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

What this transaction means for investorsSince this transaction is part of a pre-planned, exercise-and-sell compensation strategy for Domino’s and its CEO, investors shouldn’t worry too much about it. We shouldn’t take this sale to heart too much in relation to DPZ stock or its recent performance.
From a Foolish perspective on Domino’s stock, I believe it is time for investors to start paying close attention to the steady-Eddie compounder. After completely reinventing its pizza in 2009, Domino’s went on to generate annualized total returns of 26% since -- even after the stock’s 34% pullback over the last year. While sales growth has slowed -- and the market may be sneaking up on saturation with over 22,500 locations globally -- the recent drawdown has Domino’s trading at a valuation it hasn’t seen since 2013.
Currently trading at just 17 times free cash flow (FCF), Domino’s would need to compound FCF by 5% annually over the long haul to live up to this discounted valuation, according to a reverse discounted cash flow calculation, which isn’t outrageous. Furthermore, the company has grown its dividend payments by 12% annually over the last decade, but these payments still use only 37% of Domino’s FCF, leaving ample room for further increases, and the 2.3% yield should be very secure. It may not be the most exciting investment right now, but Domino’s could be an excellent dividend-paying cornerstone for investors seeking more stability than many of today’s most popular AI or data center stocks offer.

Second quarter 2026 net sales of $1.9 billion were down (1.3)% compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the November 3, 2025 divestiture of the ThermoSafe business. Additionally, net sales benefited from higher prices implemented to offset the effects of inflation and tariffs and from the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower volume/mix. GAAP operating profit for the second quarter was up 9.8% to $193 million compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter, due to productivity savings from fixed cost reduction initiatives and procurement savings. These positive factors were offset by the absence of operating profit from the divested ThermoSafe business and lower volume/mix. Effective tax rates on GAAP income from continuing operations before income taxes and adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, were 27.8% and 23.8%, respectively, in the second quarter, compared to 37.3% and 25.6%, respectively, in the same period in 2025. “Our Sonoco team delivered solid second quarter results that met our expectations and exceeded consensus estimates as productivity and cost control initiatives helped offset global inflation headwinds stemming from higher logistics, chemicals, resins and other raw material costs,” said Howard Coker, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Results from our Industrial Paper Packaging segment exceeded expectations with operating profit up 4% during the period and up 29% from the first quarter. The Industrial segment improvement was primarily driven by productivity gains which more than offset price/cost headwinds. North America URB trade tons grew 6% which boosted mill utilization to 95%, while the segment’s volume/mix was flat. Our Consumer Packaging segment operating profit declined approximately 5% during the period but was up 22% sequentially from the first quarter. Productivity and cost containment initiatives boosted Consumer segment results. Paper can volumes were up 9% in EMEA/APAC due to rising snack demand, but overall segment volumes were down 1.8% driven primarily by lower metal aerosol cans and adhesive and sealant tube demand.”
Paul Joachimczyk, Sonoco’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “Our businesses continue to demonstrate tremendous cash-generating capabilities, delivering a record second-quarter operating cash flow of $301 million and free cash flow of $237 million, increases of 56% and 139%, respectively, compared to the prior year. These results reflect disciplined working capital management and the earnings power of our portfolio. Year-to-date operating cash flow includes approximately $103 million of one-time tax payments related to gains from our 2025 divestitures, highlighting that our underlying cash flow performance is strong and supports our confidence in reaffirming full-year guidance.”
Second Quarter 2026 Segment Results
(Dollars in millions except per share data)
Sonoco reports its financial results in two reportable segments: Consumer Packaging (“Consumer”) and Industrial Paper Packaging (“Industrial”).
As previously announced, effective January 1, 2026, results of the Company’s industrial and specialty plastics business (“Industrial Plastics”), the only business remaining in the All Other group of businesses following the November 2025 divestiture of ThermoSafe, are now included in the Industrial segment. Therefore, the Company no longer provides results of the All Other group of businesses.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
The Company maintained strong liquidity of $1.3 billion at June 28, 2026, consisting of $1.1 billion of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and cash on hand.Cash and cash equivalents were $169 million as of June 28, 2026, compared to $378 million, as of December 31, 2025.Total debt and net debt were $4.5 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, as of June 28, 2026, primarily reflecting seasonal working capital requirements within the Company's metal packaging business.Cash flow from operating activities for the period ended June 28, 2026 was a use of $(67) million, compared to a use of $(15) million in the same period of 2025. The main drivers of the year-over-year change in operating cash flow were a one-time payment of taxes in 2026 on the gains from the 2025 divestitures of the TFP and ThermoSafe businesses and the seasonal need for working capital for the Company’s metal packaging business.Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of fixed assets, for 2026 were $124 million, compared to $186 million last year.Free Cash Flow for the period ended June 28, 2026 improved to $(191) million compared to $(201) million in the same period in 2025, reflecting the factors impacting operating cash flow discussed above.The Company returned $106 million to shareholders through dividends during the first half of 2026, compared to $104 million in the prior year period. Guidance(1)
Full-Year 2026
Net Sales: $7.25 billion to $7.75 billion, in line with previous guidanceAdjusted EPS(2): Maintaining annual adjusted EPS guidance of $5.80 to $6.20 per diluted share and continuing to expect results toward the low end of the rangeAdjusted EBITDA(2): Guidance of $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion is unchanged from previous guidanceCash flow from operating activities: Guidance remains unchanged at $700 million to $800 million, including the effect of payments of prior year taxes on gains from divestitures and restructuring costs Commenting on Sonoco’s outlook, Howard Coker said, “Entering the second half of the year we are encouraged that several key indicators are strengthening in our favor as we begin our busiest period of the year. Demand for our URB in North America is very strong as a result of entering new markets, such as saturating URB for laminated products, along with share gains that have expanded our backlogs and require that we import paper from our Europe and Latin America mills through the third quarter. In our Consumer segment, projected paper can growth in Europe, Asia, and South America has us exploring additional capacity expansion plans while customer promotions and new product launches are projected to lift both paper and metal can volumes as we enter the important seasonal pack season in both the U.S. and EMEA. While we remain mindful of external macroeconomic risks, we are confident in our strategy, portfolio and ability to execute through economic cycles.”
Joachimczyk added, “As pricing actions and contract resets take effect, we expect improved margin performance across our portfolio. Combined with ongoing productivity initiatives, disciplined cost management and execution of our profitability performance plan, we remain confident in achieving our long-term goal of improving margins by 200 basis points by the end of 2028.”
(1)Although the Company believes the assumptions reflected in the range of guidance are reasonable, given the uncertainty regarding the future performance of the overall economy, the effects of tariffs, trade policy and inflation, the challenges in global supply chains, potential changes in raw material prices, other costs, and the Company’s effective tax rate, as well as other risks and uncertainties, including those related to the integration of Eviosys and described below, actual results could vary substantially. Further information can be found in the section entitled “Forward-looking Statements” in this release.
(2) Full year 2026 GAAP guidance is not provided in this release due to the likely occurrence of one or more of the following, the timing and magnitude of which we are unable to reliably forecast without unreasonable efforts: restructuring costs and restructuring-related impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture-related costs, gains or losses from the sale of businesses and the income tax effects of these items and/or other income tax-related events. These items could have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, quantitative reconciliations of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA guidance and net debt/Adjusted EBITDA targets to the nearest comparable GAAP measures have been omitted in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10 of Regulation S-K.

The Company’s results, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are referred to as “as reported” or “GAAP” results. The Company uses certain financial performance measures, both internally and externally, that are not in conformity with GAAP (referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures”) to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are identified using the term “Adjusted” (for example, “Adjusted Operating Profit,” “Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Sonoco,” and “Adjusted Diluted EPS”), reflect adjustments to the Company’s GAAP operating results to exclude amounts, including the associated tax effects where applicable, relating to:
restructuring/asset impairment charges1;acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs;gains or losses from the divestiture of businesses;losses from the early extinguishment of debt;non-operating pension costs;amortization expense on acquisition intangibles;changes in last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory reserves;certain income tax events and adjustments;derivative gains/losses;other non-operating income and losses; andcertain other items, if any. 1Restructuring and restructuring-related asset impairment charges are a recurring item as the Company’s restructuring programs usually require several years to fully implement, and the Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency. Although recurring, these charges are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the varying levels of restructuring activity, the inherent imprecision in the estimates used to recognize the impairment of assets, and the wide variety of costs and taxes associated with severance and termination benefits in the countries in which the restructuring actions occur.
The Company’s management believes the exclusion of the amounts related to the above-listed items improves the period-to-period comparability and analysis of the underlying financial performance of the business.
In addition to the “Adjusted” results described above, the Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Net Debt. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding the following: interest expense; interest income; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; non-operating pension costs; net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests; restructuring/asset impairment charges; changes in LIFO inventory reserves; gains/losses from the divestiture of businesses; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; other income; derivative gains/losses; and other non-GAAP adjustments, if any, that may arise from time to time. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation and amortization expense and equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment net sales. Net Debt is defined as the total of the Company’s short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to the closest GAAP measure of segment profitability, segment operating profit as the Company does not calculate net income by segment. Segment operating profit is the measure of segment profit or loss reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280 - “Segment Reporting,” as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Segment results, which are reviewed by the Company’s management to evaluate segment performance, do not include the following: restructuring/asset impairment charges; amortization of acquisition intangibles; acquisition, integration and divestiture-related costs; changes in LIFO inventory reserves; gains/losses from the sale of businesses; gains/losses from derivatives; or certain other items, if any, the exclusion of which the Company believes improves the comparability and analysis of the ongoing operating performance of the business. Accordingly, the term “segment operating profit” is defined as the segment’s portion of “operating profit” excluding those items. All other general corporate expenses have been allocated as operating costs to each of the Company’s reportable segments, except for costs related to discontinued operations.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with, nor are they an alternative for, measures conforming to GAAP, and they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with information to evaluate Sonoco’s operating results in a manner similar to how management evaluates business performance. The Company consistently applies its non-GAAP financial measures presented herein and uses them for internal planning and forecasting purposes, to evaluate its ongoing operations, and to evaluate the ultimate performance of management and each business unit against plans/forecasts. In addition, these same non-GAAP financial measures are used in determining incentive compensation for the entire management team and in providing earnings guidance to the investing community.
Material limitations associated with the use of such measures include that they do not reflect all period costs included in operating expenses and may not be comparable with similarly named financial measures of other companies. Furthermore, the calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures are based on subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that the investor may find material and view differently.
To compensate for any limitations in such non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is useful in evaluating the Company’s results to review both GAAP information, which includes all of the items impacting financial results, and the related non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain elements, as described above. Further, Sonoco management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider any non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Whenever reviewing a non-GAAP financial measure, investors are encouraged to review and consider the related reconciliation to understand how it differs from the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Free Cash Flow
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure of “Free Cash Flow,” which it defines as cash flow from operations minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures are defined as capital expenditures minus proceeds from the disposition of capital assets. Free Cash Flow may not represent the amount of cash flow available for general discretionary use because it excludes non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt repayments and required settlements of recorded and/or contingent liabilities not reflected in cash flow from operations.

SAN DIEGO, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encore Capital Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECPG) (“Encore” or the “Company”), an international specialty finance company, announced today that on July 22, 2026 (the “Redemption Notice Date”), it has issued a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to holders of the Company’s 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (CUSIP No. 292554 AP7) (the “Notes”), calling all $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for redemption on September 24, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”). The Company’s redemption right in respect of the Notes arises pursuant to Section 14.07 of the Indenture, dated as of March 3, 2023 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Truist Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as a result of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock having exceeded 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the Redemption Notice Date.
Redemption Process
The redemption price will be payable on the Redemption Date in cash and equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the Redemption Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). For each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Redemption Price will be equal to approximately $1,001. Unless the Company defaults in making payment of the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.
For all Notes surrendered in book-entry form, payment of the Redemption Price will be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and all redeemed Notes in book-entry form will be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of DTC.
Right to Convert the Notes
Holders of the Notes may surrender their Notes (or any portion thereof having a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000) for conversion at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 22, 2026 or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, such later date on which the Redemption Price is paid. To convert any Note, the holder must comply with the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. Upon conversion, a holder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, and the Company’s settlement of the conversion obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant conversion date. Any Notes submitted for conversion after they are called for redemption will be settled in cash. Any Notes not converted prior to the applicable deadline will be redeemed for the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date and will thereafter be canceled and cease to be outstanding.
As of the Redemption Notice Date, the conversion rate of the Notes is 15.1763 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $65.89 per share.
The sending of the Redemption Notice to the holders of the Notes constitutes a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” under the Indenture, and therefore the conversion rate is required to be increased in accordance with Section 13.03 of the Indenture for Notes surrendered for conversion during the period beginning on, and including, the Redemption Notice Date, and ending at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 22, 2026 (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”). The conversion rate applicable to such conversions will be increased by 1.0293 additional shares to 16.2056 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $61.71 per share. The conversion rate will remain subject to adjustment in accordance with the Indenture from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events.
Truist Bank is acting as Trustee, paying agent and conversion agent under the Indenture, and its address is 2713 Forest Hills Road, Building 2 - Floor 2, Wilson, North Carolina 27893, Attention: Encore Capital Group – Client Manager – Patrick Giordano.
Holders who have questions or who wish to discuss the redemption may contact the Company’s Investor Relations representative by email at [email protected].
This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the Indenture. The Redemption Notice is being delivered to holders separately in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number either as printed on the notes or as contained in this press release.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the pricing of the Notes in February 2023, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). In connection with the redemption, the Company expects that the capped call transactions will unwind and terminate in full. In connection with any such unwind and termination, the Company would receive from each option counterparty an amount of cash (or shares of the Company’s common stock if agreed with the applicable option counterparty) reflecting the then-current option value of such capped call transaction, as determined pursuant to the terms of such transaction or as otherwise agreed with the Company. The Company expects to enter into bilateral unwind agreements with each option counterparty to unwind and terminate its respective capped call transaction as of or shortly following the Redemption Date, with a termination value determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock over a valuation period expected to end shortly prior to the Redemption Date and payable to the Company on or shortly following the Redemption Date, in each case, subject to extension.
In connection with unwinding and terminating the capped call transactions, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates are expected to unwind various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or sell shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions. This activity may have the effect of decreasing (or reducing the size of any increase in) the market price of the Company’s common stock.

Apple chystá zásadní obměnu celé řady Maců, včetně přepracovaného MacBooku Pro s čipem M6, aby uspokojila poptávku po AI počítačích. První modely mají přijít letos na podzim a až do roku 2027.
Apple reportedly wants to overhaul its Mac line as consumers seek artificial intelligence (AI)-powered computers.
The company plans to introduce new versions of every Mac product it sells, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday (July 22), citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the matter.
This will include long-awaited updates to the company’s desktops, several laptops and a revamped version of the MacBook Pro, all scheduled to roll out this fall and into 2027, the sources said.
The launches will begin with an updated low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro that will be among the first Macs to include a new M6 chip and the first new iMacs in two years, the sources added.
PYMNTS has contacted Apple for comment but has not yet received a reply.
Bloomberg noted that the Mac has seen a resurgence of late, with sales forecast to increase for the third straight year. These devices have become popular with people who run computing-intensive AI agents. At the same time, a dearth of memory chips strained manufacturing, causing Apple to increase prices, the report added.
Supply issues are such that new orders on some Mac mini and Mac Studio models won’t ship for at least three months, the report said, challenging Apple to introduce new models with its usual level of inventory, the report said.
Apple CEO Tim Cook had said in April that he thinks it could take “several months” for those machines to achieve supply demand balance, Bloomberg added. Apple raised prices on several products—though not its iPhone—in June.
A report earlier this month by Kiplinger said those price increases could lead to a years-long era of costlier electronics. Cook has blamed the price hikes on soaring memory chip costs, saying he’s never experienced anything like it in 40 years.
“We’re doing our best to mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable,” Cook told the Wall Street Journal last month.
Bloomberg had reported Tuesday (July 21) that the company was readying a leasing program known as Apple Upgrade. Set to launch next week, this service will reportedly support most iPhone, Mac, iPad and Apple Watch models and work like a subscription.
“Users can pay off devices early in their term, upgrade earlier to newer models, or keep the original device until the leasing period ends,” PYMNTS wrote in a report on the program. “As with a car lease, the device could be returned when the term is up.”

A day after Snap tentatively settled with the plaintiff in a social media addiction lawsuit, leaving Meta as the only remaining defendant, the case has been dropped. In a statement, Meta said the plaintiff chose to drop his case against Meta without receiving any payment.
TikTok and Google’s YouTube had previously reached settlement agreements with the plaintiff. (Snap on Tuesday confirmed a tentative agreement had been reached.)
The bellwether jury trial had been set to begin next week in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles.
The plaintiff, a Florida teenager known by the initials “R.K.C.,” had sued the social media companies for creating addictive platforms. It was one of thousands of similar lawsuits from teens, schools, and state attorneys general that had accused the big tech companies of knowingly creating addictive platforms.
The precedent that would have been set by this lawsuit and others could have impacted how the companies build their apps, known for features that keep people engaged, like the infinite scroll and their continual buzz of notifications.
The plaintiff’s decision to drop the case follows Meta’s loss in a New Mexico case earlier this year, which marked its first courtroom defeat over social media harms. Meta was ordered to pay $375 million in penalties after the company was found to have misled consumers about the safety of its platforms and endangered children.
In March, a Los Angeles jury also handed both Meta and Google another defeat, awarding the defendant in that case some $6 million in damages.
Meta had been prepared to argue that the plaintiff in this case had allegedly only used Facebook and Instagram accounts for minutes per day on average, and was planning to claim that most of his accounts had been created after hiring a lawyer.
In its statement, Meta said that, “this outcome makes clear that we will not back away from defending ourselves against baseless lawsuits.”

Tesla ve 2. čtvrtletí vykázala tržby 28,24 miliardy USD, nad odhady, ale zisk na akcii 33 centů zaostal za očekáváním 50 centů. Cybercab už je ve výrobě a Optimus Bot má přijít „brzy“.
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) reported second-quarter financial results after market close Wednesday.
Here are the highlights.
Tesla Q2 EarningsTesla reported second-quarter revenue of $28.24 billion. The total beat a Street consensus estimate of $25.71 billion, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
Second-quarter earnings of 33 cents per share missed a Street consensus estimate of 50 cents per share.
Tesla previously reported second-quarter deliveries of 480,126 vehicles, up 25% year-over-year. The total beat a Street estimate of 406,000.
The company said it hit $100 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue for the first time in history in the second quarter.
Active FSD subscriptions hit 1.48 million in the second quarter, up 56% year-over-year and up from the 1.28 million reported in the first quarter.
Tesla ended the quarter with digital assets worth $674 million, made up primarily of Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) holdings. This marks a significantly lower figure than the $786 million in the first quarter, with the leading cryptocurrency trading lower this year.
What’s Next for TeslaThe company said its first-generation production lines for Optimus Bot are being installed in anticipation of production in 2026, with the company saying production will happen "soon."
The Cybercab is listed as in production, an improvement from the company saying it expected volume production "this year" last quarter. Tesla said the vehicle began production in the quarter.
The Tesla Semi is listed as "commissioning" and the company said it remains on track for volume production this year.
"We are focused on maximum capacity utilization at our factories," the company said.
Tesla said deliveries and deployments will depend on demand.
"Tesla is in its largest and most exciting period of investment."
The company said it has "never been more optimistic about the future."

Tesla is no longer planning to reach “volume production” of three of its newest products – the Cybercab, the Tesla Semi, and its Megapack 3 commercial energy storage solution – in 2026, according to a second-quarter shareholder letter published Wednesday. The company also removed language from its first-quarter letter about its Optimus robot reaching “volume production.”
The company said Wednesday that it’s trying to increase battery production, specifically around the company’s 4680 cell, in order to start building the Cybercab and Tesla Semi at scale. It did not offer a reason for pushing back volume production of the new Megapack, or say whether there are any holdups around Optimus.
Tesla started making the first production Cybercabs at its factory in Austin, Texas earlier this year, but said in the letter that it’s still building out the manufacturing lines for the Semi and Optimus. The company had said as recently as January that the Cybercab, Semi, and Megapack 3 would reach “volume production” this year.
The pullback comes as the company plows money into its next generation of products while attempting to shift from an EV maker to an AI and robotics company. Tesla’s results, which showed net income falling 5% year-over-year to $1.1 billion, capital expenditures more than doubling, and negative free cash flow, were slightly buoyed by an uptick in revenue.
Still that revenue boost wasn’t enough to offset the cost of business and Tesla’s push to develop and launch new products, which Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja previously said would lead to negative cash flow for the remainder of the year.
The company reported revenue of $28.2 billion, a 26% increase from the $22.5 billion it generated in the second quarter of 2025. Tesla’s second-quarter revenue also grew from the previous quarter’s haul of $22.38 billion.
The bulk of its revenue came from selling and leasing its EVs — and those results improved significantly this quarter.
The company reported automotive revenue of $20.5 billion in the second quarter, compared to $16.6 billion in the same-year ago period. Tesla delivered more than 480,000 vehicles in the second quarter, an increase of more than 120,000 from the first quarter.
It was Tesla’s best result for overall sales since the third quarter of last year, when it delivered nearly 500,000 vehicles. The increase was driven by record sales in several markets outside of the U.S., including South Korea, Australia, Colombia, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Portugal, the Philippines, Chile, Slovenia and Lithuania, the company said in its shareholder letter.
Tesla’s second-quarter revenue results improved from a year ago when the company suffered from a combination of falling EV sales, lower average selling prices, less cash from regulatory credits, and a drop in solar and energy revenue.
Sales of energy storage and solar also proved to be a standout, improving 13% to $3.1 billion. And subscriptions to Tesla’s advanced driver assistance system, known as Full Self-Driving (Supervised) continue to rise. The company reported 1.48 million subscriptions, a 56% increase from the same period last year.
Tesla’s bottom line, however, slipped as it poured money into new products and saw its gross margins squeezed.
Tesla reported net income of $1.1 billion, a 5% decrease from the same period a year ago. At the same time, its operating expenses ballooned by 47% to $4.3 billion. Meanwhile, Tesla had negative free cash flow of $1 billion in the second quarter, a stark change from the $1.44 billion in positive free cash flow it reported last quarter and the $146 million it had in the same period last year.
The company’s operating income was $398 million, a 57% drop from the $932 million it reported in the same period last year.
A year ago, Tesla called the second quarter of 2025 a “seminal point” in the company’s history and the beginning of its transition from a company that sells electric vehicles, solar, and energy storage to one that leads in “AI, robotics and related services.”
That transition is still underway and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the company would boost spending to achieve its goal. Tesla said its capital expenditure will be $25 billion in 2026, about three times more than it historically has spent.
This spring, the company ended production of its flagship Model S sedan and Model X SUV vehicles at its Fremont, California factory to make way for its Optimus humanoid robot. It is also bringing its Tesla Robotaxi service to new cities, albeit with a limited number of vehicles. And it’s still pushing to sell owners on Full Self-Driving (Supervised), and eventually make that product capable enough to handle all driving without the need of a human.

YouTube ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšil reklamní příjmy o 13 % na 11,06 miliardy USD a pomohl mateřské společnosti Alphabet k silným výsledkům. Celkové tržby vzrostly o 24 % na 119,8 miliardy USD a EPS téměř zčtyřnásobil na 9,11 USD.
YouTube ad revenue increased 13% in the second quarter compared with the same period a year ago, helping to pace parent Alphabet‘s financial performance.
Total revenue rose 24% in the quarter to hit $119.8 billion, while earnings per share nearly quadrupled to $9.11. Both metrics were ahead of Wall Street expectations.
YouTube pulled in $11.06 billion in ad revenue, showing double-digit growth that has eluded its traditional media rivals in recent years. Along with its deep well of creator content, YouTube is increasingly looking to cross over into traditional entertainment, landing rights to the Academy Awards and NFL football games.

In the company’s earnings release, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai flagged YouTube’s popularity as a way for people to keep current. “Month over month, people turn to YouTube for major world events, with over 1.7 billion unique viewers watching World Cup-related videos during the FIFA World Cup,” he wrote.
Debate about the stocks of Alphabet and the other “magnificent seven” tech giants (Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla and Microsoft) preceded the earnings release. Some Wall Streeters fret about a recent divergence between the “mag seven” and semiconductor shares, given that chipmakers have slumped recently despite their key role in the AI boom.

Nvidia představila dosud nejpodrobnější podobu architektury Vera CPU a zdůrazňuje rychlejší dokončení úlohy jednoho AI agenta. Bank of America říká, že spor v oblasti AI infrastruktury se přesouvá k tomu, zda je důležitější výkon na agenta, nebo počet agentů na rack.
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD) is drawing attention to the evolving competition in the AI server CPU market after providing its most detailed look yet at its Vera CPU architecture, with Bank of America highlighting a growing debate over how AI infrastructure performance should be measured.
In a note to clients, the bank wrote that the emerging competition centers on two different approaches to agentic AI. Nvidia is focused on reducing the "time-to-complete-an-agent," while Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) is emphasizing the "number-of-agents-per-rack." Bank of America estimates the server CPU total addressable market could expand to approximately $170 billion by 2030.
According to the analysts, Nvidia's Vera architecture combines 88 custom ARM-based Olympus cores with 1.2TB/s of memory bandwidth and 3.4TB/s of on-die fabric bandwidth. The company argues that as agentic AI workloads become more common, CPU latency, memory responsiveness and GPU utilization will become increasingly important, making faster per-core performance a key advantage.
Bank of America noted that Nvidia's design also reflects a broader co-design strategy across its AI platform, including Rubin GPUs, networking and storage technologies.
The report comes ahead of AMD's AI Day on Thursday, where Bank of America expects the company to present its own view of AI infrastructure performance. Rather than focusing on faster individual agents, AMD is expected to emphasize rack-level throughput and the ability to support more concurrent AI workflows.
The analysts noted that AMD estimates its current EPYC 9965 (Turin) processor delivers roughly 2.4 times the rack-level throughput of Nvidia's Vera baseline in a modeled 100-kilowatt deployment, while its upcoming EPYC 6 (Venice) platform is projected to deliver up to 3.3 times the throughput.
Beyond performance metrics, Bank of America said the rivalry also reflects a broader architectural debate between ARM and x86 processors. Nvidia's approach suggests processor architecture is less important if higher single-thread performance improves AI agent execution, while AMD and Intel are expected to argue that x86 retains an advantage through its long-established software ecosystem and compatibility with enterprise applications.
Bank of America wrote that the central question for investors is whether future AI deployments will be constrained more by the speed at which an individual AI agent completes a task or by the number of AI agents that can operate simultaneously within a fixed power budget. The firm expects AMD's upcoming event to focus on shaping that discussion rather than benchmark comparisons alone.
Nvidia shares added 3% at $214, to mark an almost 15% gain so far this year.
JPMorgan Chase vykázala čtvrtletní zisk 21,2 miliardy USD, což je rekord v americkém bankovnictví a meziročně o 41 % více. EPS vzrostl o 47 % a všechny divize banky dosáhly rekordních výsledků.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM +0.86%) just did something no U.S. bank has ever done. It earned $21.2 billion in a single quarter, up 41% from a year earlier, the largest quarterly profit in the history of American banking. Earnings per share jumped 47%, and every one of the bank's business lines set a record.
Yet JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's reaction was telling. He called the environment "close to as good as it gets," then added, "We just don't know how long it's going to last."
This was a quarter supercharged by Wall Street activity. Equity trading revenue surged 86% to $6 billion, and a big reason was the record-shattering initial public offering of Space Exploration Technologies, the largest IPO ever, which sent a wave of fees to the banks that ran it. Investment banking fees climbed 30% to $3.3 billion, their highest level since 2021, led by strength in equity underwriting. Total revenue rose 27% to $58 billion. A one-time gain tied to the bank's stake in Visa also padded the bottom line.
There is a warning hidden in the good news Here is why I would not simply extrapolate this quarter, and I wouldn't expect continued optimism. Dimon's caveat, which he said during the earnings call, is the whole story. Trading booms and blockbuster IPOs are lumpy and unpredictable, and a deal like SpaceX's does not come along often. One-time gains, by definition, do not repeat.
When the head of the best-run bank in the country says conditions are about as good as they get and openly wonders how long that will hold, he is telling investors this is a high-water mark and really a new baseline. It is worth remembering he has also cautioned that artificial intelligence, for all its efficiency gains, is unlikely to widen the bank's margins because every rival is adopting it too.

JPMorgan is executing at an extraordinary level, and this quarter is a testament to its scale and diversification across trading, dealmaking, and lending. But a record built on a once-in-history IPO, an 86% trading surge, and a one-off gain is a peak, not a run rate. I would admire the quality of this business without assuming the next few quarters will look anything like this one. The smartest investors treat a blowout like this as a reason to respect JPMorgan, not to bet that the good times never end.

CompaniesJuly 22 (Reuters) - A federal judge cast doubt on Wednesday on claims by approximately 69,000 people alleging that Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ.N), opens new tab baby powder and other talc products caused ovarian cancer, saying plaintiffs must provide more specific evidence or risk having their lawsuits dismissed.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Rukhsanah Singh in Trenton, New Jersey, said that recent testimony by two of the plaintiffs' experts raised doubts about whether any plaintiffs can provide evidence admissible in court "that talcum powder use specifically caused her ovarian cancer."

The two experts, Judith Wolf and Daniel Clarke-Pearson, testified in May in preparation for a set of six "bellwether," or test, trials for the thousands of court cases that have been consolidated in New Jersey's federal court. Verdicts in bellwether trials are used to assess the potential value of remaining claims and guide settlement talks.
J&J has denied the allegations that its talc products caused cancer, saying that talc was safe and did not contain asbestos.
A spokesperson for the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did a lead attorney for the plaintiffs.
Wolf and Clarke-Pearson said they could not completely rule out other possible causes of the plaintiffs' ovarian cancer, according to Singh's opinion.
"If such uncertainty is indeed reality, then how can any plaintiff here meet her burden on the merits of her claim?" Singh wrote.
Singh said that the debate over causation would not lead to "instant dismissal" of the thousands of cases in the consolidated federal litigation. The judge ordered plaintiffs to respond by November 19, and to explain why their case should not be dismissed over the failure to provide an admissible expert opinion that J&J talc caused their specific cancer.

IBM zvýšilo celoroční odhad růstu tržeb v konstantní měně na 4–5 % a dál čeká volný peněžní tok asi o 1 miliardu USD vyšší než loni. Ve 2. čtvrtletí tržby vzrostly na 17,2 miliardy USD.
, /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced second-quarter 2026 earnings results.
"We are confident in IBM's strategy and portfolio, and in our ability to capture growth opportunities ahead. We fundamentally believe that we are in the early innings of a structural shift for business, and that our portfolio - across software, infrastructure, and consulting - is well-positioned to help our clients tap the value, and manage the challenges, of an AI-driven future," said Arvind Krishna, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer. "In addition, we are taking action to accelerate our revenue growth and profitability, driving productivity across the company with AI and automation, and heavily investing in commercializing innovation at speed and scale. We now expect constant currency revenue growth in the range of four-to-five percent, and we continue to expect free cash flow to increase by about $1 billion year-over-year for the full year."
Full-Year 2026 Expectations
Revenue: The company now expects full-year constant currency revenue growth in the range of four-to-five percent. At current foreign exchange rates, currency is expected to be neutral to growth for the year Free cash flow: The company continues to expect full-year free cash flow to increase by about $1 billion year-over-year Operational Focus Areas
High-Growth Portfolio: Areas of IBM's software business that help clients manage, deploy and build AI-ready solutions, like Red Hat, the watsonx portfolio, HashiCorp, and Confluent continue to deliver strong performance. Within Distributed Infrastructure, Power and Storage grew at a record pace in the second quarter, now having built up an order backlog of nearly $500 million. Together, these offerings closely map to where client demand is strongest. To capture these growth opportunities, IBM is accelerating changes to its go-to-market model by expanding sales coverage across thousands of additional clients where there is significant opportunity. As AI adoption moves from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, the company is also investing in more specialized technical and client-facing talent, including Forward Deployed Engineers. Rapid Innovation at Scale: IBM is acting decisively to capture new opportunities as they arise. Lightwell, a new capability to address open source security vulnerabilities, leverages IBM and Red Hat's trust within the open source community, unique approach to AI, and global scale. In the first two weeks of availability, Lightwell has already made more than 7,500 open source patches available to help clients secure vulnerabilities. Additionally, quantum computing continues to be an investment priority for the company. In May, with the U.S. Department of Commerce, IBM announced a letter of intent to build Anderon, the world's first pure-play quantum wafer foundry. IBM will invest more than $10 billion in quantum over the next five years, and remains on track to deliver the first large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. Productivity Enables Investment and Value: IBM is accelerating productivity by scaling software development leveraging AI, increasing the effectiveness of its sales and marketing organization, and optimizing its supply chain. These efforts help enhance margin and free cash flow, and strengthen the company's ability to capture significant growth opportunities. The company now expects improved pre-tax income margin expansion for the full year. "Although we faced revenue headwinds late in the second quarter, we continued to focus on the fundamentals of our business, including driving productivity, strengthening our portfolio, and generating free cash flow," said James Kavanaugh, IBM senior vice president and chief financial officer. "In a quarter like this, it is critical that our financial and operational discipline remains strong and that we continue to invest for growth while returning value to shareholders through our dividend."

IBM snížila výhled růstu tržeb pro rok 2026 na 4 % až 5 % z více než 5 %, protože zákazníci přesouvají výdaje k AI infrastruktuře. Ve 2. čtvrtletí jí tržby z mainframů Z klesly o 42 %.

SummaryCompaniesIBM now expects 2026 revenue growth of 4% to 5%, down from prior expectation of more than 5% growthZ mainframe revenue slumped 42% in the second quarterSecond-quarter adjusted profit was $2.93 per share, below $2.97 estimateJuly 22 (Reuters) - IBM cut its annual revenue growth forecast on Wednesday, days after shocking Wall Street with a warning that corporate spending was shifting toward AI-focused data-center gear at the expense of its software and mainframe computers.
The company (IBM.N), opens new tab also missed profit and revenue expectations for the second quarter ended June 30. Executives sought to reassure shareholders that customers prioritized spending on AI in the quarter but were not looking to move away from mainframes in the longer term.

Shares of the Armonk, New York-based company were up over 2% in extended trading.
CEO Arvind Krishna said last week IBM had "faltered" in adapting and "numerous large deals" had slipped, sending the company's shares down 25%, its steepest one-day fall in more than a century.
The forecast spotlights how the scramble for AI hardware has stoked investor fears that companies rushing to secure scarce servers, chips and networking gear could be cutting back on spending on the wider software sector.
IBM now expects 2026 revenue growth between 4% and 5%, down from its previous expectations of more than 5% growth. The midpoint of the forecast is below analysts' average estimate of a 4.8% rise to $70.77 billion in revenue, according to data compiled by LSEG.
However, some analysts have said the impact on the rest of the software industry might be limited as Big Blue had attributed much of the weakness to its mainframe business, which processes millions of daily transactions across industries such as banking and airlines.
"For the broader software sector, this should be treated as a positive print, with IBM's software woes more likely to reflect specific IBM-related hardware issues, as management outlined in its investor letter last week," CFRA analyst Brooks Idlet said.
Revenue from IBM's Z mainframe slumped 42% in the second quarter, dragging infrastructure revenue down 7% to $3.84 billion.
"That mainframe stack of hardware and transaction processing software impacted IBM's growth by over five points in the quarter," IBM finance chief James Kavanaugh told Reuters. "We were only expecting about a point or two of an impact."
He said IBM sees "no evidence of clients moving off a mainframe," adding that it expects "significant outperformance in the program to continue through the second half."
Software revenue in the second quarter rose 5% to $7.76 billion but missed an average estimate of $7.88 billion.
The company's second-quarter revenue ticked up 1% to $17.16 billion, missing estimates of $17.58 billion. IBM reported a net profit of $2.17 billion, a dip from a year earlier, while adjusted profit of $2.93 per share missed an average estimate of $2.97.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net operating income, a non-GAAP(1) financial measure, has been used consistently by Globe Life's management for many years to evaluate the operating performance of the Company, and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. It differs from net income primarily because it excludes certain non-operating items such as realized investment gains and losses and certain significant and unusual items included in net income. Management believes an analysis of net operating income is important in understanding the profitability and operating trends of the Company's business. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

MANAGEMENT VS. GAAP MEASURES
Shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI, and book value per share, excluding AOCI, are non-GAAP measures that are utilized by management to view the business without the effect of changes in AOCI, which are primarily attributable to fluctuation in interest rates. Management views the business in this manner because it creates more meaningful and easily identifiable trends, as we exclude fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates. Shareholders' equity and book value per share are the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

INSURANCE UNDERWRITING INCOME
Insurance underwriting margin is management's measure of profitability of the Company's life and health segments' underwriting performance, and consists of premiums less policy obligations (excluding interest on policy liabilities), commissions and other acquisition expenses. Insurance underwriting income is the sum of the insurance underwriting margins of the life and health segments, plus annuity and other income, less administrative expenses. It excludes the investment segment, interest on debt, Parent Company expense, stock compensation expense and income taxes. Management believes this information helps provide a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of underwriting results by distribution channel. Insurance underwriting income, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of net operating income, which is reconciled to net income in the Results of Operations section above.

Management considers net sales to be a better indicator of premium growth than annualized premium issued since annualized premium issued is before cancellations, as cancellations do not contribute to premium income.

INVESTMENTS
Management uses excess investment income as the measure to evaluate the performance of the investment segment. It is defined as net investment income less the required interest attributable to policy liabilities. We also view excess investment income per diluted common share as an important and useful measure to evaluate performance of the investment segment, since it takes into consideration our stock repurchase program.

NON-GAAP MEASURES:
In this news release, Globe Life includes non-GAAP measures to enhance investors' understanding of management's view of the business.

More detailed financial information, including various GAAP and non-GAAP measurements, is located at https://investors.globelifeinsurance.com on the Investors page under "Financial Reports and Other Financial Information."
CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These prospective statements reflect management's current expectations, but are not guarantees of future performance. Whether or not actual results differ materially from forward-looking statements may depend on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable events or developments, which may be national in scope, related to the insurance industry generally, or applicable to the Company specifically. Such events or developments could include, but are not necessarily limited to:
1) Economic and other conditions, including the impact of inflation, immigration, geopolitical events, escalating tariff and non-tariff trade measures imposed by the U.S. and other countries, and other governmental actions on the U.S. economy and/or U.S. consumer confidence, leading to unexpected changes in lapse rates and/or sales of our policies, as well as levels of mortality, morbidity, and utilization of health care services that differ from Globe Life's assumptions;
2) Regulatory developments, including changes in accounting standards or governmental regulations (particularly those impacting taxes and changes to the Federal Medicare program that would affect Medicare Supplement);
3) Market trends in the senior-aged health care industry that provide alternatives to traditional Medicare (such as Health Maintenance Organizations and other managed care or private plans) and that could affect the sales of traditional Medicare Supplement insurance;
4) Ratings changes with respect to our financial strength and credit ratings and potential adverse impacts to liquidity;
6) General economic, industry sector or individual debt issuers' financial conditions (including developments and volatility arising from geopolitical events, particularly in certain industries that may compromise part of our investment portfolio) that may affect the current market value of securities we own, or that may impair an issuer's ability to make principal and/or interest payments due on those securities;
7) Changes in the competitiveness of the Company's products and pricing;
8) Litigation results and regulatory actions;
9) Levels of administrative and operational efficiencies that differ from our assumptions (including any reduction in efficiencies resulting from increased costs arising from the impact of higher than anticipated inflation);
10) The ability to obtain timely and appropriate premium rate increases for health insurance policies from our regulators;
11) The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Parent Company and to receive required regulatory approvals on such amounts;
12) The customer response to new products and marketing initiatives;
13) Reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which are based on management estimates and judgments which may differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized;
14) Compromise by a malicious actor or other event that causes a loss of secure data from, or inaccessibility to, our computer and other information technology systems;
15) The Company's ability to attract and retain agents;
16) The severity, magnitude, and impact of natural or man-made catastrophic events, including but not limited to pandemics, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, war and terrorism, on our operations and personnel, commercial activity and demand for our products; and

Unity Software před výsledky za 2. čtvrtletí získává podporu Wall Street; Wedbush zvedl cílovou cenu na 36 USD. Analytici čekají, že se na platformu Vector přesunulo asi 60 % výdajů z ironSource.
Unity Software Inc (NYSE:U) is drawing renewed optimism from Wall Street ahead of its second-quarter earnings.
Wedbush is raising its price target on the stock to $36 as Unity works through a significant business transition. The company's ironSource Ad Network is being sunset effective April 30, and its Supersonic unit is slated for divestiture, leaving Unity's business increasingly concentrated on its Vector advertising platform and core game engine.
Wedbush analysts said they had confidence in Unity's ability to recapture ad spend that had been flowing through the winding down ironSource network. According to the analysts, roughly 60% of ironSource spend has already migrated to Vector, and one advisor's firm now allocates about 20% of its budget to Vector, up sharply from around 5% before Unity overhauled its algorithm last year.
That data point is driving Wedbush to lift its longer term estimates, with the firm now projecting Unity's adjusted EBITDA will reach $915 million by fiscal 2028.
Unity is scheduled to report second quarter results before the market opens on August 6.
TSMC ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby téměř o 34 % a EPS o 77 %, ale poptávka po čipech pro AI už naráží na kapacitu. Nedostatek kapacit otevírá dveře Intelu a Samsungu.
Taiwan Semiconductor's (TSM -0.64%) second quarter results were stellar. Revenue soared nearly 34% year over year, earnings per share jumped by 77%, and operating margin topped 60%. TSMC's 2nm process is ramping up, accounting for 3% of total wafer revenue so far, and advanced processes now generate more than three-quarters of total wafer revenue.
Booming demand for AI accelerators, CPUs, and other chips destined for AI data centers is maxing out TSMC's capacity, and the company is unable to keep pace. TSMC is ramping up capital spending, including a $100 billion commitment to its fabs in Arizona, but CEO C.C. Wei would only say during the earnings call that he expected "very strong" demand through 2030. It's unlikely that TSMC's supply will catch up with demand anytime soon.

A golden opportunity for the competition TSMC dominates the foundry market, but the best demand environment the company has ever seen is opening a door for Intel (INTC -2.47%) and Samsung (SSNLF +0.00%). With TSMC unable to fully meet demand, chip designers are actively looking elsewhere.
Both Intel and Samsung are making progress chipping away at TMSC's lead. Intel and its Intel 14A process node are involved in Elon Musk's Terafab project, and the Wall Street Journal reported in May that Apple reached a preliminary deal to use Intel for manufacturing some chips. Just this week, Intel inked a deal with Fortinet to design, manufacture, and package a custom chip on the Intel 4 process. Momentum appears to be building, and Intel's push into custom chip design is helping the cause.
Samsung is also winning major customers, signing a major deal with Tesla last year to manufacture AI chips over multiple years. Other companies, including AMD and Alphabet, are reportedly considering Samsung for future products. Samsung could be churning out AMD's server CPUs and Alphabet's TPUs if it wins those deals.
Both Intel and Samsung have distinct advantages that TSMC can't match. For Intel, it's U.S. government support, via an equity stake and its status as the only U.S.-based advanced logic semiconductor manufacturer. For Samsung, it's a memory chip manufacturing business that is currently printing cash. Wei pointed to both in response to an analyst's question about the competition.
TSMC isn't going to lose its crown, but the AI boom that's delivering record profits is also giving a serious boost to the competition.

Keep an eye on Intel Intel is scheduled to report its quarterly results on Thursday. The company is unlikely to announce specific foundry customer wins, but management has previously said that it expects to lock down multiple design wins this year as it ramps the Intel 18A process and continues work on the upcoming Intel 14A process.
Apple is one of TSMC's largest customers, and all signs point to the iPhone giant tapping Intel for at least some chip manufacturing. TSMC doesn't have the capacity to fully meet demand, so it's not losing business per se. However, Apple having a second supplier gives the company more leverage when TSMC floats price increases.
While TSMC is printing record profits, the company's era of complete and utter dominance may be slowly coming to an end.

Texas Instruments oznámila ve 2. čtvrtletí tržby 5,46 miliardy USD, čistý zisk 1,98 miliardy USD a EPS 2,14 USD. Tržby meziročně vzrostly o 23 % a společnost očekává ve 3. čtvrtletí tržby 5,65 až 6,15 miliardy USD a EPS 2,23 až 2,57 USD.
Conference call at 3:30 p.m. Central time today on ti.com/ir
, /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today reported second quarter revenue of $5.46 billion, net income of $1.98 billion and earnings per share of $2.14. Earnings per share included a 5-cent benefit that was not in the company's original guidance.
Regarding the company's performance and returns to shareholders, Haviv Ilan, TI's chairman, president and CEO, made the following comments:
"Revenue increased 13% sequentially and 23% from the same quarter a year ago with broad growth led by industrial, data center and automotive. "Our cash flow from operations of $8.7 billion for the trailing 12 months again underscored the strength of our business model, the quality of our product portfolio and the benefit of 300mm production. Free cash flow for the same period was $6.5 billion. "Over the past 12 months we invested $3.9 billion in R&D and SG&A, invested $3.3 billion in capital expenditures and returned $5.8 billion to owners. "TI's third quarter outlook is for revenue in the range of $5.65 billion to $6.15 billion and earnings per share between $2.23 and $2.57." Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from U.S. CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS Act) incentives.

Non-GAAP financial information
This release includes references to free cash flow and ratios based on that measure. These are financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities (also referred to as cash flow from operations) less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from CHIPS Act incentives.
We believe that free cash flow and the associated ratios provide insight into our liquidity, our cash-generating capability and the amount of cash potentially available to return to shareholders, as well as insight into our financial performance. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.
Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the table below.

This release also includes references to operating taxes, a non-GAAP term we use to describe taxes calculated using the estimated annual effective tax rate, a GAAP measure that by definition does not include discrete tax items.

ServiceNow closed 123 transactions worth more than $1 million in net new annual contract value during Q2, an increase of nearly 40% year over year.
The company finished the quarter with 658 customers generating more than $5 million in ACV, up approximately 23%. Total remaining performance obligations increased 21% to $29.0 billion, supported by longer customer commitments and stronger partner demand.
Current remaining performance obligations reached $13.20 billion, also up 21%, providing substantial visibility into revenue expected over the next 12 months.
The deal data reinforces the idea that large enterprises are consolidating more workflows, security functions, and AI deployments onto ServiceNow’s platform.

ServiceNow’s Q2 subscription revenue reached $3.88 billion, exceeding the high end of its guidance by 150 basis points and rising 24.5% year over year.
However, investors should note that part of the upside came from strong U.S. federal demand accelerating some on-premise subscription revenue from Q3 into Q2. That timing benefit helps explain why management expects Q3 subscription revenue growth to moderate to 20.5%.
Q3 cRPO growth is also expected to slow to 19.5% on a reported basis, or 20% in constant currency, compared with 21% reported growth in Q2.
The quarter was fundamentally strong, but the pull-forward means investors should avoid extrapolating all of the Q2 outperformance into the second half of the year.

ServiceNow raised its full-year subscription revenue guidance to between $15.76 and $15.78 billion, representing approximately 22.5% growth.
The previous outlook called for $15.53 billion to $15.57 billion, meaning the midpoint increased by roughly $220 million. Management attributed the raise to stronger-than-expected net new annual contract value.
For Q3, ServiceNow expects subscription revenue of $3.975 billion to $3.980 billion, representing 20.5% reported growth. The company maintained its full-year non-GAAP operating margin target of 31.5% and free cash flow margin target of 35%.
The higher revenue outlook suggests enterprise demand remains durable despite the stock’s steep year-to-date decline.

ServiceNow reached a major AI monetization milestone during Q2, with its AI products surpassing $1 billion in annual contract value.
Management said agentic AI deployments increased ninefold over the past nine months, while AI net new ACV growth continued to exceed its expectations. The company’s AI Control Tower is also driving additional demand across its Security and Risk business.
ServiceNow ultimately expects AI products to generate 30% of companywide ACV by 2030. Crossing $1 billion this early provides tangible evidence that its AI strategy is producing commercial results rather than remaining a long-term promise.

ServiceNow just reported Q2 earnings, with shares initially up 2% following the report. Here are the key numbers:
Revenue: $3.99 billion vs. $3.93 billion expected EPS: $0.90 vs. $0.86 expected Quick Read:
ServiceNow beat expectations on both the top and bottom lines, with revenue rising 24% year over year and 6% sequentially.
EPS increased 10% year over year despite declining 7% from the previous quarter, while the positive initial reaction suggests the results cleared investors’ lowered expectations.

With ServiceNow currently valued at just under $100 billion, McDermott is effectively calling for the company’s market value to increase tenfold within four years. He has also put his own money behind the business, purchasing about $3 million of NOW shares at $107 apiece.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has reportedly suggested ServiceNow could eventually grow 100-fold, while President Trump purchased approximately $5 million of the stock.
Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, OpenAI, and Anthropic are also expanding their partnerships with the enterprise software leader.
The bull case is that ServiceNow is becoming the essential operating system for AI-powered enterprise workflows. Building a custom alternative through “vibe coding” could reportedly cost 5-10x more than adopting ServiceNow’s platform.
After the stock’s brutal decline, investors now face a remarkable question: Is ServiceNow one of the strongest buying opportunities in the market?

Several wildcards could swing tonight’s reaction for ServiceNow’s (NYSE:NOW) Q2 earnings.
Security Exploit in the Wild A critical sandbox-escape flaw, CVE-2026-6875 with a CVSS score of 9.5, is being actively exploited, and 31% of tested instances exposed data without credentials.
Management commentary on remediation costs is a swing factor.
Pricing Pull-Forward A new pricing model effective July 1, 2026, triggered early renewals, which Jefferies flagged and KeyBanc cited in its Underweight, $85 target.
cRPO strength could potentially be borrowed from the upcoming Q3 quarter.
Mix Shift and M&A Drag Self-hosted-to-hosted conversion carries a ~150bps subscription headwind, while Armis, Veza, and Moveworks integration adds noise.
Options positioning is calm, with a full-chain put/call ratio of 0.54.

ServiceNow reports Q2 FY2026 earnings at 4:10 PM ET tonight after the closing bell, with shares down 33.38% year to date.
The central question is whether the company’s underlying growth remains strong enough to justify a rebound. Revenue is still growing 22.1%, while Now Assist net new annual contract value more than doubled year over year in Q4, keeping the company’s $1 billion AI target within reach.
Investors will also measure the results against ServiceNow’s FY2026 subscription revenue guidance of $15.53 billion to $15.57 billion. Current remaining performance obligations, or cRPO, will be one of the most important indicators of future demand.
Wall Street remains firmly bullish, with 43 buy ratings, only one sell rating, and an average price target of $141.64. A strong cRPO result could reestablish ServiceNow as a durable software compounder.
ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) reports Q2 FY2026 earnings results tonight at 4:10 PM ET after today’s close. With shares down 46.84% over the past year and trading at $95.61, this earnings report carries unusual weight for Bill McDermott’s AI narrative.
Momentum Meets a Reset in Sentiment ServiceNow closed out fiscal year 2025 in a big way. Revenue hit $3.568B (+20.66% YoY), subscription revenue reached $3.466B (+21% YoY), and cRPO climbed to $12.85B, up 25%. Free cash flow of $2.0B pushed Q4 FCF margin to 57%.
However, the stock’s performance tells a different story. A 5-for-1 split took effect December 2025, and shares have since compressed, sitting roughly 55% below the 52-week high of $210.20. The stock’s forward P/E of 25 reflects that reset. Reddit’s r/stockmarket flagged the disconnect, noting NOW has been “growing free cash flow per share by over 20% per year for over a decade.”
Consensus Estimates Metric Q2 FY26 Guide YoY FY26 Guide Subscription Revenue N/A (Q1 guide: $3,650M-$3,655M) ~21.5% GAAP $15,530M-$15,570M Non-GAAP Op Margin Q1: 31.5% expanding 32% FCF Margin (FY) – – 36% Growth is expected to hold in the low 20s, but a ~150bps self-hosted-to-hosted mix headwind and ~100bps Moveworks drag weigh on Q1 optics. That means any softening in cRPO could suggest deceleration is coming.
What I’m Watching: AI Monetization, Margins, and M&A Tonight, I’ll be watching how ServiceNow frames Now Assist against the $1B ACV target originally set for 2026. Q4’s 244 transactions above $1M in net new ACV raised the bar, and repeat traction here anchors the agentic AI thesis.
Investors will also focus on subscription gross margin, which slipped to 82.5% in Q4 from 84.5% on AI infrastructure spend. FY26 is guided to 82%, so any further slippage complicates the operating margin path to 32%.
Integration cadence for Moveworks and the pending Armis and Veza acquisitions are also important factors. So does U.S. Federal commentary given upcoming agency budget tightening.

ServiceNow oznámil silný rozmach ve veřejném sektoru ve téměř všech 50 státech USA pro svou AI platformu. V Raleighu agenti AI už autonomně řeší téměř polovinu IT požadavků.
Nearly all 50 U.S. states join ~90% of the Fortune 500 in putting AI to work with the ServiceNow AI Platform
California, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C. are among the state and local agencies using ServiceNow to improve citizen experiences and modernize operations
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI control tower for business reinvention, today announced strong momentum in the public sector, with nearly all 50 U.S. states transforming mission outcomes with the ServiceNow AI Platform. State and local agencies in California, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C. are among those using the ServiceNow AI Platform to help deliver better citizen services and modernized operations on a trusted and integrated government-grade platform designed for the scale and efficiency public sector missions demand.
With the ServiceNow AI Platform, we're creating one unified front door for employee requests, so our workforce can spend less time navigating systems and more time serving the District.
ShareTurning government complexity into coordinated action
ServiceNow helps state and local governments modernize operations, unlock the value of their data, and strengthen cybersecurity, designed to deliver strong ROI on every dollar invested. With an autonomous workforce of AI specialists, employees gain a teammate to work alongside them—helping to cut wait times on things like permits, benefits, and constituent requests—all while maintaining government-grade security across any cloud, AI model, data source, and system.
“State and local leaders are redefining what government can deliver, and ServiceNow is proud to be the platform making it possible,” said Mike Hurt, group vice president of U.S. Public Sector at ServiceNow. “We bring AI that's governed by design through our AI Control Tower, built to scale across agency missions, and designed to keep humans in the loop so agencies can earn and keep the citizen trust their missions depend on.”
Putting AI to work for mission-critical services
State and local agencies are achieving durable value ROI from the ServiceNow AI Platform, including:
California: The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) is using ServiceNow’s AI-powered Public Sector Digital Services to provide AI assistance to human call center agents and agentic AI ticket resolution to help manage thousands of calls and questions related to services they provide: low-interest rate home loans, down payment assistance, and financing for the development of affordable rental and ownership housing. With ServiceNow’s multi-channel self-service capabilities, auto-generated case summaries, and AI-powered case resolution, CalHFA has reduced costs while improving the citizen experience.Hawaii: Launched the ServiceNow AI Platform in just six weeks, establishing a shared enterprise service platform for the State of Hawaii. The platform reflects the State's vision for digital transformation. Today, it powers the statewide HIP help desk, AI-enabled self-service, knowledge management, and enterprise IT service management, creating a scalable foundation for future statewide adoption.North Carolina: The City of Raleigh became the first municipal government to deploy ServiceNow’s L1 AI Specialist in production, with no in-house AI engineering bench behind it. The city is using ServiceNow AI agents to route service tickets with precision and speed, cutting service desk costs by 66% and returning more than 1,300 staff hours a year. Now they’re extending that same AI-powered service to all 500,000 residents.Washington, D.C.: The Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) is replacing a patchwork of contact center and workflow tools with the ServiceNow AI Platform, using EmployeeWorks to give every DC Government employee a single conversational entry point for service requests and agentic AI to automate fulfillment on the backend. The new experience is expected to enable employees to resolve most routine requests on their own, reducing wait times and allowing IT and HR teams to focus on more complex work. OCTO is also extending the platform to grants management with Public Sector Digital Services, targeting reducing processing time in half and clearer visibility for agencies overseeing awards. OCTO also plans to use ServiceNow AI Control Tower to gain visibility into every AI model and agent in production, helping govern AI at scale.“Our ServiceNow AI Platform represents the new path we're charting for the future of government in Hawaii,” said Darren Cantrill, information system manager, State of Hawaii. “In just six weeks, we built a shared enterprise service platform that's already changing how agencies collaborate and how quickly we can respond to the people we serve. This is just the beginning of our modernization journey, creating a foundation that agencies across Hawaii can continue to build upon.”
“We are a long-time ServiceNow customer and we've continued to expand our use of the platform to transform how we serve both employees and our community,” said Mark Wittenburg, chief information officer, City of Raleigh. “Today, ServiceNow AI agents are autonomously resolving nearly half of our IT support requests, and our goal is to reach 85% as we continue to automate routine work and empower our teams to focus on more complex, high-value services. Together, we're building a more efficient, responsive government while taking a thoughtful, responsible approach to AI that puts people first.”
“Our goal is to make DC Government simpler on the front end and smarter on the back end,” said Stephen N. Miller, chief technology officer, the District of Columbia. “With the ServiceNow AI Platform, we're creating one unified front door for employee requests, so our workforce can spend less time navigating systems and more time serving the District. On that same platform, we're reimagining grants management, where we expect to reduce processing time by 60 percent. All of this is built on the foundation of DC's AI Values—and with AI Control Tower giving us visibility across every AI agent and model in production, we're building government that's simpler, faster, and more trusted.”

July 22 (Reuters) - ServiceNow (NOW.N), opens new tab on Wednesday raised its forecast for annual subscription revenue for the second time after beating second-quarter revenue and profit estimates, driven by growing demand for its AI-powered software.
Shares of ServiceNow rose over 5% in volatile extended trading. They have fallen about 37% so far this year.
The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
The results come as software giants are grappling with concerns of a "SaaSpocalypse" - a term reflecting the gloom around software-as-a-service companies amid growing capabilities of new AI tools provided by startups like OpenAI and Anthropic.
But ServiceNow is expanding its AI agent portfolio across domains like IT and customer service, helping enterprise clients to automate complex, time-consuming workflows.
Earlier this year, ServiceNow launched Otto, an AI experience designed to handle requests from employees and complete complex cross-department workflows. It also enhanced its capabilities by acquiring cybersecurity startup Armis and AI startup Moveworks.
ServiceNow said its AI platform has seen widespread adoption across the public sector, with nearly all 50 U.S. states now using it to improve citizen services and modernize operations.
The company now expects full-year 2026 subscription revenue of $15.760 billion to $15.780 billion, up from its earlier projection of $15.735 billion to $15.775 billion.
Second-quarter subscription revenue of $3.88 billion and adjusted profit per share of 90 cents exceeded LSEG-compiled analysts' average estimates of $3.82 billion and 85 cents, respectively.
However, the company's forecast for third-quarter subscription revenue of $3.975 billion to $3.980 billion came in below the average estimate of about $4 billion.
ServiceNow said its current remaining performance obligations, contract revenue expected to be recognized within the next 12 months, hit $13.20 billion as of June 30, a 21% increase from a year earlier.
"Our $29 billion in remaining performance obligations is fueled by longer customer commitments and skyrocketing demand from our partner ecosystem," CEO Bill McDermott said in a statement.

Management Commentary
“Reliance delivered another excellent quarter, building on the positive momentum of the first quarter,” said Karla Lewis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Reliance. “Market conditions remained constructive, supported by improving customer activity, extended mill lead times, and strong pricing across our broad product portfolio. We achieved the second highest quarterly revenue in our history, as well as record quarterly tons sold, and continued to outperform industry shipment trends. In April, we began to see initial contributions from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security border wall contract we were awarded earlier this year with activity levels well above our expectations delivering a meaningful contribution to our second quarter earnings. Elevated pricing levels, along with strong execution by our teams, also drove meaningful growth in our profitability, including a 40% increase in non-GAAP pretax income year-over-year and non-GAAP earnings per share of $6.27, our highest results since the second quarter of 2023.”
Mrs. Lewis continued, “Our balance sheet and liquidity remain key competitive advantages, supporting disciplined capital deployment including strategic growth investments and ongoing returns to stockholders. Additionally, our scale, processing expertise, and strong mill partnerships are increasingly important as lead times extend and inventories tighten, ensuring dependable material availability and positioning us to better serve our existing customers and capture new opportunities. As customer optimism builds and activity strengthens across infrastructure, semiconductor, general manufacturing and aerospace, Reliance remains exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on the many meaningful opportunities that will continue to emerge throughout the second half of 2026 and into next year.”
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Earnings per share of $6.29 and non‑GAAP earnings per share of $6.27 exceeded the high end of management’s guidance range of $5.15 to $5.35 and were up 42% year-over-year. Results included $1.64 per share of LIFO expense compared to management’s expectation of $0.54, representing an incremental $1.10 per share negative impact, primarily due to higher-than-anticipated carbon steel and aluminum product costs. Earnings also included a $0.41 per share contribution from the U.S. border wall project, more than doubling our expectation of $0.15 to $0.20 per share.
Quarterly tons sold increased 7.0% sequentially, exceeding management’s expectation of a 1.0% to 3.0% increase. Notably, the sequential increase in second quarter tons sold included a 5.1% contribution from the U.S. border wall project. Reliance’s second quarter year-over-year growth in tons sold of 10.8% outperformed the industry-wide increase of 5.5% reported by the Metals Service Center Institute (“MSCI”) by over 5 percentage points.
Average selling price per ton sold increased 7.8% sequentially, also surpassing management’s expectation of a 1.5% to 3.5% increase, supported by higher carbon steel and aluminum pricing. The U.S. border wall project impacted our product mix, offsetting the sequential growth in average selling price per ton sold by 1.6% due to higher than anticipated shipment levels during the quarter.
Gross profit dollars per ton continued to rise across the majority of our product categories. However, gross profit margin of 28.1% decreased 100 basis points sequentially mainly due to increased LIFO expense and the impact of the border wall project. Excluding LIFO, non‑GAAP FIFO gross profit margin, which represents management’s ongoing assessment of operating performance, increased sequentially to 30.5% from 30.1% in the first quarter of 2026, including the negative impact of 40 basis points attributable to the U.S. border wall project. Importantly, the project’s below-average operating costs per ton more than offset its impact on gross profit margin, adding approximately 30 basis points of expansion to pretax income margin in the second quarter.
Higher shipments and improved gross profit dollars per ton, supported by strong pricing discipline, continued market share gains, and contributions from the U.S. border wall project, drove strong growth in pretax income of 41% year-over-year to $429.8 million.
End Market Commentary
Non-residential construction demand (including infrastructure), Reliance’s largest end market by tons, improved compared to the second quarter of 2025. The Company expects non-residential construction demand to continue to improve, with potential headwinds from supply availability in the third quarter of 2026, supported by strong activity across data centers, energy infrastructure, and public infrastructure projects.
Demand across the broader manufacturing end market Reliance serves improved compared to the second quarter of 2025, supported by continued strength in industrial machinery, shipbuilding, military, consumer products and construction machinery sectors. The Company anticipates demand for its products across the broader manufacturing sector will remain healthy in the third quarter of 2026 and experience its customary seasonal decline from the second quarter.
Demand in aerospace improved compared to the second quarter of 2025. Reliance anticipates commercial aerospace demand to modestly improve in the third quarter of 2026 with gradual build-rate increases and growing backlogs supporting continued improvement throughout the year. Demand in the defense and space related portions of Reliance’s aerospace business is expected to remain robust in the third quarter of 2026.
Demand for the toll processing services Reliance provides to the automotive market improved from the second quarter of 2025. The Company expects demand for automotive toll processing to remain relatively steady at healthy levels in the third quarter of 2026. Reliance’s toll processing operations remain flexible and able to quickly adapt to the variable demands of the automotive market.
Demand for certain products Reliance sells into the semiconductor market meaningfully improved compared to the second quarter of 2025 supported by increasing data center activity. The Company anticipates demand for its semiconductor products will continue to improve in the third quarter of 2026.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Stockholder Returns
As of June 30, 2026, Reliance had $235.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $1.7 billion, including $520 million outstanding under its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. We generated $162.2 million of cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2026, despite a significant working capital increase related to strong shipment volume and higher metals pricing.
Reliance returned $63.8 million to stockholders through dividend payments in the second quarter of 2026. Although no shares were repurchased during the second quarter, Reliance has repurchased $3.4 billion of its common stock since 2021 at an average price of approximately $234 per share, reducing shares outstanding by 22%. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $529 million remained available under our share repurchase program.
On July 17, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.25 per share of common stock, payable on August 28, 2026 to stockholders of record as of August 14, 2026.
Third Quarter 2026 Business Outlook
Reliance anticipates third quarter 2026 demand and pricing to remain generally consistent at healthy to improving levels across the key products and end markets it serves, despite ongoing domestic and international trade policy uncertainty and the continued conflict in Iran, which could pose supply availability and macroeconomic risks.
Excluding the impact of the border wall project, the Company expects third quarter tons sold to be down 2% to 4% compared to the second quarter of 2026 due to normal seasonality and average selling price per ton sold to be up 1% to 3%.
Including an estimated 2% sequential and 7.5% year-over-year contribution from the U.S. border wall project, we anticipate tons sold will be up 9% to 11% compared to the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, we anticipate our average selling price per ton sold in the third quarter to be flat to up 2.0% compared to the second quarter of 2026, which includes an estimated mix-related 1% reduction in consolidated average selling price per ton sold attributable to the U.S. border wall project.
Based on these assumptions, and inclusive of LIFO expense of $75.0 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, the Company anticipates non‑GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $6.40 to $6.60 for the third quarter of 2026, representing year‑over‑year growth ranging from 76% to 81%. This outlook includes approximately $0.60 of earnings per share from shipments associated with the U.S. border wall project at pretax income margin levels above the Company average.

These non‑GAAP measures reflect adjustments for certain items, including impairment and restructuring charges related to the closure or reorganization of certain locations, non-recurring settlement charges and credits, and gains on the sale of non‑core property, plant and equipment, which can reduce the comparability of GAAP results across periods.
Reliance uses first‑in, first‑out (“FIFO”) gross profit, margin, and other FIFO‑based non-GAAP performance measures to assess its ongoing operating performance and provide a basis for comparison with competitors that do not use the last‑in, first‑out (“LIFO”) inventory accounting method. See footnote 1 for additional information regarding the Company’s gross profit and gross profit margin. In addition, Reliance presents net debt‑to‑EBITDA and total debt‑to‑EBITDA as measures of leverage used by management to monitor debt levels relative to operating performance, for which EBITDA is used as a proxy. Free cash flow is presented as a measure of cash generated by operations that may be used to repay scheduled debt maturities, fund additional growth initiatives, or be returned to stockholders. Footnotes 1 Gross profit (calculated as net sales less cost of sales) and gross profit margin (calculated as gross profit divided by net sales) are non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude depreciation and amortization expense associated with the corresponding sales. About half of Reliance's orders are basic distribution with no processing services performed. For the remainder of its sales orders, Reliance performs “first-stage” processing, which is generally not labor intensive as it is simply cutting the metal to size. Because of this, the amount of related labor and overhead, including depreciation and amortization, is not significant and is excluded from cost of sales. Therefore, Reliance’s cost of sales is substantially comprised of the cost of the material it sells. Reliance uses gross profit and gross profit margin, as shown, as measures of operating performance. Gross profit and gross profit margin are important operating and financial measures, as their fluctuations can have a significant impact on Reliance's earnings. Gross profit and gross profit margin, as presented, are not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies.2 See accompanying Non-GAAP Reconciliation.

3 Multi-Metal Stocks for Income and Long-Term GrowthSouthern Copper NYSE: SCCO reported record quarterly sales, adjusted EBITDA and net income for the second quarter of 2026, as sharply higher metals prices offset lower copper production in Peru, Chief Financial Officer Raúl Jacob Ruisánchez told investors on the company’s earnings call.
Jacob, Southern Copper’s vice president of finance, treasurer and CFO, said the company’s results reflected “operating excellence” amid sustained demand for copper and its by-products. He was joined on the call by Leonardo Contreras, Southern Copper’s CEO and board member.

Copper Cools After Record January—But This ETF Is a Buy-the-Dip OpportunitySales for the quarter rose 41% year over year to $4.3 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion from the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA reached a record $2.96 billion, up 60% from $1.79 billion a year earlier, while adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 67% from 59%. Net income rose 72% to a record $1.67 billion, compared with $973 million in the prior-year quarter. Net income margin increased to 39% from 32%.
For the first six months of 2026, adjusted EBITDA rose 58% to $5.57 billion, while net income was 69% higher than in the same period of 2025. Cash flow from operating activities totaled $3.68 billion in the first half, up 117% year over year, which Jacob attributed to stronger operating cash generation from higher sales and a $719 million decrease in operating asset and liability requirements.
Higher Metals Prices Drive Revenue Growth The Copper Barbell: How to Profit From the Shortage—and Avoid the Dilution TrapJacob said the London Metal Exchange copper price averaged $6.04 per pound in the second quarter, up 30% from $4.32 per pound in the same quarter of 2025. COMEX copper averaged $6.16 per pound, up 31% year over year. Based on current supply and demand dynamics, Southern Copper estimates a slight copper market deficit for 2026.
Global copper inventories across London Metal Exchange, COMEX, Shanghai and London warehouses totaled 1.123 million tons as of July 21, which Jacob said represented roughly 15 days of global demand.
Copper represented 73% of Southern Copper’s sales in the quarter. Copper sales increased 38% despite a 1.5% decline in volume, reflecting the higher pricing environment. Among by-products, molybdenum sales rose 34%, zinc sales increased 24% and silver sales climbed 86%, with all three benefiting from higher prices that were partially offset by lower volumes.
Molybdenum prices averaged $29.44 per pound, up 43% from the prior-year quarter, while silver prices averaged $73.49 per ounce, up 118%. Zinc averaged $1.57 per pound, a 31% increase from the second quarter of 2025.
Production Falls in Peru, Rises in Mexico Southern Copper produced 230,662 tons of copper in the second quarter, down 3.5% from the same period last year. Jacob said the decline reflected a 12% drop in production in Peru, mainly due to lower ore grades and recoveries at Toquepala and Cuajone. That was partially offset by a 3.2% increase in Mexican operations, driven by higher production at Buenavista, La Caridad and Inca.
In response to a question from Barclays analyst Richard Garchitorena, Jacob said the lower production was mainly tied to ore grades at Cuajone, which translated into about 35,000 tons of lower copper production, with the remaining decline coming from Toquepala. He said Southern Copper now expects to produce 917,000 tons of copper in 2026, above its initial plan of about 910,000 tons.
Molybdenum production fell 11% year over year due to lower ore grades at all mines, though the company now expects to produce 27,900 tons in 2026, 7% above its initial plan. Silver production declined 4% in the quarter, despite higher output at La Caridad and Inca, because of lower production at Toquepala, Cuajone and Buenavista. Southern Copper expects to meet its plan to produce 24 million ounces of silver this year. Mine zinc production fell 14% to 39,250 tons, and the company expects 2026 zinc production of 163,900 tons.
Jacob said he expects sales volumes to improve somewhat in the second half of the year as material processed in the first half becomes available for sale.
Costs Rise, but Margins Improve Total operating costs and expenses increased $202 million, or 14%, from the second quarter of 2025. Jacob cited higher operating materials, purchased copper, diesel and fuel, workers’ participation, translation differences and other factors. These were partly offset by lower repair materials and inventory consumption.
Southern Copper reported operating cash costs before by-product credits of $2.29 in the second quarter, down $0.02 from the first quarter. Including by-product credits, operating cash costs were $0.05, compared with negative $0.11 in the first quarter. Jacob said the company still considered that “an excellent mark.”
By-product credits totaled $1.11 billion, or $2.24, in the second quarter, down 7% from the first quarter. Credits increased for molybdenum and zinc but declined for silver and sulfuric acid.
Capital Projects Advance in Peru and Mexico Southern Copper’s capital investment program for the decade exceeds $20.5 billion, including projects in Peru and Mexico. The company spent $423 million on capital investments in the second quarter, up 79% year over year, and $865 million in the first half, up 56% from the prior-year period.
In Peru, Jacob said the company remains committed to advancing Tia Maria, Los Chancas and Michiquillay, which together represent about $10.3 billion of investment. At Tia Maria in Arequipa, the project was 42% complete at the end of June, with 5,817 new jobs created, including 1,254 filled by local applicants. Jacob said mass earthworks were in their final stage and civil works and steel structure assembly had begun in key facilities.
Goldman Sachs analyst Emerson Vieira asked about the desalination plant for Tia Maria and potential delays. Jacob said purchase orders and contracts were being placed for major equipment, including the desalination plant, and that the company did not currently expect a delay.
At Los Chancas in Apurímac, Jacob said illegal miners remain in the project area despite enforcement efforts, hindering progress. At Michiquillay in Cajamarca, reserve estimation, mine planning, hydrologic and hydrogeological assessments, and technical research are underway.
In Mexico, Jacob said El Pilar in Sonora has received the necessary environmental permits and will begin early site preparation work in September. Construction is expected to start in the first quarter of 2027, with production projected for the second half of 2029. The $551 million open-pit project is expected to produce 36,000 tons of copper cathode annually over an 18-year mine life.
Debt Issuance and Dividend Southern Copper issued $1.25 billion of 10-year fixed-rate senior unsecured notes on June 24, due in 2036 with a 5.35% annual interest rate. Jacob said demand totaled $4 billion, or 3.2 times the amount issued. Proceeds will be used by Southern Peru Copper Corporation to develop Tia Maria, finance its capital expenditure program and for general corporate purposes.
The company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $1.10 per share and a stock dividend of 0.012 shares per common share, payable Aug. 27 to shareholders of record as of Aug. 11. Jacob said the total estimated dividend payment, including the cash dividend and equivalent value of the stock dividend, was $3.23 per share.
Looking ahead, Jacob said Southern Copper expects 2027 copper production to be roughly in line with 2026, with some contribution from Tia Maria late in the year. He said production is expected to rise to about 970,000 tons in 2028 and exceed 1 million tons in 2029, supported by Tia Maria, El Pilar and improved ore grades. The company’s longer-term goal remains more than 1.6 million tons of copper by 2033 or 2034 through organic growth.

Accordingly, the Company believes a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the equivalent GAAP financial measures for these projected results is not meaningful or available without unreasonable effort.
3Based on market prices as of July 17, 2026. Fuel cost per gallon includes fuel taxes and fuel hedging net premium expense of $0.05 per gallon related to terminated fuel derivative contracts.
4Net capital expenditures include the impact of aircraft sales and sale-leaseback transactions.

NOTE REGARDING USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These GAAP financial statements include (i) unrealized noncash reclassifications, as a result of accounting requirements and elections previously made under accounting pronouncements relating to derivative instruments and hedging and (ii) other charges and benefits the Company considers unusual and/or infrequent in nature and thus may make comparisons to its prior or future performance difficult.
Accordingly, the Company also provides financial information in this filing that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial information (also referred to as "excluding special items"). Management believes special items can distort the trends associated with the Company's ongoing performance. Therefore, management utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance, anticipate future operating results, and assess trends without the impact of items that can vary significantly from period to period. The following measures are often provided, excluding special items, and are utilized by the Company's management, analysts, and investors to enhance comparability of year-over-year results, as well as to industry trends: Operating revenues, non-GAAP; Total operating expenses, non-GAAP; Operating expenses, non-GAAP excluding Aircraft fuel and related taxes expense; Operating expenses, non-GAAP excluding Aircraft fuel and related taxes expense and profit sharing; Operating income, non-GAAP; Adjusted Operating income, non-GAAP; Income before income taxes, non-GAAP; Provision for income taxes, net, non-GAAP; Net income, non-GAAP; Net income per share, diluted, non-GAAP; Operating revenues per ASM, non-GAAP (cents); Operating expenses per ASM, non-GAAP, excluding Aircraft fuel and related taxes expense and profit sharing (cents); Return on invested capital, non-GAAP; adjusted operating margin; adjusted net margin; and gross leverage.
For the periods presented, special items include:
Charges associated with tentative litigation settlements regarding paid short-term military leave to certain Employees; Expenses associated with professional advisory fees related to the Company's implementation of its comprehensive transformational plan; Charges associated with Employee severance and other related payments resulting from corporate workforce reductions; Reversal of breakage revenue recorded in prior years related to a portion of non-expiring flight credits issued to Customers between July 2022 and December 2025 that have either been redeemed or are expected to be redeemed in future periods; Non-cash impairment charges to remove certain assets from the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet that are no longer in use; Expenses associated with incremental professional advisory fees related to activist investor activities, which were not budgeted by the Company or associated with the ongoing operation of the airline; Incremental expense associated with a voluntary separation program that allowed eligible Employees the opportunity to voluntarily separate from the Company in exchange for severance, medical/dental coverage for a specified period of time, and travel privileges based on years of service; and A charge associated with a settlement reached with the Department of Transportation ("DOT") as a result of the Company's December 2022 operational disruption. The Company has also provided its calculation of return on invested capital, which is a measure of financial performance used by management to evaluate its investment returns on capital. Return on invested capital is not a substitute for financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP and should not be utilized in place of such GAAP results. Return on invested capital is not a measure defined by GAAP. It is calculated by the Company, in part, using non-GAAP financial measures, which include charges or benefits that are deemed "special items." As noted above, the Company believes "special items" make it difficult to compare to prior periods, anticipated future periods, or industry trends since these items cannot be reliably predicted or estimated. The Company believes non-GAAP return on invested capital is a meaningful measure because it quantifies the Company's effectiveness in generating returns relative to the capital it has invested in its business. Although return on invested capital is commonly used as a measure of capital efficiency, definitions of return on invested capital differ; therefore, the Company is providing an explanation of its calculation for non-GAAP return on invested capital in the accompanying reconciliation in order to allow investors to compare and contrast its calculation to the calculations provided by other companies.

(a) Net adjustment to reflect all aircraft in fleet as owned (i.e., the impact of eliminating aircraft rent expense and replacing with estimated depreciation expense for those same aircraft). The Company makes this adjustment to enhance comparability to other entities that have different capital structures by utilizing alternative financing decisions.
(b) Calculated as an average of the five most recent quarter end balances or remaining obligations. The Net present value of aircraft operating leases represents the assumption that all aircraft in the Company's fleet are owned, as it reflects the remaining contractual commitments discounted at the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate as of the time each individual lease was signed.
(c) The Equity adjustment in the denominator adjusts for the cumulative impacts, in Accumulated other comprehensive income and Retained earnings, of gains and/or losses that will settle in future periods, including those associated with the Company's terminated fuel hedges. The current period impact of these gains and/or losses is reflected in the Net impact from fuel contracts in the numerator.
(d) The GAAP twelve month rolling tax rate as of June 30, 2026, was 21.5 percent, and the Non-GAAP twelve month rolling tax rate was 22.4 percent. See Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information.
(e) The GAAP twelve month rolling tax rate as of June 30, 2025, was 22.3 percent, and the Non-GAAP twelve month rolling tax rate was 22.6 percent. See Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information.
The Company has also provided gross leverage, which is calculated as adjusted debt divided by trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDAR. Leverage, adjusted debt, and adjusted EBITDAR are non-GAAP measures of financial performance. Management believes these supplemental measures can provide a more accurate view of the Company's leverage and risk, since they consider the Company's debt and debt-like obligation profile. Leverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts, and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating, and investment recommendations of companies. Although adjusted debt, adjusted EBITDAR, and leverage ratios are commonly-used financial measures, definitions of each differ; therefore, the Company is providing an explanation of its calculations for non-GAAP adjusted debt and adjusted EBITDAR in the accompanying reconciliation below in order to allow investors to compare and contrast its calculations to the calculations provided by other companies.

Record quarterly revenue of $3.94 billion, up 10% year-over-year; diluted EPS of $0.54, up 23%Operating income of $1.51 billion, up 17%; operating margin expanded 240 bps to 38.3%Volume increased 6% with broad-based growth across markets led by 9% intermodal growth JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSX Corp. (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced second quarter 2026 operating income of $1.51 billion and net earnings of $1.00 billion, or $0.54 per diluted share. In the second quarter of 2025, the company reported operating income of $1.28 billion and net earnings of $829 million, or $0.44 per diluted share. On a year-over-year basis, operating income increased 17%, net earnings increased 21%, and EPS increased 23%.
Total volume of 1.68 million units for the quarter was 6% higher compared to second quarter 2025. Revenue totaled $3.94 billion for the quarter, increasing 10% year-over-year, due to increased fuel surcharge revenue together with higher volume and pricing across merchandise, intermodal, and coal.
“Our second quarter results reflect the solid progress we’re making at CSX. Our railroaders successfully managed substantial volume growth while maintaining a consistent focus on safety and productivity, which allowed us to deliver improved financial performance,” said Steve Angel, president and chief executive officer. “As we move into the second half of the year, we will strengthen our service execution as we continue to build momentum across the business.”

CSX also uses social media channels to communicate information about the company. Although social media channels are not intended to be the primary method of disclosure for material information, it is possible that certain information CSX posts on social media could be deemed to be material.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
CSX reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. GAAP.

The presentation of these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as superior to the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Alphabet ve 2. čtvrtletí překonal odhady zisku i tržeb; cloudové tržby vyskočily o 82 % na 24,77 miliardy USD. Měsíční počet aktivních uživatelů aplikace Gemini dosáhl 950 milionů.
První zástupce big techu se v aktuální výsledkové sezoně vytasil se silnými čísly. Alphabet překonal svým hospodařením za druhé čtvrtletí odhady analytiků jak v případě zisku, tak i tržeb. Výrazně lépe oproti očekávání si vedla také cloudová divize, jejíž tempo růstu nadále prudce zrychluje. Mírným zklamáním naopak je hlavní byznys spojený s internetovým vyhledáváním.
Nejprve k hlavním číslům: Upravený zisk na akcii činil 9,11 dolaru, což je výrazné překročení prognózy Wall Street ve výši 2,90 dolarů. Stojí za tím masivní zisky v kategorii „ostatní příjmy“ ve výši bezmála 98 miliard dolarů, které zahrnují podíly ve společnostech Anthropic a SpaceX. Celkové tržby vzrostly meziročně o 24 procent na 119,80 miliardy dolarů při konsenzu 116,9 mld. USD.
Investory bedlivě sledovaná cloudová divize, jež odráží poptávku po AI infrastruktuře a AI řešeních, se rovněž činila, když na tržbách vygenerovala 24,77 miliardy dolarů, což jednak představuje působivý meziroční růst o 82 procent a jednak výrazné překonání konsenzu analytiků, kteří podle dat agentury Bloomberg počítali s tržbami „jen“ kolem 22,46 mld. USD.
Měsíční počet aktivních uživatelů aplikace Gemini dosáhl 950 milionů, což je oproti odhadům o 30 milionů více. „Gemini je nyní jen kousek od toho, aby se stal třetím produktem od Googlu s umělou inteligencí pro spotřebitele s miliardou uživatelů, vedle AI Overviews a AI Mode,“ podotkl pro Bloomberg hlavní analytik společnosti Emarketer Nate Elliott.
Naopak reklamní příjmy z vyhledávání, které jsou nadále nejvýznamnějším zdrojem tržeb společnosti, dosáhly 63,27 miliardy dolarů. To je nepatrně pod očekáváním trhu (63,28 mld. USD).
Společnost dále uvedla, že kapitálové výdaje ve druhém čtvrtletí dosáhly 44,92 miliardy dolarů, což překonalo očekávání Wall Street (44,15 mld. USD). Alphabet letos plánuje rekordní kapitálové výdaje, aby mohl soutěžit v závodě umělé inteligence, přičemž investoři (nejen Alphabetu, nýbrž technologických gigantů obecně) sledují, zda tyto výdaje pohánějí nový růst, nebo v konečném důsledku omezí ziskovost.
Akcie Alphabetu bezprostředně po zveřejnění výsledků v aftermarketu ztrácely přibližně půl procenta.

Management Commentary:
Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Interparfums, stated, “Consolidated sales rose 2% in the second quarter to $341 million, bringing first half net sales to $686 million, also up 2% from the prior year period. The diversity of our overall brand portfolio again showed its strength as we saw strong growth from several of our larger brands which helped offset softness in other brands and geographies. The war in the Middle East, which again weighed on our results, represented a headwind of 3% in the second quarter and 2% for the first 6 months of the year. Excluding this effect, organic sales increased 4% in the second quarter and 1% for the first 6 months of the year.
“Growth in the quarter was driven by an 18% increase in sales by our United States based operations, along with favorable foreign exchange dynamics. While we are very pleased with our U.S. performance, it is important to note that in last year’s second quarter U.S.-based results were adversely impacted by a weak innovation program and tariff generated supply chain disruptions. Conversely, sales from our European based operations declined owing to high growth comparisons to the prior year period, continuing headwinds from the war in the Middle East, and a challenging operating environment in Eastern Europe.
“The fragrance category remains durable despite the macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds weighing on consumers and retail partners alike. We are encouraged by the trajectory of our business at the midpoint of the year and remain cautiously optimistic about the future, drawing on a long history of performing through uncertainty with an evolving portfolio of exciting brands, disciplined execution, and a pipeline of robust innovation.”
European Based Operations
Mr. Madar continued, “Sales from European based operations declined 4% in the 2026 second quarter, reflecting an organic decline of 5% partially offset by a positive foreign exchange impact of 1%. First half sales were down 1%, despite a 3% positive contribution from foreign exchange.
“Jimmy Choo fragrance sales rebounded strongly after a weak first quarter, rising 23% in the second quarter leading to 8% growth in the first half of 2026. The brand’s fragrances have continued gain traction, particularly in the United States. This performance is supported by the continued success of the I Want Choo women's franchise, launched in 2021, combined with the successful launch of the Jimmy Choo Man Parfum line launched earlier this year.
“Coach fragrance sales declined 8% in the second quarter, reflecting an exceptionally high comparison to last year’s second quarter where brand sales grew 42%. Brand sales rose 10% in the first half of 2026 due to strong performance in the United States, its primary market. Growth has been driven by strong continued demand across most existing lines and by the first shipments of new extensions in the Coach Woman and Coach Man franchises launched earlier this year.
“Montblanc fragrance sales were essentially flat in the second quarter and increased 6% in the first half of the year, driven by favorable exchange rates and the ongoing success of the Montblanc Explorer Extreme line as well as the strength of the Legend franchise which was enhanced by the first quarter launch of Montblanc Legend Elixir. We plan to launch a third franchise in 2027, reflecting our commitment to the brand’s growth through innovation.
“Lacoste fragrance sales declined by 19% and 16% during the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, which followed exceptionally strong respective prior-year period growth of 59% and 44% attributable to a series of highly successful launches in early 2025. Lingering challenges in Eastern Europe also continued to impact the brand’s performance. Our confidence in the brand's future remains strong ahead of several major initiatives planned for 2027 and 2028, which we believe will drive the brand's growth.”
United States Based Operations
Mr. Madar continued, “Sales by our United States operations grew by 18% during the 2026 second quarter reflecting impressive organic growth of 17% off a challenging base in 2025 and a positive foreign exchange impact of 1%. The strong second quarter led to 10% growth in the first half of 2026, which included 8% organic growth and a 2% favorable foreign exchange impact.
“Fragrance sales of GUESS, our largest United States based brand, rose by 10% and 11% during the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively. Growth was driven by the ongoing success of the Iconic franchise, supported by the second quarter launch of Iconic Blue, the newest men’s extension within the franchise. Second quarter growth was also supported by the launch of the newest Amore extension, Amore Napoli.
“Donna Karan/DKNY fragrance sales increased 28% and 12% during the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively. Brand sales growth reflected healthy consumer demand across product categories, fragrance franchises, and strengthening momentum across e-commerce channels.
“Ferragamo fragrance sales increased considerably during the second quarter and first half of 2026, rising 41% and 17%, respectively. This performance, helped by a weaker prior period comparison, was primarily driven by overall strength of the Signorina line thanks to the successful launch of Signorina Romantica, and the Ferragamo line, thanks to the successful launch of Ferragamo Sublime Leather.
“Roberto Cavalli fragrance sales declined 9% in the 2026 second quarter against a very high growth comparison of 23% in the prior year period, and a challenging macro-economic environment in the Middle East which is the brand’s largest market. Despite this challenging macro environment, in the first half of 2026, brand sales increased 8%, driven by new extensions launched earlier this year across multiple fragrance franchises as well as the ongoing success of last year’s blockbuster launch of Serpentine.”
Mr. Madar concluded, “With a rich lineup of fragrance extensions planned for the second half of 2026, a series of blockbuster launches planned for 2027 and 2028, and the proven strength of our business model, we remain well positioned to continue growing as we navigate a dynamic operating environment.”

Matthew Flannery, chief executive officer of United Rentals, said, “As evidenced in our record second-quarter results across EPS, adjusted EBITDA and revenue, 2026 is on track to be a great year for United Rentals. Our growth accelerated in the quarter, customers remain optimistic, particularly around large projects, and we continue to demonstrate strong cost discipline. Our one-stop-shop value proposition, coupled with our technology, service levels, and unwavering focus on safety and customer productivity, continues to differentiate us in the industry.”
Flannery continued, “Looking ahead, I am very pleased that we are again raising our guidance for the year, supported by the tailwinds we see across large projects, customer backlogs, and the momentum witnessed year-to-date. We believe the healthy growth we’ve seen will continue and that we will deliver what our shareholders expect of us: profitable growth, strong free cash flow and compelling returns.”
_______________ 1.
The second quarter 2026 results include a gain of $49 million associated with the sale of part of the company's scaffolding business. The impact of the gain was a $37 million after-tax benefit, or $0.58 per diluted share, to net income and a $49 million benefit to adjusted EBITDA.
2.
Rental revenue includes owned equipment rental revenue, re-rent revenue and ancillary revenue.
3.
Net income margin and adjusted EBITDA margin represent net income or adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.
4.
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted EPS (earnings per share) and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the tables below. See the tables below for reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.
5.
Fleet productivity reflects the combined impact of changes in rental rates, time utilization and mix on owned equipment rental revenue.
6.
The net leverage ratio reflects net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months. Total liquidity reflects cash and cash equivalents plus availability under the asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL facility”) and the accounts receivable securitization facility.

Summary of Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Rental revenue increased 12.7% year-over-year to a quarterly record of $3.849 billion. Average original equipment at cost (“OEC”) increased 7.1% year-over-year, while fleet productivity increased 3.4%. Used equipment sales in the quarter increased 4.1% year-over-year. Used equipment sales generated $330 million of proceeds at a GAAP gross margin of 46.7% and an adjusted gross margin9 of 47.3%, compared to a GAAP gross margin of 46.1% and an adjusted gross margin of 48.3% for the same period last year. The company realized a 52.9% OEC recovery rate on the fleet sold in the second quarter of 2026. Net income for the quarter increased 21.1% year-over-year to a second quarter record of $753 million, while net income margin increased 130 basis points to 17.1%, including the impact of the $37 million net after-tax gain on sale of business discussed in footnote 1 above. Excluding the gain on sale of business, net income margin for the second quarter of 2026 increased 40 basis points year-over-year, primarily due to increased rental gross margin (see below for a discussion of rental gross margin by segment). Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased 13.6% year-over-year to a quarterly record of $2.056 billion, while adjusted EBITDA margin increased 70 basis points to 46.6%, including the $49 million impact of the gain on sale of business discussed above. Excluding the gain on sale of business, adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2026 decreased 40 basis points year-over-year. This margin decline primarily reflects decreased rental gross margin in the specialty rentals segment, attributable to changes in revenue mix driven by growth in lower-margin ancillary and re-rent revenues, partially offset by a reduction in labor and benefits expenses as a percentage of revenue, as discussed below. General rentals segment rental revenue increased 6.6% year-over-year to a quarterly record of $2.418 billion, while rental gross margin increased by 70 basis points year-over-year to 35.8%, primarily due to a reduction in depreciation as a percentage of revenue. Specialty rentals segment rental revenue increased 24.8% year-over-year to a quarterly record of $1.431 billion. Rental gross margin decreased by 140 basis points year-over-year to 44.4%, primarily due to changes in revenue mix driven by growth in lower-margin ancillary and re-rent revenues, partially offset by a reduction in labor and benefits expenses as a percentage of revenue. _______________ 7.
Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort, as discussed below.
8.
Free cash flow excludes restructuring related payments, which cannot be reasonably predicted for the 2026 outlook. Restructuring related payments were $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
9.
Used equipment sales adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact ($2 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively) of the fair value mark-up of fleet acquired in certain major acquisitions that was subsequently sold. This adjustment is explained further in the tables below, and represents the only difference between the GAAP gross margin and the adjusted gross margin.
Cash flow from operating activities increased 20.1% year-over-year to $3.305 billion for the first six months of 2026, and free cash flow, including restructuring related payments, decreased 4.1%, from $1.198 billion to $1.149 billion. Cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow in 2025 both included a $52 million merger termination benefit associated with the terminated H&E acquisition.10 Capital management. The company’s net leverage ratio was 1.8x at June 30, 2026, as compared to 1.9x at December 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the company completed its prior $2.0 billion share repurchase11 program, and commenced its new $5.0 billion share repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the company repurchased $750 million of common stock under these programs, and paid dividends totaling $248 million. The company expects to complete $1.5 billion of share repurchases in 2026. Additionally, the company’s Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $1.97 per share, payable on August 26, 2026 to stockholders of record on August 12, 2026. Total liquidity was $2.999 billion as of June 30, 2026, including $112 million of cash and cash equivalents. Return on invested capital (ROIC)12 was 11.8% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2026. Conference Call
United Rentals will hold a conference call tomorrow, Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference call number is 800-579-2568 (international: 785-424-1222). The replay number for the call is 402-220-7209. The passcode for both the conference call and the replay is 48921. The conference call will also be available live by audio webcast at unitedrentals.com, where it will be archived until the next earnings call.
_______________ 10.
The six months ended June 30, 2025 include the impact of the merger termination benefit associated with the termination of the H&E Equipment Services, Inc. d/b/a H&E Rentals (“H&E”) merger agreement. For further information on this merger termination benefit, see the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 filed with the SEC.
11.
A 1% excise tax is imposed on “net repurchases” (certain purchases minus certain issuances) of common stock. All references to share repurchases above do not include the excise tax, which totaled $6 million year-to-date through June 30, 2026.
12.
The company’s ROIC metric uses after-tax operating income for the trailing 12 months divided by average stockholders’ equity, debt and deferred taxes, net of average cash. To mitigate the volatility related to fluctuations in the company’s tax rate from period to period, the U.S. federal corporate statutory tax rate of 21% was used to calculate after-tax operating income.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Free cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share (adjusted EPS) and used equipment sales adjusted gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the SEC. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less payments for purchases of, and plus proceeds from, equipment and intangible assets. The equipment and intangible asset items are included in cash flows from investing activities. EBITDA represents the sum of net income, provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the sum of the restructuring charges, stock compensation expense, net, and the impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired fleet. Adjusted EPS represents EPS plus the sum of the restructuring charges, the impact on depreciation related to acquired fleet and property and equipment, the impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired fleet, merger related intangible asset amortization and asset impairment charge. Used equipment sales adjusted gross margin excludes the impact of the fair value mark-up of fleet acquired in certain major acquisitions that was subsequently sold (this adjustment is explained further in the adjusted EPS and EBITDA/adjusted EBITDA tables below). The company believes that: (i) free cash flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements; (ii) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period growth, and help investors gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced; (iii) adjusted EPS provides useful information concerning future profitability; and (iv) used equipment sales adjusted gross margin provides information that is useful for evaluating the profitability of used equipment sales without regard to potential distortions. However, none of these measures should be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flows from operating activities, earnings per share or GAAP gross margin from used equipment sales under GAAP as indicators of operating performance or liquidity. See the tables below for further discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort. The company is not able to provide reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort (as specified in the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K). The company provides a range for its adjusted EBITDA forecast that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all the components of the adjusted EBITDA calculation. The company provides an adjusted EBITDA forecast because it believes that adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the company’s results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above. However, adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.

RENTAL REVENUE
Fleet productivity is a comprehensive metric that provides greater insight into the decisions made by our managers in support of growth and returns. Specifically, we seek to optimize the interplay of rental rates, time utilization and mix in driving rental revenue. Fleet productivity aggregates, in one metric, the impact of changes in rates, utilization and mix on owned equipment rental revenue.
We believe that this metric is useful in assessing the effectiveness of our decisions on rates, time utilization and mix, particularly as they support the creation of shareholder value. The table below shows the components of the year-over-year change in rental revenue using the fleet productivity methodology:

ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE GAAP RECONCILIATION
We define “earnings per share – adjusted” as the sum of earnings per share – GAAP, as-reported plus the impact of the following special items: merger related intangible asset amortization, impact on depreciation related to acquired fleet and property and equipment, impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired fleet, restructuring charge and asset impairment charge. See below for further detail on the special items. Management believes that earnings per share - adjusted provides useful information concerning future profitability. However, earnings per share - adjusted is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, earnings per share - adjusted should not be considered an alternative to GAAP earnings per share. The table below provides a reconciliation between earnings per share – GAAP, as-reported, and earnings per share – adjusted.

(6)
Primarily reflects severance and branch closure charges associated with our restructuring programs. We only include such costs that are part of a restructuring program as restructuring charges. The designated restructuring programs generally involve the closure of a large number of branches over a short period of time, often in periods following a major acquisition, and result in significant costs that we would not normally incur absent a major acquisition or other triggering event that results in the initiation of a restructuring program. Since the first such restructuring program was initiated in 2008, we have completed seven restructuring programs and have incurred total restructuring charges of $435 million. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we initiated a restructuring program associated with the consolidation of certain common functions and certain other cost reduction measures, and the charges above were primarily recognized under this program.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
($ in millions, except footnotes)
EBITDA represents the sum of net income, provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment, and non-rental depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the sum of the restructuring charges, stock compensation expense, net, and the impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired fleet. See below for further detail on each adjusting item. These items are excluded from adjusted EBITDA internally when evaluating our operating performance and for strategic planning and forecasting purposes, and allow investors to make a more meaningful comparison between our core business operating results over different periods of time, as well as with those of other similar companies. The net income and adjusted EBITDA margins represent net income or adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliation, provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period growth, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of our core business without regard to potential distortions. Additionally, management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA help investors gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced.

FREE CASH FLOW GAAP RECONCILIATION
(In millions, except footnotes)
We define “free cash flow” as net cash provided by operating activities less payments for purchases of, and plus proceeds from, equipment and intangible assets. The equipment and intangible asset items are included in cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements. However, free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. Accordingly, free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity. The table below provides a reconciliation between net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow.

Presentation
Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to Bank OZK Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions].
Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded.
I would like to turn the conference over to Jay Staley, Managing Director of Investor Relations and Corporate Development. Please go ahead.
Jay Staley
Good morning. I'm Jay Staley, Managing Director of Investor Relations and Corporate Development for Bank OZK. Thank you for joining our call this morning and participating in our question-and-answer session.
In today's Q&A session, we may make forward-looking statements about our expectations, estimates and outlook for the future. Please refer to our earnings release, management comments, financial supplement and other public filings for more information on the various factors and risks that may cause actual results or outcomes to vary from those projected in or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Joining me on the call to take your questions are George Gleason, Chairman and CEO; Brannon Hamblen, President; Tim Hicks, Chief Financial Officer; and Jake Munn, President, Corporate and Institutional Banking.
We'll now open up the lines for your questions. Let me now ask our operator, Michelle, to remind our listeners how to queue in for questions.
Constellation Energy je podle článku lepší volbou pro expozici vůči rostoucí poptávce po jaderné energii díky své rozsáhlé provozované flotile a již uzavřeným kontraktům s Microsoftem a Meta Platforms.
Nuclear energy demand is on the rise, driven by the massive power needs of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Because nuclear power possesses high power density and provides reliable, 24/7 baseload energy, it is increasingly becoming a top choice among major hyperscalers.
In the nuclear energy industry, innovative companies like NuScale Power (SMR -0.57%) have the potential to reimagine nuclear energy deployment with their small modular reactors. Meanwhile, established utilities such as Constellation Energy (CEG +4.66%), with their extensive nuclear fleet, stand ready to meet today's power challenges.
If you're looking to diversify your portfolio with nuclear energy stocks, there are a few key things you need to consider when considering an investment between NuScale Power and Constellation Energy right now.

Next-generation data centers need nuclear power Modern data centers require massive amounts of energy. Training large language models requires running thousands of high-performance graphical processing units (GPUs) for months on end, while AI queries provide steady demand for AI-generated answers. The emergence of autonomous AI agents is another massive driver of non-stop loops that require continuous, reliable operation of AI data centers.
To meet growing AI demand, data center chips are packed into compact clusters that handle parallel computing across billions of variables. Because servers generate significant heat, they also require large liquid-cooling systems that consume substantial energy.
According to Goldman Sachs, U.S. data center power demand could spike to 66 GW and account for up to 8.5% of U.S. peak summer demand by 2027. Bank of America analysts forecast that over the next five years, data centers could add 125 GW of new U.S. electric load, representing a compound annual growth rate of electricity demand of 4.1%.
Hyperscalers like Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft need reliable energy while also meeting their long-term carbon-reduction goals. These data centers can't afford interruptions, which means intermittent wind and solar power need an extra boost, which is where nuclear energy comes into play.
Over the last couple of years, hyperscalers have invested in small modular reactors (SMRs) and nuclear plant restarts to meet these massive future energy demands.
NuScale's small modular reactors could change how nuclear energy is deployed NuScale Power is uniquely positioned in the SMR space, as it is the only company with a Standard Design Approval (SDA) from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for its SMR technology. The company has an SDA for its 50-megawatt (MW) and 77 MW modules, giving it a crucial first-mover advantage in the advanced nuclear reactor space, where NRC approval can be a long and drawn-out process.

The company has one approved project in Romania, where it will look to install 462 MWe using six modules at a former coal plant site. The company received a Final Investment Decision from shareholders and the Romanian government. As part of the deal, NuScale will install one 77 MW module to ensure it is functional, with the remaining five modules contingent on the module proving operational. Operations for this power plant are planned to start in 2033.
Beyond this, NuScale hopes to deploy a massive 6 GW of its power modules with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The company is working closely with ENTRA1 to secure a firm power purchase agreement and hopes to finalize a deal by the end of the year.
Constellation Energy operates the biggest nuclear energy fleet in the U.S. While NuScale is an up-and-coming nuclear energy company with a long timeline until its plants begin operations, Constellation Energy is an established utility company with a massive nuclear energy fleet. Constellation controls 22 GW of U.S. nuclear generation capacity and operates 21 commercial reactors at 12 locations.
Constellation has secured major deals over the past few years. In 2024, the company announced a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Microsoft, which involves the launch of the Crane Clean Energy Center and the restart of Three Mile Island Unit 1. The Crane Clean Energy Center will come online in 2028.

In June of last year, Constellation signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Meta Platforms to provide 1,121 MW of nuclear energy, beginning in June 2027. As part of this agreement, Constellation will relicense and expand its Clinton nuclear facility located in Illinois.
The company also continues to build on its massive energy platform. On July 16, Constellation's venture capital arm, Constellation Technology Ventures, invested in Blue Energy, which builds prefabricated modular nuclear power plant structures off-site and ships them to their final location. The company uses phased delivery, meaning it deploys gas turbines first, which will eventually transition to nuclear plants when reactor installations are completed.
Which stock is a better buy today? NuScale Power has a first-mover advantage with its NRC-approved SMRs. However, the company faces risks from the Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program, in which the DOE is leveraging its authority to reduce red tape and fast-track the testing and licensing of new reactor technologies by competitors.
For investors seeking explosive upside potential, NuScale could be an appealing buy, but it also carries massive risk, as it needs to secure additional contracts and prove it can successfully deploy and commercialize its SMR technology over the coming decade.
In contrast, Constellation Energy has an established fleet of nuclear capacity and is well positioned to benefit from booming energy demand in the near term, making it the better stock for investors looking to gain exposure to the growing nuclear energy industry right now.

On July 14, 2026, First Bancorp announced its pending acquisition of First Carolina Bancshares Corporation, scheduled to close in late 2026 or early 2027. , /PRNewswire/ -- First Bancorp (the "Company") (NASDAQ - FBNC), the parent company of First Bank, reported unaudited second quarter earnings today. The Company reported net income of $50.5 million, or $1.22 diluted earnings per share ("D-EPS"), for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $46.7 million, or $1.13 D-EPS, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 ("linked quarter") and $38.6 million, or $0.93 D-EPS, for the second quarter of 2025 ("like quarter").
On July 14, 2026, the Company announced an agreement to acquire First Carolina Bancshares Corporation ("First Carolina"), and its subsidiary, Carolina Bank & Trust Company ("Carolina Bank") headquartered in Florence, South Carolina, in a 75% stock and 25% cash transaction. This transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and approval of First Carolina's shareholders, and is expected to close in the late fourth quarter of 2026 or early first quarter of 2027. Carolina Bank operates 14 branches throughout the Pee Dee region of South Carolina and had approximately $831 million in total assets, $596 million in loans, and $714 million in deposits at June 30, 2026.
The Company continued to enhance net interest income and net interest margin ("NIM") during the second quarter of 2026. The Company recorded net interest income of $111.3 million for the current quarter, compared to $107.1 million for the linked quarter and $96.7 million for the like quarter.

Richard H. Moore, Chairman and CEO of the Company, stated, "First Bancorp continued to build on its positive start to 2026 with strong second quarter financial results driven by continued margin expansion, prudent balance sheet execution, high quality loans and a controlled efficiency ratio. Earnings continue to benefit from the repositioning of lower-yielding assets into higher-yielding opportunities, while our liquidity position, capital levels, and credit quality remain strong. We are pleased with our performance through the first half of the year and remain confident in our ability to sustain positive momentum and deliver continued success in 2026. We are excited about the acquisition of First Carolina which brings talented bankers and will help us accelerate our South Carolina growth expansion."
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $111.3 million, an increase of 3.9% from the linked quarter of $107.1 million and an increase of 15.1% from the like quarter of $96.7 million. The increase in net interest income from the linked and like quarters resulted from additional loan volume and increasing loan yield through originations as well as one additional earning day compared to the linked quarter. The increase from the like quarter also resulted from our focused efforts to manage deposit costs after the rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2025.
The Company's NIM for the second quarter of 2026 was 3.71%, an increase of 4 basis points from the linked quarter and 39 basis points from the like quarter.
The linked quarter expansion of NIM was driven a $114.9 million increase in average loans along with a 10 basis points expansion in loan yield. Additionally, short-term investments contributed an additional $1.5 million from increased balances partially reduced by lower yields. Offsetting these increases, the cost of interest bearing deposits increased 5 basis points on growth of $98.8 million in average balances. Driving these increases, the average balance of money market deposits increased $99.6 million while the cost of those deposits increased 8 basis points.
The like quarter expansion of NIM was driven by growth of $708.9 million in average loans, coupled with a 14 basis point yield increase as well as the cost of interest bearing deposits decreasing 20 basis points. The Company shifted its mix of interest-earning assets to higher yielding assets from the like quarter, with loans increasing from 70.1% of average interest-earning assets to 74.1% in the current quarter, while securities contracted from 25.6% of average interest-earning assets to 22.3% and short-term investments contracted from 4.3% of average interest-bearing assets to 3.7%.

(1) Calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average earning assets for the period.
(2) Calculated by dividing annualized tax-equivalent net interest income by average earning assets for the period. The tax-equivalent amount reflects the tax benefit that the Company receives related to its tax-exempt loans and securities, which carry interest rates lower than similar taxable investments due to their tax-exempt status. This amount has been computed using the expected tax rate and is reduced by the related nondeductible portion of interest expense.

Provision for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $1.2 million, $3.1 million and $2.2 million in provision for credit losses, respectively. The provision for the second quarter of 2026 was driven by net charge-offs of $1.0 million. The Allowance for Credit Losses increased $0.2 million to $124.9 million, or 1.39% of loans. Additionally, the $22 thousand provision for unfunded commitments during the quarter was the result of additional unfunded lending commitments.
The Company did not adjust its incremental reserve for potential exposure from Hurricane Helene, maintaining a $1.9 million reserve as of June 30, 2026. The remaining incremental reserve contributed two basis points to the Allowance for Credit Losses at period end.
Asset quality remained strong with annualized net loan charge-offs of 0.04% for the second quarter of 2026. Total nonperforming assets ("NPAs") totaled $44.9 million at June 30, 2026, or 0.34% of total assets, up slightly from 0.32% at March 31, 2026 and 0.28% at June 30, 2025.

Driven by principal paydowns and maturities, total investment securities decreased to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2026, a $42.2 million decrease from the linked quarter. Total unrealized losses on available for sale investment securities were $204.5 million at June 30, 2026, as compared to $197.7 million at March 31, 2026 and $298.9 million at June 30, 2025.
Total loans were $9.0 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $194.9 million, or 8.9% annualized, from March 31, 2026 and an increase of $763.1 million, or 9.3%, from June 30, 2025. Adjusting for the paydown of one larger seasonal loan, loan growth for the current quarter was 10.9% annualized. Please see the below table for total loan portfolio mix. As of June 30, 2026, there were no notable concentrations in geographies within North Carolina or South Carolina or within industries, including in office or hospitality categories, which are included in the "commercial real estate - non-owner occupied" category in the table below. The Company's exposure to non-owner occupied office loans represented approximately 6.2% of the total portfolio at June 30, 2026, with the largest loan being $33.0 million and with an average loan outstanding balance of $1.4 million. Non-owner occupied office loans are generally in non-metro markets and the ten largest loans in this category represent less than 2% of the total loan portfolio.

As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, estimated insured deposits totaled $6.5 billion, or 58.9%, and $6.5 billion, or 59.0%, of total deposits, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, there were collateralized deposits of $748.7 million and $723.8 million, respectively, such that approximately 65.7% and 65.6%, respectively, of our total deposits were insured or collateralized at those dates.
Capital
The Company maintains capital in excess of well-capitalized regulatory requirements, with an estimated total risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 2026 of 16.06%, down from the linked quarter ratio of 16.12% and from the like quarter ratio of 16.90%.
The Company has elected to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") related primarily to available for sale securities from common equity tier 1 capital. AOCI is included in the Company's tangible common equity ("TCE") to tangible assets ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) which was 9.83% at June 30, 2026, an increase of 20 basis points from the linked quarter and 100 basis points from June 30, 2025. The increase in TCE from the like quarter was driven by improvements in the level of unrealized losses on the available for sale securities portfolio, arising from market value improvements and the 2025 securities loss-earnback transactions. Please refer to Appendix A for a reconciliation of common equity to TCE (a non-GAAP measure) and Appendix C for a calculation of the TCE ratio (a non-GAAP measure).

The Company's on-balance sheet liquidity ratio (net liquid assets as a percent of net liabilities) at June 30, 2026 was 15.7%. In addition, the Company had approximately $2.4 billion in available lines of credit at that date resulting in a total liquidity ratio of 32.8%.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this Earnings Release, we present certain measures of our performance that are calculated by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Company management uses these non-GAAP measures for purposes of evaluating our performance. Non-GAAP measures exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Company management believes an appropriate analysis of the Company's financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying such performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Please see the Appendices attached to this Earnings Release for reconciliations of return on tangible common equity, tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, the tangible common equity ratio, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Included in interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was loan purchase accounting discount accretion of $1.1 million compared to $1.1 million for the linked quarter and $1.5 million for the like quarter, with the activity primarily related to the continued repayments/reduction of the loan portfolio acquired from GrandSouth Bancorporation in January of 2023. Loan discount accretion had positive impacts of three basis points, three basis points and four basis points, respectively, on the Company's NIM and NIM-T/E in the second quarter of 2026, the linked quarter and the like quarter.
The following table presents the impact to net interest income of the purchase accounting adjustments for each period.

3 Regional Bank Stocks That Crushed Q3 EarningsWestern Alliance Bancorporation NYSE: WAL reported stronger second-quarter 2026 earnings, with management pointing to commercial loan growth, higher net interest income and stable credit trends while outlining a shift toward greater share repurchases and deposit cost optimization.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Ken Vecchione said the quarter reflected “broad-based C&I-driven loan growth, strong net interest income, PP&R expansion, stable net interest margin, and continued balance sheet strength.” He said the company has begun executing several initiatives discussed at its May Investor Day, including reducing higher-cost deposits and expanding its share repurchase program.

Banking and trucking: Is the economy rolling toward troubles?Western Alliance is approaching the $100 billion asset threshold, with total assets remaining just below $99 billion at quarter-end. Vecchione said the bank is entering its next phase “from a position of strength,” citing growth, improving profitability and greater capital returns.
Loan Growth Led by Commercial and Industrial Lending Held-for-investment loans increased by $1.8 billion during the quarter, with more than 80% of the growth coming from commercial and industrial categories, according to Chief Financial Officer Vishal Idnani. Average HFI loan growth was $1.1 billion, contributing to average earning asset growth of $2.7 billion.
PacWest, First Horizon Shares Plummet On Continued Bank WorriesIdnani said commercial banking grew by $950 million, led by specialty commercial banking verticals and Hotel Franchise Finance within commercial real estate. C&I loans now account for nearly 49% of the HFI portfolio, while CRE excluding construction has declined to 19.5% of the portfolio.
Management said the company continues to see a strong loan origination pipeline, but it revised its full-year loan growth outlook to $5 billion from a higher prior expectation. Vecchione said the reduction reflects a capital allocation decision rather than a lack of demand, allowing the bank to direct more capital toward share repurchases while still producing growth expected to rank near the top of its peer group.
Net Interest Income Rises as Margin Holds Steady Net interest income rose to $797 million, up 4% from the prior quarter and 14% from a year earlier. Idnani attributed the increase primarily to earning asset growth, including loan growth and higher average securities balances.
The net interest margin was essentially stable, declining one basis point from the prior quarter to 3.53%. Idnani said lower funding costs helped offset the modest impact of remixing loans toward C&I from CRE and slightly lower average earning asset yields.
Western Alliance’s securities yield increased five basis points to 4.64%, while HFI loan yields declined three basis points to 5.82%. Interest-bearing deposit costs declined one basis point to 2.74%, and overall liability funding costs fell three basis points to 1.96%.
Management said deposit optimization efforts should continue to lower interest expense and deposit costs. Vecchione said the bank reduced higher-cost deposits by more than $1 billion late in the second quarter and another $1 billion in the first few weeks of the third quarter.
Deposit Optimization Drives Revised Growth Outlook Total deposits ended the quarter at $81.9 billion, up $10.8 billion from a year earlier but down $849 million from the prior quarter. Idnani said the linked-quarter decline reflected the intentional reduction of about $1.2 billion in higher-cost deposits.
Vecchione said Western Alliance expects to transition roughly $3 billion of higher-cost deposits off the balance sheet for the year. He said the bank is taking a “finesse” approach with clients, helping them transition certain balances while maintaining broader relationships that may include loans, operating accounts and treasury management services.
Management lowered its full-year deposit growth outlook to $6 billion, citing reduced funding needs and continued efforts to remix the deposit base. The company expects total deposits to grow by about $1 billion in the third quarter despite additional higher-cost deposit reductions, with fourth-quarter deposits expected to be roughly flat.
Executives highlighted lower-cost deposit channels such as HOA, Business Escrow Services, Corporate Trust, Juris Banking and digital assets as areas expected to grow faster than traditional deposit channels.
Fee Income Outlook Trimmed on Mortgage Headwinds Non-interest income was $199 million, essentially unchanged from the first quarter when excluding $50.5 million of securities gains recorded in that period. Year-over-year, non-interest income increased by about $51 million, or 34%, supported by commercial banking, treasury management and foreign exchange offerings.
Mortgage banking revenue improved from the prior quarter and from a year earlier, but management cited higher rates and tighter spreads as headwinds. Loan production and lock commitment volume were both up double-digit percentages from the prior quarter and year earlier, while the gain-on-sale margin compressed eight basis points from the first quarter to 29 basis points.
Idnani said servicing revenue rebounded to $31 million, mainly because of slower prepayment speeds in a higher-rate environment. He also said Western Alliance generated $6 million in gains from selling covered call options on mortgage bonds as a hedge against mortgage market volatility, with an additional $3 million of income realized in July.
The company reduced its full-year non-interest income growth outlook to 13% to 17%, down from 20% to 25%. Vecchione said mortgage banking revenue is expected to remain in line with second-quarter levels in the third and fourth quarters, citing geopolitical conditions and higher Treasury and mortgage rates.
Credit Trends and Capital Returns in Focus Western Alliance reported provision expense of $80 million, which Idnani said replenished net charge-offs and supported loan growth, primarily in C&I. Net charge-offs declined to 37 basis points. The company reaffirmed its core net charge-off guidance of 25 to 35 basis points for 2026.
Special mention loans declined by $87 million to $316 million, while classified accruing loans fell by $15 million to $440 million. Non-accrual loans increased by $70 million, but management said nearly all of the increase came from a previously disclosed loan that is current on contractual payments.
Vecchione said two of six non-accrual loans discussed at Investor Day have been resolved, with the remaining four expected to be addressed in the second half of 2026. Chief Credit Officer Lynne Herndon said management has “high confidence” in those asset resolutions.
The allowance for loan losses increased to $487 million, or 80 basis points of funded HFI loans, while the allowance for credit losses rose to 89 basis points. Idnani said the reserve ratio is expected to move higher incrementally as the loan portfolio continues to remix toward C&I.
Capital levels remained a central part of the company’s updated outlook. Western Alliance maintained its common equity tier 1 ratio at its targeted 11% level, and its tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio rose to 7%. Tangible book value per share increased $2.10 from the end of the first quarter to $63.24, up 13% year over year.
Vecchione said the company plans $150 million of share repurchases in the second half of 2026. He said Western Alliance’s shares trade at a “meaningful discount” to management’s view of intrinsic value and that buybacks represent an attractive use of capital. In response to analyst questions, he said the bank will continue evaluating the balance between loan growth, risk-adjusted returns, maintaining its 11% CET1 target and repurchasing stock.
Western Alliance now expects 2026 net interest income growth of 12% to 14%, compared with its prior forecast of 11% to 14%. The outlook includes an assumed 25-basis-point rate hike in September, which was not included in previous guidance. The company kept its deposit cost guidance at $650 million to $700 million and operating expense outlook at $1.6 billion to $1.65 billion. Management also said it expects a full-year effective tax rate of 19%.

DIVIDENDS
EastGroup declared a cash dividend of $1.55 per share of common stock in the second quarter of 2026, which was paid on July 15, 2026. This was the Company's 186th consecutive quarterly cash distribution to shareholders. The Company has increased or maintained its dividend for 33 consecutive years and has increased it 30 years over that period, including increases in each of the last 14 years. The annualized dividend rate of $6.20 per share represents a dividend yield of 2.8% based on the closing stock price of $221.34 on July 21, 2026.
FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY
EastGroup continues to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet. Debt-to-total market capitalization was 12.9% at June 30, 2026. The Company's interest and fixed charge coverage ratio was 15.1x and 14.9x for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The Company's ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate ("EBITDAre") was 3.0x for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. EBITDAre and the Company's interest and fixed charge coverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures defined under Definitions later in this release. Refer to the schedule "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" attached for the calculation of the Company's interest and fixed charge coverage ratio, the debt to EBITDAre ratio, and the reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDAre.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into forward equity sale agreements with respect to 788,321 shares of common stock with an initial weighted average forward price of $203.15 per share and approximate gross sales proceeds of $160,144,000 based on the initial forward price. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares by the forward purchasers at the time it entered into forward equity sale agreements. As of July 21, 2026, EastGroup had 1,040,457 shares of common stock available for settlement prior to the expiration of the applicable settlement periods ranging from March to June 2027, for approximate net proceeds of $207,051,000, based on a weighted average forward price of $199.00 per share.
OUTLOOK FOR 2026
We now estimate EPS for 2026 to be in the range of $5.83 to $5.97 and FFO per share attributable to common stockholders for 2026 to be in the range of $9.52 to $9.66. The table below reconciles projected net income attributable to common stockholders to projected FFO. The Company is providing a projection of estimated net income attributable to common stockholders in order to meet the disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
EastGroup's projections are based on management's current beliefs and assumptions about our business, the industry and the markets in which we operate; there are known and unknown risks and uncertainties associated with these projections.

DEFINITIONS
Net income is used by the Company's management as the primary measure of operating results in making decisions. Investor and industry analysts primarily utilize two supplemental operating performance measures in analyzing operating results, which include: (1) funds from operations attributable to common stockholders ("FFO"), including FFO as adjusted as described below, and (2) property net operating income ("PNOI"), as defined below.
FFO is computed in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("Nareit"). Nareit's guidance allows preparers an option as it pertains to whether gains or losses on sale, or impairment charges, on real estate assets incidental to a real estate investment trust's ("REIT's") business are excluded from the calculation of FFO. EastGroup has made the election to exclude activity related to such assets that are incidental to our business. FFO is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate property (including other assets incidental to the Company's business) and impairment losses, adjusted for real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO, Excluding Gain on Involuntary Conversion and Business Interruption Claims, is calculated as FFO (as defined above), adjusted to exclude gains on involuntary conversion and business interruption claims. The Company believes that this exclusion presents a more meaningful comparison of operating performance across periods.
PNOI is defined as Income from real estate operations less Expenses from real estate operations (including market-based internal management fee expense) plus the Company's share of income and property operating expenses from its less-than-wholly-owned real estate investments. EastGroup sometimes refers to PNOI from Same Properties as "Same PNOI" in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation; the Company also presents Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations. The Company presents Same PNOI and Same PNOI, Excluding Income from Lease Terminations, as a property-level supplemental measure of performance used to evaluate the performance of the Company's investments in real estate assets and its operating results on a same property basis. The Company believes it is useful to evaluate Same PNOI, Excluding Income from Lease Terminations, on both a straight-line and cash basis. The straight-line basis is calculated by averaging the customers' rent payments over the lives of the leases; GAAP requires the recognition of rental income on a straight-line basis. The cash basis excludes adjustments for straight-line rent and amortization of market rent intangibles for acquired leases; cash basis is an indicator of the rents charged to customers by the Company during the periods presented and is useful in analyzing the embedded rent growth in the Company's portfolio. "Same Properties" is defined as operating properties owned during the entire current period and prior year reporting period. Operating properties are stabilized real estate properties (land including building and improvements) that make up the Company's operating portfolio. Properties developed or acquired are excluded from the same property pool until held in the operating portfolio for both the current and prior year reporting periods. Properties sold during the current or prior year reporting periods are also excluded. A key component of the change in PNOI is the rental rate change on new and renewal leases. The Company calculates rental rate changes on new and renewal leases on a cash basis and straight-line basis. The cash basis rental changes are calculated as the difference, weighted by square feet, of the annualized base rent due the first month of the new lease's term and the annualized base rent of the rent due the last month of the former lease's term, for leases signed during the reporting period. If free rent, discounts, or premiums are in the lease terms, then the first full rent value is used. The straight-line basis rental changes are calculated as the difference, weighted by square feet, of the average rent over the life of the new lease and the average rent over the life of the former lease, for leases signed during the reporting period. Rent amounts exclude amortization of market rent intangibles for acquired leases, hold over rent, and base stop amounts. These calculations exclude leases with terms of less than 12 months and leases for first generation space on properties acquired or developed by EastGroup.
FFO and PNOI are supplemental industry reporting measurements used to evaluate the performance of the Company's investments in real estate assets and its operating results. The Company believes that the exclusion of depreciation and amortization in the industry's calculations of PNOI and FFO provides supplemental indicators of the properties' performance since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. PNOI and FFO as calculated by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled but differently calculated measures for other REITs. Investors should be aware that items excluded from or added back to FFO are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company's financial performance.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") is also used by the Company's management as a key performance measure. EBITDAre is computed in accordance with standards established by Nareit and defined as Net Income, adjusted for gains and losses from sales of real estate investments, non-operating real estate and other assets incidental to the Company's business, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company's management to measure the Company's operating performance and its ability to meet interest payment obligations and pay quarterly stock dividends on an unleveraged basis.
Debt-to-EBITDAre ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the Company's debt by its EBITDAre, and is used by the Company's management in analyzing the financial condition and operating performance of the Company relative to its leverage.
The Company's interest and fixed charge coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the Company's EBITDAre by its interest expense. The Company believes this ratio is useful to investors because it provides a basis for analysis of the Company's leverage, operating performance and its ability to service the interest payments due on its debt.
