Akeso oznámila, že ivonescimab ve 3. fázi studie HARMONi-2 prokázal statisticky významné zlepšení celkového přežití oproti pembrolizumabu u PD-L1 pozitivního pokročilého NSCLC. Studie už dříve ukázala i lepší PFS.
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: SMMT) today noted that its partner Akeso Inc. announced positive overall survival (OS) results from the randomized, double-blind Phase III HARMONi-2 study evaluating ivonescimab monotherapy against pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have positive PD-L1 expression. HARMONi-2 (AK112-303) is a single-region, multi-center Phase III study conducted in China and sponsored by Akeso, with all relevant data exclusively generated, managed, and analyzed by Akeso.
In this preplanned analysis of OS, a secondary endpoint in the HARMONi-2 study, Akeso reported that ivonescimab monotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant improvement compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy. Results from this HARMONi-2 analysis are scheduled to be presented at an upcoming medical conference.
Akeso received marketing authorization for ivonescimab from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) based on the results of HARMONi-2 in April 2025. In the study’s primary analysis, ivonescimab monotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the trial’s primary endpoint, progression-free survival (PFS) by Independent Radiologic Review Committee (IRRC), when compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy, achieving a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.51 (95% CI: 0.38, 0.69; p<0.0001). A clinically meaningful benefit was demonstrated across clinical subgroups, including those with PD-L1 low expression, PD-L1 high expression, squamous, and non-squamous histologies.1
The HARMONi-2 study was conducted by Akeso in China, where ivonescimab is approved and commercially available for indications in NSCLC. Ivonescimab remains investigational and is not approved by any regulatory authority in Summit’s license territories, including the United States and Europe.
About Ivonescimab
Ivonescimab, known as SMT112 in Summit’s license territories, North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Japan, and as AK112 outside of Summit’s license territories, is a novel, potential first-in-class investigational bispecific antibody combining the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects associated with blocking VEGF into a single molecule. By design, ivonescimab displays unique cooperative binding to each of its intended targets with multifold higher affinity to PD-1 when in the presence of VEGF.
This design is intended to differentiate ivonescimab as there is potentially higher expression (presence) of both PD-1 and VEGF in tumor tissue and the tumor microenvironment (TME) as compared to normal tissue in the body. Summit believes ivonescimab’s specifically engineered tetravalent structure (four binding sites) enables higher avidity (accumulated strength of multiple binding interactions) in the TME (Zhong, et al, iScience, 2025). This tetravalent structure, the intentional novel design of the molecule, and bringing these two targets into a single bispecific antibody with cooperative binding qualities have the potential to direct ivonescimab to the tumor tissue versus healthy tissue. The intent of ivonescimab’s design, together with a half-life of 6 to 7 days after the first dose (Zhong, et al, iScience, 2025) increasing to approximately 10 days at steady state dosing, is to improve upon previously established efficacy thresholds, side effects, and safety profiles associated with prior approved drugs to these targets.
Ivonescimab was engineered by Akeso Inc. (HKEX Code: 9926.HK) and is currently utilized in multiple Phase III clinical trials. Over 4,000 patients have been treated with ivonescimab in clinical studies globally and over 70,000 patients when considering those treated in a commercial setting in China, as noted by Akeso.
There are currently 16 Phase III clinical studies that are either announced, ongoing, or have been completed studying ivonescimab, five of which are Summit-sponsored global studies, one of which is a multiregional study sponsored by a cooperative group, and 10 of which are being or have been conducted in China by Akeso. Summit began its clinical development of ivonescimab in NSCLC, commencing enrollment in 2023 in two multiregional Phase III clinical trials, HARMONi and HARMONi-3. In 2025, Summit began enrolling patients in HARMONi-7. Summit expanded its Phase III clinical development program into colorectal cancer (CRC) in the fourth quarter of 2025 by initiating enrollment in HARMONi-GI3. In 2026, Summit announced initiation of HARMONi-GU1, a Phase II/III study in urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer) with global clinical trial site activations planned to begin by the fourth quarter of 2026.
HARMONi is a Phase III clinical trial evaluating ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who were previously treated with a third-generation EGFR TKI (e.g., osimertinib). Detailed results of the study were provided in September 2025, and a Biologics License Application (BLA) was submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing authorization, which the FDA accepted for filing in January 2026; the goal Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date is November 14, 2026.
HARMONi-3 is a Phase III clinical trial evaluating ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with first-line metastatic, squamous or non-squamous NSCLC, irrespective of PD-L1 expression. The clinical trial is evaluating the two histologies as individual, separately powered cohorts with independent statistical powering.
HARMONi-7 is a Phase III clinical trial evaluating ivonescimab monotherapy compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with first-line metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression.
HARMONi-GI3 is a Phase III clinical trial evaluating ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy compared with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in patients with first-line unresectable metastatic CRC.
HARMONi-GU1 is a Phase II/III clinical trial evaluating ivonescimab plus the antibody drug conjugate (ADC) enfortumab vedotin (EV) compared to pembrolizumab plus EV as first-line therapy in patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC).
ILLUMINE is a Phase III study being conducted by GORTEC, a cooperative group dedicated to Head and Neck Oncology, in recurrent / metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (r/m HNSCC). ILLUMINE is a three-arm Phase III clinical trial designed to evaluate ivonescimab monotherapy, as well as ivonescimab in combination with ligufalimab, Akeso’s proprietary anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody, compared to monotherapy pembrolizumab in patients with PD-L1 positive r/m HNSCC.
Five Phase III ivonescimab clinical trials have read out to date, all five with positive data. Four of these five studies are in NSCLC, and one is in biliary tract cancer (BTC). In addition to Summit’s positive HARMONi study, Akeso has had positive read-outs in three single-region (China), randomized Phase III clinical trials, HARMONi-A, HARMONi-2, and HARMONi-6, for ivonescimab in NSCLC, including a statistically significant overall survival benefit in all three studies from China. Akeso has also reported a statistically significant OS benefit in the single-region (China), randomized Phase III HARMONi-GI1 trial in advanced BTC.
HARMONi-A was a Phase III clinical trial which evaluated ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have progressed after treatment with an EGFR TKI.
HARMONi-2 is a Phase III clinical trial evaluating monotherapy ivonescimab against monotherapy pembrolizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have positive PD-L1 expression.
HARMONi-6 is a Phase III clinical trial evaluating ivonescimab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy compared with tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC, irrespective of PD-L1 expression.
HARMONi-GI1 is a Phase III clinical trial evaluating ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy compared with durvalumab plus chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced BTC.
Akeso is actively conducting additional Phase III clinical studies in settings outside of NSCLC and biliary-tract cancer, including triple-negative breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
Ivonescimab is an investigational therapy that is not approved by any regulatory authority in Summit’s license territories, including the United States and Europe. Ivonescimab was initially approved for marketing authorization in China in May 2024.

Matrix Service (MTRX - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.16 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.17 per share. This compares to a loss of $0.28 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -5.88%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this energy services company would post earnings of $0.07 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.13, delivering a surprise of +85.71%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Matrix Service, which belongs to the Zacks Engineering - R and D Services industry, posted revenues of $244.53 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.02%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $216.38 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Matrix Service shares have lost about 8.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11.5%.
What's Next for Matrix Service?While Matrix Service has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Matrix Service was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.18 on $233.91 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.70 on $948.11 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Engineering - R and D Services is currently in the top 42% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Quanex Building Products (NX - Free Report) , another stock in the broader Zacks Construction sector, has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026. The results are expected to be released on September 3.
This housing materials maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.68 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -1.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Quanex Building Products' revenues are expected to be $498 million, up 0.6% from the year-ago quarter.
Eos Energy Enterprises (EOSE +18.75%), a grid-scale long-duration battery storage systems provider, closed at $3.61, up 18.75%. The stock climbed following a collaboration between Alphabet's (GOOG +0.53%) (GOOGL +0.63%) Google and MN8 Energy. Investors are watching project spending and execution. Trading volume reached 73.1M shares, coming in about 184% above its three-month average of 25.7M shares. Eos Energy Enterprises IPO'd in 2020 and has fallen 64% since going public.
How the markets moved todayThe S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.46%) closed at 7,667, up 0.47%, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.45%) closed at 26,218, up 0.45%. Among electrical equipment and grid-scale battery energy storage systems peers, Fluence Energy (FLNC +1.34%) closed at $10.56, up 1.34%, while Stem (STEM -0.55%) closed at $5.43, down 1.09%.
What this means for investorsThe collaboration among the three companies will be owned and operated by power platform MN8 Energy, which will use Eos Energy's zinc-based and lithium-ion storage energy solutions to power Google's data centers. In a press release, MN8 went on to explain:
The integrated portfolio adds new clean, dispatchable capacity to the grid serving Google's data centers in the region, including a planned project in West Virginia. The solar project is expected to reach commercial operation in 2028, with lithium-ion storage and long-duration storage following in 2029 and 2030, respectively.In less than a year, EOSE stock has plummeted from $18 to $3.61 amid earnings misses, a lack of progress toward profitability, and manufacturing delays, but today's news may offer a lifeline for the once-promising energy storage company. That said, Eos has burned $422 million in FCF while earning $214 million in sales over the last year, so it is far from out of the woods, even with this deal. Investors should be prepared for volatility if they are interested in the stock, as equity and debt raises will be likely.

Microsoft poprvé zveřejnil čtvrtletní tržby Azure: 29,4 miliardy USD, což ho staví za Amazon, ale před Google. Firma zároveň mění reporting na dva segmenty.
Microsoft (MSFT.O) on Wednesday reported sales from its Azure cloud computing unit on a quarterly basis for the first time, providing a direct comparison to its top rivals Amazon.com (AMZN.O) and Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) Google as the three compete in the computing market amid an AI data center boom.
Microsoft said that Azure had $29.4 billion in sales in its most recently ended quarter and $101.9 billion in sales in its most recent fiscal year ended June 30. The figures place Microsoft behind Amazon, whose cloud sales were $42.2 billion in its most recent quarter, but ahead of Google, which reported $24.8 billion in cloud sales in its most recent quarter.
Microsoft previously reported a closely watched growth rate for Azure but not its sales. Microsoft will move from three reporting segments to two: one called "Agents and Infra" that will include its cloud computing services, its sales from AI-based software and its revenue from more traditional business software, and one called "Devices and Consumer" that will include its Windows operating system, its Xbox gaming unit and its advertising sales across both its Bing search engine and LinkedIn, the business-focused social network.
"There's no question AI represents a profound shift in both technology and business," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement accompanying the change. "It is changing what we build and how we operate, and it is blurring the boundaries between our products and reshaping our business models."
Microsoft also updated the quarterly forecast it gave investors last month, slightly lowering it its Azure revenue forecast, but said the changes reflected the move of some sales from GitHub, its code-hosting service, which were previously grouped with Azure, to grouping those with its M365 Cloud software businesses, which includes most of its advanced AI offerings. Microsoft's overall current quarter outlook remains unchanged, the company said.
Microsoft is a major cloud computing provider to OpenAI, which exclusively used Microsoft for training its models until changes in the terms of its deal allowed it to work with Amazon Web Services and others.
AWS had $128.7 billion in sales for calendar 2025, and Microsoft Azure had sales of $85.8 billion over the comparable four-quarter period. Google has not reported full-year cloud sales.
Microsoft shares rose about 1.4% in after-hours trading on Wednesday after the company disclosed the change.
Is Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Overvalued After Q3 Earnings Beat? EPS of $1.06 vs Estimate of $0.47; Revenue at $12.2B Robust Growth and Strategic Positioning Highlighted in Latest Financial Report
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co HPE released its 8-K filing on September 2, 2026, reporting impressive financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2026. The company achieved record revenue of $12.2 billion, marking a 34% increase year-over-year, and significantly surpassed both profit and growth expectations.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is a leading information technology vendor that offers hardware and software solutions for enterprises. Its primary products include compute servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment, as well as a high-performance computing division. The company is focused on becoming an edge-to-cloud technology provider, ensuring that its portfolio supports both hybrid cloud and hyperconverged infrastructure.
Performance Highlights and ChallengesHPE's substantial revenue and profit increases reflect consistent customer demand across its segments. The company reported GAAP operating profit up 464% year-over-year with a remarkable GAAP diluted net earnings per share (EPS) of $1.06, exceeding analyst estimates of $0.47. However, HPE continues to navigate challenges such as competitive pressures in the evolving technology landscape and the need to maintain growth momentum amidst shifting market dynamics.
The quarterly results underscore the importance of HPE's strategic focus on AI, which is anticipated to be a multi-year growth catalyst for the business. CEO Antonio Neri emphasized the "durability of our profitable growth momentum," showcasing how HPE's differentiated offerings position the company to capitalize on AI advancements at scale.
Financial Achievements and Industry RelevanceNoteworthy financial achievements include a gross margin increase of over 1,000 basis points compared to last year, leading to a GAAP gross margin of 40.1%. Free cash flow reached $1.0 billion, and the company has committed to returning at least 75% of its free cash flow to shareholders. Such significant profitability improvements are critical for a hardware company and indicate strong operational efficiency.
For the quarter, key metrics illustrate the company's financial health: revenue of $12.2 billion, GAAP operating profit of $1.393 billion, and a net income of $1.511 billion. This financial strength positions HPE favorably to address upcoming industry challenges and fulfill future growth potential.
Key metrics and financial data from the income statement are summarized as follows:
GuruFocus Valuation CheckHewlett Packard Enterprise Co HPE holds a GF Score of 69 out of 100, indicating above-average performance compared to its peers.

Jefferies snížila cílovou cenu Oracle na 290 USD, ale ponechala doporučení Buy. Podle banky může být po letošním propadu zhruba o 25 % už většina špatných zpráv započtena v ceně akcie.
Jefferies cut its price target to $290 but kept a Buy rating, betting Oracle's AI cloud growth can offset concerns about heavy spending and rising leverage. Summary
Oracle shares are down 25% this year
Oracle Corp. (ORCL, Financials) has had a rough year, but Jefferies thinks much of the bad news may already be reflected in the stock.
Oracle shares are down about 25% year to date, while concerns around heavy capital spending, financing needs and AI data center execution have weighed on sentiment.
Jefferies analyst Brent Thill still sees opportunity. He reiterated a Buy rating on Oracle ahead of fiscal first-quarter earnings, while lowering his price target to $290 from $320.
Sentiment is close to “peak negative” and much of the downside risk is already priced in, Thill said. The bullish case is largely built around Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Jefferies expects OCI growth of around 115%, 41% operating margin and 40% growth in remaining performance obligations.
Oracle has also added around $183 billion of incremental RPO since its big AI contract announcement in September 2025. Despite that growth, the stock is still down about 41% from where it stood before the announcement.
The risk is Oracle's balance sheet could remain stretched with net leverage at historical highs of around 4.5 times. It's a simple setup for investors. Oracle needs that growth in its AI infrastructure to come soon enough to justify the spending required to support that growth.
The next test will be first-quarter results, with Wall Street forecasting revenue of $19.13 billion and earnings of $1.74 a share.

Statement Regarding Use of Non‑GAAP Financial Measures
We report the following non-GAAP financial measures, which have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP Product gross profit, Operating income, Net income, Net income attributable to Snowflake Inc., and Net income per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders—basic and diluted. Non-GAAP product gross profit, operating income, net income, and net income attributable to Snowflake Inc. are each defined as the respective GAAP measure, excluding, as applicable, the effect of (i) stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) expenses associated with acquisitions and strategic investments, (iv) amortization of debt issuance costs, (v) restructuring charges or recoveries, net, (vi) asset impairment related to office facility exits, net of associated sublease income, if any, (vii) adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest, if any, and (viii) the related income tax effect of these adjustments as well as the non-recurring income tax expense or benefit associated with acquisitions. Non-GAAP product gross margin is calculated as non-GAAP product gross profit as a percentage of product revenue. Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated as non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of revenue. Our non-GAAP net income per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders—basic is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to Snowflake Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Our non-GAAP net income per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders—diluted is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to Snowflake Inc. by the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding, which includes (a) the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, restricted stock units, employee stock purchase rights under our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan), (b) the potential dilutive effect of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes using the if-converted method, and (c) the antidilutive impact, if any, of the Capped Calls entered into in connection with the Notes. The Capped Calls are expected to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes under certain circumstances. Under GAAP, the antidilutive impact of the Capped Calls is not reflected in diluted shares outstanding until exercised. The potential dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units with performance conditions not yet satisfied is included in the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance conditions will be met. The potential dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units with market conditions is included in the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares to the extent the market conditions are met. Amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest were zero or not material for all periods presented. Beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company no longer attributes a portion of non-GAAP net income to noncontrolling interest as it no longer controls a majority-owned subsidiary. The calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and subsequent periods aligns with the methodology used to calculate non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders as described above. We believe the presentation of operating results that exclude these items that are (i) non-cash items, (ii) non-recurring items, or (iii) items that have highly variable amounts due to factors beyond our control and are unrelated to our core operations such that management does not consider them in evaluating the business performance or making operating plans, provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and any capitalized software development costs. Cash outflows for employee payroll tax items related to the net share settlement of equity awards are included in cash flow for financing activities and, as a result, do not have an effect on the calculation of free cash flow. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of our core business operations. Adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow plus (minus) net cash paid (received) on employer and employee payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions. Employee payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions are generally pass-through transactions that are expected to have a net zero impact on free cash flow over time, but that may impact free cash flow in any given fiscal quarter due to differences between the time that we receive funds from our employees and the time we remit those funds to applicable tax authorities. We believe that excluding the effects of these payroll tax-related items will enhance investors' ability to evaluate our free cash flow performance, including on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Adjusted free cash flow margin is calculated as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe these measures provide useful supplemental information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of our core business operations. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.
Key Business Metrics
We monitor our key business metrics, including (i) free cash flow and (ii) the other metrics set forth below to help us evaluate our business and growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies. See the section titled “Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for the definition of free cash flow. The calculation of our key business metrics may differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies, securities analysts, or investors.
Product Revenue. Product revenue is a key metric for us because we recognize revenue based on platform consumption, which is inherently variable at our customers’ discretion, and not based on the amount and duration of contract terms. Product revenue is primarily derived from the consumption of compute, storage, and data transfer resources by customers on our platform. Customers have the flexibility to consume more than their contracted capacity during the contract term and may have the ability to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal. Our consumption-based business model distinguishes us from subscription-based software companies that generally recognize revenue ratably over the contract term and may not permit rollover. Because customers have flexibility in the timing of their consumption, which can exceed their contracted capacity or extend beyond the original contract term in many cases, the amount of product revenue recognized in a given period is an important indicator of customer satisfaction and the value derived from our platform. While customer use of our platform in any period is not necessarily indicative of future use, we estimate future revenue using predictive models based on customers’ historical usage to plan and determine financial forecasts. Product revenue excludes our professional services and other revenue. Net Revenue Retention Rate. To calculate net revenue retention rate, we first specify a measurement period consisting of the trailing two years from our current period end. Next, we define as our measurement cohort the population of customers under capacity contracts that used our platform at any point in the first month of the first year of the measurement period. The cohorts used to calculate net revenue retention rate include end-customers under a reseller arrangement. We then calculate our net revenue retention rate as the quotient obtained by dividing our product revenue from this cohort in the second year of the measurement period by our product revenue from this cohort in the first year of the measurement period. Any customer in the cohort that did not use our platform in the second year remains in the calculation and contributes zero product revenue in the second year. Our net revenue retention rate is subject to adjustments for acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity, and we present our net revenue retention rate for historical periods reflecting these adjustments. Since we will continue to attribute the historical product revenue to the consolidated contract, consolidation of capacity contracts within a customer’s organization typically will not impact our net revenue retention rate unless one of those customers was not a customer at any point in the first month of the first year of the measurement period. Customers with Trailing 12-Month Product Revenue Greater than $1 Million. To calculate the number of customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, we count the number of customers under capacity arrangements that contributed more than $1 million in product revenue in the trailing 12 months. For purposes of determining our customer count, we treat each customer account, including accounts for end-customers under a reseller arrangement, that has at least one corresponding capacity contract as a unique customer, and a single organization with multiple divisions, segments, or subsidiaries may be counted as multiple customers. We do not include customers that consume our platform only under on-demand arrangements for purposes of determining our customer count. Our customer count is subject to adjustments for acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity, and we present our customer count for historical periods reflecting these adjustments. Forbes Global 2000 Customers. Our Forbes Global 2000 customer count is a subset of our customer count based on the 2026 Forbes Global 2000 list. Our Forbes Global 2000 customer count is subject to adjustments for annual updates to the list by Forbes, as well as acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity with respect to such customers, and we present our Forbes Global 2000 customer count for historical periods reflecting these adjustments. Remaining Performance Obligations. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including (i) deferred revenue and (ii) non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears. Portions of RPO that are not yet invoiced and are denominated in foreign currencies are revalued into U.S. dollars each period based on the applicable period-end exchange rates. RPO is not necessarily indicative of future product revenue growth because it does not account for the timing of customers’ consumption or their consumption of more than their contracted capacity. Moreover, RPO is influenced by a number of factors, including the timing and size of renewals, the timing and size of purchases of additional capacity, average contract terms, seasonality, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and the extent to which customers are permitted to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal. Due to these factors, it is important to review RPO in conjunction with product revenue and other financial metrics disclosed elsewhere herein. Use of Forward‑Looking Statements

(1) Restructuring recoveries, net represent recoveries on certain costs incurred by us in connection with a restructuring plan for a majority-owned subsidiary.
(2) Asset impairment related to office facility exits, net of sublease income for the six months ended July 31, 2025 primarily relates to our San Mateo office facility.
(3) Stock-based compensation-related charges included employer payroll tax-related expenses on employee stock transactions of approximately $23.6 million and $45.0 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, and $22.2 million and $41.7 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively.
(4) Beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company no longer attributes a portion of GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) to noncontrolling interest as it no longer controls a majority-owned subsidiary. As such, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, the calculations of GAAP and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders align with the methodologies used to calculate the corresponding metrics for Snowflake Inc. common stockholders.
(5) The non-GAAP weighted-average shares used in computing non-GAAP net income per share attributable to Snowflake Inc. common stockholders—diluted included (a) the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase rights under our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan) and (b) the potential dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes using the if-converted method, starting from the beginning of the period or the issuance date of the Notes, if later. The potential dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units with performance conditions not yet satisfied is included in the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance conditions will be met. The potential dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units with market conditions is included in the non-GAAP weighted-average number of diluted shares to the extent market conditions are met.
(6) Amounts exclude employee payroll taxes on net share settlement of equity awards, which are reflected as financing cash outflows. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, the excluded amounts were $184.9 million and $327.7 million, respectively; for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, the excluded amounts were $162.0 million and $294.5 million, respectively.
Snowflake Inc. (SNOW - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.62 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.45 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.35 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +37.78%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.32 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.39, delivering a surprise of +21.88%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Snowflake, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry, posted revenues of $1.55 billion for the quarter ended July 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.91%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.14 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Snowflake shares have added about 45.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11.5%.
What's Next for Snowflake?While Snowflake has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Snowflake was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.53 on $1.57 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.97 on $6.08 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well.

That wraps up our initial coverage of Broadcom’s Q3 results. Thank you for stopping by!
Broadcom just reported earnings, with shares initially down 5% following the report. Here are the key numbers:
Revenue: $29.59 billion vs. $29.24 billion expected Adjusted EPS: $3.32 vs. $3.22 expected Quick Read:
Broadcom beat on both the top and bottom lines, but the upside was relatively modest, with revenue coming in just 1.2% above expectations. At Broadcom’s size and with enormous AI expectations already embedded in the stock, investors appear to have wanted a much bigger beat or stronger forward outlook to reignite shares.
Wall Street consensus for Q4 FY2026 sits at and , with the top-end revenue estimate reaching .
CEO Hock Tan tends to guide conservatively, then deliver. Q2 guidance called for ; the result landed at .
Investors want a Q4 AI semiconductor dollar figure, EBITDA margin near , and reaffirmation of the FY27 AI target.
Bullish: Q4 revenue guide above $32 billion, AI semis pointed toward $18 billion, and fresh hyperscaler color. Bearish: Guidance below $30 billion, flat AI dollars versus Q3’s , or margin softness. With shares , the outlook matters more than the beat tonight.
This live blog is being updated by Thomas Richmond, a 24/7 Wall St. contributor. Simply stay on this page, and new updates will appear below automatically.
We expect Broadcom to release Q3 earnings shortly after 4:15 p.m. ET.
Broadcom enters tonight’s Q3 earnings report with one enormous number hanging over the stock: management guided for $16 billion of semiconductor revenue, up more than 200% year over year.
The company beat estimates last quarter, but shares still plunged 12.59% as expectations ran ahead of the results. Since then, management has said AI order visibility now extends “all the way to 2028” across hyperscale customers.
Broadcom CEO Hock Tan has previously pointed to more than $100 billion in AI semiconductor revenue for FY27, setting high expectations for tonight’s Q4 guidance.
A stronger Q4 outlook or additional 2027 AI visibility could reignite the stock, while any weakness in networking or AI order conversion could reinforce the concerns that triggered June’s selloff.
This article is updated throughout the trading day. Check back for more.
Full CoverageThe story so far
Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO | AVGO Price Prediction) is expected to report fiscal Q3 2026 results today at 4:15 PM ET. With a market cap of roughly $1.75 trillion, this report will likely offer the investment world one of the best real-time insights into the current state of the AI infrastructure trade.
Beat, Guide, and a Sharp Reset Q2 FY26 delivered record numbers: revenue of $22.19 billion (+47.87% YoY), non-GAAP EPS of $2.44, and free cash flow of $10.26 billion, or 46% of revenue. AI semiconductor revenue reached $10.80 billion, up 143% and above management’s forecast.
Yet the market’s reaction was harsh. AVGO fell 12.59% on the day and 7.21% over 30 days. The stock is down 5.03% over the past month and up 7.21% YTD. CEO Hock Tan’s Q3 guidance of $29.4 billion in revenue, up 84% year on year, sets an unusually high bar heading into tonight.
Consensus Estimates Metric Q3 FY26 Estimate YoY Change FY26 Estimate FY27 Estimate Revenue $29.44B +84% $106.04B $173.57B EPS (Non-GAAP) $3.2382 +91.6% $11.626 $19.5323 Revisions skew positive: Q3 EPS saw 25 upward revisions against 9 downward over 30 days, and FY27 EPS moved from $18.22 to $19.53 over 90 days. The setup implies growth reacceleration, not just AI mix.
What I’m Watching Tonight: Custom Silicon, Networking, and Visibility Through 2028 Tonight, I’ll be watching the AI semiconductor line first. Management guided $16 billion for Q3 and $56 billion for full-year FY26 AI revenue, with second-half AI revenue expected to double from the first half. Q2 AI bookings alone were over $30 billion.
Analysts will also focus on customer commitments. Broadcom signed a long-term TPU and networking deal with Google, secured over 1 gigawatt for Anthropic in 2026 plus another 5 gigawatts from 2027, is tracking OpenAI production for late 2026, and will deliver 3 gigawatts of Meta MTIA XPUs through 2028.
I’ll also watch networking momentum. AI networking hit almost 40% of Q2 AI revenue, with the 200 terabit next-gen switch tape-out due this quarter. Infrastructure Software is guided to $8.9 billion, up 31% year on year, a sharp acceleration from Q2’s 9%. Finally, gross margin mix matters: TPUs carry lower margins, offset partially by “very rich margins” in networking.
Earnings History Quarter EPS Surprise Day-Of Move 1-Week Move 30-Day Move Q2 FY26 +1.79% -12.59% -7.96% -7.21% Q1 FY26 +1.32% +4.8% +0.96% +0.36% Q4 FY25 +4.27% -11.43% -5.44% -4.7% Q3 FY25 +1.6% +9.41% +7.46% +0.45% On average, shares moved -0.16% seven days after earnings across the past nine reports.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal quarter were $24.0 billion, compared to $19.6 billion at the end of the prior fiscal quarter.
During the third fiscal quarter, the Company generated $14.2 billion in cash from operations and spent $0.5 billion on capital expenditures, resulting in $13.7 billion of free cash flow.
On June 30, 2026, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.65 per share, totaling $3.1 billion.
The differences between the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP results are described generally under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and presented in detail in the financial reconciliation tables attached to this release.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Business Outlook
Based on current business trends and conditions, the outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, ending November 1, 2026, is expected to be as follows:
Fourth quarter revenue guidance of approximately $34.8 billion; Fourth quarter non-GAAP operating income guidance of approximately 66 percent of projected revenue. The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release. The Company is not readily able to provide a reconciliation of projected non-GAAP financial measures to the relevant projected GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Actual results will vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. The Company undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Quarterly Dividends
The Board of Directors of Broadcom has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.65 per share. The dividend is payable on September 30, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on September 21, 2026.
Financial Results Conference Call
Broadcom Inc. will host a conference call to review its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 and to discuss the business outlook today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
To Listen via Internet: The conference call can be accessed live online in the Investors section of the Broadcom website at https://investors.broadcom.com/.
Replay: An audio replay of the conference call can be accessed for one year through the Investors section of Broadcom's website at https://investors.broadcom.com/.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. When possible, a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release. The Company is not readily able to provide a reconciliation of projected non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Broadcom believes non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going performance. Therefore, Broadcom provides this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons.
In addition to GAAP reporting, Broadcom provides investors with net income, operating income, gross margin, operating expenses, cash flow and other data on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related costs, including integration costs, non-GAAP tax reconciling adjustments, and other adjustments. Management does not believe that these items are reflective of the Company's underlying performance. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of evaluating the core operating performance of the Company, establishing internal budgets, calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives, comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models, strategic planning, evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates and how their operations compare to the Company's operations, and benchmarking performance externally against the Company's competitors. The exclusion of these and other similar items from Broadcom's non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.
Free cash flow measures have limitations as they omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Investors should not consider presentation of free cash flow measures as implying that stockholders have any right to such cash. Broadcom's free cash flow may not be calculated in a manner comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.

State Street Investment Management spustila ETF UCBG zaměřené na endowmentovou strategii UC Investments. Start podpořila investice UC ve výši 2,5 miliardy USD, největší v historii amerického ETF.
BOSTON & OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--State Street Investment Management today announced the launch of the State Street® SPDR® UC Investments 90/10 Endowment Strategy Index ETF (“UCBG”), a new asset allocation ETF developed in collaboration with UC Investments (“UC”), the investment arm of the University of California and the index provider for the fund. The launch is backed by a $2.5 billion investment from UC, making it the largest ever U.S.-listed ETF launch.1
The fund seeks to track the UC Investments 90/10 Endowment Strategy Index, which combines broad U.S. equity exposure with short-duration investment-grade corporate bond exposure. The index allocates 90% of its weight to the S&P 500® Index, representing large-cap U.S. equities, and 10% to the S&P U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Bond 1-3 Year Index, which includes U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities between one and three years.
UC and S&P Dow Jones Indices developed the custom index, which was inspired by UC’s $7.9 billion Blue and Gold Endowment Pool, a long-term public markets strategy that since its inception seven years ago, has been the best performing product within UC’s $236 billion investment portfolio.2 The strategy reflects UC’s conviction that low-cost, liquid, diversified public markets exposure can deliver compelling long-term returns while avoiding the complexity and illiquidity of traditional endowment models.
By bringing this philosophy into an ETF wrapper, UCBG offers long-term investors access to UC’s approach, which was previously available only within the institution’s portfolio and directly to employees of its 10 campuses and six medical centers through its retirement savings program, the nation’s second-largest public defined contribution program, behind only the federal government.
“At UC Investments, we focus on building long term, cost-effective portfolios to support our hundreds of thousands of UC students, faculty, staff, and alumni for generations to come,” said Jagdeep Singh Bachher, the University of California’s Chief Investment Officer. “This record-breaking ETF launch makes our institutional investment philosophy available to a broader community of investors through the transparency, efficiency and accessibility of the ETF structure, while staying true to the principles that have guided our investment approach.”
The ETF builds on State Street’s longstanding relationship with UC Investments. Today, State Street Investment Management provides asset management services to UC Investments’ $236 billion3 portfolio across pension, endowment, and other assets, while State Street Bank and Trust Company provides custody and other investment services.
"Our relationship with UC Investments spans more than two decades and has always been driven by innovation. With this launch, we are bringing an endowment-inspired strategy to a far broader range of investors, delivered with the low cost and transparency that make ETFs so powerful," said Ronald O'Hanley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of State Street Corporation.
“This partnership demonstrates what’s possible when a leading asset owner and asset manager work together to turn a successful institutional investment strategy into an accessible solution for investors,” said Yie-Hsin Hung, President and Chief Executive Officer of State Street Investment Management. “It reflects our commitment to helping clients extend their investment priorities to new markets and investor communities.”

Important Risk Information
State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) is now State Street Investment Management. Please click here for more information.
Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal.
The Index is not intended to replicate the exact asset allocation of any endowment pool of UC Investments and, therefore, the Fund’s returns may differ from the returns of UC Investments' endowment pools.
ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
While the shares of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets, they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at significant discounts in periods of market stress.
Equity securities may fluctuate in value and can decline significantly in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions.
Funds managed with an index investment strategy attempt to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current or projected performance of the index or of the actual securities comprising the index. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the performance of a fund managed with an index investment strategy may be less favorable than if such fund employed an active strategy. While a fund managed with an index investment strategy seeks to track the performance of an index as closely as possible, the fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, and cash flows.
Returns on investments in stocks of large companies could trail the returns on investments in stocks of smaller and mid-sized companies.
Debt Securities Risk: The value of the debt securities may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations, changes in interest rates, inability of issuers to repay principal and interest or illiquidity in the debt securities markets.
Income Risk: The Fund's income may decline due to falling interest rates or other factors. Issuers of securities held by the Fund may call or redeem the securities during periods of falling interest rates, and the Fund would likely be required to reinvest in securities paying lower interest rates. If an obligation held by the Fund is prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest the prepayment in other obligations paying income at lower rates. A reduction in the income earned by the Fund may limit the Fund's ability to achieve its objective.
Market Risk: The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile, and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors, including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, inflation, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, trade policy changes or disputes, the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.

Cloudflare oznámila podporu pro Cursor Cloud Agents v prostředí Cloudflare Sandboxes, takže AI kódovací agenti mohou běžet v bezpečném prostředí pod kontrolou zákazníka. Zachovává se workflow Cursoru, ale práce probíhá v izolovaných sandboxech.
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today announced support for running Cursor Cloud Agents on Cloudflare Sandboxes, giving developers and platform teams a new way to run AI coding agents in secure, customer-controlled environments.
The integration builds on Cloudflare’s work with other leading AI agent platforms, including Devin Outposts and Claude Managed Agents, and reflects a simple shift in how agentic software is being deployed: developers want to keep the tools they already use, while enterprises want control over where agent work runs and how it accesses code, systems, and secrets. Cloudflare Sandboxes are becoming a natural execution layer for that model: secure, isolated environments where agent work can run closer to a customer’s code, systems, and security requirements.
Cursor Cloud Agents let developers assign coding tasks from the Cursor app, cursor.com, or the Cursor mobile app. With Cursor Self-Hosted Machines, Cursor continues to run the agent loop, including inference, planning, and orchestration, while the agent gets work done on a customer-selected worker. In SpaceXAI’s model, a worker is the customer-operated machine or environment that executes agent tasks; it is separate from Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare’s serverless developer platform. With Cloudflare Sandboxes, that self-hosted worker can run in a sandbox environment in the customer’s Cloudflare account.
Developers keep the Cursor workflow they already use: they still start and manage agents from Cursor, and Cursor still routes the work and streams results back to the user. What changes is where the work happens. Tool calls, including terminal, filesystem, and browser actions, run inside customer-controlled Cloudflare sandbox environments, which matters for teams with strict requirements around where code, build caches, and secrets live. For organizations using Cursor Self-Hosted Machines across different execution environments, Cloudflare Sandboxes provide another controlled option for running agent workloads.
“Developers want powerful AI tools that fit naturally into their workflows, and enterprises need those tools to run in environments they control,” said Dane Knecht, Chief Technology Officer at Cloudflare. “Cloudflare Sandboxes gives teams the freedom to use the AI tools they prefer while giving organizations a secure, isolated place to run agent work. Bringing Cursor Cloud Agents to Cloudflare Sandboxes is another step toward making Cloudflare the execution layer for the next generation of agentic applications.”
Cursor Cloud Agents run via self-hosted machines use an outbound connectivity model. A Cursor worker runs the Cursor CLI and opens a long-lived outbound HTTPS connection to Cursor’s backend, where agent tool calls are sent over that connection. Cursor does not need to open an inbound connection into the customer’s network; teams can use the quickstart guide to configure a Cursor worker and connect it to their environment.
"SpaceXAI’s goal is to make agents useful wherever developers work,” said Toni Adams, Sr Director of Partnerships at SpaceXAI. “Self-Hosted Machines let teams keep Cursor workflows across desktop, web, and mobile while routing work to infrastructure they operate. Cloudflare Sandboxes give those teams an enterprise-grade option for running agent workloads in a controlled environment.”
The integration supports Cursor’s Self-Hosted Machines workflow for individual developers and teams. Developers can connect a single worker through My Machines, while enterprise teams can use Cursor self hosted worker pools as named routing targets that allow new agent chats to wait until an available worker claims them. Teams can create pools for different execution environments, then use pool orchestration to watch demand, start worker capacity when needed, and release it when sessions end.
During self-hosted operation, repositories, build caches, and secrets stay on the customer's machines. File chunks read by the model during inference, along with Cloud Agent artifacts such as screenshots, videos, and log references, are uploaded so they can appear in pull requests and dashboards. Teams that want to integrate self-hosted machine status or pool routing into their own systems can also use the Cloud Agents API.
Developers and platform teams can learn more about Cursor Self-Hosted Machines by visiting the Cloudflare tutorial, the Cursor quickstart, or the Cursor worker pools, pool orchestration, and Cloud Agents API documentation. To see how Cloudflare Sandboxes support other agent platforms, read more about Devin Outposts on Cloudflare and Claude Managed Agents on Cloudflare.

We think the tokens that inference drives is going to grow 87 times to 3600 quadrillion tokens by 2030. Training demand grows five x to 850 Z flops by 2030. Enterprise Agentic is expected to be the single largest workload by 2028. We’re expecting AI to be 75% of all data center demand by 2030.”
Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts echo management’s bullish sentiment. Zacks Consensus Analyst Estimates suggest that revenue and earnings per share will again double by 2028, continuing the company’s hockey-stick like growth trajectory.

On September 2, 2026, NetApp Inc NTAP released its 8-K filing announcing impressive financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. The company reported record net revenues of $2.03 billion, a 30% increase year-over-year, and surpassed the average analyst estimates of $1.65 earnings per share (EPS) and $1.83869 billion in revenue.
NetApp Inc, a leader in storage hardware and software solutions, has transitioned into a cloud-centric data infrastructure company. The company's flagship ONTAP data management software is complemented by an all-encompassing portfolio of all-flash, hybrid-flash, and cloud-native solutions. With a strong focus on its Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud segments, NetApp generates a substantial portion of its revenue from the U.S. market while expanding its international presence.
NetApp has showcased remarkable growth; however, challenges persist in an increasingly competitive cloud landscape. This fiscal success is critical as it reflects the company's ability to innovate and adapt to customer needs, which may also help mitigate future challenges such as technological disruptions and pricing pressures within the industry.
Some of NetApp's noteworthy achievements in this quarter include:
Record all-flash array net revenue of $1.3 billion, growing 47% year-over-yearPublic Cloud net revenue reaching $206 million, up 28% year-over-yearBillings climbed to $2.06 billion, reflecting a 36% year-over-year increaseGAAP operating margin of 23.9% and a non-GAAP operating margin of 31.9%The acquisition of DataPelago, Inc., an AI data infrastructure company, further establishes NetApp's strategic direction towards AI and cloud integration.

This reflects a commitment to maintaining a healthy financial structure while supporting ongoing growth initiatives. Importantly, the cash flow details reveal a decline in net cash provided by operating activities at $503 million—down 25% year-over-year—which could signal potential cash management challenges ahead.

2nd Consecutive Quarter of Positive Comparable Sales Growth
Delivered Q2 Profitability Ahead of Outlook
Announces $75 Million Debt Prepayment, Progressing Toward 2x Leverage1Target
Reaffirms Fiscal 2026 Outlook
, /PRNewswire/ -- Petco (Nasdaq: WOOF), the retailer "where the pets go" to find everything they need to live their best lives, today reported its second quarter 2026 financial results.
Joel Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Petco, stated, "We delivered stronger than expected profitability in the quarter while achieving our second consecutive quarter of positive comps. We were pleased to see growth in consumables, which highlights that our 'Reach for the Sky' strategy is gaining traction. Looking ahead to the second half, we are positioned to benefit from several growth drivers and are pleased to reaffirm our full-year sales and profitability outlook. We remain confident in our ability to generate sustainable, long-term growth."
Q2 2026 Overview
In the second quarter of 2026, the Company received substantially all IEEPA tariff refunds related to tariffs paid under IEEPA in 2025 and 2026. All results below include a net benefit of $6.8 million related to such refunds, representing the proceeds net of investments to propel the repositioning of new assortments for future growth, and to a lesser degree, offset incremental fuel and tariff expense in Q2.
For the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025:
Net sales of $1.5 billion increased 0.05%; comparable sales increased 0.6%. These results reflect a sales disruption from the initial stronger-than-expected points redemption from our membership program relaunch. Prior to the relaunch, sales were trending ahead of our Q2 outlook. Gross profit increased to $591.1 million; gross margin rate increased 37 basis points to 39.7% of net sales, compared to $585.3 million or 39.3% of net sales last year. Without the net benefit from the tariff refund, normalized gross margin was about flat with the prior year. Operating income increased 11.1% to $47.8 million compared to $43.0 million last year; operating margin increased 32 basis points to 3.2% compared to 2.9% of net sales last year. Net income increased to $38.7 million versus $14.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA2 was $122.2 million versus $113.9 million. Without the net benefit from the tariff refund, normalized adjusted EBITDA was $115.4 million. The Company closed 1 net store, ending the quarter with 1,377 stores. Sabrina Simmons, Chief Financial Officer of Petco, added, "We are pleased to deliver another quarter of positive comps and deliver on our bottom-line commitments as we execute on our economic model. Subsequent to the second quarter, we voluntarily prepaid an additional $75 million in debt, bringing our total prepayments to $170 million in the past nine months. Looking ahead, we are pleased to reaffirm our full-year sales and Adjusted EBITDA outlook, reflecting confidence in our second half strategic initiatives while remaining thoughtful about balancing the dynamic backdrop while investing behind our growth priorities."
Q2 2026 Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Ending cash balance grew by $104.8 million to $293.5 million versus $188.7 million last year. Inventory decreased 1.1% year-over-year versus the 0.05% increase in net sales. Cash provided by operating activities year-to-date was $130.6 million compared to $70.4 million last year. Free cash flow2 was $60.8 million year-to-date versus $9.9 million last year. Total debt was $1.48 billion, down from $1.59 billion last year. Subsequent to the second quarter, the Company prepaid $75.0 million in debt, underscoring its commitment to lowering its leverage ratio1 to 2x. 2026 Outlook
The Company reaffirmed its full year 2026 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA2 outlook, which includes net IEEPA tariff refunds of $6.8 million, and provided its outlook for the third quarter of 2026. Given the Company's solid profit performance in the first half of the year, the outlook provides the Company the flexibility to continue investing behind its growth initiatives in the second half, while also absorbing ongoing supply chain headwinds.
Assumptions in the outlook include that economic conditions, currency rates and the tax and regulatory landscape remain generally consistent, and that current or planned tariffs on imports into the U.S. from China and other countries as of September 2, 2026, will remain at current levels. Additionally, the outlook assumes no additional IEEPA tariff refunds are received for the balance of the year.

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information on
non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures
* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and has not been reconciled to the most comparable GAAP outlook because it is not possible
to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events
and often outside of management's control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of
precision required, we are unable to provide outlook for the comparable GAAP measures. Forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA are made
in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has provided this non-GAAP financial information, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in this earnings release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release. The non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules because it excludes certain amounts included in net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it facilitates comparison of the current period performance with that of the comparable prior period. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA affords investors a view of what management considers to be Petco's core operating performance as well as the ability to make a more informed assessment of such operating performance as compared with that of the prior period. Please see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2026 for additional information on Adjusted EBITDA.
The table below reflects the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2026 compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2025.

Mexico joint venture EBITDA represents 50 percent of the entity's operating results for all periods, as adjusted to reflect the results
on a basis comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. In the financial statements, this joint venture is accounted for as an equity method
investment and reported net of depreciation and income taxes because such a presentation would not reflect the adjustments made
in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, we include the 50 percent interest in the Company's Mexico joint venture on an Adjusted
EBITDA basis to ensure consistency. The table below presents a reconciliation of Mexico joint venture net income to Mexico joint

Key Takeaways
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel told CNBC in an interview Wednesday that Alphabet’s strength in AI was a “fundamental” reason behind the decision to invest in the tech giant.Legendary investor Warren Buffett, who stepped down from his role as Berkshire’s CEO at the end of last year, initiated the investment.
Google’s position as a “significant player” in AI was a “fundamental” reason behind Berkshire Hathaway’s decision to invest in the tech giant, according to CEO Greg Abel.
“We knew it was going to have a significant impact on America and businesses” by watching how the spread of AI is influencing Berkshire’s subsidiaries, the CEO said in a televised interview with CNBC Wednesday.1
The conglomerate’s stake in Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), which was initiated by legendary investor Warren Buffett, is the third-largest holding in Berkshire’s (BRK.A, BRK.B) portfolio. Berkshire first revealed its stake last November, when Buffett was in his final months as CEO. Abel took over the role at the start of the year.
Abel said he was approached earlier this year about participating in the Google parent’s $80 billion stock offering to raise funds for its AI buildout, and settled on investing another $10 billion. Berkshire has grown its stake to about 106 million shares as of the end of the second quarter, according to a regulatory filing last month. At Wednesday’s closing prices, the investment would be worth about $35.64 billion.
Alphabet and Berkshire shares climbed less than 1% Wednesday on a broadly positive day for markets. Alphabet shares are up about 8% for the year, but well off their May highs. Berkshire shares have added just 0.5% in 2026 so far, having pulled back in the wake of the company’s earnings report last month.

AeroVironment získal od americké armády kontrakt za 464,8 milionu USD na program E-HEL. Půjde o první výrobní zakázku pro systémy řízené energie v historii USA.
AV’s proven LOCUST ® family of laser weapons will anchor E-HEL Army program
ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AeroVironment, Inc. (“AV”) (NASDAQ: AVAV), a global leader in proven autonomous and counter-drone systems, today announced it has been awarded a landmark contract valued at $464.8 million by the U.S. Army Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Fires (PAE Fires) program office for the Enduring-High Energy Laser (E-HEL) program.
This award represents the first-ever production contract for directed energy systems in United States history, signaling a historic transition from prototype to production for laser weapon systems.
Share This award represents the first-ever production contract for directed energy systems in United States history, signaling a historic transition from prototype to production for laser weapon systems.
“This award marks a defining moment not only for AV, but for the future of modern defense,” said Wahid Nawabi, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer at AV. “The transition of directed energy from experimentation to an enduring, fielded capability reflects years of collaboration, innovation, and operational success alongside the U.S. Army. We are proud to deliver these production systems and support the Army’s mission with scalable, modular, and cost-effective defense solutions.”
Under this Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), AV will deliver dozens of LOCUST® X3 laser weapon systems over the next few years in support of multi-year fielding requirements, advancing the Army’s layered air defense capabilities against group 1-3 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) while also solidifying directed energy as a cornerstone of future battlefield operations.
AV's LOCUST X3, a 30-kilowatt platform-agnostic system, will be integrated with various platforms such as the Army's Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), with options for palletized configurations, while analyzing the potential to integrate on an Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) in the near future. As part of the program, AV will also provide ongoing system support and training.
The E-HEL program builds upon the success of the Army Multi-Purpose High Energy Laser (AMP-HEL) prototypes currently in use by the Army.
The contract follows LOCUST’s successful testing at White Sands Missile Range, led by Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401) and PAE Fires, which demonstrated safe, effective counter-drone operations in U.S. airspace and directly enabled a DOW–FAA safety agreement validating the system for domestic use.
By entering production, the E-HEL program enables the Army to field a sustainable, scalable, and cost-effective solution against UAS. The ramp up in production will be supported by a $30 million investment in AV’s Albuquerque, NM facility that was announced in March of 2026.
“This program represents the culmination of years of operational lessons learned and rapid prototyping,” said John Garrity, Vice President of Directed Energy Systems at AV. “E-HEL is not a future capability, it is a production-ready system, built on proven technology, and designed to meet the demands of today’s fight while scaling for tomorrow’s threats.”
The award further reinforces AV’s leadership in directed energy and its role as a trusted partner to the U.S. Department of War. The company’s platform-agnostic approach enables integration across multiple mission sets and platforms, ensuring flexibility and rapid deployment in diverse operational environments.
As the Army transitions to procurement at scale, the E-HEL program establishes a foundation for sustained production, innovation, and fielding of next-generation laser weapon systems, delivering capability “at the speed of light.”
About LOCUST®
AV’s LOCUST family of directed energy systems represents a breakthrough in counter-UAS defense, delivering precise, scalable, and cost-effective protection against evolving aerial threats. Its performance was recently featured on CBS News’ 60 Minutes, underscoring its growing relevance in modern defense and broader adoption. LOCUST was also successfully demonstrated aboard the U.S. Navy’s USS George H.W. Bush. The system was also validated in joint testing with JIATF-401 at White Sands Missile Range, a demonstration that informed Department of War and Federal Aviation Administration coordination on the safe use of lasers in domestic airspace. The latest evolution, LOCUST X3, introduces enhanced power, modularity, and AV_Halo™ AI-driven targeting and serves as a key effector within AV’s Halo_Shield™ architecture.

Ultragenyx oznámila, že studie fáze 3 Aspire s apazunersenem u Angelmanova syndromu nesplnila primární ani klíčový sekundární cíl. Bezpečnostní profil byl v souladu s fází 1/2.
Phase 3 Aspire did not achieve the primary endpoint of change from Baseline in Bayley-4 cognitive raw score nor the key secondary endpoint of net response in Multidomain Responder Index (MDRI)
NOVATO, Calif., Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: RARE) today announced results from the Phase 3 Aspire study for apazunersen (GTX-102) in Angelman syndrome. The study did not achieve the primary endpoint of change from Baseline in Bayley-4 cognitive raw score nor the key secondary endpoint of net response in Multidomain Responder Index (MDRI). The safety profile observed in Aspire was consistent with Phase 1/2.
“Based on everything we observed in the robust Phase 1/2 clinical development program and long-term extension study, we are disappointed by the Aspire result,” said Emil Kakkis, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and president of Ultragenyx. “Even more, we are disappointed for the global patient community who has invested so much in early-stage research, working to bring a first-ever treatment to their children.”
In Aspire, the randomized groups were comparable at baseline and consistent with the patients studied in Phase 2. There were no differences between the treated and control groups that could support efficacy in the Bayley Cognition raw scores nor in the MDRI when looking at net response or mean changes of the individual five endpoints included in the MDRI.
The Company will evaluate the apazunersen program in light of this outcome and make a decision on its disposition. The Company will also assess its planned operations to define and implement significant expense reductions, while supporting its growing commercial business.
Dr. Kakkis continued: “We will maintain focus on our growing commercial business, which continues to create meaningful value, including new sources of revenue from the recent approval of GENGLYCOS for glycogen storage disease type Ia, the potential approval of UX111 for Sanfillipo syndrome, and the expansion of existing products to new territories. This strong commercial foundation will support our pipeline, while continuing toward profitability in 2027.”
About apazunersen (GTX-102)
Apazunersen (GTX-102) is an investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy delivered via intrathecal administration and designed to target and inhibit expression of the UBE3A-AS to prevent silencing of the paternally inherited allele of the UBE3A gene and reactivate expression of the deficient protein. Apazunersen has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Orphan Drug Designation, Rare Pediatric Disease Designation, and Fast Track Designation from the FDA and Orphan Designation and PRIME designation from the EMA.
About Angelman Syndrome
Angelman syndrome is a rare, neurogenetic disorder caused by loss-of-function of the maternally inherited allele of the UBE3A gene. The maternal-specific inheritance pattern of Angelman syndrome is due to genomic imprinting of UBE3A in neurons of the central nervous system (CNS), a naturally occurring phenomenon in which the maternal UBE3A allele is expressed and the paternal UBE3A is not. Silencing of the paternal UBE3A allele is regulated by the UBE3A-AS, the intended target of apazunersen. In almost all cases of Angelman syndrome, the maternal UBE3A allele is either missing or mutated, resulting in limited to no protein expression. This condition is generally not inherited but instead occurs spontaneously. It is estimated to affect approximately 60,000 people in commercially accessible geographies.
Angelman syndrome is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that causes cognitive impairment, motor impairment, balance issues and debilitating seizures. Some individuals with Angelman syndrome are unable to walk and most do not speak. Anxiety and disturbed sleep can be serious challenges in individuals with Angelman syndrome. Although individuals with Angelman syndrome have a normal lifespan, they require continuous care and are unable to live independently. Angelman syndrome is not a degenerative disorder, but the loss of the UBE3A protein expression in neurons results in abnormal communications between neurons. Angelman syndrome is often misdiagnosed as autism or cerebral palsy. There are no currently approved therapies for Angelman syndrome; however, several symptoms of this disorder can be reversed in adult animal models of Angelman syndrome, suggesting that improvement of symptoms can potentially be achieved at any age.

Jana Partners a Travis Kelce tlačili na změny v Six Flags, ale akcie jsou od oznámení podílu 21. října 2025 níže o 30,3 %. Firma mezitím prodala sedm nemovitostí za 331 milionů USD.
Jana Partners teamed up with NFL superstar Travis Kelce and other investors to take a stake in theme park operator Six Flags Entertainment Corp (NYSE:FUN). That stake is worth significantly less than it was when the news broke, leaving investors to wonder whether this will be a fumble rather than a successful activist battle.
Jana’s Six Flags StakeJana took an initial stake in Six Flags Entertainment of 4,049,940 shares in the third quarter of 2025. That stake was worth an estimated $117.6 million at the end of the third quarter 2025, out of a total of $200 million invested in the company by the announced group.
Jana, an activist investor, and its partners have pushed for changes at the company.
Six Flags stock had fallen significantly since the merger of the theme park company with its peer, Cedar Fair, in 2024.
Jana and others acquired an estimated 9% stake in the company to push for changes with the board of directors, to push the chairman to leave the company, change financial guidance, and consider a sale of the company or individual assets.
Six Flags separately named Kelce a brand ambassador in March, a 2026 partnership covering social content and the use of his name, image and likeness in broadcast, streaming and in-park marketing.
Read Next
Success or Failure?The success or failure of the stake in Six Flags is still too early to tell, as it has been just around a year since the investment stake was announced on Oct. 21, 2025.
Jana was able to get the Six Flags chairman replaced in March 2026. The hedge fund also announced it would apply full pressure on the company to consider a sale. The company has not been sold, but Six Flags sold seven properties for $331 million in March 2026.
Six months later, there are no bidders for Six Flags, and the stock has fallen to near five-year lows, previously set in November 2025.
A look at the one-year chart shows an uptick after the investment stake was announced, followed by a decline to multi-year lows. The stock then traded higher throughout the summer months of 2026, only to fall in recent months.
Six Flags reported second-quarter results last month and missed analyst estimates on both revenue and earnings per share. Attendance fell 7% to 13.1 million visits, though the decline reflected the divestiture of seven non-core parks, one park closure and fewer operating days. On a same-park basis, attendance rose 4%.
The company’s third quarter results, which will include the months of July, August and September, could be key in showing if attendance has improved and if financials are also improving after the asset sales and activist investor push.
Ultimately, Jana Partners will be judged on how the stock has performed, and so far, that is a major miss. Six Flags stock is down 30.3% from the opening price on Oct. 21, 2025, before the stake was announced.
Jana’s stake in Six Flags (4,116,099 shares) was valued at $87.7 million at the end of the second quarter, down from the $117.6 million initial value reported in the third quarter 2025, and that’s even after the company added to its initial stake.
MP Materials v srpnu vzrostla o 32,3 % po silných výsledcích za 2. čtvrtletí a rostoucím zájmu o domácí dodávky vzácných zemin. Produkce NdPr stoupla meziročně o 41 % na 840 tun a prodej o 127 % na 1 006 tun.
Shares in rare-earth materials and magnets company MP Materials (MP +1.79%) rose by 32.3% in August, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The move comes in response to a positive second-quarter earnings report released early in the month and improving sentiment regarding the geostrategic importance of companies that can provide a domestic source of critical rare-earth materials.
Rare-earth companies found favor in August A quick look at the stock's performance compared to its peer, USA Rare Earth (USAR +3.42%), reveals that they both outperformed last month. One reason comes down to a series of tit-for-tat trade actions that took place during the month. While tariffs on polysilicon and pecans are unlikely to move markets, they represent a soft escalation ahead of a summit between Presidents Xi and Trump in late September.
Such developments underline the strategic importance of the support the U.S government is giving MP Materials as it executes its mine-to-magnet business plan that will provide non-China sourced and domestically produced rare-earth magnets,
MP data by YCharts
MP Materials is quietly executing its business plan As previously discussed, buying stock in MP Materials implies a belief in the company's ability to execute its plan to ramp magnet production, build out a major new production facility, "10X," and overcome any potential regulatory and environmental hurdles at Mountain Pass (a rare-earth mine operated by MP Materials).

While the second quarter earnings didn't provide any definitive answers to those questions, they did demonstrate solid progress:
Neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) products production volume increased by 41% year-over-year to 840 tonnes, with sales volume increasing 127% to 1,006 metric tonnes. $17.6 million in price protection agreement income illustrates the value in the 10-year price floor commitment put in place with MP Materials' public-private partnership with the Department of Defense last year. Management confirmed that construction activity on 10X had already begun. MP Materials' existing facility, Independence in Fort Worth, Texas, is "fully sold out between GM and Apple," according to CEO Jim Litinsky on the earnings call. A significant reduction in adjusted net loss to $2.1 million from an adjusted loss of $21.4 million in the same quarter of 2025. All told, MP Materials' second quarter indicates a company executing on its objectives while benefiting from ongoing government support that derisks its business plan.

Proofpoint, vlastněná společností Thoma Bravo, jedná o převzetí kyberbezpečnostní firmy Varonis. Akcie Varonis po zprávě uzavřely o více než 10 % výše.
Thoma Bravo-owned Proofpoint is in discussions to acquire cybersecurity firm Varonis Systems (VRNS.O), a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.
Shares of Varonis, which has a market value of about $5 billion, closed up over 10%.
Private equity firm Thoma Bravo declined a request for comment, while Proofpoint and Varonis did not immediately respond.
Miami-based Varonis offers cybersecurity services, including data classification on cloud storage systems and employee behavior tracking, employing over 2,400 people across 14 global offices.
Its shares jumped about 30% following media reports in June that the firm was weighing a sale after fielding takeover interest from private equity firms.
Thoma Bravo in 2021 agreed to acquire Proofpoint, which sells software that helps companies guard against cyberattacks, valuing the firm at about $12.3 billion in the take-private deal.
A takeover of Varonis would bring two complementary data security businesses together, allowing Proofpoint to strengthen its offerings around protecting sensitive corporate information and managing access to it.
Deals in the cybersecurity space have slowed of late, in parallel with other software firms, as the industry is among those perceived as vulnerable to a shakeout by rapid advances in AI technology.
Key Takeaways Cytokinetics' aficamten improved cardiac structure and diastolic function in non-obstructive HCM.Aficamten outperformed metoprolol across pre-trial treatment groups in patients with obstructive HCM.Cytokinetics plans an nHCM filing in Q4 2026, potentially expanding aficamten's addressable market. Cytokinetics, Incorporated (CYTK - Free Report) recently announced additional results from ACACIA-HCM (Assessment Comparing Aficamten to Placebo on Cardiac Endpoints in Adults with Non-Obstructive HCM) and MAPLE-HCM (Metoprolol vs Aficamten in Patients with LVOT Obstruction on Exercise Capacity in HCM) studies.
The results were presented in a Late Breaking Clinical Session at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2026 in Munich, Germany.
Additional analyses of ACACIA-HCM and MAPLE-HCM elaborate on the primary results from each study and expand the evidence base supporting the potential use of aficamten across the spectrum of HCM.
We note that CYTK obtained FDA approval of aficamten under the brand name Myqorzo in December 2025 for the treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM).
Strong initial uptake of the drug, along with Myqorzo’s expanding international presence, positions it as a meaningful commercial opportunity in the oHCM market.
CYTK is also looking to expand Myqorzo’s label.
More on CYTK’s ACACIA-HCM StudyACACIA-HCM was a phase III, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the effect of aficamten compared to placebo in patients with symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM).
Additional results from ACACIA-HCM demonstrate improvements in cardiac structure and diastolic function in patients with nHCM.
CYTK had earlier reported that ACACIA-HCM met both primary endpoints in symptomatic nHCM, showing statistically significant improvements in KCCQ Clinical Summary Score and maximal exercise performance (pVO2) versus placebo.
The additional ACACIA-HCM results suggest that aficamten’s benefits in nHCM may extend beyond improving exercise capacity and symptoms to reducing wall thickness and improving diastolic function. These findings provide further insight into how aficamten may benefit patients and highlight its potential as an important treatment option for nHCM, where no approved therapies currently exist.
Cytokinetics plans to submit a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for aficamten in this indication in the fourth quarter of 2026. A potential approval in nHCM will expand the addressable market.
More on CYTK’s MAPLE-HCM Study MAPLE-HCM was a phase III, multi-center, randomized, double-blind active-comparator clinical trial of aficamten compared to metoprolol in patients with symptomatic oHCM.
As previously reported, the primary results of MAPLE-HCM demonstrated superiority of aficamten to metoprolol on pVO2. This post-hoc analysis evaluated the effects of aficamten and metoprolol on the primary and key secondary endpoints based on pre-trial medical therapy.
The new analysis of MAPLE-HCM showed that aficamten outperformed metoprolol across pre-trial treatment groups in patients with oHCM.
The FDA had earlier accepted CYTK’s sNDA for MAPLE-HCM, a phase III study of aficamten as monotherapy compared with metoprolol as monotherapy in patients with oHCM. The regulatory body assigned a target action date of Nov. 14, 2026.
Competition for CYTK’s MyqorzoMyqorzo operates within an evolving treatment landscape for oHCM. Its primary branded competitor is Camzyos, a cardiac myosin inhibitor marketed by Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY - Free Report) . In addition to this direct competition, Myqorzo faces established generic therapies, namely beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, which continue to serve as the first-line standard of care.
BMY obtained FDA approval for Camzyos in 2022 for the treatment of adults with symptomatic New York Heart Association class II-III obstructive HCM to improve functional capacity and symptoms.
The drug continues to gain traction in the targeted market, supported by growing demand and increased adoption among eligible patients.
The FDA accepted BMY’s supplemental new drug application seeking approval of Camzyos for the treatment of adolescents aged 12 to under 18 years with symptomatic oHCM.
A potential competitor for Cytokinetics is Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc. (EWTX - Free Report) , which is advancing a cardiovascular pipeline targeting HCM, heart failure, and other cardiovascular and cardiometabolic conditions.
EWTX’s lead candidate, EDG-7500, is a novel, oral, selective cardiac sarcomere modulator currently being studied in a multipart phase II study in patients with oHCM and nHCM, with a phase III program targeted to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2026.
EWTX’s pipeline also includes EDG-15400 for heart failure. The company expects to initiate a phase II study on EDG-15400 in participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in the second half of 2026.
CYTK’s Price Movement, Valuation and EstimatesCytokinetics’ shares have gained 12.4% year to date compared with the industry’s 8.7% growth.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 loss per share has narrowed to $6 from $6.26 over the past 60 days and the same for 2027 loss has narrowed to $4.54 from $4.59 over the same period.
PACB snížil výhled výnosů na rok 2026 na 155–165 mil. USD kvůli slabší poptávce po přístrojích a pomalejšímu nástupu SPRQ-Nx. Bod zvratu v cash flow posunul na rok 2028 místo do konce roku 2027.
Key Takeaways PacBio cut 2026 revenue guidance to $155-$165M as weaker instrument demand pressured near-term growth.PACB said clinical consumable shipments rose 67%, while SPRQ-Nx adoption remains slowed by validation work.PacBio pushed cash-flow breakeven to 2028 and lowered its 2026 non-GAAP gross-margin outlook to 35%-37%. Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (PACB - Free Report) , or PacBio, cut its 2026 revenue outlook as weaker instrument demand and a slower SPRQ-Nx transition offset improving clinical activity. The revision raises the bar for clinical adoption to show that current softness is transitional rather than structural.
Hospitals and testing laboratories are moving toward routine production, but gross-margin recovery is taking longer and cash-flow breakeven has moved to 2028. That leaves execution on consumables utilization and margins as the key near-term test.
PACB’s Revenue Cut Resets Near-Term ExpectationsPacBio lowered 2026 revenue guidance to $155-$165 million from $165-$175 million. The new range implies a 3% decline to 3% growth year over year, with consumables expected to remain the main growth driver.
Second-quarter revenues fell 2% to $39 million and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.2%. Instrument revenues declined 9.9% to $12.8 million, reflecting lower average selling prices and fewer Vega shipments.

PacBio’s SPRQ-Nx Transition Delays Consumables UpsideSPRQ-Nx lowers the U.S. list price of a 20x HiFi human genome to $345, about 30% below the prior chemistry, and allows SMRT Cells to be reused up to three times. More than one-third of the installed base had enabled the software by June-end.
Near-term utilization is still constrained by customers validating multi-use workflows and working through existing inventory. Management expects the transition to continue through the third quarter before consumables begin scaling more meaningfully toward year-end.
PACB’s Clinical Demand Offers an OffsetClinical consumable shipments increased 67% in the second quarter, while Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) revenues rose 52% to $14.4 million. PacBio also shipped 20 Revio systems, up from 15 a year earlier, with most placements going to new customers.
The broader sequencing market remains competitive. Illumina, Inc. (ILMN - Free Report) said clinical demand helped drive adoption of its NovaSeq X platform in the second quarter. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (TMO - Free Report) continues to expand precision-medicine and multiomics capabilities, underscoring the range of alternatives available to research and clinical customers.
PacBio’s Margin Outlook Shows the Cost of TransitionPacBio reduced its 2026 non-GAAP gross-margin outlook to 35%-37%. The revision reflects about $2.5 million of Vega manufacturing transition costs, elevated compute and memory expenses, a slower SPRQ-Nx adoption curve and lower-priced strategic Revio placements.
Second-quarter non-GAAP gross margin was 36%, down from 38% a year earlier. SPRQ-Nx can improve platform economics over time, but the company first needs higher utilization and a smoother manufacturing transition to support margin recovery.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
PACB’s 2028 Breakeven Shift Raises Execution StakesPacBio now expects cash-flow breakeven in 2028 instead of by the end of 2027. It expects to finish 2026 with approximately $175-$185 million in cash, while non-GAAP operating expenses are projected to be $215-$220 million.
Cost actions should reduce cash consumption. PacBio expects its restructuring to cut 2027 compensation-related expenses by about $15-$20 million, with another $15-$20 million of annual savings as high-throughput platform development spending declines.
PACB’s Style Scores Keep the Outlook GuardedThe central question is whether rising clinical use and SPRQ-Nx adoption can offset weak research funding, softer instrument economics and delayed margin recovery. Until those trends become more visible in recurring consumables growth, execution remains the key test.
PACB currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Its Value Score of F and VGM Score of F provide limited support, while the Growth Score of D is also weak. The Momentum Score of C is comparatively better, but the combined Rank and Style Score profile keeps the near-term outlook cautious.

Hims & Hers ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšil tržby téměř o 40 % na více než 753 milionů USD, tažený růstem váhových programů a mezinárodní expanzí. Mezinárodní tržby vyskočily více než 17násobně na 131 milionů USD.
Key Takeaways Hims & Hers is accelerating growth through weight loss, with U.S. revenues up 16% in the second quarter.International revenues surged more than 17-fold, with management targeting at least $600 million in 2026.AI is boosting engagement and cutting nonclinical support tasks by nearly 50%, aiding retention and costs. Hims & Hers Health (HIMS - Free Report) has entered the second half of 2026 with strong momentum from weight-loss offerings, international expansion and AI-enabled care. However, gross-margin pressure from changing business mix, regulatory uncertainty surrounding the FTC and peptide therapies, and the need to navigate evolving weight-loss opportunities could temper its growth outlook.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have gained 3.4% in the past three months compared with the industry's 41.2% growth and the S&P 500 Index’s 1.1% increase.
Hims & Hers, with a market capitalization of $6.9 billion, is a consumer-centric health and wellness platform.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
HIMS’ bottom line is estimated to improve 19.5% over the next five years. Its earnings missed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and beat once, delivering a negative average surprise of 94.05%.
What's Driving HIMS’ Performance?Weight-Loss Expansion Is Reaccelerating Domestic Growth: Hims & Hers' expanded weight-loss product line is becoming a major catalyst for domestic growth. The second-quarter revenues increased nearly 40% year over year to more than $753 million, while U.S. revenues accelerated 16% to $622 million. Management attributed much of the improvement to the March decision to broaden branded weight-loss offerings, which helped offset revenue-recognition headwinds from moving branded products to a monthly cadence.
The category is also strategically valuable because it expands cross-selling into areas such as low testosterone and cardiovascular health. With nearly 3 million subscribers and stronger retention among newer cohorts, weight loss could support sustained growth and greater lifetime value.
International Expansion Is Rapidly Increasing Addressable Market: Hims & Hers is gaining substantial scale globally, with international revenues surging more than 17-fold year over year to $131 million in the second quarter. The Eucalyptus acquisition contributed approximately $40 million, while the existing international business grew 13% sequentially on an organic basis.
The U.K., Australia and Germany have each surpassed $100 million in annualized revenues, with Canada nearing the threshold. Management expects international revenues to reach at least $600 million in 2026, while weight-loss adoption remains meaningfully below U.S. levels. This provides considerable runway for category expansion, although management is prioritizing scale before maximizing profitability.
AI-Enabled Care Could Improve Retention and Lower Service Costs: Hims & Hers is beginning to demonstrate tangible operating benefits from integrating AI into its care model. Among Hers’ weight-loss customers using the new AI-native experience, engagement increased sharply, with users sending three times as many messages, while AI handled approximately 80% of questions. AI reduced nonclinical support tasks by nearly 50%, creating an opportunity to lower the cost of serving subscribers.
Management also reported early evidence of stronger engagement and lower cancellation rates among participating cohorts. If these improvements scale across the broader platform, HIMS could simultaneously improve customer retention, personalize care and generate operating leverage, thereby strengthening its long-term unit economics.
Pharmaceutical Partnerships Strengthen the Weight-Loss Ecosystem: Hims & Hers' relationship with Novo Nordisk provides an important strategic advantage as branded weight-loss treatments become more accessible. Management highlighted strong collaboration around the launch of the Wegovy pill, noting that HIMS is among the largest platforms helping consumers access the therapy.
Internationally, Eucalyptus helped generate tens of thousands of prospective patients for Wegovy's launch in certain markets. The partnership also creates opportunities to exchange insights around adherence, side effects and dosing, potentially strengthening HIMS' ability to support patients throughout their treatment journey. Relationships with pharmaceutical innovators could position HIMS as an important digital distribution and patient-access channel as additional therapies reach the market.
What’s Weighing on HIMS Stock?Gross Margin Lowers as the Business Mix Changes: Hims & Hers' rapid expansion into branded weight loss and international markets is coming with a meaningful profitability trade-off. Adjusted gross margin fell approximately six percentage points sequentially to 64% in the second quarter, reflecting the increasing contribution of lower-margin branded weight-loss products and international revenues.
Management explicitly expects gross margins to remain below historical levels as these categories expand. Although operating leverage helped adjusted EBITDA margin improve to 8%, the structural mix shift means revenue growth may not translate proportionately into gross-profit growth. Investors therefore need to evaluate HIMS on the basis of future customer lifetime value and scale economics rather than relying on historical margin profiles.
Working-Capital Requirements Are Straining Cash Generation: The rapid expansion of branded weight-loss offerings is creating greater working-capital requirements, highlighting a financial risk associated with HIMS' new business model. Operating cash flow was negative $36 million in the second quarter, while free cash flow was negative $68 million, as short-dated receivables and inventory requirements increased.
Although management expects free cash flow to recover in the second half and has established a $400 million receivables facility, the recent transition underscores that accelerating revenue growth does not necessarily result in proportional cash generation. Continued scaling of branded therapies could require additional liquidity and working-capital investment, particularly if payment cycles lengthen or inventory requirements rise faster than expected.
Peptide Opportunity Remains Dependent on FDA Decisions: Hims & Hers has invested significantly in building infrastructure around peptide therapies, but commercialization remains contingent on FDA rulemaking. Management was encouraged by the fact that six of seven peptides advanced successfully through the FDA's PCAC process and believes the company can move quickly if they are placed on the appropriate Category 1 list.
However, the company is explicitly waiting for full and final FDA rulemaking before bringing these therapies to market. This creates uncertainty around timing, permissible offerings and potential revenue contribution. HIMS can continue expanding other wellness products in the interim, but the broader peptide opportunity remains regulatory-dependent and should not be treated as a near-term guaranteed growth driver.
Estimate TrendThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 revenues is pegged at $3.22 billion, implying growth of 37.2% from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus mark for loss per share is pinned at 60 cents, which implies a deterioration of 213.2% from the previous year’s recorded level.
In the past 30 days, HIMS’ loss per share estimate for 2026 has increased 185.7%.
Stocks to ConsiderSome better-ranked stocks from the broader medical space are Globus Medical (GMED - Free Report) , Veracyte (VCYT - Free Report) andWest Pharmaceutical (WST - Free Report) .
Globus Medical, currently flaunting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), reported a second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.34, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 19.6%. Revenues of $789.6 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.4%. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
GMED has an estimated long-term earnings growth rate of 12.4%. The company’s earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 27.9%.
Veracyte, currently carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reported a second-quarter 2026 adjusted EPS of 54 cents, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 25.6%. Revenues of $150.3 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.1%.
VCYT has an estimated earnings growth rate of 8.4% for 2026. The company’s earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 41.8%.
West Pharmaceutical, carrying a Zacks Rank #2 at present, reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted EPS of $2.37, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13.9%. Revenues of $872.3 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.2%.
WST has an estimated long-term earnings growth rate of 16%. WST’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 17.4%.
Hims & Hers ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby o 38,2 % na 753,2 mil. USD a zvedla výhled tržeb na rok 2026 na 3,1 až 3,3 mld. USD. Zároveň vykázala čistou ztrátu 86,3 mil. USD.
Key Takeaways HIMS Q2 revenue rose 38.2% to $753.2M as subscribers and spending per subscriber increased.Hims & Hers raised 2026 revenue guidance to $3.1B-$3.3B, implying growth of 32%-41%.HIMS gross margin fell to 63.8% as branded weight loss products and expansion pressured profitability. Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (HIMS - Free Report) delivered second-quarter 2026 revenue of $753.2 million, up 38.2% year over year and 9.1% above the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Subscriber growth and higher spending per subscriber kept the top line moving higher.
Management also raised its 2026 revenue outlook, but the quarter reflected the cost of that expansion. Gross margin fell sharply, operating expenses climbed and HIMS posted a net loss of $86.3 million.
HIMS Q2 Sales Beat as Subscribers Keep GrowingSubscribers reached about 2.9 million in the second quarter, up 18.5% year over year. Monthly online revenue per average subscriber increased 21.1% to $92, reflecting a richer product mix and greater uptake of weight loss offerings.
The combination matters because HIMS is adding customers while monetizing each average subscriber at a higher rate. U.S. revenues rose 15.7% to $621.8 million, while rest-of-world revenues reached $131.4 million, broadening the sources of growth.
Hims & Hers Raises Its 2026 Revenue OutlookHims & Hers now expects 2026 revenues of $3.1 billion to $3.3 billion, implying growth of 32% to 41%. That is above its prior outlook of $2.8 billion to $3 billion, which had called for 19% to 28% growth.
For the third quarter, management projects revenues of $880 million to $900 million, or roughly 47% to 50% year-over-year growth. The higher ranges show confidence that subscriber expansion, specialty penetration and international scale can keep revenue growth elevated.
HIMS Margins Contract as Investment AcceleratesThe revenue strength came with weaker profitability. Gross margin contracted 1,256 basis points to 63.8%, while operating expenses rose 48.4% to $577.9 million. HIMS recorded a $97.2 million operating loss versus a $26.7 million operating profit a year earlier.
Branded weight loss products and international expansion are carrying lower margins, while acquisitions and technology investments add costs as the platform scales. Adjusted EBITDA was $60.3 million, or an 8% margin, underscoring the gap between rapid revenue growth and near-term earnings leverage.
The pressure on profitability led to widening of HIMS’ loss estimates. In the past 30 days, loss per share estimate for 2026 moved south from 21 cents to 60 cents, over the past 30 days.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Hims & Hers Weight Loss Mix Shapes the Trade-OffWeight loss is helping lift revenue per subscriber, but the category changes the economics of growth. HIMS has shifted toward a broader assortment of branded GLP-1 therapies, which can increase revenue while reducing gross margin and adding pricing, fulfillment and receivables complexity.
Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO - Free Report) , maker of Wegovy, and Eli Lilly and Company (LLY - Free Report) , maker of Zepbound, illustrate the pharmaceutical scale behind branded obesity therapies. For HIMS, the trade-off is whether retention, cross-sell and operating efficiencies can offset the lower-margin mix over time.
HIMS Signals Temper the Guidance UpsideThe raised revenue outlook is meaningful, but the margin decline and operating loss keep execution at the center of the investment case. HIMS still needs to show that faster growth can translate into more durable earnings and cash-flow economics as newer products and markets mature.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), with a Value Score of D, Growth Score of C, Momentum Score of D and VGM Score of D. A Hold rank points to a more balanced near-term setup, while the mostly D Style Scores indicate less favorable value, momentum and combined style characteristics. The Growth Score of C is middling rather than a clear positive signal. Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly currently carry a Zacks Rank of 3.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP financial measures, this press release includes non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate our business performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, free cash flow and free cash flow margin, and their respective definitions are presented below.
There are limitations to the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that our non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and income that may not be indicative of our ongoing core operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.
For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented for historical periods to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information" included at the end of this press release. We encourage you to review the reconciliation in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items and may include other expenses, costs and non-recurring items.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin
We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We define non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Non-GAAP Loss from Operations and Non-GAAP Operating Margin
We define non-GAAP loss from operations as GAAP loss from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP loss from operations as a percentage of revenue.
Non-GAAP Net Loss
We define non-GAAP net loss as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, gain or loss on fair value changes in convertible notes, and non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes.
Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share
We define non-GAAP net loss per share as GAAP net loss per share adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, gain or loss on fair value changes in convertible notes, and non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes.
Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchase of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. Free cash flow margin is determined by dividing free cash flow by revenue. We believe free cash flow and free cash flow margin serve as valuable indicators of liquidity, as they provide our management, board of directors, and investors with insight into our ability to generate cash from our operations, strategic initiatives, and strengthening our balance sheet.
Annual Recurring Revenue
We define Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) as the annualized value of our cloud subscription contracts that are active as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms. Provided that we are actively negotiating a renewal or new agreement with a customer after the expiration of a contract, we continue to include that contract's annualized value in ARR until the customer notifies us of their decision not to renew. ARR excludes non-recurring components of revenue such as professional services, training, sales of hardware, and other non-recurring revenue.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
“Our fourth quarter results reflect the continued execution of our WIN, EXECUTE, DELIVER strategy. The combination of strong project execution, a more efficient cost structure, and a disciplined focus on the initiatives that matter most resulted in our second consecutive quarter of profitable growth," stated Shawn P. Payne, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Revenue grew 13% year over year as our teams converted backlog into higher volumes, led by specialty storage activity in our Storage and Terminal Solutions segment and continued strong execution in Utility and Power Infrastructure. At the same time, the leaner organizational structure we have built over the past 18 months has meaningfully reduced our fixed overhead costs, while enabling us to support a higher base of revenue with improved efficiency. We enter fiscal 2027 with a debt-free balance sheet and substantial liquidity to support our growth objectives in this next chapter.
“Matrix is focused on high-value opportunities, prioritizing backlog growth across our targeted end-markets,” continued Payne. “We secured nearly $170 million of project awards in the fourth quarter, including a major mining construction project in the western United States. This project, which supported a book-to-bill ratio of 3.2x in our Process and Industrial Facilities during the fourth quarter, expands our position in the non-ferrous mining and critical minerals market, broadens the range of end markets served by our engineering and construction capabilities, and represents an important new client relationship that we expect to expand over time.
"Fiscal 2026 was a pivotal year for Matrix," concluded Payne. "Our opportunity pipeline has grown to over $7 billion, reflecting generational levels of investment underway across the markets we serve, including LNG and NGL infrastructure, power generation, electric grid modernization, data centers, and mining and minerals production. A number of larger, multi-year opportunities within that pipeline have advanced meaningfully, and we anticipate a higher level of award activity as those targets reach final investment decision. Looking ahead, we are focused on driving profitable growth, executing projects safely, on time and on budget, and deploying capital with discipline as we seek to drive long-term value creation for our clients and shareholders.”
FISCAL 2026 FOURTH QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Fiscal 2026 fourth quarter revenue was $244.5 million, compared to $216.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in revenue for the quarter was attributable to higher revenue in the Storage and Terminal Solutions segment, partially offset by lower revenue in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment.
Gross profit was $19.5 million, or 8.0% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $8.1 million, or 3.8% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in gross margin was due to higher gross margins in the Storage and Terminal Solutions and Utility and Power Infrastructure segments, partially offset by lower gross margins in the Process and Industrial Facility segment.
SG&A expenses were $16.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in SG&A expenses primarily reflects the reduction of costs associated with the Company's organizational realignment initiatives over the last 12 months partially offset by variable compensation tied to a return to profitable performance.
During the quarter, the Company incurred $3.4 million of restructuring costs and other expenses, which included costs associated with the previously announced leadership transitions, as well as costs associated with actions taken in the fourth quarter to reduce our cost structure by reducing our workforce.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company had net income of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $11.3 million, or $(0.40) per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $4.6 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $7.8 million, or $(0.28) per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $6.3 million compared to a loss of $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
FISCAL 2026 FOURTH QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS
Storage and Terminal Solutions segment revenue increased 43% to $137.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $96.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, due to higher specialty storage activity. Gross margin was 6.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to (1.1)% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company lowered its recovery expectations on a legacy project completed in fiscal 2021 that was in arbitration which resulted in a $6.4 million decrease to both revenue and gross margin. The matter was fully resolved in fiscal 2026.
Utility and Power Infrastructure segment revenue was $73.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, which was consistent with the prior year period. Gross margin was 12.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 9.1% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 3.7% due to strong project execution.
Process and Industrial Facilities segment revenue decreased to $33.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $47.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower revenue volumes for refinery work, partially offset by an increase in revenue for a mining project. Gross margin was 2.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 5.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of 3.0%, primarily due to a mix of work, as well as an increase in under-recovery of overhead costs as a result of lower revenue.
BACKLOG
Total backlog was $953.2 million as of June 30, 2026. Project awards totaled $169.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.7x for the quarter. Project awards during the fourth quarter for fiscal 2026 were driven primarily by activity in the Process and Industrial Facilities segment, including a major mining construction project in the western United States.
The table below summarizes awards, book-to-bill ratios and backlog by segment for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2026 (amounts are in thousands, except for book-to-bill ratios):

Backlog
Matrix defines backlog as the total dollar amount of revenue that the Company expects to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to the Company through a signed contract, limited notice to proceed or other type of assurance that the Company considers firm. The following arrangements are considered firm:
fixed-price awards;minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; andcertain time and material arrangements in which the estimated value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts. For long-term maintenance contracts with no minimum commitments and other established customer agreements, the Company includes only the amounts that it expects to recognize as revenue over the next 12 months. For arrangements in which it has received a limited notice to proceed, the Company includes the entire scope of work in its backlog if it concludes that the likelihood of the full project proceeding has a high probability. For all other arrangements, Matrix calculates backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
Matrix has presented Adjusted net income (loss), which the Company defines as Net income (loss) before Restructuring costs and other expenses, and the tax impact of this adjustment, because the Company believes it better depicts its core operating results. The Company believes that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net income (loss)” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted net income (loss). Since Adjusted net income (loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, Net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss), as Matrix calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund the Company's cash needs. As Adjusted net income (loss) excludes certain financial information compared with Net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. The Company's non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted net income (loss), has certain material limitations as follows:
It does not include restructuring costs and other expenses. Restructuring costs represent material costs that were incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses. Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations. A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted net income (loss) follows:

Due to the existence of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets and net operating losses, there was no tax impact of any of the adjustments in any period presented. Adjusted EBITDA
Matrix has presented Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net loss before gain on sale of assets, stock-based compensation, interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, because it is used by the financial community as a method of measuring the Company's performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. Matrix believes that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net loss” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund the Company's cash needs. As Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. Our non-GAAP performance measure, Adjusted EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:
It does not include interest expense. Because the Company may borrow money to finance our operations and to acquire businesses, has paid commitment fees to maintain the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility, and has incurred fees to issue letters of credit under the senior secured revolving credit facility, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of the Company's costs and has assisted the Company in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.It does not include interest income. Because the Company has cash invested in certain investment accounts and has earned interest income on these investments, any measure that excludes interest income has material limitations.It does not include income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of the Company's operations, any measure that excludes income taxes has material limitations.It does not include depreciation or amortization expense. Because Matrix uses capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of the Company's cost structure. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.It does not include restructuring costs. Restructuring costs represent material costs that were incurred and are oftentimes cash expenses. Therefore, any measure that excludes restructuring costs has material limitations.It does not include equity-settled stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation represents material amounts of equity that are awarded to the Company's employees and directors for services rendered. While the expense is non-cash, the Company has historically released vested shares out of treasury stock, which has been replenished by using cash to periodically repurchase our stock. Therefore, any measure that excludes stock-based compensation has material limitations. A reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA follows:

Správní rada Delivery Hero podpořila Uberovu nabídku na převzetí za 15 miliard USD a doporučila akcionářům dohodu schválit. Prosus souhlasil s prodejem svého 17% podílu.
Image Credits:John MACDOUGALL / AFP / Getty Images Delivery Hero’s board has signed off on Uber’s $15 billion takeover offer and recommended shareholders approve the deal, which would create one of the largest on-demand food delivery platforms in the world.
After reviewing the offer, Delivery Hero’s supervisory and management boards said it was in the best interests of the company, its shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders. The boards also deemed that the price was “fair and adequate” and said the deal had the “potential to accelerate product innovation.”
The deal, if approved, would double Uber’s global footprint and make its delivery platform one of the largest in the world outside of China. It could also put Uber in a better position to compete with DoorDash and Just Eat Takeaway.
Uber, which was already the largest shareholder in Delivery Hero, set a minimum acceptance threshold of 50%, plus one share of Delivery Hero’s outstanding share capital.
Prosus, another major shareholder, has agreed to sell its 17% stake in Delivery Hero as well, according to the announcement. Delivery Hero previously agreed to sell its businesses in 14 markets where Uber Eats already operates to New York-based investment firm SSW Partners for $1.6 billion.
The tie-up is the latest example of consolidation in the on-demand delivery industry. In the past 18 months, Uber agreed to acquire Turkey-based Getir for $335 million, Grab said it would buy Delivery Hero’s Foodpanda business in Taiwan for $600 million in cash, and DoorDash said it would pay $3.87 billion for the U.K.’s Deliveroo.
Federální soudce v Arkansasu odmítl dočasně zablokovat další zveřejňování informací o důvěrných dokumentech týkajících se zapojení energetické společnosti do výstavby zařízení, které bude dodávat elektřinu datovému centru Google za 4 miliardy dolarů. Entergy Arkansas chtěla stáhnout i již publikované detaily z článku.
An Arkansas federal judge on Wednesday denied a request by an energy company to temporarily block the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette from publishing additional details from confidential documents that the newspaper obtained about the company's involvement in building a facility that will supply power to a $4 billion Google data center in that state, a court filing showed.
The company, Entergy Arkansas, also had asked Judge Lee Rudofsky to order that the Democrat-Gazette remove from its website information in an article published on Monday about the documents.
"I think you have a strong case here," Rudofsky told a lawyer for Entergy at a hearing Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Little Rock, according to a report in the El Dorado News Times. "But the First Amendment gives me pause here."
The judge said, "It would take a lot to get me to do a prior restraint," the News Times reported.
The Freedom of the Press Foundation has noted that "The Supreme Court has made clear time and again that prior restraints" — barring a media outlet from publishing certain stories — "can be justified in only the most extreme circumstances."
Rudofsky, who was nominated to the bench by President Donald Trump, in his order Wednesday denied Entergy's request for a temporary restraining order against the Democrat-Gazette and other defendants. A court filing showed he plans to set a briefing schedule on Entergy's request for a preliminary injunction in the case at a later date.
The Arkansas Times media outlet, which was a defendant in the case, reported that during a hearing Wednesday, Rudofsky said the case involved an issue of "significant public concern."
"Public utility companies' special arrangements with a large data center may very well have repercussions across the state, presumably, or at least potentially, in both very positive and potentially, or presumably, negative ways," the judge said, according to the Times.
He also said that Entergy was a utility that could be considered a monopoly "and the details of its business arrangement, especially with large users of power, for example … Google, are matters that an ordinary Arkansas citizen may very well want to be aware of"
CNBC has requested comment from Entergy about the order.
Lee Wolverton, executive editor of the Democrat-Gazette, in a statement Wednesday, said, "This case is first, foremost and in its entirety about the First Amendment. Our duty as a news organization and the duty of all news organizations is to inform the public as fully as possible about issues of high public interest."
"Any attempt to impede that effort by using the courts to apply prior restraint to any news organization's First Amendment rights represents an attack on the very freedoms that define our country," Wolverton said. "That must not stand."
Entergy said in a court filing Tuesday that the documents, which contained "trade secrets" and "highly sensitive protected information," were "disclosed in error" by the Arkansas Public Service Commission to a woman, Jessica Kivell, who had requested them under the state's Freedom of Information Act.
Kivell then gave the documents to a reporter for the Democrat-Gazette, which published a story on Monday under the headline "Google to pay Entergy Arkansas $526 million for solar facility to feed West Memphis data center."
The reporter, Sydney Sasser, wrote that the $526 million payment will cover "about one-third of the $1.6 billion price tag of the facility known as Cypress Solar," a 600-megawatt solar field and 350-megawatt battery facility that will "feed the grid from which Google's West Memphis data center will draw massive power."
Sasser noted that the state's Public Service Commission in December approved a special rate contract between Google and Entergy, the details of which "have been mostly kept secret."
"In June, Entergy residential customers began paying an added $5.77 monthly increase to cover three new power generation projects, one of them being Cypress Solar," Sasser wrote.
Entergy Arkansas, in a civil complaint filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Little Rock, asked Rudofsky to issue a temporary restraining order barring the Democrat-Gazette, Sasser, Kivell, and a second newspaper, the Arkansas Times and its editor from further disclosing what it said were the trade secrets disclosed by the Public Service Commission. The Times has reported that neither it nor its editor Byron Tate has the documents in dispute.
Entergy also wanted Rudofsky to order that the Democrat-Gazette and the other defendants remove from their websites any disclosure of information from the documents "that has already occurred."
Tate, in an interview Wednesday with CNBC after Rudofsky ruled against Entergy, said, "I'm grateful that press freedom and the public's right to know won."
Rudofsky, a former assistant general counsel for Walmart, was nominated by Trump in August to the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
In a statement to CNBC before Rudofsky's ruling Wednesday, Entergy said, "Entergy Arkansas takes customer privacy seriously because it's both the right thing to do and is required by law."
"We protect all customer information — whether for a household, a local manufacturer, or a global company — and yesterday's media publication of incomplete confidential details from Google's electricity contract violated laws protecting confidential business information and make it harder to attract new businesses to our state given the uncertainty of properly treating confidential business information as such," the company said.
"Despite the improper release, the article made one fact clear: Google's addition to Arkansas's power grid is a major benefit to all customers," Entergy said. "Google is paying its full cost of service and is fully funding the grid upgrades required for its project through a combination of up-front payments and its monthly bills for service — reducing future bills for existing customers by more than $1.1 billion over the next two decades."
A spokesperson for Google, which is not a party to Entergy's civil action, in a statement, said, "Google is fully committed to covering 100% of the power and infrastructure costs for our West Memphis data center."
"While upfront payments total $526 million, our ongoing monthly rates over the 20-year agreement will completely fund our operational footprint," the spokesperson said. "Entergy's regulatory filings demonstrate that this project will actually lower overall system costs, providing more than $1.1 billion in net benefits to Arkansas residents."
AMD, Cisco a HUMAIN spustily v Saúdské Arábii AI systémy s MI355X pro trénování i inferenci. Od roku 2027 plánují až 250 MW nové AI infrastruktury a do roku 2030 až 1 GW.
Key Takeaways AMD and HUMAIN have launched MI355X-based AI systems in Saudi Arabia for training and inference workloads.AMD, Cisco and HUMAIN plan up to 250 MW of new AI infrastructure from 2027, targeting 1 GW by 2030.AMD expects server revenues to grow more than 70% in 2027 as Helios and MI450 deployments accelerate. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) , Cisco Systems (CSCO - Free Report) and HUMAIN have expanded their artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure collaboration in Saudi Arabia, with AMD Instinct MI355X GPU-based systems now live and serving customers in the Kingdom and overseas. The production infrastructure combines AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and EPYC CPUs with Cisco Silicon One-based networking and 800G optics, enabling HUMAIN to offer GPU-as-a-service for AI training and inference workloads.
The companies are now preparing a significantly larger deployment. AMD, Cisco and HUMAIN plan to deploy up to 250 megawatts (MW) of additional AI infrastructure beginning in 2027. The next phase will use AMD Instinct MI400 Series GPUs, EPYC CPUs and ROCm software alongside Cisco networking and critical infrastructure. Capacity is expected to start coming online in the second half of 2027. The joint venture remains on track to deploy up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of AI infrastructure by 2030, supported by growing demand for sovereign AI capacity. This is expected to boost AMD’s competitive position against NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) and Broadcom (AVGO - Free Report) .
The platform is aimed at governments, enterprises, research institutions, AI developers and model providers that require locally operated infrastructure. AMD is designed to support open models and software while giving customers greater control over data residency, model customization, deployment and governance. This strengthens AMD's presence in the growing sovereign AI market while broadening the geographic reach of its data-center AI portfolio.
The HUMAIN expansion should strengthen AMD’s Data Center business by adding another large-scale deployment for its Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs and ROCm software. AMD’s Data Center revenues surged 107% year over year to $6.7 billion in second-quarter 2026, driven by strong demand for EPYC processors and the ongoing ramp of Instinct GPUs. AMD expects growing Helios and MI450-series deployments to drive significant Data Center AI growth, with acceleration in 2027. The company currently expects server revenues to grow more than 70% in 2027 and total Data Center segment revenues to more than double year over year.
The deal also expands AMD’s exposure to sovereign AI, an area where Instinct adoption was already increasing. AMD noted that Instinct sales more than doubled year over year as adoption broadened across AI labs, cloud providers, AI startups, national laboratories and sovereign AI deployments. The HUMAIN project could strengthen AMD's position as countries invest in domestic AI infrastructure to retain greater control over data, models and computing capacity.
Tough Competition Hurts AMD’s ProspectsNVIDIA remains AMD’s biggest challenge in data center AI, owing to its scale, full-stack platform and entrenched CUDA ecosystem. NVIDIA’s second-quarter fiscal 2027 Data Center revenues reached $89 billion, with hyperscale revenues of $49 billion, and its ACIE business, which includes NeoCloud, enterprise and sovereign customers, reaching $40 billion. NVIDIA also expects roughly 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028 despite remaining supply constrained. This scale gives it substantially greater resources and customer reach as AMD attempts to expand Instinct and Helios deployments.
Broadcom creates a different but increasingly important threat through custom AI accelerators, or XPUs, and networking. Broadcom’s AI semiconductor revenues surged 143% year over year to $10.8 billion in second-quarter fiscal 2026, with bookings exceeding $30 billion. The company expects AI semiconductor revenues of $56 billion in fiscal 2026 and more than $100 billion in fiscal 2027. Broadcom has multi-generation programs with Google, plans additional TPU-based capacity for Anthropic, has a 1.3-GW OpenAI commitment for 2027 and expects to deploy 3 GW of Meta MTIA XPUs through 2028. AVGO’s leadership in Ethernet switching, SerDes, co-packaged optics and interconnect also strengthens its position because these technologies are critical to scaling both XPU and GPU clusters.

Boeing letos zaplatil FAA pokutu ve výši 3,1 milionu USD za sérii bezpečnostních porušení, včetně incidentu spojeného s nouzovou situací letu Alaska Airlines MAX 9 v roce 2024.
Boeing paid a $3.1 million fine to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration this year, after the agency said the planemaker had committed a series of safety violations, including actions tied to the 2024 Alaska Airlines MAX 9 mid-air emergency, the FAA told Reuters Wednesday.
The FAA said the full amount sought in September 2025 was paid by Boeing in January and had not been previously disclosed publicly. Boeing also confirmed to Reuters it paid the fine.
The FAA also said last year it was fining Boeing for interfering with safety officials’ independence and said the planemaker presented for agency approval two aircraft that were not airworthy.
In 2024, the FAA said it found hundreds of quality system violations at the planemaker's 737 factory in Renton, Washington, and the 737 fuselage factory of then Boeing subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita, Kansas, from September 2023 through February 2024.
The FAA found that a Boeing employee pressured a co-worker who was performing tasks on behalf of the FAA to sign off on a 737 MAX so the company could meet its delivery schedule, even though the co-worker had determined that the aircraft did not comply with regulatory standards.
Democratic U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal previously called the FAA fine inadequate, adding, "For Boeing, such fines are easily absorbed as the cost of doing business, not a meaningful deterrent to dangerous behavior."
Blumenthal previously investigated Boeing safety issues and chaired a committee when it probed the Alaska mid-air cabin blowout incident. The panel released a report showing Boeing whistleblowers raised significant concerns about the company's manufacturing processes.
The Alaska Airlines incident, which involved a 737 MAX found missing four key bolts, badly damaged Boeing's reputation and led to a brief grounding of the MAX 9 and an FAA monthly production cap of 38 planes that was lifted in October 2025.
The FAA in July said it would allow Boeing to issue airworthiness certificates for all 737 MAX and 787 airplanes after "months of thorough data and safety review demonstrating consistent production quality."
Citi jako první americká banka provedla reálné transakce na blockchainové účetní knize SWIFTu, a to s FAB a OCBC. Jde o krok k nepřetržitým přeshraničním platbám a vypořádání.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Citi announced today that it has successfully processed live transactions on Swift’s blockchain-based ledger, marking a significant milestone in its strategy to deliver always-on, cross-currency, and interoperable payment solutions for its institutional clients. As the first U.S. bank to conduct live native ledger transactions, Citi has collaborated with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) on this global initiative.
The initiative is a key part of the strategy for Citi’s Services business to advance its digital asset capabilities across cash and securities. It builds on newly integrated solutions, such as 24/7 USD Clearing, Citi Token Services, and Citi Custody+, to enable real-time, multi-bank, cross-border payments, as well as securities and collateral management for corporate and institutional clients. Citi’s 24/7 USD Clearing solution serves over 300 bank clients globally, and Citi Token Services processes around $1 billion in transactions through its blockchain-based platform. This reflects the natural evolution of a core focus for Citi Services: delivering instant, real-time, and always-on capabilities that bridge its payments and securities infrastructure with the emerging landscape of tokenized multi-bank networks and assets.
The live transactions already completed, include the first to be processed in the Middle East region with FAB, and the first in the Southeast Asia region with OCBC. These operations are an important step in demonstrating the viability of using distributed ledger technology to provide uninterrupted, 24/7 payments and settlements that are not restricted by traditional cut-off times or weekend closures. Citi expects to conduct similar transactions with other key collaborators later this month including DBS and United Overseas Bank (UOB). The pilot transactions are intended to be part of a focused, controlled proof-of-concept phase running from July to December 2026.
The use of shared blockchain infrastructure to support the movement of tokenized deposits and more broadly, securities, will also create a more efficient market for instant cross-border payments and securities settlements. The global pilot on Swift’s blockchain ledger is a primary example of this, demonstrating our commitment to supporting an interoperable ecosystem in cash and securities.
Debopama Sen, Head of Payments within Citi’s Services business said: "We are proud to be a leader in this pivotal initiative, working alongside Swift and our esteemed bank collaborators to continue to transform the landscape of always-on payments, settlements and liquidity. This pilot represents a crucial step in exploring how we can leverage the power of shared ledger technology to create a more efficient, interoperable, and always-on global financial system that supports both payments and collateral movement. Our active engagement in the design and execution of Swift’s ledger MVP ensures that our clients' interests are at the forefront as we shape the future of interoperability between digital and traditional currencies."
Swift’s ledger initiative is designed to bridge traditional finance with the emerging world of digital assets. It utilizes a shared blockchain-based infrastructure to enable instant payment commitment through tokenized deposits, while leveraging the safety and trust of existing settlement models, including real-time gross settlement (RTGS) for final settlement. This innovative model promises key benefits such as 24/7/365 service, faster credit for beneficiaries, and improved liquidity efficiency for banks.
Rachel Chew, Group Chief Operating Officer and Co-Head of Digital Assets, Global Transaction Services at DBS, said: "Initiatives such as the Swift Digital Ledger are bridging traditional banking infrastructures with emerging digital networks. By fostering deeper interoperability across these different ecosystems, we can achieve seamless transactions and establish common standards, which are essential for the wider adoption of tokenized money."
Carmen Chan, Deputy Head of Global Transaction Banking at Singapore’s OCBC, added: “Our successful live pilot transactions with Citi marks an important step towards enabling bank-issued digital money to move efficiently and securely across borders. For corporates, this could mean faster access to funds, greater payment certainty and improved liquidity management in an increasingly always-on economy. Interoperable shared infrastructure can help connect banking networks across jurisdictions while preserving the trust and reach of the global banking system. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Swift and our banking partners to advance more efficient, transparent and resilient global payments.”
So Lay Hua, Head of Group Transaction Banking, UOB said, “Our upcoming U.S. dollar transaction with Citi on Swift’s ledger underscores the power of industry collaboration in building the next generation of payment infrastructure. These transactions demonstrate how banks can enable faster, more seamless and interoperable payment flows across markets. As the One Bank for ASEAN, UOB is committed to contributing our regional network and transaction banking expertise to shape the future of payments.”

HPE zvýšila celoroční výhled po kvartálu, kdy tržby vzrostly o 33,6 % na 12,21 miliardy USD a překonaly odhady díky silné poptávce po AI a sítích. Akcie v prodlouženém obchodování klesly o 8 %.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE.N) raised its annual forecasts on Wednesday after reporting quarterly results that beat Wall Street expectations, as surging AI-related demand across networking and servers drove growth across its business.
Shares of the company, however, fell 8% in extended trading.
HPE's high-powered servers, which are essential for building and training AI models, have been in high demand from cloud computing giants and large enterprises.
Enterprise IT infrastructure spending is strengthening, driven by continued investment in AI, server refresh cycles and rising demand for data center capacity, Citi analysts have said.
"It's clear to us that the market, the tailwinds in AI, particularly the adoption of AI in the enterprise, is really starting to settle in," CFO Marie Myers told Reuters in an interview.
HPE expects enterprise adoption of AI to support growth beyond the current fiscal year, Myers said, after customers spent fiscal 2025 and 2026 testing AI systems and beginning deployments that are showing productivity gains.
HPE on Wednesday also announced an expansion to its collaboration with Oracle (ORCL.N) to help scale the software giant's global AI infrastructure, deploying HPE Juniper Networking equipment across Oracle's AI data centers.
Myers noted that supply remained constrained, with memory being the main bottleneck, followed by NAND, CPUs and drives, though HPE has signed longer-term supply agreements to improve access to components.
"Demand is far outstripping supply."
HPE forecast fiscal 2026 revenue growth of 34% to 37%, up from 29% to 33% previously, and raised its adjusted earnings forecast to between $3.75 and $3.85 per share, from $3.35 and $3.45.
For fiscal 2027, HPE now projects revenue growth of 13% to 17%, up from 8% to 12%, with adjusted EPS growth of 16% to 20%, versus 12% to 16% forecast previously.
Third-quarter revenue grew 33.6% to $12.21 billion, beating estimates of $11.91 billion. HPE earned $1.11 per share on an adjusted basis, ahead of estimates of 93 cents.
HPE's results follow strong forecasts from rivals Dell (DELL.N) and Super Micro (SMCI.O) as Big Tech's AI spending is set to exceed $730 billion this year.
Lowe’s zvýšil čtvrtletní dividendu o 4 % na 1,25 USD a má nižší výplatní poměr než Home Depot, takže jeho dividenda působí bezpečněji. Home Depot nabízí vyšší dividendový výnos 2,87 %, ale růst dividendy zpomalil na zhruba 1,3 %.
Home Depot and Lowe's both just paid shareholders, but the headline yield on one of them masks a coverage story that points in a very uncomfortable direction for income investors counting on future raises.

Home improvement’s dividend heavyweights just wrote checks to shareholders, and the scorecards tell very different stories. Home Depot (NYSE:HD | HD Price Prediction) offers the fatter yield and the bigger absolute payout, while Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW) counters with a longer growth streak, a leaner payout ratio, and free cash flow that towers over its distribution. With both stocks trading well off last year’s highs, the dividend math matters more than usual.
Home Depot’s Latest Payment: Higher Yield, Slower Raise Home Depot’s board declared a $2.33 quarterly dividend on August 20, 2026, with an ex-dividend date of September 3, 2026 and a payment date of September 17, 2026. That matches the prior two quarters and works out to an annualized rate of $9.32 per share.
The reset earlier this year lifted the payout from $2.30 to $2.33, a roughly 1.3% bump that ranks as one of Home Depot’s most restrained raises in years. For context, the quarterly amount stood at $1.65 as recently as 2021 and $1.03 in 2018.
At a recent price of $319.64, the yield sits around 2.87%, comfortably above Lowe’s. Home Depot has now paid a cash dividend for its 156th consecutive quarter, nearly 39 years without interruption. Coverage is adequate but not luxurious: the $9.32 annualized payout consumes roughly 63% of fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS of $14.69, and management guided fiscal 2026 EPS to approximately flat to 4% growth versus fiscal 2025.
Lowe’s Latest Payment: Smaller Check, Bigger Raise Lowe’s went the other way. The company paid $1.25 per share on August 5, 2026, up from $1.20 the prior quarter. That is a full 4% hike, more than triple Home Depot’s percentage raise, and it pushes the annualized forward dividend to $5.00.
On the Q2 earnings call, CFO commentary framed the payment as reinforcing Lowe’s “commitment to returning capital to shareholders and our status as a dividend aristocrat.” The company has raised its payout for more than 60 straight years, putting it in the rarefied Dividend King club that Home Depot cannot claim.
At $201.37, the yield lands near 2.35%. That is thinner than Home Depot’s on the surface, but the coverage picture is meaningfully stronger. Lowe’s fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of approximately $12.25 implies a payout ratio near 41%, well below Home Depot’s 63%.
Free Cash Flow: Where Lowe’s Pulls Away Cash generation widens the gap further. Lowe’s produced $3.1 billion in free cash flow in Q2 alone against $673 million in dividends paid, a coverage ratio north of four times. For the trailing fiscal year, operating cash flow reached $9.86 billion against dividend payouts of $2.64 billion.
Home Depot’s dividend bill is larger in absolute terms. Management disclosed approximately $2.3 billion in dividends paid during Q2 alone, alongside $880 million in capital expenditures. Return on invested capital slipped to 24.8% from 27.2% a year earlier, while Lowe’s posted 25.5% ROIC and management targeted 2.75 times adjusted debt-to-EBITDA by mid-2027.
Scorecard Verdict Both stocks have been punished by the housing slowdown. Home Depot is down 19.28% over the past year, and Lowe’s has slid 20.9%. Home Depot trades near 22 times earnings, while Lowe’s sits closer to 17 times, giving income investors a cheaper entry point on the smaller check.
Home Depot wins on yield and payment longevity. Lowe’s wins on growth streak, dividend growth rate this cycle, payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and valuation. Grading strictly on the dividend itself, Lowe’s earns the higher scorecard mark. Investors who prioritize current income today may still prefer Home Depot’s 2.87% yield, but the safer, faster-growing payout, the one better positioned to keep compounding through the housing cycle, belongs to Lowe’s.

Kvantový boom už netáhnou jen čisté tituly; IBM, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon a NVIDIA nabízejí expozici přes cloud a infrastrukturu. U NVIDIA to přes CUDA-Q a NVQLink propojuje kvantové procesory s akcelerovaným výpočtem.
Key Takeaways IBM, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and NVIDIA offer quantum exposure beyond pure-play hardware.Cloud access and hybrid quantum-classical computing are shifting the opportunity toward infrastructure.NVIDIA's CUDA-Q and NVQLink connect quantum processors with accelerated computing for hybrid workloads. Pure-play quantum stocks delivered powerful gains earlier in 2026, only to face a reset as investors began demanding stronger evidence of revenue conversion and commercialization. IonQ shares, for example, declined 5.4% after its second-quarter results, while Rigetti and D-Wave shares have lost 10.7% and 22.7%, respectively, since August 5.
The sharp volatility in pure-play quantum stocks indicates the risks of betting solely on companies whose valuations depend heavily on future commercialization. However, the opportunity in this space remains substantial. IBM (IBM - Free Report) , Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) , Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) , Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) and NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) are building different layers of the quantum ecosystem, from quantum processors and cloud platforms to software and the classical computing infrastructure needed to run quantum systems. This gives investors a way to participate in the sector's momentum without taking the full balance-sheet and valuation risks associated with pure plays.
Quantum Momentum Meets a More Difficult MarketThe near-term quantum opportunity is increasingly about access and infrastructure rather than standalone quantum hardware sales. Cloud platforms allow enterprises and researchers to experiment with quantum systems without owning specialized hardware, while hybrid quantum-classical architectures rely heavily on conventional high-performance computing.
The market backdrop makes that distinction even more important. U.S. inflation remained elevated in July, with CPI rising 3.4% year over year and core CPI increasing 2.5% (The Bureau of Labor Statistics Data). On Sept. 1, the S&P 500 fell 0.71% and the Nasdaq declined 1.03% as oil prices and Treasury yields moved higher. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 4.79%.
Higher yields generally put greater pressure on long-duration growth assets, making cash-generating, diversified technology companies a more defensible way to gain exposure to emerging technologies.
Where Does the Opportunity Lie?The next few months of 2026 are likely to be driven less by headline qubit counts and more by commercial milestones, cloud adoption, partnerships and integration with existing computing infrastructure.
That favors companies able to fund quantum investment from established businesses. It also creates an important distinction for investors: a stock does not have to be a pure quantum company to benefit from quantum adoption.
For investors seeking greater risk-adjusted return potential, the strategy should therefore be to prioritize companies where quantum represents an additional growth opportunity.
Against this backdrop, the following five stocks stand out for their strong positioning across quantum computing, cloud infrastructure and accelerated computing.
Stocks in FocusIBM: It offers the most direct exposure in quantum. The company committed more than $10 billion over five years to quantum, spanning R&D, manufacturing, capital investment, partnerships and M&A. IBM has more than 340 organizations in its quantum network and targets fault-tolerant quantum computing with Starling in 2029. Its recent HRL Laboratories acquisition further expands capabilities in silicon-spin qubits, cryogenics, control electronics and quantum interconnects.
IBM currently trades at 17.9X forward 12-month earnings, below the S&P 500’s 20.1X, indicating a relatively attractive valuation compared with the index members. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings indicates 6.4% growth on a 4.5% revenue growth projection. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Microsoft: It provides quantum exposure through its Azure ecosystem and proprietary hardware research. Its Majorana 2 processor uses a topological-qubit approach, with Microsoft reporting a 1,000-fold improvement in qubit lifetime versus its previous generation. Microsoft expects a scalable quantum computer by 2029. Beyond hardware, Microsoft's cloud and software infrastructure provides an established channel for quantum development and hybrid workloads, making quantum an additional growth opportunity rather than its core revenue driver.
MSFT currently trades at 24.78X forward 12-month earnings. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2027 earnings indicates 9.1% growth on a 17.2% revenue growth projection. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Alphabet: Its Google Quantum AI remains a leading quantum research program. In 2026, Google expanded beyond its established superconducting approach into neutral-atom quantum computing, giving it exposure to two different architectures. The move could help reduce technology concentration risk as the industry continues to evaluate competing approaches to scalability, error correction and commercial deployment.
GOOGL currently trades at 20.14X forward 12-month earnings. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings indicates 89.6% growth on a 26% revenue growth projection. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Amazon: Its quantum opportunity is primarily an AWS cloud and infrastructure play. Amazon Braket provides access to multiple quantum hardware technologies through a unified cloud service, allowing customers to experiment without owning quantum systems. AWS also expanded its collaboration with QuEra to bring fault-tolerant quantum computing to Amazon Braket, with scientifically relevant applications targeted to begin in 2028.
AMZN currently trades at 26.13X forward 12-month earnings. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings indicates 82.2% growth on a 15.7% revenue growth projection. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
NVIDIA: The company represents the infrastructure side of the quantum opportunity. Its CUDA-Q platform connects CPUs, GPUs and QPUs for hybrid quantum-classical workloads and supports multiple quantum hardware modalities. NVIDIA says CUDA-Q integrates with 75% of publicly available QPUs. Its NVQLink platform further connects quantum processors with accelerated computing for applications including error correction and hybrid workloads. This positions NVIDIA to benefit from quantum-classical integration without depending on a single QPU architecture.
NVDA currently trades at 17.51X forward 12-month earnings. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2027 earnings indicates 93.3% growth on an 87.4% revenue growth projection. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Power & Energy se stal největším segmentem Caterpillaru, když v roce 2025 dosáhl tržeb 28,6 miliardy USD. Růst táhne poptávka po energii pro datová centra a AI.
Key Takeaways CAT's Power & Energy became its largest segment, generating $28.6 billion in sales and revenues in 2025.Data-center and AI growth is boosting demand for engines, turbines and comprehensive power solutions.Caterpillar plans major capacity expansions by 2030, supported by strong backlog and service opportunities. Caterpillar Inc.’s (CAT - Free Report) Power & Energy segment has emerged as a major growth engine and is expected to play an increasingly important role in its long-term strategy. The business is benefiting from structural trends in global energy demand, particularly the rapid expansion of data centers and AI infrastructure, rising electricity consumption, grid constraints and growing demand for distributed and reliable power solutions.
The segment serves three primary end markets, Power Generation, Oil & Gas and Industrial applications, through a broad portfolio of reciprocating engines, gas turbines, generator sets, compression equipment, energy storage systems and related services.
Power & Energy generated $28.6 billion in sales and revenues in 2025, making it Caterpillar's largest operating segment based on sales. Between 2020 and 2025, the segment delivered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenues of 10.4%. Operating margins have risen from 16.4% in 2020 to 26.3% in 2025.
The momentum continued into 2026, with the segment generating $15.3 billion in revenues in the first half, up 19% year over year. Operating margins were 25.4% in the first quarter of 2026 and a record 29.8% in the second quarter.
Growth is being supported by rising demand for large reciprocating engines, turbines and related services for data center applications. The accelerating buildout of data centers and AI infrastructure represents a significant opportunity. Caterpillar offers reciprocating engines of up to 10 MW and turbines ranging from one MW to 39 MW for primary and backup power applications. Its portfolio also includes switchgear, controls, inverters and energy storage systems, enabling the company to provide comprehensive power solutions as customers seek alternatives to constrained utility grids.
Caterpillar is investing aggressively to capture this opportunity. The company plans to expand large reciprocating engine capacity to nearly three times the 2024 levels and gas turbine capacity by 2.5 times by 2030. It is also targeting Power Generation sales of more than three times 2024 levels by the end of the decade. These investments are supported by a strong backlog and growing demand for both prime and backup power solutions.
Services represent another important growth lever. The increasing use of continuously operating power systems, including data-center primary power and natural gas infrastructure, creates long-duration aftermarket opportunities. Gas turbines can generate service opportunities for 30-40 years, while digital monitoring, long-term service agreements, remanufacturing and turbine exchange programs further strengthen recurring revenue potential.
How Does CAT’s Power & Energy Segment Stack Up Against Peers?Caterpillar’s Power & Energy segment competes with Cummins Inc.’s (CMI - Free Report) Power Systems segment and GE Vernova Inc.’s (GEV - Free Report) Power and Electrification segment.
Cummins’ Power Systems segment contributed 18% of its total sales in 2025. The segment’s sales were $7.46 billion in 2025, up 16% year over year. The segment’s revenues have witnessed a CAGR of 15.5% over 2020-2025. In the first half of 2026, Power Systems’ revenues were $4.2 billion, up 19% year over year, reflecting higher demand for power generation equipment, especially in China and North America. The segment generated 19% of Cummins’ total revenues for the period.
GE Vernova’s Power segment increased 10% to $19.8 billion in 2025, contributing 52% of GE Vernova’s total sales. The electrification segment saw a 26% rise in revenues to $9.6 billion, accounting for 25% of the company’s total revenues. In the first half of 2026, the Power segment generated $10 billion of revenues, up 13% year over year, while the electrification segment’s revenues surged 65% to $6.6 billion.
CAT’s Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesCaterpillar shares have gained 87.7% in the past year, outperforming the manufacturing - construction and mining industry's 76.5% growth.

Oracle příští týden oznámí výsledky a Wall Street čeká zhruba 28% růst výnosů v konstantní měně a nárůst upraveného zisku na akcii (EPS) o 18,5 %. Trh s opcemi počítá s pohybem akcie ORCL o více než 10 % do konce příštího týdne.
The coming week could be pivotal for Oracle and the AI complex. The day after OpenAI Foundation's presentation at the Goldman Sachs Communications & Technology conference, Oracle reports earnings amid enormous enthusiasm for its role in the AI infrastructure buildout precisely at a time when questions surrounding OpenAI's enormous infrastructure commitments, to Oracle particularly, are becoming increasingly important.
Wall Street is decidedly optimistic: 42 Buy ratings, eight Holds and just one Sell. Expectations call for roughly 28% constant-currency revenue growth, versus 11% a year ago, while adjusted EPS may rise closer to 18.5%. Revenues are growing faster than earnings. Contrast that with some hardware suppliers, like Micron, whose revenues are expected to finish their fiscal year ending 8/31/26 246% higher, while EPS is expected to rise more than 840% over the same period. One is capitalizing on outsized demand and pricing power - the other is footing the bill.
Cloud infrastructure remains the centerpiece of the bull case. Oracle's OCI business has been growing explosively, and management is guiding to 27%-29% overall revenue growth this quarter.
Amazon, Alphabet and Meta are already deploying essentially all (or slightly more) of the cash their businesses generate into AI infrastructure. Oracle is different. Its existing balance sheet is already more leveraged, and it is relying more heavily on external financing as a percentage of anticipated spend.
To the bulls, that's attractive because Oracle offers greater financial and operating leverage to an AI boom. But if you're not named Pollyanna, average it tends to clip one's wings just as predators approach, and Oracle's competitors are formidable. The options market recognizes the uncertainty. Options imply a move greater than 10% by the end of next week, which is in line with the average over the last two years.
So how to play it?
Trade: With ORCL around the mid-$140s, consider the following structure. Sometimes referred to as a "double diagonal", I more commonly refer to this as a strangle swap.
In this structure, sell the September 25th weekly 125/167.50 strangle (simultaneously selling the 125 puts and 167.5 calls) while buying the January 115/195 strangle, for a net debit of roughly $8.30. Based on current pricing, the position has an estimated probability of profit above 70%, with approximate expiration breakevens around $118 on the downside and $180 on the upside. Those levels represent moves of roughly 17%-18% in either direction.
Those are big moves, because I think some big moves are possible. The coming week could be pivotal for Oracle. The day after OpenAI Foundation's presentation at the Goldman Sachs Communications & Technology conference, Oracle reports earnings amid enormous enthusiasm for its role in the AI infrastructure buildout precisely at a time when questions surrounding OpenAI's enormous infrastructure commitments, to Oracle particularly, are becoming increasingly important.
Rather than paying heavily for that near-term volatility or betting outright against a stock with tremendous momentum, the September/January strangle swap sells the expensive earnings, betting the bulls and bears may duke it out for a few more months while retaining longer-dated protection against a genuinely outsized move.
If earnings are merely good, or merely bad, rather than transformational, rapid decay (aka "vol crush") in the September options should work in our favor. And if Oracle (or OpenAI) delivers a shock, negative or positive, the January wings give us something the naked premium seller doesn't have; more time.
DISCLOSURES: Tidal holds positions in all the publicly traded securities mentioned.
