Equity Residential překonala FFO, výnosy mírně zaostaly
EQR Equity Residential
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Equity Residential (EQR - Free Report) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $1.02 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.01 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.99 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an FFO surprise of +0.99%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this real estate investment trust would post FFO of $0.95 per share when it actually produced FFO of $0.99, delivering a surprise of +4.21%.

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

Equity Residential, which belongs to the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust - Residential industry, posted revenues of $785.05 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.08%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $768.83 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future FFO expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Equity Residential shares have added about 8.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.7%.

What's Next for Equity Residential?While Equity Residential 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 FFO outlook. Not only does this include current consensus FFO 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 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 estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Equity Residential 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 FFO estimate is $1.04 on $793.72 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.07 on $3.16 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, REIT and Equity Trust - Residential is currently in the top 38% 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.

Mid-America Apartment Communities (MAA - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on July 29.

This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.08 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -3.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Mid-America Apartment Communities' revenues are expected to be $557.28 million, up 1.3% from the year-ago quarter.

The stock fell short of the S&P 500, which registered a loss of 0.14% for the day. On the other hand, the Dow registered a loss of 0.01%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq decreased by 0.57%.

Coming into today, shares of the school bus maker had gained 10.26% in the past month. In that same time, the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector lost 4.03%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.25%.

The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Blue Bird in its forthcoming earnings report. In that report, analysts expect Blue Bird to post earnings of $1.22 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 2.52%. Meanwhile, the latest consensus estimate predicts the revenue to be $498.7 million, indicating a 25.3% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.74 per share and revenue of $1.74 billion. These totals would mark changes of +8.22% and +17.88%, respectively, from last year.

It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Blue Bird. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the business operations and its ability to generate profits.

Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.

The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 3.45% higher. Currently, Blue Bird is carrying a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Investors should also note Blue Bird's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 17.15. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 19.24, so one might conclude that Blue Bird is trading at a discount comparatively.

It's also important to note that BLBD currently trades at a PEG ratio of 1.04. Comparable to the widely accepted P/E ratio, the PEG ratio also accounts for the company's projected earnings growth. The average PEG ratio for the Automotive - Domestic industry stood at 1.04 at the close of the market yesterday.

The Automotive - Domestic industry is part of the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 105, putting it in the top 43% of all 250+ industries.

SpaceX chystá 13. test Starshipu 23. července
SPCX SpaceX
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
SpaceX (SPCX -6.70%) is once again looking to launch a test flight of its Starship megarocket. Investors should be paying very close attention, as the impact on SpaceX’s stock price should be meaningful.

After several aborted attempts, the company is looking to complete the rocket’s thirteenth test flight on July 23. As with most SpaceX launches, the attempt will be livestreamed via the company’s website.

“The booster’s primary test objective will be executing a successful launch, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and landing burn at an offshore landing point in the Gulf of America,” SpaceX explains. “There have been several modifications to hardware and software to address issues seen on the previous flight.”

The impact of this test flight for SpaceX cannot be overstated. In many ways, SpaceX’s long-term growth plans hinge on the company’s ability to successfully commercialize its Starship rocket.

If you’re a current or potential SpaceX investor, there are two things you need to know.

1. Starship is critical for SpaceX growth plansIn its IPO prospectus filed earlier this year, SpaceX was not shy about predicting its growth potential.

“We believe we have identified the largest actionable total addressable market in human history,” the company boasted. “We estimate that our quantifiable TAM is $28.5 trillion.”

Digging deeper, it may be surprising to learn that SpaceX attributes just $370 billion to what it calls “space-enabled solutions”. That bucket includes the total revenue potential of commercializing its Starship rockets.

With a market cap well above $2 trillion, successfully commercializing rockets may not seem critical to SpaceX’s long-term plan, given its relatively low growth potential. But investors must understand that the success of SpaceX’s Starship rocket will enable other growth opportunities that are much more lucrative long term. In other words, Starship’s value won’t be relegated to payload fees alone.

For example, SpaceX attributes $1.6 trillion of its total addressable market to its Starlink internet service. If successful, its Starship rocket would dramatically increase the number of satellites SpaceX can launch in any given year while also lowering the cost of getting them into space.

In other words, SpaceX’s Starship rocket will increase the odds that SpaceX will be able to realize as much of its claimed $1.6 trillion opportunity as possible.

Meanwhile, SpaceX attributes a massive $26.5 trillion of its total $28.5 trillion addressable market to a single opportunity: AI. While this bucket contains many smaller opportunities, one of SpaceX’s biggest growth catalysts should be the realization of orbital data centers.

Orbital data centers are exactly what they sound like: data centers that operate in space. In space, data centers can take better advantage of solar energy and low ambient temperatures, lowering ongoing operating costs.

There are many technical challenges to getting data centers to operate successfully in space. One of the biggest, however, is simply getting these systems into space economically. If successful, SpaceX’s Starship rocket would meaningfully improve the company’s chances of doing so.

2. Competition for Starship is heating upSpaceX’s rocket program is arguably the most advanced rocket program on the planet. But there’s rising investment across the industry, which will create more competition for SpaceX over the coming months and years.

Government entities like China’s CNSA and India’s ISRO are pursuing their own rocket developments. Meanwhile, private companies, including Blue Origin, Rocket Lab (RKLB +0.91%), and Relativity Space are also aggressively pursuing the development of their own rocket systems.

SpaceX’s rocket program, however, is unique in terms of its vertical integration.

“SpaceX has also effectively achieved a high degree of vertical integration,” observes Government Technology, a public sector magazine. “It owns almost all parts of its supply chain, designing, building, and testing all its major hardware components in-house, with a minimal use of suppliers. That gives it not just control over its hardware but considerably lower costs, and the price tag is the top consideration for launch contracts.”

It’s hard to disagree about SpaceX’s success, both in terms of its launch achievements and its cost competitiveness. But it’s also clear that competition is heating up.

If SpaceX’s upcoming test flight is successful, that will help clear the path for the full commercialization of Starship. In this scenario, SpaceX will once again put itself ahead of the pack in terms of both technology and launch costs. Both of those factors will prove critical to the company’s ability to execute on its long-term growth potential.

SpaceX’s rocket program is arguably the most advanced rocket program on the planet. But there’s rising investment across the industry, a fact that will create more competition for SpaceX over the coming months and years.

Alphabet vykázal 98 miliard USD v ostatních výnosech
GOOGL Alphabet
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Bloomberg/Getty Images Imagine making nearly $100 billion extra and dedicating exactly one vague sentence to it. That's just what Google parent Alphabet did in its second quarter earnings report.

The tech giant reported that its "other income" totaled $98 billion in the second quarter, noting it came from unrealized gains on its investments.

Analysts didn't ask Alphabet executives about the gain on its earnings call. Instead, they focused on its rising capital expenditures and position in the AI race. The tech giant's stock closed down about 1.24%.

It's not the first time Alphabet has done this. In April 2025, the company disclosed a similar $8 billion paper gain. Google has no obligation to disclose exactly where those gains come from, and it doesn't.

The gains are almost certainly related to very savvy investments the company has made in companies like SpaceX, Anthropic, and Databricks.

Google was an early SpaceX investor, buying about 7% of the company in 2015. SpaceX also uses Google Cloud for its Starlink service. SpaceX is currently worth about $1.5 trillion dollars since its IPO last month. Google invested in SpaceX when it was worth only about $12 billion — that's a 133x return.

Google is also heavily invested in Anthropic, owning about a 14% stake in the company as of last March, according to filings seen by the New York Times. The AI lab was valued at almost $1 trillion in a massive $65 billion funding round in May. Some investors think it's already worth $1.2 trillion.

Additionally, Google is an investor in Databricks, which was valued at $188 billion in a funding round earlier this month.

Google, SpaceX, Anthropic, and Databricks didn't respond to requests for comment.

Google's investing chops are certainly impressive. But investors are more concerned about Google's own prospects.

The tech giant hiked its capital expenditures to a maximum of $205 billion this year as it races to compete on AI. While Google has strong advantages in distribution and chipmaking, its efforts to build a leading AI model haven't paid off.

It keeps delaying its next big AI chatbot, which some rivals are mocking online.

Still, many analysts remain bullish on Google's fundamentals. Its revenue jumped by almost 25% compared to last year on the back of strong ads and cloud sales, which are also being boosted by AI.

"Another impressive quarter for Google," said Emarketer principal analyst Nate Elliott.

Investors should also take note of any recent adjustments to analyst estimates for Amazon. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. Hence, positive alterations in estimates signify analyst optimism regarding the business and profitability.

Our research reveals that these estimate alterations are directly linked with the stock price performance in the near future. To utilize this, we have created the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model that integrates these estimate changes and provides a functional rating system.

The Zacks Rank system, which varies between #1 (Strong Buy) and #5 (Strong Sell), carries an impressive track record of exceeding expectations, confirmed by external audits, with stocks at #1 delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.49% higher within the past month. At present, Amazon boasts a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

In the context of valuation, Amazon is at present trading with a Forward P/E ratio of 27.72. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 17.14, which means Amazon is trading at a premium to the group.

Meanwhile, AMZN's PEG ratio is currently 1.6. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. As of the close of trade yesterday, the Internet - Commerce industry held an average PEG ratio of 1.12.

The Internet - Commerce industry is part of the Retail-Wholesale sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 161, which puts it in the bottom 35% of all 250+ industries.

The Zacks Industry Rank gauges the strength of our industry groups by measuring the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks within the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22 (Reuters) - Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab and the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) on Wednesday said that the AI chip leader has donated a supercomputer with its ​latest chips to a nonprofit linked to the institution.

The NPS is ‌operated by the U.S. Navy and offers masters and doctoral degrees in fields such as computer science and aerospace engineering, among others, with an emphasis on their applications in warfare. ​Nvidia donated a system based on its GB300 "Grace Blackwell" servers, its most ​advanced AI computers, to the NPS Foundation, a nonprofit connected to ⁠the school.

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

Nvidia and the NPS did not disclose the size of the system, ​but confirmed it has been installed at the NPS campus in Monterey, California, ​where Adm. Samuel J. Paparo, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang planned to hold an event to announce the system.

While Nvidia's Blackwell chips are planned for use in ​U.S. government supercomputers built by the U.S. Department of Energy, the donation ​on Wednesday is the first direct use of Nvidia's most advanced servers by the U.S. military.

“AI ‌will ⁠be a backbone of America’s defense,” Huang said in a statement.

Both the U.S. and China are racing to deploy AI for military purposes ranging from developing targeting lists to drone warfare.

“As we modernize our technology, we must also modernize how we educate our ​leaders,” Adm. Paparo ​said in a ⁠statement. “Access to advanced computing capability means NPS students and faculty understand the opportunities and responsibilities that come with these technologies.”

One ​of AI's strengths is the ability to work through complex, ​fast-changing problems ⁠much faster than traditional computer simulation techniques.

“Initially, we will need to carefully manage demand as we bring this capability online,” Trenton Hancock, chief information officer at NPS, said ⁠in a ​statement. “But what this system really gives us is ​the ability to explore more complex, real-world problems, especially those that mirror the challenges our operational ​fleet faces every day.”

Intel oznamuje prvního externího zákazníka pro foundry: Fortinet
INTC Intel
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Intel (INTC -2.47%) CEO Lip-Bu Tan told CNBC in May that "multiple customers" were working with the company's foundry business, but that it was his personal policy not to name them. On Tuesday, Intel finally named one.

Cybersecurity specialist Fortinet will use Intel's foundry (the business that manufactures chips for other companies) to produce its next-generation security chip, called the SP6, the two companies announced. The chip will be built on the Intel 4 process, and Fortinet becomes the first named outside customer for the foundry since Tan took over in March 2025.

Investors saw plenty to like. Intel shares jumped more than 8% on Tuesday to close at $105.40, adding to a run that has lifted the stock more than 300% over the past year.

And the timing raises the stakes. Intel reports second-quarter results after the market closes on Thursday, July 23.

So what does the Fortinet deal actually prove -- and what should investors watch for in the report?

Image source: Intel.

A name matters more than the chip Intel's foundry effort has never lacked announcements. What it has lacked is named, committed customers. And Intel has yet to land a major one for its most advanced manufacturing processes, known as 14A and 18A.

That history is what makes the Fortinet deal both encouraging and limited.

On the positive side, a company has now publicly committed a next-generation product to Intel's manufacturing. That is the kind of outside validation the foundry strategy has been missing, and it arguably makes the next customer conversation easier. Fortinet is a credible name, too. The cybersecurity company's dedicated security chips serve a market where demand has been climbing for years.

However, the SP6 will be built on Intel 4. That's an older, less advanced process, introduced in 2023 for the compute tile in Intel's own Core Ultra PC chips -- not the leading-edge technology Intel's turnaround ultimately depends on. A named customer on Intel 4 is progress. It isn't the marquee win that would prove Intel can manufacture the industry's most advanced chips in large quantities.

The economics are still tiny The deal's financial weight is the other reason to stay level-headed. In the first quarter, Intel Foundry generated $5.4 billion of revenue, up 16% year over year. But nearly all of that came from making Intel's own products. External foundry revenue (money from manufacturing chips for outside customers) was just $174 million in the quarter. That's a sliver for a company that posted $13.6 billion in total revenue.

Demand for Intel's own chips, at least, is trending the right way -- even as the company confirmed this week that it is trimming jobs in that same data center unit. First-quarter revenue in the company's data center and artificial intelligence (AI) segment rose 22% year over year, faster than the company's overall 7% growth rate.

"The next wave of AI will bring intelligence closer to the end user," Tan said in the company's first-quarter earnings release, adding that the shift "is significantly increasing the need for Intel's CPUs and wafer and advanced packaging offerings."

Even so, Intel's reported bottom line is still in the red while it builds out capacity. The company posted a net loss of $3.7 billion in the first quarter -- though $4.1 billion of restructuring and impairment charges, largely a writedown of Mobileye goodwill, more than accounted for it. On a non-GAAP basis, which strips out those and other items, Intel earned $1.5 billion.

That's what makes Thursday's report the more important event of the week. Investors should watch three things: the trajectory of external foundry revenue, the size of the net loss, and any sign that a significant leading-edge customer is getting closer.

And the stock's run complicates the setup. After rising more than 300% in a year, Intel trades at nearly 90 times forward earnings -- a multiple that assumes the turnaround works, not one that leaves room for it to stumble. For a company still in the red on a reported basis, that is a lot of confidence to carry into an earnings report. And Tuesday's move, which came amid a broad chip-sector rally, showed how eager the market is to reward any scrap of foundry progress.

The Fortinet announcement is the first outside proof point of the Tan era, and I don't want to diminish it. A foundry needs customers willing to say so publicly, and now Intel has one. But the deal contributes a signal -- Intel didn't disclose what it contributes in dollars. At this valuation, Intel needs to deliver both. I'd want to see Thursday's numbers (external foundry revenue in particular) before paying nearly 90 times forward earnings for a turnaround still finding its footing.

Original source text
IBM (IBM - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.93 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate . This compares to earnings of $2.8 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

A quarter ago, it was expected that this technology and consulting company would post earnings of $1.81 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.91, delivering a surprise of +5.52%.

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

IBM, which belongs to the Zacks Computer - Integrated Systems industry, posted revenues of $17.16 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.03%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $16.98 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three 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.

IBM shares have lost about 28.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.7%.

What's Next for IBM?While IBM 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 IBM was unfavorable. 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 #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform 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 $2.83 on $17.03 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $12.13 on $70.75 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, Computer - Integrated Systems is currently in the top 7% 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, NCR Voyix (VYX - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.

This maker of ATMs and other hardware and software to handle payments is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.16 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -15.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

NCR Voyix's revenues are expected to be $517.5 million, down 22.3% from the year-ago quarter.

ServiceNow zvyšuje výhled díky růstu AI adopce
NOW ServiceNow
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott said on Wednesday that the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence is strengthening the company's competitive position.

His comments come just one day after OpenAI disclosed that one of its advanced AI agents escaped a controlled testing environment during a cybersecurity evaluation and compromised the infrastructure of AI startup Hugging Face before it was detected and contained.

"We have a kill switch that stops AI agents that go rogue, so those things don't need to happen, and they wouldn't happen when companies run ServiceNow," McDermott said on CNBC's "Mad Money."

ServiceNow offers a suite of software applications and tools used by companies to manage and automate workflows across IT, human resources, and customer service operations. It's also expanded its cybersecurity presence, in part through the acquisitions of Veza and Armis. Both deals closed this year.

Agentic systems are an increasingly popular corner of AI, going beyond a more simplistic chatbot that answers queries with a written response. These advanced systems are capable of executing multi-step tasks with little to no human intervention.

McDermott said ServiceNow's AI Control Tower is its system that gives companies a central place to monitor, manage, and secure the growing number of AI agents, helping businesses move "from AI chaos to AI discipline."

Shares of ServiceNow rose in extended trading after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue. Even after the jump, however, the stock remains down more than 30% this year after software shares sold off during what investors dubbed the "SaaSpocalypse" amid concerns that advances in AI would disrupt the industry's traditional seat-based business model.

McDermott dismissed concerns that growing AI competition could pressure ServiceNow's profits or cause customers to shorten contract terms.

"If you look at the terms of our contracts, they've actually gotten longer," McDermott said.

Instead, he argued that broader AI adoption should increase demand for ServiceNow's software.

"There's going to be more AI. There's going to be more incidents, and all these things drive more and more volume to ServiceNow," he said. "That's why we increased the full-year guide."

OpenAI did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment but said earlier that AI is accelerating the discovery and exploitation of vulnerabilities, which means model security and safety need to keep up.

"We are strengthening the containment, monitoring, access controls, and evaluation practices used during model development," the ChatGPT maker said.

MONTREAL, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) and Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) announced today that they have signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding establishing a framework for CN to secure competitive access in connection with the proposed transaction between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC).

The settlement agreement preserves customer options and resolves terminal railroad ownership issues, while expanding CN’s presence in the Midwest and reaffirming gateway protections for all customers and railroads.

Under the settlement agreement, which is contingent on the Surface Transportation Board’s (STB) approval and closing of the merger:

CN gains access to shipper facilities where Class I railroad options would be reduced from 2-to-1 or 3-to-2, where commercially and operationally feasible.CN acquires Norfolk Southern's ownership interests in the Kansas City Terminal Railway Company (KCT) and the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis (TRRA). CN gains new access in the Midwest through overhead rights between Tuscola, Illinois, and East St. Louis, Illinois, and rights to serve customers between St. Louis, Missouri, and Kansas City, Missouri. For the first time, CN will have a footprint in the heart of Kansas City, with usage of Union Pacific’s Neff Yard. CN will not oppose the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger. Both parties will collaborate through the STB process to ensure that this agreement takes effect. “From day one, we’ve said our merger with Norfolk Southern will preserve and enhance competitive options and create a stronger railroad industry that delivers better service for customers,” said Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena. “This settlement agreement reinforces those commitments by giving expanded access and operating rights to a tough competitor.”

“As the rail industry considers significant structural change, it is essential that customers continue to benefit from meaningful competition and choice,” said CN President and CEO Tracy Robinson. “This framework would preserve competitive access to key markets, including Kansas City, while positioning CN to continue providing reliable and efficient options for customers across North America.”

Crown Castle překonala odhady FFO i tržeb
CCI Crown Castle
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Crown Castle (CCI - Free Report) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $1.13 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1 per share. This compares to FFO of $1.02 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an FFO surprise of +13.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this operator of wireless communications towers would post FFO of $1.01 per share when it actually produced FFO of $1.02, delivering a surprise of +0.99%.

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

Crown Castle, which belongs to the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust - Other industry, posted revenues of $1.01 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.52%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.06 billion. 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 FFO expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Crown Castle shares have lost about 14.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.7%.

What's Next for Crown Castle?While Crown Castle 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 FFO outlook. Not only does this include current consensus FFO 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 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 estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Crown Castle 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 FFO estimate is $1.20 on $1.02 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.43 on $4.13 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, REIT and Equity Trust - Other is currently in the top 24% 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, Easterly Government Properties (DEA - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 3.

This property management company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.79 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +6.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Easterly Government Properties' revenues are expected to be $91.34 million, up 8.4% from the year-ago quarter.

PATH UiPath
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
In the latest trading session, UiPath (PATH - Free Report) closed at $10.70, marking a -11.13% move from the previous day. The stock fell short of the S&P 500, which registered a loss of 0.14% for the day. On the other hand, the Dow registered a loss of 0.01%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq decreased by 0.57%.

Prior to today's trading, shares of the enterprise automation software developer had gained 18.5% outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 4.82% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.25%.

The upcoming earnings release of UiPath will be of great interest to investors. The company's earnings per share (EPS) are projected to be $0.15, reflecting no change from the same quarter last year. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $397.59 million, up 9.91% from the prior-year quarter.

Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $0.8 per share and revenue of $1.78 billion. These totals would mark changes of +11.11% and +10.4%, respectively, from last year.

It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for UiPath. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the business and profitability.

Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To capitalize on this, we've crafted the Zacks Rank, a unique model that incorporates these estimate changes and offers a practical rating system.

Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. UiPath is holding a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) right now.

Digging into valuation, UiPath currently has a Forward P/E ratio of 15.05. This represents a discount compared to its industry average Forward P/E of 19.55.

We can additionally observe that PATH currently boasts a PEG ratio of 0.72. The PEG ratio is akin to the commonly utilized P/E ratio, but this measure also incorporates the company's anticipated earnings growth rate. The Internet - Software industry had an average PEG ratio of 1.06 as trading concluded yesterday.

The Internet - Software industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. With its current Zacks Industry Rank of 104, this industry ranks in the top 43% of all industries, numbering over 250.

The Zacks Industry Rank assesses the strength of our separate industry groups by calculating the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks contained within the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.

RPM hlásí rekordní čtvrtletní EBIT a růst tržeb
RPM RPM International
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Russell L. Gordon, VP and CFO of RPM International Inc. (RPM +5.81%), reported a disposition of 1,137 shares of common stock on July 19, 2026, according to a recent SEC Form 4 filing.

Transaction summaryMetricValueTransaction value~$119,500Shares sold1,137Post-transaction shares (directly held)80,281Post-transaction value$8.16 millionKey questionsWhat were the mechanics behind this transaction?
The transaction was a non-discretionary sale of 1,137 shares at $105.08 per share to cover tax liabilities stemming from the vesting of performance stock units granted in 2023. This disposition was part of a pre-arranged tax-withholding process and does not reflect a discretionary trade based on the executive's view of the company's valuation.What is the insider's remaining equity exposure?
After this transaction, Gordon holds 80,281 shares directly. The CFO also holds 219,800 direct derivative securities, which include stock appreciation rights granted between 2017 and 2026 that vest in four equal annual installments.How does this activity align with the company's financial profile?
RPM International Inc. provides specialty chemicals for construction and industrial markets. As of the July 20, 2026, market close, the company had a market capitalization of $13 billion, with trailing twelve-month revenue of $7.7 billion and net income of $665.9 million.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-07-20)$101.63Market Capitalization$13.0 billionRevenue (TTM)$7.7 billionNet Income (TTM)$665.9 millionCompany SnapshotRPM International Inc. manufactures and distributes specialty chemicals for construction, industrial, specialty, and consumer markets, including waterproofing and coating systems, sealants, air barriers, roofing solutions, and resin flooring systems across four operating segments.The company generates revenue through the development and sale of high-performance specialty chemical products that address specific application needs in construction, building maintenance, industrial manufacturing, and consumer home improvement sectors.RPM serves a diverse customer base, including construction contractors, building maintenance professionals, industrial manufacturers, and residential consumers seeking specialized chemical solutions for waterproofing, sealing, bonding, and protective coating applications.RPM International Inc. is a $13.0 billion market capitalization specialty chemicals manufacturer generating $7.7 billion in TTM revenue. The company maintains a diversified portfolio across construction, industrial, and consumer markets, leveraging proprietary formulations and established distribution networks to compete in fragmented specialty chemical segments. RPM's strategic positioning in high-growth end markets such as building weatherization, infrastructure maintenance, and industrial flooring solutions provides sustainable competitive advantages through product differentiation and customer relationships.

What this transaction means for investorsThe performance shares that triggered this filing were granted in 2023 and paid out this month, which means the vesting rewards three years of results that just culminated in a strong finish. Gordon kept 80,281 shares plus a large stack of appreciation rights, and ultimately, nothing about a withholding trade signals his view of the stock.

The timing does line up with news, though. RPM just capped fiscal 2026 with record fourth-quarter results, each of its three segments growing sales and adjusted operating profit, and CEO Frank Sullivan noted the quarter marked "the 16th time in the past 18 quarters” the company hit record adjusted EBIT — despite eight straight quarters of weak do-it-yourself demand. Against the records, long-term investors should keep an eye on this dynamic and the consumer softness. RPM keeps setting profit highs on cost discipline and its construction and coatings segments, but a persistently weak DIY market is the drag that has offset its efficiency, and with shares down about 4% in the past year, it’s clear investors are craving more.

Akcie Constellation Energy rostou po jaderné dohodě USA se Saúdskou Arábií
CEG Constellation Energy
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Constellation Energy (CEG +4.66%) stock was true to its name on Wednesday, as investors energetically traded it almost 5% higher. This was part of a broader rally in nuclear stocks, on the back of a splashy deal signed between the U.S. government and a key ally, plus reports of a new top-down initiative to spur power plant build-outs in this country.

The Saudi deal The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it had signed a long-term deal to help develop nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia. The 30-year pact formalizes nuclear cooperation between the two nations and pushes several U.S. energy companies into leading roles in build-outs in the strategic Middle Eastern country.

Image source: Getty Images.

It's important to note that Constellation isn't likely to be one of the main companies involved in the work, as its concentration is on domestic energy generation. Yet as the No. 1 operator of American nuclear plants, it could serve in an advisory or training capacity.

Besides, the government's striking this deal is yet another strong indication of its desire to promote and support the nuclear power industry.

Continued domestic push Separately, Bloomberg reported that the administration is also planning to launch a new, $200 million program to support the construction of power plants within our borders. A key goal of this initiative, not surprisingly, is to satisfy the considerable power needs of artificial intelligence (AI)-ready data centers.

As nuclear plants produce considerable clean power, they are considered ideal facilities for such a push.

The Bloomberg article, which cited a document its reporters had seen, mentioned small modluar reactor (SMR) specialists Oklo and X-Energy as participants on the energy industry side, and Microsoft and Nvidia as partners from the tech sector.

Constellation was not mentioned in the article, as it operates full-scale nuclear facilities and not SMRs. Even if it doesn't end up playing a role in the program, it's sure to benefit from this latest top-down effort to boost the nation's power-generating capacity.

Eric Volkman has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Constellation Energy, Microsoft, and Nvidia. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

SEI Investments hlásí rekordní tržby a EPS
SEIC SEI Investments Company
FMP Stock News 88
Original source text
3 Mid-Cap to Mega-Cap Stocks Have Announced Significant BuybacksSEI Investments NASDAQ: SEIC reported what executives described as an “outstanding” second quarter of 2026, with quarterly records for revenue, adjusted operating profit and adjusted earnings per share.

Chief Executive Officer Ryan Hicke said revenue rose 15% from the prior year, adjusted operating profit increased 36% and adjusted EPS grew 38%. Hicke told analysts the results reflected changes made over the past several years, including more disciplined capital allocation, an evolved value proposition and execution of strategic goals laid out at the company’s investor day.

Get SEI Investments alerts:

“This quarter is less about what happened during the last three months and more a reflection of the changes we have made over the past few years,” Hicke said.

Operating Leverage Drives Earnings Growth Chief Financial and Chief Operating Officer Sean Denham said the increase in adjusted EPS was driven primarily by core operating performance, including mid-teens revenue growth, 500 basis points of margin expansion and a 3% reduction in share count.

The quarter also included investment-related gains. Denham said SEI’s consolidated co-investment in an LSV hedge fund contributed $7.5 million through the net gain on variable interest entities line item. He said SEI invested $50 million in that strategy last year, and it has generated more than $12 million of gains over the last 12 months after excluding non-controlling interests. SEI also recognized nearly $4 million of mark-to-market gains across several other co-investments during the quarter.

Denham said revenue and operating profit increased across most of SEI’s businesses. Investment Managers Services generated 17% revenue growth, reflecting the conversion of prior sales into revenue. Private Banking revenue increased 11%, driven by growth within the existing client base. Advisors revenue rose 30%, benefiting from higher market values and the contribution from Stratos.

Institutional was the exception, with operating profit roughly flat from the prior year as SEI continued investing in asset management initiatives.

Sales Events Remain Elevated SEI reported $43 million of sales events during the quarter, following a record $67 million in the first quarter. Year-to-date sales events totaled $110 million.

Hicke said Investment Managers Services generated more than $32 million of sales events, driven by both new client wins and expanded relationships with existing clients. Denham said about three-quarters of IMS sales events came from alternative investments.

Private Banking produced more than $13 million of sales events, with activity tied to new regional bank wins, conversions from TRUST 3000 to the SEI Wealth Platform, and demand for professional services, including SEI Data Cloud. Denham said Private Banking also executed contract renewals representing $13 million of annualized revenue during the quarter, following $34 million in the first quarter.

Across Advisors and Institutional, net sales events were modestly negative. Denham said SEI continues to see demand for newer offerings such as ETFs and separately managed accounts, though those products generally carry lower fee rates than traditional mutual funds.

Private Markets, ETFs and Stratos Highlight Growth Plans Hicke pointed to several growth investments that he said currently contribute little to financial results but could become meaningful over time. One focus is expanding private markets into retail and retirement channels. He said SEI’s registered transfer agency, fund administration platform and trust company create a “full-stack capability” for managers seeking administration, transfer agency, investor servicing, compliance and operational infrastructure.

Hicke said SEI believes its retail alternatives and private markets retirement initiatives have the potential to become a business generating more than $100 million of annual run-rate revenue within five years.

SEI also continues to expand its asset management strategy. Hicke said the company launched its latest active factor ETF, SEUS, bringing its ETF lineup to 10 funds. He said SEI’s ETF business has grown from $3 billion to more than $8 billion over the past 12 months. He also cited SEI’s recently announced partnership with Carlyle as an example of product development tied to market opportunity.

Stratos, SEI’s advisor-focused platform, also remains a focus. Hicke said SEI advisors are showing interest in succession, liquidity and growth solutions without leaving the company’s ecosystem. Denham said Stratos contributed $21 million of revenue in the quarter, up 11% from the first quarter, and generated $2 million of operating profit before non-controlling interests. Excluding acquisition-related intangible amortization, Stratos EBITDA exceeded $9 million.

Technology and AI Investments Continue Management also emphasized investments in data, automation and artificial intelligence. Hicke said enhancements to SEI Data Cloud and the IMS platform are helping clients access information faster, simplify integrations, reduce operational complexity and make better use of data.

Sneha Shah, a member of SEI’s executive management team, said clients are asking SEI for help as they rethink operating models and evaluate where to use partners. She said SEI is seeing demand for SEI Data Cloud services and professional services tied to AI readiness.

Denham said SEI’s relationship with IBM is intended to support automation and help the company co-create agents for labor-intensive processes. Hicke said the IBM relationship is an enterprise-wide initiative, starting with IMS and expanding to other areas of the company.

Capital Returns and Outlook SEI ended the quarter with nearly $400 million of cash. The company repurchased $112 million of stock during the quarter at an average price of $87. Denham said repurchase activity was lower than in the first quarter, when market volatility created what SEI viewed as a significant opportunity, but said the company expects repurchases to increase from second-quarter levels.

Asked about balancing buybacks with acquisitions, Denham said SEI has roughly a $600 million revolving credit facility that is essentially untouched, giving the company capacity to support M&A activity, including Stratos-related opportunities.

SEI did not provide formal guidance. In response to an analyst question about sustaining low- to mid-teens revenue growth, Hicke said the company does not give guidance but described pipelines as “as strong as they’ve ever been” and said management is encouraged by what it sees for second-half revenue.

Kinder Morgan překonal odhady zisku i tržeb
KMI Kinder Morgan
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Kinder Morgan (KMI - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.37 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.31 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.28 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +19.36%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this oil and natural gas pipeline and storage company would post earnings of $0.38 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.48, delivering a surprise of +26.32%.

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

Kinder Morgan, which belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Production and Pipelines industry, posted revenues of $4.48 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.33%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.04 billion. 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.

Kinder Morgan shares have added about 17.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.7%.

What's Next for Kinder Morgan?While Kinder Morgan has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Kinder Morgan 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 $0.33 on $4.42 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.49 on $18.17 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, Oil and Gas - Production and Pipelines is currently in the bottom 11% 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, Enbridge (ENB - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on July 31.

This oil and natural gas transportation and power transmission company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.44 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -6.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

Enbridge's revenues are expected to be $11.03 billion, up 2.6% from the year-ago quarter.

FDA přezkoumá daraxonrasib pro rakovinu slinivky
RVMD Revolution Medicines
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a late-stage clinical oncology company developing targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review the company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for daraxonrasib, an oral RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, for previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

“The FDA’s acceptance of the daraxonrasib NDA is an important step in the regulatory review process and brings us closer to the possibility of offering patients a new targeted medicine for previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer,” said Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and chairman of Revolution Medicines. “Daraxonrasib is an oral targeted medicine designed to inhibit RAS, the main cause of pancreatic cancer, and the application is supported by unprecedented results from the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial. These findings underscore the potential for daraxonrasib to become a new standard of care and to help define a new class of RAS‑targeted medicines for this disease. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the FDA as the agency reviews the application, and with other global regulatory authorities as we advance our efforts to bring daraxonrasib to patients as quickly as possible.”

The NDA is based on results from the global, randomized Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial, evaluating daraxonrasib versus standard of care cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC, with or without an identified tumor RAS mutation. The trial met all primary and key secondary endpoints, including unprecedented improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival. In addition, daraxonrasib exhibited a manageable safety profile and patients treated with daraxonrasib reported significantly delayed deterioration in cancer-related pain, overall global health status and quality of life, compared to those treated with chemotherapy. Results from the RASolute 302 trial were presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting with simultaneous publication in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Daraxonrasib was selected for the FDA Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher pilot program, which is designed to accelerate the review of medicines that address key national health priorities. The FDA previously granted daraxonrasib Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC.

The Company recently announced that the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has begun a phased review of daraxonrasib, allowing data to be evaluated as they become available before submission of a full marketing authorization application. Daraxonrasib has also received orphan medicine designation for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, and high-priority status under EMA’s Cancer Medicines Pathfinder project based on its potential to address a significant unmet need.

About Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by its typically late-stage diagnosis, resistance to standard chemotherapy, and high mortality rate. In the U.S., recent estimates indicate that annually approximately 60,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and about 50,000 people will die from this aggressive disease.1 Due to the lack of early symptoms and detection methods, most patients are diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at an advanced or metastatic stage. Metastatic PDAC remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., with a five-year survival rate of approximately 3%.2,3

About Daraxonrasib

Daraxonrasib is an investigational, oral RAS(ON) multi-selective, noncovalent tri-complex inhibitor that works by suppressing RAS signaling through inhibition of the interaction between both wild-type and mutant RAS(ON) proteins and their downstream effectors. It is designed to target cancers driven by a broad range of common RAS genotypes, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and colorectal cancer. Daraxonrasib is being advanced through a global Phase 3 registrational program comprising four trials, including the completed RASolute 302 trial and three additional trials in patients with PDAC and metastatic RAS mutant NSCLC.

About the RASolute 302 Clinical Trial

RASolute 302 (NCT06625320) is a global, randomized Phase 3 registrational clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daraxonrasib as a monotherapy in patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In the trial, patients were randomized to receive either an oral dose of 300 mg daraxonrasib once daily or investigator’s choice of four different cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens, which represent standard of care across the globe. The trial enrolled patients with metastatic PDAC harboring a wide range of RAS variants, including those with RAS G12 mutations (such as G12D, G12V, and G12R), as well as patients without an identified tumor RAS mutation (wild type).

The primary endpoints of the RASolute 302 trial were progression-free survival (PFS), as assessed by a Blinded Independent Central Review according to RECIST 1.1, and overall survival (OS) in patients with tumors harboring RAS G12 mutations. Secondary endpoints included PFS and OS in all enrolled patients (the intent-to-treat population) encompassing patients with and without identified tumor RAS mutations, as well as objective response rate, duration of response, and patient-reported quality of life.

Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction(2)

On April 1, 2026, the Corporation completed its acquisition of Blue Foundry Bancorp and Blue Foundry Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. On July 11, 2026, Blue Foundry Bank merged with and into Fulton Bank. As a result of the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction, the Corporation acquired total assets with preliminary fair values of approximately $2.1 billion including total loans with a preliminary fair value of approximately $1.6 billion and investments with a fair value of $226.5 million. The Corporation assumed total liabilities with a fair value of $1.8 billion including total deposits with a fair value of $1.5 billion and borrowings with a fair value of $276.0 million. Financial Highlights

Second quarter of 2026 operating results of $0.60 per diluted share(1) were impacted by the following items:

Net interest margin remained solid at 3.60%, representing a two basis point increase from the prior quarter. Non-interest income increased $9.5 million to $79.3 million compared to $69.8 million in the prior quarter. Non-interest expense increased $30.7 million to $231.0 million compared to $200.3 million in the prior quarter. Operating non-interest expense increased $19.9 million to $210.6 million(1) compared to $190.7 million in the prior quarter. Provision for credit losses was $4.9 million resulting in an allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans of $382.6 million, or 1.48% of total net loans as of June 30, 2026. The initial allowance for credit losses on loans acquired in the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction was $31.0 million. Common equity tier 1 capital ratio(3) increased to approximately 12.1% compared to 11.9% in the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2026, 525,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock were repurchased under the 2026 Repurchase Program(4) at a cost of $11.1 million or an average of $21.19 per share. As of June 30, 2026, the Corporation repurchased $35.6 million of common stock under the 2026 Repurchase Program. The following items highlight notable changes in the components of net income in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026:

Net interest income increased $22.2 million to $284.3 million driven by a $17.5 million increase attributable to the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction. A $32.6 million increase in interest income on net loans, a $2.9 million increase in interest income on investment securities and a $2.6 million increase in interest income in other interest-earning assets were partially offset by a $10.9 million increase in interest expense on deposits and a $4.9 million increase in interest expense on borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Purchase loan mark accretion from loans acquired in the Republic Transaction(5) was $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $10.3 million in the prior quarter. Purchase loan mark accretion from loans acquired in the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction was $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2026. Interest expense on borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities included approximately $2.4 million from the Corporation's $195.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 3.250% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 that were redeemed on June 15, 2026. Non-interest income before investment securities gains (losses) was $79.3 million compared to $69.8 million in the prior quarter. The $9.5 million increase was primarily attributable to a $7.3 million increase in income from equity method investments, reflected in other income, that included $6.9 million of income recognized from an equity method investment that was sold during the quarter. Compared to the prior quarter, mortgage banking income increased by $1.0 million. Non-interest expense was $231.0 million compared to $200.3 million in the prior quarter. The $30.7 million increase was primarily due to an $11.2 million increase in acquisition-related expenses and a $10.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense driven by a $6.2 million increase as a result of the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction and a $3.5 million increase in incentive compensation expense. Increases of $2.2 million and $1.8 million in other outside services expense and data processing and software expense, respectively, were primarily driven by the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction. Other non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 included a $2.1 million charge incurred related to merging two employee pension plans and $0.8 million of debt extinguishment costs. Balance Sheet Summary

Total net loans increased $1.7 billion to $25.9 billion compared to $24.3 billion as of March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to a $1.6 billion increase in loans, based on preliminary fair values, as a result of the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction. Excluding the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction, net loans increased $102.6 million with an increase of $206.9 million in consumer loans(6), partially offset by a decrease of $104.3 million in commercial loans(6). Deposits totaled $28.3 billion, a $1.5 billion increase compared to $26.8 billion as of March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to a $1.2 billion increase in deposits as a result of the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction. Excluding the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction, net deposits increased $249.2 million due to increases of $257.4 million in brokered deposits, $189.4 million in savings deposits and $76.4 million in time deposits, partially offset by decreases of $155.6 million in interest-bearing demand deposits and $118.5 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. On May 5, 2026, the Corporation issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.950% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036. On June 15, 2026, the Corporation redeemed $195.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 3.250% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030. Provision for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

The provision for credit losses totaled $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2026. The allowance for credit losses attributable to net loans was $382.6 million, or 1.48% of total net loans as of June 30, 2026, compared to $367.5 million, or 1.51% of total net loans as of March 31, 2026. The increase was largely due to a $28.7 million increase in the allowance for credit losses as a result of the Blue Foundry Bancorp Transaction. Non-performing assets were $187.1 million, or 0.54% of total assets, as of June 30, 2026, in comparison to $177.5 million, or 0.55% of total assets, as of March 31, 2026.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

(dollars in thousands, except per share and share data)

Explanatory note:

This press release contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, that has been derived by methods other than GAAP. The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure follow:

Our net orders were relatively stable throughout the quarter, with our traffic posting a sequential gain of 9% in the second quarter. Our adjusted homebuilding gross margin of 20.0% increased by 30 basis points on a sequential basis, benefitting from lower incentives and direct costs as we controlled our costs and inventory levels."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes are useful to management, investors and other users of its financial information in evaluating its operating results and understanding its operating trends without the effect of specified factors that management believes affect comparability. The Company believes excluding specified factors that management believes affect comparability provides more comparable assessment of its financial results from period to period. The Company defines adjusted net income as consolidated net income before (i) income tax expense; (ii) inventory impairment; (iii) abandonment of lot option contracts; (iv) restructuring costs; (v) loss on debt extinguishment; (vi) impairment on other investment; and (vii) purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory; in each case, as applicable during a period, less adjusted income tax expense, calculated using the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate after discrete items for the applicable period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by weighted average common shares – diluted.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment (if applicable), interest in cost of home sales revenues, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (if applicable), is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP; however, the Company's management believes that this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that inventory impairment, indebtedness, and acquisitions have on homebuilding gross margin and permits the Company's stockholders to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.  This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company's GAAP operating results.  An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest in cost of home sales revenues, (iii) other interest expense (income), and (iv) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before inventory impairment, abandonment of lot option contracts, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, loss on debt extinguishment, impairment on other investment, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, in each case as applicable during a period. The Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, and other specified factors that management believes affect comparability. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or other specified factors that management believes affect comparability. Each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results of operations as reported under GAAP.

Ratio of Net Homebuilding Debt to Net Capital

The following table presents the Company's ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The Company calculates this by dividing net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less cash and cash equivalents, and cash held in escrow) by net capital (net homebuilding debt plus total stockholders' equity). Homebuilding debt is total debt minus outstanding borrowings under construction loan agreement and mortgage repurchase facilities. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the ratio of homebuilding debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in its operations and as an indicator of the Company's ability to obtain external financing.

Record quarterly net revenues of $3.93 billion, up 16% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 2% over the preceding quarter Quarterly net income available to common shareholders of $595 million, or record $3.01 per diluted share, up 42% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 11% over the preceding quarter; quarterly adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $620 million(1), or record $3.14 per diluted share(1)Domestic Private Client Group net new assets(2) of $21.7 billion for the fiscal third quarter, or annualized growth from beginning of quarter assets of 5.5%Record client assets under administration of $1.92 trillion, up 17% over June 2025 and 9% over March 2026Record quarter-end Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts of $1.15 trillion, up 22% over June 2025 and 11% over March 2026Record net bank loans of $56.2 billion, up 13% over June 2025 and 3% over March 2026; Securities-based loans of $24.8 billion, up 34% over June 2025 and 8% over March 2026 Annualized return on common equity and annualized adjusted return on tangible common equity of 18.8% and 23.5%(1), respectively, for the fiscal third quarter Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) today reported net revenues of $3.93 billion and net income available to common shareholders of $595 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2026. Quarterly adjusted net income available to common shareholders, which excluded $25 million of acquisition-related expenses, net of tax, was $620 million(1), or $3.14 per diluted share(1).

“Results through the first nine months of the fiscal year were strong, with records set for net revenues, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share, reflecting the continued execution of our long-term strategies and the strength of a culture built on putting people first and earning trust over generations,” said CEO Paul Shoukry. “Our consistent performance reflects our long-term approach, the resiliency of our diversified business model and the commitment of our associates and advisors to serving clients with integrity. These results were anchored by continued strength in the Private Client Group, where fee-based assets reached a quarter-end record of $1.15 trillion and annualized domestic PCG net new asset growth was 6.6% for the first nine months of the fiscal year. As we enter the fiscal fourth quarter, we do so with significant momentum, supported by historically strong business drivers, robust financial advisor recruiting and strong investment banking pipelines, as well as ample capital and liquidity to support continued growth.”

Record quarterly net revenues increased 16% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 2% over the preceding quarter, largely driven by continued growth in asset management and related administrative fees which grew to approximately $2.1 billion. Quarterly pre-tax income increased 2% over the preceding quarter while net income available to common shareholders increased 10% largely due to a lower effective tax rate. For the fiscal third quarter, annualized return on common equity and annualized adjusted return on tangible common equity were 18.8% and 23.5%(1), respectively.   

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, record net revenues of $11.5 billion increased 11%, record earnings per diluted share of $8.52 increased 16%, and record adjusted earnings per diluted share of $8.83(1) increased 17% over the first nine months of fiscal 2025. The Private Client Group and Asset Management segments generated record net revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2026. The Asset Management and Bank segments produced record pre-tax income during the same period. Annualized return on common equity was 18.1% and annualized adjusted return on tangible common equity was 22.0%(1).

Pre-tax income grew 3% over the year-ago quarter as the asset management fee revenue growth was partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates and investments in leading growth, including record recruiting results.  

Capital Markets

Quarterly net revenues of $477 million, up 25% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 3% over the preceding quarter Quarterly investment banking revenues of $285 million, up 40% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 5% over the preceding quarter  Quarterly pre-tax income of $48 million   Quarterly net revenues increased 25% over the prior-year period, driven predominantly by higher M&A and advisory revenues and higher debt and equity underwriting revenues.

Net interest margin of 2.71% for the quarter was down 3 basis points compared to the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 10 basis points compared to the preceding quarter. The credit quality of the loan portfolio remains strong.    

Other Matters

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 20.7%, which reflects the favorable impact of nontaxable gains on our corporate-owned life insurance portfolio in the quarter.     

During the fiscal third quarter, the firm repurchased $400 million of common stock at an average price of $152 per share. As of June 30, 2026, $1.1 billion remained available under the Board’s approved common stock repurchase authorization.

WESTLAKE, Texas, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (“Goosehead” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GSHD), a rapidly growing independent personal lines insurance agency, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

Total Revenues grew 21% over the prior-year period to $113.4 million in the second quarter of 2026Second quarter Core Revenues* of $95.6 million increased 10% over the prior-year periodSecond quarter net income of $17.0 million increased from net income of $8.3 million a year agoEPS of $0.42 per share increased 106% and Adjusted EPS* of $0.64 per share increased 32%, over the prior-year periodNet income margin for the second quarter was 15%Adjusted EBITDA* of $37.9 million increased 30% from $29.2 million in the prior-year periodAdjusted EBITDA Margin* increased 2 percentage points over the prior-year period to 33%Total written premiums placed for the second quarter increased 14% over the prior-year period to $1.34 billionPolicies in force grew 15% from the prior-year period to approximately 2.1 millionCorporate agent headcount of 583 increased 22% compared to the prior-year periodTotal franchise producers of 2,190 increased 5% from the prior-year period *Core Revenue, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of Core Revenue to total revenues, Adjusted EPS to basic earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, are set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

“Today we are proud to announce our second quarter results which reflect accelerating momentum across our entire business,” said Mark Miller, CEO. “We delivered strong new business growth in every channel while improving client retention, accelerating premium and policy in force growth rates, and increasing productivity. Our distribution force is healthier than ever, our technology continues to evolve at a significant pace, and the product market is more favorable than it has been in years. We believe Goosehead is well-positioned for continued durable growth and profitability.”

Second Quarter 2026 Results
For the second quarter of 2026, total revenues were $113.4 million, an increase of 21% compared to the corresponding period in 2025. Core Revenues, a non-GAAP measure which excludes contingent commissions, initial franchise fees, interest income, and other franchise revenues, were $95.6 million, a 10% increase from $86.8 million in the prior-year period. Core Revenues are the most reliable revenue stream for the Company, consisting of New Business Commissions, Agency Fees, New Business Royalty Fees, Renewal Commissions, and Renewal Royalty Fees. Core Revenue growth was driven primarily by more policies in their renewal term, supported by an 86% Client Retention rate, and by more new policies placed, driven by growth in the number of Corporate and Franchise sales agents and improved Franchise productivity. This was partially offset by the prior-year recognition of $3.0 million of Renewal Commissions and $1.0 million of Renewal Royalty Fees tied to the release of a constraint on variable consideration for policies placed in earlier periods. The Company grew total written premiums, which we consider to be the leading indicator of future revenue growth, by 14% in the second quarter compared to the corresponding period in prior year.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $86.8 million, up from $78.4 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted total operating expenses* for the second quarter of 2026 were $75.4 million, up 16% from $64.9 million in the prior-year period. Employee compensation and benefits increased to $54.3 million from $50.4 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted employee compensation and benefits* increased to $49.6 million from $44.4 million in the prior-year period. The increases were primarily due to investments in corporate producers and technology functions. Equity-based compensation decreased to $4.8 million for the period, compared to $6.0 million in the prior-year period. General and administrative expenses increased to $28.4 million from $24.6 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted general and administrative expenses*, increased to $25.4 million from $20.0 million primarily due to investments in technology and professional services to drive growth and continue to improve the client experience. Bad debt expense of $0.5 million decreased compared to the prior-year period.

Net income in the second quarter of 2026 was $17.0 million versus net income of $8.3 million in the prior-year period. Earnings per share and Net Income Margin for the second quarter of 2026 were $0.42 and 15%, respectively. Adjusted EPS* for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.64 per share. Total Adjusted EBITDA* was $37.9 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $29.2 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin* of 33% increased 2 percentage points in the quarter.
*Adjusted total operating expenses, adjusted employee compensation and benefits, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures. For the definition and reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP” below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP

This release includes certain financial performance measures that are not required by, nor presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company refers to these measures as “non-GAAP financial measures.” The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating its performance and considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax position, depreciation, amortization and certain other items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors.

These non-GAAP financial measures are defined by the Company as follows:

"Core Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Renewal Commissions, Renewal Royalty Fees, New Business Commissions, New Business Royalty Fees, and Agency Fees. We believe that Core Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes all of our revenues from sales of individual insurance policies."Cost Recovery Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Initial Franchise Fees and Interest Income. We believe that Cost Recovery Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are viewed by management as cost recovery mechanisms."Ancillary Revenue" is a supplemental measure of our performance and includes Contingent Commissions and Other Franchise Revenues. We believe that Ancillary Revenue is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it summarizes revenues that are ancillary to our core business."Adjusted EBITDA" is a supplemental measure of the Company's performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, impairment and other gains and losses, contract termination costs, and other non-operating items, including, among other things, certain non-cash charges and certain non-recurring or non-operating gains or losses."Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is Adjusted EBITDA as defined above, divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is helpful in measuring profitability of operations on a consolidated level."Adjusted EPS" is a supplemental measure of our performance, defined as earnings per share (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before non-recurring or non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EPS is a useful measure to management and our investors because it eliminates the impact of items that do not relate to business performance and helps measure our profitability on a consolidated level.“Adjusted total operating expenses” is defined as Total operating expenses (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other gains and losses, and contract termination costs. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring charges.“Adjusted employee compensation and benefits” is defined as Employee compensation and benefits (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before equity-based compensation. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash compensation charges.“Adjusted general and administrative expenses” is defined as general and administrative expenses (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) before impairment and other gains and losses and contract termination costs. This measure is useful to management and our investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring charges. While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenues, net income, or earnings per share, in each case as recognized in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in the Company’s industry, may calculate such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

The following tables show a reconciliation from total revenues to Core Revenue, Cost Recovery Revenue, and Ancillary Revenue (non-GAAP basis) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains certain Non-GAAP measures used by management that we believe are helpful to understand our business. We believe investors should review these Non-GAAP measures along with GAAP net income and cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT's operating performance. Our definitions and calculations of these Non-GAAP financial and operating measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These Non-GAAP financial and operating measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. For definitions and reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures to our financial statements as prepared under GAAP, refer to both Reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 6 and Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions and Reconciliations on pages 16-19.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions and Reconciliations

The following Non-GAAP financial measures definitions do not include adjustments in respect to membership upgrade revenue: (i) FFO; (ii) Normalized FFO; (iii) EBITDAre; (iv) Adjusted EBITDAre; (v) Property operating revenues; (vi) Property operating expenses, excluding property management; and (vii) Income from property operations, excluding property management.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO). We define FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate, impairment charges and adjustments to reflect our share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

We believe FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, is generally a measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance for equity REITs, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating performance.

NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (NORMALIZED FFO). We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding non-operating income and expense items, such as gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties, defeasance costs, transaction/pursuit costs and other, and other miscellaneous non-comparable items. Normalized FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to Normalized FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same methodology for computing this amount.

FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION (FAD). We define FAD as Normalized FFO less non-revenue producing capital expenditures.

We believe that FFO, Normalized FFO and FAD are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate and impairment charges, which are based on historical costs and may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management because it allows them to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences not related to our normal operations. For example, we believe that excluding the early extinguishment of debt and other miscellaneous non-comparable items from FFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods because these costs do not affect the future operations of the properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items.

INCOME FROM PROPERTY OPERATIONS, EXCLUDING PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. We define Income from property operations, excluding property management as rental income, membership subscriptions and upgrade sales, utility and other income less property and rental home operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, membership sales and marketing expenses, excluding property management expenses. Property management represents the expenses associated with indirect costs such as off-site payroll and certain administrative and professional expenses. We believe exclusion of property management expenses is helpful to investors and analysts as a measure of the operating results of our properties, excluding items that are not directly related to the operation of the properties. For comparative purposes, we present bad debt expense within Insurance and other in the current and prior periods. We believe that this Non-GAAP financial measure is helpful to investors and analysts as a measure of the operating results of our properties.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAX, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION FOR REAL ESTATE (EBITDAre) AND ADJUSTED EBITDAre. We define EBITDAre as net income or loss excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from sales of properties, impairment charges, and adjustments to reflect our share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with our interpretation of the standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to EBITDAre reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

We define Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre excluding non-operating income and expense items, such as gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance costs, transaction/pursuit costs and other, and other miscellaneous non-comparable items.

We believe that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because the measures are widely used to measure the operating performance of an equity REIT.

DPZ Domino’s Pizza
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Russell J. Weiner, Chief Executive Officer of Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ -2.00%), reported a sale of 10,850 shares of common stock on July 17, 2026, according to an SEC Form 4 filing.

Transaction summaryMetricValueTransaction value$3.6 millionShares sold10,850Post-transaction shares (total)47,161Post-transaction shares (directly held)43,828Post-transaction shares (indirectly held)3,333Post-transaction value$15.2 millionTransaction value based on SEC Form 4 weighted average sale price ($330.83); post-transaction value based on July 17, 2026, market close ($322.18).

Key questionsWhat was the structural nature of this disposition?
Russell J. Weiner employed an exercise-and-sell strategy, converting 10,850 options with a strike price of $136.89 into common stock, then immediately liquidating the shares at $330.83. This method allows executives to realize gains from equity compensation without an initial cash outlay for the exercise price.How is the insider's remaining equity distributed?
Following the transaction, the Chief Executive Officer retains 43,828 shares in direct ownership. Indirect exposure is maintained through 1,120 shares held by the Russell Weiner Trust Agreement U/A DTD 09/03/2003 and 2,213 shares held by the Russell J. Weiner 2023 Grantor Trust, totaling a $15.2 million stake.What governed the timing and execution of this trade?
The transaction was non-discretionary at the time of execution, as it was governed by a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established on March 13, 2025, more than a year prior. This structural insulation means the trade was pre-scheduled regardless of the -31% one-year return for the stock as of the July 17, 2026, transaction date.What is the company's current financial profile relative to this activity?
Domino's Pizza continues to operate as a major global pizza purveyor with trailing twelve-month revenue of $5.0 billion and net income of $596.5 million. As of July 20, 2026, market close, the company had a market capitalization of $10.9 billion, with insiders collectively holding a 0.14% ownership stake.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-07-20)$328.97Market Capitalization$10.9 billionRevenue (TTM)$5.0 billionNet Income (TTM)$596.5 millionCompany SnapshotDomino's Pizza operates as a leading international and domestic pizza purveyor, generating revenue through the sale of Domino‘s-branded pizzas and complementary menu items, including oven-baked sandwiches, distributed across a vast network of corporate-owned and franchised outlets.The company operates through three distinct business segments—U.S. Stores, International Franchise, and Supply Chain—leveraging a franchise-based model that generates revenue from both direct store operations and royalties and fees from independent franchisees.Domino's serves consumers seeking convenient, value-oriented pizza delivery and carryout, with a primary customer base spanning residential and commercial markets across North America and internationally.Domino's Pizza has a market capitalization of $10.9 billion, TTM revenue of $5.0 billion, and net income of $596.5 million, positioning it as a significant player in the global quick-service restaurant sector. The company's franchise-centric operating model provides scalability and recurring revenue streams while minimizing capital intensity. Domino's competitive advantages include its established brand recognition, extensive distribution network spanning both domestic and international markets, and operational efficiency driven by technology-enabled ordering and delivery systems.

What this transaction means for investorsSince this transaction is part of a pre-planned, exercise-and-sell compensation strategy for Domino’s and its CEO, investors shouldn’t worry too much about it. We shouldn’t take this sale to heart too much in relation to DPZ stock or its recent performance.

From a Foolish perspective on Domino’s stock, I believe it is time for investors to start paying close attention to the steady-Eddie compounder. After completely reinventing its pizza in 2009, Domino’s went on to generate annualized total returns of 26% since -- even after the stock’s 34% pullback over the last year. While sales growth has slowed -- and the market may be sneaking up on saturation with over 22,500 locations globally -- the recent drawdown has Domino’s trading at a valuation it hasn’t seen since 2013.

Currently trading at just 17 times free cash flow (FCF), Domino’s would need to compound FCF by 5% annually over the long haul to live up to this discounted valuation, according to a reverse discounted cash flow calculation, which isn’t outrageous. Furthermore, the company has grown its dividend payments by 12% annually over the last decade, but these payments still use only 37% of Domino’s FCF, leaving ample room for further increases, and the 2.3% yield should be very secure. It may not be the most exciting investment right now, but Domino’s could be an excellent dividend-paying cornerstone for investors seeking more stability than many of today’s most popular AI or data center stocks offer.

Aypa has approximately 6.5 GW of operating & contracted capacity and a >20 GW development pipeline
Acquisition provides a scale entry point into the North American battery energy storage market
Enhances our ability to provide integrated energy solutions to our customers

NEW YORK, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Aypa Power ("Aypa") from funds managed by Blackstone Energy Transition Partners (“Blackstone”) for approximately $7 billion enterprise value at closing, or an equity value of $3 billion. Aypa is the largest standalone battery storage developer in North America, with a highly contracted and diversified portfolio across attractive power markets in the United States and Canada.

Under the terms of the agreement, Brookfield will acquire Aypa's operating, under-construction and contracted project portfolio, together with its development platform and approximately 200-person team. The transaction provides Brookfield with a leading presence in the North American battery energy storage systems ("BESS") market, and will help Aypa deliver on its next phase of growth, supported by Brookfield's differentiated operating and development competencies, procurement, commercial and capital markets capabilities.

Brookfield is pursuing the investment through the second vintage of its flagship global transition strategy, alongside its institutional partners including Brookfield Renewable Partners (“Brookfield Renewable”).

Investment Highlights

Leading North American battery storage platform: Aypa is the largest standalone battery energy storage platform in North America, comprised of approximately 6.5 GW of operating, under-construction and contracted battery storage capacity, complemented by a >20 GW development pipeline. Its assets are strategically located in transmission and capacity-constrained regions experiencing favorable market dynamics. Highly contracted, resilient cash flows: Aypa’s operating and under-construction portfolio is 95% contracted under long-term agreements with investment-grade customers for an average remaining contract life of 17 years, providing strong cash flow visibility. Differentiated development platform: The platform has market-leading siting, transmission analytics, procurement and contracting capabilities, which contribute to strong development execution and project-level economics. Accelerating growth and expanding capabilities: Brookfield will partner with Aypa to accelerate the development of its pipeline by leveraging its operating and development expertise, access to capital, and global supplier and commercial relationships. Together, Brookfield and Aypa are well positioned to meet growing demand for reliable, flexible power by delivering integrated energy solutions to utilities, corporations and other large power customers. Jehangir Vevaina, Chief Investment Officer in Brookfield’s Energy group, said: “We are excited to partner with Aypa to deliver on the company’s scale growth pipeline. Battery storage is increasingly critical to the reliability and resilience of today’s energy systems, and bringing together this leading platform with Brookfield’s broad capabilities across technologies and geographies further strengthens our ability to deliver integrated energy solutions to the world’s largest buyers of power.”

Moe Hajabed, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aypa Power, said: "This is an extraordinary achievement for the team that built Aypa. Over the past six years, with Blackstone's partnership, we grew Aypa into the largest and most valuable storage-focused independent power producer in North America. Together, we helped establish battery storage as critical infrastructure, essential to a more reliable and resilient grid. I look forward to seeing Aypa flourish further under Brookfield’s ownership."

Bilal Khan, Senior Managing Director, and Mark Zhu, Managing Director, from Blackstone said: “We invested in Aypa based on our conviction that battery storage would become increasingly critical to supporting grid reliability and meeting growing electricity demand from AI and other use cases. Since then, the company has established itself as the leading battery storage platform in North America, supported by a premier development pipeline and strong customer relationships. We are proud to have partnered with Aypa and its exceptional management team, and look forward to its next phase of growth with Brookfield.”

Additionally, net sales benefited from higher prices implemented to offset the effects of inflation and tariffs and from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower volume/mix. GAAP operating profit for the second quarter was up 9.8% to $193 million compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter, due to productivity savings from fixed cost reduction initiatives and procurement savings. These positive factors were offset by the absence of operating profit from the divested ThermoSafe business and lower volume/mix. Effective tax rates on GAAP income from continuing operations before income taxes and adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, were 27.8% and 23.8%, respectively, in the second quarter, compared to 37.3% and 25.6%, respectively, in the same period in 2025. “Our Sonoco team delivered solid second quarter results that met our expectations and exceeded consensus estimates as productivity and cost control initiatives helped offset global inflation headwinds stemming from higher logistics, chemicals, resins and other raw material costs,” said Howard Coker, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Results from our Industrial Paper Packaging segment exceeded expectations with operating profit up 4% during the period and up 29% from the first quarter. The Industrial segment improvement was primarily driven by productivity gains which more than offset price/cost headwinds. North America URB trade tons grew 6% which boosted mill utilization to 95%, while the segment’s volume/mix was flat. Our Consumer Packaging segment operating profit declined approximately 5% during the period but was up 22% sequentially from the first quarter. Productivity and cost containment initiatives boosted Consumer segment results. Paper can volumes were up 9% in EMEA/APAC due to rising snack demand, but overall segment volumes were down 1.8% driven primarily by lower metal aerosol cans and adhesive and sealant tube demand.”

Paul Joachimczyk, Sonoco’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “Our businesses continue to demonstrate tremendous cash-generating capabilities, delivering a record second-quarter operating cash flow of $301 million and free cash flow of $237 million, increases of 56% and 139%, respectively, compared to the prior year. These results reflect disciplined working capital management and the earnings power of our portfolio. Year-to-date operating cash flow includes approximately $103 million of one-time tax payments related to gains from our 2025 divestitures, highlighting that our underlying cash flow performance is strong and supports our confidence in reaffirming full-year guidance.”

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Results
(Dollars in millions except per share data)

Sonoco reports its financial results in two reportable segments: Consumer Packaging (“Consumer”) and Industrial Paper Packaging (“Industrial”).

As previously announced, effective January 1, 2026, results of the Company’s industrial and specialty plastics business (“Industrial Plastics”), the only business remaining in the All Other group of businesses following the November 2025 divestiture of ThermoSafe, are now included in the Industrial segment. Therefore, the Company no longer provides results of the All Other group of businesses.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company maintained strong liquidity of $1.3 billion at June 28, 2026, consisting of $1.1 billion of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and cash on hand.Cash and cash equivalents were $169 million as of June 28, 2026, compared to $378 million, as of December 31, 2025.Total debt and net debt were $4.5 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, as of June 28, 2026, primarily reflecting seasonal working capital requirements within the Company's metal packaging business.Cash flow from operating activities for the period ended June 28, 2026 was a use of $(67) million, compared to a use of $(15) million in the same period of 2025. The main drivers of the year-over-year change in operating cash flow were a one-time payment of taxes in 2026 on the gains from the 2025 divestitures of the TFP and ThermoSafe businesses and the seasonal need for working capital for the Company’s metal packaging business.Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of fixed assets, for 2026 were $124 million, compared to $186 million last year.Free Cash Flow for the period ended June 28, 2026 improved to $(191) million compared to $(201) million in the same period in 2025, reflecting the factors impacting operating cash flow discussed above.The Company returned $106 million to shareholders through dividends during the first half of 2026, compared to $104 million in the prior year period. Guidance(1)         

Full-Year 2026

Net Sales: $7.25 billion to $7.75 billion, in line with previous guidanceAdjusted EPS(2): Maintaining annual adjusted EPS guidance of $5.80 to $6.20 per diluted share and continuing to expect results toward the low end of the rangeAdjusted EBITDA(2): Guidance of $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion is unchanged from previous guidanceCash flow from operating activities: Guidance remains unchanged at $700 million to $800 million, including the effect of payments of prior year taxes on gains from divestitures and restructuring costs Commenting on Sonoco’s outlook, Howard Coker said, “Entering the second half of the year we are encouraged that several key indicators are strengthening in our favor as we begin our busiest period of the year. Demand for our URB in North America is very strong as a result of entering new markets, such as saturating URB for laminated products, along with share gains that have expanded our backlogs and require that we import paper from our Europe and Latin America mills through the third quarter. In our Consumer segment, projected paper can growth in Europe, Asia, and South America has us exploring additional capacity expansion plans while customer promotions and new product launches are projected to lift both paper and metal can volumes as we enter the important seasonal pack season in both the U.S. and EMEA. While we remain mindful of external macroeconomic risks, we are confident in our strategy, portfolio and ability to execute through economic cycles.”

Joachimczyk added, “As pricing actions and contract resets take effect, we expect improved margin performance across our portfolio. Combined with ongoing productivity initiatives, disciplined cost management and execution of our profitability performance plan, we remain confident in achieving our long-term goal of improving margins by 200 basis points by the end of 2028.”

(1)Although the Company believes the assumptions reflected in the range of guidance are reasonable, given the uncertainty regarding the future performance of the overall economy, the effects of tariffs, trade policy and inflation, the challenges in global supply chains, potential changes in raw material prices, other costs, and the Company’s effective tax rate, as well as other risks and uncertainties, including those related to the integration of Eviosys and described below, actual results could vary substantially. Further information can be found in the section entitled “Forward-looking Statements” in this release.

(2) Full year 2026 GAAP guidance is not provided in this release due to the likely occurrence of one or more of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast without unreasonable efforts: restructuring costs and restructuring-related impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture-related costs, gains or losses from the sale of businesses and the income tax effects of these items and/or other income tax-related events. These items could have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, quantitative reconciliations of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA guidance and net debt/Adjusted EBITDA targets to the nearest comparable GAAP measures have been omitted in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10 of Regulation S-K.

The Company’s results, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are referred to as “as reported” or “GAAP” results. The Company uses certain financial performance measures, both internally and externally, that are not in conformity with GAAP (referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures”) to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are identified using the term “Adjusted” (for example, “Adjusted Operating Profit,” “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Sonoco,” and “Adjusted Diluted EPS”), reflect adjustments to the Company’s GAAP operating results to exclude amounts, including the associated tax effects where applicable, relating to:

restructuring/asset impairment charges1;acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs;gains or losses from the divestiture of businesses;losses from the early extinguishment of debt;non-operating pension costs;amortization expense on acquisition intangibles;changes in last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory reserves;certain income tax events and adjustments;derivative gains/losses;other non-operating income and losses; andcertain other items, if any. 1Restructuring and restructuring-related asset impairment charges are a recurring item as the Company’s restructuring programs usually require several years to fully implement, and the Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency. Although recurring, these charges are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the varying levels of restructuring activity, the inherent imprecision in the estimates used to recognize the impairment of assets, and the wide variety of costs and taxes associated with severance and termination benefits in the countries in which the restructuring actions occur.

The Company’s management believes the exclusion of the amounts related to the above-listed items improves the period-to-period comparability and analysis of the underlying financial performance of the business.

In addition to the “Adjusted” results described above, the Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Net Debt. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding the following: interest expense; interest income; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; non-operating pension costs; net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests; restructuring/asset impairment charges; changes in LIFO inventory reserves; gains/losses from the divestiture of businesses; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; other income; derivative gains/losses; and other non-GAAP adjustments, if any, that may arise from time to time. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation and amortization expense and equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment net sales. Net Debt is defined as the total of the Company’s short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to the closest GAAP measure of segment profitability, segment operating profit as the Company does not calculate net income by segment. Segment operating profit is the measure of segment profit or loss reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280 - “Segment Reporting,” as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Segment results, which are reviewed by the Company’s management to evaluate segment performance, do not include the following: restructuring/asset impairment charges; amortization of acquisition intangibles; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; changes in LIFO inventory reserves; gains/losses from the sale of businesses; gains/losses from derivatives; or certain other items, if any, the exclusion of which the Company believes improves the comparability and analysis of the ongoing operating performance of the business. Accordingly, the term “segment operating profit” is defined as the segment’s portion of “operating profit” excluding those items. All other general corporate expenses have been allocated as operating costs to each of the Company’s reportable segments, except for costs related to discontinued operations.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with, nor are they an alternative for, measures conforming to GAAP, and they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with information to evaluate Sonoco’s operating results in a manner similar to how management evaluates business performance. The Company consistently applies its non-GAAP financial measures presented herein and uses them for internal planning and forecasting purposes, to evaluate its ongoing operations, and to evaluate the ultimate performance of management and each business unit against plans/forecasts. In addition, these same non-GAAP financial measures are used in determining incentive compensation for the entire management team and in providing earnings guidance to the investing community.

Material limitations associated with the use of such measures include that they do not reflect all period costs included in operating expenses and may not be comparable with similarly named financial measures of other companies. Furthermore, the calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures are based on subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that the investor may find material and view differently.

To compensate for any limitations in such non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is useful in evaluating the Company’s results to review both GAAP information, which includes all of the items impacting financial results, and the related non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain elements, as described above. Further, Sonoco management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider any non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Whenever reviewing a non-GAAP financial measure, investors are encouraged to review and consider the related reconciliation to understand how it differs from the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Free Cash Flow

The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure of “Free Cash Flow,” which it defines as cash flow from operations minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures are defined as capital expenditures minus proceeds from the disposition of capital assets. Free Cash Flow may not represent the amount of cash flow available for general discretionary use because it excludes non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt repayments and required settlements of recorded and/or contingent liabilities not reflected in cash flow from operations.

QUARTERLY RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

SAN DIEGO, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encore Capital Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECPG) (“Encore” or the “Company”), an international specialty finance company, announced today that on July 22, 2026 (the “Redemption Notice Date”), it has issued a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to holders of the Company’s 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (CUSIP No. 292554 AP7) (the “Notes”), calling all $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for redemption on September 24, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”). The Company’s redemption right in respect of the Notes arises pursuant to Section 14.07 of the Indenture, dated as of March 3, 2023 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Truist Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as a result of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock having exceeded 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the Redemption Notice Date.

Redemption Process

The redemption price will be payable on the Redemption Date in cash and equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the Redemption Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). For each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Redemption Price will be equal to approximately $1,001. Unless the Company defaults in making payment of the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

For all Notes surrendered in book-entry form, payment of the Redemption Price will be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and all redeemed Notes in book-entry form will be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of DTC.

Right to Convert the Notes

Holders of the Notes may surrender their Notes (or any portion thereof having a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000) for conversion at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 22, 2026 or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, such later date on which the Redemption Price is paid. To convert any Note, the holder must comply with the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. Upon conversion, a holder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, and the Company’s settlement of the conversion obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant conversion date. Any Notes submitted for conversion after they are called for redemption will be settled in cash. Any Notes not converted prior to the applicable deadline will be redeemed for the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date and will thereafter be canceled and cease to be outstanding.

As of the Redemption Notice Date, the conversion rate of the Notes is 15.1763 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $65.89 per share.

The sending of the Redemption Notice to the holders of the Notes constitutes a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” under the Indenture, and therefore the conversion rate is required to be increased in accordance with Section 13.03 of the Indenture for Notes surrendered for conversion during the period beginning on, and including, the Redemption Notice Date, and ending at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 22, 2026 (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”). The conversion rate applicable to such conversions will be increased by 1.0293 additional shares to 16.2056 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $61.71 per share. The conversion rate will remain subject to adjustment in accordance with the Indenture from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events.

Truist Bank is acting as Trustee, paying agent and conversion agent under the Indenture, and its address is 2713 Forest Hills Road, Building 2 - Floor 2, Wilson, North Carolina 27893, Attention: Encore Capital Group – Client Manager – Patrick Giordano.

Holders who have questions or who wish to discuss the redemption may contact the Company’s Investor Relations representative by email at [email protected].

This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the Indenture. The Redemption Notice is being delivered to holders separately in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number either as printed on the notes or as contained in this press release.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the pricing of the Notes in February 2023, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). In connection with the redemption, the Company expects that the capped call transactions will unwind and terminate in full. In connection with any such unwind and termination, the Company would receive from each option counterparty an amount of cash (or shares of the Company’s common stock if agreed with the applicable option counterparty) reflecting the then-current option value of such capped call transaction, as determined pursuant to the terms of such transaction or as otherwise agreed with the Company. The Company expects to enter into bilateral unwind agreements with each option counterparty to unwind and terminate its respective capped call transaction as of or shortly following the Redemption Date, with a termination value determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock over a valuation period expected to end shortly prior to the Redemption Date and payable to the Company on or shortly following the Redemption Date, in each case, subject to extension.

In connection with unwinding and terminating the capped call transactions, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates are expected to unwind various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or sell shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions. This activity may have the effect of decreasing (or reducing the size of any increase in) the market price of the Company’s common stock.

11 Madison Avenue is fully leased after signing an additional nearly 300,000 square feet of office leases from the beginning of 2025 to other AI and technology tenants which include Pinterest, Tempus AI and Clay Labs. SL Green’s One Madison Avenue, adjacent to 11 Madison Avenue, introduced approximately 1.4 million square feet of new office inventory to the Madison Square area and is also fully leased with industry-leading AI and technology tenants including Harvey AI, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, and Sigma Computing.
