Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Tyler Technologies Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/YTyler Technologies reported second-quarter 2026 non-GAAP earnings of $3.08 per share, which increased 0.9% year over year and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.06.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

VeriSign is expected to post earnings of $2.41 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +6.2%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged.
The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for VeriSign. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of D.
Itron po posledních výsledcích za měsíc klesl asi o 3,4 %, ale zvýšil celoroční výhled non-GAAP EPS na 6,3–6,5 USD z 5,75–6,25 USD. Tržby za 2. čtvrtletí meziročně klesly o 7 % na 563 milionů USD.
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Itron (ITRI - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 3.4% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Itron due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Itron’s Q2 Earnings Top EstimatesItron reported non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $1.59 for second-quarter 2026, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 22.3%. The company reported earnings of $1.62 per share in the prior-year quarter. The decline was primarily caused by lower interest income and a higher effective tax rate, which was moderated by growing non-GAAP operating income.
Itron generated second-quarter revenue of $563 million, down 7% year over year. The decline was largely attributable to weakness in the Networked Solutions segment, where revenue fell 17% because of project deployment timing and lower shipment volumes. This slowdown appears to be timing-related rather than demand-driven, as utilities continue investing heavily in grid modernization. Although headline revenue fell short of expectations, the underlying demand environment remains healthy, supported by increasing investments in grid resilience, electrification and infrastructure modernization.
The most encouraging takeaway was management's decision to raise its earnings guidance for 2026. Itron now forecasts non-GAAP EPS between $6.3 and $6.5, up from the prior view of $5.75-$6.25. The higher earnings outlook reflects continued strength in margin expansion, operational execution, demand from utility customers and integration of recent acquisitions. The company reaffirmed its full-year revenue outlook, narrowing the range to $2.37-$2.41 billion, with midpoint growth of 1% year over year. Revenue is expected to be back-end loaded, with second-half revenue projected to grow about 8% year over year and sequentially, consistent with prior expectations.
Product revenues were $453.5 million (80.6% of total revenues), down 12.3% year over year. Service revenues totaled $109.4 million (19.4%), up 22.2%.
At quarter-end, total backlog was $4.4 billion, only slightly below last year's $4.5 billion. Quarterly bookings totaled $550 million, demonstrating continued customer demand despite quarterly revenue fluctuations.
Segments in DetailDevice Solutions (19.8% of total revenues): Revenue declined 1% (3% in constant currency or cc) to $111.4 million primarily due to lower legacy electricity product sales.
Networked Solutions (60.3%): Revenues dipped 17% to $339.2 million, primarily due to the timing of project deployments.
Outcomes (17.1%): Revenues rose 13% to $96.4 million, driven by growth in recurring and services revenue.
Resiliency Solutions (2.8%): Sales, bolstered by the Urbint and Locusview acquisitions, contributed $16 million, with integration progressing according to plan.
Margin Strength Highlights Operational ImprovementsAdjusted gross margin expanded to 41.4%, representing an impressive 460 basis-point improvement over the prior-year period. The margin expansion was driven by improved customer mix, higher-margin product mix, operational efficiencies and better execution across manufacturing and supply chains.
Non-GAAP operating expenses were $144 million, up from $141.4 million a year ago, reflecting the impact of the Urbint and Locusview acquisitions.
Non-GAAP operating income rose to $89 million from $82.2 million a year ago, as stronger gross profit more than offset higher operating expenses.
Balance Sheet & Cash FlowsAs of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $745.2 million compared with $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2026. Accounts receivable were $351.1 million.
As of June 30, net long-term debt was $1.6 billion, the same as of March 31.
Second-quarter operating cash flow reached $88 million compared with $97 million last year. Free cash flow totaled $81 million, down from $91 million. The decline mainly reflected higher tax payments and lower interest income. These were partially offset by favorable working-capital timing.
During the quarter, Itron repurchased $52 million of its shares through open-market buybacks under its existing share repurchase program.
Q3 2026 OutlookFor the third quarter of 2026, it expects revenues to be between $590 million and $600 million, up 2% year over year at the midpoint.
Non-GAAP EPS is anticipated to be in the range of $1.5-$1.6, with about a 1% rise at the midpoint from last year.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a upward trend in fresh estimates.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Itron has a average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock was allocated a grade of A on the value side, putting it in the top 20% for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. It comes with little surprise Itron has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). We expect an above average return from the stock in the next few months.
Super Micro Computer uzavřel fiskální rok 2026 s rekordním backlogem po přijetí více než 60 miliard USD nových objednávek ve čtvrtém fiskálním čtvrtletí. Tržby vzrostly o 78 % na 39,1 miliardy USD.
Key Takeaways SMCI ended fiscal 2026 with a record backlog after receiving over $60 billion in new orders.SMCI expects AI-related solutions to exceed 80% of revenues, supported by demand across major AI workloads.Support for NVIDIA, AMD and Intel platforms positions SMCI for successive AI system transitions. Super Micro Computer’s (SMCI - Free Report) exposure to AI infrastructure remains a central growth driver. Fiscal 2026 revenues rose 78% to $39.1 billion, and management said more than $60 billion of new orders were received in the fourth quarter, leaving a record backlog heading into fiscal 2027.
The AI solutions represented about 60% of SMCI’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues because several large projects shifted timing, but management expects AI-related solutions to exceed 80% of revenues going forward based on backlog. The company guided for fiscal 2027 sales of $65 billion to $72 billion and first-quarter sales of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion.
Demand for AI training, inference, NeoCloud and sovereign deployments remains the primary driver of Super Micro Computer’s longer-term expansion. Super Micro Computer continues to emphasize early availability of new AI systems integrated with NVIDIA, Advanced Micro Devices and Intel chips as a competitive advantage.
In fourth-quarter fiscal 2026, the company was shipping volume products across NVIDIA’s GB300 NVL72, HGX B300, B200 NVL4 and RTX 6000 Pro lines. It is also preparing systems based on NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Vera CPU platforms. With AMD, SMCI launched the Helios product line and MI450 Total Solution while continuing to support MI350 and MI355X systems.
Intel Xeon 6+ platforms are shipping in volume, and the company is developing systems for Arm-based AGI processors. Broad support across multiple processor ecosystems gives customers more deployment choices and can help the company participate in successive AI platform transitions.
How Competitors Fare Against SMCIBig players like Dell Technologies (DELL - Free Report) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE - Free Report) are competing with SMCI in this space.
Dell Technologies is a major supplier of servers and storage systems, with a broad customer base across enterprises and cloud providers. Its scale, established distribution and service offerings give it an edge in winning large contracts. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is also expanding aggressively into AI and high-performance computing.
HPE’s GreenLake platform provides customers with flexible, cloud-like consumption models, which can be attractive to enterprises. Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s focus on hybrid cloud and AI workloads positions it as a direct competitor in areas where SMCI is seeking growth through its DCBBS strategy.
SMCI’s Price Performance, Valuation and EstimatesShares of Super Micro Computer have gained 20.1% year to date compared with the Zacks Computer – Storage Devices industry’s growth of 211.5%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Super Micro Computer’s fiscal 2026 and 2027 earnings implies a year-over-year increase of approximately 22% and 18.7%, respectively. Estimates for fiscal 2026 and 2027 earnings have been revised upward in the past 30 days.

Akcie Super Micro Computer v úterý vzrostly o 9,4 % poté, co Cisco oznámilo partnerství v oblasti kapalinou chlazených rackových AI řešení. Pro firmu je to silné potvrzení po dřívějších obavách kolem správy společnosti.
Shares of AI server-maker Super Micro Computer (SMCI -3.59%) rallied 9.4% on Tuesday. The company received a big boost in confidence as enterprise data center infrastructure giant Cisco (CSCO -1.98%) announced it would partner with the server maker on liquid-cooled, rack-scale AI solutions.
That validation is especially valuable for Super Micro, which has long been at the forefront of server technology but has more recently garnered skepticism over corporate governance issues.

Cisco gives a super stamp of approval It should be noted that today's big jump clawed back the significant decline in Super Micro's stock yesterday. On top of Monday being a tough day for the overall AI semiconductor sector, Super Micro's stock fell especially hard after Taiwanese Authorities indicted two Super Micro employees for attempting to redirect Super Micro AI servers to China, in violation of U.S. export restrictions. Super Micro employees weren't the only ones involved; the indictments targeted nine individuals, including one Nvidia (NVDA -4.58%) employee.
The recent indictments follow accusations that Super Micro has been playing fast and loose on other issues, including accounting compliance and corporate governance, since mid-2024.
Super Micro appears to have put most issues behind it, having secured a new auditor who signed off on its books in 2025. Furthermore, Super Micro noted that it was not a defendant in the recent server-smuggling scheme and that it has been working with authorities to help stop third-party smuggling.
Nevertheless, the "smoke" from all these issues appears to have made many investors cautious about Super Micro shares, which trade at a big discount to peers despite a recent massive earnings beat and strong forward guidance.
That's perhaps why Cisco's "seal of approval," so to speak, carries so much weight today. According to today's press release, Cisco is adding Super Micro's liquid-cooled Nvidia AI racks to its Secure AI Factory architecture portfolio, an approved list of AI solutions built with Cisco's secure compliance approval.
Cisco is a giant, longtime infrastructure provider to the biggest enterprises in the world, so its adding Super Micro liquid-cooled racks to its approved product list carries a lot of weight in validating Super Micro's technology, time-to-market execution, and compliance bona fides.

Super Micro remains a cheap way to play AI growth Super Micro trades at a massive discount to peers such as Dell Technologies (DELL -3.39%), despite both being AI server producers and each having similar growth profiles.
SMCI PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
No doubt, concerns over Super Micro's governance play a large role in this yawning discount; however, today's announcement shows Super Micro remains a go-to hardware provider for the biggest companies in AI infrastructure. If you feel comfortable that the corporate governance concerns are overblown, the stock looks like a massive bargain and the cheapest way to play the AI boom -- of course, that's a big "if."

AutoNation vykázala rekordní hrubý zisk v segmentu Parts & Service ve výši 607 mil. USD a vyšší zisk z financování a pojištění, což podporuje opakované tržby. Zároveň dál provádí zpětný odkup akcií, ale brzdí ji vysoký dluh a slabší ziskovost nových vozů.
Key Takeaways AutoNation's record Parts & Service profits and growing finance earnings provide recurring growth drivers.AN is investing in digital capabilities while repurchasing shares to support per-share earnings.High debt, weaker new-vehicle profitability and elevated SG&A remain key challenges.

However, high debt limits financial flexibility, while weaker new-vehicle profitability and elevated operating costs remain concerns.
Let’s dig deeper and see why this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock is worth retaining in your portfolio.
Aftersales Contribution & Investment in Technology Aid ANAftersales remains AutoNation’s largest gross profit contributor and provides a recurring earnings stream across vehicle cycles. In the second quarter of 2026, Parts & Service gross profit reached a record $607 million, up 1% year over year, while customer-pay gross profit rose 7% in total and 4% on a same-store basis. Same-store franchise technician headcount rose more than 2%, and the company expects technician capacity and customer retention to be key to sustaining mid-single-digit aftersales gross profit growth over time.
AutoNation Finance continues to expand its earnings contribution as the loan portfolio scales and external funding increases. In second-quarter 2026, originations were $485 million, and the portfolio reached $2.67 billion, up about 52% year over year. Quarterly profit rose to $11 million from $2 million, while first-half profit reached $20 million versus $2 million a year earlier. Finance penetration was 11% of total vehicle sales and 18% of financed sales.
AutoNation continues to invest in digital and omni-channel capabilities as customers increasingly use online resources for vehicle research and purchasing. AutoNation Express supports online buying and selling, while its minority investment in TrueCar broadens digital reach. AN is also adding functionality across research, purchase and vehicle-fulfillment channels to match changing customer preferences. These investments complement store execution, and second-quarter 2026 market share remained consistent with the first quarter in the markets AutoNation serves.
AutoNation continues to deploy capital toward share repurchases, which remains an important lever for per-share earnings and boosts shareholder confidence. From Jan. 1 to July 29, 2026, AutoNation repurchased 2.3 million shares. As of June 30, 2026, $618.9 million remained authorized under the current program.
High Debt & Operating Cost Ail AutoNationAutoNation’s balance sheet remains leveraged as capital deployment expands. As of June 30, 2026, non-vehicle debt was $4.4 billion, cash was $53 million and liquidity was about $1 billion. The firm’s long-term debt-to-capital ratio stands at 0.72 compared to the industry’s 0.27. High debt restricts the firm’s financial flexibility.
New-vehicle economics remain exposed to vehicle costs, manufacturer incentives and changes in powertrain mix even as sequential profitability has stabilized. In second-quarter 2026, new-vehicle gross profit per unit was $2,381, down 15% from $2,785 a year earlier, while new units fell 4%. The decline reflected higher average vehicle costs and lower manufacturer incentives, with BEV sales down more than 30% year over year. Premium Luxury new units fell 4%, while Domestic units declined 12%. The company expects prior-year tariff and EV-credit comparison effects to ease in the second half, but sustaining margins still depends on vehicle costs and mix.
Operating efficiency remains below the company’s long-term target despite sequential progress. Adjusted SG&A was 68.2% of gross profit in the second quarter of 2026, up from the 66% to 67% target range and 66.2% a year earlier. Advertising costs rose to support vehicle sales, while first-half spending also reflected customer experience investments and higher self-insured losses.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals za měsíc vzrostla o 15,4 % díky silným výsledkům a vyššímu výhledu tržeb na rok 2026. Ve 2. čtvrtletí tržby dosáhly 3,33 miliardy USD a EPS činil 4,73 USD.
Key Takeaways Vertex Pharmaceuticals' stock gained 15.4% in a month after strong results and higher 2026 guidance.Alyftrek is boosting CF sales, while Journavx and Casgevy are gaining traction as non-CF products.Povetacicept and other renal candidates could diversify revenues, with potential approvals in 2026 and 2027. Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (VRTX - Free Report) stock has risen 15.4% in a month, driven mainly by strong second-quarter results, higher 2026 guidance, growing confidence in its post-cystic fibrosis (CF) growth story and renewed optimism around its renal pipeline.
Vertex reported second-quarter revenues of $3.33 billion, up 12% year over year, and raised its full-year revenue outlook to $13.1-$13.2 billion from $12.95-$13.1 billion previously. Earnings of $4.73 per share rose around 5% year over year.
Let's take a closer look at these factors to assess the key drivers behind VRTX's recent rally and determine how investors should approach the stock after its strong price gain.
Consistent Rise in VRTX’s CF Product SalesVertex holds a leadership position in the CF market. With its five CF medicines, Vertex can treat nearly 95% of all people living with CF in core markets. Demand for its CF therapies continues to grow, as the company expands access globally and wins approvals in younger patient populations. Meanwhile, Vertex does not face any near-term headwinds from LOE or increased competition for its CF therapies.
Its CF products generated revenues of $6.1 billion in the first half of 2026, up 8.4% year over year, driven by Trikafta/Kaftrio as well as increasing contribution from Alyftrek, a next-in-class triple combination regimen and Vertex’s fifth and newest CF medicine.
Alyftrek continues to outperform expectations and generated sales worth $573.6 million in the second quarter, up 35% on a sequential basis. The rollout of Alyftrek in the United States and Europe is progressing well across all patient groups. The drug surpassed $1 billion in cumulative global revenues in the first half of 2026. Alyftrek’s once-daily dosing and improved sweat chloride profile continue to resonate with patients and doctors.
Vertex is also conducting studies to expand the labels of Alyftrek and Trikafta to additional mutations as well as to younger patients. Vertex recently began global regulatory filings for Alyftrek in children with cystic fibrosis aged 2 to 5 years.
Vertex expects incremental patients from the label expansions for Alyftrek and Trikafta, along with launches of Alyftrek in additional geographies and for treating younger patients, to drive CF growth through the rest of the year.
VRTX’s New Non-CF Drugs Show Strong Growth PotentialThe uptake of Vertex’s newly launched non-CF products, Journavx and Casgevy, was slower than expected in 2025. However, their sales are gradually picking up in 2026.
Journavx, a novel non-opioid pain medicine (suzetrigine), approved last year, has drawn significant investor attention because of the large unmet need for safer pain therapies amid the opioid crisis. Though Journavx’s sales have been slow since launch, its launch metrics and early reimbursement progress look positive. Vertex expects both sales and prescriptions to more than triple in 2026 versus 2025, reflecting the drug’s expanding market access and growing adoption. Journavx generated $49.6 million in sales in the second quarter, up 71% on a sequential basis, backed by strong underlying prescription growth.
Vertex and partner CRISPR Therapeutics’ (CRSP - Free Report) one-shot gene therapy, Casgevy, was approved for two blood disorders, sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT), in multiple regions in late 2023/early 2024. Vertex leads the global development and commercialization of Casgevy under the terms of the 2021 agreement with support from CRISPR Therapeutics.
Casgevy’s sales were $76.4 million in the second quarter, up 78% on a sequential basis and 151% on a year-over-year basis due to an increase in patient infusions. Casgevy recorded more than 100 patient initiations in the second quarter as the launch continues to progress. First-half 2026 infusions have already exceeded the total for 2025, supported by improved reimbursement and growing patient uptake across key markets. Vertex is also making rapid progress in the drug’s access and reimbursement. In July, the FDA approved Casgevy for expanded use in pediatric patients 2 years and older with TDT and SCD.
The company expects non-CF products to generate revenues of $500 million plus in 2026, representing year-over-year growth of around 185%, driven by growing Casgevy infusions and a meaningful ramp in Journavx prescriptions and revenues.
Vertex’s Expanding Renal Pipeline Could Diversify GrowthWhile Vertex’s main focus is on the development and strengthening of its CF franchise, the company also has a rapidly advancing mid - to late-stage pipeline in other disease areas beyond CF, like acute and neuropathic pain, APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD), IgA nephropathy (IgAN), primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
Many of these candidates represent multibillion-dollar opportunities. Many of these programs are in pivotal development, setting the stage for several potential regulatory filings in 2026 and early 2027, and potential new drug approvals in a couple of years.
Vertex’s candidates for kidney diseases are capturing investor attention. In kidney diseases, key pipeline candidates are VX-407 for ADPKD, inaxaplin for AMKD and povetacicept for IgAN and pMN. It is believed that povetacicept and inaxaplin represent significant commercial opportunities.
Povetacicept was added to Vertex’s portfolio from the Alpine acquisition in 2024. Vertex believes povetacicept has pipeline-in-a-product potential for B-cell-mediated diseases. Povetacicept is designed to target two proteins, namely BAFF and APRIL, which are jointly responsible for the cause of multiple serious autoimmune diseases. In June 2026, the FDA accepted the regulatory filing seeking approval for povetacicept for IgAN. A final decision from the FDA is expected on Nov. 30, 2026. If approved, povetacicept would become Vertex's first commercialized nephrology product. Positive commercial progress of a competitor, Otsuka's IgAN therapy Voyxact, launched in 2025, has increased investor confidence in the IgAN market’s commercial opportunities.
Vertex is also conducting a pivotal phase II/III study of povetacicept for a second potential renal indication, pMN. Vertex is also conducting a phase II study on povetacicept for the treatment of gMG.
Vertex expects its kidney portfolio to become a significant growth driver over the next several years and diversify the company’s revenue streams.
However, Vertex has faced regular pipeline setbacks. In 2026, Vertex ended the phase I/II clinical study on mRNA therapeutic VX-522 in CF, after observing persistent tolerability issues in the study. Vertex was developing VX-522 in partnership with Moderna (MRNA - Free Report) .
VRTX’s Price, Valuation and EstimatesVertex stock has risen 22.0% so far this year, outperforming the industry’s 17.9% growth.

VRTX Stock ValuationImage Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings has declined from $19.17 per share to $19.01 over the past 30 days, while that for 2027 has deteriorated from $20.97 per share to $20.66 per share over the same time frame.
VRTX Estimate MovementImage Source: Zacks Investment Research
Stay Invested in VRTX StockThe company has its share of headwinds like heavy dependence on the CF franchise, regular pipeline setbacks, intensifying competition as well as the risky nature of its non-CF pipeline programs.
However, Vertex dominates the CF market with drugs like Trikafta/Alyftrek and boasts a breakthrough non-CF pipeline. Vertex’s investment case has strengthened materially because the company is gradually transitioning from being predominantly a CF story toward a multi-pillar growth company.
In July 2026, Vertex agreed to acquire Crinetics Pharmaceuticals for about $10 billion, gaining Palsonify, its once-daily oral treatment for acromegaly. The acquisition will further diversify Vertex’s portfolio, adding rare endocrine diseases, which have high unmet need, as its fifth pillar. Vertex believes that Crinetics’ two lead assets, Palsonify and lead pipeline candidate atumelnant, together represent a peak sales opportunity of about $5 billion.
We believe Vertex is a good stock to have in one’s portfolio, considering its strong overall financial performance and robust pipeline progress. Vertex faces minimal competition in the CF franchise, which gives it pricing power. Vertex expects that both Casgevy and Journavx can become multibillion-dollar products in the long term.

, /PRNewswire/ -- 1911 Gold Corporation ("1911 Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUMB) (OTCQX: AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce assay results from the surface exploration drill program at San Antonio West ("SAM W") at the Company's wholly-owned, operational and fully permitted True North Gold Project ("True North"), centrally located within the Company's 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property, southeast Manitoba, Canada.
Drilling Highlights:
Drilling confirmed the continuity of gold ("Au") mineralization within a gap area of the previously drilled SAM W target measuring approximately 200 metres ("m") deep and 200 m in strike length between depths of 230 m and 430 m from surface on the northwest extensions of the target area, and returned the following highlighted results: TN-26-073: Intersected 11.31 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au over 1.70 m (at 391.10 m downhole depth), including 16.20 g/t Au over 0.80 m TN-26-089: Intersected 5.72 g/t Au over 3.00 m (at 327.40 m downhole depth), including 9.65 g/t Au over 1.10 m TN-26-082: Intersected 6.79 g/t Au over 2.40 m (at 204.40 m downhole depth), including 7.98 g/t Au over 1.40 m TN-26-097: Intersected 11.80 g/t Au over 0.50 m (at 361.40 m downhole depth) Shaun Heinrichs, President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased with the continuity of gold mineralization and the extent of the mineralized vein system at SAM W, which we have continued to intersect in our resource definition drilling, along with a number of high-grade gold intercepts. The three near-mine targets discovered in 2024 (SAM W, SAM SE and Shore) are encouraging given their high-grade nature and their occurrence at higher elevations at True North compared to the currently defined resource. Drilling in support of the resource update is now complete and geological modelling is underway, keeping us on track to deliver an updated global resource estimate in the fourth quarter of this year. As we continue to develop these targets, we expect them to have a significant, long-term impact on the production potential at True North."
The latest assay results are from eight (8) surface diamond drill holes for 2,980 m from the exploration drilling program testing the resource potential of the SAM W target located adjacent to existing infrastructure at True North. Drilling was conducted from surface to define the strike and depth extensions of previously released drill results from SAM W during 2025 and 2026 (see Figure 1). One (1) drill hole, TN-26-097A, did not reach target depth and was abandoned. The Company has now completed thirty-four (34) drill holes for a total of 9,067 m at SAM W, where two (2) drill holes, TN-25-071A and TN-26-097A, did not reach target and were abandoned. All results from SAM W will support a maiden mineral resource estimate.

San Antonio West Target (SAM W): Discussion of Results
The latest surface exploration drilling at SAM W confirmed the continuity of mineralization within a gap in previous drilling over an area measuring 200 m in elevation and 200 m along strike length from depths of 230 m to 430 m from surface within the northwest extensions of the target area. The latest results confirmed continuity of high-grade vein-hosted gold mineralization to the northwest, hosted within the San Antonio gabbro unit ("SAM gabbro"), adjacent to the intersection with the regional Cartwright South shear zone. Drilling in the current program has now confirmed continuous mineralization at SAM W over a strike length of 500 m and to down-plunge depths of over 600 m and remains open at depth. The historical San Antonio mine is located in the same geological setting approximately 500 m to the south. The mineralized intercepts are characterized by quartz-carbonate shear veins predominantly striking east-west and dipping steeply to the north and vein breccias trending northwest and dipping to the northeast with sericite, ankerite and chlorite alteration, associated with pyrite disseminated and in veinlets. All seven (7) drill holes that reached target depth confirmed the continuity of the target and intersected mineralization in veining within the SAM gabbro host.
Drilling confirmed the extensions and continuity of the SAM W vein system above and to the northwest of previous drill hole TN-25-064¹ which intersected 24.83 g/t Au over 2.60 m, including 46.00 g/t Au over 1.00 m (at 490.00 m downhole depth) and drill hole TN-25-071¹ which intersected 12.80 g/t Au over 0.80 m (at 473.50 m downhole depth). Drilling confirmed the continuity of mineralization below and to the northwest of hole TN-24-006² which intersected 3.70 g/t Au over 4.84 m (at 125.38 m downhole depth), including 7.23 g/t Au over 1.05 m and 8.42 g/t Au over 0.91 m.
Drilling also extended mineralization along strike to the northwest of previous drill hole TN-25-057³ which intersected 58.66 g/t Au over 1.40 m (at 145.00 m downhole depth), including 63.20 g/t Au over 0.90 m and 50.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m, all within the same geological setting.

Next Steps
Additional underground exploration drilling from the Hinge decline is underway, testing the depth extensions of SAM SE and is expected to be completed by the end of August.
Geological wire-frame modelling of the veins has commenced in preparation for a maiden resource estimate on the SAM W, SAM SE and Shore targets, with the updated global resource estimate expected in the fourth quarter of this year.
Current drilling activities are being conducted from underground with three (3) drill rigs focused on infill and delineation drilling of areas contemplated for test mining and the early years of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") mine plan. Two (2) underground drill rigs are active on Level 16, and a third is operating from the Hinge decline. A fourth drill rig will be mobilized upon completion of rehabilitation on Level 26.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This news release contains forward-looking information or forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words and phrases such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or that describe a "goal", or variations of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements with respect to the ongoing drill programs and the timing and results thereof, preparation and delivery of a global resource estimate, the targets to be included and the timing thereof, and ongoing development work to advance the project towards a potential production decision, and the Company's objectives, goals and future plans and strategies, are forward-looking statements.
While 1911 Gold has not made a production decision, should 1911 Gold make such a decision in the future without a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, there may be increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that 1911 Gold will make a production decision, and, if it does, there is no guarantee that any production will begin as anticipated or at all or that any anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to make a positive decision to commence production would have a material adverse impact on 1911 Gold's ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations. Failure to achieve any anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on 1911 Gold's cash flow and future profitability.
All forward-looking statements reflect the Company's beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the statements were made. Actual results or events may differ from those predicted in these forward-looking statements. All of the Company's forward-looking statements are qualified by the assumptions that are stated or inherent in such forward-looking statements, including the assumptions listed below. Although the Company believes that these assumptions are reasonable, this list is not exhaustive of factors that may affect any of the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, predictions, projections, forecasts, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Although 1911 Gold has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
In addition, readers are directed to review the detailed risk discussion in the Company's Annual Management's Discussion & Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed on SEDAR+, which discussions are incorporated by reference in this news release, for a fuller understanding of the risks and uncertainties that affect the Company's business and operations.
All forward-looking statements contained in this news release are given as of the date hereof. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Neither TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
Boston Scientific uvedla, že kybernetický incident narušil globální provoz včetně některých informačních systémů používaných ke zpracování a expedici objednávek. Společnost incident zjistila 25. srpna. Akcie v ranním obchodování klesly asi o 4 %.
Boston Scientific (BSX.N) said on Wednesday that a cybersecurity incident had disrupted global operations, including some information systems used to process and ship customer orders.
The medical device maker said it detected the incident on August 25 and had activated incident-response procedures, working with third-party cybersecurity specialists to investigate and contain the threat.
Shares of the company fell about 4% in morning trading.
The incident is the latest in a series of cyberattacks to hit the healthcare sector, with medical device makers Abbott Laboratories (ABT.N), Stryker (SYK.N) and Medtronic (MDT.N), health insurer Clover Health (CLOV.O), drugmaker Novo Nordisk (NOVOb.CO) and drug-delivery equipment supplier West Pharmaceutical Services (WST.N) among those recently hit.
The attack is expected to continue affecting parts of the company's business while recovery efforts are underway, Boston Scientific said.
Evercore ISI analyst Vijay Kumar said Stryker's cybersecurity incident earlier this year took about three weeks to resolve and assuming a similar recovery timeline, Boston Scientific could face a roughly 600 to 700 basis-point impact on third-quarter revenue.
Boston Scientific said it has not determined whether the incident was reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business.
An investigation is ongoing, but the full scope and nature of the incident have not yet been determined, the company said.
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Boston Scientific (BSX - Free Report) . Shares have added about 1.5% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Boston Scientific due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
BSX Q2 Earnings and Revenues Top EstimatesBoston Scientific reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 86 cents per share, up 14.7% year over year. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.6%.
Revenues rose 7.5% on a reported basis to $5.44 billion and surpassed the consensus estimate by 1.1%. Cardiovascular growth, double-digit gains in Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Latin America and Canada (LACA) and strong Neuromodulation sales supported the quarter.
Segmental Results Reflect Broad-Based GrowthCardiovascular revenues totaled $3.62 billion, increasing 8.3% on a reported basis and 7.8% on an operational and organic basis. The segment generated roughly two-thirds of Boston Scientific’s quarterly revenues and remained the primary growth contributor.
MedSurg revenues rose 5.9% to $1.82 billion, with operational and organic growth of 5.4%. Within the segment, Endoscopy sales increased 7.6% to $793 million, while Neuromodulation revenues climbed 12.7% to $341 million. Urology revenues advanced 1.1% to $684 million, marking the slowest growth among the company’s reported businesses.
Broad Regional Sales GainsU.S. revenues increased 6.2% to $3.43 billion. The domestic market remained Boston Scientific’s largest region, generating nearly 63% of consolidated sales.
APAC revenues rose 11.2% to $878 million, while LACA sales surged 22.4% to $206 million. LACA operational growth was 16.2%. Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) revenues increased 6.1% to $932 million, although operational growth was lower at 4.2% due to currency effects.
Boston Scientific Expands Quarterly MarginsThe gross margin expanded approximately 306 basis points (bps) year over year to 70.7%. The cost of products sold declined 2.6% to $1.59 billion in the reported quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 5.1% to $1.80 billion. Research and development expenses increased 5.3% to $554 million, while royalty expenses plunged 14.3% to $12 million. Adjusted operating margin expanded approximately 71 bps to 28.4%.
BSX Advances Its Cardiovascular PipelineBoston Scientific presented data from the FRACTURE trial of the SEISMIQ 4CE coronary intravascular lithotripsy catheter. The study met its primary endpoints, demonstrating procedural success and high freedom from major adverse cardiac events at 30 days.
The AVANT GUARD study also met its safety and effectiveness endpoints. FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation demonstrated statistical superiority over anti-arrhythmic drugs in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation who had not received prior treatment for the condition.
New Growth InvestmentsThe company invested $1.5 billion in MiRus LLC for an approximately 34% equity stake and an exclusive option to acquire its transcatheter aortic valve replacement business. MiRus is developing the investigational SIEGEL balloon-expandable TAVR system.
BSX also completed its previously announced $2 billion accelerated share repurchase program. The transaction resulted in the repurchase of approximately 40 million shares, reducing the company’s outstanding share base.
Q3 and Full-Year GuidanceBoston Scientific now expects reported sales growth of 5.5-6.5%, down from its prior forecast of 7-8.5%. Organic sales growth is now projected at 5-6% compared with the earlier range of 6.5-8%.
The company also reduced its full-year adjusted earnings forecast to $3.28-$3.32 per share from the earlier $3.34-$3.41.
For the third quarter, management forecasts reported and organic sales growth of 3-5%. Adjusted earnings are expected between 80 cents and 82 cents per share.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates revision.
VGM ScoresCurrently, Boston Scientific has a nice Growth Score of B, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with an A. However, the stock has a grade of C on the value side, putting it in the middle 20% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Boston Scientific has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.
Performance of an Industry PlayerBoston Scientific belongs to the Zacks Medical - Products industry. Another stock from the same industry, Royal Philips (PHG - Free Report) , has gained 1.8% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.
Philips reported revenues of $5.07 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +3%. EPS of $0.57 for the same period compares with $0.41 a year ago.
Philips is expected to post break-even earnings per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of 0%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed 0%.
The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Philips. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of A.

Omnicom za poslední měsíc přidal asi 6,4 % po výsledcích za 2Q, které překonaly odhady: upravený zisk na akcii byl 2,65 USD a tržby 6,56 miliardy USD. Firma zároveň zvýšila výhled organického růstu tržeb na 4,5–5 %.
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Omnicom (OMC - Free Report) . Shares have added about 6.4% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Omnicom due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Omnicom Group Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Omnicom Q2 Earnings Beat EstimatesOmnicom reported impressive second-quarter 2026 results, with both earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
OMC’s adjusted earnings of $2.65 per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.4% and increased 29.3% from the year-ago quarter. Revenues of $6.56 billion surpassed the consensus estimate by 0.8% and rose 63.3% year over year.
The sharp rise in revenues reflects the contribution from the Interpublic Group acquisition. Core Operations delivered 6.1% organic growth, led by Integrated Media and Experiential businesses.
OMC's Core Operations Maintain Strong GrowthCore Operations revenues increased 7.2% year over year to $6 billion. Organic growth contributed $339 million, while favorable foreign-currency translation added $61.7 million. Core Operations exclude businesses already divested or classified as held for sale.
Management attributed the performance to expanding services for existing clients and winning new business. Omnicom added work in sports, media, production, commerce, social and influencer marketing for clients including American Express, General Mills and Uber. New integrated media wins included Adidas, IBM and Subway.
Omnicom's Media Business Leads the MixIntegrated Media generated $3.15 billion, representing 52.5% of Core Operations revenues. The discipline recorded organic growth of slightly more than 10%, supported by demand for media, commerce, data, customer relationship management and consulting services.
Advertising revenues were $942.6 million, or 15.7% of the total and declined by high single digits organically. Management linked the weakness partly to internal restructuring, brand realignment and the disposal of smaller, slower-growing operations.
OMC's Other Disciplines Show Mixed TrendsPublic Relations contributed $679.1 million, accounting for 11.3% of Core Operations revenues, with mid-single-digit organic growth. Experiential & Other produced $669.2 million, or 11.2%, and grew more than 10% organically, aided by activity related to the FIFA World Cup.
Health revenues were $555.9 million, representing 9.3% of the total and remaining flat organically. The varied performance highlights Omnicom's reliance on Integrated Media and Experiential operations to offset softness in Advertising.
Omnicom's Regional Results Favor the AmericasThe United States generated $3.54 billion, or 59% of Core Operations revenues, and recorded high-single-digit organic growth. Latin America contributed $227.9 million and expanded more than 10%, making it a notable regional growth driver.
Euro Markets and Other Europe produced $826.4 million, while the United Kingdom generated $554.8 million. Asia-Pacific revenues were $537.6 million, down slightly. Middle East and Africa revenues fell at a double-digit rate amid ongoing regional conflict.
OMC's Margins Benefit From Cost SynergiesAdjusted EBITA from Core Operations increased 20.4% to $1.07 billion. The related margin expanded 190 basis points to 17.8%, primarily reflecting cost-reduction synergies tied to the Interpublic combination.
On a consolidated basis, adjusted EBITA rose 83.7% to $1.13 billion, while the adjusted EBITA margin improved to 17.2% from 15.3%. Reported operating income increased to $922.5 million, supported by revenue growth and the acquisition.
Omnicom's Integration Costs Remain ElevatedOperating expenses climbed to $5.64 billion, largely because of the Interpublic acquisition. The quarter included $40.1 million of integration and transaction costs and $47 million of severance and repositioning expenses.
Net interest expense increased to $93.3 million from $40.7 million, mainly due to debt assumed in the acquisition and refinancing activities. The adjusted effective tax rate declined to 26% from 26.5% a year earlier.
OMC Raises Its Organic Revenue OutlookFollowing the first-half performance, management raised its 2026 organic revenue growth outlook for ongoing operations to 4.5-5% from 4%. The company also expects adjusted earnings growth of more than 15% for the year.
Omnicom remains on track to achieve $900 million of cost-reduction synergies in 2026 and $1.5 billion by mid-2028. Management said slightly more than half of the 2026 target had been delivered through the first half.
Omnicom Advances Its Capital Return PlanFree cash flow totaled $1.50 billion during the first six months of 2026. Cash and cash equivalents were $3.34 billion at quarter-end, while gross long-term debt was $10.18 billion.
The company repurchased roughly $3 billion of shares in the first half. Omnicom expects another $500 million of repurchases during 2026 and plans to complete its $5 billion authorization by the end of the first quarter of 2027.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in fresh estimates.
The consensus estimate has shifted -6.25% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Omnicom has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. However, the stock was allocated a score of A on the value side, putting it in the top quintile for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Omnicom has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

Omnicom Media spustila Hearts United, novou globální mediální agenturu vzniklou spojením Hearts & Science a Mediahub. Působí na 40 trzích a v USA letos vede žebříček nových zakázek.
New Agency Brings Together OM's Hearts & Science and Mediahub to Create a New 40-Market Global Network
Hearts United debuts as a leader in new business, outperforming its competitors globally and in EMEA, and topping the US ranking
, /PRNewswire/ -- Omnicom Media, an Omnicom (NYSE: OMC) Connected Capability, today officially launched Hearts United, a new global media agency created through the combination of its Hearts & Science and Mediahub networks.
Bringing together two high-growth challenger organizations with complementary capabilities, cultures and geographic strengths, Hearts United is built to help ambitious brands navigate a media environment where influence moves continuously across platforms, creators, communities, commerce, and AI.
"Hearts & Science helped pioneer data-driven decision-making, while Mediahub broke new ground by proving media could serve as a creative platform," says Omnicom Media CEO Florian Adamski. "In bringing them together as Hearts United, we have created a new globally scaled network built from complementary strengths, approaches and footprints, and grounded in the shared principle of putting client growth at the heart of every decision."
The new agency - which operates across 40 markets and represents approximately $9.1 billion in 2025 billings - launched following sustained growth at both organizations. Between 2021 and 2025, Hearts & Science increased its billings by 50%, while Mediahub grew 33% - momentum that has continued into 2026. As result, the new agency debuts with one of the best new business performances in the industry as tracked by the COMvergence real-time dashboards, currently ranking #1 in the US YTD in total new business (wins minus losses, including retentions), and #3 globally and in EMEA, outperforming agencies that are up to three times its size.
Four principles define the new agency's approach:
Outcomes-oriented: An evolving commercial model connects the agency's success with client growth, putting accountability into the operating model. Predictive by design: AI is embedded into workflows and the operating model to expand capacity, strengthen human judgment and give talent more time to solve higher-value problems. Ecosystem mastery: Teams plan holistically across the platforms, communities, creators, and commerce environments where attention and influence move, rather than treating channels as isolated decisions. Focused and senior-led: Expert teams work as extensions of clients' organizations, reducing silos and handoffs while bringing senior guidance and diverse expertise to the work. Like its sibling Omnicom Media agencies OMD, Initiative, PHD and UM, Hearts United will leverage the singular advantages and assets of the world's largest global media network in scale, data & technology, identity, commerce capabilities, and talent to deliver disproportionate growth for its clients.
Hearts United will be led in the U.S. by Nicole Estebanell, who previously served as CEO of Mediahub U.S., and in EMEA by Ross Jenkins, who led Mediahub across that region. Both leaders bring experience scaling high-growth businesses while maintaining the entrepreneurial cultures and client relationships that drove their success. Their counterparts in APAC and LATAM are expected to be announced in Q4.
Hearts United joins the Omnicom Media agency portfolio as the group has the best 2026 YTD total new business performance among all global media groups for 2026 – including earning more new client billings ($4.1b) than any other group - resulting from a streak of wins including Adidas, Delta, Dyson, IBM, Mark Anthony Brands, Novo Nordisk, On, and Subway.

BYD poprvé vydělala víc v zahraničí než v Číně: tržby mimo Čínu vzrostly v 1. pololetí o 34 % na 181,3 miliardy jüanů a tvořily 53 % tržeb. Akcie v Hongkongu ráno klesaly asi o 5 %.
Největšímu světovému výrobci elektromobilů BYD klesl v letošním prvním pololetí čistý zisk meziročně o 20,5 procenta na 12,3 miliardy jüanů. Nižší oproti loňsku byly i tržby, jež klesly o 7,1 procenta na 344,8 miliardy jüanů. Hlavním důvodem je silná konkurence na domácím trhu v kombinaci se zhoršenou poptávkou. Přesto BYD dosáhla historického milníku, když vykázala rekordní exportní čísla.
Tržby společnosti na zahraničních trzích totiž poprvé překonaly příjmy z domácího čínského trhu. Konkrétně tržby mimo Čínu vzrostly meziročně o 34 procent na 181,3 miliardy jüanů (zhruba 27 mld. USD). Zahraniční prodeje tak představují 53 procent celkových příjmů automobilky. Naopak v regionu Velké Číny se tržby propadly o 31 procent.
Díky silnějším výsledkům v zahraničí se společnosti zvýšil alespoň čistý kvartální zisk, a to poprvé za posledních pět čtvrtletí, když ve druhém kvartálu dosáhl 8,2 mld. juanů (1,2 mld. USD), což představuje 30procentní růst.
Vývoj na domácím trhu potvrzuje rostoucí problémy čínského automobilového trhu. Přestože se jedná o největší automobilový trh světa, tak konkurenční boj vedoucí mj. ke snižování marží dosáhl takové intenzity, že ani domácí lídr není schopen spoléhat na stabilní ziskovost. Výrobci proto hledají příležitosti za hranicemi, kde mohou prodávat vozy za vyšší ceny a dosahovat výrazně lepších marží, informuje Bloomberg.
Ve své pololetní zprávě BYD uvedla, že čínský automobilový sektor vstoupil do fáze „hlubokých změn a diferenciace“, kterou charakterizuje slabší domácí poptávka, a naopak rychlý růst exportu. Firma zároveň očekává, že její zahraniční expanze bude pokračovat i ve druhé části roku.
Akcie společnosti nereagovaly na výsledky pozitivně. V pondělí ráno v Hongkongu vykazovaly přibližně pětiprocentní pokles.
Pro tradiční zahraniční automobilky je každopádně situace v Číně ještě horší. Značky jako Volkswagen nebo Mercedes-Benz po dvě desetiletí těžily z rychlého růstu čínské ekonomiky a automobilového trhu, teď se ale karta obrátila – stále více čínských zákazníků dává přednost domácím značkám, protože zahraniční vozy považuje za drahé a technologicky méně atraktivní.
Útlum v čínském automobilovém průmyslu pokračuje už desátý měsíc v řadě. Podle údajů China Passenger Car Association se prodeje osobních vozů v červenci meziročně snížily o 21 procent. Pokračující cenová válka nutí výrobce snižovat ceny, což se negativně promítá do tržeb i ziskovosti.
Další vrstvu nejistoty představuje přísnější dohled čínských úřadů. Peking v posledních měsících avizoval detailnější kontrolu rychlého vývoje nových modelů a chce zajistit, aby výrobci ve snaze o uvedení novinek na trh neomezovali bezpečnostní standardy.
Právě export je proto pro čínské automobilky klíčovým motorem růstu. V červenci vzrostly zahraniční dodávky osobních vozidel z Číny meziročně o 88 procent. Hlavní výhodu pro čínské značky představuje skutečnost, že mohou své automobily prodávat výrazně dráž než doma, a přesto jsou vůči místním výrobcům cenově konkurenceschopné, upozorňuje Bloomberg.
Příkladem budiž plug-in hybridní SUV BYD Seal U. Zatímco na německém trhu začíná jeho cena na 39 900 eurech, tak domácí čínská verze se prodává za méně než polovinu této částky. Vyšší zahraniční marže se následně promítají do hospodaření firmy, o čemž svědčí i výše zmíněné výsledky za samotný druhý kvartál.
I když tempo prodejů zatím zaostává za celoročními cíli společnosti, tak analytici očekávají, že zlepšená čísla (za 2Q) budou pokračovat i ve druhé polovině roku. Odhady sestavené Bloombergem dokonce předpokládají, že zisky a tržby dosáhnou ve čtvrtém čtvrtletí rekordních maxim.
Zpoždění nové továrny v Maďarsku
Na druhé straně rizika ale zůstávají značná. Pro čínské výrobce je americký trh prakticky uzavřen a také v Evropě sílí snahy o omezení dovozu vozidel z Číny. Evropská unie již zavedla dodatečná cla na elektromobily vyrobené v Číně a podle médií zvažuje obdobný postup i u hybridních vozů. Podobná opatření přijaly také některé další země včetně Brazílie a Mexika.
BYD na to reaguje po svém: část automobilů plánuje vyrábět přímo v regionech. Třeba její vlajková továrna v Maďarsku ale čelí komplikacím. Projekt se dostal pod zvýšený dohled kvůli tvrzením o pracovních podmínkách u subdodavatelů a změna politické garnitury v zemi vedla k přezkoumávání dříve schválených pobídek a daňových úlev. Zahájení výroby se proto posunulo přibližně o rok a nyní se očekává až ve čtvrtém čtvrtletí.
Crown Point oznámila, že koncese na těžbu uhlovodíků v oblastech Río Cullen, Las Violetas a La Angostura v argentinské provincii Tierra del Fuego, v nichž její stoprocentně vlastněná argentinská dceřiná společnost Crown Point Energia S.A. držela 48,3275% neprovozní podíl, vypršely 18. srpna 2026 a budou vypořádány a vráceny provincii. Čisté závazky z těchto koncesí firma nečeká jako významné.
CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Point Energy Inc. (TSX-V:CWV) ("Crown Point" or the "Company") announces that the hydrocarbon exploitation concessions in the Río Cullen, Las Violetas and La Angostura areas of the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina (the "TDF Concessions") in which the Company's wholly-owned Argentine subsidiary, Crown Point Energia S.A. ("CPESA"), held a 48.3275% non-operating participating interest, expired on August 18, 2026.
CPESA, together with the other members of the joint venture formed to operate the TDF Concessions, has entered into an agreement with the Province of Tierra del Fuego that provides for the final settlement, closure and reversion of the TDF Concessions to the Province. CPESA will be responsible for its share of the trailing liabilities associated with the TDF Concessions (including severance costs and abandonment liabilities), which will be offset by the remaining assets associated with the TDF Concessions (including accounts receivable, materials and crude oil inventories). CPESA's trailing net liabilities associated with the TDF Concessions are not expected to be material to Crown Point.
Due to Crown Point's acquisition of operated oil and gas assets in the Golfo San Jorge basin in the Provinces of Santa Cruz and Chubut during the last several years, the TDF Concessions were not material to Crown Point. The TDF Concessions had high fixed operating costs, declining production volumes, no identified low risk economic drilling opportunities and much lower operating netbacks than the Company's corporate average. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, revenue from the TDF Concessions represented less than 5% of the Company's total revenue for the period.
Sproule International Limited, the Company's independent qualified reserves evaluator, evaluated the oil and natural gas reserves attributable to all of the Company's properties as at December 31, 2025 (the "Sproule ERCE Report"). The gross proved plus probable oil and gas reserves ("2P Reserves") assigned to the TDF Concessions in the Sproule ERCE Report represented less than 4% of the total 2P Reserves assigned to all of Crown Point's properties in the Sproule ERCE Report. The net present value (before tax, discounted at 10%) of the 2P Reserves ("2P NPV") assigned to the TDF Concessions in the Sproule ERCE Report represented less than 3% of the total 2P NPV assigned to all of Crown Point's properties in the Sproule ERCE Report.

Key Takeaways Illumina raised 2026 revenue and EPS guidance as second-quarter revenues climbed 9.5% year over year. Oncology led clinical growth, while StrataMap Spatial and SomaLogic offerings broadened customer use cases. ILMN faces margin pressure from tariffs, freight and memory costs despite maintaining manageable leverage. Illumina Inc. (ILMN - Free Report) is well positioned for growth in the coming quarters, driven by strategic execution focused on growing its core sequencing business, expanding multiomics and developing services, data and software capabilities. Ongoing momentum in oncology is boosting clinical growth. Additionally, a strong solvency looks encouraging. However, input-cost volatility may constrain incremental margin expansion over the next several quarters.
Over the past year, this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock has surged 129.6%, well ahead of the industry’s 24.6% growth and the S&P 500 composite’s rise of 20.1.%.
The renowned biotechnology company has a market capitalization of $27.82 billion. ILMN’s earnings yield of 2.4% is well ahead of the industry’s -14.9% yield. The company beat on earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 9.7%.
Let’s delve deeper.
Tailwinds Supporting ILMN StockSharpened Focus on Core Genomics: Following the June 2024 GRAIL spin-off, Illumina remains centered on its core sequencing franchise while extending into multiomics, data and software. The second-quarter 2026 results offered further evidence that the strategy is beginning to gain traction. Revenues rose 9.5% year over year to $1.16 billion, supported by continued demand across the business.
Management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $4.60-$4.64 billion and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) guidance to $5.30-$5.40 while maintaining adjusted operating margin projection of 23.4-23.6%. The company continues to target high-single-digit revenue growth in 2027, supported by its core sequencing business, multiomics and data offerings. Together, these developments keep Illumina on track with its longer-term growth and profitability framework and support continued progress toward its stated targets.
Oncology Portfolio and Workflow Expansion Support Adoption: Illumina is broadening the workflows that can run within its sequencing ecosystem as clinical customers adopt larger, more data-intensive assays. In the second quarter of 2026, oncology continued to lead clinical growth, with therapy selection remaining the largest contributor and molecular residual disease (MRD) beginning to gain momentum.
The company also launched a whole-genome MRD research workflow for NovaSeq systems in early access, designed to shorten assay-development timelines and lower development costs. Beyond sequencing, the company launched StrataMap Spatial and continued to expand SomaScan and SomaSeq after the SomaLogic acquisition.

BioInsight has begun generating revenues through the Billion Cell Atlas, which has delivered more than 300 million cells and added three partners after quarter-end, bringing the total to six biopharma partners. These offerings broaden customer use cases and support Illumina’s longer-term multiomics and data strategy.
Favorable Solvency: Illumina ended the second quarter of 2026 with combined cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1.04 billion compared with $1.09 billion at the end of the first quarter.
Current debt was $500 million, broadly unchanged sequentially, while long-term debt remained at $1.49 billion. Gross debt was approximately 1.6 times last-12-month EBITDA, reflecting manageable leverage. The company’s liquidity remains sufficient to support operations, strategic investments and capital returns.
What Ails ILMN Stock?Macroeconomic Cost Risks Remain: Illumina continues to operate in a higher-cost environment shaped by tariffs, freight and component inflation. In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted gross margin was 68.2%, down 120 bps year over year, as a heavier instrument mix, higher freight and memory costs, and lower-margin SomaLogic revenues offset operating initiatives and lower tariff costs. Adjusted operating margin was 22.5%, down 130 bps year over year. Tariffs, shipping costs and memory costs are expected to continue affecting results, leaving margins sensitive to product mix and external cost volatility.
ILMN Stock Estimate TrendThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for ILMN’s 2026 EPS has increased 2.3% to $5.34 in the past 30 days.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s 2026 revenues is pegged at $4.62 billion, calling for a 6.4% rise from the year-ago reported number.

TransUnion ve 2. čtvrtletí překonal odhady: upravený zisk na akcii byl 1,23 USD a tržby 1,31 miliardy USD. Firma zároveň zvýšila celoroční výhled tržeb i upraveného zisku.
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for TransUnion (TRU - Free Report) . Shares have added about 0.9% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is TransUnion due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for TransUnion before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
TransUnion's Q2 Earnings Beat EstimatesTransUnion reported impressive second-quarter 2026 results, with both earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
TRU’s adjusted earnings of $1.23 per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.9% and increased 13.9% from the year-ago quarter’s level. The performance extended the company’s strong start to 2026.
Revenues of $1.31 billion surpassed the consensus estimate by 1.7% and rose 14.9% year over year. Organic constant-currency revenues grew 10% from the year-ago quarter, led by U.S. Financial Services and Emerging Verticals.
TRU's U.S. Markets Growth BroadensU.S. Markets revenues increased 11% to $992.7 million. Financial Services revenues climbed 18% to $496.3 million, reflecting strength across credit and non-credit offerings, pricing actions and new client wins.
Excluding FICO mortgage royalties, Financial Services growth was 10%. Credit Card and Banking revenues increased 6%, while Consumer Lending and Auto each grew 8%. Mortgage revenues advanced 37%, or 15% excluding the royalty benefit, despite a 7% decline in inquiries.
Emerging Verticals revenues rose 9% to $353.9 million. Insurance delivered its eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, while technology, retail and e-commerce produced high-single-digit growth.
Consumer Interactive revenues declined 3% to $142.5 million. Growth through indirect channels was offset by continued weakness in the direct-to-consumer business.
TransUnion's International Growth AcceleratesInternational revenues increased 27% to $320.8 million, including the contribution from Trans Union de Mexico. On an organic constant-currency basis, growth accelerated to 6% from flat performance in the first quarter.
Canada revenues rose 10% to $46.4 million, supported by financial services, fintech and insurance demand. The United Kingdom revenues increased 9% to $73.5 million, benefiting from market-share gains and new business across banking and fintech.
India revenues returned to growth, rising 8% on a constant-currency basis, as credit volumes improved and new client wins strengthened. Latin America grew 5% organically, while Africa advanced 5%. Asia Pacific declined 7%, although management expects the region to return to growth in the second half.
Trans Union de Mexico continued to perform ahead of the company’s acquisition assumptions. Management plans to expand its data coverage, introduce TruIQ analytics and eventually migrate the business to the OneTru platform.
TRU's Margin Picture Reflects Royalty DragAdjusted EBITDA increased 12% to $456.1 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 90 basis points to 34.8%, with management attributing the decline entirely to FICO mortgage royalties.
U.S. Markets adjusted EBITDA rose 7% to $361 million, while its margin declined to 36.4% from 37.9%. International adjusted EBITDA increased 27% to $136.8 million, while its margin held steady at 42.7%.
GAAP net income attributable to TransUnion increased to $143.4 million from $109.6 million. Diluted GAAP earnings were 74 cents per share, up from 56 cents in the prior-year quarter.
TransUnion's Cash Flow Supports BuybacksTransUnion ended June with $839.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.59 billion in total debt. Its leverage ratio declined to 2.6X, supported by adjusted EBITDA growth.
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $459.1 million in the first six months of 2026, up from $343.8 million a year earlier. Capital expenditures decreased to $134.4 million from $145.4 million.
The company repurchased roughly $150 million of shares through July, including 2.1 million shares at an average price of about $71. Management expects second-half repurchases to be at least comparable to the first-half pace while continuing to target leverage below 2.5X.
TRU’s Q3 & 2026 OutlookFor the third quarter, TransUnion expects revenues to be between $1.292 billion and $1.310 billion, representing reported growth of 11-12%. Organic constant-currency growth is projected at 6-8%.
TRU guided its third-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings to be between $1.18 and $1.21 per share. Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be between $455 million and $463 million, with a margin of 35.2-35.4%.
For 2026, the company raised its revenue outlook to $5.127-$5.162 billion, implying growth of 12-13%. Organic constant-currency growth remains projected at 8-9%.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected between $1.807 billion and $1.827 billion. Adjusted earnings guidance increased to $4.75-$4.83 per share from the earlier range of $4.68-$4.75, reflecting stronger first-half execution and improved contributions from Mexico.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates review.
VGM ScoresAt this time, TransUnion has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. However, the stock was allocated a score of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Notably, TransUnion has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Vistra má dvacetileté kontrakty s Amazon Web Services a Meta na 3 809 megawattů jaderné produkce, což jí dává neobvykle silnou viditelnost příjmů. Akcie jsou přitom asi 37 % pod 52týdenním maximem.
Electricity demand is doing something it hasn't done in decades in the United States: growing fast. Vistra (VST -1.95%), one of the country's largest competitive power producers, told investors in its latest quarterly filing that data centers, the electrification of oil field operations, and electric vehicles are contributing to projected "fast-paced load growth" in the markets it serves.
You wouldn't know it from the stock. Shares have dropped about 37% from a 52-week high of $219.82, to about $139 as of this writing. And Vistra has company, as the whole independent power group has sold off this year. Nuclear operator Constellation Energy, for instance, is down about 32% from its own high.
With demand for Vistra's product climbing while its share price falls, is this a buying opportunity?
Image source: Getty Images.
A strong year, mostly locked inVistra's latest results, reported earlier this month, showed a business moving in the opposite direction from its share price. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from ongoing operations rose about 31% year over year in the second quarter, to $1.77 billion from $1.35 billion a year earlier, helped by higher realized power and capacity prices and contributions from recently acquired plants.
Management also reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $6.8 billion to $7.6 billion. Even more, it said it expects to land at or above the midpoint of that range.
The cash generation behind those earnings is substantial. The company guides to adjusted free cash flow before growth investments of about $3.9 billion to $4.7 billion this year. Against a market capitalization of about $47 billion, the midpoint works out to a roughly 9% free-cash-flow yield.
And unusually for a business tied to commodity power prices, this year's results are largely spoken for. Management says about 100% of its expected 2026 generation volumes are hedged. Topping it all off, the company has been shrinking its share count aggressively, repurchasing about $6.5 billion of stock since late 2021 and reducing shares outstanding by about 30%.
Amazon and Meta signed on for 20 yearsThe development I find more important for the long run, though, is who is signing up to buy Vistra's power -- and for how long.
In September 2025, the company struck a 20-year power purchase agreement with Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing arm of Amazon (AMZN +3.97%), to supply 1,200 megawatts of carbon-free power from its Comanche Peak nuclear plant in Texas. Deliveries are expected to begin in late 2027.
In January, Vistra followed with 20-year agreements with Meta Platforms (META +1.21%) covering 2,609 megawatts of nuclear power and capacity from its Perry, Davis-Besse, and Beaver Valley plants, including new capacity from planned upgrades to all three. Deliveries under the Meta deals start late this year.
Notably, those Meta agreements aren't even in the company's 2027 outlook yet. Management points to an adjusted EBITDA "midpoint opportunity" of $7.4 billion to $7.8 billion for 2027 excluding them (and excluding a pending acquisition of gas plants). Vistra has also committed up to $1.0 billion to Helix, a new data center infrastructure venture where it will serve as the preferred power partner.
In short, nearly 4,000 megawatts of the company's nuclear output is now contracted to two of the world's largest technology companies for two decades each. That's revenue visibility competitive power producers rarely get.

Adjusted EBITDA is up 31%, guidance is intact, and decades-long contracts keep stacking up. Yet the stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of about 13. The drawdown looks less like a verdict on Vistra and more like the market cooling on the AI-power trade that got crowded in 2025.
Sure, there are risks. Vistra sells into competitive markets, so beyond its hedges and contracts, its results ride on power prices no one controls. A slowdown in data center construction could test the demand thesis. And second-quarter net income was just $305 million, weighed down by unrealized losses on hedging positions -- lumpy accounting that comes with this business model.
But at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of about 13, with this much of the future under contract, I think the stock is attractive. And I'd be a buyer at today's price. If power prices roll over or the data center deals stop coming, that would change my thinking. For now, I'd simply size the position with the volatility in mind.

Shares of Celsius Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CELH) are trading lower Thursday morning, breaking a multi-week recovery effort. The retreat follows a Wall Street analyst downgrade by Deutsche Bank.
Here’s what investors need to know.
Celsius Holdings stock is taking a hit today. What’s weighing on CELH shares? Deutsche Bank Downgrade Triggers Premarket Selling PressureThe primary catalyst driving Thursday’s decline was a downgrade from Deutsche Bank, which lowered its rating on Celsius Holdings from Buy to Hold.
The bank cited lingering execution headwinds following the company’s second-quarter earnings report on Aug. 6, where Celsius posted revenue of $817.9 million (missing Wall Street expectations of $870 million) and a 11.7% year-over-year sales decline in its flagship Celsius brand.
Recent Institutional Inflows and Leadership Changes Face RetestThe pullback interrupts a recent rally fueled by regulatory filings on Aug. 13, revealing that Ranger Investment Management L.P. initiated a new 465,470-share stake, alongside management restructuring announced on Aug. 10, promoting Tyler Bohannon to Chief Commercial Officer.
Thursday’s downgrade underlines that despite portfolio contributions from newly integrated brands like Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy, investors could remain cautious over core brand trajectory and inventory rebalancing in the second half of the year.

IonQ ve 2. čtvrtletí vykázala rekordní tržby přes 80 milionů USD, meziročně o 287 % více, a zvýšila celoroční výhled na 280 až 290 milionů USD. Zůstává ale hluboko ve ztrátě a její provozní náklady přesáhly 417 milionů USD.
Quantum computing stocks have been one of the hottest trades in recent years. Emerging leaders IonQ (IONQ -7.68%), Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum are up between 20% and 50% from their April lows. Look out even further, and this trio has soared between 480% and 1,710% over the past two years. While IonQ is growing at blazing speeds, it's too hot for me to handle.
Here's why I'm not ready to buy this top quantum computing stock.
Image source: Getty Images.
There's a lot to like about IonQ I want to start by saying I'm genuinely intrigued by IonQ. The quantum computing company isn't all hype. It reported record revenues of more than $80 million in the second quarter, up an astonishing 287% year over year, driven by deployment across its entire quantum platform. That was its fifth straight quarter of delivering record results and the best quarter in its history.
That rapid growth should continue. IonQ recently raised its full-year guidance to between $280 million and $290 million. That doesn't reflect any contribution from its recent acquisition of SkyWater Technologies, which is creating the first vertically integrated, full-stack quantum platform.

Why IonQ is too hot for me to handle Despite its massive revenue growth, IonQ is a long way from reaching profitability. Its total operating costs and expenses exceeded $417 million in the second quarter, more than five times its revenue. It has incurred a cumulative loss of $608.8 million from operations through the first six months of this year. While the company currently has a strong cash position ($2 billion after closing the SkyWater deal), it's burning through cash rather quickly. As a result, it will probably need to raise additional capital, which would dilute existing investors.
My other concern with IonQ is its valuation. The quantum computing company currently has a nearly $17 billion market cap following the more than 480% jump in its stock price over the past two years. That puts its valuation at over 55 times forward sales. While its revenue is growing rapidly, its valuation is rich. Stocks trading at lofty valuations tend to be very volatile, which has been the case with IonQ. The quantum computing stock has been down as much as 40% and up as much as 60% at various points this year.
This quantum computing stock isn't right for me IonQ is seeing real demand for its growing quantum platform, which it's expanding through acquisitions like SkyWater. It should continue to grow rapidly in the coming years as demand for this emerging technology increases. That has translated to a rich valuation for IonQ, which has become very volatile. It's also losing a lot of money. That makes it too risky for me. While I wouldn't touch IonQ right now, I would consider investing in a quantum computing ETF to gain exposure to this exciting sector while I wait for IonQ's losses to narrow and valuation to come down.
Sonos oznámil za 3. fiskální čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2026 zisk 27 centů na akcii, meziročně o 52 % více, a tržby 375 milionů USD, nad odhady analytiků. Akcie za měsíc přidaly asi 4,6 %.
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Sonos (SONO - Free Report) . Shares have added about 4.6% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Sonos due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Sonos, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Sonos Q3 Earnings Beat
Sonos reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 non-GAAP earnings of 27 cents per share, which soared 52% year over year and topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents. The 12.5% surprise reflected higher sales and disciplined spending despite rising memory costs.
Revenues increased 9% to $375 million, beating the $367 million consensus by 2.3%. Speaker demand and international expansion supported growth. Sonos’ installed base exceeded 53 million connected devices across more than 17 million homes.
Segment Details
Revenues from Sonos speakers rose 12.5% year over year to $285.3 million and remained the company’s largest product category. The quarter included the first full period of availability for Sonos Play and Era 100 SL, both of which contributed meaningfully to revenue growth.
Sonos system products generated $69.3 million, down 5.4%. Partner products and other revenues increased 15.4% to $20.7 million. Amp Multi is scheduled to ship on Aug. 25, extending the company’s offering for professional installers and larger multi-zone projects.
Overseas Markets Outpace the Americas
Americas revenues advanced 3.8% to $238.4 million. Europe, the Middle East and Africa revenues climbed 17.4% to $114.2 million, while Asia-Pacific sales increased 27.2% to $22.7 million.
Foreign exchange added about one percentage point to reported growth. On a constant-currency basis, total revenues rose 7%, accelerating three percentage points from the second quarter.
Margin Gains Offset Memory Inflation
Non-GAAP gross profit increased 10.8% to $170.8 million. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded 80 basis points (bps) to 45.5%, even as higher memory costs created a $14 million year-over-year burden and reduced the margin by roughly 380 bps.
GAAP gross margin was 50.4%, including a $23.2 million benefit from refunds of previously paid tariffs. Excluding that non-recurring benefit, GAAP gross margin was 44.3%, up 90 bps year over year.
GAAP operating expenses increased 3.4% to $157.8 million, mainly due to employee compensation, litigation spending and restructuring charges. Non-GAAP operating expenses rose 2.7% to $134.6 million and remained below the levels recorded in the first two quarters of fiscal 2026.
Adjusted EBITDA grew 23.5% to $44 million, with the margin improving to 11.7% from 10.3%. Non-GAAP operating income reached $36.2 million, up 57.3%, as gross-profit growth outpaced the increase in adjusted expenses.
Cash provided by operating activities increased 23.5% to $46.2 million. Free cash flow rose 23.3% to $40.3 million, while cash and marketable securities totaled $261 million at quarter-end.
Sonos repurchased 2 million shares for $30 million, leaving $35 million under its authorization. Inventories were $158 million, up 37% year over year due to higher memory costs, new product launches and capitalized tariffs.
Q4 Guidance
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, SONO expects revenues of $325 million to $355 million, representing 13% to 23% growth. The 14-week quarter includes an extra week expected to add about $24 million in sales and eight percentage points to growth. Excluding that benefit, growth is projected at 4% to 15%.
GAAP gross margin is forecast between 39% and 41%, with non-GAAP gross margin about 120 bps higher. Management expects memory inflation to reduce gross profit by $35 million year over year. Adjusted EBITDA is projected between a loss of $11 million and a profit of $18 million.
For fiscal 2026, Sonos expects revenue growth of 6% to 8%, or 4% to 6% excluding the extra week. Adjusted EBITDA is projected at $181 million, up 37%, with an 11.7% margin. Management expects memory-mitigation actions to phase in through fiscal 2027.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, fresh estimates have trended upward during the past month.
The consensus estimate has shifted 23.81% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresCurrently, Sonos has a great Growth Score of A, a grade with the same score on the momentum front. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a score of B on the value side, putting it in the top 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of this revision looks promising. Notably, Sonos has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) plánuje v Texasu investovat téměř 1 miliardu USD během příštích pěti let a do roku 2029 otevřít 150 nových finančních center. Po akvizici Comerica tak chce posílit vklady, úvěry i dlouhodobé výnosy.
Key Takeaways FITB plans to invest nearly $1 billion in Texas and open 150 new financial centers by 2029.The Comerica acquisition expanded FITB's footprint across Texas and other high-growth U.S. markets.A larger Texas network will likely aid deposit growth, lending, cross-selling and long-term revenue growth. Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB - Free Report) is intensifying its expansion in Texas, with plans to invest nearly $1 billion in the state over the next five years. The move reflects the bank’s broader strategy of expanding its presence in high-growth U.S. markets to drive long-term growth.
Texas has emerged as a key market for FITB given its strong business activity, population growth and investment potential. The bank gained an important foothold in the state through its February 2026 acquisition of Comerica. This expanded the company’s presence across Texas, the Southeast and California and gave it access to 17 of the 20 fastest-growing large U.S. markets.
Fifth Third is now building on that footprint through an aggressive branch expansion. The bank plans to open 150 new financial centers across Texas by 2029, while 106 existing Comerica financial centers will convert to the Fifth Third brand on Sept. 8. Together, these locations will create a network of more than 250 financial centers and position it among the top four banks by location share in Dallas, Houston and Austin.
The latest dual listing on NYSE Texas also complements FITB’s growth in the state. Following the move of its primary listing from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in June 2026, the bank will also begin trading on NYSE Texas under the same FITB ticker. While the listing itself is not a direct earnings catalyst, it could increase the bank’s visibility among Texas-based investors and businesses, underscoring its growing commitment to the state.
The larger branch network in Texas could help Fifth Third attract deposits and expand lending relationships, while its commercial banking presence could create additional cross-selling opportunities. The bank opened its first Texas financial center in Frisco in April 2026 and plans to establish its Texas regional headquarters in Dallas. These efforts also align with the company’s broader branch strategy, which targets approximately 1,750 locations by 2030 across 17 of the 20 fastest-growing large U.S. markets.
Overall, Texas is becoming an increasingly important growth opportunity for FITB, supported by its established Comerica footprint, significant new investment and branch expansion. The larger presence in Dallas, Houston and Austin could help the company to deepen customer relationships and support long-term deposit, lending and revenue growth.
How Are Other Banks Scaling in Texas?Similar to FITB, other banks like Huntington Bancshares (HBAN - Free Report) and Prosperity Bancshares (PB - Free Report) are expanding their presence in Texas through acquisitions and branch expansion.
Huntington Bancshares strengthened its Texas franchise through the October 2025 acquisition of Veritex Holdings and the February 2026 merger with Cadence Bank, expanding its presence in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and other Southern markets. The transactions also increased its branch network to nearly 1,400 locations across 21 states. Huntington Bancshares expects the Cadence and Veritex integrations to support loan and deposit growth, while cost synergies are expected to bolster profitability.
Prosperity Bancshares has similarly expanded its Texas footprint through acquisitions. It completed its merger with Stellar Bancorp on July 1, 2026, strengthening its presence in Houston, Beaumont, East Texas and Dallas. Earlier, Prosperity Bancshares acquired American Bank Holding Corporation in January 2026 and Southwest Bancshares in February 2026, adding deposits, loans and banking offices in key Texas markets. The combined franchise is expected to enhance scale and create additional revenue and cost synergies.
FITB’s Price Performance & Zacks RankIn the past six months, FITB shares have gained 10.6% compared with the industry’s growth of 18.1%.

Fair Isaac po posledních výsledcích zvýšil výhled výnosů pro fiskální rok 2026 na 2,53 miliardy USD z 2,45 miliardy USD. Akcie za měsíc přidaly asi 1,5 %.
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Fair Isaac (FICO - Free Report) . Shares have added about 1.5% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Fair Isaac due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Fair Isaac Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates on Scores, Revenues Up Y/YFair Isaac Corporation reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 non-GAAP earnings of $12.18 per share, up 42.1% year over year and 1.33% above the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Revenues rose 25.7% to $674.19 million but missed the consensus mark by 0.75%. The quarter benefited from strong business-to-business Scores demand, led by mortgage pricing, while software growth remained modest. Software annual recurring revenues reached $816 million, up 10% year over year, as platform ARR advanced 62%.
FICO Scores Segment Extends LeadScores revenues increased 41% year over year to $458.9 million. Business-to-business revenues climbed 49% year over year, mainly due to a higher mortgage origination score unit price, while business-to-consumer revenues grew 5% year over year on higher royalties from scores sold indirectly through credit reporting agencies.
Mortgage origination revenues surged 97% year over year, with volumes rising in the low-single digits. Mortgage originations accounted for 71% of B2B revenues and 62% of total Scores revenues. Auto originations revenues increased 15% year over year, while credit card, personal loan, and other originations revenues rose 9%.
The FICO Score 10T Adopter Program expanded to 70 lenders and represented $587 billion in eligible annual originations and $1.87 trillion in eligible annual servicing. FICO also signed direct licensing agreements with resellers representing about 60% of U.S. mortgage volume and remained in discussions that could bring coverage closer to 90%.
Fair Isaac Software Mix Shifts to PlatformSoftware revenues edged up 2% year over year to $215.3 million. On a year-over-year basis, SaaS revenues grew 21%, while on-premises revenues declined 16% and professional services revenues fell 24%. Excluding point-in-time and professional services revenues, the segment grew 10% year over year.
Platform revenues jumped 66% and exceeded non-platform revenues for the first time. Platform ARR reached $413 million and represented 51% of total software ARR. Platform dollar-based net retention was 148% compared with 82% for non-platform software, lifting the total retention rate to 109%.
Trailing 12-month software annual contract value bookings rose 39% year over year to $128 million. FICO also expanded its Accenture collaboration to support platform distribution and expects the next-generation FICO Platform, including its enterprise fraud solution, to become generally available later in calendar 2026.
FICO Margins Expand Despite Higher CostsTotal operating expenses increased 13.8% year over year to $311.6 million. Research and development expenses rose 13.8% year over year to $53.7 million, while selling, general and administrative expenses increased 22.8% year over year to $170.8 million.
Operating income increased 38.1% year over year to $362.6 million. The non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 62% from 57% a year earlier, an improvement of 479 basis points. Management noted that strong B2B Scores growth was partly offset by higher personnel and interest expenses.
Fair Isaac’s Balance Sheet and Cash FlowAs of June 30, 2026, FICO had $248.4 million in cash and cash equivalents compared with $219.4 million as of March 31, 2026. Total debt was $5.58 billion.
Net cash from operating activities was $380.4 million, up from $286.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow increased to $370.3 million from $276.2 million. Trailing 12-month free cash flow totaled $961 million, up 28%.
FICO repurchased 1.705 million shares for $1.96 billion at an average price of $1,149 per share, marking its largest quarterly repurchase in dollar terms.
FICO Raises Fiscal 2026 OutlookManagement lifted fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $2.53 billion from $2.45 billion. GAAP net income is now expected to be $850 million, with GAAP earnings projected to be $36.86 per share.
Non-GAAP net income guidance increased to $979 million from $946 million, while non-GAAP earnings guidance rose to $42.43 per share from $40.45. The updated view reflects continued Scores momentum and software-platform execution.
Fourth-quarter operating expenses are expected to be modestly higher sequentially because of marketing tied to the Accenture partnership and anticipated one-time restructuring charges. Elevated interest rates and affordability pressures also continue to keep mortgage originations below historical norms.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates review.
The consensus estimate has shifted -6.74% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Fair Isaac has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. Following the exact same course, the stock was allocated a grade of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, Fair Isaac has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Performance of an Industry PlayerFair Isaac is part of the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry. Over the past month, CoStar Group (CSGP - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 6.4%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended June 2026 more than a month ago.
CoStar reported revenues of $925 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +18.4%. EPS of $0.32 for the same period compares with $0.17 a year ago.
CoStar is expected to post earnings of $0.33 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +43.5%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -4.8%.
CoStar has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of C.

Energy Transfer se stává jedním z největších dodavatelů zemního plynu pro datová centra spojená s AI. Má už několik smluv, včetně dodávek pro tři datová centra Oracle, Nexus a Crusoe.
If you were making a list of the companies cashing in on the AI data center build-out boom, a gas pipeline company known for paying dividends probably wouldn't be there. That could be a costly omission. Pipeline giant Energy Transfer (ET -0.33%) has quietly become one of the biggest natural gas suppliers to data centers. That's putting it in a strong position to cash in on the AI power boom.
Here's a closer look at why Energy Transfer should be on your AI investment list.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Turning on the gasData centers need lots of power, and they need it quickly. The country's electric grid can't keep up with the load requirements or the need for speed. As a result, natural gas is becoming a critical solution to the AI power problem. A growing number of data center developers are turning to gas to fuel on-site power from gas turbines and fuel cells.
They're also turning to Energy Transfer as their gas supplier of choice. Its extensive gas infrastructure includes nearly 107,000 miles of pipelines linking supply sources to demand centers. It has signed several deals to supply gas to support AI data center demand.

One of its biggest deals is with cloud giant Oracle. Energy Transfer will provide about 900,000 Mcf/d of natural gas to three of its U.S. data centers. Oracle is using this gas to power Bloom Energy's advanced fuel cells at one of the sites. It also has a 150,000 Mcf/d deal to supply Nexus with gas for an AI hyperscale campus currently under construction, and an agreement to supply gas to support a 900-megawatt AI factory campus for Crusoe. Additionally, it has an agreement to provide 150,000 Mcf/d of gas to a data center site in Arkansas.
Energy Transfer is also providing more gas to utilities to support growing power demand from AI data centers. It signed a 20-year deal with Entergy to provide at least 250,000 MMBtu/d of gas starting in December 2028. Entergy needs more gas to power data centers, including those Meta Platforms is building in Louisiana. Additionally, it's supplying a total of 300,000 Mcf/d of gas to four new gas-fired power plants in Oklahoma between now and the end of 2028.
High-return investmentsThose projects are only the beginning. Energy Transfer is in advanced discussions with multiple power plants, data centers, and other demand customers for significant additional gas volumes.
Most of its projects will involve building a pipeline lateral from its existing network to connect a new data center or power plant. These projects require a minimal capital investment and generate strong returns. Additionally, growing gas demand is enabling the company to make larger investments, including constructing larger-scale pipelines to transport additional volumes to demand centers and developing additional gathering and processing infrastructure in production basins. Energy Transfer currently has several large-scale gas pipelines under construction, including the $2.7 billion Hugh Brinson and up to $5.6 billion Desert Southwest to support data center and power demand growth in Texas and Arizona, respectively. These larger-scale projects have strong returns.
These investments support Energy Transfer's continued strong growth. It expects to grow its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) by at least 17.5% this year. It currently has projects underway that should enter commercial service through early 2030, including those to support growing demand for oil and natural gas liquids. These projects give it strong growth visibility. That supports its view that it can increase its already high-yielding distribution (over 6%) by 3%-5% annually.
There are risks involved with this backlog. Energy Transfer recently ran into a permitting issue that will delay one Oracle-linked gas pipeline project by six months. There will likely also be delays to future data center developments due to local opposition and other issues. Despite that, gas-fueled onsite power remains a faster solution than waiting on the grid.
Don't overlook Energy TransferThe AI data center build-out story is broader than you might think. It's fueling robust demand for natural gas, which is benefiting sleepy pipeline stocks like Energy Transfer. The master limited partnership (an entity that issues a Schedule K-1 Federal tax form) is an overlooked way to cash in on the boom. That cash will come each quarter via its high-yielding payout.

Capesize C5TC (BCI-182) time charter equivalent (TCE) earnings averaged USD 39,806 per day during Q2 2026, compared to a 10-year historical average of USD 22,926 per day2. Average sector earnings in the second quarter were supported by robust major bulk volumes, firm minor bulk activity, and generally tighter effective fleet supply. Continuing on a strong Q2, the Capesize C5TC (BCI-182) average for July stands at 38,646 USD/day, 13,671 USD/day higher compared to July 2025 (BCI-182 recalculated basis) – and increased further in August up to 46,201 USD/day.
Iron ore trade remained a key pillar of dry bulk demand during the second quarter of 2026. Overall global iron ore seaborne transportation increased by 0.9% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and by 12.2% between Q1 2026 and Q2 2026. China imported 316.4 million tonnes of iron ore in Q2, up 0.6% year-on-year, bringing first-half imports to 637.4 million tonnes, an increase of 5.1% compared to the same period last year. Although Chinese steel production remains under pressure, domestic iron ore production declined by 7% year-on-year to 466.9 million tonnes during the first half of the year, increasing reliance on higher-quality imported ores.
Looking ahead, continued strength in seaborne iron ore trade is supported by the production and shipment guidance of the major iron ore miners and the ongoing ramp-up of the Simandou project. Iron ore export volumes historically strengthen in the second half of the year, with weekly shipments typically increasing by approximately 7.7% from week 27 (start H2) through year-end compared with the first H1 weeks. Vale maintained its 2026 production guidance of 335-345 million tonnes, implying second-half production growth ranging from -2.0% to +3.4% year-on-year depending on the outcome within the guidance range. Fortescue's FY27 shipment guidance of 197-207 million tonnes points to broadly stable export volumes, while BHP's FY27 production guidance midpoint of 266 million tonnes is also broadly unchanged year-on-year. Rio Tinto's unchanged 2026 guidance implies a meaningful increase in second-half Pilbara shipments compared with the first half, while the gradual ramp-up of Simandou provides additional support to tonne-mile demand. Although initial Simandou volumes remain modest, the Guinea-China trade route is more than three times longer than the traditional Australia-China iron ore trade, creating a disproportionately positive impact on vessel demand and fleet utilisation.
Coal emerged as one of the strongest contributors to dry bulk demand during the quarter. Global seaborne coal transportation reached 276 million tonnes in Q2 2026, increasing by 11.8% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and by 15.1% between Q1 2026 and Q2 2026. Seaborne coal transportation accelerated following the disruption of Middle East energy flows, as higher LNG prices supported coal consumption in several importing countries (mainly Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). While coal demand remains closely linked to weather patterns and energy markets, current market fundamentals suggest continued support for seaborne coal demand through Q3 and potentially into Q4.
In addition, Chinese domestic coal production was constrained by enhanced safety inspections following a major mining accident, while rising summer temperatures and strong power demand increased import requirements. China’s electricity consumption rose 5.3% year-on-year during the first half of 2026, with repeated records in peak electricity loads. Demand for both thermal and metallurgical coal strengthened, with Australian coal shipments to China nearing multi-year highs in July 2026.
Bauxite continues to be one of the strongest growth commodities in the dry bulk market. Despite recurring rumours regarding export restrictions in Guinea, volumes have remained robust and largely uninterrupted. Global seaborne bauxite transportation reached 60.6 million tonnes in Q2 2026, increasing by 4.6% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and decreasing -13.9% between Q1 2026 and Q2 2026. As per the regular seasonal pattern, volumes eased during the peak rainy season (summer period). Volumes are expected to recover as weather conditions improve by Q3/Q4. As a result, bauxite is expected to remain an important source of tonne-mile demand during the second half of the year and continues to play an increasingly important role in global dry bulk trade growth.
Grain trade also provided solid support to dry bulk markets during the quarter. Global seaborne grains transportation reached 70.0 million tonnes in Q2 2026, increasing by 8.6% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, and by 0.7% between Q1 2026 and Q2 2026. Brazil remained the dominant supplier (128 million tonnes for H1 or 27.8% market share), benefiting from a large crop and competitive pricing, while the United States (87 million tonnes for H1 or 18.9% market share) has gradually regained market share and is expected to increase exports during the upcoming harvest season. The competition between Brazilian and US exports to China is supportive for tonne-mile demand and is expected to sustain healthy vessel utilisation during the second half of 2026 as seasonal trade flows shift between origins.
Weather developments remain an important factor for dry bulk markets. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officially declared El Niño in June 2026, with a 97% chance it will persist through early spring 2027. Historically, major El Niño events have disrupted agricultural production, altered commodity trade patterns, affected hydropower generation and increased coal demand in several regions. Early impacts have already been observed in Asia through stronger electricity demand and changing energy consumption patterns. While full weather effects always remain uncertain, a prolonged and severe El Niño event could support additional commodity trade flows and increase volatility across several dry bulk cargo segments through late 2026 and into 2027.
There have been some reports about a pick-up in demand for coal-fired power generation in Japan and the need to replace the drop in hydro generation as 2Q26 El Niño weather patterns pressured hydropower output. This is happening on the backdrop of reduced gas-fired output on gas-to-coal switching as the Hormuz conflict continues to keep LNG prices high. Coal discharges to Japan have been up 4% year-over-year, with thermal coal discharges increasing to 53.9 million tonnes in H1 2026, whilst coking coal discharges remained largely flat.
Bocimar has 40 (+6NB) Newcastlemaxes on the water (average age 3.2y), 37 Capesize vessels on the water (average age 11.2y), and 30 Kamsarmax/Panamax vessels on the water (average age 7.4y).
Crude tanker markets experienced exceptional volatility during Q2 2026, primarily driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the disruption of shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz (SOH) and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Transit volumes through the Strait of Hormuz declined materially beginning of March from on average 120 daily crossing to on average 10 daily crossings between March and mid-June. On 17 June, the presidents of the US and Iran signed the Islamabad Memorandum, that formalized the process of ending the war and established a 60-day period to negotiate the final terms of a deal, enabling a temporary ceasefire. This resulted in a rapid recovery of Strait of Hormuz traffic with on average more than 40 daily SOH crossing. Geopolitical tensions escalated again in early July, and the ceasefire ended on July 7th. As a resultant, daily crossing dropped again towards on average 20 daily crossings. Both sides have since treated the Islamabad MoU as void, the US blockade is reported as still operating, Bab el-Mandeb transits have fallen to multi-month lows on renewed Houthi activity – increasing the likelihood of Red Sea escalation risk.
The resulting scramble for available tonnage led to sharp spikes in spot freight rates across key benchmark routes. Against this backdrop, VLCC time charter equivalent (TCE) earnings averaged USD 140,029 per day in Q2 2026, compared to a Q2 10-year historical average of USD 30,198 per day. Suezmax earnings followed a similar trajectory, with Q2 2026 TCE averaging USD 146,567 per day versus a Q2 10-year average of USD 30,946 per day.
The disruption also led to a widespread reconfiguration of global crude trade flows. Importing nations increasingly sourced barrels from alternative regions, while exporters outside the Middle East, including the United States, Brazil, Kazakhstan and Venezuela, increased shipments to partially offset lost Arabian Gulf volumes. Longer voyage distances and a more complex trading environment temporarily supported tonne-mile demand and fleet utilisation. At the same time, elevated uncertainty around regional security conditions delayed a full return to normal trading patterns and encouraged charterers to secure tonnage well in advance. However, despite the strong freight market performance, several underlying market indicators suggest a more cautious medium-term outlook.
During the recent disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, Chinese crude imports declined sharply, as buyers drew on substantial inventories rather than competing aggressively for replacement barrels. China’s strategic and commercial crude inventories were estimated at around 1.25 billion barrels at the end of 2025, providing a significant buffer against supply shocks and elevated prices. This inventory position enables China to be a price-sensitive and tactical buyer of seaborne crude oil. Rather than acting as a passive source of demand, China can increasingly time purchases depending on price levels, refinery margins and geopolitical risk. This helped cushion the immediate impact of the Iran-related disruption on global oil prices, but it also makes future crude import demand more dependent on inventory cycles and opportunistic restocking. For crude tanker demand, the medium-term outlook therefore depends not only on underlying oil consumption, but also on the pace at which China rebuilds inventories. Once the oil prices settle again, restocking in China (and other Asian economies) could support seaborne crude flows and tonne-mile demand. At the same time, Chinese refiners remain cautious amid weakened domestic fuel demand, high product inventories and continued fuel substitution through continuously increasing electrification and growth in the renewables sector, and by oil to coal switching. China’s high EV penetration has allowed some switching to driving on electricity rather than gasoline: gasoline consumption was 23% lower and EV charging volume 60% higher year over year in April and May.
Despite recent geopolitical disruptions, the underlying global oil market continues to face the prospect of a significant supply surplus. To date, there has been no sustained damage to major energy production infrastructure, supporting expectations that global oil supply can recover relatively quickly once tensions ease. In such a scenario, depleted inventories would likely be replenished, and trade flows progressively normalise. While recent events have temporarily supported tanker demand through longer haul voyages, market fundamentals suggest that any prolonged normalisation of Middle-East trade flows could see tanker demand gradually return towards underlying historic levels. Looking ahead, the ever-growing crude tanker orderbook remains an important consideration for the medium-term market balance and earnings outlook. Over the past months, the orderbook experienced the strongest period of newbuilding investment in the last 50 years (620 VLCCs and Suezmax units on order).
Euronav has 2 FSOs (average age 24y), 4 (+1NB) VLCCs (average age <1.0y) and 15 Suezmaxes (average age 8.1y) on the water4.
Container markets strengthened during the second quarter of 2026, supported by resilient cargo demand, continued disruption in Middle Eastern trade lanes and elevated congestion across key transhipment hubs. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the delayed return of Red Sea transits extended voyage distances, tightened effective vessel supply and supported both freight and charter markets. As a result, time charter rates reached their highest levels outside the post-pandemic period, while freight rates increased materially throughout the quarter, particularly on the Asia-Europe and Transpacific trades. Global trade volumes remained resilient despite regional disruptions, supported by robust demand on the main East-West routes, Intra-Asia and North-South trades.
Peak season demand, ongoing supply chain adjustments and a gradual rather than immediate normalisation of Middle East trade flows are expected to support freight and charter markets during the remainder of the summer period. On the other side, China's official manufacturing PMI fell to 49.2 in July (from 50.3), returning to contraction after four months of expansion. The deterioration in both domestic and export demand points to softer demand for containerised imports of raw materials and intermediate goods, as well as slower growth in container exports in the coming months. If export demand continues to weaken, container shipping volumes on the major Asia–Europe and Transpacific trade lanes are likely to come under pressure.
While global container trade is still expected to continue growing during 2026 (+3.0% year-on-year in billion TEU-miles), fleet growth is forecast to exceed demand growth, supported by a historically large orderbook representing approximately 38% of the existing fleet. In addition, any eventual normalisation of Red Sea routing would reduce tonne-mile demand and increase effective vessel supply – meaning that for 2027, container demand is forecast to decrease by -5.8% in billion TEU-miles.
Delphis has 4 x 6,000 TEU (average age 1.8y) on the water and 1 NB 1,400 TEU container vessel. All vessels are employed under 10 to 15-year time charter contracts.
Bochem – Chemical Markets6
Chemical tanker markets remained relatively resilient during the second quarter of 2026 despite significant disruption to global trade flows following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. While chemical trade volumes temporarily declined and tanker transits through the region fell sharply, freight markets benefited from vessel dislocations, supply chain reconfiguration and longer voyage distances on selected routes. Spot freight rates remained above pre-conflict levels, supported by strong export activity from both the United States and Asia. US producers continued to benefit from a feedstock cost advantage, increasing exports to Europe, Latin America and Asia, while Chinese exporters leveraged strong inventories and feedstock flexibility to maintain robust regional trade flows.
As the quarter progressed, market participants adapted to the new operating environment, with chemical cargoes increasingly rerouted between regions. Demand for aromatics and petrochemical feedstocks remained broadly healthy, supported by inventory replenishment and shifting sourcing patterns. These developments generated additional tonne-mile demand on several long-haul corridors, partly offsetting reduced activity in the Middle East. At the same time, firm conditions in adjacent product tanker markets helped support vessel utilisation across the chemical tanker sector.
Looking ahead, the market outlook for the second half of 2026 remains constructive but subject to elevated uncertainty. The gradual normalisation of Hormuz transits should support a recovery in trade activity, although chemical cargo flows may take longer than crude oil and refined products to return to historical patterns. Furthermore, the sector faces a sizeable orderbook, with a meaningful number of chemical and product tanker deliveries scheduled through 2026-2028. While expected growth in seaborne chemical trade should absorb part of this additional capacity, the pace of demand recovery and vessel deliveries will be key determinants of freight market performance.
Bochem’s chemical tanker fleet comprises out of 8 delivered vessels, and 8 NB vessels (average age <1y). They are employed under a 10-year time charter (8 vessels), under a 7-year time charter (6 vessels), and in a spot pool (2 vessels).
The offshore energy market remained robust during the second quarter of 2026 despite a challenging investment backdrop for the wider offshore wind industry. While project sanctioning activity remained subdued, with only limited new final investment decisions recorded during the period, offshore wind construction, commissioning and operations & maintenance activity continued at high levels across Europe and Asia. A near-record pipeline of projects under construction supported strong demand for both CSOVs and CTVs, resulting in high utilisation and healthy chartering activity.
The European CSOV market remained particularly strong throughout the quarter. High fleet utilisation, limited prompt vessel availability and continued demand from offshore wind installation and maintenance campaigns supported attractive charter rates. Premium CSOVs were largely committed through the summer season, with charter rates typically ranging between EUR 50,000 and EUR 75,000 per day. Demand broadened beyond offshore wind as oil and gas operators increasingly adopted walk-to-work solutions for offshore maintenance activities. This growing crossover demand helped absorb additional capacity entering the market and further strengthened utilisation levels. European Tier-1 CSOV utilisation remained close to full employment, while average charter rates increased year-on-year. Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, market fundamentals remain supportive. Offshore wind construction activity across Europe, particularly in the Baltic Sea and North Sea, is expected to sustain strong demand for offshore support vessels, while emerging opportunities in the oil and gas sector provide an additional source of employment for CSOVs. However, visibility beyond 2026 remains more balanced with the rapid CSOV fleet expansion.
The CTV market also delivered solid performance during the quarter. Vessel availability tightened significantly ahead of the summer maintenance season, with most vessels fixed on contracts and only limited spot capacity available. Strong utilisation across Northwest Europe supported stable charter rates at historically attractive levels. Continued growth in offshore wind operational capacity and increasing maintenance requirements provided a supportive backdrop for vessel demand, while newbuild ordering activity remained disciplined.
Windcat has 3 (+4NB) CSOVs (average age <1y), and 60 (+3NB) CTVs (average age 10.4y).

Everest ve 2. čtvrtletí 2026 vytvořil 317 milionů USD ze zisku z upisování, i když hrubé předepsané pojistné meziročně kleslo o 7,1 %. V Treaty Reinsurance snížil pojistné o 9,1 % a udržel combined ratio na 88,5 %.
Key Takeaways Everest generated $317 million of underwriting income despite a 7.1% decline in gross written premiums. The Reinsurance Treaty posted an 88.5% combined ratio as Everest cut premiums and casualty exposure. Portfolio optimization is shifting capacity toward higher-return specialty and international opportunities. Everest Group, Ltd. (EG - Free Report) appears capable of sustaining underwriting profitability despite slower premium growth, supported by disciplined portfolio management, selective risk-taking and an improving business mix. In the second quarter of 2026, Everest’s core businesses generated $317 million of underwriting income and a 90% combined ratio, even as gross written premiums declined 7.1% year over year. This performance suggests management is willing to sacrifice volume when pricing or terms do not meet required return thresholds.
Underwriting discipline remains the key support. In Treaty Reinsurance, Everest reduced premiums by 9.1%, including a 19% reduction in casualty, while maintaining an 88.5% combined ratio. The decline in premiums alongside strong underwriting margins indicates that Everest is prioritizing risk-adjusted profitability over top-line growth. Management has been selectively reducing or exiting business that does not meet return requirements while reallocating capacity toward specialty areas such as data centers, construction and renewable energy, where risk-adjusted returns remain more attractive.
Everest’s margin strength is therefore shifting from favorable pricing toward underwriting discipline, portfolio optimization and business-mix improvement. Sustained underwriting profitability despite lower premiums would indicate that portfolio restructuring is producing a more profitable and capital-efficient book of business. If management continues to reduce underpriced casualty and property exposures and redeploy capacity toward higher-return specialty and international opportunities, improving underwriting margins could partially offset slower premium growth.
Overall, Everest’s strategy is increasingly focused on risk-adjusted profitability rather than premium growth. The principal risks include further deterioration in reinsurance pricing, elevated catastrophe losses and adverse casualty reserve development.
What About Its Peers?Chubb Limited’s (CB - Free Report) profitable underwriting directly increases its earnings. Chubb Limited benefits from both underwriting income and investment income. Consistent underwriting profits increase the amount of capital Chubb Limited can retain within the business. This supports balance-sheet strength, business expansion and investments in technology, data and AI.
RLI Corp.’s (RLI - Free Report) decentralized underwriting model supports strong underwriting profitability by giving individual business units significant autonomy to assess risks, price policies and select accounts based on specialized expertise. Underwriting profit is a core earnings driver and competitive advantage for RLI because it allows the company to generate profits directly from its insurance operations, rather than relying primarily on investment income.

Patterson-UTI za poslední měsíc přidala asi 24,5 % po zveřejnění výsledků za 2Q, kdy upravený zisk byl na bodu zvratu a tržby 1,23 mld. USD překonaly odhady.
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Patterson-UTI (PTEN - Free Report) . Shares have added about 24.5% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Patterson-UTI due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Patterson-UTI Energy Q2 Earnings & Revenues Beat EstimatesPatterson-UTI Energy (PTEN - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of break-even, outperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 3 cents per share. The bottom line improved from the year-ago quarter's adjusted loss of 6 cents, primarily due to stronger performance in its Completion Services segment and year-over-year improvement in the Drilling Products and Other operations.
Houston, TX-based oil and gas drilling company’s total revenues of $1.23 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.15 billion by 7%. The top line also increased about 0.7% year over year, driven by improved activity and pricing in the Completion Services segment, along with higher revenues from Drilling Products and Other operations.
PTEN’s board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share, payable on Sept. 15, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Sept. 1.
PTEN’s Q2 Segmental PerformancesDrilling Services: Revenues in this segment totaled $373.5 million, down 7.5% from the year-ago quarter's $403.8 million, but beat our estimate of $350.7 million.
Operating income declined to $22.7 million from $40.6 million a year ago, primarily due to a non-cash charge related to the Colombia exit. The reported figure also missed our operating income estimate of $41.1 million.
Completion Services: Segment revenues increased 4.8% year over year to $753.6 million from $719.3 million and beat our estimate of $659.1 million.
Operating income totaled $8.2 million against an operating loss of $29.2 million in the prior-year quarter. This improvement was driven by high pressure pumping utilization, better pricing and continued growth in integrated completion services. The reported figure beat our expectation of an operating loss of $17.6 million.
Drilling Products: Revenues increased 3.3% year over year to $91.3 million from $88.4 million and beat our estimate of $80.4 million.
Operating income improved to $8.3 million from $6.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Record international revenues and stronger U.S. revenue per industry rig offset disruptions in the Middle East and seasonal weakness in Canada. However, the reported operating income beat our estimate of $2.7 million.
Other: Revenues amounted to $9.5 million, up 21.8% from the year-ago quarter’s $7.8 million and beat our estimate of $7.7 million.
Operating income improved to $5.1 million from a loss of $2 million in the second quarter of 2025, aided by higher oil prices. The reported figure beat our operating income estimate of $2.3 million.
PTEN’s Capital Expenditure & Financial PositionIn the reported quarter, PTEN spent $155.9 million on capital programs compared with $144.2 million in the prior-year period. As of June 30, 2026, this company had cash and cash equivalents of $203.2 million and long-term debt of $1.23 billion. Its debt-to-capitalization was 28.5%.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a upward trend in estimates revision.
The consensus estimate has shifted 96.88% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Patterson-UTI has a nice Growth Score of B, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with an A. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a score of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Notably, Patterson-UTI has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Performance of an Industry PlayerPatterson-UTI belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Drilling industry. Another stock from the same industry, Noble Corporation PLC (NE - Free Report) , has gained 12.8% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.
Noble Corporation PLC reported revenues of $719.69 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -15.2%. EPS of $0.01 for the same period compares with $0.13 a year ago.
Noble Corporation PLC is expected to post earnings of $0.13 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -31.6%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -45.7%.
The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for Noble Corporation PLC. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of D.

DCF založený na zisku oceňuje Comfort Systems USA (FIX) na 1 295,53 USD, tedy asi 20,6 % pod cenou 1 561,96 USD. FCF model naopak ukazuje 1 912,47 USD.
On August 26, 2026, we delve into the DCF analysis for Comfort Systems USA Inc FIX, a company that has experienced significant price fluctuations recently. Over the past year, the stock has surged by 126.5%, but it has also seen a decline of 10.2% in the last week alone. This volatility raises questions about its current valuation.
DCF Earnings-based intrinsic value is $1295.53, compared to the current price of $1561.96 (margin of safety: -20.6%) DCF Free Cash Flow (FCF)-based intrinsic value is $1912.47, suggesting a second opinion on valuation. GF Score™ of 85/100 indicates strong financial health, but the low predictability rank of 1/5 stars suggests caution in relying solely on DCF inputs. What Is FIX Worth? DCF Earnings-Based Model The DCF earnings-based model for Comfort Systems USA Inc utilizes a two-stage approach to estimate intrinsic value. The first stage reflects a high growth phase over the next ten years, while the second stage accounts for a more stable growth rate thereafter. Below are the key assumptions used in this model:
Parameter Value Current EPS (TTM, excl. non-recurring) $41.46 10-Year Growth Rate 33.2% 10-Year Treasury Rate 4.64% Discount Rate (ceil(Treasury) + 6%) 11% Terminal Growth Rate 4% In the growth phase (Years 1-10), the EPS is projected to grow at 33.2% annually, discounted at a rate of 11%. The terminal phase (Years 11-20) assumes a more modest growth rate of 4%, also discounted at 11%. The calculation summary is as follows:
Stage Description Value Growth Stage (Years 1-10) EPS growing at 33.2%, discounted at 11% $536.76 Terminal Stage (Years 11-20) 4% terminal growth, discounted at 11% $758.77 Intrinsic Value Growth + Terminal $1295.53 With the current price at $1561.96, the intrinsic value of $1295.53 indicates that the stock is modestly overvalued, with a margin of safety of -20.6%. It is important to note that GuruFocus uses EPS excluding non-recurring items, as research shows a stronger correlation between stock prices and earnings than with free cash flow. For further analysis, you can visit the FIX DCF Calculator.
What Does the Free Cash Flow DCF Say? The Free Cash Flow (FCF)-based intrinsic value for Comfort Systems USA Inc is calculated at $1912.47. This figure presents a contrasting perspective compared to the earnings-based DCF, suggesting that while the earnings model indicates overvaluation, the FCF model points towards a modest undervaluation with an 18.3% margin of safety. This discrepancy highlights the importance of considering multiple valuation methods.
How Does GF Value™ Compare to the DCF Models? The GF Value™ for Comfort Systems USA Inc stands at $793.13, providing yet another layer of valuation insight. This proprietary measure from GuruFocus is derived from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. The divergence among the three models—earnings DCF, FCF DCF, and GF Value™—suggests a complex valuation landscape for FIX. For more details, visit the GF Value™ page.
What Does FIX's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ evaluates a stock's overall quality based on various factors, including financial strength, profitability, growth potential, valuation, and momentum. For Comfort Systems USA Inc, the GF Score™ is 85/100, indicating robust financial health. However, the predictability rank of 1/5 stars suggests that the DCF model may be less reliable for this stock due to its lower predictability. Below is a summary of the GF Score™ metrics:
Metric Rating GF Score™ 85/100 Financial Strength 9/10 Profitability 10/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 1/10 Momentum 6/10 For more information, you can check the FIX stock page.
Key Assumptions and Limitations It is crucial to recognize that DCF models are highly sensitive to assumptions regarding growth rates and discount rates. Stocks with low predictability ratings, such as Comfort Systems USA Inc, yield less reliable DCF estimates. The terminal growth rate of 4% is a simplifying assumption that may not reflect future realities.
What This Means for Investors In synthesizing the three valuation models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—we find a notable tension. The earnings DCF suggests that FIX is modestly overvalued, while the FCF DCF indicates a modest undervaluation. The GF Value™ further complicates the picture, suggesting significant overvaluation. Additionally, the guru ownership signal shows that 15 gurus currently hold the stock, with 9 adding to their positions and 5 trimming their stakes, while insiders have sold $156.3M worth of shares over the past year. This mixed signal warrants caution for potential investors. For a deeper dive into the valuation, visit the FIX DCF Calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions What is FIX's intrinsic value based on DCF?
Answer: The earnings DCF indicates it is overvalued, while the FCF DCF suggests it is undervalued, and GF Value™ shows significant overvaluation.
How reliable is the DCF model for FIX?
Answer: The predictability rank of 1/5 indicates that the DCF model is less reliable for this stock.

Comfort Systems ve 2. čtvrtletí 2026 zvýšil tržby divize Electrical o 81,2 % na 969 mil. USD, zatímco divize Mechanical rostla o 40,2 % na 2,30 mld. USD. Růst táhla poptávka po technologiích a datových centrech.
Key Takeaways Comfort Systems' Electrical revenues surged 81.2% in Q2, outpacing Mechanical's 40.2% growth.Same-store activity drove $301.7M of Electrical's $434.3M increase, led by Texas technology demand.Mechanical held 70.3% of revenues and a $10.06B backlog, with stronger gross-margin improvement. Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (FIX - Free Report) is seeing exceptional demand across both of its operating segments, but Electrical has emerged as the faster-growing business. In the second quarter of 2026, Electrical revenues surged 81.2% year over year to $969 million compared with a 40.2% increase in Mechanical revenues to $2.30 billion. The performance lifted Electrical’s share of company revenues to 29.7% from 24.6% a year earlier, signaling a meaningful shift in FIX’s revenue mix.
Technology demand, particularly data-center activity, has been the primary growth catalyst. Of the $434.3 million year-over-year increase in Electrical revenues, $301.7 million came from same-store operations, with the Texas electrical business alone contributing $186.6 million of incremental revenues from higher technology-sector activity. The remaining $132.6 million came from the Hunt Electric, Feyen Zylstra and Meisner acquisitions. Thus, acquisitions amplified the growth rate, but the strength was not merely deal-driven; underlying Electrical activity also expanded sharply.
However, Mechanical is hardly losing momentum. It remains Comfort Systems’ largest business, accounting for 70.3% of second-quarter revenues, and nearly all of its $658 million revenue increase came from same-store activity. Technology projects at operations in Texas, Indiana and North Carolina were major contributors. Mechanical also showed stronger margin improvement: its gross margin climbed to 25.6% from 22.9%, while Electrical margin increased to 26.4% from 25.3%. The backlog also provides considerable runway. Mechanical backlog reached $10.06 billion, while Electrical backlog stood at $4 billion, with both increasing roughly 73% year over year.
Electrical could continue outpacing Mechanical in the near term, supported by data-center demand, acquisitions and strong bookings. Still, sustaining an 81% growth rate will become harder as acquisition benefits normalize and comparisons toughen. Mechanical’s larger scale, strong organic growth and margin gains suggest both segments will remain key contributors to Comfort Systems’ growth.
Comfort Systems, EMCOR & Quanta: Who Has the Electrical Edge?Comfort Systems stands out against EMCOR Group, Inc. (EME - Free Report) and Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR - Free Report) for the pace of its Electrical growth. Strong data-center demand, rising technology-sector activity and recent acquisitions have strengthened the Electrical business and helped it outpace Mechanical growth.
EMCOR is also benefiting from robust data-center activity, although its Mechanical Construction business grew faster than Electrical in the second quarter of 2026. Electrical Construction revenues increased 24% to $1.66 billion, supported largely by a 45% increase in network and communications revenues, while Mechanical Construction revenues rose more than 31% to $2.3 billion as data-center cooling demand accelerated. EMCOR’s record $17.14 billion RPOs provide additional visibility.
Quanta offers broader exposure to the infrastructure buildout through electric power, technology and large-load markets. Its backlog reached a record $53 billion during the second quarter of 2026, while the company continues expanding self-perform electrical, mechanical, civil and fabrication capabilities. Quanta is also scaling its technology platform with hyperscalers and has roughly 7.5 million square feet of fabrication capacity following recent acquisitions.
