UBS zvýšila cílovou cenu Berkshire Hathaway před výsledky za 2. čtvrtletí, protože akcie podle ní obchodují s 8% diskontem k vnitřní hodnotě. Odhaduje také zpětné odkupy za zhruba 8,5 miliardy USD.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:BRK.A) shares are trading at an 8% discount to intrinsic value, UBS said, raising its price target on the conglomerate ahead of its second-quarter earnings release.
UBS lifted its target to $877,848 for Class A shares from $854,596, and to $585 for Class B shares. The bank also raised its 2Q26 earnings estimates to $7,973 per A-share and $5.32 per B-share, both up 3%, citing heavier buybacks, stronger results at BNSF railroad and lower catastrophe losses in insurance.
UBS estimates Berkshire repurchased about $8.5 billion of stock between April 15 and July 14, based on a 13D/A filing tied to Warren Buffett's charitable stock donation. The bank called the buyback pace bullish, noting shares traded at 1.45 times book value over the period.
The quarter included the closing of Berkshire's Taylor Morrison acquisition and a $10 billion investment in Alphabet to fund AI development.
For 2026 and 2027, UBS raised operating earnings estimates by 1.3% and 0.8%, respectively, to $21.05 and $21.32 per B-share, largely on higher assumed buybacks of $8.6 billion, up from $1.5 billion previously.
UBS expects GEICO's underwriting margins to keep narrowing as the unit leans into growth through flat to declining rates and higher ad spend, forecasting an 88.3% combined ratio versus 83.5% a year earlier. Reinsurance premiums are expected to rise 5%, helped by a new quota-share deal with Tokio Marine, while competitive pricing pressures growth elsewhere.
Among non-insurance units, BNSF faces a modest fuel-cost headwind before turning to a tailwind next quarter. Berkshire Hathaway Energy is expected to post revenue up 5% and pre-tax operating earnings up 31%, while the manufacturing, service and retailing segment is seen growing earnings 3.9%.
FMC ve 2. čtvrtletí vykázala tržby 867 mil. USD a upravenou EBITDA 153 mil. USD, nad horní hranicí výhledu. Zároveň snížila celoroční výhled na upravenou EBITDA na 620 až 680 mil. USD kvůli náročnějšímu makru.

Second quarter sales of $841 million, excluding India, were 20 percent lower than prior year. The removal of India represented a 5 percent sales headwind. Volumes declined 10 percent due to lower diamide partner orders and reduced demand for core legacy products, particularly in North America, as growers contend with strained margins. Price declined 7 percent, driven by pressure on the company's core legacy products and planned Rynaxypyr® active pricing actions. Foreign currency was a 2 percent tailwind. The growth portfolio grew mid-single digits as lower Plant Health sales were more than offset by strong performances from new active ingredients and Cyazypyr® active, reflecting continued demand for innovative solutions. Branded sales of Rynaxypyr® were essentially flat versus prior year, excluding India, with strong demand for new formulations.

GAAP net loss in the second quarter declined $253 million primarily due to lower sales, higher restructuring costs and higher interest expense. FMC second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $153 million, a decrease of 26 percent from the prior-year period. Lower price and volume were partially offset by favorable costs and a moderate FX tailwind.
On a GAAP basis, cash from operations for the second quarter was $363 million, an increase of $297 million versus 2025, including a $200 million upfront payment related to the rimisoxafen active ingredient licensing agreement. Free cash flow was $357 million, an improvement of $318 million versus Q2 2025 primarily due to higher cash from operations.
Strategy Update
FMC continued to make progress on its four operational pillars during the second quarter: reducing debt, improving the competitiveness of its core portfolio, managing the post-patent transition for Rynaxypyr® and accelerating growth of new active ingredients. These pillars remain the foundation of the company's plan to improve earnings and cash generation, positioning FMC to take full advantage of its technology-driven growth potential.
During the quarter, FMC announced the key components of its targeted approximately $1 billion of proceeds to be used for debt reduction. These actions included signing a definitive agreement for the sale of its India commercial business for $252 million, closing on a licensing agreement for rimisoxafen with Corteva for an upfront payment of $200 million, signing a sale-leaseback agreement for its Newark, Delaware property for $114 million and reaching an agreement for a $400 million equity investment from Tessenderlo Group. With these actions and other minor asset sales to be completed this year, FMC expects to generate approximately $1 billion of proceeds to be used for debt paydown. The India commercial business sale, the Newark, Delaware property sale and the Tessenderlo Group investment are subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
With these actions in place, the FMC Board of Directors has concluded the exploration of strategic options announced in February 2026. The company remains focused on executing its operational priorities and strengthening the foundation for future growth through its differentiated technology portfolio.
Full Year Outlook1
The company has updated its full-year 2026 revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and free cash flow guidance ranges. Full year 2026 revenue guidance1 is now $3.50 billion to $3.70 billion, a decline of 7 percent at the midpoint versus prior year1. The updated guidance reflects a more challenging operating environment and incorporates the company's current view of customer purchasing patterns and market conditions. Price is expected to be lower by mid-to-high single digits mainly due to a challenging macro environment as well as planned pricing actions for Rynaxypyr®. Excluding India, volume is expected to be in line with prior year as reduced diamide partner orders are offset by growth in nearly all other parts of the portfolio. India represents a 2 percent headwind1. FX is expected to be a low-single digit tailwind.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $620 million to $680 million, a decline of 23 percent versus prior year, as lower price and an FX headwind are partially offset by favorable costs. Adjusted EPS is expected to be $1.19 to $1.49, a decrease of 55 percent versus prior year, primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA and increased interest expense. Free cash flow is expected to be $75 million to $225 million. Free cash flow guidance now includes the $200 million upfront payment received for rimisoxafen licensing.
Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter Outlooks1
Third quarter revenue excluding India is expected to be in the range of $840 million to $900 million, down 9 percent at the midpoint versus third quarter 2025. Price is expected to be lower by mid-to-high single digits. FX is expected to be neutral. Volume is expected to be lower as distributors in North America shift orders from Q3 to Q4 to align purchases more closely with application timing and manage inventory levels. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $120 million to $140 million, a decrease of 45 percent at the midpoint versus the prior year as lower sales and an FX headwind are partially offset by favorable costs. FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.05 to $0.13 in the third quarter, which represents a 90 percent decline at the midpoint versus third quarter 2025 driven mainly by lower adjusted EBITDA and higher interest expense.
The company expects a return to year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter revenue excluding India is expected to be in the range of $1.06 billion to $1.20 billion, an increase of 4 percent at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2025. Volume is expected to show healthy growth driven by increased direct sales to growers in Brazil, new active ingredients and North America distributor orders that shifted from Q3 to Q4. Price is expected to decline by mid-to-high single digits. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $275 million to $315 million, an increase of 5 percent at the midpoint versus the prior year as lower price and an FX headwind are more than offset by higher volume and favorable costs. FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.09 to $1.33 in the fourth quarter, which represents a 1 percent increase at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2025.

This press release contains certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our website www.fmc.com/investors. Such terms include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings, free cash flow and organic revenue growth. In addition, we have also provided on our website reconciliations of non-GAAP terms to the most directly comparable GAAP terms.
Although we provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow (non-GAAP financial measures), we are not able to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring, acquisition charges, our India held for sale business, and discontinued operations. As a result, no GAAP outlook is provided. Starting with the third quarter 2025 guidance, we provide forecasts for revenue excluding India (non-GAAP financial measure). We are not able to forecast the GAAP revenue due to potential actions we may take during the held for sale period to prepare the business for a potential buyer and other uncertainties, including customer reaction to the announcement of our intention to sell our India commercial business. In 2026, revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS outlooks provided exclude India results and variances are calculated versus 2025 results, which include India results in the first half of the year. Organic revenue growth (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of foreign currency changes and the removal of India. FMC CORPORATION

Referred to as Adjusted earnings. The Company believes that Adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, and its presentation on a per share basis provides useful information about the Company's operating results to management, investors, and securities analysts. Adjusted earnings excludes the effects of corporate special charges, the India held for sale business, tax-related adjustments and the results of our discontinued operations. The Company also believes that excluding the effects of these items from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying business from period to period.

The average number of shares outstanding used in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 diluted adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations per share computation (Non-GAAP) includes 0.6 million and 0.4 million diluted shares, respectively. This number of shares differs from the average number of shares outstanding used in diluted earnings per share computations (GAAP) as we had a net loss from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders.

(b)
Our non-operating pension, postretirement and other charges (income) includes those costs (benefits) related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These are excluded from our Adjusted earnings and are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our Adjusted earnings results noted above. These elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.
(c)
In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in response to ongoing challenges in the country. In May 2026, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell the India commercial business to Crystal Crop Protection Limited for consideration of $252 million, subject to customary adjustments for cash, debt and working capital. The Company will continue to receive all cash generated from the ongoing operation of the India business until closing, primarily through monetization of working capital, and the sale is expected to close during 2026. The assets related to this business have been classified as held for sale since the third quarter of 2025. The business does not qualify for recognition as discontinued operations and will continue to be presented in the Company's reported GAAP results until a transaction is completed. Beginning with the third quarter of 2025, we have excluded the impact of various activities associated with the anticipated sale from our operating results for non-GAAP purposes. Refer to the table below for the adjustments related to the India held for sale business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

(d)
The income tax expense (benefit) on Corporate special charges (income) is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the corporate special charge or income occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) based on the nature of the non-GAAP performance measure.
(e)
Discontinued operations includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations and retained liabilities.
(f)
We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the non-GAAP measure of income, and include a non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but are not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to continuing operating results in the current year; tax adjustments associated with fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement of certain foreign operations; certain changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years; certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and related interim accounting impacts; and changes in tax law. In 2024 and 2023, we recorded significant deferred tax assets due to various tax incentives granted to the Company's Swiss subsidiaries (the "Swiss Tax Incentives"). The initial recognition of these Swiss Tax Incentives did not impact our adjusted non-GAAP effective tax rate but will be considered annually as we realize the benefits. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items, as well as the impacts of the Swiss Tax Incentives annually as the related benefits are realized, assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to continuing operating results thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.

Represents third party provider costs associated with the expected sale of our India commercial business. Proceeds from the sale of our India commercial business anticipated in 2026 will be excluded from free cash flow when received. Therefore, we have also excluded the related transaction costs from free cash flow.
(3)
Free cash flow is defined as cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations (GAAP) adjusted for spending for capital additions and other investing activities as well as cash provided (required) by discontinued operations and divestiture transaction costs associated with the sale of our GSS business. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides a useful basis for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the cash generated by routine business operations, including to assess our ability to repay debt, fund acquisitions and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under U.S. GAAP.

The carrying value of the India held for sale business decreased from $450 million as of December 31, 2025 to $350 million as of June 30, 2026 primarily due to receivable collections during the period as well as an impairment charge of approximately $44 million. The carrying value of the held for sale business is comprised of $367 million of net assets held for sale as presented on the consolidated balance sheet and a gain of $17 million related to foreign currency translation in connection with the assets identified for disposal. The foreign currency translation gains are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" on the consolidated balance sheet and will be reclassified to the consolidated statement of income (loss) upon close of the sale.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Markel Group Inc. (NYSE: MKL) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The Company also announced today it filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"In the first half of 2026, our insurance underwriting improved, our businesses generated strong cash flow, and we continued to allocate capital with discipline, including ongoing share repurchases funded from net earnings," said Tom Gayner, Chief Executive Officer. "Also, our diversified array of businesses generated nearly $1 billion of adjusted operating income. For the balance of 2026, the improvement of our insurance operations should continue."
Highlights of our 2026 second quarter and six-months results:
Operating revenues were $4.0 billion in the quarter and $7.6 billion year to date, both of which are consistent with the comparable periods of 2025. Operating income, which includes market movements in our equity portfolio, was $1.6 billion in the quarter and $1.3 billion year to date. Adjusted operating income, which excludes market movements in our equity portfolio, was $436 million for the quarter compared to $578 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating income was $934 million year to date compared to $1.1 billion in the first half of 2025. Share repurchases were $237 million in the quarter and $371 million year to date. For Markel Insurance, our cornerstone business:
Underwriting gross premium volume increased by 10% for both the quarter and year to date when excluding the impact of the sale of the renewal rights of our Global Reinsurance division in 2025 and the transition of our Hagerty business to a fronting arrangement in 2026. Adjusted operating income increased 40% for the quarter to $376 million, due to improved underwriting profitability and higher net investment income, reflecting the continued progress on our reorganization and refocused strategy, which began last year. The combined ratio for the quarter was 93%, which includes two points of losses related to the Middle East conflict and a two point unfavorable impact from our exited Global Reinsurance division.

Supplemental Financial Information
Markel Group manages the business and assesses performance using a variety of performance metrics, each reflecting a different time horizon and serving a different purpose, rather than relying upon a single metric.
Short-term Performance Metrics
In analyzing our current period performance, we believe adjusted operating income is the best metric to assess the performance of our operating businesses. Adjusted operating income excludes the market value movement in our equity portfolio and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
The following table summarizes adjusted operating income by segment.

Long-term Performance Metrics
We believe our financial performance is most meaningfully measured over longer periods of time, which helps mitigate the effects of short-term volatility and better aligns with the long-term perspective we apply to operating our businesses, making capital allocation decisions, and determining executive compensation.
The following tables present a long-term view of our performance over multiple time periods. These metrics drive the growth in intrinsic value per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Markel Group utilizes certain non-GAAP measures that we believe enhance the understanding of our performance. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Consolidated Adjusted Operating Income
Consolidated adjusted operating income, which excludes net investment gains and losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and impairment of goodwill, is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe adjusted operating income is generally an accurate representation of the operating performance of our businesses in our periodic results. Net investment gains and losses are predominantly derived from our investments in publicly traded equity securities and typically include significant unrealized gains and losses from market value movements. We believe that net investment gains and losses, whether realized from sales or unrealized from market value movements, are distortive in understanding the short-term operating performance of our businesses. We do not view amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill, which arise from purchase accounting for acquisitions, as ongoing costs of operating our businesses, and therefore exclude those amounts from our adjusted operating income metric.
The following table reconciles average operating income to average adjusted operating income for the last two trailing-five-year periods.

Adjusted Underwriting Gross Premium Volume
Adjusted underwriting gross premium volume is a non-GAAP measure that excludes underwriting gross premium volume from the Global Reinsurance division and our business with Hagerty for both periods. In August 2025, Markel Insurance sold the renewal rights for contracts written through its Global Reinsurance division, and the division entered into run-off, which resulted in a significant decline in underwriting gross premium volume. Beginning on January 1, 2026, Markel Insurance's business written on behalf of Hagerty transitioned from being an underwriting product to a fronting arrangement, which resulted in a change in the presentation of the related gross premium volume and therefore, a significant decline in underwriting gross premium volume. We believe adjusted underwriting gross premium volume is a meaningful measure when comparing underwriting gross premium volume from period-to-period as it adjusts for the impact of these significant contractual restructuring changes within the Markel Insurance segment.
The following table reconciles underwriting gross premium volume to adjusted underwriting gross premium volume.

UFP Industries ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby o 3 % na 1,88 miliardy USD, ale zisk na akcii klesl na 1,48 USD z 1,70 USD před rokem. Výsledky stlačily vyšší přepravní náklady.
, /PRNewswire/ -- UFP Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI) a leading manufacturer focused on delivering value-added products across its Retail, Packaging, and Construction segments reported results for the second quarter 2026.
Net Sales of $1.88 billion increased by 3 percent compared to $1.84 billion a year ago due to a 1 percent increase in organic units (excluding growth from acquisitions within the last 12 months) and a 2 percent increase due to acquisitions. Diluted earnings per share of $1.48 compared to $1.70 a year ago, and Net Earnings Attributable to Controlling Interests of $83 million compared to $101 million a year ago. Earnings were primarily impacted by higher freight costs while a weaker residential construction market was offset by improvements in other business units. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $154.5 million in the quarter, or 8.2 percent of net sales compared to $174.1 million, or 9.5 percent of net sales a year ago, as transportation costs increased by 1.6 percent as a percent of net sales. Cash flows from operating activities in the first six months of 2026 was $61 million. Cash used to invest in seasonal working capital requirements during the first six months totaled almost $170 million and is expected to be converted to cash by the beginning of the fourth quarter. Free cash flow1 of $198 million for the first six months of 2026 was used to repurchase nearly $142 million of our shares. Will Schwartz, President and CEO of UFP Industries, commented, "As we've discussed in prior quarters, we are seeing stabilization across the majority of our portfolio, and we believe our second quarter results reflect the progress we have made to strengthen our business and structurally improve our operations. The business environment remains challenging with geopolitical tensions, a weak housing market, rising input costs, and most recently, elevated transportation costs. We are actively managing these short-term disruptions while investing in initiatives that will improve our margin profile and drive above-market growth over the long term. We remain focused on the factors under our control and we are on track to deliver the remaining $25 million or more from our initial $60 million cost out program by year end. We also continue to strengthen our core businesses through organic investments and strategic M&A, positioning the company for long-term growth and returns as markets recover."
Schwartz continued, "Our balanced approach to our business has helped us navigate this uncertain environment while driving strong performance relative to market conditions. We continue to invest strategically by expanding geographically, improving operational efficiencies, and introducing innovative value-added products. To that point, the investments we've made to grow our Surestone products helped sales increase 37 percent from year ago levels, and our backlog remains robust. We also completed three acquisitions in the quarter that complement our core business and our M&A pipeline remains active. We will continue to make these investments in a targeted manner, while returning more of our free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. With $1.9 billion in liquidity at quarter end, we are confident in our ability to create shareholder value through prudent capital allocation."

Net sales increased 3 percent in the quarter, driven primarily by acquisitions, as well as organic volume improvements in our Deckorators, Structural Packaging, Protective Packaging, Concrete Forming, and Commercial business units. Freight costs as a percent of net sales have increased by 1.6 percent, or $27 million, net of fuel surcharges and price adjustments, compared to year ago levels. The increase was driven by higher market-based transportation rates as a result of tightening industry capacity and elevated fuel costs. Freight spot rates rose over 30 percent during the quarter, surpassing the rate of increase experienced during the COVID period, before stabilizing at an elevated level toward the end of the quarter. Industry-wide changes resulted in constrained carrier capacity, as smaller carriers have exited the market, which contributed to the higher rates. New product sales were 8.4 percent of total net sales compared to 6.5 percent a year ago, highlighting continued progress in expanding the portfolio of higher value-added products. UFP Retail

ProWood organic unit sales declined 1 percent in the quarter from year ago levels, reflecting weaker consumer sentiment amid continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. However, there have been favorable impacts from volume since the first quarter of 2026, reflecting gradually improving demand. Deckorators' organic unit sales grew 9 percent in the quarter from year ago levels. Our Surestone decking sales increased 37 percent and our traditional wood plastic composite decking increased 85 percent, partially offset by railings which declined 17 percent, from the same quarter a year ago. Our current backlog of ordered but unshipped Surestone decking is approximately $30 million as we continue to make progress optimizing capacity. The MoistureShield acquisition contributed a 51 percent increase in wood plastic composite decking sales. UFP Edge organic unit sales declined 17 percent due to the closure of the Bonner facilities at the end of 2025 and rationalizing the product portfolio to those that can achieve profitability targets. Adjusted EBITDA was unchanged in the quarter from year ago levels primarily due to higher transportation costs that were $17 million higher than last year. In the quarter, we were able to offset these headwinds through improved gross profits in Prowood from more favorable lumber price trends, UFP Edge from the restructuring of this business unit, and Deckorators primarily from favorable increases in volume.

Structural Packaging organic unit sales grew 8 percent in the quarter compared to year ago levels. PalletOne organic unit sales declined 3 percent in the quarter from year ago levels due to weaker demand, which was offset by a 12 percent contribution from acquisitions. Protective Packaging organic unit sales increased 15 percent in the quarter from a year ago levels as a result of the Jeffersonville, Indiana facility, which became fully operational in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA declined 28 percent in the quarter from year ago levels primarily due to higher transportation costs in each business unit, lower gross profits in PalletOne, and startup costs associated with new greenfield locations in Protective Packaging.

Site Built organic unit sales declined 3 percent in the quarter from year ago levels reflecting softer demand driven by affordability challenges and economic uncertainty, which resulted in lower housing starts. Factory Built organic unit sales declined 6 percent in the quarter from year ago levels due to the loss of lower margin commodity sales, partially offset by a 1 percent contribution from acquisitions. Industry production has declined by 8 percent. Concrete Forming Solutions' organic unit sales grew 6 percent in the quarter from year ago levels driven by market share gains associated with value-added product sales. Commercial organic sales grew 11 percent in the quarter from year ago levels as overall demand has improved and as the business unit continues to gain market share. Adjusted EBITDA declined 21 percent in the quarter from year ago levels primarily due to lower gross profits in Site Built from macroeconomic pressures and competitive pricing, partially offset by improved gross profits in Commercial and Concrete Forming. Capital Structure, Leverage and Liquidity Information
UFP Industries maintains a strong balance sheet and as of June 27, 2026, had liquidity of approximately $1.9 billion consisting of over $597 million of Cash and cash equivalents and $1.3 billion of remaining availability under its revolving credit facility and a shelf agreement with certain lenders. The company's return-focused approach to capital allocation includes the following:
Organic Growth. The company invests in organic growth opportunities when acquisition targets are not available at valuations that will allow us to meet or exceed targeted return rates. The company expects to invest approximately $175 million to $200 million on capital projects for the balance of 2026. Acquisitions and Inorganic Growth. During the second quarter, the company closed three transactions, expanding production capacity and expanding its geographic reach in its core businesses. On April 6, 2026, the company acquired the operating assets of the composite decking manufacturing facility of MoistureShield, Inc., a leading player in the growing wood plastic composite industry, for $55 million in cash. The acquisition expands our manufacturing capacity to meet the growing demand for our Deckorators product offering. In 2025, MoistureShield had sales of approximately $50 million. On May 4, 2026, the company acquired the operating assets of John Rock, Inc., a leading manufacturer of new pallets, for $47 million in cash. In 2025, John Rock had sales of approximately $86 million. On May 18, 2026, the company acquired the operating assets of Berry Pallets, Inc., a wood pallet manufacturer, for $20 million in cash. In 2025, Berry Pallets had sales of approximately $23 million. Dividend Payments. On July 22, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share. This dividend is payable on September 15, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 1, 2026. The per share cash dividend amount represents a 3% increase from the 2025 dividend rate. We continue to consider our payout ratio and yield when determining the appropriate dividend rate and have a long-term objective of increasing our dividend in line with our future earnings and free cash flow growth. Share Repurchases. During the first six months of 2026, we repurchased a total of 1,669,770 shares for $141.8 million, at an average share price of $84.95. On May 29, 2026, our board authorized a new repurchase plan for up to $300 million worth of our shares through April 30, 2027. This authorization supersedes and replaces our prior authorizations. As of July 29, 2026, approximately $273 million remain available under this latest repurchase authorization. 2026 Outlook and Long-Term Targets
Our full year 2026 outlook remains unchanged. We continue to expect overall demand for the balance of the year to be toward the lower end of our prior guidance of flat to slightly down unit expectations in each of our segments based on our sales mix. Input costs, primarily energy and transportation, are expected to remain elevated, and while we have mechanisms to offset these costs, we expect recovery to be gradual through the remainder of the year. Demand tied to new residential construction is expected to remain challenging, while stabilization across most other end markets should partially offset that pressure. Despite these conditions, we believe we are positioned to perform better than our markets through share gains across our portfolio and continued execution of our cost-out program. In addition, initial stocking orders, upgraded manufacturing capacity, and expanded distribution are expected to support continued momentum in our Deckorators' Surestone business.
The company's long-term goals remain unchanged and include: 1) achieving 7-10 percent unit sales growth annually (including bolt-on acquisitions) with at least 10 percent of all sales coming from new products; 2) achieving 12.5 percent adjusted EBITDA margins; 3) earning an incremental return on new investments over our hurdle rate; and 4) maintaining a conservative capital structure.
Conference Call
UFP Industries will host a conference call on Thursday, July 30, 2026, to discuss these results and outlook. The conference call will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and will be hosted by CEO Will Schwartz and CFO Michael Cole. Interested investors can access the webcast directly with this link (here). A replay of the call will be available through the UFP Investor Relations website at www.ufpinvestor.com for at least 90 days following the call.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the markets we serve, the economy and the Company itself. Words like "anticipates," "believes," "confident," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "likely," "plans," "projects," "should," variations of such words, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These statements do not guarantee future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, events, or assumptions that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are the following: fluctuations in currency and inflation; fluctuations in the price of lumber; adverse or unusual weather conditions; adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve; changes in tariffs, import/export regulations, and other trade policies; concentration of sales to customers; the success of vertical integration strategies; excess capacity or supply chain challenges; inbound and outbound transportation costs; alternatives to replace treated wood products; government regulations, particularly involving environmental and safety regulations; our ability to make successful business acquisitions; cybersecurity breaches; and potential pandemics. Certain of these risk factors as well as other risk factors and additional information are included in the Company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release includes certain financial information not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow, non-GAAP financial measures, in order to evaluate historical and ongoing operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in order to enable investors to perform meaningful comparisons of historical and current performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow are intended to supplement and should be read together with the financial results. Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow should not be considered alternatives or substitutes for, and should not be considered superior to, the reported financial results. Accordingly, users of this financial information should not place undue reliance on the non-GAAP financial measures. See the table below for a reconciliation of Net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Cash flow from operations to Free cash flow.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. In calculating adjusted EBITDA, we make certain adjustments, including for share-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on the disposition and impairment of assets, and impairment of intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net earnings as a percentage of net sales (net margin). For the six months ended June 27, 2026, our net margin was 4.0 percent, and our adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as described above, was 7.9 percent. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because certain reconciling items and certain discrete tax items cannot be reasonably predicted due to the long-term nature of this target and the inherent variability and uncertainty of such items. These items could individually or in the aggregate be significant to the difference between adjusted EBITDA margin and the comparable GAAP measure.

THORNTON, Colo., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MYR Group Inc. (“MYR or the "Company”) (NASDAQ: MYRG), a holding company of leading specialty contractors serving the electric utility infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction markets in the United States and Canada, announced today its second-quarter and first-half 2026 financial results.
Highlights for Second Quarter 2026
Record quarterly revenues of $1.08 billionRecord quarterly net income of $49.9 million, or $3.17 per diluted shareRecord quarterly EBITDA of $85.0 millionRecord backlog of $3.16 billion Management Comments
Rick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said, “Our strong second quarter performance drove record quarterly revenues of $1.08 billion, while backlog reached $3.16 billion at quarter-end. These results reflect the continued strength of our core markets, ongoing investment in electrical infrastructure, and sustained customer demand across our business. The acquisition of Valley Electric and Comet Electric, which closed on July 1, further enhances our C&I capabilities and expands our geographic footprint, allowing us to deliver a broader range of solutions to both existing and new customers. We continue to see a healthy pipeline of quality bidding opportunities and remain focused on pursuing strategic growth opportunities while strengthening the long-standing relationships that are central to our success. With strong market fundamentals, a growing portfolio of capabilities, and a disciplined approach to project selection and execution, we believe we are well positioned to deliver continued growth and create long-term value for our shareholders.”
Second Quarter Results
MYR reported second-quarter 2026 revenues of $1.08 billion, an increase of $181.4 million, compared to the second quarter of 2025. Specifically, our Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) segment reported quarterly revenues of $524.0 million, an increase of $17.7 million, from the second quarter of 2025, due to increases in revenue on T&E contracts and unit price contracts, partially offset by a decrease in revenue on fixed price contracts. Our Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) segment reported record quarterly revenues of $557.7 million, an increase of $163.6 million, from the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in revenue on fixed priced contracts.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $142.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $103.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in gross profit was due to higher margin and revenues. Gross margin increased to 13.2 percent for the second quarter of 2026 from 11.5 percent for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to significant changes in our estimated gross profit on certain projects, related to better-than-anticipated productivity, favorable job close outs and an increase in scope on certain projects. These margin increases were partially offset by an increase in costs associated with project inefficiencies on certain projects. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a net gross margin increase of 0.9 percent for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net gross margin decrease of 1.0 percent for the second quarter of 2025.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to $74.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $63.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in employee incentive compensation costs and an increase in employee-related expenses to support future growth.
Interest income increased to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2026. Interest income was not significant for the second quarter of 2025. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to higher average balances held in money market accounts in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Interest expense decreased to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. The period-over-period decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balances during the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Income tax expense was $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, with an effective tax rate of 25.7 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 29.2 percent. The period-over-period change in tax rate was primarily due to a favorable impact from stock compensation excess tax benefits, partially offset by the impact of the net CFC tested income (“NCTI”) and other permanent difference items.
For the second quarter of 2026, net income was $49.9 million, or $3.17 per diluted share, compared to $26.5 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, for the same period of 2025. Second-quarter 2026 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $85.0 million, compared to $55.6 million in the second quarter of 2025.
First-Half Results
MYR reported first-half 2026 revenues of $2.08 billion, an increase of $348.2 million, compared to the first half of 2025. Specifically, our T&D segment reported revenues of $1.06 billion, an increase of $97.0 million, from the first half of 2025, due to increases in revenue on unit price contracts and T&E contracts, partially offset by a decrease in revenue on fixed price contracts. Our C&I segment reported revenues of $1.02 billion, an increase of $251.2 million, from the first half of 2025, primarily due to an increase in revenue on fixed priced contracts.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $277.1 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $200.6 million in the first half of 2025. The increase in gross profit was due to higher margin and revenues. Gross margin increased to 13.3 percent for the first half of 2026 from 11.6 percent for the first half of 2025. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to significant changes in our estimated gross profit on certain projects, related to better-than-anticipated productivity, an increase in scope on certain projects and favorable job close outs. These margin increases were partially offset by an increase in costs associated with project inefficiencies on certain projects. Gross margin was also positively impacted during the first half of 2026, by a larger portion of our projects progressing at higher contractual margins, some of which are nearing or are at completion. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a net gross margin increase of 0.7 percent for the first half of 2026, compared to a net gross margin decrease of 1.2 percent for the first half of 2025.
SG&A increased to $143.8 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $125.8 million for the first half of 2025. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in employee incentive compensation costs and an increase in employee-related expenses to support future growth.
Interest income increased to $1.8 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $0.2 million for the first half of 2025. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to higher average balances held in money market accounts in the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025.
Interest expense decreased to $1.4 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $3.3 million for the first half of 2025. The period-over-period decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balances and lower interest rates during the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025.
Income tax expense was $34.5 million for the first half of 2026, with an effective tax rate of 26.3 percent, compared to income tax expense of $20.4 million for the first half of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 29.1 percent. The period-over-period change in tax rate was primarily due to a favorable impact from stock compensation excess tax benefits, partially offset by the impact of NCTI and other permanent difference items.
For the first half of 2026, net income was $96.7 million, or $6.15 per diluted share, compared to $49.8 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, for the same period of 2025.
Backlog
As of June 30, 2026, MYR's backlog was $3.16 billion, which was an increase of $518.4 million, or 19.6 percent, from the $2.64 billion reported as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, T&D backlog was $1.27 billion and C&I backlog was $1.89 billion.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2026, MYR had $460.5 million of borrowing availability under its $490 million revolving credit facility and $137.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement MYR’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), MYR uses certain non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found at the end of this release. MYR’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
MYR believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they (i) provide both management and investors meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results, (ii) permit investors to view MYR’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate MYR’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (iii) publicly disclose results that are relevant to financial covenants included in MYR’s credit facility and (iv) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating MYR.

(1)Last-twelve-months earnings per share is the sum of earnings per share reported in the last four quarters.(2)Last-twelve-months weighted average basic and diluted shares were determined by adding the weighted average shares reported for the last four quarters and dividing by four.(3)Funded debt includes outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our outstanding equipment notes.(4)These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance, our prospects for future performance and our ability to comply with certain material covenants as defined within our credit agreement, and to compare our results with those of our peers. In addition, we believe that certain of the measures, such as book value, tangible book value, free cash flow, asset turnover, return on equity, and debt leverage are measures that are monitored by sureties, lenders, lessors, suppliers and certain investors. Our calculation of each measure is described in the following notes; our calculation may not be the same as the calculations made by other companies.(5)EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to net cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement are based on EBITDA with certain additional adjustments, including our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio, which we must comply with to avoid potential immediate repayment of amounts borrowed or additional fees to seek relief from our lenders. In addition, management considers EBITDA a useful measure because it provides MYR Group Inc. and its investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes to not directly reflect the company’s core operations. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our financial statements in evaluating the company’s operating performance and cash flow because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, useful lives placed on assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.(6)EBITDA per diluted share is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. EBITDA per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.(7)EBIA, net of taxes is defined as net income plus net interest plus amortization of intangible assets, less the tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets. The tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets is computed by multiplying net interest and amortization of intangible assets by the effective tax rate. Management uses EBIA, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing and amortization of intangible assets costs.(8)Free cash flow, which is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities minus cash flow used in purchasing property and equipment, is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or the change in cash on the balance sheet. Management views free cash flow as a measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health.(9)Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total shareholders’ equity at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding.(10)Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets outstanding at the end of the period from shareholders’ equity. Tangible book value is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to book value or shareholders’ equity.(11)Tangible book value per period end share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the period end number of shares outstanding. Tangible book value per period end share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.(12)The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total shareholders’ equity at the end of the period.(13)Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.(14)Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.(15)Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total shareholders’ equity at the beginning of the period.(16)Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBIA, net of taxes, less any dividends, by average invested capital. Return on invested capital is not recognized under GAAP, and is a key metric used by management to determine our executive compensation.(17)Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to the period end balance of common stock outstanding. Period end shares is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to diluted shares. Management views period end shares as a better measure of shares outstanding as of the end of the period.(18)Average invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total shareholders’ equity and calculating the average of the beginning and ending of each period.
The Ensign Group zvýšila celoroční výhled zisku i tržeb na rok 2026 po silném 2. čtvrtletí, kdy tržby vzrostly o 17,3 % na 1,4 miliardy USD a EPS o 16,7 % na 1,68 USD.
The Ensign Group NASDAQ: ENSG raised its 2026 earnings and revenue outlook after reporting second-quarter gains in revenue, earnings and occupancy, while highlighting continued acquisition activity and clinical quality measures across its skilled nursing portfolio.
For the second quarter, the company reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.68, up 16.7% from a year earlier. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 20.8% to $1.92. Consolidated GAAP revenue and adjusted revenue each rose 17.3% to $1.4 billion, while GAAP net income increased 18.2% to $99.7 million. Adjusted net income grew 22.5% to $114.3 million.

Higher 2026 Outlook Chief Executive Officer Barry Port said the company increased its full-year 2026 diluted earnings guidance to $7.75 to $7.85 per share, from prior guidance of $7.48 to $7.62 per share. Ensign also raised its annual revenue forecast to between $5.87 billion and $5.92 billion, compared with its earlier outlook of $5.81 billion to $5.86 billion.
Port said the midpoint of the revised earnings outlook would represent growth of 18.7% over 2025 and 41.8% over 2024. CFO Suzanne Snapper said the guidance incorporates acquisitions completed and expected to close during the third quarter, as well as management’s expectations for reimbursement rates.
Snapper said the company ended June with $262.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and generated $272.1 million in operating cash flow. Ensign spent more than $460 million during the first half of 2026 on its growth strategy, while its lease-adjusted net debt-to-EBITDA ratio stood at 2 times. The company had more than $592 million available under its credit line, giving it more than $850 million of available liquidity when combined with cash on hand.
The company paid a quarterly cash dividend of 6.5 cents per common share and said it has raised its annual dividend for 23 consecutive years.
Occupancy, Skilled Mix and Quality Measures Port said same-store occupancy was 84.1% in the second quarter, while transitioning facilities had occupancy of 84.7%. Combined same-store and transitioning-facility revenue increased 10.7% year over year, while days increased 6.7%.
Managed care revenue rose 6.1% for same-store operations and 16.2% for transitioning operations. Skilled-mix days increased 6.2% and 9.4%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2025.
The company said more than 80% of its skilled nursing operations had four- or five-star CMS quality-measure ratings at quarter-end. Port said Ensign’s same-store facilities recorded quality-measure ratings 23% above averages in the states where it operates. He also said Cycle 1 inspection results were 18% better than state averages and 26% better than county averages.
According to Port, Ensign’s rehospitalization rates and long-stay emergency department visit rates were better than national averages by 15% and 24%, respectively. The company said it had no CMS Special Focus Facilities among its affiliated operations.
During the question-and-answer session, President and COO Spencer Burton said CMS methodology changes to five-star ratings are expected to affect the company, but preliminary analysis suggests the impact could be less severe than industry expectations. Burton said improvements in other rating areas may offset some changes, and the net effect on Ensign’s overall five-star ratings “is actually looking to not be that much.”
Reserve Turnaround Highlights Clinical Model Burton highlighted The Reserve, a 135-bed skilled nursing operation in the Charleston, South Carolina, area that Ensign acquired in 2023 while it was under state conservatorship and designated as a CMS Special Focus Facility.
Prior to the transition, the facility had received a Cycle 1 survey score of 500 points, which Burton said was more than 900% worse than the South Carolina average. The operation had low occupancy, staffing shortages, contract labor use and limited ability to accept admissions.
Burton said The Reserve exited the Special Focus Facility program six months after the acquisition and has since recorded three consecutive deficiency-free health inspections. It now has a five-star CMS overall rating and five-star quality-measure rating, according to the company.
The facility reached 100% occupancy during the second quarter and averaged 92% occupancy for the period, compared with 83% in the prior-year quarter. Skilled days rose 39%, managed care revenue increased 69%, total revenue rose 18% and EBIT increased 97% from a year earlier, Burton said.
Acquisitions Expand Texas Presence Chief Investment Officer Chad Keetch said Ensign added 20 operations during and after the quarter, all including real estate assets. The purchases brought the number of operations acquired during 2025 and since to 71.
The latest additions included 19 operations in Texas and one in Iowa, adding 2,392 skilled nursing beds, 100 senior living beds and 55 independent living beds. Keetch said recently acquired operations now account for 18% of the company’s portfolio.
He described the Texas properties as newly constructed, high-quality facilities in growing metropolitan markets, but said they generally have below-average occupancy for their geographies and face clinical and operational challenges. The facilities are not currently accretive, Port said, and may take time to generate expected returns.
Keetch said the company reviewed more than 350 acquisition opportunities within its markets so far this year and completed 25 transactions. He said leadership planning remains a central consideration in acquisition decisions, with Ensign sometimes retaining existing administrators and other times installing experienced leaders or graduates of its administrator-in-training program.
Standard Bearer Healthcare REIT added 23 assets during and after the quarter, including two senior living communities in Wisconsin and a memory-care facility in California that will be operated by third parties under triple-net leases. The REIT owned 177 properties at quarter-end, including 140 leased to Ensign-affiliated operators and 38 leased to third-party operators.
Standard Bearer generated $44.1 million in rental revenue during the quarter, including $37.8 million from Ensign-affiliated operations, and reported $24.7 million in funds from operations. Its EBITDA-to-rent coverage ratio was 2.4 times at quarter-end.

(NYSE: AWK) today reported adjusted results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, of $1.61 per share, compared to $1.49 per share for the same quarter in 2025 and $2.62 per share for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.51 per share for the same period in 2025.
"The company has delivered solid results for the first half of the year and we are pleased to have received a constructive decision in our Pennsylvania general rate case to begin the second half of 2026," said John Griffith, President and CEO of American Water. "We are also encouraged with the continuing progress we and Essential Utilities are making in merger integration planning and have received three state regulatory approvals for the merger so far," added Griffith.
2026 EPS Guidance and Long-Term Financial Targets Affirmed
The company affirms its 2026 adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") guidance range of $6.02 to $6.12 (non-GAAP). The 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range does not include (i) transaction costs to be incurred by the company during 2026 related to the proposed merger with Essential Utilities, Inc. ("Essential Utilities"), (ii) impacts of weather during 2026, and (iii) incremental interest income through February 13, 2026 related to the 2024 amendment of the former Homeowner Services Group ("HOS") secured seller note. Management is unable to present a reconciliation of the adjusted EPS guidance range to a GAAP guidance range without unreasonable effort because management cannot reliably predict the nature, amount or probable significance of all of such adjustments for future periods; however, these adjustments may, individually or in the aggregate, cause adjusted EPS to differ significantly from GAAP EPS. The company also affirms its long-term financial targets, including its long-term EPS and dividend growth rate targets of 7-9%. The company's earnings forecasts are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those described under "Adjustments to GAAP" and "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" below and under "Risk Factors" in its annual, quarterly, and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Revenue growth through the implementation of new rates for both the three- and six-month 2026 periods in the Regulated Businesses from the recovery of capital and acquisition investments was partially offset by increased operating costs and higher depreciation and financing costs to support the current capital investment plan.
During the first six months of 2026, the company invested $1.8 billion in infrastructure improvements and growth, including $346 million for regulated acquisitions. The company plans to invest a total of approximately $3.7 billion across its footprint in 2026, including acquisitions.
Regulated Businesses
In the second quarter of 2026, the Regulated Businesses' net income was $331 million, compared to $288 million for the same period in 2025. For the first six months of 2026, the Regulated Businesses' net income was $539 million, compared to $489 million for the same period in 2025.
Operating revenues increased $90 million and $152 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in operating revenues was primarily a result of authorized revenue increases from completed general rate cases and infrastructure proceedings for the recovery of incremental capital and acquisition investments, as well as incremental revenue from closed acquisitions.
Since January 1, 2026, the company has been authorized additional annualized revenues of $216 million, with $111 million from general rate cases and $105 million from infrastructure surcharges. The company has general rate cases in progress in six jurisdictions and has filed for an infrastructure surcharge in one jurisdiction, reflecting a total annualized incremental revenue request of $494 million.
Operating expenses were higher by $29 million and $73 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, due in part to increased production costs from higher purchased water cost and usage and increased purchased power and chemicals costs. Operating expenses also include depreciation expense, which was higher by $21 million and $42 million in the same periods, due to the increase in capital investment.
Interest expense was higher by $11 million and $23 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, as a result of incremental short and long-term debt primarily to fund capital investments.
Equity Forward Sale Agreements
In August 2025, the Company entered into separate forward sale agreements (the "Forward Sale Agreements") with several forward purchasers relating to an aggregate of 8,098,592 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial forward price of $139.657 per share. The Forward Sale Agreements provide for settlement on a settlement date or dates to be specified at the Company's discretion on or prior to December 31, 2026.
During June 2026, the Company elected to physically settle an aggregate of 3,403,756 shares at the applicable forward price provided in the relevant Forward Sale Agreements. The total net proceeds received by the Company from these settlements were $476 million.
As of June 30, 2026, 4,694,836 shares of the Company's common stock remain available for future settlement under the remaining Forward Sale Agreements. The Company intends to use any net cash proceeds that it may receive upon future settlement of the Forward Sale Agreements for general corporate purposes.
Dividends
On July 29, 2026, the company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.8950 per share, payable on September 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of August 11, 2026.

Throughout this press release, unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "company" and "American Water" mean American Water Works Company, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole. All statements related to earnings and earnings per share refer to diluted earnings and earnings per share.
Adjustments to GAAP
This press release includes presentations of consolidated adjusted diluted EPS, both as historical financial information and as earnings guidance. These presentations of adjusted EPS constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for historical adjusted EPS is the reported diluted earnings per share (GAAP) and is reconciled in "Consolidated Results and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation" above. See also "2026 EPS Guidance and Long-Term Financial Targets Affirmed" above for more information on adjustments made to diluted EPS for purposes of earnings guidance.
These non-GAAP financial measures are derived from the company's consolidated financial information but are not presented in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful information by excluding certain matters that may not be indicative of the company's ongoing operating results, and, with respect to weather, to provide for a measure of the company's operating performance without the variability of estimated weather impacts, and that providing these non-GAAP measures will allow investors to better understand the businesses' operating performance and facilitate a meaningful year-to-year comparison of the company's results of operations. Although management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the company's results of operations, management does not intend results reflected by these non-GAAP measures to represent results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider them as indicators of performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures as defined and used above may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and, accordingly, they may have significant limitations on their use.
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

“Landmark’s strong second quarter results reflected record revenue of more than $19 million, solid earnings performance, and continued improvement in profitability,” said Abby Wendel, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our continued revenue growth demonstrates the strength of our relationship-based banking model, disciplined pricing strategies, and prudent balance sheet management.”
Ms. Wendel continued, “We were pleased to see loan growth accelerate during the second quarter, especially across all areas of our commercial and agricultural-related loan portfolios, driven by our team’s focus on attracting new clients while deepening relationships with existing clients. And while nonperforming loans, which increased during the quarter, remain higher than we would like, we are making steady progress improving the overall portfolio quality through proactive management and the resolution of credits that no longer align with our credit risk profile. Strong capital generation continues to strengthen our balance sheet which supports ongoing investments in talent, technology and facilities to enhance the customer and associate experience.”

SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income in the second quarter of 2026 totaled $15.1 million, representing an increase of $57,000, or 0.4%, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $1.4 million, or 10.2%, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net interest income this quarter compared to both the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2025 was driven by higher rates on investments despite lower average balances, coupled with lower interest expense on deposits and other borrowings which more than offset a slight decrease in loan yields. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.22%, a decrease of two basis points from 4.24% during the prior quarter and an increase of 39 basis points from 3.83% during the second quarter of the prior year. The average tax-equivalent yield on the investment securities portfolio grew to 3.66%, compared to 3.55% in the prior quarter and 3.34% in the second quarter of 2025 as lower-rate securities matured during the quarter. The average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio declined nine basis points as compared to the prior quarter and decreased six basis points as compared to the second quarter of the prior year.
Compared to the first quarter of 2026, interest on deposits decreased $262,000, or 5.7%, due to lower rates, coupled with decreased average balances as brokered deposits declined. Interest on other borrowed funds increased $208,000 from the first quarter of 2026, driven by higher average balances, partially offset by a decrease in rates. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased eight basis points from the prior quarter, to 1.82%, primarily due to lower rates on certificates of deposit. The average rate on other borrowed funds decreased 31 basis points to 4.54% in the second quarter of 2026, offset by an increase in average balances in borrowings from the FHLB.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, interest on deposits decreased $795,000, or 15.5%, due to lower rates, coupled with decreased average balances. Interest on other borrowed funds decreased $449,000 from the second quarter of the prior year, due to lower rates and average balances. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 32 basis points from the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower rates on money market and checking accounts and certificates of deposit. The average rate on other borrowed funds decreased 44 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $331,000 from the prior quarter and an increase of $469,000 from the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase of $356,000 in gains on the sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold in the secondary market.
The increase in non-interest income as compared to the second quarter of the prior year was primarily due to an increase of $501,000 in gains on the sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold in the secondary market.
Non-Interest Expense
During the second quarter of 2026, non-interest expense totaled $12.0 million, an increase of $63,000, or 0.5%, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $1.0 million, or 9.1%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Compared to the prior quarter, the increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $487,000 in professional fees and $246,000 in compensation and benefits expense. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $364,000 in other expense and $243,000 in occupancy and equipment expense. The increase in professional fees was attributable to $270,000 in one-time forensic accounting and legal costs related to previously disclosed fraudulent activity by a non-executive officer of the bank, coupled with an increase in consulting expenses for talent recruitment and development, and internal audit co-sourcing. The increase in compensation and benefits was attributable to higher incentive compensation expense in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in other expense was primarily due to $433,000 of fraud losses related to fraudulent activity by a non-executive officer of the bank, which was identified during the first quarter. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was related to expenses incurred to upgrade our core branch operation systems during the first quarter of 2026.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, the increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $711,000 in professional fees and $335,000 in compensation and benefits. The increase in professional fees was attributable to $270,000 in one-time forensic accounting and legal costs related to previously disclosed fraudulent activity as outlined above, coupled with an increase in consulting expenses for talent recruitment and development, and internal audit co-sourcing. The increase in compensation and benefits was attributable to an increase in the number of employees in the current year, coupled with higher benefits expense as compared to the prior year.
Income Tax Expense
Landmark recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.3 million in the prior quarter, and $944,000 in the second quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate was 19.7% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 19.8% in the prior quarter and 17.7% in the second quarter of 2025.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of June 30, 2026, gross period-end loans totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of $3.3 million from the prior quarter, while average loans declined $3.2 million. The increase in period-end loans was primarily driven by higher construction and land loans (growth of $4.5 million), commercial loans (growth of $1.5 million) and agriculture loans (growth of $1.5 million), offset by a decline in one-to-four family residential real estate loans (decline of $4.0 million). Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $1.3 million during the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to maturities occurring during the quarter.
Period-end deposit balances decreased $17.7 million to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2026, an annualized decrease of 5.4% compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in deposits was driven primarily by a decline in brokered deposits and more specifically by decreases in certificates of deposit and savings accounts of $33.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases in non-interest-bearing demand deposits ($12.8 million increase) and money market and checking accounts ($6.7 million increase). Total period-end borrowings increased $15.7 million during the second quarter of 2026. At June 30, 2026, the loan to deposits ratio was 83.5%, compared to 82.1% in the prior quarter.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $166.9 million (book value of $27.35 per share) as of June 30, 2026, from $161.6 million (book value of $26.50 per share) as of March 31, 2026. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to net earnings for the quarter net of dividends paid, coupled with a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive losses (lower unrealized net losses on investment securities). The ratio of equity to total assets increased to 10.39% on June 30, 2026, from 10.06% on March 31, 2026.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $12.7 million, or 1.15% of total gross loans, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $12.6 million, or 1.15% of total gross loans, as of March 31, 2026.

Nonperforming loan balances guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) were $19.0 million, $26.7 million, and $21.2 million as of June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively “Our second quarter earnings of $0.15 per share were short of our expectations driven by higher provision expense on the loans where we retain credit risk. The higher provision resulted primarily from losses incurred on sale of property collateralizing, and increased reserves on, classified loans. We will continue to empower our credit and compliance teams to identify and prune risk proactively as they did this quarter, reducing our non-performing loan balance by $12.1 million from $49.8 million last quarter to $37.7 million this quarter,” said Jim Noone, CEO of FinWise Bancorp.
"While we are actively managing risk in the portfolio, the business continues to make solid progress. We delivered $1.6 billion in originations from an increasingly diversified partner base. Tangible book value per share grew to $14.55 and we signed a new strategic program with a well-established prepaid card provider that will use a combination of our BIN Sponsorship and MoneyRails services. Our sales pipeline today is materially stronger, and potentially more meaningful to our bottom line. And our recently announced acquisition of the Tallied Technologies platform makes FinWise more competitive for new partners that require a broad product offering. Taken together, FinWise remains well-positioned for sustained growth and firmly focused on translating that strength and momentum into lasting value for our shareholders.”

This non-GAAP measure reflects the portion of credit loss provision that is not covered by strategic partners with credit enhancement and therefore represents the Company’s provision expense for the credit exposure retained by the Company. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.(2)FinWise uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted EPS as restricted stock awards are considered participating securities due to the dividend rights associated with those awards. Effective December 31, 2025, executive management elected to waive the dividend rights on their unvested restricted stock awards, and this waiver extends to restricted stock awards granted in 2026 to directors and various other employees. As a result, these unvested shares are no longer treated as participating securities and are excluded from the two-class method calculation of EPS. The impact on basic and diluted earnings per share was de minimis, and previously reported periods are not affected.(3)Annualized for the respective three-month periods.(4)Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. The efficiency ratio is defined as total non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. The Company believes this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.(5)Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity to total assets. The Company had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. The Company has not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee assets as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity at the end of each of the periods indicated. Loan Originations
Loan originations totaled $1.6 billion for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease from the $1.7 billion recorded in the prior quarter and an increase from the $1.5 billion recorded in the prior year period. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by seasonally lower origination volume in the student loan program, partially offset by continued growth in several of the Company's other established programs. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by this same growth across established programs. Consistent with the change in originations, average balances of loans held for sale and held for investment decreased slightly compared to the prior quarter, but increased compared to the prior-year period.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was $28.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $28.1 million for the prior quarter and $14.7 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in the credit-enhanced loan portfolio and a decrease in the migration of performing loans to nonperforming loans, which resulted in a lower reversal of interest on nonaccrual loans and contributed to an increase in the average yield on loans held-for-investment. These increases were partially offset by a decline in average balances within held for investment portfolio. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to the increase in the credit enhanced loans and a change in estimate, based on additional information and experience, on the allocation of interest received on credit enhanced loans in excess of the amount FinWise retains. FinWise now estimates that all excess interest is attributable to servicing and credit guarantee expense, whereas in the prior year it had been estimated that a portion was attributable to origination costs, or finders' fees, and was reported in net interest income.
Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 13.69%, compared to 12.90% for the prior quarter and 7.81% for the prior year period. The increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter results from the growth in the credit-enhanced loan portfolio, a decrease in nonaccrual loans, and a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in net interest margin from the prior-year period results from growth in the higher yielding credit-enhanced portfolio average balance and higher yields on loans held for investment, the change in estimated allocation of excess interest as previously described, and slightly lower rates paid on deposits.
Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses on these loans differs from the core portfolio, as it is fully offset by expected recoveries under the partner guarantee, which is recognized as credit enhancement income in non-interest income. The Company’s provision for credit losses was $22.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $10.6 million for the prior quarter and $4.7 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in the credit-enhanced loan programs and increased provisioning in the core loan portfolio as the Company recognized losses in liquidating, and increased reserves on, non-performing loans and classified other loans. The Company has also adopted more conservative servicing and administrative standards for the SBA and commercial real estate products specific to those characteristics identified as common to many of the loans migrating to non-performing status over the past 18 months. This change has accelerated the classification of nonperforming loans and provisioning for loans with those identified characteristics. The year-over-year increase in the Strategic Program loans with credit enhancement provision was primarily related to growth in the credit-enhanced portfolio.
Non-interest Income
Three Months Ended($ in thousands)6/30/2026 3/31/2026 6/30/2025Non-interest income Strategic Program fees$5,310 $5,702 $5,404 Gain on sale of loans 1,480 1,452 1,483 SBA loan servicing fees, net 80 158 (96)Change in fair value on investment in BFG (200) (200) 300 Interchange income 679 703 — Credit enhancement income 16,678 5,864 2,275 Other miscellaneous income 1,567 948 971 Total non-interest income$25,594 $14,627 $10,337
The increase in non-interest income from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement income, which corresponds to the provision for credit losses on credit-enhanced loans and increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. In addition, the Company prevailed in litigation with an offboarded strategic partner, which resulted in an increase in miscellaneous income of $0.5 million.
The increase in non-interest income compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement income, driven by growth in credit-enhanced loan balances. The increase was also attributable to interchange income, a new revenue stream during the period, as well as the increase in other miscellaneous income as previously described. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in BFG investment fair value.
Non-interest Expense

The increase in non-interest expense from the prior quarter resulted primarily from increases in credit enhancement guarantee and servicing expenses largely resulting from an increase in interest income attributable to the credit enhanced loan portfolio. Excluding the credit enhancement related expenses, non-interest expense declined $0.2 million.
The increase in non-interest expense from the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement guarantee and servicing expenses resulting from growth in credit enhanced loans and salaries and employee benefits principally from increased headcount.
FinWise’s efficiency ratio was 53.1% for the second quarter, compared to 66.3% for the prior quarter and 59.5% for the prior year period. We expect the efficiency ratio to continue to improve as we realize increased revenues from interest earned on our growing credit enhanced loan balances.
Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.0% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 28.0% for the prior quarter and 24.5% for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year period was principally due to the apportionment of income between states with various tax rates.
Net Income
Net income was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.7 million for the prior quarter and $4.1 million for the prior year period. The changes in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior quarter and prior year period are generally the result of the factors discussed in the foregoing sections.
Balance Sheet
The Company’s total assets were $925.3 million as of June 30, 2026, an increase from $899.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and an increase from $842.5 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in total assets from March 31, 2026 was primarily due to increases in the Company’s credit enhancement loans of $11.7 million, credit enhancement asset of $8.5 million, and loans held-for-sale portfolio of $41.3 million. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in loans held-for-investment (excluding the credit enhanced loans) of $26.9 million and an increase in the allowance for credit loss of $9.5 million. The increase in total assets compared to June 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in the Company’s credit enhancement loans of $109.1 million, credit enhancement asset of $29.4 million, and loans held-for-sale portfolio of $27.9 million. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in loans held-for-investment (excluding the credit enhanced loans) of $69.9 million and an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $31.2 million.
The following table provides the composition and gross balances of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”) as of the dates indicated:

Note: SBA loans as of June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 include $66.1 million, $95.1 million and $144.3 million, respectively, of SBA 7(a) loan balances that are guaranteed by the SBA.
Total gross loans HFI as of June 30, 2026 decreased $12.9 million and increased $41.3 million compared to March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The declines in the SBA portfolio resulted primarily from sales of the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans and increased charge-offs, reflecting ongoing portfolio and credit risk management. The credit enhanced portfolio of the Strategic Program loans as of June 30, 2026 increased $11.7 million and $109.1 million compared to March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, reflecting our 2025 strategic initiative to develop the credit enhanced portfolio.
The following table presents the Company’s deposit composition as of the dates indicated:

The increase in total deposits as of June 30, 2026 from March 31, 2026 was primarily due to growth in interest-bearing demand deposits and time certificates of deposit, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, reflecting a shift in customer/partner balances toward interest-bearing products. Time certificates of deposit balances grew primarily during the latter part of the second quarter, which contributed to the period-end increase, while average time certificates of deposit balances for the quarter declined compared to the prior quarter, as reflected in the average balance table. The increase in total deposits as of June 30, 2026 from June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by growth in interest-bearing demand deposits and time certificates of deposit, which were utilized to fund loan growth and enhance the Company's liquidity profile.
Total shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2026 increased $2.6 million to $199.2 million from $196.6 million at March 31, 2026. Compared to June 30, 2025, total shareholders’ equity increased by $17.2 million from $182.0 million. The increases from March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 were primarily due to net income generated throughout the respective periods.
Bank Regulatory Capital Ratios
The following table presents the leverage ratios for the Bank as of the dates indicated as determined under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation:
As of Capital Ratios6/30/2026 3/31/2026 6/30/2025 Well-Capitalized RequirementLeverage ratio18.1% 16.8% 18.0% 9.0%
The increase in the leverage ratio from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in capital from earnings exceeding the relative growth in average asset balances. The slight increase from the prior year period resulted primarily from growth in capital from earnings exceeding the relative growth in the loan portfolio and average assets. The Bank’s capital levels as of June 30, 2026 remain sufficiently above the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines as of June 30, 2026.
Share Repurchase Program
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has repurchased a total of 29,736 shares for $0.4 million under the Company’s share repurchase program announced in May 2026, which provides for the purchase of up to 685,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, from time to time, on or before the program's expiration date, in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
Asset Quality
The recorded balances of nonperforming loans were $37.7 million, or 6.6% of total loans held-for-investment, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $49.8 million, or 8.5% of total loans held-for-investment, as of March 31, 2026 and $39.7 million, or 7.5% of total loans held-for-investment, as of June 30, 2025. The balances of nonperforming loans guaranteed by the SBA were $19.0 million, $26.7 million, and $21.2 million as of June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales of real property collateralizing the nonperforming SBA 7(a) and commercial real estate and the resulting paydown of the loan balance. The Company’s allowance for credit losses to total loans held-for-investment was 8.3% as of June 30, 2026 compared to 6.5% as of March 31, 2026 and 3.1% as of June 30, 2025. The increase in the ratio from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily due to the provision for credit losses related to the growth of the credit enhanced loan balances.
The Company’s net charge-offs were $13.1 million, $9.4 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in net charge-offs from the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2025 resulted primarily from higher net charge-offs associated with credit enhanced strategic program loans as that program increased in size and matured. FinWise is reimbursed in full for the losses on the credit enhanced loan portfolio. Charge-offs for the traditional bank portfolio totaled $3.3 million in the second quarter compared to $2.3 million in the prior quarter and $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Charge-offs increased compared to the prior quarter and year reflecting resolution of specific loans, particularly in the strategic programs loans that are credit enhanced and the retained portion of the SBA 7(a) loans.

Recent Acquisition
On July 20, 2026, the Company acquired the technology platform and related assets of Tallied Technologies, Inc., the credit card issuance and processing platform that has powered the Bank's co-branded credit card programs. With this acquisition, the Company now owns its card technology stack end-to-end, from application, through issuing, processing and servicing. FinWise expects integration and transition costs of approximately $4.0 million in total over the next year (amount excludes amortization of acquired assets) with costs tapering over the period. The transaction results in the credit card receivable being reclassified from credit enhancement assets to credit card loan receivable beginning in the third quarter of 2026 as FinWise retains the credit risk while capturing additional interchange and fees subsequent to the transaction.

FinWise has entered into agreements with certain of its Strategic Program service providers pursuant to which they provide credit enhancement on loans which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing the Bank for incurred credit and fraud losses. We estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these Strategic Program loans in accordance with GAAP, which requires estimation of the provision without consideration of the credit enhancement. When the provision for expected losses over the life of the loans that are subject to such credit enhancement is recorded, a credit enhancement asset reflecting the future recovery of those estimated credit losses pursuant to the strategic partner’s guarantee to assume the Bank’s credit losses on each of the loans in the respective guaranteed portfolio is also recorded on the balance sheet in the form of non-interest income (credit enhancement income). Reimbursement or indemnification for incurred losses is provided for in the form of a deposit reserve account that is replenished periodically by the respective Strategic Program service provider. The credit enhancement asset is reduced as credit enhancement payments and recoveries are received from the Strategic Program service provider or taken from its cash reserve account. If the Strategic Program service provider is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations under its credit enhancement agreement, then the Bank could be exposed to the loss of the reimbursement and credit enhancement income as a result of this counterparty risk. In the event the Strategic Program service provider is not able to perform according to the contractual terms, the Bank is entitled to receive all the income on the loans. The Bank incurs expenses for the amounts owed to the strategic partner for the credit guarantee and for servicing of the credit enhanced portfolio, if applicable (credit enhancement program expenses). See the following reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures for the impact of the credit enhancement on our financial condition and results. Note that these amounts are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures.

Income Statement
Net interest income increased $339,000, or 5.0%, to $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 due to the increase in interest income of $459,000, offset partially by an increase in interest expense of $120,000. Interest income increased from the increase of average interest earning assets of $11.0 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026. Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 17.3%, compared to the second quarter ended 2025. Net interest income was impacted by the reduction of the federal funds rate of 75 basis points ("bps") in the latter half of 2025, reducing variable rate loans and new loan origination pricing. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company had average variable loans of $98.7 million.
Net interest margin ("NIM") increased nine bps to 4.29% during second quarter of 2026 from 4.20% during the first quarter of 2026 due to an increase in loan yields of 10 bps, offset partially by the increase in cost of total deposit of 4 bps. NIM increased 27 bps compared to 4.02% during the second quarter of 2025 due to the combination of a decrease in total cost of deposits of 16 bps and an increase in yield on loans of 14 bps.
Interest income on loans increased $549,000, or 7.0%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due primarily to an increase in average balances of $21.7 million. Interest income on loans increased $1.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to an increase in the average balance of loans of $57.0 million. The yield on net loans increased 9 bps to 6.25% for the second quarter of 2026 from 6.16% for the first quarter of 2026 due to higher yields on new loan originations and renewals, and higher repricing rates on the adjustable portfolio. Additionally, the Bank experienced elevated prepayment penalties during the second quarter of 2026 resulting in increase in loan yield of 4 bps.
Interest income on investments decreased $207,000 during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to a decrease in average balances of $13.1 million due primarily to principal payments, including the early redemption of a security with significantly higher yield. In addition, the Bank experienced negative interest impacts of its interest rate swap given the lower rate environment during the second quarter of 2026 compared to 2025.
Interest expense on deposits increased $107,000, or 5.1%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due to an increase in average balance of $2.0 million, offset by a decrease in exception pricing rates. Total cost of deposits increased 4 bps to 1.37% for second quarter of 2026 compared to 1.33% for the first quarter of 2026. Total cost of deposits decreased 16 bps compared to 1.53% for the second quarter of 2025. Noninterest bearing demand deposits represent 30.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2026 compared to 30.4% at March 31, 2026.
Total non-interest income decreased $148,000, or 25.0%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to recognition of interest rate swaps of $188,000 during 2025. There were no swap fees recognized during the second quarter of 2026.
Total non-interest expense increased $75,000, or 1.5%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due to an increase in total compensation, primarily related to the newly hired teams. Total non-interest expense increased $640,000 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits related to employee merit increases, additional stock compensation expense from newly granted awards, payroll taxes, and the newly hired teams.
Income tax expense increased $50,000 during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due primarily to an increase in net income. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 17.6% compared to 16.9% during the first quarter of 2026 and 19.4% for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in effective rate compared to 2025 related to a significant increase in tax-exempt loans proportionately to net income during 2026.

Eversource Energy čeká za 2. čtvrtletí EPS 88 centů, tedy meziročně o 8,33 % méně, při tržbách 3,14 miliardy USD. Výsledky má oznámit 30. července po uzavření trhu.
Key Takeaways Eversource is expected to post Q2 EPS of 88 cents, down 8.33%, on revenues of $3.14 billion. Grid upgrades, regulated operations, rate increases and rising electricity demand may support results. Higher interest costs, share dilution and taxes may offset gains, despite the $1.7 billion Aquarion sale. Eversource Energy (ES - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2026 results on July 30, after market close. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 8.81% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Q2 Expectations for ESThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 88 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 8.33%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $3.14 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 10.74%.
Factors Likely to Have Impacted ES’ Q2 EarningsEversource Energy's second-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from its continued investments in grid modernization, transmission and distribution upgrades, and asset replacement.
These investments are expected to have enhanced system reliability by reducing outages, supporting rising electricity demand and renewable energy integration, and contributing positively to quarterly performance.
The company's second-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from its pure-play regulated utility operations, previously approved rate increases and growing electricity demand. On June 30, 2026, ES completed the sale of Aquarion Water Company, generating nearly $1.7 billion. Ongoing cost discipline is also expected to provide additional support to second-quarter results.
However, increased interest expenses, share dilution and higher tax rate may have tempered some of the positive drivers during the to-be-reported quarter.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts for ESOur proven model does not predict an earnings beat for Eversource Energy this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is the case here, as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: The company’s Earnings ESP is -1.08%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Currently, Eversource Energy has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Stocks to ConsiderInvestors may consider the following players from the same industry, as these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this reporting cycle.
Ameren (AEE - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter results on July 31 and is likely to have come up with an earnings beat. It has an Earnings ESP of +0.19% and a Zacks Rank #2 at present.
AEE’s long-term (three to five years) earnings growth rate is 7.68%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter EPS is pinned at $1.08, which implies a year-over-year increase of 6.93%.
Duke Energy (DUK - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter results on Aug. 4 and is likely to have come up with an earnings beat. It has an Earnings ESP of +0.16% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present.
DUK’s long-term earnings growth rate is 6.76%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.29 per share, which suggests a year-over-year increase of 3.20%.
Pinnacle West Capital (PNW - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter results on Aug. 4 and is likely to have come up with an earnings beat. It has an Earnings ESP of +0.95% and a Zacks Rank #2 at present.
PNW’s long-term earnings growth rate is 5.81%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter EPS is pinned at $1.49, which implies a year-over-year decrease of 5.70%.

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures
We believe that use of the Non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss), adjusted net operating income (loss) and adjusted net operating income (loss) per diluted share facilitate the evaluation of the company's core financial performance thereby providing relevant information to investors. These measures are not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance.
Adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP income (loss) before tax, excluding the effects of net realized investment gains (losses), gain and losses on debt extinguishment and infrequent or unusual non-operating items where applicable.
Adjusted net operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding the after-tax effects of net realized investment gains (losses), gain and losses on debt extinguishment and infrequent or unusual non-operating items where applicable. The amounts of adjustments to components of pre-tax operating income (loss) are tax effected using a federal statutory tax rate of 21%.
Adjusted net operating income (loss) per diluted share is calculated in a manner consistent with the accounting standard regarding earnings per share by dividing (i) adjusted net operating income (loss) by (ii) diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, which reflects share dilution from unvested restricted stock units.
Although adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss) and adjusted net operating income (loss) exclude certain items that have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future, the excluded items represent items that are: (1) not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities; or (2) impacted by both discretionary and other economic or regulatory factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends, or both. These adjustments, along with the reasons for their treatment, are described below. Trends in the profitability of our fundamental operating activities can be more clearly identified without the fluctuations of these adjustments. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Therefore, their measures may not be comparable to those used by us.
(1) Net realized investment gains (losses). The recognition of net realized investment gains or losses can vary significantly across periods as the timing of individual securities sales is highly discretionary and is influenced by such factors as market opportunities, our tax and capital profile, and overall market cycles.
(2) Gains and losses on debt extinguishment. Gains and losses on debt extinguishment result from discretionary activities that are undertaken to enhance our capital position, and/or improve our debt profile.
(3) Infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Items that are non-recurring in nature and are not part of our primary operating activities.

The credit score at the time of origination for a loan with multiple borrowers is the lowest of the borrowers' "decision credit scores." A borrower's "decision credit score" is determined as follows: if there are three credit scores available, the middle credit score is used; if two credit scores are available, the lower of the two is used; if only one credit score is available, it is used.

Safe Harbor Statement
Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors:
This release contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current assumptions, expectations, and projections and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements consist of statements which relate to matters other than historical fact, including matters that inherently refer to future events. Among others, statements that include words such as "believe," "anticipate," "will" or "expect," or words of similar import, are forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ, possibly materially, from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ can be found in the "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" sections included in MGIC Investment Corporation's Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Such factors and uncertainties include, without limitation:
Our results are dependent on U.S. economic and housing market conditions; adverse conditions may cause a decrease in new insurance written and/or an increase in delinquencies, claim frequency, and claim severity. Additionally, if the volume of low down payment home mortgage originations declines, the amount of new insurance that we write could decline. The substantial majority of MGIC's new insurance written is for loans purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ("the GSEs"); therefore, changes to their business practices or legislative, regulatory or administrative reforms could materially affect our business and financial results. Failure to comply with the GSEs' Private Mortgage Insurance Eligibility Requirements ("PMIERs") could limit our operations, or at the extreme, lead to suspension or termination of eligibility to insure loans purchased by the GSEs. Loss reserve estimates are subject to uncertainties; actual losses may differ materially from estimates. Additionally, because reserves are established only upon delinquency, losses may disproportionately impact earnings in certain periods. We operate in a highly regulated environment at both the federal and state levels; regulatory changes or enforcement actions may adversely affect our operations and/or financial results. If we fail to meet the State Capital Requirements of Wisconsin, we could be prevented from writing new business in all jurisdictions; we could be prevented from writing new business in a particular jurisdiction if we fail to meet the state capital requirements of that jurisdiction. Pandemics, severe weather events, and climate related developments may negatively affect home prices and affordability, potentially leading to an increase in delinquencies, claim frequency, and claim severity. Actions by government authorities, including FHFA and the GSEs, to address climate related issues could similarly affect our results. The availability, cost, and capital credit for reinsurance may change due to market conditions or GSE actions, potentially requiring us to retain more risk and maintain additional capital. Our financial results may be impacted if lenders and investors seek alternatives to private mortgage insurance. In addition, changes in GSE programs, growth in government market share, or changes to regulatory capital rules to limit capital relief for mortgage insurance could affect our business in similar ways. The premium rates we charge may prove inadequate due to unknown future economic conditions, modelling limitations or errors, or other unexpected events. The length of time our insurance policies remain in force ("persistency") affects our results. Among other things, persistency can be influenced by interest rates, borrower equity, refinancing activity, and mortgage insurance cancellation requirements. Instability in financial markets or counterparty failures, including by reinsurers or mortgage servicers, could increase our credit risk and losses. Ineffective risk management programs, inaccurate data or model errors could impair our ability to identify and respond to risks, and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Technology system failures, cybersecurity breaches, or data privacy incidents could materially disrupt operations and cause financial and reputational damage. Changes in our underwriting practices and mix of business have the potential to increase risk and negatively affect our financial results. Our business depends on hiring and retaining experienced management and key personnel; the failure to do so could disrupt operations and negatively impact our financial condition. The mortgage insurance market is highly competitive. Competition from private mortgage insurers, government programs, and potential new market entrants —combined with pricing pressure and shifting customer preferences and relationships—could lead to a reduction in our new insurance written. Adverse rating agency actions could affect our competitiveness, GSE eligibility, and access to capital. Litigation and regulatory proceedings could result in fines, settlements, operational restrictions, or reputational harm. Our investment portfolio is exposed to risks that could adversely impact our operations and financial results. Future capital needs could require issuance of debt or equity, potentially diluting shareholders. Our stock price may fluctuate due to economic, industry, regulatory, or company specific developments. Regulatory limits on dividends from our insurance subsidiaries have the potential to constrain holding company liquidity and our ability to pay shareholder dividends or repurchase stock in the future. We are not undertaking any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or other statements we may make even though these statements may be affected by events or circumstances occurring after the forward looking statements or other statements were made. No investor should rely on the fact that such statements are current at any time other than the time at which this press release was delivered for dissemination to the public.
While we communicate with security analysts from time to time, it is against our policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential information. Accordingly, investors should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report, and such reports are not our responsibility.
Cohen & Steers Closed-end Opportunity Fund upravuje investiční politiku: od 1. října 2026 bude alespoň 80 % čistých aktiv směřovat do kmenových akcií či jiných cenných papírů vydaných Portfolio Funds obchodovaných na americké nebo neamerické burze.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers Closed-end Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NYSE:FOF) (the "Fund"), announced today that the Fund's Board of Directors has approved certain changes to the Fund's 80% investment policy and related investment strategy disclosure. The changes will be effective October 1, 2026 (the "Effective Time").
At the Effective Time, the existing 80% policy will be replaced with the following new policy: Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets will be invested in common stock or other securities issued by Portfolio Funds which are listed on a U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange.
Additionally, at the Effective Time, the Fund's disclosure will be revised to define "Portfolio Fund" as any closed-end pooled investment vehicle and state that the Fund will consider an investment vehicle to be "closed-end" if it does not offer a daily redemption or repurchase right. As a result of these changes, the Fund will have more flexibility under its 80% policy to invest in a broad range of U.S. and non-U.S. investment vehicles, including vehicles that are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In connection with the above changes, as of the Effective Time, the Fund is adopting the following investment strategy disclosure:
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in the common stock of closed-end pooled investment vehicles (collectively, Portfolio Funds) selected by the Fund's investment manager that invest significantly in equity securities, income-producing securities or other assets, including precious metals and other commodities, real assets and derivatives. Portfolio Funds may invest in both publicly traded and private investments. Types or categories of Portfolio Funds may include, but are not limited to, Portfolio Funds that invest in the following asset classes:
Bank Loans; Convertible Securities; Commodities; Municipal Securities; Income Securities; High Yield Municipal Securities; MLPs; Option Income/Covered Calls; Preferred Securities; Private Credit; Private Equity; Private Real Estate; REITs and other Real Estate Securities; Short Duration Securities; Single Commodity Precious Metals; Taxable Municipal Securities; U.S. General Equity; U.S. High Yield Securities; U.S. Hybrid; U.S. Multi-Sector Securities; U.S. Sector Bond; U.S. Sector Equity; Utilities. Shares of Portfolio Funds in which the Fund invests will be traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange.
Securities and other investments in which Portfolio Funds are expected to focus their investments, along with equity, convertible, preferred and high yield securities and the real estate, energy and utilities sectors, are described with their accompanying risks, under "Principal Risks of the Fund—Portfolio Fund Investment Risk."
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets will be invested in common stock or other securities issued by Portfolio Funds which are listed on a U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange. The Fund will consider an investment vehicle to be "closed-end" if it does not offer a daily redemption or repurchase right. The Fund is unconstrained from an investment perspective with respect to location of Portfolio Funds (e.g., U.S. or non-U.S.), types of interests purchased by Portfolio Funds (i.e., equity or fixed income), strategy/assets held by Portfolio Funds (e.g., precious metals, municipal securities) and whether a Portfolio Fund purchases publicly or privately offered securities. Although most Portfolio Funds are expected to be registered under the 1940 Act, some will not and therefore will not provide investors, such as the Fund, with the protections of the 1940 Act. The Fund's allocations across different types of Portfolio Funds will vary over time, perhaps significantly. The Fund also has the ability to invest directly in equity, income-producing securities, precious metals and other instruments relating to closed-end funds.
In selecting Portfolio Funds, the investment manager seeks to identify closed-end funds that meet one or more of the following characteristics:
strong fundamentals, including ability to meet current and projected future dividend payments out of current income or a combination of current income and realized and unrealized gains, and leverage/risk management, as the investment manager believes that a conservative approach to leverage has the potential to help mitigate the effects of changes in interest rates; relatively high current income; share prices at a discount to net asset value; undervalued funds where recent total return on market price trails recent total return on net asset value; well-regarded asset managers with strong track records managing the asset class(es) in which a Portfolio Fund invests; diversification of sectors and asset classes among the Portfolio Funds; market capitalization generally greater than $200 million; and average daily trading volumes generally greater than $750,000 per day. There is no requirement that any Portfolio Fund in the Fund's portfolio satisfy all the criteria set forth above, and the investment manager will use its discretion in selecting a portfolio of Portfolio Funds that the investment manager believes will help the Fund achieve its investment objective.
In addition to the criteria set forth above, the investment manager also may invest opportunistically in one or more Portfolio Funds when the investment manager believes a Portfolio Fund's shares are not appropriately priced relative to other comparable funds or the Portfolio Fund's share price does not properly reflect the impact of a corporate event or conditions in the overall securities markets that the investment manager believes will have a positive influence on the Portfolio Fund's share price.
The Fund will be limited by provisions of the 1940 Act that limit the amount the Fund can invest in any one Portfolio Fund to 3% of the Portfolio Fund's total outstanding stock. As a result, the Fund may hold a smaller position in a Portfolio Fund than if it were not subject to this restriction. To comply with provisions of the 1940 Act, on any matter upon which Portfolio Fund stockholders are solicited to vote the investment manager will vote Portfolio Fund shares in the same general proportion as shares held by other stockholders of the Portfolio Fund.
The Fund may invest in securities of other closed-end or open-end funds, including exchange traded funds (ETFs) and funds managed by the investment manager, in accordance with Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, or any exemption granted under the 1940 Act.
The Fund may, but is not required to, use, without limit, various derivatives transactions to seek to generate return, facilitate portfolio management and mitigate risks. Although the Fund's investment manager may seek to use these kinds of transactions to further the Fund's investment objectives, no assurance can be given that they will achieve this result. The Fund may enter into (buy or sell) exchange-listed and over-the-counter put and call options on securities (including securities of investment companies and baskets of securities), indices, and other financial instruments; purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options thereon; enter into various interest rate transactions, such as swaps, caps, floors or collars or credit transactions; equity index, total return and credit default swaps; forward contracts; and structured investments. In addition, the Fund may enter into various currency transactions, such as forward currency contracts, currency futures contracts, currency swaps or options on currency or currency futures. The Fund also may purchase and sell derivative instruments that combine features of these instruments. The Fund may invest in other types of derivatives, structured and similar instruments which are not currently available but which may be developed in the future.
The Fund may buy and sell shares of Portfolio Funds to take advantage of potential short-term trading opportunities, but short-term trading will not be used as the primary means of achieving the Fund's investment objective.
Temporary Defensive Positions. When the investment manager believes that market or general economic conditions justify a temporary defensive position, the Fund may deviate from its investment objectives and invest all or any portion of its assets in investment grade debt securities. In such a case, the Fund may not pursue or achieve its investment objective.
The information contained in this notice is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell Fund shares.

Toast vykázal ve 1. čtvrtletí tržby 1,6 mld. USD, meziročně o 22 %, a volný peněžní tok vzrostl o 67 % na 115 mil. USD. Společnost zároveň zvýšila výhled upravené EBITDA na 790–810 mil. USD.
Key Takeaways Toast posted $1.6B in revenues, up 22%, as locations and payment volume also rose 22%.Recurring gross profit growth is forecast at 21%-23% for 2026, below the first quarter's 27%.Toast raised adjusted EBITDA guidance to $790M-$810M as free cash flow increased 67%. Toast, Inc. (TOST - Free Report) presents a balanced investment case. The restaurant technology platform continues to expand revenues, locations and payment volume, while profitability and cash generation have improved.
The question is whether those positives are enough when growth is no longer accelerating and the stock offers only limited upside to the current price target. For now, TOST looks neither like a clear bargain nor a pure momentum trade.
TOST Growth Is Strong but No Longer AcceleratingToast reported first-quarter 2026 revenues of $1.6 billion, up 22% year over year. Subscription services revenues increased 28% to $268 million, while total locations rose 22% to about 171,000.
Gross payment volume also advanced 22% to $51.3 billion. The pace has become more normalized, with total revenue growth at 25% in parts of 2025, subscription services growth easing from the mid-30% range to the high-20% range and location growth moderating to the low-20% range.
Management’s full-year 2026 outlook reinforces that message. Toast expects recurring gross profit streams to grow 21% to 23%, below the 27% growth delivered in the first quarter.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Toast’s Valuation Leaves Limited Near-Term UpsideTOST recently traded at $32.34, compared with a 6- to 12-month price target of $34. That leaves only $1.66 of potential appreciation, suggesting that much of the improved profitability story may already be reflected in the stock.
The valuation is not stretched on a relative sales basis. Toast trades at 2.05X forward 12-month sales, below its five-year median of 2.69X and well under the 3.81X multiple for its Zacks sub-industry, 6.13X for the technology sector and 4.87X for the S&P 500.
That discount helps, but it does not automatically create a bargain. With growth normalizing, investors may need stronger proof of durable margin expansion or renewed estimate momentum before assigning TOST a higher multiple.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
TOST Profitability Supports the Bull CaseProfitability is the clearest support for a more constructive view. In first-quarter 2026, Toast generated net income of $126 million, operating income of $110 million and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $179 million.
Cash generation also improved. Operating cash flow was $132 million and free cash flow was $115 million, both up 67% year over year. Non-GAAP software-as-a-service gross margin exceeded 80% for the first time at 81%.
Management raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $790 million to $810 million. That gives the bull case substance, especially for investors focused on operating leverage rather than revenue growth alone.
Toast’s Execution Risks Keep the Setup BalancedBetter profitability does not remove the execution risk. Hardware and professional services remained loss-making in the first quarter, with $39 million in revenues against $111 million of costs.
Those losses reflect onboarding investments, new-market support and tariff pressure. Management also plans to reinvest top-line outperformance into growth initiatives and internal AI tools, which can limit near-term margin upside.
Competition adds another consideration. Shift4 Payments (FOUR - Free Report) also serves restaurants with payment processing and point-of-sale technology, while Lightspeed Commerce (LSPD - Free Report) offers restaurant point-of-sale and payments capabilities. Their presence reinforces that Toast must keep converting product breadth into profitable customer growth.
Slower location and subscription growth could also constrain valuation expansion. If growth settles into a lower range before new markets and AI products contribute meaningfully, the stock may struggle to sustain a higher sales multiple.
TOST Scores Point to a Selective ApproachThe bottom line is that TOST has a better earnings profile than it had in prior periods, but the setup still calls for selectivity. Profitability, cash flow and recurring gross profit growth are real strengths, while valuation upside and momentum remain less convincing.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). That aligns with a balanced risk-reward profile rather than a strongly bullish near-term call. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
TOST has a Growth Score of A, recognizing favorable projected earnings and sales expansion. Its Value Score of C is more neutral, while the Momentum Score of D points to weaker price and revision characteristics. The VGM Score of B offers some balance, but investors may want stronger upside, estimate revisions or price momentum before taking a more bullish stance.
Toast IQ má 40 000 týdně aktivních lokací a Toast rozšiřuje AI i do enterprise, hotelů, grocery a vybraných zahraničních trhů. Opakované roční tržby vzrostly o 26 % na 2,2 mld. USD a SaaS hrubá marže dosáhla 81 %.
Key Takeaways Toast IQ reached 40,000 weekly active locations, turning AI into a practical restaurant workflow tool.TOST expanded into enterprise, hotels, grocery, drive-thru and selected international markets.Toast's SaaS gross margin hit 81% as annualized recurring run rate rose 26% to $2.2 billion. Toast, Inc. (TOST - Free Report) is moving beyond its roots in restaurant payments and point-of-sale technology. Its platform now spans software, financial technology, hardware and connected operating workflows for restaurants and adjacent businesses.
AI adoption, new-market expansion and improving profitability are reshaping the growth story. The question is whether those gains can offset a more normalized pace of revenue, subscription and location growth.
Toast Turns AI Into a Restaurant Workflow LayerToast IQ is shifting AI from concept to daily restaurant use. In the first quarter of 2026, the product had 40,000 weekly active locations, with operators using it to identify revenue opportunities, save time and spot operating trends.
Toast IQ Grow adds a marketing use case. The agent builds campaigns from past performance data and sales forecasts, while future agents could extend into scheduling, payroll, inventory, food costs, bookkeeping and accounting.
TOST Expands Beyond Its Core Restaurant BaseToast is broadening its reach into drive-thru restaurants, enterprise accounts, hotels, grocery and selected international cities. Enterprise wins include Hungry Howie’s, Papa Murphy’s and The Alinea Group, while hotels add another channel through the Preferred Hotels & Resorts partnership.
The push also places Toast in a wider competitive set. Block, Inc. (XYZ - Free Report) offers Square for Restaurants, a cloud-based point-of-sale system for single- and multi-location restaurants. Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (LSPD - Free Report) also serves retail and hospitality customers through point-of-sale and commerce tools, making both companies relevant comparisons as Toast expands beyond independent restaurants.
Toast Converts Scale Into Stronger ProfitabilityScale is beginning to show in Toast’s economics. Locations rose from approximately 148,000 in the second quarter of 2025 to roughly 171,000 in the first quarter of 2026, while trailing 12-month gross payment volume increased to $204 billion from $176 billion.
Annualized recurring run rate reached $2.2 billion, up 26% year over year. Non-GAAP software-as-a-service gross margin reached 81% for the first time, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose to $179 million.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
TOST Still Faces Slower Growth and Cost PressureThe growth profile is still moderating. Total revenue growth was 22% in the first quarter of 2026, while subscription services growth eased from the mid-30% range to the high-20% range and location growth moved into the low-20% range.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Costs also remain visible. Hardware and professional services were loss-making, onboarding investments and tariffs weighed on profitability, and management plans to reinvest top-line outperformance into growth initiatives and internal AI tools. Early AI workflows may also need time to prove consistent returns across every restaurant function.
Toast’s Mixed Signals Frame the Long-Term ViewThe bottom line is that Toast has a wider platform story than it did when the business was viewed mainly through payments and point-of-sale adoption. AI tools, new customer categories and stronger software margins support the long-term case, but normalization and execution costs keep the near-term setup more balanced.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Its Growth Score of A and VGM Score of B point to favorable growth characteristics and a solid combined style profile. The Value Score of C and Momentum Score of D are less decisive, suggesting investors may want more evidence on valuation support, estimate momentum or share-price strength before taking a more aggressive stance.

All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, the ability of our partnerships with Anthropic and OpenAI to help drive new research, strengthen the security and capabilities of Tenable and help customers understand how frontier AI models behave, our ability to help transform threat investigations into precise remediation action, our business strategy, market opportunity and plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements and represent our views as of the date of this press release. The words “anticipate,” "believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of assumptions and risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control that could affect our financial results. These risks and uncertainties are detailed in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's website at sec.gov. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this press release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we are under no obligation to update these forward-looking statements subsequent to the date of this press release, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance the overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and are helpful to investors in comparing our financial results over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow: We define free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs, for investment in our business and to make acquisitions. We believe that free cash flow is useful as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate cash. We define unlevered free cash flow as free cash flow plus cash paid for interest and other financing costs. We believe unlevered free cash flow is useful as a liquidity measure as it measures the cash that is available to invest in our business and meet our current debt obligations and future financing needs. However, given our debt obligations, non-cancelable commitments and other contractual obligations, unlevered free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses.
Non-GAAP Income from Operations and Non-GAAP Operating Margin: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as their respective GAAP measures, excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, costs related to the intra-entity asset transfers resulting from the internal restructuring of legal entities, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Acquisition-related expenses include transaction and integration expenses, as well as costs related to the intercompany transfer of acquired intellectual property. Restructuring expenses include non-ordinary course severance, employee related benefits, and other charges to reorganize business operations. We believe that the exclusion of these expenses provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies, which commonly exclude restructuring expenses.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share: We define non-GAAP net income as GAAP net income (loss), excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, including the applicable tax impacts. In addition, we exclude the tax impact and related costs of intra-entity asset transfers resulting from the internal restructuring of legal entities as well as deferred income tax benefits recognized in connection with acquisitions. We use non-GAAP net income to calculate non-GAAP earnings per share.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin: We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit, excluding the effect of stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Non-GAAP Sales and Marketing Expense, Non-GAAP Research and Development Expense and Non-GAAP General and Administrative Expense: We define these non-GAAP measures as their respective GAAP measures, excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses and costs related to intra-entity asset transfers resulting from the internal restructuring of legal entities.

Should You Buy the Dip in Real Estate Stocks Now?CBRE Group NYSE: CBRE reported continued momentum in the second quarter of 2026, with Core EPS rising 30% and revenue increasing 16%, as both its resilient and transactional businesses posted double-digit growth.
Chair and CEO Bob Sulentic said each of the company’s operating segments—Advisory, Building Operations & Experience, Project Management, and Real Estate Investments—grew segment operating profit by more than 25%. He said the company’s investments were being directed toward businesses that support current performance and long-term growth.

3 Stocks to Watch as Home Prices Reach a New All-Time High“The momentum in CBRE’s business continued in the second quarter,” Sulentic said, pointing particularly to the company’s infrastructure and data center services operations.
Data Center and Infrastructure Services Expand Infrastructure Services generated nearly $1.2 billion of revenue during the quarter, an increase of more than 45% from a year earlier. Data Center Services revenue exceeded $700 million, rising nearly 30%, according to Sulentic. The reported figure reflects service revenue and excludes data center development land sales.
Bears covered shorts on this ETF, 3 stocks to pop on the shiftCBRE provides services including data center construction, maintenance and operational oversight. Sulentic said the company expects Data Center Services revenue to remain elevated at roughly 25% annual growth over the next five years and then grow at more than 15% as the data center construction cycle matures.
Looking further ahead, Sulentic said CBRE believes its Infrastructure business could reach $10 billion in revenue and more than $1 billion in EBITDA by 2030, with data centers representing a disproportionate share of that opportunity. He identified project and program management through Turner & Townsend, as well as Building Operations & Experience services, as the primary sources of growth.
More than half of CBRE’s data center revenue currently comes from downstream work, including managing, refitting and performing project work at operating data centers, Sulentic said.
Advisory, Operations and Project Management Results Chief Financial Officer Emma Giamartino said Advisory Services revenue rose 18%, exceeding the company’s expectations. Global leasing revenue increased 24%, supported by office and industrial activity, while global property sales revenue rose 20%.
U.S. leasing revenue increased 24%, including a 29% gain in office leasing and a 17% increase in industrial leasing. U.S. property sales revenue grew 24%, with double-digit increases across most major property types. Leasing revenue rose 27% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and 19% in Asia-Pacific. Mortgage origination revenue increased 8%, as private-capital volume partly offset lower agency lending activity. Giamartino said CBRE generated its highest U.S. office leasing revenue for a second quarter, driven by large transactions in gateway markets. Legal and financial-services tenants have been upgrading and expanding space, while industrial demand was supported by third-party logistics providers and advanced manufacturing companies.
Sulentic said leasing conditions have largely moved beyond the disruption caused by the pandemic. He said companies are increasingly focused on office space as a tool for productivity, employee engagement and training. He also cited strong activity from law firms, which he said are using artificial intelligence for certain functions while maintaining headcount needs in other areas.
In Building Operations & Experience, revenue growth was led by Critical Infrastructure Services, where revenue increased 68%. Data Center Solutions grew nearly 30%, aided by hyperscaler demand and contributions from Pearce Services, which CBRE acquired in November 2025. Local Facilities Management posted high-teens revenue growth across regions, including nearly 35% growth in the Americas.
Project Management revenue rose 19%, including 30% growth in infrastructure-related activity and 13% growth in real estate-related services. Giamartino said transportation and utility projects in the U.K., Europe and the Middle East supported infrastructure performance, while hyperscaler and technology clients were active across regions. Project Management segment operating profit increased 28%, though she said operating leverage is expected to moderate in the second half because of cost timing.
Investment Management, Development and Capital Allocation Within Real Estate Investments, development operating profit exceeded the prior-year level without the benefit of data center land sales. CBRE said it had approximately $900 million of embedded gains in its development portfolio.
Investment Management operating profit increased modestly, while assets under management ended the quarter at approximately $155 billion. The business raised $1.6 billion of new capital, compared with $1.3 billion in the first quarter, but Giamartino said the amount was below company expectations as some investors, particularly those in the Middle East, remained cautious amid global volatility.
Trailing 12-month free cash flow totaled nearly $1.7 billion. CBRE said it remains on track to achieve near the high end of its 75% to 85% full-year free-cash-flow conversion target.
Since the end of the first quarter, the company repurchased more than $450 million of stock, bringing year-to-date repurchases to nearly $1 billion. Giamartino said CBRE continues to prioritize mergers and acquisitions, with share repurchases serving as a use of excess cash flow when acquisition opportunities do not materialize. She added that there is no significant incremental capital allocation assumed in the company’s updated guidance and that buyback activity is expected to taper off.
Outlook Raised for 2026 CBRE raised its 2026 Core EPS outlook to $7.80 to $7.90, from a prior range of $7.60 to $7.80. At the midpoint, the revised forecast represents 23% growth. The company expects more than 20% Core EPS growth in the third quarter, while fourth-quarter performance is expected to be comparable with the prior year, when CBRE recorded significant profits from its data center land program.
Assuming no material changes in macroeconomic conditions or interest rates, CBRE said it remains confident it can deliver at least 15% Core EPS growth in 2027. Giamartino said the company expects low-double-digit segment operating profit growth in Building Operations & Experience and Project Management, while Advisory growth is expected to moderate from 2026 levels but remain above mid-cycle levels.
Sulentic said the company expects property sales and debt origination to remain relatively strong through the remainder of the year, though higher interest rates or greater volatility could affect activity. He said CBRE’s broader growth strategy does not depend on a strong capital-markets environment.

Albertsons snížil výhled na fiskální rok 2026 po slabší poptávce po potravinách a zklamání v 1. čtvrtletí. Nyní očekává pokles srovnatelných tržeb o 1,5 % až 0,5 % a upravený zisk na akcii 1,75 až 1,85 USD.
Key Takeaways Albertsons cut fiscal 2026 guidance after weaker grocery demand and a first-quarter earnings miss.ACI is rolling out ACI Edge to simplify operations and improve execution across the business.ACI continues investing in digital, stores and shareholder returns despite near-term pressure. Albertsons Companies, Inc. (ACI - Free Report) entered fiscal 2026 with two clear strengths: digital sales growth and pharmacy resilience. Those positives were not enough to offset softer core grocery trends.
The first-quarter earnings shortfall, reduced outlook and launch of ACI Edge now frame fiscal 2026 as a reset year. The company is trying to move faster, sharpen value and improve store-level execution while protecting cash returns.
Albertsons’ Q1 Results Reveal the Core PressureNet sales and other revenues increased 0.2% year over year to $24.94 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Identical sales declined 0.8%, showing that reported sales growth was not supported by broad-based demand strength.
Adjusted earnings fell to 42 cents per share from 55 cents a year earlier. Digital sales increased 13%, and pharmacy remained a source of growth, but softer industry unit trends and a more cautious consumer weighed on core grocery performance.
ACI Edge Reshapes Albertsons’ Operating ModelACI Edge reduces Albertsons’ structure from 11 divisions to four regions and centralizes center-store merchandising under one enterprise team. The goal is to simplify operations and improve accountability.
The new model is designed to speed decision-making, strengthen banner consistency and better align supplier relationships with enterprise scale. The Kroger Co. (KR - Free Report) remains a relevant food-retail benchmark, as investors also watch how pricing, pharmacy and private-label execution shape supermarket demand. Walmart Inc. (WMT - Free Report) adds another competitive reference point, especially on value, where grocers must protect traffic without giving up too much margin.
Albertsons Cuts Its Fiscal 2026 OutlookAlbertsons now expects identical sales to decline 1.5% to 0.5% in fiscal 2026 compared with its prior expectation of flat to 1% growth. Adjusted EBITDA is projected to be in the range of $3.550 billion to $3.625 billion.
Adjusted earnings are now expected to be $1.75 to $1.85 per share, down from the prior $2.22 to $2.32 range. The revision reflects a decision to accelerate customer-value investments before expected productivity benefits fully materialize.
ACI Balances Reinvestment With Shareholder ReturnsAlbertsons spent $522.1 million on capital expenditures in the first quarter. That included 15 remodels, four new stores and continued investment in digital and technology platforms.
Shareholder returns remain part of the plan. The board raised the quarterly dividend 13% to 17 cents per share, while Albertsons repurchased 13.4 million shares for $226.5 million and had a $2.0-billion remaining authorization.
ACI Trades Near the Bottom of Its Valuation RangeACI trades at 5.33X forward 12-month earnings, close to its one-year low of 5.08X and well below its one-year median of 8.35X. That gap is large enough to draw attention from investors focused on depressed consumer staples names.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The stock also trades at a deep discount to the Zacks sub-industry at 18.93X. Still, a low multiple does not automatically mean undervaluation. In ACI’s case, the market is also pricing in lower earnings visibility.
Albertsons’ Mixed Signals Favor Investor PatienceThe bottom line is that ACI’s reset carries both urgency and risk. Digital and pharmacy momentum show that the model still has productive assets, but weaker grocery units, lower guidance and investment pressure make fiscal 2026 harder to underwrite.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). It also has a Value Score of A, a Momentum Score of A and a VGM Score of A, alongside a Growth Score of C. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Those scores point to favorable valuation and market-characteristic signals, while the Growth Score reflects a more mixed earnings-growth profile. For now, ACI’s setup favors patience as investors wait for clearer evidence that ACI Edge can convert reinvestment into steadier sales and margin performance.
Albertsons ve 1. čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2026 zvýšil digitální tržby o 13 % a dál staví na AI, loajalitě a privátních značkách. Cílem je 30% podíl Own Brands na tržbách.
Key Takeaways Albertsons is expanding AI to improve merchandising, labor planning and supply-chain efficiency.ACI is using its 51.2 million-member loyalty program to strengthen personalization and retail media.ACI aims to grow Own Brands to 30% sales penetration to support value and higher-margin growth. Albertsons Companies, Inc. (ACI - Free Report) is trying to modernize a traditional grocery model without losing the local-store convenience that anchors its business.
The strategy rests on digital sales growth, loyalty data, artificial intelligence and Own Brands. Those levers can improve personalization and productivity, but they also bring fulfillment costs, technology spending and execution risk.
ACI’s Digital Sales Growth Changes the Revenue MixAlbertsons’ first-quarter fiscal 2026 digital sales increased 13%, extending the role of e-commerce in its grocery model. The company’s delivery and Drive Up & Go curbside pickup services are built around store-based fulfillment, allowing stores to support online orders rather than relying only on separate warehouses.
That convenience can deepen customer engagement and support more frequent trips across grocery, pharmacy and digital channels. The offset is margin pressure. Gross margin declined in the quarter, with higher delivery and handling costs tied to digital sales growth among the primary factors.
Albertsons Uses AI to Fund Customer InvestmentAlbertsons is advancing technology across digital experience, merchandising intelligence, labor optimization and supply-chain efficiency. These tools are intended to improve shopping journeys, promotional planning, workforce scheduling, forecasting and replenishment.
The effort ties directly into a three-year, $2 billion productivity program. Albertsons expects savings to help fund pricing, fresh execution, personalization, digital convenience and store standards, rather than simply flowing through as short-term cost cuts.
ACI Turns Loyalty Data Into Personalized GrowthAlbertsons’ loyalty ecosystem gives the company a larger base for targeted promotions and customer insights. At the end of fiscal 2025, the loyalty program had 51.2 million members and supported personalized offers across digital and in-store channels.
That data also supports Albertsons Media Collective, its retail-media business. Better personalization can improve offer relevance, lift marketing efficiency and connect grocery, pharmacy and digital shopping into a more integrated customer relationship.
The Kroger Co. (KR - Free Report) and Walmart Inc. (WMT - Free Report) provide useful peer context because grocery retailers are increasingly competing on value, omnichannel convenience and retail-media monetization. Their presence raises the bar for Albertsons to turn data scale into measurable traffic and margin benefits.
Albertsons Expands Own Brands as Consumers Seek ValueOwn Brands remain another lever in Albertsons’ value strategy. The portfolio spans value, mainstream, premium and better-for-you products, including brands such as Signature Select, Lucerne and O Organics.
Management is targeting Own Brands sales penetration of 30% over time. Higher private-label adoption can improve differentiation, reinforce loyalty and support higher-margin growth, while helping cautious consumers manage grocery budgets.
ACI Stock Sell-Off Widens the Performance GapAlbertsons stock plunged 32.6% in the year-to-date period, sharply underperforming the Zacks sub-industry's growth of 3.3%. The Zacks Consumer Staples sector is up 10.1%, and the S&P 500 is up 8.1% over the same period.

ACI’s Scores Reflect Promise With Uneven GrowthThe bottom line is that Albertsons has a credible technology and value agenda, but investors still need proof that digital scale and productivity savings can translate into stronger earnings growth. The latest outlook reflects pressure from weaker industry unit trends, a cautious consumer and the need for accelerated customer investment.
ACI currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It also has a VGM Score of A, Value Score of A, Momentum Score of A and Growth Score of C. The A-rated value and momentum indicators are supportive, while the C Growth Score points to a less even growth profile.
For investors, that mix fits the current setup. Albertsons has tools to improve engagement and efficiency, but the Hold rank suggests a more balanced near-term view as the market waits for clearer evidence of earnings acceleration.

Key Factors Expected to Have Shaped Eaton’s Q2 EarningsEaton’s consistent investment in research and development has been helping enhance its existing product portfolio while facilitating the introduction of innovative solutions tailored to customer needs. This focus on innovation has been enabling the company to secure new orders, expand its market presence and support earnings growth. For the second quarter, Eaton expects organic revenue growth of 9-11%.
Eaton’s second-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from the acquisition of Ultra PCS, which is expected to add $60 million to its Aerospace segment’s total revenues. Boyd Thermal acquisition is expected to add $360 million to the Electric Global segment.
Eaton’s diversified product portfolio has also been helping it win new orders and steadily build the backlog. The expanding backlog provides strong revenue visibility, while the growing pipeline of future business continues to support the company’s growth prospects and boosted second-quarter earnings.
Eaton’s second-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from robust demand across its Data Centers, Utilities, Commercial & Institutional and Commercial Aerospace end markets.
Eaton Stock Trading at a PremiumEaton’s stock is currently overvalued compared with its industry on a forward 12-month P/E multiple basis (P/E F12M), as shown in the chart below. ETN is currently trading at 26.27X compared with its industry average of 23.7X.

Eaton’s Price PerformanceEaton has gained 9% in the past six months, outperforming the industry’s rally of 7.1%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Investment ThesisEaton continues to benefit from robust demand across its diverse business segments. The strong focus on innovation, supported by sustained investments in research and development, has enabled the company to continually enhance the quality and performance of its products. Courtesy of strong demand and proper cost management, Eaton expects its segment operating margin in the range of 22.6-23% in the second quarter.
Effective power management is essential to the success of a broad range of projects, and Eaton has established itself as a reliable provider of these solutions. The company’s ability to meet urgent and complex customer needs further enhances its competitive position in the market.
With operations spanning nearly 180 countries and a globally distributed manufacturing base, Eaton enjoys a well-diversified revenue stream. However, this broad international presence also exposes the company to geopolitical uncertainties, which could lead to potential order disruptions and operational challenges.
Summing UpEaton’s rising earnings estimates, coupled with the expanding backlog, are expected to further support its overall performance. Steady demand, improving end-market conditions and a growing backlog point to a healthy pipeline of new orders.
The stock remains an attractive investment, supported by a strengthening earnings outlook and solid contributions from both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
Despite Eaton's premium valuation, existing shareholders may consider retaining their positions, while prospective investors may find this high-quality stock an attractive addition ahead of its upcoming earnings release.

Equinix connects economies, countries, organizations and communities, delivering seamless digital experiences and cutting-edge AI—quickly, efficiently and everywhere.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Equinix provides all information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but it believes that evaluating its ongoing results of operations may be difficult if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Equinix also uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operations.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, but should be considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As such, Equinix provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Investors should note that the non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those of other companies. Investors should therefore exercise caution when comparing non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.
Equinix's primary non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") as described below. Equinix presents these measures to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate its results in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be its core, ongoing business operations. These measures exclude items which Equinix believes are generally not relevant to assessing its long-term performance. Both measures eliminate the impacts of depreciation and amortization, which are derived from historical costs and which Equinix believes are not indicative of current or future expenditures, and other items for which the frequency and amount of charges can vary based on the timing and significance of individual transactions. Equinix believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports and that if it did not provide such non-GAAP financial information, investors would not have all the necessary data to analyze the company effectively.
Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the operating strength and performance of its core, ongoing business, without regard to its capital or tax structures. It also aids in assessing the performance of, making operating decisions for, and allocating resources to its operating segments. In addition to the uses described above, Equinix believes this measure provides investors with a better understanding of the operating performance of the business and its ability to perform in subsequent periods.
Equinix defines adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding:
income tax expense interest income interest expense other income or expense gain or loss on debt extinguishment depreciation, amortization and accretion expense stock-based compensation expense restructuring and other exit charges, which primarily include employee severance, facility closure costs, lease or other contract termination costs and advisory fees related to the realignment of our management structure, operations or products and other exit activities impairment charges transaction costs gain or loss on asset sales AFFO is derived from Funds from Operations ("FFO") calculated in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. Both FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures commonly used in the REIT industry. Although these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies, Equinix believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with an additional tool for comparing its performance with the performance of other companies in the REIT industry. Additionally, AFFO is a performance measure used in certain of the company's employee incentive programs, and Equinix believes it is a useful measure in assessing its dividend-paying capacity, as it isolates the cash impact of certain income and expense items and considers the impact of recurring capital expenditures.
Equinix defines FFO as net income attributable to common stockholders excluding:
gain or loss from the disposition of real estate assets depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets adjustments related to unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests Equinix defines AFFO as FFO adjusted for:
depreciation and amortization expense on non-real estate assets accretion expense stock-based compensation expense stock-based charitable contributions restructuring and other exit charges, as described above impairment charges transaction costs impacts of straight-lining installation revenue impacts of straight-lining rent expense impacts of straight-lining contract costs amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and premiums gain or loss from the disposition of non-real estate assets gain or loss on debt extinguishment an income tax expense adjustment, which represents the non-cash tax impact due to changes in valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions and deferred taxes recurring capital expenditures, which represent expenditures to extend the useful life of data centers or other assets that are required to support current revenues net income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax adjustments from FFO to AFFO related to unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests Equinix provides normalized and constant currency growth rates for revenues, adjusted EBITDA, AFFO and AFFO per share. These growth rates assume foreign currency rates remain consistent across comparative periods. Revenue growth rates exclude the impact of net power pass-through, acquisitions, divestitures and the Equinix Metal® wind-down. Adjusted EBITDA growth rates exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and integration costs. AFFO growth rates exclude the impact of acquisitions and related financing costs, divestitures, integration costs and balance sheet remeasurements. AFFO per share growth rates exclude the impact of integration costs and balance sheet remeasurements.
Equinix presents cash cost of revenues and cash operating expenses (also known as cash selling, general and administrative expenses or cash SG&A). These measures exclude depreciation, amortization, accretion and stock-based compensation, which are not good indicators of Equinix's current or future operating performance, as described above.
Equinix also presents free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus net cash provided by (used in) investing activities excluding the net purchases of and distributions from equity investments. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding any real estate and business acquisitions, net of cash and restricted cash acquired. These measures are presented in order for lenders, investors and the industry analysts who review and report on Equinix to better evaluate Equinix's cash spending levels relative to its industry sector and competitors.

Strategic Education ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby o 3 % na 330 milionů USD a provozní zisk o 9 % na 53 milionů USD. Adjusted EPS vzrostl o 16 % na 1,76 USD.
3 Education Stocks to Enroll in This SummerStrategic Education NASDAQ: STRA reported second-quarter results marked by growth in its Education Technology Services business, improved profitability in U.S. higher education and continued efforts to return its Australia and New Zealand operations to growth, executives said during the company’s earnings call.
President and Chief Executive Officer Karl McDonnell said second-quarter revenue increased approximately 3% from the prior year to $330 million on a constant-currency basis. Operating expenses rose about 1.5%, including a $13 million one-time charge tied to a labor matter in Australia. Excluding that charge, operating expenses would have declined 3% year over year to $265 million, according to McDonnell.

3 Education Stocks To Stuff Your Stocking WithOperating income was $53 million, up 9% from the prior-year period, while operating margin improved 90 basis points to 16%. Excluding the Australia-related charge, operating income would have increased 35% and operating margin would have been 20%, McDonnell said. Adjusted earnings per share rose 16% to $1.76, while year-to-date cash flow from operations increased 18% to $117 million.
Education Technology Services Growth The company’s Education Technology Services, or ETS, division reported revenue growth of 15% to $42 million and a 30% increase in operating income to $20 million. The segment’s operating margin expanded 520 basis points to 46.2%.
Sophia Learning’s average subscriber base grew 32%, while revenue increased 27% to $21 million. McDonnell said the business is continuing to grow strongly despite reaching a larger revenue base.
During the question-and-answer session, McDonnell addressed concerns about the use of artificial intelligence in online coursework. He said Strategic Education takes academic integrity and assessment quality seriously across its portfolio and that Sophia’s management team had already been developing enhancements to its academic-integrity controls before recent media coverage on the subject.
“That’s something that we will continue to focus on,” McDonnell said, adding that academic-integrity enhancements would remain an investment priority for Sophia through the balance of 2026 and into 2027.
Workforce Edge ended the quarter with 81 corporate agreements covering 4 million employees. Enrollments from Workforce Edge into Strayer University or Capella University increased 21% to roughly 4,000 students. McDonnell said ETS now accounts for nearly 40% of Strategic Education’s consolidated income from operations.
U.S. Higher Education Margin Improvement In U.S. higher education, employer-affiliated enrollment rose 8% and reached an all-time high of 35% of total enrollment, an increase of nearly 300 basis points from the previous year. Healthcare enrollment increased 11% and represented 52% of U.S. higher education enrollment.
Capella University launched a pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing program during the second quarter, enrolling its first cohort in July, McDonnell said.
U.S. higher education revenue increased 2%, supported by higher revenue per student as well as lower scholarships and discounts. Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Daniel Jackson said revenue per student also benefited from students taking more classes, though he noted that both course load and scholarship levels can vary by quarter. For the full year, the company continues to expect approximately flat revenue per student.
Operating expenses in the segment declined 3%, which management attributed to productivity initiatives. Operating income rose 56% to $32 million, and the segment’s operating margin increased to 15% from 10% in the prior-year quarter. Student retention reached an all-time high of 89%.
McDonnell said the company’s overall demand environment was “stable to pretty good,” with student acquisition rates flat to down. He said Strategic Education has not identified large language model searches as a material issue affecting student inquiries, though its marketing teams are working to ensure Strayer and Capella are favorably represented in such searches.
The company’s marketing emphasis remains focused on employer partnerships and healthcare. McDonnell said unaffiliated enrollment on the Strayer side has not been a marketing priority, while non-healthcare enrollment growth is not currently a central part of the company’s marketing strategy.
Australia Labor Matter and Enrollment Trends In Australia and New Zealand, total enrollment declined 5% and revenue fell just under 3% to $67 million. The segment reported operating income of $1 million after the $13 million reserve related to an ongoing labor matter involving casual faculty at Torrens University Australia.
The matter concerns whether grading time should be included within casual faculty teaching contracts or paid separately. McDonnell said an Australian court initially ruled in the company’s favor, but an appeals court later determined that grading time should be separately compensated. Strategic Education has appealed to the High Court of Australia and established the reserve in the event the appeal is not heard or the appellate ruling is upheld.
McDonnell said the company has already modified its instructional model and does not expect the change to increase instructional expense. Management expects to learn whether the High Court will take the case in September or early October.
Domestic new-student growth in Australia has approached double digits, McDonnell said, but has not yet offset international enrollment declines. He cited challenges in the onshore transfer market and slower Australian visa processing, even in markets the government considers to have a high concentration of genuine students.
The company reached its enrollment cap in Australia last year, and the cap was subsequently raised by about 3%, McDonnell said. He added that Strategic Education could benefit if visa approvals accelerate during the second half, as they did last year. Management expects the Australia business to return to growth in the first part of 2027 if domestic enrollment momentum continues.
Capital Allocation and Outlook Strategic Education repurchased approximately 421,000 shares for $33 million during the quarter in addition to paying its regular quarterly dividend. The company had about $141 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization through year-end.
McDonnell said the company may fall somewhat below its longer-term notional revenue-growth model for 2026, primarily because of Australia. However, he said he was “more than confident” that the company would exceed the model’s target of 200 basis points of EBIT margin expansion, potentially even including the Australia labor charge.
Looking further ahead, McDonnell said he expects revenue growth to revert toward the company’s approximately 5% long-term model over the period between the second half of 2026 and the following year.

Key Takeaways ARES' Q2'26 EPS is estimated to be $1.29, suggesting a 25.2% year-over-year increase.Revenues are projected to rise 25.6% y/y, supported by higher AUM and management fees.Ares' AUM is expected to reach $669.9 billion, aided by inflows and favorable market performance. Ares Management (ARES - Free Report) is scheduled to announce second-quarter 2026 results on July 31, before the opening bell. Its quarterly revenues and earnings are likely to have increased on a year-over-year basis.
In the last reported quarter, results were primarily affected by higher expenses. Nevertheless, the higher assets under management (AUM) provided some support to the results.
ARES earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in one of the trailing four quarters and missed thrice, delivering an average miss of 6%.
Ares Management Corporation Price and EPS SurpriseARES’s Q2 Earnings & Sales EstimatesThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for Ares Management’s quarterly earnings has been revised nearly 1% lower over the past seven days to $1.29 per share. The estimate indicates a 25.2% increase from the reported figure in the prior-year quarter.
The consensus estimate for quarterly sales is pegged at $1.32 billion, suggesting a 25.6% year-over-year increase.
Key Factors & Estimates for Ares Management in Q2ARES has been witnessing consistent improvement over the years, supported by its diversified alternative investment platform. Despite a persistent backlog of private equity exits, deal activity improved in the second quarter of 2026. Further, continued fundraising momentum, along with strong investor demand across private credit and other alternative strategies, is likely to have supported AUM growth in the to-be-reported quarter. Overall expansion is expected to have remained steady, driven by the company’s scalable platform, rising perpetual capital base and expanding global distribution network. Backed by decent inflows and favorable market performance, Ares Management is expected to have witnessed a rise in its AUM balance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total AUM of $669.9 billion indicates growth of 3.9% from the prior quarter’s actual. The consensus estimate for total fee-earning AUM of $417.1 billion suggests a sequential rise of 4.4%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total management fees (segment revenues) is pegged at $1.1 billion, which indicates 5.9% growth from the prior quarter’s actual. The consensus estimate for fee-related performance revenues (segment revenues) of $22.9 million suggests a 17.1% sequential rise. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Other fees (segment revenues) is pegged at $71.8 million, which indicates a decrease from the $73.9 million reported in the prior quarter.
ARES’ expenses have been increasing over the past few years, primarily driven by higher compensation and benefits, along with continued investments in fundraising and platform expansion. The expenses are also expected to have remained elevated in the second quarter due to the acquisition and integration-related costs associated with the recently acquired GCP International and BlueCove. Going forward, continued investments in scaling the global platform, integrating acquired businesses and pursuing growth initiatives may pressure near-term profitability.
What Our Model Predicts for Ares ManagementOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for ARES this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.

Performance of Other Asset ManagersAmeriprise Financial’s (AMP - Free Report) second-quarter 2026 adjusted operating earnings were $11.07 per share, which handily surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.72. The bottom line reflected a rise of 22% from the year-ago quarter.
AMP’s results benefited from higher revenues and an improvement in assets under management and assets under administration balances to record levels. However, an increase in expenses was a headwind.
SEI Investments Co.’s (SEIC - Free Report) second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $1.66 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.45. The bottom line reflected a rise of 38.3% from the prior-year quarter.
Results were aided by higher revenues and a rise in AUM. However, higher expenses acted as a spoilsport for SEIC.

Key Takeaways CBOE's Q2 revenues are estimated to rise 20.6% year over year to $708.5 million.Stronger options volumes, transaction fees and proprietary products likely supported results.Data fees, connectivity demand and continued share repurchases are expected to aid earnings. Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (CBOE - Free Report) is expected to witness an improvement in its top and bottom lines when it reports second-quarter 2026 results on July 31, before market open.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CBOE’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $708.5 million, indicating a 20.6% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $3.45 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CBOE’s second-quarter earnings has moved 5.8% north in the past 30 days. The estimate suggests a year-over-year decrease of 40.2%.

CBOE’s Solid Earnings Surprise HistoryCBOE’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.35%.
What the Zacks Model Unveils for Cboe GlobalOur proven model predicts an earnings beat for CBOE this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. That is the case here, as you can see below.
You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: CBOE has an Earnings ESP of +0.77%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate of $3.48 is pegged higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.45.
Zacks Rank: CBOE currently has a Zacks Rank #2. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Factors Likely to Shape CBOE’s Q2 ResultsSolid growth in index options, along with higher transaction and clearing fees, access and capacity charges, market data revenues and regulatory fees, is likely to support Cboe Global Markets’ second-quarter results.
Derivatives Markets revenues are expected to have benefited from increased transaction and clearing fees, driven by stronger trading volumes across Cboe’s options exchanges. Its performance is likely to have received additional support from robust activity in proprietary products, including VIX futures and VIX and SPX options, as well as healthy growth in multi-listed options trading. However, lower regulatory fees may have partially offset these gains.
Cboe Data Vantage revenues are likely to have improved on higher access and capacity fees and proprietary market data revenues. Increased customer demand for logical and physical ports across the Options, North American Equities, and Europe and Asia Pacific segments is likely to have boosted connectivity-related revenues. Market data fees are also expected to have benefited from solid demand across these businesses.
Net transaction and clearing fees are likely to have gained from higher Cboe European Equities matched average daily notional value, Global FX average daily notional value and Cboe Clear Europe net settlement volumes.
Continued share repurchases are also expected to have supported second-quarter earnings per share.
CBOE’s Price Performance & ValuationThe stock has outperformed the industry, but underperformed its sector and the S&P 500 in the second quarter of 2026.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The stock is trading at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings value of 21.27X, higher than the industry average of 20.54. CBOE is cheap compared to Nasdaq (NDAQ - Free Report) but expensive compared to Intercontinental Exchange (ICE - Free Report) .

Investment ThesisCboe Global Markets holds a dominant position in the U.S. listed options market through its ownership of multiple options exchanges, consistently maintaining the industry's leading market share.
The company has also built a diversified business through acquisitions and international expansion. Cboe Global is further strengthening its long-term growth profile through strategic acquisitions and investments that expand its global footprint, product portfolio and capital markets infrastructure. The company is also investing in digital assets, carbon markets and next-generation trading technologies while introducing innovative derivatives products to meet evolving client demand.
At the same time, management is optimizing its portfolio and cost structure. The company has agreed to divest its Canada and Australia exchanges and expects these actions to reduce adjusted operating expenses in 2026, improving overall efficiency.
The company's disciplined capital allocation supports strategic investments while maintaining a strong balance sheet and robust free cash flow generation.
How to Play CBOE StockA diversified business mix with recurring revenues, accelerated growth banking on recurring non-transaction revenues, use of technology and prudent buyouts poise CBOE well for growth. Its VGM Score of A instills confidence.
Given affordable valuation, solid growth projections and optimistic analyst sentiment, it’s time to add this stock to one’s portfolio.

What Guidance Would Actually Move the Stock Tonight, investors are going to be watching the company’s full-year framing. Wall Street’s Q1 FY27 consensus sits at $1.27 billion in revenue and $0.36 EPS, just above management’s own guide of $1.26 billion ± $50 million and $0.40 ± $0.04.
Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM | ARM Price Prediction) typically guides conservatively in ranges and has beaten revenue while occasionally missing EPS as R&D climbed 43% YoY to $1,911 million.
Investors want commentary on royalty growth (Jason Child flagged “roughly 20-ish percent for the year”), AGI CPU customer commitments above $2 billion, and operating margin after compression from 52.8% to 49.1%.
Bullish: a raised FY27 outlook and expanded hyperscaler wins.
Bearish: soft Q2 guide, deeper margin compression, or another RPO decline beyond 7%.

With Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) down 26.78% over the past month and Polymarket pricing a 94.6% beat probability, here are some of the top questions analysts might have for management.
Top 5 Analyst Questions Why does Q1 guidance imply a sequential drop to $1.26 billion from Q4’s $1.49B? Update on $2 billion AGI CPU demand and the Meta co-development roadmap? Royalty rate trajectory as Armv9 and CSS ramp? When does R&D (+43% YoY) stop compressing operating margin? Qualcomm/Nuvia trial exposure and China revenue visibility?

Arm Holdings reports fiscal Q1 2027 results tonight following a sharp selloff in the past month. Management guided revenue to approximately $1.26 billion and non-GAAP EPS to $0.40, while Polymarket traders assign a 93.9% probability of an earnings beat.
The real test is whether royalty growth and hyperscaler design wins can support the stock. Arm’s valuation rests on the belief that AGI CPUs, Neoverse, and Armv9 can transform its licensing model into a dominant data center compute franchise.
A clean beat with stronger FY 2027 commentary would reinforce the AI thesis and suggest the recent drawdown went too far. Any softness in royalty rates, margins, or hyperscaler momentum would hand the narrative to skeptics calling for a much deeper rerating.
Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Arm didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) reports fiscal Q1 2027 results after the market closes today at 4:05 PM ET. Shares currently trade around $233, testing investor conviction in the AI data center thesis CEO Rene Haas has built.
Momentum Meets a Rerating Arm closed FY26 strong. Q4 revenue hit $1.49B, up 20.06% YoY, and non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.60, beating the $0.5793 consensus. License revenue jumped 29% to $819M while royalties rose 11% to $671M, with data center royalty more than doubling. Full-year free cash flow skyrocketed 395.51% to $882M.
Since then, sentiment has cooled. Shares have dropped 15.53% over the past week and 30.23% over the past month, though ARM remains up 123.9% year to date. Non-GAAP operating margin compressed from 52.8% to 49.1% as R&D climbed 43% YoY to $1.911B, a tension I’ll be watching tonight.
Consensus Estimates Metric Q1 FY27 Consensus YoY Change Management Guide Revenue $1.265B +20% $1.26B ± $50M EPS (Non-GAAP) $0.4019 +15% $0.40 ± $0.04 Consensus sits right on management’s midpoint, meaning any surprise flows from mix, not the top line. Sell-side estimates are pretty much right in line with management’s guidance. That leaves royalty rate expansion and operating leverage as the swing factors on the bottom line.
Data Center Traction and Margin Discipline in Focus I will be watching four items tonight.
First, Arm AGI CPU traction. Management disclosed over $2B in customer demand across FY27-FY28, with Meta as lead co-developer. Any expansion of that pipeline reshapes the data center narrative.
Second, royalty mix. Data center royalty more than doubled last quarter. I will focus on whether Armv9 adoption and Neoverse deployments keep lifting the effective royalty rate, and how SAP’s Graviton migration and Cloudflare’s global rollout convert to units.
Third, operating margin. Analysts will be looking at whether Haas commits to margin recovery in FY27 or defends continued investment in the $100B+ 2030 data center opportunity.
Fourth, guidance credibility. Three consecutive EPS misses in Q1 through Q3 FY26 preceded the Q4 beat. I will be watching how management frames the FY27 outlook, ACV (last at $1,660M, up 22% YoY), and the $15B silicon forecast. Overhangs include the Qualcomm trial in Q4 calendar 2026 and the 25% U.S. semiconductor tariff.

UBS čeká, že Under Armour za 1Q vykáže výsledky v souladu s odhady a potvrdí celoroční upravený EPS $0,08 až $0,12. Banka nevidí report jako významný katalyzátor pro akcie.
Under Armour Inc (NYSE:UA)'s upcoming first quarter fiscal 2027 earnings report is unlikely to be a significant catalyst for the stock, according to UBS analysts, who expect the results to largely meet market expectations while maintaining its positive long-term view on the company.
The firm expects Under Armour to report in-line Q1 earnings and reiterate its fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings per share guidance of $0.08 to $0.12.
UBS also expects the company to issue Q2 EPS guidance in the range of $0.03 to $0.05.
UBS wrote that while investor sentiment toward the stock remains bearish, recent share price gains and investor expectations suggest an in-line report is already largely reflected in the stock price.
"We doubt the 1Q report is a catalyst for shares," UBS wrote, adding that it does not expect the earnings release to drive meaningful changes to Wall Street earnings estimates or the company's valuation multiple.
The firm noted that options markets are pricing in a move of about 10.7% following the results, matching the stock's historical average earnings-day move, though UBS expects less volatility than that.
Despite Under Armour shares outperforming the broader market over the past three months, UBS believes investor sentiment remains negative. The firm pointed to below-average positioning data from its quantitative team, elevated short interest of about 29%, and discussions with investors that indicated limited confidence in the company's near-term revenue growth prospects.
UBS wrote that investors are broadly expecting three outcomes from the earnings report: in-line Q1 EPS, unchanged full-year guidance, and Q2 EPS guidance between $0.03 and $0.05.
The firm's channel checks and proprietary data suggest first-quarter performance should meet expectations. UBS Evidence Lab found US website traffic increased 23% year over year during the quarter, compared with 3% growth in the previous quarter, while traffic across key Asia-Pacific markets rose 11%.
Additional data cited by UBS showed solid Google search trends, strong gross merchandise value growth in China's online market, and lower promotional activity during the quarter, with average discounting declining by about 250 basis points from a year earlier.
UBS maintained its Buy rating and $10 price target on the stock, implying upside from current levels of about $7.
The brokerage said its price target is based on approximately 14 times its fiscal 2029 earnings estimate of $0.70 per share and is supported by both peer valuation comparisons and discounted cash flow analysis.
While UBS expects a balanced risk-reward profile heading into the quarterly report, it remains constructive on the company's longer-term outlook, citing expectations for improving fundamentals and its product innovation pipeline, including the recently launched Bouncy Tee.

Greetings, and welcome to the Clean Harbors Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.
It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Tim Rodenberger, General Counsel for Clean Harbors. Mr. Rodenberger, you may begin.

With me on today's call are our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Eric Gerstenberg and Mike Battles; our EVP and Chief Financial Officer, Eric Dugas; and our SVP of Investor Relations, Jim Buckley.

Sezzle zvýšila výhled tržeb na rok 2026 na 30 % až 35 % a výhled upraveného EPS na 5,10 USD po silném čtvrtletí. Tržby vzrostly o 29,2 % na 135,5 milionu USD.
Key Takeaways Sezzle posted 29.2% revenue growth, 37.3% GMV growth and a 52.5% adjusted EBITDA margin.SEZL raised 2026 revenue-growth guidance to 30%-35% and adjusted EPS guidance to $5.10.Premium valuation, lower revenue yield and Pay-in-5 funding needs leave little room for execution misses. Sezzle Inc. (SEZL - Free Report) has moved deeper into investor focus after rapid revenue growth, expanding profitability and a higher full-year 2026 outlook. The stock’s appeal now depends on whether operating momentum can keep pace with its valuation.
The central question is not whether the latest quarter was strong. It was. The harder question is whether Sezzle can sustain growth while managing yield normalization, funding needs and product execution risk.
SEZL Posts Strong Growth and ProfitabilityFirst-quarter 2026 revenues rose 29.2% year over year to $135.5 million. Gross merchandise volume, the value of transactions processed on the platform, increased 37.3% to $1.1 billion.
Profitability scaled with revenues. Adjusted EBITDA was $71.1 million, equal to a 52.5% margin, while adjusted earnings per share were $1.43. Those figures show that higher consumer engagement and expense discipline translated into meaningful operating leverage.
The platform also benefited from greater purchase frequency, rising subscribers and broader use of virtual card and open-loop capabilities. Affirm Holdings (AFRM - Free Report) offers another public-market reference point for installment payment investors, as it is also built around paying over time at the point of sale.
Sezzle's Valuation Demands ExecutionSEZL trades at 7.79X forward 12-month sales per share. That is above 5.34X for the Zacks sub-industry, 3.20X for the Zacks sector and 4.87X for the S&P 500.
The valuation leaves less room for operational slippage. The $181 price target reflects 8.98X sales per share, which means investors are already being asked to underwrite continued growth, rising engagement and successful product expansion.

Block Inc. (XYZ - Free Report) , through Afterpay, is another relevant comparison in digital payments and buy now, pay later. Its presence reinforces that Sezzle is operating in a competitive payments market where product breadth and consumer retention matter.
SEZL Gains From Raised EstimatesManagement raised full-year 2026 revenue-growth guidance to 30% to 35%, up from the prior range of 25% to 30%. Adjusted net income guidance increased to $180 million, and adjusted earnings per share guidance rose to $5.10 from $4.70.
Funding costs could become another lever. Sezzle expects net interest expense to improve as it moves forward with refinancing its current credit facility, which matures next April.
Share repurchases may also help per-share earnings. The company repurchased $24.8 million of common stock in the first quarter, and management noted some benefit from repurchases in its updated earnings-per-share outlook.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Sezzle Still Faces Yield and Funding RisksThe bullish case is not without offsets. First-quarter revenue yield declined roughly 80 basis points year over year because of mix shifts in merchant and virtual-card activity and fewer consumer fees.
Management also cautioned against annualizing first-quarter margins. The first quarter is typically helped by tax refunds and stronger credit performance, while later quarters may face more normal provisions and a smoother yield profile.
Pay-in-5 adds another watch item. The product increased working capital in the first quarter, and broader adoption could lengthen the cash conversion cycle while making funding terms more important.
Regulatory and product timing also matter. Sezzle plans to submit a banking charter application in mid-2026, but the process is long and not guaranteed. Products now in development are excluded from 2026 guidance, so delays could push upside further out.
SEZL’s Scorecard Points to Selective OptimismThe bottom line is that SEZL looks attractive for investors willing to pay for growth, but the setup is execution-heavy. Revenue growth, product adoption, funding efficiency and credit discipline all need to remain aligned for the premium valuation to hold.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Its Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of A and VGM Score of A support a favorable near-term and growth-oriented view, especially when considered alongside a top Zacks Rank. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
The Value Score of D is the counterweight. It signals that SEZL is not a low-entry-valuation story. The stock’s attractiveness depends more on sustained execution than on valuation support alone.
Sezzle v 1. čtvrtletí 2026 zvýšila průměrnou četnost nákupů na 7,1 z 6,1 a počet předplatitelů vzrostl o 44 000 na 714 000. Firma tak posiluje širší finanční platformu mimo samotné checkout platby.
Key Takeaways Sezzle's quarterly purchase frequency rose to 7.1 from 6.1, signaling more habitual platform use.SEZL subscribers increased by 44,000 sequentially to 714,000, supporting higher-value engagement.Sezzle targets credit-loss provisions of 2.5%-3% of GMV as Pay-in-5 raises working-capital needs. Sezzle Inc. (SEZL - Free Report) is moving beyond its checkout roots. The company is building a wider consumer finance platform designed to keep users engaged more often and across more spending occasions.
That shift matters because a broader product set could raise purchase frequency, deepen wallet share and reduce reliance on new merchant integrations. The opportunity is promising, but execution and credit control remain central to the story.
Sezzle Expands Beyond CheckoutSezzle’s core model lets consumers make a down payment and repay purchases through scheduled installments, while the company earns revenues from merchant and partner income, consumer fees and subscriptions. That checkout foundation remains important to its merchant network and user acquisition funnel.
The growth agenda now extends into open-loop and virtual cards, enhanced longer-term lending, Sezzle Mobile and rewards-led engagement. Affirm Holdings (AFRM - Free Report) offers a useful industry comparison because it also competes in point-of-sale installment financing, while PayPal Holdings (PYPL - Free Report) shows how large payment platforms can embed buy-now-pay-later options into broader checkout ecosystems.
SEZL Builds a Higher-Frequency ModelSezzle’s first-quarter 2026 metrics show a platform becoming more habitual. Average quarterly purchase frequency rose to 7.1 times from 6.1 times a year earlier, a full additional purchase across the consumer base.
Subscribers increased by 44,000 sequentially to 714,000. That supports a strategy centered on higher-lifetime-value customers and more activity from existing users, rather than relying only on acquiring new shoppers or signing new merchants.
Sezzle Adds Products Not in GuidanceManagement’s product roadmap includes cash-flow management tools, checking and deposit accounts, broader card acceptance and other services that can move Sezzle closer to an everyday money platform. These offerings could create more reasons for users to return between checkout moments.
Full-year 2026 guidance does not include projections for products still in development. That leaves room for incremental upside if launches gain traction, although product adoption and timing still need to prove out through the rest of 2026 and into 2027.

SEZL Balances Growth With Credit DisciplinePay-in-5 is an important part of the engagement push because it adds another short-term installment option and can fit consumer demand for more flexibility. Management has described it as a meaningful driver, but it also increased working-capital needs after its January 2026 launch.
The product carries somewhat higher loss rates by design, so underwriting discipline remains critical. Sezzle continues to target provision for credit losses of 2.5% to 3% of gross merchandise volume, supported by model improvements, new data sources and collection efforts.
Sezzle’s Signals Support the ThesisThe bottom line is that Sezzle’s platform expansion gives the growth story more depth than a narrow checkout-only model. More products, more frequent usage and subscriber-led engagement support a favorable growth-oriented view, provided credit performance and funding needs stay controlled.
SEZL currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). It also has a Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of A and VGM Score of A, which align with favorable growth and trading-style characteristics for investors focused on top-ranked stocks. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
The Value Score of D adds an important balance. Investors are paying a premium for Sezzle’s growth trajectory, so the case depends less on a low entry valuation and more on sustained execution across the broader product roadmap.
Sezzle uvádí, že jeho AI chatbot vyřeší 60 až 70 % zákaznických chatů a AI urychluje vývoj. Earn Tab od června 2025 přinesl 4,8 milionu návštěv a zvýšil 30denní BNPL konverzi o 55 %.
Key Takeaways Sezzle's AI chatbot resolves 60%-70% of customer chats, while AI-assisted coding speeds development.SEZL's open-loop cards broaden acceptance beyond integrated merchants and support everyday spending.Sezzle's Earn Tab drew 4.8 million visits and lifted 30-day BNPL conversion 55% after first use. Sezzle Inc. (SEZL - Free Report) is using artificial intelligence, open-loop payments and direct-to-consumer engagement to widen its role in consumer finance.
For investors, the question is whether these tools can support faster product development, lower operating friction and broader consumer usage without weakening credit discipline or execution quality.
Sezzle Uses AI to Scale OperationsSezzle has embedded artificial intelligence across customer support, underwriting, chargebacks, software development and business intelligence. The goal is to increase output while keeping expense growth below revenue growth.
Its AI support chatbot is already resolving roughly 60% to 70% of customer chats without escalation. Management also said AI is helping review chargebacks, improve support quality, expand access to company data and speed up engineering workflows.
AI-assisted coding is another part of the efficiency story. With up to around 80% of code AI-generated and then reviewed, Sezzle is using automation to shorten development cycles and support a broader product roadmap.
SEZL Broadens Open-Loop Card UsageSezzle’s open-loop and virtual-card strategy extends the platform beyond merchants that are directly integrated at checkout. That matters because broader acceptance can give consumers more ways to use Sezzle in everyday spending.
The company has also introduced a virtual card in Canada with select integrated merchants. Broader card acceptance could reduce reliance on new merchant onboarding over time, while merchants still remain an important source of customer acquisition.
This approach places SEZL in a competitive payments landscape that also includes Affirm Holdings (AFRM - Free Report) , which offers pay-over-time options, including longer payment plans. PayPal Holdings (PYPL - Free Report) is another relevant comparison because its digital wallet includes buy now, pay later options and broader consumer payment features.
Sezzle Targets Deeper Consumer EngagementSezzle’s engagement strategy is built around giving consumers more reasons to return to the platform. Subscription products, rewards and the Earn Tab are central to that model.
Since its June 2025 launch, the Earn Tab has generated 4.8 million visits. Consumers also showed a 55% increase in buy-now-pay-later conversion within 30 days of their first Earn Tab activity.
Those metrics support the idea of a self-reinforcing engagement loop. More visits can lift product discovery, while higher conversion can support repeat usage and stronger direct-to-consumer relationships.

SEZL's Roadmap Extends Into Financial ServicesThe product roadmap is moving beyond traditional Pay-in-4. Sezzle has added Pay-in-5, enhanced longer-term lending, Sezzle Mobile and broader card-based usage, while also working on cash-flow management tools and checking or deposit accounts.
These offerings could move Sezzle closer to an everyday money platform. A wider set of products may deepen wallet share and create more frequent customer touchpoints than a checkout-only model.
The expansion also adds complexity. Pay-in-5 can support engagement, but it increased working capital in the first quarter of 2026. Regulatory milestones, funding needs and product launch timing remain watch items as Sezzle pushes further into financial services.
Sezzle’s Growth and Momentum Scores Stand OutSezzle’s emerging trends support a growth-oriented narrative, but the stock still depends on execution. AI efficiency, open-loop adoption and deeper engagement need to translate into durable earnings growth rather than simply a broader feature set.
SEZL currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). The company also has a Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of A and VGM Score of A, which align with a favorable growth and momentum profile over the near term. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
The Value Score of D keeps the valuation discussion in focus. Investors are paying for Sezzle’s growth trajectory, making the next phase less about the number of new products and more about whether those products can scale profitably.
D-Wave má před výsledky za 2. čtvrtletí silnější komerční tah díky rekordním objednávkám, rostoucímu backlogu a vyššímu přijetí mezi firmami. QBTS za období duben až červen vzrostl o 75,1 %.
Key Takeaways D-Wave appears better positioned ahead of Q2 earnings, supported by stronger commercial traction.Record bookings, rising backlog and enterprise adoption are improving D-Wave's revenue visibility.RGTI's outlook hinges on turning technology milestones and QPU demand into steadier commercial revenue. Rigetti Computing (RGTI - Free Report) and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS - Free Report) are gearing up to report second-quarter 2026 results in early August, with investors looking for evidence that the quantum computing rally is being supported by continued commercial execution. While both companies entered the second quarter on the back of better-than-expected first-quarter results, their growth strategies remained distinctly different.
D-Wave continued to build momentum through record bookings, an expanding backlog and rising enterprise adoption of its annealing quantum platform, while Rigetti focused on scaling its superconducting gate-model roadmap with broader customer access to its 108-qubit Cepheus system and growing demand for its on-premises quantum processing units (QPUs).
Investor enthusiasm remained strong during the April-to-June quarter, though D-Wave retained the upper hand in the market. QBTS shares surged 75.1% over the period, outpacing the 43.1% gain in Rigetti stock, reflecting confidence in D-Wave's accelerating commercial traction and system sales outlook.
As both companies prepare to report June-quarter results, investors will closely watch whether Rigetti's technology milestones and D-Wave's growing commercial pipeline translated into stronger financial performance and reinforced their long-term positions in the rapidly evolving quantum computing market.
April to June Price Comparison
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Can D-Wave Sustain Its Commercial Momentum in Q2?D-Wave's second-quarter results are likely to reflect continued commercial traction following a record first quarter. Management expects revenues to improve sequentially, driven by the ongoing recognition of revenues from the Florida Atlantic University Advantage2 system sale, steady growth in Quantum Computing as a Service subscriptions and higher professional services revenues. The company also exited the March quarter with record bookings of $33.4 million and remaining performance obligations of $42.4 million, providing healthy revenue visibility heading into the June quarter.
Beyond near-term revenues, investors will also be watching D-Wave's execution on its expanding system sales pipeline. Management now expects to sell two to three quantum systems annually and reiterated that at least two systems are scheduled for delivery in 2026, with additional deals under active negotiation. Progress on bookings conversion, enterprise customer adoption and commercialization of the Advantage2 platform could provide further support to second-quarter performance.
D-Wave also ended the first quarter with approximately $588 million in cash and marketable securities, leaving it well capitalized to fund product development, expand its commercial footprint and advance both its annealing and gate-model quantum computing roadmaps. Any updates on customer wins, system deployments and revenue timing are likely to remain key catalysts for the stock.
What to Expect From Rigetti's Q2 ResultsRigetti's second-quarter results are expected to reflect continued progress in commercializing its superconducting quantum computing platform. The company indicated that the remaining revenues from previously announced Novera QPU purchase orders would be recognized primarily in the second quarter, following strong first-quarter growth driven by system deliveries. Continued execution on government and research contracts, alongside expanding cloud access to its 108-qubit Cepheus-1 system, is also expected to support the June-quarter top line.
Beyond revenues, investors will closely monitor customer adoption and execution against Rigetti's technology roadmap. Management highlighted growing demand for its on-premises Novera QPUs from national laboratories, universities and research institutions, while commercial interest continued to build across industries such as materials, logistics and financial services. Any updates on additional system orders, progress on the C-DAC 108-qubit deployment in India and improvements in the performance of the Cepheus-1 platform could serve as key catalysts during the quarter.
Rigetti ended the first quarter with approximately $569 million in cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments and no debt, providing ample financial flexibility to fund its chiplet-based roadmap, expand fabrication capacity and advance higher-qubit quantum systems. Investors will also look for updates on fidelity improvements, customer deployments and progress toward the company's long-term goal of achieving quantum advantage.
Q2 Earnings Expectation: RGTI Vs. QBTSThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for RGTI’s second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at a loss of 3 cents. This suggests an improvement from a 5-cent loss in the year-ago quarter. QBTS is expected to report a loss of 8 cents per share. It had incurred a 55-cent loss a year earlier.
Notably, the consensus estimate for EPS for both companies has remained unchanged over the past 60 days, indicating stable analyst expectations.

Our Take: QBTS or RGTI?Both companies are making meaningful progress in quantum computing, but they are at different stages of commercialization. Rigetti's investment thesis continues to hinge on executing its ambitious gate-model roadmap and translating technological advances into a broader base of recurring commercial revenues. The company has demonstrated encouraging progress with its chiplet architecture and cloud expansion, but its business remains heavily influenced by the timing of hardware deployments and research contracts. Until revenue becomes more predictable and commercial adoption broadens beyond early-stage customers, investors may remain cautious despite Rigetti's technological strengths. This outlook aligns with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
D-Wave, meanwhile, appears to have established stronger commercial traction. Rather than relying primarily on future technology milestones, the company is increasingly demonstrating that customers are willing to pay for its existing quantum solutions through cloud subscriptions, enterprise licensing and system sales. Its expanding commercial pipeline and improving revenue visibility suggest execution is becoming a larger driver of the investment story than promise alone. As the quantum industry gradually shifts its focus from technological potential to commercial adoption, D-Wave appears better positioned to capitalize on that transition. Backed by a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), QBTS looks like the more compelling quantum stock ahead of second-quarter earnings. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Key Takeaways Healthpeak is expected to report higher Q2 revenues, while FFOA per share may decline.Lab demand and rising senior healthcare spending could support Healthpeak's quarterly performance.High interest expenses and competition may pressure rents and profitability. Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (DOC - Free Report) is slated to report its second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 4, after market close. While the company’s quarterly results are likely to display a rise in revenues year over year, funds from operations as adjusted (FFOA) per share is expected to decline.
In the last reported quarter, this healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT) posted an FFOA per share of 45 cents, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.7%. Results reflected better-than-anticipated revenues. The quarter’s performance benefited from steady leasing activity, along with the Janus Living IPO and active capital allocation.
In the preceding four quarters, Healthpeak’s FFOA per share, surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate on three occasions and met in the remaining period, with the average beat being 2.83%. The graph below depicts this surprising history:
Factors at Play for HealthpeakLong-term growth in biopharma research and drug development supports the demand outlook for specialized lab real estate. Healthpeak’s focus on the lab segment is strategically aligned with this tailwind and may have aided its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Moreover, the senior citizen population is on the rise, and the healthcare expenditure for this age cohort is generallly higher than that of the overall population. Healthpeak’s life plan communities, formerly known as continuing care retirement communities, are anticipated to have benefited from this positive expenditure trend, supporting the segment’s quarterly performance.
However, high interest expenses during the second quarter are likely to have been a spoilsport for Healthpeak. The company’s operators contend with peers for occupancy. This would have likely hurt Healthpeak’s power to raise rents and affect revenues and profitability.
DOC’s Projections for Q2The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter total revenues is pegged at $726.16 million, indicating a rise of 4.6% from the year-ago reported number.
Before the second-quarter earnings release, the company’s activities were inadequate to gain analysts’ confidence. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarterly FFOA per share has remained unchanged at 44 cents over the past three months. The figure suggests a 4.4% fall from the year-ago quarter’s tally.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts for HealthpeakOur proven model does not conclusively predict a surprise in terms of FFOA per share for DOC this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an FFOA beat, which is not the case here.
Healthpeak currently has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank of #3. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Apple očekává, že růst ve 3. fiskálním čtvrtletí podpoří silná poptávka po iPhonu 17 a dražších modelech Pro. Tržby z iPhonů by měly meziročně vzrůst asi o 21,1 %.
Key Takeaways Apple's fiscal Q3 growth is expected to be led by strong iPhone 17 demand and higher Pro sales.Mac sales are forecast to rise 7.8%, aided by M5 models, though chip constraints may limit supply.iPad and wearables may post modest growth amid a tough comparison and steady device demand. Apple’s (AAPL - Free Report) third-quarter fiscal 2026 results, to be reported on July 30, are expected to have benefited from sustained demand for the iPhone 17 family and the more affordable iPhone 17e. The lineup delivered 22% year-over-year growth in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, supported by higher sales of Pro models, record upgrader activity and market-share gains. Demand remained strong across the United States, Greater China, Europe, India, Japan and Southeast Asia.
Apple Intelligence integration, advanced cameras, improved battery life and A19-series processors are likely to have encouraged upgrades. New accessibility capabilities, including AI-powered VoiceOver, Magnifier and natural-language Voice Control, further enhance the utility of the iPhone. However, growth could moderate sequentially following the exceptionally strong fiscal second quarter performance.
The iPhone accounted for 51.3% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter iPhone sales is pegged at $53.967 billion, suggesting roughly 21.1% year-over-year growth.

AAPL’s MacBook Demand Expected to Remain RobustMac revenues are expected to have benefited from strong demand for the MacBook Neo, M5-powered MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models featuring M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. Mac sales increased 6% year over year in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, driven primarily by higher laptop sales, while the installed base and the number of customers new to Mac reached records.
Apple Silicon’s ability to run advanced AI models locally is strengthening Mac adoption among developers, enterprises and educational institutions. MacBook Neo’s lower price is also expanding Apple’s addressable market. Nevertheless, Mac performance is likely to have been constrained by limited availability of advanced semiconductor nodes. Apple indicated that several Mac models would remain supply constrained during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 because demand exceeded expectations.
The PC segment climbed up 4.9% in the second quarter of calendar 2026, according to IDC. Apple had a market share of 9.9%, up 140 basis points (bps) on a year-over-year basis. Shipments grew 10.1% year over year to 6.7 million. In terms of shipments, Apple outperformed Dell Technologies (DELL - Free Report) , Lenovo (LNVGY - Free Report) and HP (HPQ - Free Report) . Shipments of Dell, Lenovo and HP declined 2.1%, 5%, and 9%, respectively, per IDC data. Dell, Lenovo and HP have market shares of 13.6%, 24.4% and 19.1%, respectively.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter Mac sales is pegged at $8.674 billion, suggesting 7.8% year-over-year growth.
AAPL iPad Revenues Likely to Face a Difficult ComparisoniPad revenues are expected to have benefited from demand for the M4-powered iPad Air, the A16-powered entry-level iPad and the M5-powered iPad Pro. In the fiscal second quarter, iPad sales increased 8% year over year, while more than half of buyers were new to the product. Strong adoption in emerging markets, including India, Mexico and Thailand, is likely to have supported the segment.
Enhanced Apple Intelligence and accessibility features, including natural-language Voice Control, Accessibility Reader and privately generated video subtitles, should improve iPad’s appeal for education, productivity and creative workloads. However, Apple warned that the segment faced a difficult year-over-year comparison because the A16-powered iPad was introduced in the prior-year quarter. Consequently, iPad revenues may have declined or posted only modest growth.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter iPad sales is pegged at $8.674 billion, suggesting 5.1% year-over-year growth.
Apple's Wearables Expected to Register Modest GrowthWearables, Home and Accessories revenues are expected to have benefited from demand for Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE, AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max 2. The category grew 5% year over year in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by higher wearables and accessories sales. The wearables installed base reached a record, with more than half of Apple Watch buyers being new to the product.
Apple Watch’s health and fitness capabilities and AirPods’ intelligent features, including Live Translation, are likely to have supported demand. The wider integration of Apple Intelligence and accessibility functions across Apple devices may also strengthen ecosystem engagement.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter Wearables, Home and Accessories sales is pegged at $7.805 billion, suggesting 5.4% year-over-year growth.

Meta podle Sarah Kunstové z Cleo Capital bude dál masivně utrácet za AI, i když to akcionáři nemají rádi. Firma zvýšila odhad capexu na fiskální rok 2026 na 125–145 miliard USD.
Sarah Kunst, Managing Director at Cleo Capital, argued in a CNBC interview on July 29 that Meta’s enormous AI infrastructure spending reflects Mark Zuckerberg’s personal conviction and is likely to continue despite investor pushback. In her view, Meta’s creative financing adjustments are largely optics, while the underlying capex commitment remains firmly intact.
Zuckerberg Is Prepared to Spend Through Wall Street’s Resistance “Zuck is back in his legacy metaverse era. He has a passion project. He is going to do what he wants to do, and the market is going to have to pull the reins hard if they want him to stop,” she told CNBC. She added that “he still wants to spend. He still thinks that he can kind of capex his way into a really interesting AI product, even though the rest of us maybe aren’t so sure.”
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META | META Price Prediction) raised its full-year 2026 capex forecast to $125-$145 billion, up from the initial $115-$135 billion range issued in January. Q1 capex hit $18.997 billion, and Reality Labs posted an operating loss of $4.03 billion. Zuckerberg’s Q1 shareholder letter promised the company is “on track to deliver personal superintelligence to billions of people.”
The BlackRock Deal Changes the Optics, Not the Spending Kunst pointed to Meta’s arrangement with BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), in which BlackRock takes majority ownership of a data center while Meta remains the key customer. She also flagged reports that Meta is considering selling excess compute capacity to companies like Anthropic. In her reading, “that shift is him saying, look, we understand that you don’t love this capex, and we are going to try to make it as less painful as possible, but we’re still going to be doing that spending.”
BlackRock reported a record AUM of $15.34 trillion in Q2 and has climbed 13.77% over the past month, partly driven by enthusiasm for hyperscaler infrastructure financing. Meta shares trade at $593.41, down 17.04% over the past year and 9.95% year to date.
Reddit Data Backs Investor Discomfort Kunst summed up the mood: “Investors are not loving this capex kind of race that’s happening. But we’re not seeing a huge sort of back away from it.” Reddit sentiment scores dropped to 26 on July 22, the lowest point in the two-week window, during peak earnings-week capex chatter.
Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Meta didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
A widely shared r/stocks post noted Apple’s capex sits at 1.8% of revenue while Alphabet’s is 37.5%, sharpening the comparison to Meta’s trajectory. Yet Polymarket traders assign an 85.4% probability to Meta beating quarterly earnings today, and analysts have a consensus target of $824.68 vs Meta’s current price of $594.30, with 49 buy and 8 strong buy ratings against 0 sell ratings.
Why Microsoft May Be the Cleaner AI Infrastructure Bet Kunst sees a smoother risk profile in Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). She noted that Microsoft trades more like software players and maintains valuable OpenAI exposure, adding that “Microsoft will probably make some money on it. The OpenAI exposure is nice. No matter what that company does.”
Microsoft’s capex is substantial. Q3 FY2026 spending reached $30.88 billion, and Satya Nadella said the company’s “AI business surpassed an annual revenue run rate of $37 billion, up 123% year-over-year.“ Polymarket traders assign a 94.5% probability to Microsoft beating earnings today, versus 85.4% for META. Microsoft trades at $393.35, down 22.63% over the past year, as the market reassesses hyperscaler valuations.
What to Watch Kunst’s message is clear: Meta’s creative financing is a softer wrapper around an unchanged AI spending trajectory. Investors should watch whether Q2 revenue lands within the company’s $58-$61 billion guidance, whether Reality Labs losses widen, and whether Zuckerberg raises the capex ceiling again on tonight’s call.
Meta trades at roughly 19x forward earnings, a discount to its historical valuation. That suggests investors are already pricing in significant capex pressure, but another spending increase could test how much patience the market has left.

Tesla za týden po výsledcích za druhé čtvrtletí klesla o 18 %, nejvíce od roku 2022, protože investoři zpochybnili plány na robotaxi a vysoké výdaje na AI. Firma zároveň vykázala slabší marže a záporný volný peněžní tok ve výši 1,1 miliardy USD.
Think you're having a rough summer? At least you haven't lost $300 billion like Tesla (TSLA -0.89%) CEO Elon Musk.
Musk made history this year when his other mammoth company, Space Exploration Technologies, went public, pushing Musk's personal wealth to more than $1 trillion. He became the first -- and only -- trillionaire in recorded history.
But it didn't last. SpaceX stock has fallen below its initial public offering price, and Tesla is hemorrhaging value following the company's second-quarter earnings report. Even though Tesla reported strong revenue -- and posted more than $100 billion in trailing-12-month sales for the first time -- the stock fell by 18% in a single week after July 22 earnings, its worst one-week performance since 2022.
How extensive is Musk's loss? According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his net worth is now $709 billion. Musk lost more money in the last six weeks than anyone else on the list even possesses. (No. 2 on the list is Larry Page, the co-founder of Alphabet, with a net worth of $281 billion.) Musk acknowledged this loss in a social media post on X, simply writing, "(Former) Trillionaire."
Let's see why the market has turned on Tesla stock despite its strong revenue growth.

The red flags surrounding Tesla now Tesla's primary business is electric vehicles -- the company delivered 480,126 of them in the second quarter, up 25% from a year ago, and that resulted in most of Tesla's $28.23 billion revenue. Tesla said EV sales brought in $20.51 billion, up 23%.
The big problem, however, was Tesla's dwindling margins. Operating margins fell from 4.1% a year ago to just 1.4% in the second quarter of this year. Operating expenses jumped 47%, to $4.35 billion. Tesla reported negative free cash flow of $1.1 billion in the quarter, and its cash and investments dropped by $1.2 billion.
Capital expenditures more than doubled sequentially, according to CFO Vaibhav Taneja, and the company expects them to continue increasing in the second half of the year. Tesla issued guidance for $25 billion in capex spending for the year and announced plans to borrow up to $30 billion.

The market reacts Undoubtedly, Tesla has huge plans that require enormous investment. Artificial intelligence is essential for Tesla's biggest bets, including self-driving technology and the Optimus robot line. The company is running early versions of its v15 autonomous driving software in robotaxis, but it's unclear when the technology will be ready for nationwide rollout -- or if regulators will sign off on it.
Meanwhile, Tesla is making room for Optimus robot production by discontinuing manufacturing lines at its Fremont, California, factory for Model S and X vehicles. Robots built on that line will be used for further training and development of the hardware and AI software, the company has said, but the technology appears to be a long way from commercial sales.
Tesla has always been priced for perfection, with a high forward price-to-earnings ratio that, even after a drop, still registers at an eye-watering 170. Investors have long been willing to buy and hold Tesla stock based on Musk's vision. But with dwindling margins, negative cash flow, doggedly high spending, and plans to borrow $30 billion, the shine appears to be coming off Tesla stock this summer.
Alphabet začne do konce roku 2026 dodávat TPU vybraným zákazníkům do jejich datacenter, přičemž část tržeb má přijít ještě letos a většina v roce 2027.
I keep hitting the buy button on Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL | GOOGL Price Prediction) for one reason: the company is turning its in-house AI silicon into an outside business, with first dollars landing this year.
For a decade, Google’s Tensor Processing Units were an internal cost lever. That posture is changing by the end of 2026, as AI turns Alphabet into an external chip and compute seller. On the Q1 2026 call, Sundar Pichai told investors Google will “begin to deliver TPUs to a select group of customers in their own data centers in the hardware configuration to expand our addressable market opportunity.” CFO Anat Ashkenazi added that TPU hardware agreements are already in the Cloud backlog, with “a small percent of them to come through as revenue later this year and then the majority to be realized as revenue in 2027.” That is the silicon shift driving my purchases.
The Receipts Demand is real. Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year over year to $20.03 billion in Q1 2026, and backlog nearly doubled quarter on quarter to over $460 billion. Cloud operating margin climbed from 17.8% to 32.9%, and revenue from products built on Google’s GenAI models grew nearly 800% year over year.
The money to deliver is committed. Alphabet raised 2026 CapEx guidance to $180 billion to $190 billion, up from $175 billion to $185 billion, after the Intersect acquisition, and Ashkenazi said 2027 CapEx will “significantly increase compared to 2026.” Q1 CapEx alone was $35.67 billion, up 107.44% year over year. Buildouts at this scale only make sense if capacity gets sold externally.
The base business funds it. Q1 EPS came in at $5.11 against a $2.63 estimate, the fourth consecutive quarter beating expectations. Operating income rose 30% to $39.7 billion, with operating margin at 36.1%. Search revenue grew 19% to $60.4 billion. The quarterly dividend was raised 5% to $0.22 per share. At a P/E of 26 on a $4.295 trillion market cap, with an 83.14% one-year return, I am paying a reasonable multiple for the compounder underneath the AI story.

Why Alphabet Over Alternatives Hyperscaler investors typically reach for Microsoft, Amazon, or Meta. I pass on them. Pichai’s framing is what I trust: “The fact that we own frontier models and own the silicon really helps us stay ahead of the curve… I think we are the only provider in the market that offers all of these vertical stack elements.” Microsoft relies on a partner for its frontier model. Amazon builds accelerators but does not ship a consumer frontier model at Gemini’s scale. Meta buys most of its compute. Alphabet is the only US-listed name pairing a proprietary frontier model (Gemini processing 16 billion tokens per minute via direct API, up 60% from the prior quarter), its own accelerator generation (TPU 8t with 3x the processing power of Ironwood), a hyperscale cloud, and global ad distribution under one roof. That vertical stack keeps my dollars here.
The Risk CapEx is eating free cash flow. FCF fell 46.63% year over year in Q1 to $10.12 billion. If external TPU revenue slips deep into 2027 instead of trickling in late 2026, the FCF gap widens before it closes. I own that risk. A $462 billion Cloud backlog and 57 Buy ratings against zero Sell ratings tell me demand is booked and timing is a detail, not a thesis break.
I will keep buying Alphabet until the silicon shift stops being a footnote in the transcript and starts being a line item on the income statement.

Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is set to report its second quarter 2026 results on July 30, with UBS lowering its price target to $305 from $333 while maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating as it expects continued strength from Amazon Web Services and improving e-commerce profitability.
The UBS analysts wrote that the price target reduction reflects expectations for higher capital expenditures in 2027 and beyond due to rising component costs and increased demand for infrastructure.
The analysts also adjusted near-term AWS revenue expectations after moving OpenAI’s initial use of Amazon’s Trainium chips from the fourth quarter of 2026 into early 2027, shifting approximately $3 billion in revenue out of this year.
Despite the near-term adjustment, UBS highlighted AWS as a key driver of its bullish outlook, noting that it believes the market is underestimating the cloud unit’s backlog and revenue growth potential in the second half of 2026 and into 2027.
UBS forecasts AWS revenue growth of 36% in 2026, ahead of the Street estimate of 31%, and expects growth of 48% in 2027 compared with consensus expectations of 30%.
The analysts wrote that its largest divergence from consensus remains Amazon’s 2027 operating income outlook, which UBS estimates will be approximately 49% above current Street expectations.
UBS’s investment thesis is centered on continued AWS growth acceleration as Amazon expands capacity, alongside potential market share gains in e-commerce driven by improving service levels, including broader same-day delivery and increased investment in groceries.
The firm also expects improving unit economics to support faster margin expansion in Amazon’s retail business, as growth in units sold continues to outpace cost growth. In addition, UBS pointed to Amazon’s Prime Video advertising opportunity, highlighting the potential for higher-margin revenue growth as the service scales globally through partnerships and live sports offerings.
UBS maintained its ‘Buy’ rating, writing that Amazon’s valuation remains attractive, with the stock trading at around 14 times its updated 2027 earnings estimate. The firm argued that a premium asset such as Amazon should not trade at a discount to the broader market multiple.
The revised $305 price target, which implies upside from current levels of about $228, is based on a 30 times price-to-free cash flow multiple applied to UBS’s estimate of $109.9 billion in free cash flow from the third quarter of 2027 through the second quarter of 2028.
Britský regulátor prověřuje, zda Microsoft neklamal zákazníky o cenách předplatného Microsoft 365 Personal a Family po změnách plánů. CMA zkoumá, zda lidé nedostali klíčové informace a neplatili víc.
Regulators in the United Kingdom are investigating whether Microsoft misled customers about its subscription options pricing, according to a Wednesday (July 29) press release.
The investigation comes in response to concerns that consumers might not have been given clear information about subscription options when Microsoft changed its Microsoft 365 Personal and Family plans, the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority said in the release.
“When a business changes its subscription plans, customers need clear and timely information about their options,” Hayley Fletcher, the CMA’s senior director for consumer protection, said in the release. “Our investigation will consider whether Microsoft customers were misled and ended up paying more as a result. As people rely more and more on AI tools like Copilot, it’s important that everyone is able to access these through fair and transparent practices and understand when they have the opportunity to shop around and make choices about which products they want to use.”
Microsoft last year automatically began giving customers access to new features like Copilot for no added cost for the remainder of their subscription period, according to the release. When that period ended, customers were automatically placed on a plan with the new features at a higher price, unless they canceled or picked another plan.
Microsoft offered Personal and Family plan customers a limited-time option to switch to a Classic plan, offering the same features as before at the same price, per the release. For annual Microsoft 365 Personal and Family Plan customers, the plan was 25 pounds (about $33) a year more than the Classic version.
“The CMA is looking into whether Microsoft’s communications with customers before renewal were misleading,” the release said. “The investigation will examine whether customers were given key information about the plans and the difference in cost to understand the options available to them before making a decision.”
The CMA has not yet concluded whether Microsoft broke the law, according to the release.
“Consumer trust and transparency are priorities for Microsoft, and we are reviewing the CMA’s claims in detail,” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement to PYMNTS. “We remain committed to working constructively with the regulator as their inquiry progresses.”
PYMNTS Intelligence found that among consumers who use a dedicated AI platform for at least one task, 30% reported using Copilot, compared to 83% for OpenAI’s ChatGPT and 48% for Google’s Gemini.
UBS tvrdí, že výprodej polovodičů je přehnaný a obavy z „circular financing“ u AI projektů zkreslují realitu. Podle banky financování táhne dodavatelský řetězec čipů, ne hyperscaleři.
Semiconductors are caught in a selloff UBS thinks is overblown.
The bank argues that fears over "circular financing" in AI infrastructure deals misread who's actually cashing in on the buildout, and it's the chip supply chain, not the hyperscalers, footing the bill.
The commentary follows a wave of investor inquiries about data center deals from Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD, XETRA:AMD). Recent media reports indicated Nvidia is backing up to $50 billion in lease agreements for a Hut 8 site in Texas and is working on deals worth $750 billion in total, including a $250 billion arrangement with OpenAI, according to Bloomberg. AMD, together with an undisclosed neocloud partner, signed a deal with Core Scientific for up to 2.5 gigawatts of capacity, starting with 500 megawatts in 2027.
UBS identified four drivers behind the recent correction: concerns about open source models weighing on frontier model providers' growth, questions about the memory cycle's sustainability, perceived "circular" financing arrangements, and crowded investor positioning in semis.
The bank pushed back on the first three. It sees the rise of open source models as a net positive for Nvidia, pointing to Artificial Analysis data showing new open models sit between prior and current-generation frontier offerings. It also maintained its view that NAND pricing will roll over in late calendar 2027 and DRAM in mid-2028, with nothing so far to change that call.
On financing, UBS disputed Street estimates that free cash flow for Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft will fall below $100 billion in 2027. The bank's own hyperscaler capex projection of roughly $1.4 trillion for that year implies the four companies' combined free cash flow would instead be slightly negative, around negative $60 billion including Oracle. That gap is largely due to rising memory prices, which UBS said are set to require about $550 billion in incremental capex between 2026 and 2027, nearly the entire projected year-over-year increase for that period.
Against that backdrop, UBS estimates Nvidia will generate approximately $900 billion in free cash flow through the end of 2028, with Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) generating about $450 billion and AMD about $90 billion, all within its US coverage universe. In UBS's view, the supply chain is generating all of the cash, which the bank says makes sense.
That dynamic, UBS argued, explains why cash-generating suppliers are helping underwrite the buildout, and suggested Nvidia may be shifting toward a more vertically integrated model.
The bank also said hyperscalers' capex increases largely reflect higher memory prices rather than added compute, meaning supply and demand for compute itself has tightened further.
As memory prices normalize, UBS expects hyperscaler spending to ease and free cash flow to improve, a trend it views as ultimately positive for the AI trade despite any near-term drag on semis.
NVIDIA klesla ve středečním řádném obchodování o 2,3 % poté, co slabší výsledky SK Hynix prohloubily výprodej v čipech. Akcie tlumí i tlak na to, zda AI investice přinášejí dostatečnou finanční návratnost.
NVIDIA NVDA , a U.S. designer of processors used for artificial-intelligence computing, fell approximately 2.3% in Wednesday's regular-session trading as of 11:18 a.m. ET as investors assessed SK Hynix's disappointing earnings and continuing pressure across semiconductor stocks. SK Hynix HXSCL , a South Korean memory-chip producer supplying NVIDIA, closed 9.6% lower after its record profit missed expectations. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index declined 1.6% during morning trading.
SK Hynix's operating profit increased more than sixfold, supported by demand for advanced memory used in AI systems. However, shipment delays involving some advanced products limited price increases for its DRAM chips. The company disclosed approximately 10 long-term supply agreements, but analysts said the arrangements could restrict gains if memory prices continue rising. Investors were also disappointed by the absence of detailed plans for increasing shareholder returns.
NVIDIA's decline illustrates how investor attention has shifted from AI spending commitments toward evidence that infrastructure investment is producing sufficient financial returns. Reuters reported that investors were also concerned about intensifying competition from Chinese chipmakers and lower-cost AI models. Microsoft and Meta Platforms are scheduled to report after Wednesday's close, followed by Amazon and Apple later in the week. Their cloud growth, AI revenue and infrastructure-spending disclosures could influence whether pressure on NVIDIA and the broader semiconductor sector continues.
Disney v USA v srpnu odstaví Microsoft GitHub Copilot a další AI nástroje pro kódování. Místo toho plánuje nasadit OpenAI Codex a ponechá si Claude Enterprise a Cursor.
Disney is leaning into AI under CEO Josh D'Amaro, but it's dropping Microsoft's GitHub Copilot. Blanca Cruz / AFP via Getty Images; Illustration by Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Disney has decided it no longer needs a Copilot on its AI coding journey.
The Mouse House is ditching Microsoft's GitHub Copilot and several other AI coding tools in August in the US, tech leaders told select staffers on Tuesday afternoon, according to a screenshot of an internal message viewed by Business Insider. These changes don't apply internationally, a Disney tech leader told employees.
A breakup with Disney is the latest headache for Microsoft's Copilot, which "lags behind" rivals like ChatGPT and Claude in adoption, as Business Insider's Ashley Stewart has reported. GitHub Copilot is the coding assistant in Microsoft's AI product suite.
Microsoft's loss is Sam Altman's win. Disney is preparing to adopt OpenAI's Codex coding tool, according to the screenshot. The message didn't give a timeline for the tool's introduction.
Disney will also keep staffers' access to Anthropic's Claude Enterprise and Cursor, while dropping two AI tools from Amazon: the agentic code editor Kiro and the AI assistant Q. (Claude will also no longer be accessible through the Amazon Web Services Bedrock platform.)
Copilot's challengesEight Disney tech employees told Business Insider that they rarely or never used GitHub Copilot.
One product manager said GitHub Copilot produced code that was "needlessly complex" and required clean-up.
A longtime software engineer said their access to GitHub Copilot had "lapsed for lack of use."
"Once I got Cursor and Kiro, there was no need to use it," this staffer said.
Copilot frustrated some users last month by updating its pricing to charge customers based on their AI token usage, which is industry-standard. The company said GitHub Copilot's request-based model was "no longer sustainable" as it unveiled the shift.
However, a Microsoft executive said in June that this move helped fuel the "best month ever" for the GitHub developer platform, Business Insider previously reported.
Microsoft has set out to revamp GitHub while shaking up its Copilot teams to help its many Copilot tools compete with rivals from OpenAI and Anthropic.
Disney staffers are enchanted by Claude and CursorClaude and Cursor have become fan favorites among Disney tech employees, as some superusers use agents to invoke those AI tools tens of thousands of times per day, Business Insider previously reported.
One high-level software engineer said their AI tool usage was "probably around 80% Claude at the terminal when coding."
Disney's streaming leaders created an AI adoption dashboard to track usage and have encouraged tech employees to use it to work faster, Business Insider previously reported.
"The No. 1 thing is to increase velocity," or the speed of output, a high-level AI staffer said.

Royal Caribbean čeká v roce 2026 růst tržeb o 9 % a upraveného EPS o 14 % na 17,73–17,87 USD díky vyšším kapacitám a rekordním cenám. Kapacita má v roce 2026 vzrůst o 6,6 %.
Key Takeaways Royal Caribbean pairs record pricing with fleet growth, private destinations and new river cruises.Capacity is set to rise 6.6% in 2026, 4% in 2027 and 6% in 2028 as newer ships join the fleet.2026 revenues are expected to grow 9%, while adjusted EPS is projected at $17.73-$17.87. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL - Free Report) is pairing record pricing with a broader vacation platform built around ships, destinations, loyalty and technology.
The central question for investors is whether these initiatives can widen RCL’s addressable market while supporting earnings growth and cash generation through a heavy investment cycle.
Royal Caribbean Demand Holds at Record PricingIn the second quarter of 2026, capacity increased 5% year over year, and Royal Caribbean carried nearly 2.4 million guests. Constant-currency net yields rose 1.2%, coming in ahead of guidance.
Close-in demand was better than expected, led by Caribbean products and onboard revenue. RCL’s 2026 booked position remains in line with prior years at record pricing, while early 2027 bookings are pacing ahead of historical levels.
RCL Expands Its Fleet and Vacation PortfolioFleet expansion remains a core growth lever. Royal Caribbean took delivery of Legend of the Seas in the second quarter, adding another Icon-class platform to its portfolio.
The orderbook includes additional Icon-class, Oasis-class and Discovery-class ships. Capacity is expected to rise 6.6% in 2026, followed by 4%, 6% and 7% in 2027, 2028 and 2029, respectively, giving RCL a measured expansion runway.
Newer ships support premium pricing, onboard spending and repeat travel by adding differentiated experiences. Carnival Corporation Ltd. (CCL - Free Report) and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH - Free Report) also compete for vacation spending, making product distinction an important part of the cruise investment debate.
Royal Caribbean Builds a Private Destination EdgeRoyal Caribbean plans to expand its private destination portfolio from three locations to eight by 2028. These assets are becoming a larger part of its effort to control more of the vacation experience.
Perfect Day is expected to draw nearly four million guests in 2026, while Royal Beach Club Nassau has become the company’s highest-rated Bahamas experience. Private destinations can help RCL differentiate itineraries, retain more guest spending and connect ship and shore experiences under one ecosystem.
RCL Adds River Cruises to Its Growth PlatformCelebrity River Cruises gives Royal Caribbean another vacation occasion rather than a replacement for ocean cruising. Management has described river cruising as incremental to its existing platform.
The first vessels, Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker, are scheduled for delivery in 2027, followed by additional ships in 2028. RCL can use its distribution, loyalty infrastructure and customer data to market these trips to existing Celebrity and Royal Caribbean guests.
Royal Caribbean Targets Higher Earnings and Cash FlowRoyal Caribbean expects 2026 revenues to grow 9%, supported by capacity growth and constant-currency net yield gains. Adjusted earnings per share are projected to rise 14% year over year to $17.73-$17.87.
The company ended the second quarter with $6.9 billion of liquidity, while leverage was below three times. RCL also returned more than $600 million to shareholders during the quarter through dividends and share repurchases.
Still, execution discipline matters. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $4.7 billion in 2026, mainly tied to the new ship orderbook and land-based destination initiatives.
RCL Signals Balanced Growth With a Hold RatingRoyal Caribbean has several visible growth drivers, including record pricing, private destinations, newer ships, digital engagement and river cruising. The offset is that major fleet and destination investments require careful timing, cost control and demand resilience.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). That rank points to a balanced near-term setup, with strong operating momentum weighed against execution risks and recent estimate movement.
RCL has a Momentum Score of A and a VGM Score of B, signaling favorable share-price and combined style characteristics. Its Value Score of C and Growth Score of C suggest a more neutral profile on those individual measures, keeping the overall investment case balanced rather than one-sided.

Qualcomm heads into earnings with memory supply constraints and weaker Chinese handset demand expected to make Q3 the trough for QCT revenue. Investors will focus on whether management can confidently call an inflection from here.
Automotive revenue reached a record last quarter and grew 38%, making the durability of that momentum a major swing factor. Qualcomm’s diversification story also depends on tangible progress from hyperscaler custom silicon shipments and its integration of Alphawave.
The stock trades at a forward P/E near 15, reflecting persistent concerns about handset cyclicality and customer concentration. Confirmation of a Q3 trough, paired with concrete data center milestones, could push investors toward the diversification thesis.
Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM | QCOM Price Prediction) reports fiscal Q3 2026 results after the close tonight at 4:00 PM ET. CEO Cristiano Amon guided for this quarter to be the bottom for Chinese handset revenue, so this report anchors the recovery timeline.
The Backdrop: Trough Quarter, Recovery Thesis Last quarter, revenue landed at $10.60B, down 3.46% YoY, with non-GAAP EPS of $2.65 beating by 3.67%. Handsets fell 13% to $6.02B due to memory pressure and weakness in Chinese OEMs. Automotive offset with a record $1.33B, up 38%.
Shares sit at $159.64, down 14% over the past month and 6.12% over the past week. Amon called the memory environment “challenging” while flagging hyperscaler custom silicon shipments later this calendar year. Capital return remained aggressive with $2.8B in buybacks, $945M in dividends, plus a new $20B repurchase authorization.

Consensus Estimates Metric Q3 FY26 Guide YoY at Midpoint Q3 FY25 Actual Revenue $9.2B-$10.0B ~-7% $10.365B QCT Revenue $7.9B-$8.5B -9% to -3% $8.993B EPS (Non-GAAP) $2.10-$2.30 ~-21% $2.77 The guide reflects a deliberate step down from the FY25 pace. Polymarket implies a 70.7% probability of an EPS beat, with the crowd assigning 62.5% odds to QCT revenue clearing $8.00B and only 37.5% to $9.00B.
What We’re Watching: Data Center Debut Meets China Bottom Tonight, I’ll be watching how CEO Amon frames the hyperscaler’s custom-silicon ramp. Management said initial shipments are on track for later in this calendar year, and any pull-in or slip could materially affect the FY27 setup. The Alphawave Semi acquisition now sits inside the Data Center segment, so analysts will be looking for an early read on contribution and margin profile.
Investors will also focus on the Chinese handset trajectory. Company guidance flagged Q3 as the bottom with sequential growth returning in Q4. I’ll also track automotive to see whether the +38% pace holds or moderates toward the 15-20% band seen in earlier quarters.
Margins deserve close attention. Operating income fell 26% YoY last quarter, even as the top line held. Memory pricing pass-through and mix shift toward automotive and IoT will determine whether operating leverage returns in FY27. Finally, investors will be looking for any insights on AI agents and the physical AI platform teased at the June 24, 2026 Investor Day.
