.

Investors in Crane Company (CR - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the June 18, 2026 $150.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Crane Company shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Crane Company is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Manufacturing - General Industrial industry that ranks in the Top 33% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, two analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from $1.58 per share to $1.65 in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Crane Company right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
