UPS překonala odhady zisku i tržeb
UPS UPS
FMP Stock News 88
Original source text
United Parcel Service (UPS - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.69 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.63 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.74 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.68%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this package delivery service would post earnings of $1.65 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.76, delivering a surprise of +6.67%.

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

UPS, which belongs to the Zacks Transportation - Air Freight and Cargo industry, posted revenues of $22.85 billion for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.70%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $21.42 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.

UPS shares have added about 1.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

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

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.74 on $25.52 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.19 on $91.71 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, Transportation - Air Freight and Cargo is currently in the top 43% 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.

GXO Logistics (GXO - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026. The results are expected to be released on November 3.

This contract logistics provider is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.86 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +8.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.1% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

GXO Logistics' revenues are expected to be $3.56 billion, up 4.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Costco zůstává doporučením „držet“ kvůli vysokému ocenění
COST Costco Wholesale
FMP Stock News 88
Original source text
Costco just posted its fifth straight earnings beat and rewarded shareholders with a strong monthly gain, yet its valuation leaves almost no room for anything less than flawless execution. Before adding shares near four figures, here is what the numbers…

Costco (NASDAQ:COST | COST Price Prediction) is a Hold at $1,005.16. The stock has gained 8.93% over the past month after a fifth consecutive quarterly beat, and that rally puts its premium valuation back under the microscope.

Costco runs 939 warehouses across 14 countries and territories, serves 150.4 million cardholders, and sells the Kirkland Signature private label. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $303.15 billion, up 10.14%, with EPS of $20.76. Shares still trade below the $1,094.76 52-week high.

Sticky Memberships and Rising Estimates Power the Bull Case
Renewal rates reached 92.3% in the U.S. and Canada and 89.8% worldwide, while paid executive members grew 9.4% to 42.3 million. Digitally enabled comparable sales rose 19.5%, and free cash flow climbed 19.82% to $9.39 billion.

Analysts keep raising numbers. Fiscal 2027 EPS estimates drew 18 upward revisions versus 4 downward over 30 days, with consensus at $22.8083, roughly 9.9% growth. Costco plans 33 openings in fiscal 2027 and sees a path to roughly 30 new warehouses a year for the next five to ten years. The CFO added there is nothing that “prevents continued leverage if comps remain in the mid-single digits.”

A 48x Multiple Leaves Little Margin for Error
Costco trades at a trailing P/E of 48, a forward P/E of 40, and a PEG ratio of 4.381. That pricing assumes perfect execution. Fourth-quarter EPS included a $0.15 per share nonrecurring tariff refund benefit, and management plans to reinvest most future refunds in prices, which complicates fiscal 2027 comparisons.

Costs are rising too. Capex is expected to reach $7.5 billion in fiscal 2027, the quarterly LIFO charge jumped to $152 million from $43 million, and total paid members grew just 3.8%, a pace management called “probably typical.”

Elite Execution Meets a Full Price Tag
Traffic up 3.3% and record executive penetration rule out a Sell. The valuation and moderating membership growth rule out a Buy. Upside conviction would require faster membership growth from Asia openings or a decline toward the $840.35 52-week low. Comparable sales falling below the mid-single digits ex-gas would shift the call toward Sell. The fiscal first-quarter EPS consensus is $4.9097.

Shares Outpace the S&P 500 as Target Upside Narrows
Shares are currently priced at $1,005.16, against an average analyst target of $1,067.59, meaning 6.2% upside. Targets are only a rough guide and carry no guarantee. Among 39 analysts, ratings break down as:

Strong Buy: 4
Buy: 20
Hold: 13
Sell: 1
Strong Sell: 1

Costco rose 8.93% over the past month while the S&P 500 slipped 0.78%. Year to date, Costco is up 17.08% versus 12.23% for the index. Over one year, the stock gained 8.46%, trailing the S&P 500’s 13%. Beta is 0.87.

Costco Earns a Hold Until Price or Growth Catches Up
At $1,005.16, Costco is a Hold.

The business keeps growing, yet the stock already prices in steady execution. With only 6.2% implied upside to consensus targets, the upside looks thin relative to multiple compression risk.

Over the next two to three quarters, the key signals are core comparable sales ex-gas, membership growth, and gross margin once tariff refunds roll off. A decline toward the 200-day moving average of $969.35 combined with steady comps would improve the valuation picture. The stock is supported by a forward dividend of $5.88 and Costco’s defensive profile.

Costco remains a top-tier retailer whose share price already reflects that quality, so further upside depends on a lower price or faster growth.

AbbVie žádá FDA o schválení etentamigu
ABBV AbbVie
FMP Stock News 95
Original source text
–  Etentamig is a second-generation BCMA-directed bispecific antibody T-cell engager with a clinical profile and dosing schedule that can potentially support treatment across a broad range of settings, including in community-based care
–  In the Phase 3 CERVINO study, etentamig achieved statistically significant improvements in overall response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) versus investigator's choice of standard available therapies
–  Submission underscores AbbVie's ambition to advance a broad multiple myeloma portfolio that addresses disease complexity and supports patients' evolving care goals 

, /PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) today announced the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for etentamig, a second-generation BCMA x CD3 bispecific antibody T-cell engager administered intravenously for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.1

BCMA-directed bispecific antibodies and CAR-T therapies have significantly changed the treatment landscape for people living with multiple myeloma.2 However, their broader adoption may be limited by adverse events such as cytokine release syndrome, infections or neurotoxicity, as well as specialized administration and monitoring requirements.2,3,4 Additionally, as disease relapses, treatment options in later lines of therapy become increasingly limited. Together, these factors highlight the need for additional therapies that may address the biology of the disease and help support effective treatment delivery across diverse care environments.2,3,4

"Multiple myeloma is a chronic blood cancer that can reshape a person's life. Patients deserve therapeutic options that are not only effective, but also support the realities of when, where and how they receive treatment," said Daejin Abidoye, M.D., vice president and therapeutic area head, oncology, solid tumor and hematology, AbbVie. "This milestone brings us a step closer to potentially delivering a novel, patient-centered treatment option with a manageable safety profile and the convenience of a monthly dosing schedule that can help meet the needs of people living with multiple myeloma wherever they receive care."

The submission is supported by results from the global, Phase 3, multicenter, randomized CERVINO study evaluating etentamig versus investigator's choice of standard available therapies (SAT) in patients with triple-class exposed relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who had received at least two prior lines of therapy.5 Topline results were announced earlier this year.

The findings indicated that etentamig achieved statistically significant improvements across the dual primary endpoints of overall response rate (74.0% vs. 45.7%) and progression-free survival (60% risk reduction) versus SAT.5The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported in the etentamig arm of the study (≥ 25%) included cytokine release syndrome (CRS), hypogammaglobulinemia, neutropenia and anemia.5Discontinuations related to TEAEs were low for etentamig vs. SAT (3.6% vs. 14%).5With monthly dosing from initiation, etentamig demonstrated a potentially differentiated safety profile.5Among patients receiving a single step-up dose, the incidence of CRS was low (28.3%), all being grade 1 (23.9%) or grade 2 (4.4%) and no grade 3 or higher events were reported.5 One patient experienced an immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) event (grade 1).Among all etentamig patients, grade 3/4 infections occurred in 27.7% versus 19.2% in patients receiving SAT.5 Importantly, grade 5 infections were observed less frequently in patients treated with etentamig (1.5%) versus SAT (3.1%).About Multiple Myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a chronic blood cancer that affects white blood cells, called plasma cells, in the bone marrow.6 It causes these cells to grow and crowd out healthy cells that help fight infection.6 In 2025, an estimated 36,000 people were diagnosed with multiple myeloma in the U.S.7 The disease commonly presents with non-specific symptoms that may resemble other conditions, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment.8 People living with multiple myeloma and their caregivers often face substantial physical, emotional and economic burden.9

About the Phase 3 CERVINO Study5

The Phase 3 CERVINO trial (NCT06158841) is a global, multicenter, randomized, open-label study evaluating etentamig versus investigator's choice of standard available therapies (SAT) in triple-class exposed patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have received at least two prior lines of therapy, including exposure to a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. A total of 393 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive etentamig or SAT, including carfilzomib plus dexamethasone, elotuzumab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone, or selinexor plus bortezomib and dexamethasone. Etentamig was administered using an optimized dosing strategy that incorporates a single step-up dose followed by monthly (Q4W) dosing from initiation.

The dual primary endpoints are overall response rate and progression-free survival. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival, depth of response, measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity, disease symptoms and physical functioning.

About Etentamig

Etentamig (ABBV-383) is an investigational, second-generation BCMA x CD3 bispecific antibody T-cell engager designed to combine meaningful anti-myeloma activity with a differentiated treatment experience for patients. Etentamig is composed of a low-affinity CD3 binding domain, designed to reduce cytokine release syndrome and infections, a high-affinity bivalent BCMA-binding domain, and retained FcRn binding enabling Q4W dosing after a single step-up dose. The direct connection between these structural findings and clinical effects is currently being investigated.10

BCMA is highly expressed on the surface of malignant plasma cells in multiple myeloma, making it a key target for therapy. BCMA plays a crucial role in the survival of myeloma cells by promoting their growth and inhibiting their apoptosis (programmed cell death).11

Several clinical studies are evaluating the potential of etentamig across diverse patient populations and treatment settings. To learn more about AbbVie's ongoing etentamig clinical trials, please visit clinicaltrials.gov.

Poptávka humanoidních robotů po DRAM má do roku 2030 vzrůst 20krát
MU Micron Technology
FMP Stock News 84
Original source text
Counterpoint Research sees humanoid robot memory demand exploding this decade, but Elon Musk just cut memory on his own robot chips to hit production targets, and Micron investors are left wondering whether the 2030 forecast translates into revenue they can…

Elon Musk needed two words to dismiss a skeptic on X on October 26, 2026: “Silly analysis.” The Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA | TSLA Price Prediction) chief executive posted the reply at 1:32 p.m. ET. It drew more than 1 million views and brought a memory forecast from earlier in the month back into discussion.

Counterpoint Research released that forecast on October 11, projecting that demand for DRAM from humanoid robots will rise about 20 times by 2030. DRAM is the working memory that holds data while a processor is using it.

Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) rose 2.98%, or $26.15, to $903.70 and traded at $913.25 after hours. Tesla gained 5.21% to $391.62 after Barclays (NYSE:BCS) upgraded it to Overweight with a $450 target, citing hopes for a SpaceX merger. For Micron shareholders, a very high growth rate on a small base can still barely register at a company that reported $54.23 billion of revenue in a single quarter.

What the Counterpoint Forecast Actually Measures Counterpoint Research projects humanoid DRAM demand rising from about 8,300 terabits in 2026 to about 172,000 terabits in 2030, an increase of 20.7x. Counterpoint Research also expects average DRAM per robot to grow from 19 gigabytes to 39 gigabytes.

Most of the growth therefore comes from building many more robots, each carrying somewhat more memory. The forecast covers DRAM only and leaves out storage chips.

X user @zephyr_z9 replied that the forecast implies annual production of about 550,000 humanoids and total robot DRAM demand of 21.5 petabytes. @zephyr_z9 put that at about 0.04% of roughly 48 exabytes of DRAM produced in 2026.

Musk’s Own Chip Cuts Weaken His Post Musk wrote that “Robot RAM needs will exceed everything else on Earth, as you need the robots to be on physical substates in order to shape atoms.” Musk added that “~100% of SI will be deep space compute,” which puts superintelligence memory off-planet.

On October 1, Musk said Tesla had cut memory on its AI5 chip in half, to 72GB, and on AI6 by a third, to 144GB. He called the cuts “the only way to get enough volume for Optimus production.” The company most eager to build humanoids is reducing memory per unit to reach volume, which shows that cost and supply limit how much memory each robot carries.

Micron’s Robot Upside Arrives Late in the Decade Micron’s chief executive, Sanjay Mehrotra, said on the September 30 earnings call that “humanoid robots will also require similar amounts of memory and storage as autonomous vehicles.” Highly autonomous vehicles typically carry more than 200GB of memory, well above Counterpoint’s per-robot figure for 2030.

Micron has begun sampling LPDDR6, a low-power DRAM, to physical AI customers. Low power draw matters in battery-powered machines. SK hynix is developing low-power memory for a major robotics computing platform, so Micron will have to compete for these orders.

Micron’s Automotive and Embedded segment, the business closest to robotics, produced $6.82 billion of fiscal fourth-quarter revenue, a small share of the total that robot orders would take years to move.

What Micron Investors Need to Watch Next Micron’s data center business supports the investment case, and robot demand is likely a long-dated addition on top of it. Micron forecast fiscal first-quarter 2027 revenue to $61.5 billion, and executives said more than 75% of shipments are committed for the year. The stock has fallen 16.49% over the past month.

The main risk is the memory cycle, because new clean rooms coming online in late ’28 and beyond could move pricing more than robot demand can offset.

Tesla offers less direct exposure to this theme because Optimus has not yet sold robots at commercial scale. Micron’s next report is estimated for December 16, though the company has not confirmed the date. If management names robot design wins at that report, the argument gains support. If it does not, Counterpoint Research’s 20-times robot DRAM forecast likely remains a 2030 story rather than a near-term revenue driver.

Key Intuitive Surgical News Here are the key news stories impacting Intuitive Surgical this week:

Positive Sentiment: Analysts’ earnings estimates for ISRG are moving higher, suggesting improving expectations for the company’s near-term results and potentially supporting further gains. Earnings Estimates Moving Higher for Intuitive Surgical Positive Sentiment: Recent research continues to highlight Intuitive Surgical’s growth characteristics, including the potential for its robotic-surgery franchise to outperform the broader market over time. Intuitive Surgical Is an Incredible Growth Stock Neutral Sentiment: Intuitive Surgical remains a heavily watched stock, which may increase trading interest but does not by itself indicate a change in the company’s fundamentals. Intuitive Surgical Is a Trending Stock Neutral Sentiment: Reported short interest of zero shares and a zero-day days-to-cover ratio appears inconsistent with the description of a “significant increase,” making the data of limited value for gauging investor positioning. Negative Sentiment: Multiple insiders sold shares under pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plans. Director Gary Guthart sold about $9.1 million of stock, while other executives and a director sold additional shares. The transactions were planned and Guthart retained more than 1.2 million shares, but the sales may still create modest sentiment pressure. Negative Sentiment: Investors remain sensitive to valuation risk: with a high earnings multiple, ISRG may need continued strong growth and upward estimate revisions to justify its price.

Medtronic zvýšil dividendu na 0,72 USD
MDT Medtronic
FMP Stock News 95
Original source text
Medtronic just extended a nearly half-century dividend streak, but its raise barely outpaces inflation while rivals like Abbott and J&J grow payouts far faster. Whether explosive growth in cardiac ablation can close that gap is the real question for income…

Medtronic (NYSE:MDT | MDT Price Prediction) raised its quarterly dividend to $0.72 per share from $0.71, extending its run to 49 consecutive years of increases. The raise works out to about 1.4%. It lands as the company posts its strongest growth in years and finishes splitting off its diabetes unit. For retirees, the question is whether a 2.95% yield earns a spot in an income portfolio.

A Small Raise on a Long Streak Medtronic declared the higher payout on June 3, 2026, and kept it at $0.72 for the October 16, 2026 payment. That sets the forward annual dividend at $2.88. The pattern is steady but slow: $0.68 in 2022, $0.69 in 2023, $0.70 in 2024.

Peers raise faster. Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) raised its quarterly payout to $0.63 from $0.59, roughly 6.8%, and has increased it for 54 consecutive years. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) lifted its dividend 3.1% to $1.34 and has a 64-year run. Medtronic is nearing the 50-year Dividend King threshold.

Cash Flow Covers the Check With Room to Spare The payout ratio is the share of profit a company hands to shareholders. Medtronic raised its fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.94-$6.00, so the $2.88 dividend takes about 48% of expected earnings. In the first quarter, free cash flow (cash left after capital spending) reached $1.29 billion, up 120.89%, against $921 million in dividends paid. Management pointed to a strong balance sheet and a 70% cash-conversion rate, with a path to 80%.

Cardiac Ablation Is Powering the Growth Story First-quarter revenue rose 13.7% to $9.76 billion, and adjusted EPS of $1.45 exceeded the $1.3874 consensus. An extra fiscal week added about $570 million. Cardiac Ablation Solutions grew 88% on the Affera system and Sphere-9 catheter. CEO Geoff Martha said:

“We’re only at the beginning for CAS. With a differentiated platform, a growing installed base, expanding indications and a strong innovation pipeline, we are well positioned to treat more patients.”

J&J’s electrophysiology sales grew just 4.4% in its latest quarter. Martha framed the momentum as broad:

“What gives us confidence is not simply the strength of the quarter, but importantly, the breadth of performance across our businesses.”

MiniMed Split and Margin Pressure Bring Risks Medtronic completed the separation of MiniMed Group (NASDAQ:MMED) on October 15, 2026. Management expected the exit to lift operating margin about 100 basis points while cutting revenue growth about 20 basis points. Current guidance assumed Diabetes stayed in through fiscal year-end, so expect revisions at the December 10 and 11th investor day. Tariffs cost roughly $185 million in fiscal 2026, and shares remain down 10.09% over five years.

Verdict: A Secure Dividend That Grows Slowly At $94.33, Medtronic trades at 14x forward earnings, with a beta of 0.567 indicating below-market volatility. Analysts’ average target is $104.62. The dividend looks well covered and durable, which suits retirees seeking stability. It trails Abbott and J&J, so the stronger case rests on ablation-driven earnings growth that could support bigger increases ahead.

Broadcom vydal 89 záplat pro zranitelnosti v TrueSource Spring Enterprise
AVGO Broadcom
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops, and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today shipped fixes for 89 novel vulnerabilities in TrueSource Spring Enterprise to its critical infrastructure customers and others who qualify for early access, ahead of public disclosure. This brings the total number of vulnerabilities fixed across TrueSource offerings to 408.

Patches only secure an environment once deployed. To close that gap, Spring Enterprise adds TrueSource Hub to help enterprises assess application exposure, prioritize critical fixes, and track status. Additionally, build plugins for Application Advisor automate patching within existing Maven or Gradle workflows, generating update pull requests to streamline merging approved fixes.

A sustained investment in open source security

Building on its June 2026 open source commitment, Broadcom uses Frontier AI scanning and advanced research to find and fix vulnerabilities. TrueSource Spring Enterprise delivers simultaneous fixes across all supported versions, giving legacy releases immediate access, while providing security-only patches for current versions to speed deployment. Detailed vulnerability information will be published when fixes reach the community and CVEs are issued.

Scale & Impact: Reaching a massive footprint of downloads of Spring and Reactor libraries in 2026, Broadcom engineers fixed 406 new vulnerabilities, delivered over 1,090 fixes (including 798 backports), reviewed 2,600+ reports, and filtered out 3,000+ false alarms.

Key High/Critical Broadcom Fixes Earlier This Year:

Spring (June): Fixed a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-41855, CVSS 8.1) across four supported lines simultaneously.Netty Dependency (June): Discovered a DNS redirection vulnerability (CVE-2026-47691, CVSS 10.0) and addressed with the community maintainers and fixed for all supported Spring versions.RabbitMQ (July): Fixed a credential forgery vulnerability (CVE-2026-67404, CVSS 9.2) across four supported lines at once. “Security isn’t a one-time initiative; it’s an ongoing commitment. In June, we pledged to identify and resolve Spring vulnerabilities faster than ever, and today’s release demonstrates our continued momentum,” said Purnima Padmanabhan, general manager, Tanzu Division, Broadcom. “Our customers receive critical fixes early in a deployable format, with complete visibility into where patches belong and confirmation when they land. Crucially, fixes are contributed back to the open source community—because open source remains resilient only when businesses actively invest in ecosystem health.”

See it, prioritize it, fix it, prove it

Most enterprises know they run open source. Few can say exactly which applications run which versions, which are out of support, and which need a fix published this morning. TrueSource Spring Enterprise closes that gap with four capabilities that work together:

Assess every repository. TrueSource Hub connects to an organization’s code repositories and shows the security state of the open source components every application depends on, across Java, Python, and JavaScript libraries, container images, and data services, along with its patch status, in a live view rather than a one-time audit.Prioritize the fixes that matter. When Broadcom publishes a fix, Hub shows which applications need it and how exposed they are, so security and engineering leaders can direct effort to the applications that carry the most risk. TrueSource works with the vulnerability scanners that teams already use. Snyk, for example, is actively partnering with Broadcom so that customers can recognize Broadcom-patched Spring versions as fixed, with the goal of reducing unnecessary alerts and keeping teams from chasing alerts for already-resolved vulnerabilities.Apply patches in the build. For Spring applications, Spring Application Advisor plugins integrate directly into existing Maven and Gradle builds. Fixes and version upgrades arrive as reviewable pull requests built on deterministic recipes verified by TrueSource engineers. Additionally, the new integration with JFrog Zero-Touch Remediation delivers instant protection. By automatically delivering verified, backward-compatible TrueSource fixes to builds, security teams can stop waiting on manual pull requests and dependency overrides - keeping software secure with zero friction.Prove it through pipeline audits. Every build records its source and the libraries it contains and reports that to TrueSource, so security leaders can show their boards and leadership exactly which libraries shipped and where each fix was applied. The TrueSource portfolio

TrueSource by Broadcom is Broadcom’s portfolio of enterprise open source software, verified by engineers and delivered from one trusted source. It has three offerings:

TrueSource Spring Enterprise for the Spring framework Broadcom maintains, with CVE-only patches, the security fix and nothing else, delivered for every supported version at the same time so teams can apply them without an upgrade, plus the tooling announced today.TrueSource Trusted Artifacts for verified open source libraries in Java, Python, and JavaScript, and the Secure Images catalog of container images, covering the middleware, runtimes, and backing services applications depend on.TrueSource Data Services for the data engines applications rely on: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, and RabbitMQ, with self-service provisioning, fleet management across environments, and enterprise support for the engines themselves, including prescribed high availability and disaster recovery. Availability

TrueSource Spring Enterprise, featuring TrueSource Hub and build plugins, is generally available today. Its 87 fixes are accessible immediately to early-access and critical infrastructure customers, with public CVE release to follow. TrueSource Spring Enterprise, Trusted Artifacts, and Data Services are offered via tiered site licensing. Learn more at https://www.broadcom.com/products/software/truesource.

DA Davidson zvýšila doporučení pro společnost Broadcom na „koupit“
AVGO Broadcom
FMP Stock News 84

Anthropic’s newly public IPO filing has made Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO | AVGO Price Prediction) the chip name most tightly bound to the AI lab’s compute expansion, and a fresh analyst upgrade now puts a higher price target on that link. Broadcom stock is at $339.90, up 3% in early trade, a move that adds new weight to its custom chip business. The upgrade and a stronger semiconductor group are both feeding the gain.

Meanwhile, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares are at $218.41, up 1%, a smaller advance that leaves Broadcom stock out in front. Chip stocks are broadly stronger, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) up 2%. Large-cap tech is trailing that pace, as the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) is up 0.6%.

DA Davidson Upgrade Puts a Price on Anthropic Ties
DA Davidson upgraded Broadcom stock to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target to $400, arguing that Anthropic’s IPO filing signals the AI spending cycle still has room to run. Under that thesis, Anthropic raises capital first and OpenAI follows, giving Broadcom the funding pipeline it needs to meet its growth expectations. Anthropic’s IPO registration, made public a day before the upgrade, describes Broadcom as both a supplier and a lessor of its AI computing equipment under a non-cancelable lease.

Those leases run five years and give Anthropic access to compute capacity built on tensor processing units (TPUs), with a portion online in 2026 and more slated to start in 2027. In April, Anthropic also deposited cash into a restricted account for Broadcom’s benefit to secure compute capacity. Such terms ground the upgrade in signed, collateralized commitments that run well beyond a single quarter.

Broadcom’s Concentrated Model Sets It Apart From NVIDIA and AMD
Broadcom designs custom AI accelerators for a small number of large customers alongside its networking chips, so its growth turns on a few buyers’ spending plans. NVIDIA sells general-purpose AI processors and systems to a broad customer base, and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) offers chips and AI accelerators across data center and PC markets. Spreading revenue across many buyers gives NVIDIA and AMD a buffer when any single customer slows its spending. AMD shares are up 2% to $544.

Broadcom’s recent results show how far that concentration has already carried the company. In Q3 FY2026, Broadcom’s AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.7 billion, up 221% year over year, and its Q4 FY2026 outlook calls for $21.7 billion. On the September earnings call, the company put Anthropic on track to become its largest custom accelerator customer in 2027.

However, so much of Broadcom’s growth rides on customers whose funding isn’t yet secured, as Anthropic’s lease obligations can accelerate on certain unresolved payment or performance defaults, which ties the arrangement to the lab’s ability to stay current. For NVIDIA, a broad customer base limits its dependence on any single lab’s capital raise, though that same breadth leaves it with less direct leverage to Anthropic’s listing.

Broadcom’s Upside Hinges on Anthropic’s Listing
Broadcom now faces the question of whether Anthropic completes its IPO and converts the filing into fresh capital. OpenAI’s fundraising stands behind that step, since the upgrade’s thesis counts on both companies raising money.

Anyone sizing up their exposure should adjust their holdings carefully given how much of Broadcom’s growth rides on a few customers whose funding is still being raised. Measuring a position with that concentration in mind, rather than on the upgrade alone, can mitigate the risk of slower-than-anticipated AI spending.

Edible Garden získala sváteční program dodávek bylinek pro Kroger
KR Kroger Company
FMP Stock News 84
Original source text
BELVIDERE, NJ, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), organic and sustainable produce, and developer of the Zero-Waste Inspired® mission and Farm-to-Formula® platform, today announced that it has secured a holiday fresh herb program with Kroger, one of the nation's largest grocery retailers, for the upcoming Thanksgiving through New Year holiday season. The program represents another step in Edible Garden's continued expansion with major national retailers, further strengthening its retail presence and supporting its strategy of capturing a greater share of the fresh herb market.

The Thanksgiving through New Year period is one of the most important selling seasons for fresh herbs, as holiday cooking drives increased demand for popular culinary ingredients such as rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, and poultry-blend herbs. The Kroger program, together with previously announced holiday initiatives with Walmart and Target, positions Edible Garden to capitalize on increased seasonal demand, drive additional sales, and further expand its presence among the nation's leading retailers.

“This holiday program with Kroger represents another significant commercial win for Edible Garden and an important milestone for our Edible Garden Heartland operation in Grand Rapids, Michigan,” said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. “Our Heartland facility was strategically established to serve leading retailers throughout the Midwest, and this program demonstrates how our investment in regional production and distribution capabilities is translating into meaningful commercial opportunities. Kroger's decision to include Edible Garden in its holiday program reinforces the confidence major retailers are placing in our ability to deliver fresh, high-quality herbs reliably and at scale during periods of peak demand. Beyond the immediate revenue opportunity, we believe this program will increase utilization of our Heartland facility, strengthen our presence in the Midwest, and advance our Zero-Waste Inspired® mission by bringing locally grown products closer to consumers, while providing a foundation for continued growth.”

Edible Garden plans to support the Kroger holiday program through its established growing and distribution network, utilizing its proprietary GreenThumb 2.0 technology to align production with seasonal demand. By leveraging its existing infrastructure, the Company aims to efficiently manage increased order volumes, capitalize on new sales opportunities, and strengthen its position in the fresh produce market.

Ares Capital (ARCC - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.46 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.48 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.5 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -4.17%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this private equity firm would post earnings of $0.47 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.47, delivering no surprise.

Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.

Ares Capital, which belongs to the Zacks Financial - SBIC & Commercial Industry industry, posted revenues of $763 million for the quarter ended September 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.2%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $782 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.

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

Ares Capital shares have lost about 8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

What's Next for Ares Capital?While Ares Capital 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 Ares Capital was favorable. 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 #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform 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 $0.49 on $793.81 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.91 on $3.1 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, Financial - SBIC & Commercial Industry 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, Goldman Sachs BDC (GSBD - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026. The results are expected to be released on November 5.

This specialty finance company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.37 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -7.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.6% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Goldman Sachs BDC's revenues are expected to be $86.16 million, down 5.9% from the year-ago quarter.

"Sherwin-Williams third quarter performance demonstrated the resilience of our Company and the strength of our strategy in a challenging demand environment. Despite muted underlying market volumes, we continued to win new customers, increase share-of-wallet and deliver sales growth across all three reportable segments, at or above our guidance, supported by the differentiated value and productivity our solutions deliver to customers. At the same time, we took disciplined pricing and cost actions to address inflationary pressures, thoughtfully timed with our customers in mind," said Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Heidi G. Petz. "Gross margin was primarily impacted in the quarter by higher raw material and supply chain related costs and by mix, including dilution from Suvinil and higher growth in lower margin reportable segments. Excluding the dilutive impact of the Suvinil acquisition, our year-to-date gross margin is flat compared to the prior year. SG&A as a percent of sales decreased in the quarter, as we continue to identify and implement efficiencies throughout our Company. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share both grew over last year's third quarter levels. We returned $749.0 million to shareholders in the quarter through dividends and share repurchases. Our team remains focused on serving our customers and controlling what we can control to continue top and bottom-line growth."

Consolidated Net sales increased primarily due to higher Net sales in all reportable segments, inclusive of the October 2025 acquisition of Suvinil, and selling price increases, which impacted Net sales by a mid-single digit percentage.

Income before income taxes increased slightly due to an increase in Net sales, partially offset by higher raw material and supply chain related costs, incremental selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses associated with Suvinil and higher costs in the Administrative function related to additional interest expense attributable to an increase in debt.

Diluted net income per share included a charge of $0.21 and $0.20 per share for Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Diluted net income per share also included a charge of $0.04 per share related to severance and other restructuring expenses in both the third quarter of 2026 and 2025.

Same-store sales represents Net sales from stores open more than twelve calendar months.

Net sales in PSG increased primarily due to selling price increases, which impacted Net sales by a mid-single digit percentage, as well as low-single digit percentage sales volume growth. Net sales increased in all professional customer end markets, led by a double digit percentage increase in protective and marine, a high-single digit percentage increase in commercial and a mid-single digit percentage increase in residential repaint. Segment profit increased primarily due to higher Net sales, partially offset by higher raw material and supply chain related costs and increased costs to support higher sales, including investments in additional sales reps and stores.

Adjusted segment profit equals Segment profit excluding the impact of Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense and severance and other restructuring expenses. In CBG, Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense was $15.5 million and $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and severance and other restructuring expenses were $9.7 million and $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Net sales in CBG increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of Suvinil, favorable foreign currency translation and a positive shift in mix, partially offset by soft demand in North America. Segment profit decreased primarily due to higher raw material and supply chain costs, incremental SG&A expenses associated with the Suvinil acquisition and unfavorable foreign currency transaction gains and losses, partially offset by higher Net sales. Adjusted segment profit decreased for these same reasons.

Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 170 and 200 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Severance and other restructuring expenses reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 100 and 90 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Adjusted segment profit equals Segment profit excluding the impact of Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense and severance and other restructuring expenses. In PCG, Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense was $49.8 million and $49.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and severance and other restructuring expenses were $3.7 million and $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Net sales in PCG increased primarily due to selling price increases, which impacted Net sales by a mid-single digit percentage, and low-single digit percentage sales volume growth. Net sales increased in all businesses, led by General Industrial, Packaging and Coil, which each increased by a double digit percentage, and Industrial Wood and Automotive Refinish, which each increased by a low-single digit percentage. Segment profit increased primarily due to higher Net sales, partially offset by higher raw material and supply chain related costs and an increase in employee-related costs to support higher sales. Adjusted segment profit increased for these same reasons, including a slight decrease in the expenses associated with targeted restructuring actions in the third quarter of 2026.

Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 260 and 290 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Severance and other restructuring expenses reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 20 and 30 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

The Company generated $2.59 billion in Net operating cash and returned cash of $2.98 billion to our shareholders in the form of dividends and repurchases of 7.1 million shares of its common stock during the first nine months of 2026. At September 30, 2026, the Company had remaining authorization to purchase 22.5 million shares of its common stock through open market purchases.

"Customer sentiment and the leading indicators we track point to muted demand over the remainder of the year and into 2027. As we navigate this environment, our focus remains clear: win in the marketplace, serve our customers, offset inflation, reduce costs and continue to deliver profitable growth and shareholder value," said Ms. Petz.

"Against this backdrop, we expect fourth quarter 2026 consolidated Net sales to increase by a mid-single digit percentage compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, resulting in us maintaining our full year 2026 sales guidance where consolidated Net sales are expected to be up a mid to high-single digit percentage compared to full year 2025. Diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $10.92 to $11.22 per share, including acquisition-related amortization expense of $0.82 per share and severance and other restructuring expenses of $0.11 per share, compared to $10.26 per share in 2025. Full year 2026 adjusted diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $11.85 to $12.15 per share compared to $11.43 per share in 2025. We remain highly confident in our ability to deliver through current conditions while building an even stronger Sherwin-Williams for the future."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management of the Company utilizes certain financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) to analyze and manage the performance of the business. Management provides non-GAAP information in reporting its financial results to give investors additional data to evaluate the Company's operations. Management does not, nor does it suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or in substitution for, financial information prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Management believes that investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance is enhanced by the disclosure of diluted net income per share excluding Valspar acquisition-related amortization and certain other adjustments. Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense is excluded from diluted net income per share due to its significance as a result of the purchase price assigned to finite-lived intangible assets at the date of acquisition and the related impact on underlying business performance and trends. While these intangible assets contribute to the Company's revenue generation, the related revenue is not excluded. This adjusted diluted earnings per share measurement is not in accordance with US GAAP. It should not be considered a substitute for diluted earnings per share computed in accordance with US GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following tables reconcile diluted net income per share computed in accordance with US GAAP to adjusted diluted net income per share.

Management believes that investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance is enhanced by the disclosure of EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Net income before Interest expense, Income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain adjustments that management further believes enhances investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance. The reader is cautioned that the Company's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be compared to other entities unknowingly. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to Net income as an indicator of operating performance. The following table reconciles Net income computed in accordance with US GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable.

FortiLink SASE service brings cloud-delivered security and centralized management to wired and wireless devices  | Source: Fortinet, Inc.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced the FortiLink SASE Service, giving organizations a simpler way to secure small branch office, remote facilities, and other distributed locations without requiring a dedicated on-site firewall. By connecting local networks to FortiSASE, organizations can protect and manage wired and wireless devices through a simplified, cloud-delivered service while managing networking and security from a single console.

“Organizations need flexibility in how they secure distributed locations, particularly where dedicated security infrastructure or agents may not be practical,” said Anthony James, EVP of Marketing at Fortinet. “By extending FortiSASE to local networks, we're giving organizations a simpler way to protect users and devices while maintaining consistent security and centralized control.”

Simplifying Security Across Distributed Locations
Organizations operating small branch offices, remote facilities, and temporary sites often need to secure a mix of employee devices, printers, cameras, and IoT equipment with limited on-site IT resources. Many of these devices cannot run traditional endpoint security agents, while deploying dedicated firewalls at every location can introduce additional cost and complexity.

The FortiLink SASE Service addresses these challenges by connecting local networks to FortiSASE through supported Fortinet Wi-Fi access points and Ethernet switches. This gives organizations the flexibility to extend consistent security across distributed locations without requiring an on-site FortiGate firewall, while centralizing traffic inspection, policy enforcement, and management. Key benefits include:

Protect more devices: Secure wired and wireless devices, including those that cannot run FortiClient, through consistent cloud-delivered securitySimplify deployment: Connect entire LAN environments to FortiSASE without requiring endpoint agents on every device or dedicated security appliance at each locationCentralize management: Manage supported networking devices and security policies through a single console, reducing operational complexity across distributed environments
A Flexible Approach to Securing the Thin Edge
Built on Fortinet's unified networking and security architecture, the FortiLink SASE Service delivers consistent protection beyond individual endpoints to entire microbranch environments, giving organizations a simpler, scalable approach to securing distributed operations.

PNR Pentair
FMP Stock News 85
Original source text
Pentair plc (PNR - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.18 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.07 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.24 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +10.28%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $1.12 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.14, delivering a surprise of +1.79%.

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

Pentair, which belongs to the Zacks Waste Removal Services industry, posted revenues of $976.4 million for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.33%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.02 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.

Pentair shares have lost about 47% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

What's Next for Pentair?While Pentair 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 Pentair 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 $1.21 on $1.06 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.63 on $3.97 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, Waste Removal Services is currently in the top 40% 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.

GFL Environmental Inc. (GFL - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026. The results are expected to be released on October 28.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.20 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +17.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 9.9% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

GFL Environmental Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $1.49 billion, up 20.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Broadcom Lands Massive $63 Billion AI Financing Deal After Tense Bank Talks Summary

Broadcom shares advanced after lenders backed a $63 billion financing package designed to fund AI hardware that Anthropic will lease

Broadcom AVGO shares rose 1.5% early Tuesday trading after a $63 billion financing deal to fund artificial intelligence equipment for Anthropic moved forward.

The financing will allow a newly formed special-purpose vehicle to purchase Broadcom's AI accelerators and networking equipment, then lease the hardware to Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI assistant. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027 under an existing computing-capacity agreement.

Bank of America BAC, Citigroup (C) and Morgan Stanley MS are arranging the senior, first-lien loans, while Blackstone (BX) will provide the committed second-lien financing. Broadcom will offer residual-value support for the senior portion, helping protect lenders if the equipment loses value.

The deal followed weeks of negotiations, with some lenders reportedly questioning whether the returns justified the risks. Broadcom Chief Executive Hock Tan held weekend discussions with bank executives and agreed to higher borrowing costs to secure their participation, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The agreement highlights how major AI developers are using debt financing to secure computing capacity as demand for advanced chips grows. Anthropic also filed for an initial public offering on Monday, adding another major funding milestone to its expansion plans.

FMP Stock News 94
Original source text
FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company, today announced a major milestone in the development of its IQ® Solid-State Transformer (IQ SST), successfully demonstrating 13.8 kV AC to 800 VDC conversion at its research and development lab in Austin, Texas. The test system consisted of 132 power modules, with 44 connected in series on each of three phases, operating together as a single system. The system maintained a stable 800 VDC output through load steps simulating the fast-changing demands of AI compute racks.

"Over the past 20 years, we've built and shipped nearly 90 million microinverters, gaining extensive experience in designing and manufacturing reliable power electronics,” said Raghu Belur, co-founder and chief product officer at Enphase Energy. "IQ SST brings that same approach to AI data centers, moving us closer to delivering power more efficiently to AI compute racks."

By converting medium-voltage AC directly to 800 VDC, IQ SST is designed to eliminate multiple conversion stages in conventional data center power architectures, reducing conversion losses and making more power available for AI compute.

In the demonstration, each power module handled a few hundred volts, so no single module saw the full 13.8 kV. Enphase's distributed controls maintained balanced voltage sharing across all 132 modules and coordinated their response to rapid load changes, keeping the output within specification. Redundancy is also built into the architecture. IQ SST is designed to continue operating if an individual power module fails.

"The system performed exactly as designed," said Hans van Antwerpen, chief technology officer at Enphase Energy. "All 132 modules shared the voltage evenly, and the 800 V output held steady through every load step. The architecture scales by adding power modules in series, so 13.8 kV gives us a clear path to 34.5 kV."

Each 5.5 kW-rated power module combines gallium nitride (GaN) power switching, Enphase's fifth-generation Kestrel ASIC, and a proprietary high-frequency transformer developed by Enphase's in-house magnetics team. The modules use similar components and manufacturing processes to those used in Enphase IQ Microinverters, and the first IQ SST power modules are already being built at Enphase's manufacturing facility in Arlington, Texas.

Building on this achievement, Enphase plans to extend the demonstration to 34.5 kV in the coming weeks, leveraging the scalability of its modular architecture. We expect to demonstrate full-system IQ SST racks operating at megawatt scale and rated power before the end of 2026, with customer pilots planned for 2027. To learn more about IQ SST, visit the Enphase website.

Travel + Leisure překonala odhady EPS i tržeb
TNL Travel + Leisure
FMP Stock News 85
Original source text
Travel + Leisure Co. (TNL - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.21 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.04 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.8 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +8.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $1.93 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.88, delivering a surprise of -2.59%.

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

Travel Leisure Co., which belongs to the Zacks Leisure and Recreation Services industry, posted revenues of $1.1 billion for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.09%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.04 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.

Travel Leisure Co. shares have lost about 7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

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

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.23 on $1.08 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.47 on $4.2 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, Leisure and Recreation Services is currently in the bottom 39% 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.

Giftify, Inc. (GIFT - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.02 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +75%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Giftify, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $22.01 million, up 17.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Watsco is the largest distributor in the highly fragmented North American HVAC/R market. Since entering distribution in 1989, Watsco has achieved a 17% compounded annual total shareholder return through a combination of organic growth, driven by the Company’s industry-leading technology platforms, and the acquisition of 74 market-leading businesses that have expanded scale, density, OEM relationships and customers.

The Granite Group is a large and growing distributor of HVAC and plumbing products serving approximately 11,000 customers from 82 locations in the Northeast. The Granite Group marks the fourth business acquired by Watsco that serves dual-trade HVAC/plumbing contractors (currently 112 locations out of Watsco’s 804 locations offer both HVAC and plumbing products). Watsco’s balance sheet remains solid, enabling incremental investments in growth and the Company’s industry-leading technology platforms. Today, more than 73,000 contractors and technicians engage with the Company digitally, empowering them to integrate Watsco’s innovations into their daily operations. The Company is also introducing AI-driven initiatives to leverage Watsco’s extensive data assets and enrich the customer experience. The Company believes its technology ecosystem offers a durable and widening competitive advantage. Importantly, digitally-enabled customers continue to outperform broader industry and customer metrics, strengthening Watsco’s leadership position in the highly fragmented $74 billion HVAC/R distribution landscape.

Third quarter sales also reflect $78 million in sales from the acquired locations of Jackson Supply, a 16% increase over the comparable prior-year period.

Third quarter gross margin was impacted by customer mix (larger versus smaller customers), end-market mix (replacement versus residential new construction), the timing and lower magnitude OEM pricing actions in 2026 versus 2025 and the differing growth rate of equipment versus non-equipment products. The Company believes third quarter 2026 gross margin is also more in-line with historical seasonality and year to date gross margin levels are reflective of current market conditions (including more conventional OEM pricing actions). The Company further believes that its ongoing investments in technology, pricing optimization and non-equipment growth are supportive of long-term margin objectives.

Albert H. Nahmad, Chairman and CEO said: “Third quarter results and early fourth quarter sales trends are indicative of continued improvement in end-market demand. We are encouraged to see residential unit volumes return to growth and steadily improve throughout the season. Our technology-enabled customers also continue to outperform the broader contractor community. Looking ahead, Watsco today is a meaningfully larger company, having added 107 locations and $730 million in annualized revenue to our network through the acquisitions of Jackson and Granite. Our long-range objectives for sales, margin and cash flow generation remain fully intact.”

Mr. Nahmad added: “We welcome Jackson Supply and The Granite Group to the Watsco family, both high-performing distributors in their respective markets. Jackson Supply had a terrific quarter as part of Watsco, and we are excited that The Granite Group offers extended opportunities for us to expand into the growing community of HVAC and plumbing contractors. Both are wonderful companies that diversify our product mix, extend our reach and broaden our technology advantage. We look forward to supporting their ambitious growth plans.”

Operating cash flow increased 79% to $304 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 ($325 million during the third quarter versus $355 million last year). Watsco’s objective is to maintain a healthy balance sheet and ample liquidity to fund virtually any strategic investment. The Company’s strong financial position has been key to delivering sustained long-term returns and enabling growth investments regardless of macroeconomic or industry conditions. Watsco’s stated goal is to generate annual operating cash flow in excess of net income.

In April 2026, the Company increased its annual cash dividend by 10% to $13.20 per share. Watsco has paid dividends to shareholders for 52 consecutive years. The Company’s philosophy is to share cash flow through dividends while maintaining a conservative balance sheet with continued capacity to build its distribution network. Future changes in dividends are considered in light of investment opportunities, cash flow, general economic conditions and Watsco’s overall financial condition.

In October 2026, Watsco announced that it signed a five-year $750 million unsecured senior revolving credit facility. The terms of the new agreement include increased borrowing capacity, covenant flexibility and greater sensitivity to the seasonal nature of our working capital requirements.

Innovation and Strategic Technology Initiatives
The Company’s continued investment in technology reflects a long-term strategic commitment to building capabilities that strengthen customer relationships, extend the Company’s competitive advantage, improve operating efficiency and support sustainable growth. Watsco has invested approximately $280 million in its digital platforms over the last five years (a current annual run rate of approximately $64 million). The breadth of those investments spans across customer-engagement and internal platforms to increase the speed and efficiency of our locations and emerging AI capabilities that help customers grow and deliver technical know-how quicker.

Watsco’s HVAC Pro+ Mobile Apps and E-Commerce platform have transformed the customer-experience by providing contractors with a seamless digital experience, including sourcing products, accessing technical help, real-time inventory, pricing, product information and more. These tools empower 24/7 self-service that benefit from advanced analytics, AI, technical knowledge and product recommendations. The result is a frictionless buying experience, increased convenience and higher customer satisfaction, which drives greater loyalty and repeat business with lower costs to serve. E-commerce sales increased 12% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 (10% increase during the third quarter), outpacing overall revenue growth, and reached $2.75 billion for the 12-months ended September 30, 2026 (37% of revenues).OnCallAir® is Watsco’s digital sales platform enabling contractors to engage, present and quote solutions to homeowners. The gross merchandise value (GMV) of products sold through OnCallAir® reached $1.6 billion for the nine-months ended September 30, 2026, a 14% increase over the same period last year. For the 12-months ended September 30, 2026, contractors presented approximately 351,000 quotes and generated $2.0 billion GMV, a 14% increase versus the prior comparable 12-month period.Watsco’s pricing optimization platform has contributed to the Company’s gross margin performance since its launch in 2020. The platform is designed to manage and optimize the vast number of pricing records across our business. Examples include the sophisticated pricing rules and strategies for specific products, across various geographic markets and for a variety of customer segments. This data-driven approach also enables Watsco to react swiftly to changing market conditions and efficiently administer the multitude of vendor cost changes to sustain market pricing and underlying gross margins.Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are gaining traction to further enhance the customer-experience, drive efficiency and extend our competitive advantage. These tools leverage Watsco’s industry leading data sets around customers, products and vendors that have been curated over the last 15 years. Highlights include: Watsco’s AI platform is anchored by “Ask.Watsco”, an internally focused AI engine designed to enhance productivity, decision-making and customer service. The platform integrates robust HVAC knowledge and streamlines processes for more than 2,700 current internal users. The platform’s rapid adoption and consistent engagement highlight its potential, providing opportunities to achieve efficiency gains and further enhance customer satisfaction at scale.Complementing its internal platform, Watsco has developed “AL.watsco”, a customer-facing AI model that delivers HVAC expertise directly to customers and partners. AL.watsco is trained on Watsco’s extensive pools of data, enabling it to provide accurate, real-time answers and recommendations on a vast array of HVAC products and solutions. The potential is to deliver highly customized, data driven customer service at scale, enhance customer loyalty and engagement and attract new customers to Watsco’s ecosystem. SupplySync is an innovative platform targeting the institutional channel for HVAC/R products. In recent years, large institutional customers have emerged, offering an incremental growth opportunity by further leveraging our market-leading scale, product depth, customer-facing technologies and financial strength. Watsco has launched a pilot program for SupplySync, which offers enterprise-wide solutions to institutional customers designed to deliver a seamless experience across sales, marketing, pricing, product assortment and order management. SupplySync is designed to provide a new level of service and expertise to institutional customers in a single platform across multiple markets and product categories.Initiatives to enhance sales of non-equipment products and enhance gross margins were launched in 2026. The Company estimates that 40% of the products sold in the HVAC/R marketplace represent non-equipment products. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2026, Watsco’s non-equipment purchases were approximately $1.7 billion from more than 1,500 vendors (30% of total purchases). Watsco is leveraging its product and pricing data to optimize and streamline sourcing across its supplier network. The Company is also investing in advanced logistics and distribution capabilities designed to improve inventory service levels, improve attachment rates, drive operating efficiency, enhance margins and increase inventory turns. A.J. Nahmad, Watsco’s President, added: “We believe that the growth in e-commerce, OnCallAir® and overall digital engagement across our network reflects the value these tools deliver to our customers. We have also progressed nicely with the various initiatives introduced at last year’s investor day, including the formal launch of SupplySync and the early scaling of the other initiatives. Our focus remains on advancing these unique capabilities – with AI enabling better and faster speed to market – in ways that help our customers grow.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and References to “Unit” Data
In this release, the Company discloses non-GAAP measures on a “same-store basis”, which exclude the effects of locations closed, acquired, or locations opened, in each case during the immediately preceding 12 months, unless such locations are within close geographical proximity to existing locations. The Company believes that this information provides greater comparability regarding its ongoing operating performance. These measures should not be considered an alternative to measurements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

In addition, the Company references “unit” data, a key performance measure, in analyzing its results. For purposes of this analysis, a “unit” is a compressor-bearing air conditioning unit or heat pump (also generally referred to as “outdoor units”), a standard industry convention consistent with data published by the Air-Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).

EQT koupí Range Resources za 13 miliard USD
EQT EQT
FMP Stock News 85
Original source text
EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT – Get Free Report) shares crossed below its 200-day moving average during trading on Monday. The stock has a 200-day moving average of $55.42 and traded as low as $52.29. EQT shares last traded at $54.8610, with a volume of 27,250,177 shares.

EQT News Roundup Here are the key news stories impacting EQT this week:

Positive Sentiment: EQT agreed to acquire Range Resources in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $13 billion, creating a combined company with an estimated value of about $50 billion and making EQT the largest U.S. natural-gas producer. The enlarged scale could improve operating efficiency, strengthen marketing leverage and expand exposure to rising gas demand from data centers, LNG exports and power generation. EQT Agrees to Acquire Range Resources in All-Stock Transaction Positive Sentiment: Management says the combination should lower EQT’s free-cash-flow breakeven to below $2 per million British thermal units, potentially improving resilience if natural-gas prices remain volatile. The deal is being positioned as a way to capitalize on record U.S. gas demand and AI-related electricity consumption. EQT Is Building a $50 Billion Natural Gas Giant as AI Power Demand Surges Neutral Sentiment: Range Resources shares rose sharply following the announcement, indicating that the market views the takeover consideration favorably for Range holders. However, the initial reaction for EQT shareholders has been more cautious, suggesting investors are assessing how the benefits will be shared after the merger. Range Resources Soars on EQT’s All-Stock Takeover Negative Sentiment: Because the transaction is all-stock, EQT shareholders will face dilution and must wait for projected synergies and cost savings to materialize. The size of the acquisition also introduces integration, regulatory and commodity-price risks, which may explain the stock’s weaker reaction despite the company’s stronger strategic position. EQT to Buy Range Resources in Natural Gas Megadeal Analysts Set New Price Targets Several analysts recently issued reports on the company.

Centene překonala odhady zisku i tržeb
CNC Centene
FMP Stock News 85
Original source text
Centene (CNC - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.58 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.07 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.5 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +728.57%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this healthcare company would post earnings of $0.89 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.51, delivering a surprise of +182.02%.

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

Centene, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - HMOs industry, posted revenues of $50.65 billion for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.63%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $49.69 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.

Centene shares have added about 65.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

What's Next for Centene?While Centene 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 Centene 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 -$1.09 on $46.17 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.89 on $196.29 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, Medical - HMOs is currently in the top 13% 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, Cigna (CI - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026. The results are expected to be released on November 5.

This health insurer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $7.46 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -4.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.1% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Cigna's revenues are expected to be $73.53 billion, up 5.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Original source text
Výsledky Boeingu za třetí čtvrtletí naznačují, že nejhorší období má výrobce letadel pravděpodobně za sebou. Výrazné meziroční zlepšení hospodaření podpořily nové obranné zakázky, vyšší dodávky letadel a úspěchy v certifikaci modelů 737 MAX. Společnost však stále zůstává ve ztrátě a její komerční divize zatím nedokáže plně kompenzovat dopady předchozích krizí.

Americký výrobce letadel Boeing ve třetím čtvrtletí snížil čistou ztrátu na 116 milionů dolarů (zhruba 2,53 miliardy Kč) z 5,3 miliardy dolarů před rokem. Tržby vzrostly o čtyři procenta na 24,2 miliardy dolarů, oznámila dnes firma ve zprávě o hospodaření.

Loňské třetí čtvrtletí negativně ovlivnil odpis u programu letounu 777X. Provozní zisk v letošním třetím čtvrtletí činil 354 milionů dolarů, zatímco před rokem firma skončila s provozní ztrátou 4,8 miliardy dolarů.

"Mezi nedávné milníky patří certifikace modelů 737-7 a 737-10 a výběr k návrhu a výrobě stíhacího letounu šesté generace pro americké námořnictvo. Jsou to důležité kroky na naší cestě," uvedl šéf podniku Kelly Ortberg.

"Ještě jsme ale neskončili. Nadále se zaměřujeme na bezpečnost a kvalitu a zvyšujeme úsilí v oblasti štíhlé výroby a disciplinovaného řízení, abychom dostáli svým závazkům a dosáhli trvale dobrých výsledků, jaké od nás zainteresované strany očekávají," dodal.

Základní ztráta na akcii ve třetím čtvrtletí klesla na 34 centů ze 7,47 dolaru před rokem. Byla tak vyšší, než očekávali analytici. Ti podle průzkumu společnosti LSEG v průměru předpokládali ztrátu 21 centů na akcii.

Tržby divize komerčních tryskových letadel ve třetím čtvrtletí klesly o tři procenta na 10,7 miliardy dolarů. Divize dodala zákazníkům 161 letadel, tedy o jedno procento více než před rokem. Její provozní ztráta se výrazně snížila na 697 milionů dolarů z 5,4 miliardy před rokem.

Zbrojní a vesmírná divize zvýšila tržby o 15 procent na 7,9 miliardy dolarů a její provozní zisk vzrostl na 492 milionů dolarů ze 114 milionů, přičemž pomohl i zisk 252 milionů dolarů z prodeje společnosti HRL Laboratories.

Boeing měl problémy od dvou tragických havárií, které se týkaly jeho letadel 737 MAX a při kterých v letech 2018 a 2019 zahynulo dohromady 346 lidí. Letadla 737 MAX byla pak v důsledku nehod dočasně odstavena z provozu. Za nehodami byly problémy s asistenčním softwarem MCAS. Ten měl pilotům pomáhat stroj ovládat, místo toho je ale překvapil nečekaným a nepředvídatelným zásahem do řízení.

Boeing následně upravil software řídicího systému a po více než roce získal první povolení pro opětovné uvedení do provozu. V některých částech světa čekal na povolení déle. Americký soud loni v listopadu schválil dohodu vlády Spojených států s Boeingem, podle níž se podnik v případě těchto dvou nehod vyhne trestnímu stíhání. Součástí dohody v celkové výši přes 1,1 miliardy dolarů bylo i odškodné.

Microchip potvrdil radiační odolnost procesoru PIC64-HPSC1000-RH
MCHP Microchip Technology
FMP Stock News 85
Original source text
CHANDLER, Ariz., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As civil, commercial, scientific and defense spacecraft become more autonomous, software-defined and data intensive, mission developers need substantially greater onboard processing capability, combined with the resilience, security and reliability required for demanding space environments. Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces several important milestones for its PIC64-HPSC High-Performance Spaceflight Computing Series, a 64-bit multicore RISC-V computing platform designed specifically for spacecraft, satellites and other mission-critical space systems.

Early radiation characterization of the PIC64-HPSC1000-RH radiation-hardened variant has demonstrated Total Ionizing Dose (TID) performance to 200 krad(Si) and successful Single Event Latch-up (SEL) testing to 78.2 MeV·cm²/mg under specified operating conditions. Early testing also demonstrated robust system-controller operation during Single Event Effects (SEE) characterization, with no uncorrected errors or external resets required during the testing completed to date. These results provide developers with tangible evidence of the platform’s progress toward meeting radiation-tolerance requirements, helping enable future spaceflight systems from Low Earth Orbit to the Moon, Mars and beyond.

“Our vision for PIC64-HPSC was to develop a modern, high-performance computing platform capable of enabling the next generation of civil, commercial, scientific and defense space systems,” said Kevin So, vice president of Microchip’s communications business unit. “The combination of operational silicon, radiation-characterization results and customer evaluation activity demonstrates continued execution against that vision and marks an important step in the maturation of the platform.”

Through the PIC64-HPSC Early Access Program, participating customers have been evaluating silicon and development kits, and beginning application development with supporting software, tools, technical resources and direct engineering assistance from Microchip. A growing ecosystem of board partners is also developing PIC64-HPSC-based VPX and VNX+ computing platforms, providing additional paths for system developers to integrate the processor into future space systems. The Early Access Program can help space-system developers reduce program risk and advance application development.

Initial silicon performance measurements are in line with program objectives, providing a foundation for increasingly compute-intensive workloads such as onboard autonomy, high-performance payload processing, Earth observation and intelligence, secure communications, spacecraft control, scientific exploration and edge AI. By processing more sensor and mission data onboard, future spacecraft can reduce dependence on communications bandwidth, shorten decision-making latency and respond more rapidly to changing mission conditions. The importance of advanced onboard processing is also reflected in NASA’s FY26 Civil Space Shortfall Prioritization, which ranked advanced onboard computing for space operations as the third-highest civil space technology shortfall.

PIC64-HPSC is designed as a scalable computing foundation for a broad range of next-generation space systems. Its 64-bit multicore RISC-V architecture supports the industry’s move toward more open and scalable models for onboard autonomy, software-defined spacecraft, distributed processing, deterministic communications and heterogeneous computing.

PIC64-HPSC originated from NASA and JPL’s assessment of future spaceflight computing requirements and awarded the HPSC contract to Microchip in 2022. Today, operational silicon, customer evaluations and early radiation-characterization achievements reflect the program's progress to date.

The HPSC program helped establish the foundation for Microchip’s 64-bit computing portfolio, which the company has since expanded its portfolio of PIC64 MPUs addressing performance requirements across a broad range of markets.

Pricing and Availability

PIC64-HPSC evaluation and development kits are available to select customers, providing access to silicon, development platforms, software, tools and Microchip engineering support. To inquire about availability, contact a Microchip sales representative.

TransMedics vybaví flotilu 22 letounů systémem Gogo Galileo HDX
TMDX TransMedics Group
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO) today announced that TransMedics, the global leader in organ transplantation technology, services and logistics, has selected Gogo Galileo to equip its growing fleet of 22 Embraer Phenom 300E aircraft operating across the United States.

The aircraft play a critical role in transporting donor organs for transplantation. During each mission, organs are continuously monitored in flight using TransMedics' Organ Care System (OCS), making reliable, high-performance and high-speed inflight connectivity an essential part of the company's operations. The Gogo Galileo HDX is now being installed on all TransMedics’ aircraft and the full fleet is expected to be equipped by 2027.

"Every flight we operate carries the potential to save a life, which makes continuous, real-time visibility into each organ’s status during transport mission-critical," says Andre Costa, VP of Global Logistics at TransMedics. "We are proud to pioneer this initiative. By mid-2027, Gogo Galileo will be operating across our entire fleet, making TransMedics the first and only organ transplant company to achieve this milestone, and we plan to extend this capability to our European fleet in 2028. We selected Gogo Galileo not only for the reliable, high-performance connectivity these critical missions demand, but also for the cybersecurity, system redundancy, and active monitoring that Gogo delivers to its customers."

Powered by Eutelsat OneWeb's enterprise-grade low Earth orbit (LEO) network, Gogo Galileo delivers global, high-speed, low-latency connectivity for business aviation. The Galileo HDX electronically steered antenna (ESA) provides a compact, lightweight and low-power solution capable of supporting multiple simultaneous applications, including cloud-based monitoring, video communications and operational data exchange.

"Business aviation supports far more than executive travel: it enables critical missions that communities rely on every day," says Chris Moore, Chief Executive Officer for Gogo. "TransMedics is a powerful example of that. When you're transporting donor organs, connectivity isn't a convenience; it's part of the mission. We're proud that Gogo Galileo will help provide the resilient, high-performance connectivity their flight crews and medical teams depend on to support lifesaving work while giving them peace of mind that their data is secure."

As the TransMedics fleet enters service with Gogo Galileo HDX, the operator will also benefit from Gogo's comprehensive suite of value-added services, including advanced cybersecurity protections, 24/7/365 multilingual customer support and future-ready technology designed to evolve alongside operational requirements.

U.S. GAAP Operating Results:

Third Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2026

Operating revenues and expenses: Operating revenues increased $47.6 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter. Investment management fees increased $50.4 million, primarily driven by higher average AUM, partially offset by a reduction in revenue due to the sale of the management agreements associated with Invesco's Canadian fund business to CI Global Asset Management ("Sale of the Canadian Management Agreements") in the second quarter of 2026. Service and distribution fees increased $3.3 million. Performance fees decreased $1.7 million to $2.0 million. Other revenues decreased $4.4 million as a result of lower real estate transaction fees.

Operating expenses decreased $24.7 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter. Third-party distribution, service and advisory costs increased $16.6 million primarily due to higher average AUM which was partially offset by a reduction in expense following the Sale of the Canadian Management Agreements. Employee compensation expenses decreased $52.9 million, primarily reflecting lower deferred compensation expense, driven by a $43.7 million decrease in the mark-to-market adjustment on deferred compensation liabilities and a $9.7 million decrease related to the timing of expense recognition for retirement-eligible employees. General and administrative expenses increased $15.9 million, primarily due to a net benefit of $11.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2026 arising from the Sale of the Canadian Management Agreements and the restructuring of the company's Canadian operations.

Non-operating income and expenses: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $42.6 million, earned primarily from our China joint venture and private markets investments. Interest and dividend income was $9.8 million earned from cash and cash equivalents and seed capital investments. Other gains/(losses) were a net loss of $34.2 million, primarily driven by market value changes in deferred compensation and other investments. Other income/(expense) of consolidated investment products (CIP) was income of $29.5 million, primarily driven by net interest income which was partially offset by market losses on the underlying investments held by the funds.

The effective tax rate was 23.3% in the third quarter of 2026 as compared to 25.6% in the second quarter of 2026. The decrease was primarily due to the favorable impact of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated entities recognized during the third quarter of 2026, which was partially offset by the favorable discrete tax benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2026 related to the gain on the Sale of the Canadian Management Agreements.

Diluted earnings per common share: Diluted earnings per common share was $0.65 for the third quarter of 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025

Operating revenues and expenses: Operating revenues increased $232.8 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. Investment management fees increased $327.5 million, primarily driven by management fees for QQQ following its conversion to an open-end fund ETF in the fourth quarter of 2025 and higher average AUM. Service and distribution fees decreased $87.5 million primarily due to the elimination of QQQ's pass-through service revenues after its conversion. Foreign exchange rate changes decreased operating revenues by $7.2 million.

Operating expenses increased $67.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. Third-party distribution, service and advisory costs increased $85.4 million primarily due to higher third-party costs for QQQ and higher average AUM. Employee compensation expenses decreased $27.8 million primarily due to a $24.9 million decrease in the mark-to-market adjustment on deferred compensation liabilities and lower salaries of $13.1 million primarily due to the divestitures in the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by higher variable compensation costs. Marketing expenses increased $15.8 million, primarily due to advertising related to QQQ. Foreign exchange rate changes decreased operating expenses by $5.4 million. 

The effective tax rate was 23.3% in the third quarter of 2026 as compared to (2.8%) in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the favorable resolution of a tax matter in the third quarter of 2025, including the benefit related to a reduction in the deferred income tax rate and the reversal of a reserve for uncertain tax positions.

Adjusted (1) Operating Results:

Third Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2026

Net revenues and adjusted operating expenses: Net revenues in the third quarter of 2026 increased $52.6 million compared to the second quarter primarily due to higher average AUM and higher performance fees earned by our China joint venture, partially offset by the impact of the Sale of the Canadian Management Agreements.  

Adjusted operating expenses decreased $11.0 million compared to the second quarter. 

Adjusted operating income increased $63.6 million compared to the second quarter. Adjusted operating margin increased to 40.7% from 37.5%.

Non-operating income and expenses: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was a market loss of $1.0 million. Other gains/(losses) were a net loss of $23.8 million, primarily driven by market value changes in seed capital and other investments. Interest and dividend income was $12.9 million.

The effective tax rate on adjusted net income increased slightly to 25.1% in the third quarter of 2026 from 24.9% in the second quarter of 2026.

Adjusted diluted earnings per common share was $0.72 for the third quarter of 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 compared to Third Quarter 2025

Net revenues and adjusted operating expenses: Net revenues in the third quarter of 2026 increased $195.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2025 primarily driven by higher average AUM and the net revenues earned from QQQ.

Adjusted operating expenses in the third quarter of 2026 increased $39.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2025. Employee compensation increased $20.7 million primarily due to higher variable employee compensation of $29.3 million, partially offset by lower base salaries due to the divestitures in the fourth quarter of 2025. Marketing costs increased $15.1 million primarily due to advertising related to QQQ. General and administrative expenses increased $6.4 million primarily due to higher outsourced administration costs. 

Adjusted operating income increased $156.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating margin increased to 40.7% from 34.2%.

The effective tax rate on adjusted net income was 25.1% in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 11.2% in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the favorable resolution of a tax matter in the third quarter of 2025, including the reversal of a reserve for uncertain tax positions.

None of this information should be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, historical financial statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

Invesco Ltd.
Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations

We utilize the following non-GAAP performance measures: Net revenues (and by calculation, Net revenue yield on AUM), Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd., and Adjusted diluted EPS. We believe the adjusted measures provide valuable insight into our ongoing operational performance and assist in comparisons to our competitors. These measures also assist management with the establishment of operational budgets and forecasts. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are Operating revenues (and by calculation, gross revenue yield on AUM), Operating income, Operating margin, Net income attributable to Invesco Ltd., and Diluted EPS.

The following are reconciliations of Operating revenues, Operating income (and by calculation, operating margin), and Net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. (and by calculation, diluted EPS) on a U.S. GAAP basis to a non-GAAP basis of Net revenues, Adjusted operating income (and by calculation, Adjusted operating margin), and Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. (and by calculation, Adjusted diluted EPS). In addition, a reconciliation of Adjusted operating expenses is provided below, together with reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP Operating expense lines to provide further analysis of the non-GAAP adjustments. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for any U.S. GAAP measures and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The tax effect of the reconciling items is based on the tax jurisdiction attributable to the transactions. These measures are described more fully in the company's Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Refer to these public filings for additional information about the company's non-GAAP performance measures.

(1)

Revenue adjustments: The company calculates Net revenues by reducing Operating revenues to exclude fees that are passed through to external parties who perform functions on behalf of, and distribute, the company's managed funds. The Net revenue presentation assists in identifying the revenue contribution generated by the company, removing distortions caused by the differing distribution channel fees and allowing for a fair comparison with U.S. peer investment managers and within Invesco's own investment units. Additionally, management evaluates Net revenue yield on AUM, which is equal to Net revenues divided by Average AUM during the reporting period, as an indicator of the Net revenues we receive for each dollar of AUM we manage.

Investment management fees are adjusted by renewal commissions and certain administrative fees. Service and distribution fees are primarily adjusted by distribution fees passed through to broker dealers for certain share classes and pass through fund-related costs. Other revenues are primarily adjusted by transaction fees passed through to third parties.

(2)

Invesco Great Wall: The company reflects 100% of Invesco Great Wall in its Net revenues and Adjusted operating income (and by calculation, Adjusted operating margin). The company's non-GAAP operating results reflect the economics of these holdings on a basis consistent with the underlying AUM and flows. Adjusted net income is reduced by the amount of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests.

(3)

CIP: The company believes that the CIP may impact a reader's analysis of our underlying results of operations and could result in investor confusion or the production of information about the company by analysts or external credit rating agencies that is not reflective of the underlying results of operations and financial condition of the company. Accordingly, the company believes that it is appropriate to adjust Operating revenues and Operating income for the impact of CIP in calculating the respective Net revenues and Adjusted operating income (and by calculation, Adjusted operating margin).

(4)

Amortization of intangible assets: The company removes amortization related to acquired assets in arriving at Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin and Adjusted diluted EPS, as this will aid comparability of our results period to period, and aid comparability with peer companies that may not have similar acquisition-related charges.

(5)

Market valuation changes related to deferred compensation plan liabilities: Certain deferred compensation plan awards provide a return to the employee linked to the appreciation (depreciation) of specified investments. The company economically hedges the exposure to market movements on these deferred compensation liabilities. Since these liabilities are economically hedged, the company believes it is useful to remove the market movements related to the deferred compensation plan liabilities from the calculation of Adjusted operating income (and by calculation, Adjusted operating margin) and to remove the net impact of the economic hedge from the calculation of Adjusted net income (and by calculation, Adjusted diluted EPS) to produce results that will be more comparable period to period.

(6)

Canadian sale and restructuring: In the second quarter of 2026, the company removed the net benefit arising from the Sale of the Canadian Management Agreements and the restructuring of the company's Canadian operations. The company removed this benefit in arriving at Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted diluted EPS, as this will aid comparability of our results period to period and aid comparability with peer companies that may not have similar activities.

(7)

Operating margin is equal to Operating income divided by Operating revenues.

(8)

Adjusted operating margin is equal to Adjusted operating income divided by Net revenues.

(9)

Impact of deferred income tax rate change: In the third quarter of 2025, the company removed a non-cash income tax benefit of $39.0 million related to the revaluation of the deferred tax liabilities for indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of a decrease in the tax rate. The company removed this discrete tax benefit in arriving at Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS as it does not have a cash flow impact and will aid comparability of our results period to period.

(10)

Tax adjustment for amortization of intangible assets and goodwill: The company reflects the tax benefit realized on the tax amortization of goodwill and intangibles in Adjusted net income. The company believes it is useful to include this tax benefit in arriving at the Adjusted diluted EPS measure.

(11)

Adjusted diluted EPS is equal to Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. divided by the weighted average number of common and restricted common shares outstanding.

Herc Holdings překonala odhady zisku i tržeb
HRI Herc Holdings
FMP Stock News 85
Original source text
Herc Holdings (HRI - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.91 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.08 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.22 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +26.95%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this equipment rental supplier would post earnings of $0.76 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.43, delivering a surprise of +88.16%.

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

Herc Holdings, which belongs to the Zacks Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry, posted revenues of $1.36 billion for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.98%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.3 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.

Herc Holdings shares have lost about 14.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

What's Next for Herc Holdings?While Herc Holdings 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 Herc Holdings was favorable. 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 #1 (Strong Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform 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 $2.63 on $1.27 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.30 on $4.96 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, Transportation - Equipment and Leasing is currently in the top 21% 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, Willis Lease Finance (WLFC - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026.

This jet engine lessor is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.40 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +29.6%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Willis Lease Finance's revenues are expected to be $202.76 million, up 10.6% from the year-ago quarter.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +6.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this energy delivery company would post earnings of $0.37 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.4, delivering a surprise of +8.11%.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.99 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.

CenterPoint shares have added about 7.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

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

We monitor subscription annualized recurring revenue ("Subscription ARR"), SaaS ARR and subscription net dollar retention rate ("Subscription NRR") to help evaluate the state of our business. We believe these metrics are material to investors to understand the growth and performance of our business, as they help normalize certain variable factors and provide a consistent view of our recurring revenue profile. Subscription ARR and SaaS ARR exclude non-recurring elements and reflect the annualized value of active contracts, while subscription NRR measures net expansion within our existing subscription customer base. Together, we believe these metrics offer meaningful insight into the health and trajectory of our recurring revenue streams. Commvault has also provided its Subscription ARR on a constant currency basis in order to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. Total ARR, which also included the annualized maintenance contract on perpetual licenses, is no longer disclosed.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations (EBIT), non-GAAP EBIT margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and non-GAAP free cash flow. This financial information has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Commvault uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. Commvault believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, when used as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Commvault's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community. Commvault has also provided its revenues on a constant currency basis. We analyze revenue growth on a constant currency basis in order to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

All of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release.

Non-GAAP EBIT and non-GAAP EBIT margin. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude noncash stock-based compensation expense and additional Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) and related payroll tax expense incurred by Commvault related to stock-based compensation. Commvault has also excluded restructuring costs, noncash amortization of intangible assets, business combination costs, the change in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, adjustments from the sale and leaseback of headquarters, non-recurring strategic pricing initiative costs, and other non-recurring charges from its non-GAAP results. These adjustments are further discussed in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Commvault believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful metrics for management and investors because they compare Commvault's core operating results over multiple periods. When evaluating the performance of Commvault's operating results and developing short- and long-term plans, Commvault does not consider such expenses.

Although noncash stock-based compensation expense and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expense are necessary to attract and retain employees, Commvault places its primary emphasis on stockholder dilution as compared to the accounting charges related to such equity compensation plans. Commvault believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude noncash stock-based compensation expense and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expense allow investors to make meaningful comparisons between Commvault's operating results and those of other companies.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP EBIT and non-GAAP EBIT margin.  The most significant limitation is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain operating costs, primarily related to noncash stock-based compensation, which is of a recurring nature. Noncash stock-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Commvault's operating results.  In addition, noncash stock-based compensation is an important part of Commvault's employees' compensation and can have a significant impact on their performance. The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative ($ in thousands):

The table above excludes stock-based compensation expense related to the Company's restructuring activities described below in Note 8.

The components that Commvault excludes in its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures, Commvault's management assists investors by providing a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Commvault's management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS).  In addition to the adjustments discussed in non-GAAP EBIT, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS incorporates a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24%.

Commvault anticipates that in any given period its non-GAAP tax rate may be either higher or lower than the GAAP tax rate as evidenced by historical fluctuations. Commvault defines its cash tax rate as the total amount of cash income taxes payable for the fiscal year divided by consolidated GAAP pre-tax income. Over time, Commvault believes its GAAP and cash tax rates will align.

Commvault considers non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics for Commvault management and its investors for the same basic reasons that Commvault uses non-GAAP EBIT and non-GAAP EBIT margin. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault's use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS.

Non-GAAP free cash flow.  Commvault defines this non-GAAP financial measure as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Commvault considers non-GAAP free cash flow a useful metric for Commvault management and its investors in evaluating Commvault's ability to generate cash from its business operations. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault's use of non-GAAP free cash flow.

Forward-looking non-GAAP measures.  In this press release, Commvault presents non-GAAP EBIT margin and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts, because certain items that impact these GAAP measures, cannot be reasonably predicted or quantified. The probable significance of these items may be material, and as a result, the corresponding GAAP measures and a quantitative reconciliation to those GAAP measures are not available on a forward-looking basis.

Notes

Beginning in fiscal 2027, Customer support revenue has been further disaggregated between support associated with term-based software license arrangements ("Term-based support") and support associated with perpetual software license arrangements ("Perpetual support"). Subscription revenue has also been reclassified to include Term-based support revenue, in addition to Term-based license and SaaS revenues. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on total revenues, net income, or the underlying revenue recognition for these arrangements.In addition, Subscription ARR has been reclassified to include enterprise support, further aligning Subscription ARR with Subscription revenue. Enterprise support consists of recurring customer success services that provide our customers with enhanced support, strategic guidance and dedicated technical expertise, and is included in Term-based support. Prior to fiscal 2027, enterprise support was included only in Total ARR. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Total ARR, which also included the annualized maintenance contract on perpetual licenses, is no longer disclosed.

Subscription ARR represents the annualized value of all active contracts as of the end of a reporting period attributable to term‑based licenses, maintenance and support services associated with term license arrangements, enterprise support, SaaS subscriptions, and consumption‑based arrangements, calculated by dividing the total active contract value by the number of days in the contract term and multiplying the result by 365. For consumption-based arrangements on a pay as you go model without a fixed commitment, the applicable ARR is calculated by annualizing the revenue contractually expected to be received in a given month based on actual monthly usage from a prior month. SaaS ARR includes only the cloud‑hosted portion of subscription ARR and is calculated using the same methodology.   These metrics should be viewed independently of GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue and are not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. These metrics are not a forecast of future revenues. Management believes that reviewing these metrics, in addition to GAAP results, helps investors and financial analysts understand the value of Commvault's recurring revenue streams presented on an annualized basis. There is no direct GAAP comparative to ARR.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included under the heading "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."Commvault does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated. See "Forward-looking non-GAAP measures" for additional explanation.Subscription net dollar retention rate ("Subscription NRR") includes all contracts attributable to term‑based licenses, maintenance and support services associated with term license arrangements, enterprise support, SaaS subscriptions, and consumption‑based arrangements. Subscription NRR is calculated as the percentage of subscription ARR retained from existing customers at the start of an annual period after accounting for expansion revenue, churn, and downgrades, measured on an annualized basis using the trailing four quarter average. Acquired subscription ARR is excluded until the acquisition is fully integrated, which we generally expect to occur twelve months from the close date. We believe our subscription NRR offers valuable insight into the year-over-year expansion of our existing customer base, reflecting both increased utilization of current products and services as well as the adoption of additional offerings. There is no direct GAAP comparative to NRR.Represents noncash stock-based compensation expense, exclusive of stock-based compensation expense related to Commvault's restructuring activities described below in Note 8.Represents additional FICA and related payroll tax expense incurred by Commvault related to stock-based compensation.Restructuring charges relate to two plans designed to optimize our cost structure, enhance organizational agility, align resources with strategic priorities, and reorganize our business technology function. These initiatives include workforce reductions, technology transitions, office lease closures, and the exit of operations in certain jurisdictions. The related charges primarily consist of severance and associated employee termination costs, stock‑based compensation expense resulting from modification events, and office closure and exit charges. As of September 30, 2026, the majority of these costs have been incurred and the remaining activities are anticipated to be completed in fiscal 2027.Represents noncash amortization of intangible assets.These charges relate to acquisition and business development activities, including legal, accounting and advisory services.

Given the non-recurring nature of the matter, these costs have been excluded from non-GAAP results as they are episodic in nature, directly tied to a discrete strategic initiative, and not reflective of ongoing operating performance.These primarily legal and consulting expenses are related to our response in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to a one-time security matter from the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Given the non-recurring nature of the matter, these costs have been excluded from non-GAAP results to provide a clearer view of ongoing operating performance.The provision for income taxes is adjusted to reflect Commvault's estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24%.

Summary of Third Quarter Consolidated Financial Results
(All comparisons made are against the prior year period unless otherwise noted)

Revenue
Total third quarter revenue of $599 million compared to $582 million in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by growth in Outcomes and the contribution from Resiliency Solutions.

Device Solutions revenue decreased 2%, or 1% in constant currency due to lower legacy gas product sales.

Networked Solutions revenue decreased 1% due to the timing of project deployments.

Outcomes revenue increased 9% due to higher services revenue.

Resiliency Solutions revenue was $16 million.

Adjusted Gross Margin
Itron's third quarter adjusted gross margin of 41.3% increased 350 basis points from the prior year due to customer and product mix as well as operational efficiencies.

Operating Expenses and Operating Income
GAAP operating expenses of $149 million increased $12 million and non-GAAP operating expenses of $141 million increased $10 million from the prior year due to the Urbint and Locusview acquisitions.

GAAP operating income of $95 million was $14 million higher due to higher gross profit.

Non-GAAP operating income of $107 million was $18 million higher than the prior year due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Net Income and Earnings per Share (EPS)
Net income attributable to Itron, Inc. for the quarter was $71 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to Itron, Inc. of $66 million, or $1.41 per diluted share in 2025. The increase was driven by higher operating income.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to Itron, Inc., which excludes the expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt placement fees, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expense, acquisition and integration related expenses, gain on the sale of equity method investments, and the tax effect of excluding these expenses, was $86 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, compared with $72 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, in 2025. The increase was driven by higher non-GAAP operating income and lower non-GAAP taxes.

Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities was $102 million in the third quarter compared with $118 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $96 million in the third quarter compared with $113 million in the prior year. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to changes in working capital, higher cash tax payments and lower interest income.

Other Measures

Total backlog at quarter end was $4.3 billion and bookings during the quarter totaled $482 million.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This release contains, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither historical factors nor assurances of future performance. These statements are based on our expectations about, among others, revenues, operations, financial performance, earnings, liquidity, earnings per share, cash flows and restructuring activities including headcount reductions and other cost savings initiatives. This document reflects our current strategy, plans and expectations and is based on information currently available as of the date of this release. When we use words such as "expect", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "goal", "seek", "project", "estimate", "future", "strategy", "objective", "may", "likely", "should", "will", "will continue", and similar expressions, including related to future periods, they are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions and estimates. Although we believe the estimates and assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these estimates or assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements based on these estimates and assumptions could be incorrect. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results and trends in the future may differ materially from those suggested or implied by the forward-looking statements depending on a variety of factors. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include our ability to execute on our restructuring plans, our ability to achieve estimated cost savings, the rate and timing of customer demand for our products, rescheduling of current customer orders, changes in estimated liabilities for product warranties, adverse impacts of litigation, changes in laws, regulations, tariffs, sanctions, trade policies and retaliatory responses, our dependence on new product development and intellectual property, future acquisitions, changes in estimates for stock-based and bonus compensation, increasing volatility in foreign exchange rates, international business risks, uncertainties caused by adverse economic conditions, including without limitation those resulting from extraordinary events or circumstances and other factors that are more fully described in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec 31, 2025 and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Itron undertakes no obligation to update or revise any information in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), we use certain adjusted or non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, and constant currency. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide greater transparency and represent supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. We exclude certain costs in our non-GAAP financial measures as we believe the net result is a measure of our core business. We believe these measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. Non-GAAP performance measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We strongly encourage investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Our non-GAAP financial measures may be different from those reported by other companies. When providing future outlooks and/or earnings guidance, a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP diluted EPS to the GAAP diluted EPS has not been provided because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the potential amount or timing of restructuring related expenses and their related tax effects without unreasonable effort. These costs are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period. A more detailed discussion of why we use non-GAAP financial measures, the limitations of using such measures, and reconciliations between non-GAAP and the nearest GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, and constant currency. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define such measures differently. For a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable financial measure prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, please see the table captioned Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measures.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and/or as a means for determining executive compensation. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and ability to service debt by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our recurring core operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance, as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. Our executive compensation plans exclude non-cash charges related to amortization of intangibles and depreciation of property, plant, and equipment and certain discrete cash and non-cash charges, such as restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, or acquisition and integration related expenses. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and because they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to analyze the health of our business.

Non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income – We define non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses excluding certain expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, and acquisition and integration related expenses. We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income excluding the expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, and acquisition and integration related expenses. Acquisition and integration related expenses include costs, which are incurred to affect and integrate business combinations, such as professional fees; certain employee retention and salaries related to integration; employee severance; contract terminations; travel costs related to knowledge transfer; system conversion costs; and asset impairment charges. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors because they exclude the effect of expenses that are not related to our core operating results. By excluding these expenses, we believe that it is easier for management and investors to compare our financial results over multiple periods and analyze trends in our operations. For example, in certain periods, expenses related to amortization of intangible assets may decrease, which would improve GAAP operating margins, yet the improvement in GAAP operating margins due to this lower expense is not necessarily reflective of an improvement in our core business. There are some limitations related to the use of non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income versus operating expenses and operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information about the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP operating income and evaluating non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP operating income together with GAAP operating expense and operating income.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS – We define non-GAAP net income as net income attributable to Itron, Inc. excluding the expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt placement fees, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, acquisition and integration related expenses, gain on sale of equity method investment, and the tax effect of excluding these expenses. We define non-GAAP diluted EPS as non-GAAP net income divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding during the period calculated on a GAAP basis and then reduced to reflect any anti-dilutive impact of the convertible notes hedge transactions. We consider these financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors for the same reasons that we use non-GAAP operating income. The same limitations described above regarding our use of non-GAAP operating income apply to our use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP measures and evaluating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS together with GAAP net income attributable to Itron, Inc. and GAAP diluted EPS.

For interim periods the budgeted annual effective tax rate (AETR) is used, adjusted for any discrete items, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 - Income Taxes. The budgeted AETR is determined at the beginning of the fiscal year. The AETR is revised throughout the year based on changes to our full-year forecast. If the revised AETR increases or decreases by 200 basis points or more from the budgeted AETR due to changes in the full-year forecast during the year, the revised AETR is used in place of the budgeted AETR beginning with the quarter the 200 basis point threshold is exceeded and going forward for all subsequent interim quarters in the year. We continue to assess the AETR based on latest forecast throughout the year and use the most recent AETR any time it increases or decreases by 200 basis points or more from the prior interim period.

Adjusted EBITDA – We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (a) minus interest income and gain on sale of equity method investment, (b) plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, loss on sale of business, strategic initiative expenses, acquisition and integration related expenses, and (c) excluding income tax provision or benefit. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure for executive compensation. A limitation to using adjusted EBITDA is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period and the measure includes some non-cash items and excludes other non-cash items. Additionally, the items that we exclude in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may differ from the items that our peer companies exclude when they report their results. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of this measure to GAAP net income.

Free cash flow – We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for acquisitions of property, plant and equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our operations and repay our debt. The same limitations described above regarding our use of adjusted EBITDA apply to our use of free cash flow. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts in the reconciliation.

Adjusted gross profit – We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit excluding the amortization expense of core-developed technology intangible assets.

Adjusted operating income – We define adjusted operating income as operating income excluding the amortization of core-developed technology intangible assets.

Constant currency – We refer to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in our discussions of financial results, which references the differences between the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate operating results from the entity's functional currency into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. We also use the term "constant currency", which represents financial results adjusted to exclude changes in foreign currency exchange rates as compared with the rates in the comparable prior year period. We calculate the constant currency change as the difference between the current period results and the comparable prior period's results restated using current period foreign currency exchange rates.

The tables below reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures of operating expenses, operating income, net income, diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Polaris Inc (PII - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.08 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.62 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.41 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +74.19%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this snowmobile and ATV maker would post earnings of $0.77 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.97, delivering a surprise of +155.84%.

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

Polaris Inc, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Domestic industry, posted revenues of $2.04 billion for the quarter ended September 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.59%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.84 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.

Polaris Inc shares have lost about 12.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.1%.

What's Next for Polaris Inc?While Polaris Inc 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 Polaris Inc 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 $0.53 on $1.9 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.22 on $7.47 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Domestic is currently in the bottom 16% 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.

Harley-Davidson (HOG - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2026. The results are expected to be released on October 29.

This motorcycle maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.43 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -86.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Harley-Davidson's revenues are expected to be $1.05 billion, down 2.6% from the year-ago quarter.

LEAWOOD, Kan., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Euronet (“Euronet” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EEFT), a global leader in payment processing and cross-border transactions, announced today third quarter 2026 financial results.

Euronet reports the following consolidated results for the third quarter 2026 compared with the same period of 2025:

Revenues of $1,161.1 million, a 1% increase from $1,145.7 million (3% increase on a constant currency1 basis).Operating income of $171.6 million, a 12% decrease from $195.0 million (10% decrease on a constant currency basis).Adjusted operating income2 of $169.9 million, a 13% decrease from $195.0 million (11% decrease on a constant currency basis, 8% decrease after excluding $4.7 million of incremental non-cash purchase price amortization).Adjusted EBITDA3 of $226.1 million, an 8% decrease from $244.6 million (6% decrease on a constant currency basis).Net income attributable to Euronet of $113.6 million, or $2.53 diluted earnings per share, compared with $122.0 million, or $2.75 diluted earnings per share.Adjusted earnings per share4 of $3.55 decreased 2% from $3.62 in the prior year period. See the reconciliation of non-GAAP items in the attached financial schedules.  

“Our third-quarter results reflect the continued impact of U.S. immigration policy and global economic pressures on the Cross Border Payments segment, which has persisted longer than we anticipated,” said Michael J. Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Euronet Worldwide. “While these results are below our expectations and our historical performance, we continued to see growth in the digital accelerators we introduced during our Investor Day in May. Year-to-date, these accelerators have grown 33%, reflecting the benefit of our continued investment in these strategic initiatives.

The Payments Infrastructure segment benefitted from the acquisition of CoreCard, together with growth in merchant acquiring and Ren sales. The epay segment had a solid quarter from continued growth in digital content and promotional campaigns executed during the quarter. During the quarter, we also returned another $50 million to shareholders through share repurchases.

While we remain confident in the long-term growth opportunities across our businesses, the persistent pressures experienced this quarter in Cross-Border Payments, together with broader macroeconomic pressures and FX conversion rates changes, have caused us to revise our 2026 outlook from the targets provided during our Investor Day in May. We now expect approximately $4.375 billion of revenue, approximately $725 million of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS growth of approximately 10%. Although these near-term challenges are disappointing, our digital accelerator strategy continues to demonstrate the growth necessary to generate strong cash flow and create long-term shareholder value.”

Segment and Other Results

The Payments Infrastructure Segment (formerly EFT Processing Segment) reports the following results for the third quarter 2026 compared with the same period or date in 2025:

Revenues of $437.9 million, a 7% increase from $409.4 million (9% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $128.2 million, or less than 1% increase from $128.1 million (2% increase on a constant currency basis).Adjusted operating income of $126.5 million, a 1% decrease from $128.1 million (no change on a constant currency basis).Adjusted EBITDA of $157.9 million, a 2% increase from $154.7 million (4% increase on a constant currency basis).Total of 59,688 installed ATMs as of September 30, 2026, a 4% increase from 57,534 as of September 30, 2025. Total of 58,420 active ATMs as of September 30, 2026, a 4% increase from 56,431 as of September 30, 2025. Constant currency revenue growth was driven by continued growth in merchant acquiring, Ren sales, and the fourth quarter 2025 acquisition of CoreCard, partially offset by continued economic pressures on discretionary travel spend which negatively affects international ATM cash withdrawals. Adjusted EBITDA and operating income were impacted by continued cost inflation. Third quarter 2026 adjusted operating income also includes $1.7 million of additional expense related to a timing difference between a cash rebate payment and the U.S. GAAP purchase accounting expense recognition related to a prior acquisition. Adjusted operating income includes a $4.7 million increase in non-cash purchase price amortization related to the CoreCard acquisition. Excluding this additional amortization, constant currency adjusted operating income would have increased 4%.

The epay Segment reports the following results for the third quarter 2026 compared with the same period or date in 2025:

Revenues of $294.7 million, a 3% increase from $286.5 million (5% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $31.8 million, a 3% increase from $31.0 million (5% increase on a constant currency basis).Adjusted EBITDA of $33.4 million, a 3% increase from $32.5 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis).Transactions of 1,191 million, an 4% increase from 1,148 million.POS terminals of approximately 736,000 as of September 30, 2026, a 3% increase from approximately 712,000.Retailer locations of approximately 357,000 as of September 30, 2026, a 3% increase from approximately 346,000. Constant currency revenue and operating income each increased 5% and adjusted EBITDA increased 6% as a result of continued demand for higher-value digital content, merchant acquiring and promotional campaigns.

The Cross-Border Payments Segment (formerly known as Money Transfer Segment) reports the following results for the third quarter 2026 compared with the same period or date in 2025:

Revenues of $431.0 million, a 5% decrease from $452.4 million (4% decrease on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $37.3 million, a 37% decrease from $59.3 million (35% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $43.6 million, a 34% decrease from $65.9 million (32% decrease on a constant currency basis).Total transactions of 45.3 million, a 2% decrease from 46.0 million.Total digital transactions of 8.1 million, a 34% increase from 6.1 million.Network locations of approximately 654,000 as of September 30, 2026, a 3% increase from approximately 638,000. Constant currency revenue was impacted by continued pressure from U.S. immigration policy and broader global economic uncertainty, partially offset by continued strength in the digital business, with digital transactions growing 34% and continued momentum in our Dandelion cross-border payments platform.

Declines in constant currency operating income and adjusted EBITDA were principally the result of the flow through of the revenue declines to the bottom line and approximately $6 million incremental investment in digital initiatives.

On a sequential quarterly basis, the third quarter constant currency revenue decline of 4% improved slightly over the second quarter decline of 5%. The sequential changes were the result of stable to improving trends in many of our international markets. Pressure persisted primarily in the U.S. market, but the last few months have shown stabilizing to modestly improving trends. While these trends are encouraging, we believe the market remains fragile in the context of the current geopolitical environment.

Corporate and Other reports $25.7 million of expense for the third quarter 2026 compared with $23.4 million for the third quarter 2025. The increase in corporate expenses was primarily driven by a $1.9 million increase in long-term share-based compensation.

Balance Sheet and Financial Position
Total cash, including ATM cash, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, was $1,887.9 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $2,220.7 million at June 30, 2026. Total indebtedness was $2,177.3 million, down from $2,654.0 million at June 30, 2026. Availability under the Company's revolving credit facilities was approximately $1.1 billion.

Total indebtedness decreased by $476.7 million during the quarter, reflecting the seasonal return of ATM cash following the peak European travel season and cash generated from operations, partially offset by $50 million of share repurchases.

The Company remains committed to reducing its debt balances in order to maintain its investment-grade credit rating.

Outlook
The Company is revising its 2026 outlook previously provided at its Investor Day in May to approximately $4.375 billion of revenue, approximately $725 million of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share growth of approximately 10% year-over-year. The revised outlook reflects immigration-related pressures within the Cross-Border Payments segment in several key corridors, broader global economic pressures and FX conversion rate changes. This outlook does not include any further changes that may develop in foreign exchange rates, interest rates or other unforeseen factors.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as constant currency financial measures, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per share. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations. These non-GAAP measures are also an integral part of the Company's internal reporting and performance assessment for executives and senior management. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for GAAP and the related GAAP and non-GAAP reconciliation, including adjustments that would be necessary for foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other charges reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

(1) Constant currency financial measures are computed as if foreign currency exchange rates did not change from the prior period. This information is provided to illustrate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's results when compared to the prior period.

(2) Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, a non-cash accrual adjustment. Adjusted operating income represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.

(3) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and other non-operating or non-recurring items that are considered expenses or income under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.

(4) Adjusted earnings per share is defined as diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, the tax-effected impacts of: a) foreign currency exchange gains or losses, b) share-based compensation, c) acquired intangible asset amortization, d) non-cash income tax expense, e) non-cash investment gain, (f) non-cash accrual adjustments, (g) non-cash impairment and (h) dilutive shares related to the Company's convertible notes. Adjusted earnings per share represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure. 

Conference Call and Slide Presentation
Euronet Worldwide will host an analyst conference call on October 27, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Results

Revenue:

Total revenue for the quarter was $1,312 million, an increase of 12 percent (12 percent on a constant currency basis and 8 percent on an organic constant currency basis), compared with the third quarter of 2025.
Earnings:

Net income attributable to TransUnion was $156 million for the quarter, compared with $97 million for the third quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share was $0.81, compared with $0.49 in the third quarter of 2025. Net income attributable to TransUnion margin was 11.9 percent, compared with 8.3 percent in the third quarter of 2025.Adjusted Net Income was $242 million for the quarter, compared with $216 million for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share was $1.25, compared with $1.10 in the third quarter of 2025.Adjusted EBITDA was $465 million for the quarter, compared with $425 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 9 percent (10 percent on a constant currency basis and 5 percent on an organic constant currency basis). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 35.4 percent, compared with 36.3 percent in the third quarter of 2025.
“TransUnion delivered another quarter of strong results exceeding our guidance,” said Chris Cartwright, President and CEO. “U.S. Markets revenue grew by 7 percent, led by U.S. Financial Services and Insurance. International accelerated to 10 percent growth on an organic constant currency basis, including 18 percent growth in India.”

“We are maintaining the high-end of 2026 guidance for revenue and raising guidance for Adjusted Diluted EPS, balancing business momentum against rising interest rates and overall market uncertainty. We continue to expect 2026 to mark our third consecutive year of at least high-single digit organic constant currency revenue growth and double-digit Adjusted Diluted EPS growth.”

“Progress against our technology modernization and accelerated innovation underpin these results. We continue to deliver increasingly diversified, innovation-led and scalable growth. We believe our growth momentum, increasing cash flow and strong balance sheet support an accelerated pace of capital return to shareholders in the near term.”

Cash and cash equivalents was $883 million at September 30, 2026 and $854 million at December 31, 2025.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $889 million, compared with $668 million in 2025. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to improved operating performance and changes in working capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash used in investing activities was $754 million, compared with $307 million in 2025. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to our acquisitions of Trans Union de Mexico and the mobile division of RealNetworks LLC (“RealNetworks”), partially offset by proceeds from the sale of two investments and a prior year investment in a note receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, capital expenditures were $201 million, compared with $229 million in 2025. Capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue represented 5% and 7%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash used in financing activities was $86 million, compared with $301 million in 2025. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was due primarily to borrowings from our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the purchase of Trans Union de Mexico, partially offset by higher share repurchase volume in 2026, the prepayment of our Senior Secured Term Loan B-5 debt and dividends paid to shareholders of Trans Union de Mexico.

On October 26, 2026, TransUnion’s Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization by $1 billion to $2 billion in total and declared a cash dividend of $0.135 per share, an increase from $0.125, for the third quarter of 2026. The dividend will be payable on November 25, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 10, 2026.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook

Our guidance is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change, many of which are outside of the control of the Company, including general macroeconomic conditions, interest rates, inflation and regulatory changes. There are numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results below.

TRANSUNION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate and Leverage Ratio for all periods presented. These are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. These financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define or calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, including operating income, operating margin, effective tax rate, net income attributable to the Company, diluted earnings per share or cash provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables below.

We present Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate as supplemental measures of our operating performance because these measures eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. These are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours.

Our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA as an incentive compensation measure for most eligible employees and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as an incentive compensation measure for certain of our senior executives.

Under the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to our Leverage Ratio which is partially based on Adjusted EBITDA. Investors also use our Leverage Ratio to assess our ability to service our debt and make other capital allocation decisions.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Management has excluded the following items from net income attributable to TransUnion in order to calculate Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Net interest expense is the sum of interest expense and interest income as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Provision for income taxes, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Depreciation and amortization, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Stock-based compensation is used as an incentive to engage and retain our employees. It is predominantly a non-cash expense. We exclude stock-based compensation because it may not correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations during the period since it is measured at the grant date fair value and it is subject to variability as a result of performance conditions and timing of grants. These expenses are reported within cost of services and selling, general and administrative on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Mergers and acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization expenses are non-recurring expenses associated with specific transactions (exploratory or executed) and consist of (i) transaction and integration costs, (ii) fair value and impairment adjustments related to investments and related call and put options, notes receivable, gains or losses on a step acquisition and mark-to-market adjustments on acquisition-related foreign currency forward contracts, (iii) post-acquisition adjustments to contingent consideration or to assets and liabilities that occurred after the acquisition measurement period. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business operations and vary depending upon the timing of such transactions. These expenses are reported in costs of services, selling, general and administrative and other income and (expenses), net, on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Accelerated technology investment includes Project Rise and the final phase of our technology investment announced in November 2023. Project Rise was announced in February 2020 and was originally expected to be completed in 2022. Following our acquisition of Neustar in December 2021, we recognized the opportunity to take advantage of Neustar’s capabilities to enhance and complement our cloud-based technology already under development as part of Project Rise. As a result, we extended Project Rise’s timeline to 2024. In November 2023, we announced our plans to further leverage Neustar’s technology to standardize and streamline our product delivery platforms and to build a single global platform for fulfillment of our product lines. This represented the final phase of the technology investment in our global technology infrastructure and core customer applications. The accelerated technology investment fundamentally transformed our technology infrastructure by implementing a global cloud-based approach to streamline product development, increase the efficiency of ongoing operations and maintenance and enable a continuous improvement approach to avoid the need for another major technology overhaul in the foreseeable future. The unique effort to build a secure, reliable and performant hybrid cloud infrastructure required us to dedicate separate resources in order to develop the new cloud-based infrastructure in parallel with our current on-premise environment by maintaining our existing technology team to ensure no disruptions to our customers. The costs associated with the accelerated technology investment are incremental and redundant costs that will not recur now that the program has been completed and are not representative of our underlying operating performance. Therefore, we believe that excluding these costs through the end of the program in 2025 from our non-GAAP measures provides a better reflection of our ongoing cost structure. These costs are primarily reported in cost of services and therefore do not include amounts that are capitalized as internally developed software.Operating model optimization program represents employee separation costs, facility lease exit costs and other business process optimization expenses incurred in connection with our transformation plan. We excluded these expenses through the end of the program in 2025 as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business. Further, these costs will vary and may not be comparable during the transformation initiative as we progress toward an optimized operating model. These costs are reported primarily in restructuring and selling, general and administrative on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Net other adjustments principally relate to: (i) deferred loan fee expense from debt prepayments and refinancing, (ii) other debt financing expenses consisting primarily of revolving credit facility deferred financing fee amortization and commitment fees and expenses associated with ratings agencies and interest rate hedging, (iii) currency remeasurement on foreign operations, (iv) legal and regulatory expenses, net, and (v) other non-operating (income) and expense. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business and create variability between periods based on the nature and timing of the expense or income. These costs are reported in selling, general and administrative and in non-operating income and expense, net as applicable based on their nature on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Management defines Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue as reported.

Adjusted Net Income

Management has excluded the following items from net income attributable to TransUnion in order to calculate Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented:

Amortization of certain intangible assets presents non-cash amortization expenses related to assets that arose from our 2012 change in control transaction and business combinations occurring after our 2012 change in control. We exclude these expenses as we believe they are not directly correlated to the underlying performance of our business operations and vary dependent upon the timing of the transactions that give rise to these assets. Amortization of intangible assets is included in depreciation and amortization on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Stock-based compensation (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)Mergers and acquisitions, divestiture and business optimization (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)Accelerated technology investment (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)Operating model optimization program (see Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above)Net other is consistent with the definition in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA above except that other debt financing expenses and certain other miscellaneous income and expense that are included in the adjustment to calculate Adjusted EBITDA are excluded in the adjustment made to calculate Adjusted Net Income.Total adjustments for income taxes relates to the cumulative adjustments discussed below for Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes. This adjustment is made for the reasons indicated in Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes below. Adjustments related to the provision for income taxes are included in the line item by this name on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Management defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes

Management has excluded the following items from our provision for income taxes for the periods presented:

Tax effect of above adjustments represents the income tax effect of the adjustments related to Adjusted Net Income described above. The tax rate applied to each adjustment is based on the nature of each line item. We include the tax effect of the adjustments made to Adjusted Net Income to provide a comprehensive view of our adjusted net income.Excess tax (benefit) expense for stock-based compensation is the permanent difference between expenses recognized for book purposes and expenses recognized for tax purposes, in each case related to stock-based compensation expense. We exclude this amount from the Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes in order to be consistent with the exclusion of stock-based compensation from the calculation of Adjusted Net Income.Other principally relates to (i) deferred tax adjustments, including rate changes, (ii) infrequent or unusual valuation allowance adjustments, (iii) return to provision, tax authority audit adjustments, and reserves related to prior periods, and (iv) other non-recurring items. We exclude these items because they create variability that impacts comparability between periods.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

Management defines Adjusted Effective Tax Rate as Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes divided by Adjusted income before income taxes. We calculate adjusted income before income taxes by excluding the pre-tax adjustments in the calculation of Adjusted Net Income discussed above and noncontrolling interest related to these pre-tax adjustments from income before income taxes.

Leverage Ratio

Management defines Leverage Ratio as net debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent twelve-month period including twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA from significant acquisitions. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents as reported on the balance sheet as of the end of the period.

This earnings release presents constant currency growth rates assuming foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. This earnings release also presents organic constant currency growth rates, which assumes consistent foreign currency exchange rates between years and also eliminates the impact of our recent acquisitions. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impacts of recent acquisitions.

Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and is a measure we may refer to.

Curaleaf hájí nabídku na převzetí společnosti Aurora s prémií 86 %
CURLF Curaleaf Holdings
FMP Stock News 90
Original source text
, /PRNewswire/ -- Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (TSX: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) ("Curaleaf"), a leading international provider of consumer and medical cannabis products, today issued the following statement in response to the Alberta Securities Commission's ruling regarding Aurora Cannabis Inc.'s ("Aurora") at-the-market ("ATM") program.

"Aurora would like shareholders to believe the ASC's ruling changes the fundamental debate. It does not," said Boris Jordan, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Curaleaf. "The questions confronting Aurora shareholders remain the same today as they were yesterday: why did Aurora issue shares under an ATM for less than the original offer price after Curaleaf indicated a bid was coming, why is a now 86% premium offer being dismissed as inadequate and a discounted offer, why is Curaleaf continuing to be excluded from customary diligence when others aren't, and why is the Board asking shareholders to reject a proposal before allowing a fully informed process to play out? Those questions remain unanswered."

Key facts Aurora shareholders should know:

Curaleaf's believes its application brought much needed scrutiny to Aurora's dilutive ATM activity. Aurora used the ATM program heavily in the days leading up to Curaleaf's bid, including after Curaleaf publicly announced its intention to make its offer. Aurora has now confirmed that it stopped using the program on August 18, shortly after Curaleaf challenged that activity, and has not used it since. Aurora shareholders have been spared further ATM dilution since Curaleaf raised its concerns and formally made its application.
  Curaleaf's enhanced offer represents an 86% premium, not a "discount." Counter to Aurora's claims, Curaleaf's enhanced offer implied price of approximately US$5.00 per share represents a significant premium to Aurora's unaffected volume weighted average share price of approximately US$2.75. Aurora's "discount" characterization is entirely inconsistent with their own actions, given they were issuing shares pursuant to its ATM at prices as low as US$2.56 per share, a 49% discount to the enhanced Curaleaf offer, less than a month before Curaleaf's intention to make its offer.  Curaleaf's enhanced offer provides clear value to Aurora shareholders.
  A process that excludes Curaleaf cannot credibly be called a review of "all available strategic alternatives." Curaleaf has made a premium offer and remains ready to engage immediately, yet Aurora continues to exclude Curaleaf from customary diligence while providing access to other parties.
  A combination of Curaleaf and Aurora would create the global cannabis leader, with operations across 17 countries, more than US$1.5 billion of last-twelve-month ("LTM") revenue, nearly US$350 million of LTM Adjusted EBITDA and at least US$40 million of expected annual cost synergies. Aurora shareholders would retain exposure to Aurora's international business while gaining ownership in Curaleaf's leading U.S. platform and future regulatory upside.Curaleaf remains ready to engage constructively with Aurora and pursue a transaction that delivers immediate value, meaningful future upside, and ownership in the world's largest cannabis company.

Trending Headlines about Comcast Here are the key news stories impacting Comcast this week:

Positive Sentiment: Third-quarter updates highlighted Peacock’s continued profitability and wireless customer growth. These gains, along with approximately 1% pro forma adjusted EBITDA growth, helped offset some weakness in the company’s connectivity businesses. Comcast Q3 2026 Earnings Call Highlights Positive Sentiment: Comcast’s latest reported quarter included adjusted earnings of $1.07 per share, ahead of the $0.99 consensus estimate, while revenue of $29.30 billion was slightly above expectations. The earnings beat provides some support for the stock’s valuation, although year-over-year revenue declined. Neutral Sentiment: Reported short interest was zero shares as of October 26, implying no measurable days-to-cover exposure. This suggests limited evidence of a significant short-selling buildup, but the unusual figure may warrant verification. Neutral Sentiment: Oppenheimer maintained a “hold” stance, while Comcast’s recent visibility among Zacks users reflects increased investor attention rather than a clear change in fundamentals. Oppenheimer Hold Rating Negative Sentiment: Broadband pressure remains the main concern: connectivity and platforms revenue fell 2.6%, and Comcast is experiencing widening broadband losses. Analysts are focused on whether Peacock and wireless growth can sustainably offset deterioration in the core cable business. Comcast Q3 Results Negative Sentiment: Freedom Broker cut its price target from $29 to $25 and assigned a “hold” rating. Although the revised target implies potential upside from the referenced price, the reduction signals less confidence in Comcast’s near-term recovery. TD Cowen has also issued a pessimistic forecast. Freedom Broker Comcast Rating Wall Street Analysts Forecast Growth A number of equities analysts have recently weighed in on the company. Scotiabank lowered their target price on Comcast from $29.00 to $27.50 and set a “sector perform” rating on the stock in a research report on Friday, October 2nd.

Vertiv koupil společnost UtilityInnovation Group za 1,45 miliardy USD
VRT Vertiv Holdings
FMP Stock News 98
Original source text
~$1.45 billion acquisition expected to expand Vertiv's addressable opportunity in power-constrained data centers

UIG's proven team and proprietary technology add microgrid controls, onsite generation orchestration, microgrid-specific switchgear and behind-the-meter power architecture to Vertiv's portfolio

Extends Vertiv's power and cooling portfolio from grid interconnect to chip, independent of any single generation technology or supplier

, /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE: VRT) ("Vertiv"), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vertiv Corporation, has completed its acquisition of Utility Innovation Holdings, Inc., which operates as UtilityInnovation Group ("UIG") for approximately $1.45 billion in upfront cash. The transaction includes additional contingent consideration of up to $1.15 billion in cash based on achieving certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") targets over 12- and 24-month periods.

Vertiv has completed its acquisition of UtilityInnovation Group, extending Vertiv solutions upstream to the grid interconnect, adding microgrid controls, onsite generation and energy storage orchestration, and behind-the-meter power architecture. © Vertiv At the approximately $1.45 billion purchase price, the acquisition represents approximately 13x expected UIG 2027 EBITDA. The EBITDA multiple is anticipated to be significantly lower if the full earnout is paid. Vertiv expects the acquisition to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share in the first year following completion.

UIG is a leader in microgrid solutions, advanced power controls and behind-the-meter power architecture design for data centers. The acquisition extends Vertiv upstream to the grid interconnect, adding microgrid controls, onsite generation and energy storage orchestration, and behind-the-meter power architecture. These capabilities are expected to help data center operators secure power faster as grid constraints increasingly limit AI infrastructure deployment.

"We are pleased to welcome the UIG team to Vertiv," said Vertiv CEO Giordano Albertazzi. "As AI data center operators work to accelerate deployment in an increasingly power-constrained environment, access to power has become a critical competitive advantage. With UIG now part of Vertiv, we can extend our capabilities upstream to the utility interconnect and onsite power sources, creating a coordinated solution, from behind-the-meter power generation to chip, that helps customers achieve faster time to power without tying them to a single generation technology or supplier."

The Vertiv and UIG combination is expected to give customers greater flexibility in how they source, manage and scale power as data center requirements evolve by:

Accelerating access to power to ease or eliminate dependence on utility interconnection timelines,Enabling Behind the Meter (BTM) site capacity to scale beyond what the grid alone can provide, andProviding a single accountable relationship from grid interconnect through rack-level infrastructure."UIG is excited to advance its mission to solve the power constraints that are slowing AI data center development," said Sidney Hinton, Founder and CEO of UIG. "As part of Vertiv, we will be able to bring our microgrid and behind-the-meter power expertise to a broader set of customers globally, helping accelerate deployment of the critical infrastructure needed to support the growth of AI."

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as financial advisor to Vertiv, and Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC served as legal counsel. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as financial advisor to UIG, and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP served as legal counsel.
