FTV Fortive
FMP Stock News
Original source text
EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fortive Corporation (“Fortive”) (NYSE: FTV) announced today that its Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of Fortive’s common stock authorized under its general share repurchase program (the “General Share Repurchase Program”), with the total number of shares remaining available for repurchase under the General Share Repurchase Program following such increase equal to 20 million shares, including shares that were available prior to such increase.

The shares available for repurchase under the General Share Repurchase Program are in addition to approximately $66.7 million available under the $550 million special purpose share repurchase program previously adopted by Fortive’s Board of Directors under which Fortive may repurchase shares of Fortive common stock exclusively from the proceeds of the cash dividend and any other cash received by Fortive from Ralliant Corporation in connection with the separation of Ralliant completed on June 28, 2025.

Under the share repurchase programs, Fortive may purchase its common stock on a discretionary basis from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including through the use of trading plans that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The timing and amount of common stock repurchases made under the share repurchase programs will be determined by Fortive’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase programs have no expiration date and do not obligate Fortive to acquire any particular amount of shares, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

New Fluke FEV500 Redefines Testing for Fast DC Electric Vehicle Chargers, Eliminating Costly Downtime
FTV Fortive
FMP Stock News
Original source text
As one in five charging stations sits offline, Fluke’s new FEV500 acts as a “virtual EV,” combining safety, communication, and interoperability checks in one tool - bringing data-driven reliability to the world’s fastest-growing charging segment May 12, 2026 08:30 ET  | Source: Fluke Corporation

Everett, Washington, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluke Corporation today announced the launch of the Fluke FEV500, an all-in-one testing solution designed specifically for fast DC Level 3 EV charging stations. Unlike traditional AC chargers, these high-powered stations operate at extreme energy levels and rely on complex digital communication protocols, making safety, reliability, and uptime critical concerns for operators.

The FEV500 acts like a virtual electric vehicle, enabling technicians in the field to quickly perform comprehensive safety and operability tests on-site without the cost, complexity, or uncertainty of using an actual EV, helping ensure charging stations remain safe and importantly fully operational.

“With the FEV500, Fluke is redefining how fast DC EV charging stations are tested and maintained,” said Theo Brillhart, Technology Director, R&D at Fluke Corporation. “Fast DC charging is the backbone of the EV transition but the truth is, reliability is still the industry’s weakest link. We built the FEV500 to close that gap. It replaces uncertainty with insight and turns testing from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage. If the EV industry wants to scale, it starts with trust and trust starts with reliability.

One in five charging stations in the U.S. is not operational*, indicating an urgent need to improve the nation’s charging network. For fleet operators, downtime can be costly, and for consumers, reliability is critical. The FEV500 makes testing more efficient by replacing the need for multiple tools – including a digital multimeter, insulation tester, and oscilloscope – while also providing technicians with guided instructions on critical testing criteria.

Key features of the FEV500 include:

One-Tool Testing: The tool combines performance, interoperability, and safety checks in a single device. The FEV500 is designed to meet ISO 15118 and DIN SPEC70121 international standards for digital communication between electric vehicles and electric vehicle supply equipment. EV Simulation: The FEV500 tests the charging infrastructure without requiring an external power source. It can also simulate real-world charging and communication scenarios to validate interoperability and performance. Best Practice Standardization: The tool provides actionable data for regulatory compliance, maintenance planning, and performance forecasting. It delivers fast PASS/FAIL results with guided workflows, so technicians have access to best practices for commissioning, maintaining, and troubleshooting a fast DC station without the need for advanced training.User-Friendly Interface: Technicians can avoid the need for manual input, as the tool has an intuitive auto-test feature, and test data is input directly to the device. The FEV500 is also portable and provides clear guidance on what to test, even for complex fast DC stations. Time-Saving: Fleet operators and technicians can troubleshoot without needing to open the charging station, avoiding costly downtime. All tests can be conducted through a single connection point, with no disassembly required. Built for field service technicians who are constantly on the move, the FEV500 features a rugged wheeled chassis for easy transport between depots and sites, along with a removable battery that makes it convenient for air travel. Backed by Fluke’s trusted accuracy, the FEV500’s dependable insights give commercial and fleet teams the confidence to keep EV stations running and able to power an always-on, energy-driven world.

Earnings Preview: Mosaic (MOS) Q1 Earnings Expected to Decline
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The market expects Mosaic (MOS - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 11, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

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

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis fertilizer maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.20 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -59.2%.

Revenues are expected to be $2.75 billion, up 4.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 10% 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 Mosaic?For Mosaic, 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 -7.50%.

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

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Mosaic 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 Mosaic would post earnings of $0.48 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.22, delivering a surprise of -54.17%.

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

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

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

Mosaic 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 ResultsCF Industries (CF - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Fertilizers industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $2.35 for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +27%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $1.77 billion, up 6.2% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for CF has been revised 29% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.07%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy), this Earnings ESP indicates that CF will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Key Takeaways Mosaic set to report Q1 2026 results on May 11, with revenues seen up 4.9% year over year.MOS benefits from strong fertilizer demand, higher prices and cost-cut actions.Mosaic faces margin pressure from rising sulfur costs and expects up to $400M in pre-tax charges. The Mosaic Company (MOS - Free Report) is set to release first-quarter 2026 results before the opening bell on May 11.

Mosaic beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in two of the trailing four quarters, and missed it twice.

The company is expected to have benefited from favorable demand for phosphate and potash, higher fertilizer prices and actions to improve its cost structure in the first quarter amid headwinds from input cost inflation.

What Do MOS’ Revenue Estimates Say?The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter consolidated revenues for MOS is currently pegged at $2,749.3 million, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 4.9%.

Factors at Play for MOS StockStrong demand for fertilizers is expected to have aided Mosaic’s volumes in the first quarter. Attractive farm economics continue to drive demand for fertilizers globally. Farmer economics remain favorable in most global growing regions due to strong crop demand and affordable inputs. The phosphate market is benefiting from higher global demand and low producer and channel inventories. Demand for grains and oilseeds remains high globally. Improved farmer affordability is also driving demand for fertilizers.

Our estimate for consolidated sales volumes for the first quarter is 6.1 million tons, suggesting a 5% year over year rise.

MOS’s actions to improve its operating cost structure through transformation plans are also expected to have aided its profitability. Mosaic remains on track with its cost-reduction plan, which is expected to drive $250 million in run-rate cost reductions by the end of 2026, having already achieved $150 million in cost reduction targets in 2025, mostly in Fertilizantes. The additional cost reductions are expected to be realized through optimization of the supply chain, automation of administrative functions, absorption of fixed costs and operational cost cuts.

Higher fertilizer prices are also expected to have supported the company’s first-quarter performance. Strong demand and supply tightness have led to an uptick in fertilizer prices, with phosphate prices seeing a notable increase. Prices were driven by solid agricultural demand in major markets, China’s export restrictions, U.S. tariffs and higher costs of inputs. The upward momentum in fertilizer prices continues this year.

Our estimate for the average selling price for the Phosphate unit is pegged at $653 per ton, indicating a 3.3% year over year increase. The same for the Potash unit stands at $260 per ton, suggesting an 11% year over year rise.

Mosaic uses sulfur and ammonia as key inputs for the production of phosphate. Supply disruptions contributed to the rise in prices of both sulfur and ammonia last year. Plant shutdowns and maintenance led to a tight supply of these raw materials, which, coupled with strong demand, pushed up their prices. Higher raw material costs led to an increase in the company’s production costs.

The impacts of raw material inflation are likely to reflect in the company’s margins in the first quarter. MOS has witnessed a sharp increase in sulfur price since late 2025, which is expected to have weighed on phosphate margins in the first quarter.

Mosaic, last month, announced that it will idle its Araxa Mining and Chemical Complex and suspend mining operations at the Patrocínio Complex in Brazil as part of a strategic effort to streamline operations and improve cost efficiency.  The company expects these actions to reduce its annual phosphate production at Mosaic Fertilizantes by approximately 1 million tons, reflecting a meaningful decline in Brazilian output. Mosaic intends to pursue the sale of its Araxa assets, signaling a broader portfolio optimization strategy focused on higher-return operations.

 The company anticipates a pre-tax charge of $350-$400 million for the first quarter of 2026, including $275 million to $300 million in asset impairments and the remainder related to severance and contract termination costs. Some impacts of these charges are expected to reflect on MOS’s first-quarter results.

In its upcoming report, Mosaic (MOS - Free Report) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $0.20 per share, reflecting a decline of 59.2% compared to the same period last year. Revenues are forecasted to be $2.75 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 4.9%.

Over the past 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been adjusted downward by 10% to its current level. This demonstrates the covering analysts' collective reassessment of their initial projections during this period.

Before a company announces its earnings, it is essential to take into account any changes made to earnings estimates. This is a valuable factor in predicting the potential reactions of investors toward the stock. Empirical research has consistently shown a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.

While investors typically rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to gauge how the business may have fared during the quarter, examining analysts' projections for some of the company's key metrics often helps gain a deeper insight.

In light of this perspective, let's dive into the average estimates of certain Mosaic metrics that are commonly tracked and forecasted by Wall Street analysts.

Analysts forecast 'Net Sales- Potash' to reach $603.33 million. The estimate indicates a change of +5.9% from the prior-year quarter.

The average prediction of analysts places 'Mosaic Fertilizantes - Sales volumes - Total Finished Product' at 1757 thousands of tons. Compared to the current estimate, the company reported 1847 thousands of tons in the same quarter of the previous year.

The consensus estimate for 'Potash - Average finished product selling price (destination)' stands at $267.24 . The estimate compares to the year-ago value of $234.00 .

The consensus among analysts is that 'Phosphates - Sales volumes - Total Finished Product' will reach 1770 thousands of tons. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 1498 thousands of tons in the same quarter last year.

The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated 'Potash - Sales volumes - Total Finished Product' of 2112 thousands of tons. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 2113 thousands of tons in the same quarter last year.

Based on the collective assessment of analysts, 'Mosaic Fertilizantes - Average finished product selling price (destination)' should arrive at $481.33 . The estimate compares to the year-ago value of $452.00 .

It is projected by analysts that the 'Phosphates - Sales volumes - DAP/MAP' will reach 978 thousands of tons. Compared to the current estimate, the company reported 846 thousands of tons in the same quarter of the previous year.

According to the collective judgment of analysts, 'Phosphates - Sales volumes - Performance & other products' should come in at 703 thousands of tons. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 652 thousands of tons in the same quarter last year.

Analysts expect 'Phosphates - Average finished product selling price (destination)' to come in at $661.17 . The estimate compares to the year-ago value of $632.00 .

How To Earn $500 A Month From Mosaic Stock Ahead Of Q1 Earnings
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) will release earnings for its first quarter before the opening bell on Monday, May 11.

Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings of 22 cents per share, down from 49 cents per share in the year-ago period. The consensus estimate for Mosaic's quarterly revenue is $2.9 billion (it reported $2.62 billion last year), according to Benzinga Pro.

Ahead of quarterly earnings, CIBC analyst Hamir Patel, on April 30, maintained a Neutral rating on Mosaic and lowered the price target from $32 to $27.

With the recent buzz around Mosaic, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Mosaic has an annual dividend yield of 3.84%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 22 cents per share (88 cents a year).  

So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?

To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $156,200 or around 6,818 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $31,249 or around 1,364 shares.

To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($0.88 in this case). So, $6,000 / $0.88 = 6,818 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $0.88 = 1,364 shares ($100 per month).

Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.

How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock’s current price.

For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).

Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.

MOS Price Action: Shares of Mosaic fell 2.8% to close at $22.91 on Thursday.

Mosaic (MOS) Q1 Earnings Miss Estimates
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Mosaic (MOS - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.2 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.49 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -75.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this fertilizer maker would post earnings of $0.48 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.22, delivering a surprise of -54.17%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.

Mosaic, which belongs to the Zacks Fertilizers industry, posted revenues of $3 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9.04%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.62 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.

Mosaic shares have lost about 7.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.1%.

What's Next for Mosaic?While Mosaic 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 Mosaic 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 $0.23 on $3.16 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.56 on $12.79 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, Fertilizers is currently in the top 15% 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, ICL Group (ICL - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 13.

This potash and fertilizer producer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.10 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +11.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

ICL Group's revenues are expected to be $1.83 billion, up 3.9% from the year-ago quarter.

MOS Q1 Earnings Lag Estimates on Higher Input Costs, Sales Up Y/Y
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways MOS Q1 adjusted EPS fell 90% Y/Y to 5 cents, missing estimates despite higher sales.Mosaic's phosphate margin dropped to $2 per ton as raw material costs surged.MOS cut 2026 capex guidance by $250M while reaffirming potash production outlook. The Mosaic Company (MOS - Free Report) posted first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 5 cents per share, down 89.8% from 49 cents a year ago. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 20 cents by 75%.

Net sales rose 14.4% year over year to $2,998 million and beat the consensus estimate of $2,749.3 million by 9%. Results reflected volatile fertilizer and raw material markets.

MOS' Segment HighlightsMOS’ Phosphate segment generated net sales of $1.4 billion in the quarter, up from $1.1 billion a year ago. Sales volumes increased to 1.9 million tons from 1.5 million tons, in line with our estimate of 1.9 million tons. Gross margin fell sharply to $2 per ton from $111 per ton, as higher raw material costs overwhelmed the benefit of better volumes. The average DAP selling price was $668 per ton versus $623 per ton in the year-ago quarter.

The Potash segment delivered net sales of $667 million, up from $570 million a year ago. Sales volumes were 2.2 million tons compared with 2.1 million tons in the prior-year period. The figure beat our estimate of 2.1 million tons. Gross margin improved to $88 per ton from $80 per ton. Higher realized prices more than offset a higher cost environment. The average MOP selling price rose to $265 per ton from $223 per ton.

Mosaic Fertilizantes posted net sales of $937 million, essentially flat with $934 million a year ago. Sales volumes declined to 1.6 million tons from 1.8 million tons, while gross margin compressed to $22 per ton from $69 per ton. The average finished product selling price increased to $527 per ton from $452 per ton. The company said the decision to idle operations at Araxa and Patrocinio resulted in charges totaling $442 million, which drove the reported loss in the quarter. The ongoing credit constraints in Brazil were also flagged as a headwind to distribution margins.

MOS' FinancialsMosaic ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $281.8 million, compared with $276.6 million at the end of 2025. Long-term debt (net of current maturities) was $4,271.1 million versus $4,250.9 million at the end of 2025.

Cash flow from operating activities was $104.2 million in the first quarter, up from $42.9 million a year ago, aided by improved working capital dynamics. Capital expenditures were $356.8 million, and free cash flow was negative $252.6 million, consistent with typical first-quarter seasonality.

Mosaic paid a regular dividend of 22 cents per share in the quarter.

MOS 2026 OutlookFor 2026, Mosaic reduced capital expenditure guidance by $250 million to $1.25 billion and maintained its potash production outlook of about 9 million tons. For the second quarter, phosphate sales volumes are expected to be 1.4 to 1.7 million tons with DAP prices of $760 to $780 per ton, while potash sales volumes are projected to be 1.9 to 2.1 million tons with MOP prices of $260 to $280 per ton. Management also reaffirmed key annual guideposts, including SG&A expense of $520 to $540 million, net interest expense of $200 to $220 million, and cash taxes of $275 to $325 million.

MOS’ Price PerformanceMosaic’s shares have lost 32.7% in the past year compared with the Zacks Fertilizers industry’s 10.3% rise.

Mosaic Analysts Slash Their Forecasts After Q1 Earnings
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) on Monday reported mixed first-quarter results.

The company posted adjusted earnings per share of five cents, below analyst expectations of 24 cents. Revenue of $2.998 billion came slightly ahead of the $2.897 billion consensus estimate.

The company continues to project roughly 9 million tonnes of potash production in 2026, supported by strong output at Esterhazy, which is expected to offset the impact of the Carlsbad divestiture.

Mosiac sees second-quarter potash sales volumes of 1.9–2.1 million tonnes, with realized mine-gate MOP pricing projected at $260–$280 per tonne.

Mosaic shares gained 2.4% to trade at $22.32 on Tuesday.

These analysts made changes to their price targets on Mosaic following earnings announcement.

Mizuho analyst Christopher Parkinson maintained Mosaic with a Neutral and lowered the price target from $27 to $24. JP Morgan analyst Jeffrey Zekaukas maintained the stock with an Underweight rating and cut the price target from $24 to $19. Considering buying MOS stock? Here’s what analysts think:

Mosaic: A Fleeting Geopolitical Crisis Creates A Buying Opportunity
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The Mosaic Company is positioned to recapture its post-crisis share price as the crisis is likely to end. Fertilizer prices, especially for phosphate and potash, are surging due to supply chain bottlenecks and raw material shortages. MOS management is proactively cutting CapEx by $250M, selling mines, and optimizing capital allocation to weather near-term challenges.

The 30-Year Treasury Just Crossed 5%. Here Are 2 Hard Asset Stocks Under $40 Built for What Comes Next
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Long bonds are doing something they have not done in years: pricing real risk. With the 10-year Treasury at 4.67% and the 20- and 30-year already above 5%, capital is rotating out of duration-sensitive growth and into companies that actually make stuff out of the ground. That backdrop favors value cyclicals: energy producers, miners, and fertilizer names with hard assets, real cash flow, and pricing power tied to physical commodities. For retail investors, the screen gets interesting under $40, where a few classic cyclical names still trade at depressed multiples despite improving fundamentals.

Of the five tickers in focus for this rotation theme (CNX, FCX, MOS, HCC, and E), only two currently clear the $40 ceiling. Here is what the data says about them.

CNX Resources (NYSE: CNX) CNX Resources (NYSE:CNX | CNX Price Prediction) is an Appalachian Basin natural gas producer focused on the Marcellus and Utica shales. Shares last traded at $37.37, which keeps the name inside the under-$40 value bucket even after a 15.13% one-year gain.

The fundamentals are doing the heavy lifting. CNX reported Q1 2026 EPS of $2.18 against a $0.97 consensus on revenue of $786.65 million, up 28.84% year over year. Free cash flow came in at $139 million, and management still guides to roughly $525 million of full-year free cash flow. The stock trades at a trailing P/E of 5 and an EV/EBITDA of 3, with an analyst target price of $39. The bull case is clean: 81% of 2026 gas is hedged, the Apex Energy acquisition added about 23,000 Utica acres, and management spent $54 million on buybacks in the quarter.

The risk is gas itself. Henry Hub spot recently sat near $2.82/MMBtu, well below CNX’s $3.64/MMBtu forward assumption, and the company already flagged around $193 million in projected 2026 realized hedging losses. Even so, the cash flow profile and valuation give this one a margin of safety that most cyclicals at this point in the cycle simply do not offer.

Mosaic (NYSE: MOS) Mosaic (NYSE:MOS) mines phosphate and potash and runs a large Brazil fertilizer distribution arm. Shares trade at $21.40, down 37.62% over the past year, which puts the stock well below its book value of $38.07 and at a price-to-book of 0.59.

The most recent quarter was ugly. Mosaic posted Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.05, missing the $0.22 consensus by 77.13%, with a GAAP net loss of $257.6 million. The culprit was a $280 million year-over-year spike in raw material costs, with sulfur prices breaching $1,200 per tonne. Management responded by curtailing production, cutting capex guidance to $1.25 billion, and launching a $50 million annualized cost-savings program.

The bull case rests on pricing tailwinds finally feeding through. Q2 phosphate is guided at $760 to $780 per tonne, the highest level in the recent earnings record, and both China and Brazil set Q1 potash import records. The analyst target sits at $27.22, and the 4.04% dividend yield pays investors to wait. CEO Bruce Bodine said the company is positioned to “benefit when market dynamics improve.”

The risk is straightforward: if sulfur stays elevated and Brazil credit conditions tighten further, the recovery slips into 2027. Mosaic is a leveraged play on fertilizer margin normalization, not a stable compounder.

The bottom line CNX offers cash flow and capital returns at a low multiple, while Mosaic is a deeper-cyclical bet on commodity normalization. Both fit the rotation narrative as long-bond yields march toward 5%, but each carries commodity risk that can override the macro setup. Investors should do their own work on hedging schedules, raw material inputs, and capital allocation before treating either as a bargain.

Mosaic: A Buy On Recent Share Price Dip And Positive External Fundamentals (Rating Upgrade)
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Mosaic Company (MOS) is rated a buy as current fertilizer shortages and lower demand create a near-term buying opportunity ahead of expected market normalization. MOS faces several weak quarters potentially, due to reduced potash and phosphate demand, but I anticipate a rebound as fertilizer supplies recover and planting activity resumes. Despite a Q1 net loss of $258 million and ongoing profitability challenges, MOS maintains manageable debt and interest expenses, supporting long-term viability.

This presents a margin of safety of approximately 26.9%, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued at its current price point.

Mosaic (MOS) Down 5% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Rebound?
MOS The Mosaic Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Mosaic (MOS - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 5% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Mosaic due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.

Mosaic's Q1 Earnings Lag Estimates on Higher Input Costs, Sales Up Y/YMosaic posted first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 5 cents per share, down 89.8% from 49 cents a year ago. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 20 cents by 75%.

Net sales rose 14.4% year over year to roughly $3 billion and beat the consensus estimate of $2.75 billion by 9%. Results reflected volatile fertilizer and raw material markets.

Segment HighlightsThe Phosphate segment generated net sales of $1.4 billion in the quarter, up from $1.1 billion a year ago. Sales volumes increased to 1.9 million tons from 1.5 million tons, in line with our estimate of 1.9 million tons. Gross margin fell sharply to $2 per ton from $111 per ton, as higher raw material costs overwhelmed the benefit of better volumes. The average DAP selling price was $668 per ton versus $623 per ton in the year-ago quarter.

The Potash segment delivered net sales of $667 million, up from $570 million a year ago. Sales volumes were 2.2 million tons compared with 2.1 million tons in the prior-year period. The figure beat our estimate of 2.1 million tons. Gross margin improved to $88 per ton from $80 per ton. Higher realized prices more than offset a higher cost environment. The average MOP selling price rose to $265 per ton from $223 per ton.

Mosaic Fertilizantes posted net sales of $937 million, essentially flat with $934 million a year ago. Sales volumes declined to 1.6 million tons from 1.8 million tons, while gross margin compressed to $22 per ton from $69 per ton. The average finished product selling price increased to $527 per ton from $452 per ton. The company said the decision to idle operations at Araxa and Patrocinio resulted in charges totaling $442 million, which drove the reported loss in the quarter. The ongoing credit constraints in Brazil were also flagged as a headwind to distribution margins.

FinancialsMosaic ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $281.8 million, compared with $276.6 million at the end of 2025. Long-term debt (net of current maturities) was $4.27 billion versus $4.25 billion at the end of 2025.

Cash flow from operating activities was $104.2 million in the first quarter, up from $42.9 million a year ago, aided by improved working capital dynamics. Capital expenditures were $356.8 million, and free cash flow was negative $252.6 million, consistent with typical first-quarter seasonality.

Mosaic paid a regular dividend of 22 cents per share in the quarter.

OutlookFor 2026, Mosaic reduced capital expenditure guidance by $250 million to $1.25 billion and maintained its potash production outlook of about 9 million tons. For the second quarter, phosphate sales volumes are expected to be 1.4 to 1.7 million tons with DAP prices of $760 to $780 per ton, while potash sales volumes are projected to be 1.9 to 2.1 million tons with MOP prices of $260 to $280 per ton. Management also reaffirmed key annual guideposts, including SG&A expense of $520 to $540 million, net interest expense of $200 to $220 million, and cash taxes of $275 to $325 million.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in fresh estimates.

The consensus estimate has shifted -52.22% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresCurrently, Mosaic has a subpar Growth Score of D, a score with the same score on the momentum front. However, the stock was allocated a score of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for value investors.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Mosaic has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

Returning Partner to Mission Housing Provides $78M in Construction Financing and Tax Credit Equity for 136-Unit Permanent Supportive Housing Development at 16th and Mission

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Western Alliance Bank (NYSE: WAL) is providing $77.9 million in construction financing and Low Income Housing Tax Credit equity for The Marvel in the Mission, the largest affordable housing development in San Francisco’s Mission District. The 136‑unit permanent supportive housing community will serve low‑income families and formerly unhoused residents at the intersection of 16th and Mission streets.

Western Alliance Bank is providing $78 million in construction financing and tax credit equity for The Marvel in the Mission, a 136-unit permanent supportive housing development at 16th and Mission.

Share Western Alliance will join Mission Housing Development Corporation, the Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA) and community leaders on April 23 for a groundbreaking ceremony marking the start of construction on Phase 1 at 1979 Mission Street, steps from the 16th Street BART Plaza.

The Marvel in the Mission addresses San Francisco’s ongoing shortage of affordable housing and supportive services for residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Phase 1 will deliver 136 units for households earning 30% to 50% of area median income. When fully complete, the multi-building development will provide nearly 400 deeply affordable homes across the Mission district.

Permanent supportive housing, which combines long-term affordable housing with on-site services, will be delivered by Mission Housing and Lutheran Social Services to support resident stability.

Western Alliance Bank’s Financing Role

Western Alliance Bank’s Affordable Housing Finance Group is providing a $56.3 million tax-exempt construction loan, which will convert to a $5.6 million permanent loan at stabilization. The bank is also investing $21.6 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity, representing 49% of the project’s total equity, through the SFMH Club Fund.

“Sixteenth and Mission is one of the most storied intersections in San Francisco, and one of the most in need,” said Mieke Holkeboer, Director, Affordable Housing Finance, Western Alliance Bank. “Mission Housing and MEDA have designed a community that offers more than housing. It offers stability, dignity and support. It has been a privilege to work alongside this team on a project that will have a lasting impact in the Mission.”

The Marvel in the Mission marks a return partnership for Western Alliance Bank and Mission Housing, following their Scattered Sites project, which renovated 69 public housing units across five San Francisco buildings. That project reinforced a shared commitment to doing complex, community-driven deals that go beyond the typical. With The Marvel in the Mission, Western Alliance serves as both senior lender and, through a partnership with LIHTC syndicator Merritt Community Capital Corporation, as the project’s largest equity participant.

“The Marvel in the Mission is a historic development that required true financial partners and community allies, not just banks who present themselves as such in order to underwrite a deal,” said The Marvel’s co-developers Mission Housing and Mission Economic Development Agency. “We’re very fortunate to have found these partners. They all truly care about the future and well-being of our neighborhood and the people who will live here in the future. The Marvel in the Mission would not have been built without them so we’re truly grateful for their partnership and commitment to our communities.”

The project also reflects Western Alliance Bank’s expanding presence in San Francisco. The bank recently opened a full‑service banking office at 201 Montgomery St. in the Financial District, reinforcing its long‑term commitment to the city.

“Western Alliance Bank is continuing to invest in San Francisco in a meaningful and sustained way from affordable housing to our growing local banking presence,” said Philipp Smaczny, Senior Managing Director, Affordable Housing Finance, Western Alliance Bank. “The Marvel in the Mission reflects the role we aim to play, bringing capital, expertise and trusted partnerships together to deliver outcomes that strengthen communities.”

Construction is underway, with completion expected in December 2027 and leasing anticipated to begin in March 2027. Future phases will include 134 units of family housing on Mission Street and 121 units on Capp Street. Additional project details and information on The Marvel in the Mission and the April 23 groundbreaking are available at www.1979missionsf.com.

Earnings Preview: Western Alliance (WAL) Q1 Earnings Expected to Decline
WAL Western Alliance Bancorporation
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Western Alliance (WAL - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 21, 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 bank holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.48 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -17.3%.

Revenues are expected to be $959.46 million, up 21.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.95% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

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

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

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

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

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

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

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

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Western Alliance?For Western Alliance, 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 -6.71%.

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

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

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

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Western Alliance would post earnings of $2.4 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.59, delivering a surprise of +7.92%.

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.

Western Alliance 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.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAnother stock from the Zacks Banks - West industry, WaFd (WAFD - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.74 per share for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +13.9%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $190.66 million, up 6.1% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for WaFd has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.45%.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that WaFd will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

WAL Western Alliance Bancorporation
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Analysts on Wall Street project that Western Alliance (WAL - Free Report) will announce quarterly earnings of $1.48 per share in its forthcoming report, representing a decline of 17.3% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $959.46 million, increasing 21.7% from the same quarter last year.

Over the last 30 days, there has been an upward revision of 1.9% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter, leading to its current level. This signifies the covering analysts' collective reconsideration of their initial forecasts over the course of this timeframe.

Prior to a company's earnings announcement, it is crucial to consider revisions to earnings estimates. This serves as a significant indicator for predicting potential investor actions regarding the stock. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated a robust correlation between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.

While it's common for investors to rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates for assessing how the business may have performed during the quarter, exploring analysts' forecasts for key metrics can yield valuable insights.

Income Statement

The Company's first quarter 2026 financial results reflect the impact to provision for credit losses, arising from the charge-off of the remaining $126.4 million balance of the LAM loan. This impact was partially offset by $50.5 million in gains from security sales for the quarter. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of these actions, refer to the reconciliations.

Net interest income totaled $766.3 million in the first quarter 2026, which was relatively flat from $766.2 million in the fourth quarter 2025, but represented an increase of $115.7 million, or 17.8%, compared to the first quarter 2025. The slight increase in net interest income from the fourth quarter 2025 was primarily due to lower deposit and borrowing costs and an increase in average interest bearing assets, which were largely offset by declining yields on interest earning assets. The increase in net interest income from the first quarter 2025 was driven by an increase in average interest earning asset balances and lower rates on interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities balances and declining yields on interest earning assets.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $213.2 million in the first quarter 2026, an increase of $140.2 million from $73.0 million in the fourth quarter 2025, and an increase of $182.0 million from $31.2 million in the first quarter 2025. The provision for credit losses during the first quarter 2026 was primarily driven by higher net charge-offs totaling $208.5 million, which included a charge-off of $126.4 million for the remaining balance of the LAM loan and a $26.1 million charge-off from the specific reserve previously established on the Cantor loan.

The Company’s net interest margin was 3.54% in the first quarter 2026, an increase from 3.51% in the fourth quarter 2025, and an increase from 3.47% in the first quarter 2025. Net interest margin increased from the fourth quarter 2025 due to lower rates on deposits and short-term borrowings, partially offset by declining yields on interest earning assets. The increase in net interest margin from the first quarter 2025 was primarily driven by a reduction in interest bearing liability costs resulting from a lower rate environment, partially offset by declining yields on interest earning assets.

Non-interest income was $252.6 million for the first quarter 2026, compared to $214.7 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and $127.4 million for the first quarter 2025. The increase in non-interest income of $37.9 million from the fourth quarter 2025 was primarily due to increases in gain on sales of investment securities of $43.1 million and service charges and fees of $14.9 million, partially offset by a lower net gain on mortgage loan origination and sale activities of $18.4 million. The increase in non-interest income of $125.2 million from the first quarter 2025 was primarily driven by increases in gain on sales of investment securities, service charges and fees, net gain on mortgage loan origination and sale activities, and income from equity investments. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net loan servicing revenue.

Net revenue totaled $1.0 billion for the first quarter 2026, an increase of $38.0 million, or 3.9%, compared to $980.9 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and an increase of $240.9 million, or 31.0%, compared to $778.0 million for the first quarter 2025.

Non-interest expense was $574.4 million for the first quarter 2026, compared to $552.2 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and $500.4 million for the first quarter 2025. The increase in non-interest expense of $22.2 million from the fourth quarter 2025 was primarily due to an increase of $21.2 million in other non-interest expense and $7.0 million in insurance costs. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily driven by costs associated with Juris banking, which had comparable growth in service charges and fees within non-interest income, as well as OREO-related charges. Insurance costs increased primarily due to a reduction in the FDIC special assessment recognized in the fourth quarter 2025. These increases were partially offset by a $7.9 million reduction in deposit costs. The increase in non-interest expense of $74.0 million from the first quarter 2025 was primarily attributable to increased deposit costs of $26.5 million, increased salaries and employee benefits of $23.1 million, and a $19.4 million increase in other non-interest expense largely related to Juris banking. These increases were partially offset by decreased insurance costs of $13.2 million. The Company's efficiency ratio was 55.8% for the first quarter 2026, compared to 55.7% for the fourth quarter 2025, and 63.5% for the first quarter 2025. The Company’s efficiency ratio, adjusted for deposit costs1, was 47.5% for the first quarter 2026, compared to 46.5% in the fourth quarter 2025, and 55.8% for the first quarter 2025.

Income tax expense was $42.1 million for the first quarter 2026, compared to $62.5 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and $47.3 million for the first quarter 2025. The decrease in income tax expense from the fourth quarter 2025 and the first quarter 2025 was primarily driven by lower pre-tax income.

Net income was $189.2 million (or $251.3 million, as adjusted1) for the first quarter 2026, a decrease of $104.0 million from $293.2 million for the fourth quarter 2025, and a decrease of $9.9 million from $199.1 million for the first quarter 2025. Earnings per share totaled $1.65 (or $2.22, as adjusted1) for the first quarter 2026, compared to $2.59 for the fourth quarter 2025, and $1.79 for the first quarter 2025.

The Company believes its pre-provision net revenue1 ("PPNR") is a key metric for assessing the Company’s earnings power, which it defines as net revenue less non-interest expense. For the first quarter 2026, the Company’s PPNR1 was $444.5 million, up $15.8 million from $428.7 million in the fourth quarter 2025, and up $166.9 million from $277.6 million in the first quarter 2025.

Balance Sheet

HFI loans, net of deferred fees, totaled $59.1 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $58.7 billion at December 31, 2025, and $54.8 billion at March 31, 2025. The increase in HFI loans of $465 million from the prior quarter was primarily driven by increases of $295 million and $113 million in commercial and industrial loans and residential real estate loans, respectively. The increase in HFI loans of $4.4 billion from March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increases of $4.1 billion, $490 million, and $304 million in commercial and industrial, residential real estate, and commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $424 million in construction and land development loans. HFS loans totaled $3.9 billion at March 31, 2026, $3.5 billion at December 31, 2025, and $3.2 billion at March 31, 2025. The increase in HFS loans of $438 million from December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increases of $345 million and $113 million in government-insured or guaranteed and agency-conforming mortgage loans, respectively. The increase in HFS loans of $698 million from March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increases of $689 million and $110 million in government-insured or guaranteed and non-agency mortgage loans, respectively, partially offset by a $167 million decrease in agency-conforming mortgage loans.

The Company's allowance for credit losses on HFI loans consists of an allowance for funded HFI loans and an allowance for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan losses to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.78% at both at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and 0.71% , and March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for unfunded loan commitments, to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.87% at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and 0.77% at March 31, 2025. The Company is a party to credit linked note transactions which effectively transfer a portion of the risk of losses on reference pools of loans to the purchasers of the notes. The Company is protected from first credit losses on reference pools of loans totaling $7.9 billion, $8.1 billion, and $8.5 billion as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively, under these transactions. However, as these note transactions are considered to be free standing credit enhancements, the allowance for credit losses cannot be reduced by the expected credit losses that may be mitigated by these notes. Accordingly, the allowance for loan and credit losses ratios include an allowance related to these pools of loans of $11.2 million as of March 31, 2026, $11.8 million as of December 31, 2025, and $11.9 million as of March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses to funded HFI loans ratio, adjusted to reduce the HFI loan balance by the amount of loans in covered reference pools, was 1.00% at March 31, 2026, 1.01% at December 31, 2025, and 0.92% at March 31, 2025.

Deposits totaled $82.7 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $5.6 billion from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $13.4 billion from $69.3 billion at March 31, 2025. By deposit type, the increase from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to increases of $3.7 billion, $969 million, and $828 million from non-interest bearing deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits and savings and money market accounts, respectively. From March 31, 2025, non-interest bearing deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, and savings and money market accounts increased $6.1 billion, $3.9 billion, and $3.7 billion, respectively. Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $28.1 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $24.4 billion at December 31, 2025, and $22.0 billion at March 31, 2025.

In addition, the Company repurchased 0.7 million shares for $50.0 million during the first quarter of 2026 under the Company's $300 million share repurchase program.

Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest totaled $56 million at March 31, 2026, $66 million at December 31, 2025, and $44 million at March 31, 2025 (excluding government guaranteed loans of $288 million, $290 million, and $275 million, respectively).

Western Alliance (WAL) Surpasses Q1 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
WAL Western Alliance Bancorporation
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Western Alliance (WAL - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.22 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.48 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.79 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +50.44%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this bank holding company would post earnings of $2.4 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.59, delivering a surprise of +7.92%.

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

Western Alliance, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - West industry, posted revenues of $1.03 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.25%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $788.2 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four 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.

Western Alliance shares have lost about 5.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.9%.

What's Next for Western Alliance?While Western Alliance 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 Western Alliance was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.44 on $967.81 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $9.74 on $3.99 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, Banks - West is currently in the top 29% 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.

One other stock from the same industry, Coastal Financial Corporation (CCB - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +63.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.4% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Coastal Financial Corporation's revenues are expected to be $148.7 million, up 6.6% from the year-ago quarter.

FMP Stock News

GF Value™ verdict: The current price of $76.95 is 13.6% below the GF Value™ estimate of $89.07.GF Score™: With a strong score of 89/100, WAL indicates solid overall performance.Most notable signal: Insider activity shows that insiders sold $0.1M in the last three months, indicating a lack of buying interest. Is WAL Overvalued or Undervalued? Western Alliance Bancorp WAL is currently trading at $76.95, which is 13.6% undervalued compared to the GF Value™ estimate of $89.07. This suggests a potential margin of safety for investors looking at the stock, despite the recent drop in share price. The GF Valuation label categorizes WAL as "Modestly Undervalued," indicating that the stock may have opportunities for growth as it approaches its intrinsic value.

GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. The undervaluation signals an opportunity, but investors should remain cautious, considering the recent performance trends and insider activity, which might reflect broader market sentiments or company-specific challenges.

How Does WAL's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 9.0x 9.5x Forward P/E 8.0x - The current P/E (TTM) ratio of 9.0x is 6% below its 5-year median P/E of 9.5x, suggesting that the stock is trading below its historical valuation. This analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the notion that WAL is currently undervalued based on its historical performance.

What Does WAL's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 89/100 Financial Strength 4/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 10/10 Momentum 7/10 The GF Score™ of 89/100 indicates that WAL has strong potential for long-term returns, particularly due to its high Growth and Valuation rankings of 10/10. However, the Financial Strength score of 4/10 suggests weaknesses that may need addressing. Overall, while WAL shows strengths in growth and valuation, the financial stability aspect may warrant caution for investors.

What Are Insiders Doing with WAL Stock? In the past three months, insiders have sold $0.1M worth of stock, with no reported buying activity. This trend of net selling could suggest a lack of confidence among insiders regarding the stock's near-term prospects or a strategic decision to diversify their holdings. Such activity may be worth monitoring for potential changes in sentiment.

With the stock trading 13.6% below its intrinsic value, it presents an opportunity for potential growth, though investors should consider the company's financial strength and insider selling trends as part of their evaluation.

3 Audio Video Stocks to Buy as Industry Tailwinds Gain Momentum
SONO Sonos
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The Zacks Audio Video Production industry participants like Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (DLB - Free Report) , Sonos Inc. (SONO - Free Report) and LiveOne, Inc. (LVO - Free Report) are likely to benefit from investments in cutting-edge technology solutions that drive enhanced communication experiences. Streaming, creator content, gaming, spatial audio and AI-powered tools are reimagining value creation across the industry. Rapid technological advances, such as 4K, 8K and immersive audio formats, are boosting the demand for new devices, which bodes well for participants like Dolby. The players also stand to gain as they increase focus on direct-to-customer sales channels.

However, the industry faces some headwinds. Hardware demand remains cyclical and sensitive to consumer spending. Global macroeconomic uncertainty amid escalating trade tensions, tariffs and associated inflationary pressure is likely to keep consumer spending in check. This does not bode well for the participants. A highly promotional environment and stiff competition from importers of comparatively low-priced devices are denting margins. Online accessibility of recording equipment and the availability of distribution channels on the Internet are additional headwinds.

Industry Description The Zacks Audio Video Production industry comprises television, speaker, video player and camcorder manufacturers. It includes companies that offer gaming consoles, drones and high-end cameras for individuals and industrial markets. These firms provide state-of-the-art audio, imaging and voice technologies that enhance entertainment and communication experiences. Some industry participants develop audio and imaging products, including digital cinema servers and products for film production and entertainment industries. Apart from providing theatrical and television production services for cinema exhibitions, broadcast and home entertainment, these companies work with film studios, content creators, broadcasters and video game designers. Some prominent players are present in the music and image-based software markets worldwide.

4 Trends Shaping the Future of the Audio-Video Production Industry Technological Advancement to Spur Growth: From rapid technological advances like 4K, 8K and immersive audio formats, the demand for high-resolution visual and audio experiences is a major growth driver. The rise of streaming or OTT platforms is fueling this trend, as consumers and businesses seek to recreate a cinematic atmosphere at home. Gaming is another catalyst, as PC and console gamers now seek enhanced visuals and immersive sound design. The rise of the creator economy is also fueling the demand for enhanced cameras and editing tools. Industry players like GoPro are benefiting from this trend, as its cameras are popular among creators. Automotive audio represents another lucrative opportunity as vehicles become more software-driven and experience-focused.

Increasing Demand for Premium Entertainment: The industry performed well despite drastic changes in how media is consumed and distributed. The rise in demand for premium entertainment from record labels, TV producers and advertisers is likely to stoke profitable growth. Strong demand across all regions with a more direct-to-consumer, subscription-centric model bodes well for industry participants.

Macroeconomic Headwinds Likely to Hurt Consumer Demand: The global macroeconomic uncertainty amid escalating trade tensions and tariffs, and associated inflationary pressures is likely to keep consumer spending, especially discretionary purchases, in check. While companies keep investing in market share gains and supply-chain resilience, a shortage of critical hardware components due to the disruption in the supply chain could hurt revenues in the near term. Fluctuations in commodity pricing for different components are additional concerns. Elevated promotional activity to boost sales amid weak spending is also affecting the performance of these industry participants.

Aggressive Competition: In the United States, smart-connected televisions, microphones and speaker enclosures are the most popular electronic devices among customers. However, U.S.-based manufacturers of audio and video systems face intense competition from importers of comparatively low-priced devices, particularly from China, Vietnam and Mexico. These firms face stiff competition across all end markets, often leading to intense price wars and margin contraction.

Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bright Prospects The Zacks Audio Video Production industry is housed within the broader Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector. It currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of #16, placing it in the top 7% of more than 244 Zacks industries.

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates bright near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one.

Before we present a few audio-video production stocks you may want to consider for your portfolio, let’s look at the industry’s recent stock market performance and valuation picture.

Industry Lags the Sector & the S&P 500 The Zacks Audio Video Production industry lags the broader Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector and the S&P 500 composite in the past year.

The industry has lost 13.8% over this period against the S&P 500’s 21.3% return. The broader sector has edged down 3% over the same timeframe.

1-Year Price Performance

 

Industry's Current Valuation Price-to-earnings is commonly used for valuing audio-video production stocks. The industry has a forward 12-month P/E of 16.94X compared with the S&P 500’s 21.57X. It is below the sector’s forward 12-month P/E of 17.22X.

In the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 23.92X and as low as 16.94X, with a median of 21.24X, as the chart below shows.

Price-to-Earnings Forward Ratio (Past Five Years)

 

3 Audio Video Production Stocks to Consider Sonos: Headquartered in Santa Barbara, CA, Sonos operates as a consumer electronics company that is primarily involved in the manufacturing of speakers with immersive sound experiences.

Product innovation is reaccelerating after a deliberate pause, with launches in the pipeline for the second half of fiscal 2026. Following the launch of Amp Multi, the company launched Sonos Play & Era 100 SL speakers last week. With this launch, the company is reinforcing its strategy of building a sound system that grows with users over time rather than forcing them to replace devices with each upgrade. The Sonos Play is positioned as the brand’s most versatile speaker to date. It combines the performance expected from a home speaker with the portability needed for on-the-go listening.

The Era 100 SL is a mic-free version of the popular Era 100, designed for users who prefer a more private listening experience without requiring a voice assistant functionality. By removing microphones and streamlining certain features, Sonos has created a more affordable gateway into its ecosystem.

Sonos is also refining its go-to-market strategy while expanding geographically to tap underpenetrated international markets. Sonos currently holds about 6% share of the $24-billion premium audio market, underscoring significant headroom for share gains.

Sonos expects second-quarter revenues between $250 million and $280 million, indicating a 4% year-over-year decline to an 8% increase, with a 2% rise at the mid-point.

At present, SONO sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.  

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its fiscal 2026 bottom line is pegged at $1.20, unchanged in the past 30 days. The company’s shares have gained 16.8% in the past year.

Price & Consensus: SONO

Dolby: San Francisco-based Dolby develops audio and imaging technologies that revolutionize entertainment for user-generated content, TV shows, films, music and gaming.Dolby continues to see strong engagement across its ecosystem of creators, distributors and device OEMs for its Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision technologies. The company’s Dolby Vision 2 for TVs builds on Dolby Vision and is designed to meet evolving viewer expectations while enhancing movies, sports and gaming with more vivid pictures and brighter colors across mainstream and premium TVs. Peacock and Canal+ announced support as early launch partners, and TP Vision (Philips), Hisense and TCL introduced upcoming models supporting Dolby Vision 2. Dolby expects the first Dolby Vision 2 TVs to be available by the end of the year.

Dolby is extending its presence in the automotive market, driven by strong demand from OEMs to elevate in-car entertainment quality. Dolby stated that it now has partnerships with more than 35 OEMs, up from 20 a year ago.  It also announced collaboration with Qualcomm to integrate Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision into the latter’s Gen 5 Snapdragon Automotive platform. Integrations like these are aimed at expanding its footprint into the auto ecosystem.

For fiscal 2026, the company expects revenues of $1.4-$1.45 billion compared with the prior mentioned $1.39-$1.44 billion. The company reported revenues of $1.35 billion in fiscal 2025. Licensing revenues are projected to be $1.295-$1.345 billion compared with the previously stated $1.285 billion to $1.335 billion.

With Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and imaging patents growing at roughly 15% and accounting for nearly half of its licensing revenues, the company expects foundational revenues to decline slightly overall.

At present, DLB carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its fiscal 2026 bottom line is pegged at $4.31, unchanged in the past seven days. Shares have declined 25.5% in the past year.

Price & Consensus: DLB

LiveOne: Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, LiveOne provides a platform for live stream and on-demand audio, video, and podcast/vodcast content in music, comedy, and pop culture and is the owner of LiveXLive, Slacker Radio, PodcastOne and React Presents, among others. LiveOne is focused on aggressively cutting down costs (declining 52% year over year in the third quarter of fiscal 2026) and reducing debt to strengthen its balance sheet. It is leveraging AI to streamline its workforce.

The company is strategically focusing on expanding its B2B deals, having established significant new agreements and identifying potential partnerships in the pipeline. On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, LVO highlighted that the pipeline was up 30% in the last 4 months, with more than 100 active enterprise opportunities (ranging from $1 billion to $1 trillion companies). Strengthening partnerships with platforms like Amazon, Apple and Tesla, and the expected launch of three Fortune 500 partnerships, bode well.

LVO is also targeting conversion of more than 1 million free and ad-supported users into paid tiers, while leveraging its 65 million-user database to launch proprietary products.

Management expects fiscal 2027 revenues of $85-$95 million, with $8-$10 million in adjusted EBITDA.

At present, LVO carries a Zacks Rank #2. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its fiscal 2026 bottom line is pegged at a loss of $1.54, unchanged in the past 30 days. Shares have fallen 25.7% in the past year.
