The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Primoris Service Corporation (PRIM) Misled Investors About its Ability to Properly Forecast Costs and Expected Profitability of its Renewable Energy Projects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants recklessly disregarded that: (i) Primoris' cost estimation, cost-to-complete forecasting, and project oversight processes were deficient and failed to provide reliable estimates of the costs and expected profitability of significant fixed-price renewable energy projects; (ii) as a result, Primoris systematically underestimated the costs and risks of significant fixed-price renewable energy projects that were experiencing material cost overruns, execution problems, and schedule delays; and (iii) accordingly, defendants' statements regarding the Company's estimating processes, project execution, ability to manage project risk, financial performance, and financial guidance lacked a reasonable basis and omitted material adverse facts.

Plaintiff alleges that the truth was revealed through a series of disclosures between February 23, 2026 and June 22, 2026, culminating in Primoris' announcement that an internal review, supported by an independent third-party industry expert, had identified significant cost overruns, project delays, and execution challenges affecting six renewable energy projects. The Company sharply reduced its 2026 financial guidance and Renewables revenue outlook and announced the resignation of defendant Kinch as Chief Operating Officer. On this news, Primoris' stock price fell 21.6%, from $108.34 to $84.95.

AtriCure NASDAQ: ATRC reported double-digit revenue growth and a return to GAAP profitability in the second quarter of 2026, with management pointing to strong demand across its pain management, appendage management and open ablation franchises while noting continued pressure in minimally invasive ablation.

The medical device company generated worldwide revenue of $153.6 million, up 12.8% on a reported basis and 12.4% in constant currency from the second quarter of 2025, according to Chief Financial Officer Angela Wirick. U.S. revenue rose 13.6% to $125.6 million, while international revenue increased 9.6% on a reported basis to $28 million.

Get AtriCure alerts:

President and CEO Michael Carrel said the quarter reflected “solid” performance and highlighted improving profitability. AtriCure recorded adjusted EBITDA of $27.3 million, up 78% from $15.4 million a year earlier. Net income was $9 million, compared with a net loss of $6.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share were both $0.18, compared with a loss per share of $0.13 and an adjusted loss per share of $0.02 a year earlier.

Growth Led by Pain Management, Appendage Management and Open Ablation AtriCure’s U.S. business was supported by continued adoption of several newer devices, including CryoSphere MAX and cryoXT in pain management, AtriClip FLEX-Mini and PRO-Mini in appendage management, and the Encompass clamp in open ablation.

Pain management was the company’s fastest-growing franchise, with worldwide revenue up 27% in the quarter. U.S. pain management sales reached $27.1 million, up 27.8% year over year. Carrel said CryoSphere MAX remained a key driver, with the company continuing to add accounts while also seeing early traction in sternotomy procedures. During the question-and-answer portion of the call, Wirick said CryoSphere MAX represented about 75% of U.S. pain management revenue and that the company ended the quarter with “a little over 700 active accounts” in pain management.

Carrel also pointed to early momentum for CryoXT, which is designed for use in amputation procedures. He said the product was included in a presentation at the Society for Vascular Surgery annual meeting and that early adopters are reporting improvements in patient experience and recovery. Management said CryoXT is expected to contribute more meaningfully to revenue in the second half of the year, though from a small base.

Open ablation revenue increased 11% worldwide, led by the Encompass clamp. U.S. open ablation product sales were $40.9 million, up 12.1% year over year. Carrel said the company expects further adoption from a new Society of Thoracic Surgeons quality metric on concomitant AFib treatment, which he described as a potential long-term catalyst for surgical AFib ablation and left atrial appendage management.

Appendage management revenue grew 14% in the quarter. U.S. sales of appendage management products increased 14.4% to $51.6 million, reflecting adoption of AtriClip FLEX-Mini and PRO-Mini devices. Carrel said the mini devices now account for 45% of appendage management revenue in their respective open and minimally invasive categories.

Minimally Invasive Ablation Remains Under Pressure The company’s minimally invasive ablation business continued to decline, contributing $6 million in U.S. revenue for the quarter. Carrel said the market remains focused on treating patients with pulsed field ablation, or PFA, catheters. He added that AtriCure still believes hybrid AFib therapy has a role in patients with longstanding persistent AFib, but said broader stabilization is needed before the franchise can return to growth.

“We have seen referral patterns for hybrid procedures stabilize over the last several quarters in a small subset of accounts,” Carrel said. “However, we need to see this stabilization across a broader customer base before we can expect return to growth for this franchise.”

Clinical Trials Advance Toward Potential Label Expansion Management emphasized progress in two major clinical trials that AtriCure says could expand the market for its cardiac surgery products.

The BoxX-NoAF clinical study, which evaluates ablation and left atrial appendage management in cardiac surgery patients without a history of AFib, has surpassed 50% enrollment with more than 500 patients enrolled. AtriCure expects to complete enrollment of 960 patients by the end of 2026, ahead of its original plan, and anticipates data readouts in the first half of 2027.

Carrel said the company sees a large unmet need in preventing post-operative AFib, noting that U.S. healthcare spending for the condition exceeds $2 billion annually. In response to an analyst question, he said the trial’s first endpoint is post-operative AFib measured 30 days after final enrollment, with a potential data presentation at a major medical meeting in 2027. He said the product is under a PMA pathway and that approval could take roughly a year after submission to the FDA.

AtriCure is also continuing follow-up of more than 6,500 patients enrolled in the LeAAPS trial, which is studying the stroke reduction benefit of left atrial appendage management in cardiac surgery patients without AFib. Carrel said LeAAPS and BoxX-NoAF provide “multiple complementary paths for label expansion” and could be catalysts in the cardiac surgery market.

Guidance Raised for Adjusted EBITDA AtriCure updated its 2026 outlook, now expecting revenue of $602 million to $610 million, representing growth of approximately 12.5% to 14% over 2025. The company expects growth to be led by pain management, appendage management and open ablation, while pressure persists in minimally invasive ablation and certain international markets.

Wirick said AtriCure expects normal seasonal patterns in the second half, with third-quarter revenue down 1% to 2% sequentially from the second quarter, followed by a rebound in the fourth quarter.

The company raised its adjusted EBITDA outlook to approximately $85 million to $89 million for 2026, implying an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 14% at the midpoint of guidance. AtriCure also reiterated its expectation for full-year net income and projected full-year earnings per share of approximately $0.05 to $0.13, with adjusted earnings per share of approximately $0.24 to $0.32.

AtriCure ended the quarter with $167.8 million in cash and investments and generated approximately $22 million in cash during the quarter. Wirick said the company expects positive cash generation through the remainder of the year.

Management Addresses Competition and International Trends During the call, analysts asked about new competitors in the appendage management market. Carrel said new entrants validate the market opportunity, but argued AtriCure has advantages in product innovation, clinical evidence and physician education. He said competitive trialing in the back half of the year is incorporated into the company’s guidance.

Internationally, Wirick said Asia-Pacific weakness discussed in the prior quarter appeared transitory, while Europe saw softness in key markets including the U.K. and Germany. She said the company’s outlook incorporates continued pressure in certain markets.

Carrel concluded that AtriCure’s double-digit revenue growth, margin improvement and profitability leave the company “well ahead” of its long-range plan, while ongoing trials could shape the company’s next decade.

Key HighlightsPostpaid segment drives revenue expansion and earnings momentumIndustry-leading network quality and customer satisfaction metrics persistElevated cash flow outlook demonstrates operational resilienceGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks Postpaid service revenue surged 13% year-over-year in Q2 2026.

Company elevated its operating and free cash flow projections for the year.

Core Adjusted EBITDA expanded 12% amid sustained earnings strength.

Wireless carrier captured premier network accolades from multiple testing firms.

Share price declined 6.13% following the quarterly earnings announcement.

T-Mobile US delivered its second-quarter 2026 financial performance featuring enhanced service revenue figures, expanded profitability margins, and strengthened cash generation capabilities. The telecommunications provider simultaneously increased specific cash flow targets while maintaining its subscriber growth projections. Nevertheless, TMUS stock experienced a 6.13% decline to $179.24 despite the positive quarterly metrics.

Postpaid segment drives revenue expansion and earnings momentum T-Mobile advanced its postpaid operations through consistent account additions and enhanced customer monetization. The wireless provider secured 277,000 net postpaid account additions throughout the second quarter. This figure represented a decrease from the 318,000 net additions reported in the comparable period last year.

Average revenue per postpaid account climbed to $152.91 during the three-month period. This metric showed a 2% year-over-year increase. Total postpaid accounts concluded the quarter at 34.7 million following standard base reconciliations.

Service revenue demonstrated robust growth trends throughout the organization. Aggregate service revenue rose 9% compared to the prior year, reaching $19.0 billion. Meanwhile, postpaid service revenue jumped 13% to $15.9 billion, driven by ongoing subscriber base expansion and improved account economics.

Net income totaled $3.2 billion for the quarter even with merger-related charges associated with the UScellular acquisition. Diluted earnings per share grew 5% to $2.99. Core Adjusted EBITDA posted a 12% year-over-year gain, reaching $9.5 billion.

Operating cash flow similarly strengthened during the quarter. Net cash generated from operating activities rose 7% to $7.5 billion. Concurrently, Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased 4% to $4.8 billion despite elevated capital expenditure levels.

Capital investments grew 13% to $2.7 billion as infrastructure enhancement efforts progressed. The telecommunications company distributed $3.3 billion to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks. Additionally, it executed another $392 million in stock repurchases during the third quarter through mid-July.

Industry-leading network quality and customer satisfaction metrics persist T-Mobile advanced its market positioning through superior network capabilities and customer satisfaction levels. The carrier achieved a record wireless Net Promoter Score of 46 during the second quarter. This achievement marked its highest rating among the top three wireless providers in the United States.

Third-party testing authorities validated T-Mobile’s network excellence across numerous metrics. Ookla designated the company as the Best Mobile Network for three consecutive reporting cycles. Furthermore, Opensignal recognized T-Mobile throughout quality, network performance, and 5G experience categories.

P3 additionally crowned T-Mobile as its Test Champion for the second quarter evaluation period. The carrier swept all 13 available award categories, including the AI Services Champion designation. These accolades reinforced management’s strategy of expanding wireless and broadband service offerings.

T-Mobile emphasized its ongoing commitment to network infrastructure modernization and technological advancement. Company leadership indicated these investments underpin sustainable growth across consumer, broadband, and developing enterprise segments. Management also referenced strengthening customer relationships through elevated service delivery standards.

The organization held steady its postpaid net account guidance range of 950,000 to 1.05 million for 2026. It similarly maintained Core Adjusted EBITDA expectations between $37.1 billion and $37.5 billion. These forecasts aligned with previously communicated targets.

Elevated cash flow outlook demonstrates operational resilience T-Mobile upgraded multiple financial guidance metrics following its second-quarter results. The carrier now anticipates operating cash flow within a range of $28.4 billion to $28.8 billion. This updated range reflects a $200 million increase from prior guidance.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow expectations similarly received a $200 million upward revision. The refreshed guidance now spans $18.4 billion to $18.8 billion. Anticipated capital expenditures remain unchanged at approximately $10.0 billion for the complete fiscal year.

The telecommunications provider preserved its effective tax rate forecast between 25% and 26%. It also sustained its profitability expectations notwithstanding integration expenses from the UScellular transaction. While these costs influenced reported earnings, they did not alter comprehensive operating projections.

T-Mobile’s quarterly financial performance showcased persistent growth in premium customer accounts and service revenue streams. Robust operating cash production additionally enabled increased capital returns to shareholders and revised financial guidance. Despite these positive developments, investors responded negatively, driving TMUS stock lower following the earnings disclosure.

Ripple has announced a strategic investment in Notabene, a regulated on-chain transaction network, as part of efforts to promote the adoption of RLUSD in institutional stablecoin payments.

Partnership aims for compliance and scaleThrough this collaboration, Ripple will integrate RLUSD, its dollar-backed stablecoin, into Notabene Flow, Notabene’s dedicated B2B stablecoin payments platform. Notabene’s system focuses on providing regulated transaction infrastructure and compliance tools to financial institutions.

By integrating RLUSD within Notabene Flow, both companies intend to streamline stablecoin-based payments for enterprises while addressing regulatory requirements and risk controls.

Ripple, best known for its global payments and blockchain solutions, developed RLUSD to offer financial institutions a compliant and efficient stablecoin option for business transactions.

Mini dictionary: Notabene, a Swiss-based company, connects regulated financial institutions and digital asset platforms worldwide with a focus on on-chain transaction compliance and verification.

Infrastructure and regulatory obligationsNotabene operates a network that enables regulated digital asset transactions, connecting over 2,300 institutions across more than 100 jurisdictions. The platform reportedly supports $2 trillion in annualized transaction volume and offers comprehensive compliance, identity verification, and transaction authorization tools required by financial institutions.

As more financial entities explore stablecoins for payments, they face increasing challenges related to regulatory standards, compliance, and verification of transaction parties. Notabene’s solution seeks to address these hurdles before any fund transfers take place.

CompanyCore ServiceInstitutions ConnectedJurisdictionsAnnual Transaction VolumeNotabeneOn-chain transaction compliance2,300+100+$2 trillionRippleEnterprise payments, stablecoinsN/A (focus on global enterprise)GlobalN/AVoices from Ripple and NotabeneJack McDonald, Senior Vice President of Stablecoin at Ripple, emphasized the need for robust compliance and identity procedures, stating that technological efficiency alone is not enough for stablecoins to achieve widespread institutional adoption. He pointed to the importance of transaction authorization and ongoing compliance for enabling responsible and scalable use.

Jack McDonald explained that settlement rails must be supported by strong compliance, identity, and transaction authorization for institutional stablecoins to move fully into the mainstream.

Pelle Braendgaard, CEO of Notabene, observed that most institutions have progressed past the evaluation stage and are now focused on integrating stablecoins into their operations while fulfilling complex regulatory and compliance requirements.

Pelle Braendgaard noted that financial institutions are now focused on implementing stablecoins within their existing workflows and maintaining regulatory compliance, rather than simply assessing their utility.

Outlook and regulatory momentumThis investment by Ripple comes as regulated stablecoin infrastructure sees significant expansion, driven by new frameworks including the GENIUS Act in the United States and Europe’s MiCA rules. Both Ripple and Notabene indicated plans to continue building out Notabene Flow’s availability for financial institutions worldwide, aiming to facilitate compliant, cross-border stablecoin payments at larger scale.

Shiba Inu’s layer 2 blockchain, Shibarium, recorded a sharp rise in daily transactions despite subdued activity across the rest of the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Shibarium Scan reported that daily transaction counts increased from 661 on July 21 to 1,151 on July 22, marking a 74% surge within just 24 hours.

Shibarium sees growth amid quiet marketThe jump in Shibarium’s transaction volume comes as the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem remained mostly inactive. This growth stands out, especially as the price of SHIB has struggled to find positive momentum in recent trading sessions.

At the same time, the general cryptocurrency market continued its consolidation phase, with many coins, including SHIB, declining. At the latest reading, SHIB fell by 1.54% over the previous 24 hours, trading at $0.000004166. SHIB’s weekly rise narrowed to just 0.51%, and the token has dropped 23% so far in July, closing each week of the month with losses.

Price struggles and low market activitySHIB’s recent price performance highlights a pattern of fading weekly gains. After failing to move beyond the $0.0000043 resistance, Shiba Inu appears poised for a period of sideways trading, with no immediate signal of a sharp move either up or down.

Santiment, a crypto analytics platform, noted in a recent report that trading volumes for large-cap cryptocurrencies have continued to decline since July 2024, reaching their lowest average levels in nearly two years.

Mini dictionary: Santiment is a blockchain analytics platform that provides insights using on-chain, social media, and development data to help crypto traders and investors evaluate market trends and behaviors.

The platform attributed this slowdown not only to waning trader enthusiasm, but also to persistent macroeconomic challenges, lower risk appetite, and diminishing confidence in altcoin rallies following recent sell-offs.

Trading volumes for large-cap cryptocurrencies have dropped to their lowest two-year average, with reduced spot demand and traders showing less willingness to rotate into altcoins, according to Santiment.

Impact of low trading volume on future price actionSantiment’s analysis suggested that a prolonged decrease in trading volume can influence market behavior in two ways. First, insufficient demand can make upward price rallies susceptible to rapid reversals. Second, thinner liquidity might pave the way for smoother upside moves should sellers exit and spot buying return.

Because risk sentiment remains weak and few traders are chasing altcoins, there is currently little social or trading energy to drive a shift in direction. Analysts observed that, under these market conditions, even modest increases in buying activity could help prices recover relatively quickly as liquidity remains thin.

DateShibarium Daily TransactionsSHIB PriceJuly 21661$0.000004166July 221,151$0.000004166For now, Shiba Inu’s key layer 2 network remains active even as SHIB price action shows little sign of immediate recovery. The market’s attention is fixed on whether renewed interest in the network will translate into a stronger trend for the flagship token.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 04/27 - 05/01MaxLinear NASDAQ: MXL reported a sharp increase in second-quarter 2026 revenue and returned to GAAP profitability, as executives said demand for the company’s data center optical products is driving a new growth phase.

On the company’s earnings call, Chief Executive Officer Kishore Seendripu said MaxLinear’s overall revenue grew 55% year over year, reflecting “strong execution” and accelerating adoption of its newest data center products. He said infrastructure has become MaxLinear’s largest revenue category, with revenue in that segment rising 145% year over year, driven by production ramps in optical platforms for data centers.

Get MaxLinear alerts:

MaxLinear’s Explosive 200% Rally Looks Impressive—But Can It Last?“Our Q2 financial results highlight the exciting inflection in our business trajectory and the beginning of a multiyear growth phase for MaxLinear,” Seendripu said.

Revenue rises 55%, infrastructure becomes largest category Chief Financial Officer and Chief Corporate Strategy Officer Steve Litchfield said total revenue for the second quarter was $168.8 million, up 23% from $137.2 million in the prior quarter and up 55% from $108.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Silicon Motion: The Market's Best Merger Arbitrage OpportunityBy end market, Litchfield said second-quarter revenue was approximately:

Infrastructure: $85 million Broadband: $45 million Connectivity: $24 million Industrial and multi-market: $15 million GAAP gross margin was 57.8%, while non-GAAP gross margin was 59.5%. Litchfield said the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was primarily due to $2.5 million of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization.

GAAP operating expenses were $101.8 million, compared with non-GAAP operating expenses of $62.8 million. The difference was primarily tied to stock-based compensation and performance-based equity accruals totaling $36.5 million, along with $2.2 million in acquisition-related and other costs.

MaxLinear reported GAAP earnings per share of $0.02 for the quarter, which Litchfield said marked a return to GAAP profitability. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.35. Operating cash flow was approximately $4.8 million, and the company ended the quarter with about $93.7 million in cash equivalents and restricted cash.

Optical data center outlook raised again Seendripu said MaxLinear is raising its expectations for 2026 optical data center revenue to a range of $210 million to $230 million, citing customer orders and stronger visibility into program ramps. He said run rates are expected to expand into 2027.

The company’s Keystone product, a 100 gigabit-per-lane, five-nanometer CMOS PAM4 DSP and SerDes technology, is ramping into high-volume production at major hyperscale customers in the U.S. and Asia for 400G and 800G deployments, Seendripu said. He said Keystone delivers “almost 40% lower consumption in power than competition” and is serving as the foundation for future customer engagements involving 1.6 terabit and 3.2 terabit architectures.

During the question-and-answer session, Seendripu said the company began the year with revenue more concentrated in 400G, but the current growth is being driven by 800G PAM4 products. He said 800G is expected to become a substantially larger portion of run-rate revenue going forward.

Asked whether the increase in the 2026 optical outlook was tied entirely to Keystone, Seendripu told Cody Acree of The Benchmark Company that it was “all driven by Keystone product family” and did not include 2026 revenue from Washington or Annapurna.

Next-generation products expected to contribute in 2027 Seendripu highlighted several products intended to extend MaxLinear’s data center portfolio. Rushmore, the company’s 1.6 terabit optical PAM4 DSP at 200 gigabit-per-lane speeds, is expected to become an important optical connectivity growth driver beginning in 2027, he said.

Washington, a standalone 200 gigabit-per-lane TIA platform, can be paired with Rushmore or deployed in LPO and NPO implementations that do not require a DSP. Annapurna, a 200 gigabit-per-lane Ethernet retimer platform, is aimed at 1.6 terabit active electrical cable and onboard retimer requirements for AI systems.

Seendripu said Rushmore, Washington and Annapurna are sampling and in customer qualification and design processes. He said the company expects revenue to begin in 2027, with one or two opportunities potentially starting in the second half of that year and layering into 2028 and 2029.

Beyond optical, Seendripu said MaxLinear’s first XGS-PON hyperscaler design win for dedicated data center control plane architectures has completed qualification for a 2027 ramp. He also said the company has secured USB bridge controller design wins at two major hyperscalers for AI rack management.

Broadband and connectivity grow; industrial recovery continues Seendripu said broadband and connectivity revenue both increased in the second quarter, supported by large-scale deployments of single-chip fiber PON and Wi-Fi 7 gateway platforms at major Tier 1 service providers in North America and Europe. He said MaxLinear is also in the early stages of Ultra DOCSIS 3.1 and 4.0 deployments, which are expected to provide additional stability as ramps progress through 2027 and 2028.

In response to a question from Wells Fargo analyst Joe Quattrocchi, Litchfield said there had not been significant changes in broadband demand trends. He said MaxLinear has been gaining share in PON programs and that telco capital spending remains “good.”

On the industrial and multi-market business, Litchfield told Karl Ackerman of BNP Paribas that the segment has been recovering after a weak prior year. He said the company is seeing year-over-year improvement and expects pricing, including in China, as well as new products to contribute to growth.

Third-quarter guidance points to further growth For the third quarter of 2026, MaxLinear expects revenue of $210 million to $220 million. Litchfield said the company expects growth across all four business segments, with particular strength in infrastructure from data center optical interconnects.

The company guided for GAAP gross margin of approximately 57% to 60% and non-GAAP gross margin of 58.5% to 61.5%. GAAP operating expenses are expected to be $98 million to $104 million, while non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be $66 million to $71 million.

Litchfield said infrastructure products historically have carried gross margins above the corporate average, helping support the outlook. He also noted cost increases in wafers, packaging and testing, saying the company is being cautious but sees continued margin improvement potential.

Asked about longer-term profitability, Litchfield said MaxLinear’s target has not changed and that the company’s long-term goal is to reach operating margins of 30% to 35%. He said the business is “headed in that direction,” though he declined to guide beyond the current quarter.

Litchfield said visibility is strong across most of MaxLinear’s businesses, extending to about six months, supported by backlog and demand. The company has also made wafer prepayments to secure supply for rising data center product demand, which executives said is backed by customer orders extending into the second half of 2026 and 2027.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eastern Bankshares, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results.

New York, NY, United States, July 23rd, 2026, Chainwire

Q2 Ecosystem Report highlights institutional partnerships, ecosystem growth, and infrastructure milestones ahead of Bitcoin Staking’s Q3 launch.

Stacks (STX) today published its Q2 2026 Ecosystem Report, outlining progress toward launching Bitcoin Staking and expanding the infrastructure needed to make Bitcoin a productive capital asset. Cumulative Stacks users surpassed 1.6 million during the quarter, an 8.0% increase quarter over quarter, while new wallet creation rose nearly 53%, from 72,000 in Q1 to 110,000 in Q2.

The report highlights a quarter of steady execution. Stacks built and deployed PoX-5, the on-chain mechanism powering Bitcoin Staking, first to a private testnet for institutional partners and later to public testnet, where it is now undergoing audit ahead of mainnet launch. The quarter also marked two major institutional partnerships. Fireblocks, which facilitates the transfer and storage of more than $10 trillion in digital assets globally, joined as the institutional custody infrastructure partner, while UTXO Management – the Bitcoin-native asset management subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc. (NASDAQ: NAKA) – became the inaugural Bitcoin Staking launch partner. Alongside this, the Bitcoin-native finance ecosystem continued to grow, and the Endowment expanded its grant and Foundry programs to support new builders.

“Bitcoin has spent years establishing itself as an asset. The next chapter is making that asset productive, and Stacks made strong progress on that front in Q2 2026,” said Alex Miller, CEO of Stacks Labs. “Our thesis is clear: Stacks is the place where Bitcoin becomes productive capital. The quarter ahead is an important one for the broader Stacks ecosystem, and we are determined to capture a larger share of the Bitcoin sitting idle today.” 

Among the report’s highlights:

Bitcoin Staking advanced toward launch, with PoX-5 built, deployed to private and public testnet, and now in audit ahead of mainnet in Q3. Fireblocks and UTXO Management joined as institutional partners, expanding the custody and asset-management infrastructure required for institutional participation. Zest Protocol had its biggest quarter to date: the ZEST token launched via Binance Alpha on May 19, reaching a $200 million fully diluted valuation (FDV) within hours while ranking No. 1 trending on CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap. Zest remains the top DeFi protocol on Stacks, with $70M in TVL and over 800 sBTC deposited. Stacking DAO reached an all-time high of 110M STX in TVL and announced stBTC, the first Bitcoin liquid staking token on Stacks, now in audit and targeting an August launch. BitFlow surpassed $5 billion in cumulative transaction volume and $575M in swap volume, grew to 29,677 cumulative users, and delivered an estimated average 17.9% Bitcoin APY across its two primary sBTC pools over the past 30 days. Hermetica saw continued allocator demand for BTC yield, with hBTC reaching 75 BTC in TVL and its latest capped allocation filling within 24 hours, while USDh averaged 8% APY over the quarter as Hermetica advanced its STRC integration. Network and protocol development continued, with three stable mainnet node releases and ongoing security hardening through the Immunefi bug bounty program. The Stacks Endowment expanded strategic ecosystem investment through grants and the Foundry program, completing its first Validate cohort (60 participating teams, 25 advancing toward grant applications) and preparing the next program, Onboard. The report also outlines Stacks’ priorities for Q3, including the launch of Bitcoin Staking, expansion of the liquid staking ecosystem through stBTC, onboarding additional institutional participants, and continued investment in founders building Bitcoin-native financial applications.

Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (ELS) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $RNG #AI--RingCentral today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The US Dollar to Canadian Dollar exchange rate is trading around 1.4082, little changed on the day after easing from levels above 1.42 earlier in July. The pair reached a monthly low near 1.4004, having previously climbed to a 2026 high around 1.4248 in June.

Scotiabank believes the Canadian Dollar is largely tracking broader movements in the US currency, with USD/CAD currently trading close to the bank’s estimated fair value of 1.4013.

The bank noted that comments from US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer offered some reassurance that the latest tariff measures would not permanently damage US-Canada commercial relations.

Greer also indicated that negotiations could make progress towards a broader agreement before the end of the year, helping limit renewed pressure on the Canadian Dollar.

Domestic attention is focused on Canadian retail sales, which are expected to have risen 1.0% in May, matching the preliminary estimate published alongside April’s figures.

From a technical perspective, Scotiabank describes the outlook as neutral. USD/CAD is pivoting around its 40-day moving average at 1.4074, with neither side showing enough momentum to force a decisive break.

The bank identifies initial support at 1.4060 and resistance at 1.4125. A sustained move below support would strengthen the case for further Canadian Dollar gains, while a break above resistance would suggest the recent USD rebound has further to run.

Harley Pivots Hard: Can New Bikes Fix an Old Brand?Harley-Davidson NYSE: HOG raised portions of its 2026 outlook after reporting second-quarter results that management said showed early progress under its “Back to the Bricks” strategic plan, including growth in North American retail motorcycle sales and improved dealer inventory health.

Chief Executive Officer Artie Starrs said 2026 remains a transition year for the company as it works to reset the business, rebuild dealer confidence and improve execution. “We are still early in the work, but the business is moving in the right direction,” Starrs said on the company’s earnings call.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 04/20 - 04/24Chief Financial and Commercial Officer Jonathan Root said Harley-Davidson Motor Company, or HDMC, generated second-quarter revenue of $1.1 billion, up 6% from the prior year. Motorcycle revenue was $848 million, while parts and accessories revenue was $177 million, down from $187 million a year earlier. Apparel and licensing revenue was $62 million, compared with $61 million in the prior-year period.

HDMC operating income was $72 million, compared with $61 million a year earlier, and operating margin improved to 6.6% from 5.9%. Root said the quarter included $3 million of restructuring expense tied to the company’s new strategy. Excluding that restructuring expense, HDMC operating income would have been $75 million, with an operating margin of 6.8%.

Harley-Davidson Rallies 38%, But Analysts See Downside AheadAt the consolidated Harley-Davidson Inc. level, second-quarter revenue declined 6%, driven primarily by a 55% revenue decline at Harley-Davidson Financial Services as the segment transitioned to a capital-light model. Consolidated operating income was $76 million, down from $112 million in the year-ago quarter. Earnings per share were $0.75, compared with $0.88 in the second quarter of 2025.

North American Retail Growth Continues Root said North American retail sales of new motorcycles rose 3% in the quarter, with approximately 30,000 motorcycles sold. Starrs noted that marked the third consecutive year-over-year quarter of retail growth in North America.

Root said the region benefited from continued strength in redesigned trike models, as well as positive results across the portfolio, particularly sport and adventure touring families. Harley-Davidson reached 32% share of the U.S. 601cc-plus market, according to Root.

Globally, retail sales of new motorcycles rose 1% year over year to approximately 42,500 units. Outside North America, retail sales declined 5% to about 13,000 units. EMEA remained the weakest region, with retail sales down 9% in the second quarter. Root said performance in Europe reflected a subdued economic environment, though touring, sport and trike categories posted positive results. Asia Pacific retail sales were up slightly, while Latin America rose 4%, marking its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Starrs said Europe remains a challenging market and that Harley-Davidson is making portfolio adjustments. He cited the planned return of the Sportster 883 in 2027 as an example, saying European dealers are “particularly excited” about the model.

Dealer Inventory Health Improves Management emphasized dealer inventory as a central priority. Root said global dealer inventory at the end of the second quarter was down 17% from a year earlier and down 7% from the end of the first quarter. North American dealer inventory was down 15%, while inventory outside North America was down 24%.

Starrs said more than 85% of dealer inventory was model year 2026 product at quarter end, describing it as the healthiest global dealer inventory position in years. Root said North America also had 85% current model year motorcycles in dealer inventory, compared with less than 75% in the prior-year period.

Starrs said the company expects domestic dealer profitability to double in 2026. In response to an analyst question, he said used Harley-Davidson residual values are “extremely strong” and that improving MSRP realization on new motorcycles is also supporting dealer profitability.

“Today, the vast majority believe it’s either just right or they’re asking for more bikes,” Starrs said of dealer inventory levels, contrasting that with the fourth quarter, when he said nearly every dealer was concerned about having too much inventory.

New Models and Parts Focus Support Strategy Starrs highlighted recent launches of the Super Glide and Deadwood models, describing them as “blank canvas motorcycles” aligned with the Back to the Bricks strategy. He said Super Glide sell-through has been strong, dealer enthusiasm has been high and MSRP realization is among the strongest the company has seen “in some time.” Deadwood motorcycles were reaching U.S. dealerships at the time of the call, and Starrs said early reactions from motorcycle media and riders on social media had been “overwhelmingly positive.”

The company is also working to rebuild its parts and accessories business. Starrs said Harley-Davidson has appointed a general manager for the business, identified near-term accessory categories and is preparing for a model year 2027 parts and accessories launch alongside its motorcycle launch. He said parts and accessories are tracking ahead of the company’s beginning-of-year plans.

Guidance Raised for HDMC and HDFS Harley-Davidson raised its 2026 guidance for HDMC retail and wholesale units to a range of 133,500 to 138,500, up from the prior range of 130,000 to 135,000. Root said the company expects retail and wholesale units to maintain a largely one-to-one relationship for the rest of the year because global dealer inventory levels are healthy.

The company now expects HDMC operating income of $10 million to $50 million, compared with prior guidance ranging from positive $10 million to a loss of $40 million. HDFS operating income guidance was raised to $55 million to $70 million, from $45 million to $60 million. LiveWire guidance was unchanged, with an expected operating loss of $70 million to $80 million.

Starrs also reiterated that Harley-Davidson believes it is on track for $150 million of fixed cost savings in 2027 and the HDMC EBITDA target of more than $350 million referenced on the prior call.

Tariffs and HDFS Transition Remain Key Factors Root said Harley-Davidson continues to expect the cost of new or increased tariffs to be in the range of $75 million to $90 million for 2026, unchanged from the prior outlook. In the second quarter, the company incurred $22 million in tariff expense before recoveries and benefited from tariff recoveries primarily related to IEEPA. Root said Harley-Davidson is not planning for additional meaningful tariff recoveries for the balance of 2026.

Starrs said tariff uncertainty remains an ongoing factor and noted the company’s recent announcement to move Rev Max production for North American motorcycles back to the United States.

At HDFS, second-quarter revenue fell to $117 million due to lower interest income following the sale of loan assets as part of a transaction completed last year. HDFS operating income was $22 million, with an operating margin of 18.5%. Root said annualized retail credit losses on managed loans were 3.0%, compared with 3.3% in the year-ago period, while total retail loan originations rose 10% to $940 million.

Harley-Davidson ended the quarter with $1.9 billion in cash equivalents, up from $1.6 billion a year earlier. Root said the company repurchased 1.3 million shares for $30 million during the second quarter and 7.9 million shares for $158 million during the first half of 2026, adding that returning capital to shareholders remains a top priority.

Does Delta's Descent To Its 50-Day Line Offer A Buy Opportunity? SkyWest NASDAQ: SKYW reported second-quarter 2026 net income of $101 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, as stronger flying demand helped offset higher fuel costs in its prorate business, executives said on the company’s earnings call.

President and Chief Executive Officer Chip Childs said the quarter reflected increased block hours and “very strong demand both in our contract and pro-rate flying despite a higher fuel cost.” He said demand allowed the company to offset about 60% of the fuel impact in the fare portion of its prorate business.

Get SkyWest alerts:

During the quarter, SkyWest operated nearly 228,000 flights and delivered a 99.9% adjusted completion rate, Childs said. Executives also emphasized the company’s fleet growth plans, including a new agreement with American Airlines for 11 Embraer E175 aircraft, and a $250 million increase to SkyWest’s existing stock repurchase authorization.

Revenue rises as block hours increase Chief Financial Officer Robert Simmons said SkyWest generated second-quarter GAAP pre-tax income of $139 million, up 29% from the first quarter. Total revenue was $1.1 billion, up 9% from the first quarter of 2026 and up 7% from the second quarter of 2025.

Second-quarter revenue included $864 million of contract revenue, $201 million of prorate and charter revenue, and $38 million of leasing and other revenue. Simmons said the results included $27 million of previously deferred revenue recognized during the quarter. SkyWest ended the quarter with $214 million of cumulative deferred revenue to be recognized in future periods.

Fuel costs were a major headwind for the prorate business. Simmons said prorate fuel expense was $61 million in the second quarter, compared with $28 million in the year-earlier period. The $33 million increase reflected both higher fuel prices and increased prorate production. SkyWest’s prorate fuel price was $4.45 per gallon in the second quarter, up from $2.88 in the second quarter of 2025 and $3.40 in the first quarter of 2026.

For the full year, Simmons said SkyWest expects block hour production to rise approximately 5% from 2025. The company anticipates GAAP earnings per share “in the $11 area” for 2026, subject to continued prorate fuel volatility. That outlook assumes an average jet fuel price of $3.65 per gallon for the second half of 2026 and 28 million gallons needed for the prorate business during that period.

American deal adds to E175 growth plan SkyWest announced an agreement with American Airlines for 11 new E175s, with deliveries scheduled in 2026 and 2027. Wade Steel, president and chief operating officer of SkyWest Airlines, said the aircraft are expected to replace 11 CRJ700s currently flown under contract with American.

Steel said SkyWest expects to place those CRJ700s with one of its major partners through prorate agreements, capacity purchase agreements or traditional leases. He added that some could potentially be converted to CRJ550s for partners.

SkyWest is scheduled to purchase the 11 E175s from Embraer. Four of the American aircraft are expected near the end of the fourth quarter of 2026, while the remaining seven are heavily weighted toward the first half of 2027, Steel said during the question-and-answer session.

The company currently has 67 future E175s on firm order with Embraer, including 16 for Delta, 11 for American and seven for United. Steel said 34 of those aircraft are allocated to major partners, while 33 are not yet assigned. He said the order locks in delivery slots from 2027 through 2032, but includes flexibility to defer or terminate aircraft if SkyWest does not arrange for a partner to take them.

With the American agreement, SkyWest’s E175 fleet is scheduled to reach 300 aircraft by the end of 2027, continuing its position as the largest E175 operator in the world, Steel said.

CRJ conversions and prorate flying remain priorities Executives highlighted ongoing efforts to transition toward an all dual-class fleet. Steel said SkyWest is preparing to deploy the CRJ450 for United later this year and expects to convert four to six aircraft per month beginning this fall. The company expects to have 40 CRJ450s under contract with United and sees the opportunity potentially reaching 100 aircraft.

SkyWest also continues to convert CRJ700s into CRJ550s. Steel said 36 CRJ550s were in service as of June 30, with the remaining 14 under a 50-aircraft United agreement expected to enter service this year.

In prorate flying, Steel said demand remains “extremely strong,” supported by community engagement. SkyWest added 10 aircraft to prorate agreements during the quarter and is continuing to evaluate opportunities to restore service to underserved communities. The company is also operating eight aircraft under a reinitiated prorate agreement with American, with up to nine expected by year-end.

Childs said the company continues to see strong demand even as seasonal trends point to some fall moderation. He also said the shift toward an all dual-class fleet should support the company’s long-term prorate strategy.

Balance sheet, buybacks and capital spending SkyWest ended the quarter with $601 million in cash, down slightly from $627 million in the prior quarter. Simmons said the ending cash balance reflected $122 million of debt repayments, $24 million of new debt financing for fleet deliveries, $139 million in capital expenditures, and $75 million of share repurchases.

The company repurchased 833,000 shares during the second quarter and had $63 million remaining under its existing authorization as of June 30. Simmons said the board approved an additional $250 million for share repurchases.

Simmons said SkyWest generated more than $460 million of EBITDA in the first half of 2026, despite the fuel cost headwind. Since the end of 2025, the company reduced total debt by approximately $100 million, invested more than $240 million in fleet-related capital expenditures and repurchased $150 million of shares.

For 2026, SkyWest expects approximately $700 million of capital expenditures. Simmons said about half of that amount relates to new E175 deliveries. The company expects to finance 11 new E175s this year, but still expects debt to trend lower over the next several years.

Executives said the company plans to continue allocating free cash flow across fleet investment, debt reduction and opportunistic share repurchases. Simmons said SkyWest expects to have more than 100 unencumbered E175s by the end of 2029.

Analysts focus on fuel, fleet placement and 2027 growth During the question-and-answer portion of the call, analysts asked about the impact of fuel volatility on the prorate business. Childs said the company is in a “more stable position” than earlier in the year and continues to have constructive conversations with partners.

Analysts also pressed for details on the placement of aircraft returning from American and from third-party leases. Steel said SkyWest is in discussions with major partners about placing the aircraft in contract, prorate or leasing arrangements. He described contract economics as consistent with existing agreements, while leasing can have higher margin attributes and prorate margins remain more variable.

Asked about 2027 block hour growth, Steel said the company is still finalizing its plans and expects to provide more detail next quarter.

Ondo Finance said its broker-dealer subsidiary, Oasis Pro Markets, secured regulatory authorization to offer tokenized equities and funds to U.S. investors under SEC and FINRA oversight, according to a post from the company's official X account on Thursday.

Ondo described Oasis Pro Markets as an SEC-registered broker-dealer, and said the approval lets it offer compliant U.S. access to tokenized publicly traded equities, including in IPOs, fund interests such as ETFs, and mutual and index funds. The company said access would run through OTC retailing, underwritten primary offerings, private placements and other activities.

The clearance extends Ondo's tokenization business, which had previously focused U.S. offerings on Treasuries products while selling tokenized stocks outside the country. The company said Oasis Pro Markets can support omnibus account structures through existing broker-dealer and advisory channels, which it said would let institutional investors, registered investment advisors, and retirement accounts access tokenized securities through their current brokers.

Ondo said its Ondo Stocks unit had recorded over $20 billion in cumulative volume and more than $1 billion in tokenized stocks total value locked, and characterized it as the largest tokenized securities platform, exceeding all other platforms combined. The company did not publish an independent basis for that ranking in the post, and the figures are its own.

The ONDO token traded at about $0.40, down 3.73% over 24 hours, with a circulating market capitalization near $1.95 billion. Bitcoin was down 1.59% over the same window at about $64,911.

Ondo did not detail a launch date for the U.S. offerings, saying only that the products would be available to American investors and institutions following the approvals.

Oasis Pro Markets, a subsidiary of Ondo Finance, has obtained formal approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to distribute tokenized equities and investment funds to US retail and institutional investors.

Details of Regulatory ApprovalWith this authorization, Oasis Pro Markets becomes the first large-scale US broker-dealer able to bridge traditional financial assets with blockchain-based tokenization for American investors. This approval allows the company to offer tokenized versions of publicly traded equities, including initial public offerings (IPOs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, and index funds.

The firm can now use several distribution methods, such as over-the-counter (OTC) retailing, underwritten primary offerings, private placements, and omnibus account structures. These mechanisms will allow both individuals and institutions to access tokenized securities alongside conventional custody solutions already familiar to traditional investment advisors and brokers.

Mini dictionary: Oasis Pro Markets is a regulated broker-dealer, acting as a bridge between blockchain-based tokenized assets and traditional US investment channels, allowing direct distribution of tokenized financial instruments under SEC and FINRA compliance.

Ondo Finance’s Track Record and Market ExpansionOndo Finance is known for its focus on bridging real-world assets with decentralized finance, originally launching its tokenized stock trading operations offshore under the Ondo Stocks brand. According to company reports, Ondo Stocks reached over $20 billion in cumulative trading volume and maintained more than $1 billion in tokenized stocks total value locked (TVL).

This expansion into the US regulated market with Oasis Pro Markets marks a significant shift from serving international investors to onboarding American buyers and financial institutions. Registered investment advisors, broker-dealers, institutions, and retirement plans now gain streamlined access to tokenized assets, potentially reducing manual administrative processes and operational costs through digital integration.

Benefits and Ongoing ChallengesTokenization, now backed by regulatory approval, will enable 24/7 trading, faster settlements, and allow fractional asset ownership among US investors. This was previously a feature mostly available through offshore platforms. The move is also expected to support developers and blockchain ecosystems as it positions tokenization technologies as core infrastructure for investment markets, echoing the trend of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization in US Treasuries and other funds.

Despite these advancements, the US still lacks a comprehensive regulatory framework specifically designed for tokenized securities. Market analysts caution that the liquidity of secondary markets for tokenized assets will depend largely on broker participation and integration with trading venues. There is no assurance of strong liquidity absent widespread exchange support.

Ondo Finance reports that its Offshore Ondo Stocks platform has surpassed $20 billion in cumulative volume and achieved over $1 billion in tokenized stocks TVL, marking a major milestone ahead of its US expansion through regulated channels.

The developments at Oasis Pro Markets reflect a growing trend among Wall Street firms, which are exploring the tokenization of both equities and funds, with widespread industry moves anticipated by the end of 2026.
