For Immediate ReleaseChicago, IL – August 26, 2026 – Today, Zacks Equity Kla (KLAC - Free Report) , Teradyne (TER - Free Report) and Garmin (GRMN - Free Report)

Industry: Electronics - Miscellaneous

Link: https://www.zacks.com/commentary/2979708/3-electronics-stocks-set-to-benefit-from-a-prospering-industry

The Zacks Electronics – Miscellaneous Products industry players like Kla, Teradyne and Garmin are benefiting from higher spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, data center and cloud computing. Rising spending by hyperscalers on AI compute is increasing demand for more advanced semiconductors, networking equipment, testing, process-control and precision electronic components. 

Advanced chip architectures, High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) adoption, EUV, hybrid bonding and increasingly complex packaging are increasing process-control intensity and creating demand for technologies that improve yield, reliability and system performance. However, this industry is subject to fluctuations in semiconductor capital-spending cycles, macroeconomic conditions, inventory adjustments and changes in end-market demand. Supply-chain constraints, rising input costs and geopolitical trade restrictions are notable headwinds for industry participants.

Industry DescriptionThe Zacks Electronics – Miscellaneous Products industry includes a number of original equipment manufacturers of power products, drivetrains, green energy solutions, remote-control systems, GPS navigation, home automation systems, healthcare devices, industry/factory automation, robotics, semiconductor and optical applications and energy management solutions. The industry is evolving through digital transformation and the growing demand for silicon across multiple markets. 

The increasing cost of manufacturing bodes well for equipment suppliers, while the growing demand for silicon is positive for semiconductor companies. Apart from the United States, companies in this industry are based in Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. These companies either have manufacturing operations in China and Southeast Asia or generate significant revenues from these regions.

3 Trends Shaping the Future of the IndustrySolid Capital Spending Drives Prospects: Ongoing technology transition due to rapid deployment of AI is driving product complexities, which is raising the demand for solutions provided by industry participants. More complex designs, accelerating product cycles and high-value wafer volumes are growing the demand for advanced packaging. Increasing investment in expanding manufacturing capacity by semiconductor companies is a key catalyst in the long run. Since semiconductor companies are major customers of miscellaneous electronics product manufacturers, the trend bodes well for industry participants. In addition, rising spending on advanced nodes — 7 nm, 5 nm, 3 nm and 2 nm processes from logic and foundry customers — favors industry participants. Logic and foundry spending is anticipated to be healthy this year. 

Strong Demand for AI, Data Center and Cloud Computing Solutions: Industry participants are riding on strong AI infrastructure investments, increasing compute intensity, and the need for more advanced power, thermal, automation and testing solutions. Strong hyperscaler spending, rapid advanced packaging adoption and large-scale data center buildouts are key catalysts. The rapid growth of AI workloads is increasing process complexity, driving higher demand for process control, metrology, inspection, specialty materials, precision timing and semiconductor test equipment. Meaningful recovery in industrial automation and digital infrastructure markets bodes well for industry participants.

Demand for Integrated Solutions is Rising: The industry is increasingly moving toward integrated solutions that combine compute, power, cooling, automation and energy management. This shift from discrete subsystem deployments is creating opportunities for suppliers with broad technology portfolios and systems-level capabilities. 

Challenging Macroeconomic Conditions Acts as Headwind: Industry participants are suffering from challenging macroeconomic conditions globally, with enterprises in automotive, industrial and energy end-markets showing reluctance in committing to multi-year deals. Supply chains remain under pressure as companies work to secure capacity and critical components to support rapidly rising AI-driven demand, while extended lead times and infrastructure bottlenecks, particularly around power availability, are constraining the pace of data center deployment. Additionally, memory price volatility, tariff-related cost increases, and the growing concentration of demand among a small number of hyperscale and AI customers are major concerns for industry players.

Zacks Industry RankThe Zacks Electronics – Miscellaneous Products industry is housed within the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector. The industry carries a Zacks Industry Rank #72, which places it in the top 29% of more than 246 Zacks industries.

Original source text
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Garmin (GRMN - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 2.6% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Garmin due for a breakout? 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 Garmin Ltd. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

Garmin's Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Increase Y/YGarmin reported second-quarter 2026 pro forma earnings of $2.81 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 23.79%. The bottom line increased 29% year over year.

Net sales rose 11% to $2.02 billion and surpassed the consensus estimate by 4.73%. Strong demand for advanced wearables led the growth.

GRMN's Fitness Business Drives GrowthFitness revenues increased 25% year over year to $756.8 million, accounting for 37.4% of total sales. Growth was recorded across all product categories, led by continued strength in advanced wearables.

The segment generated operating income of $277 million, up 40% from the prior-year quarter. Operating margin reached 37%, while gross margin was 64%. Garmin launched the Forerunner 70 and Forerunner 170 running smartwatches during the quarter and recently announced the CIRQA Smart Band, its first screenless smart band.

Garmin's Outdoor Revenues DeclineOutdoor revenues fell 2% to $482.7 million, primarily due to weakness in consumer auto products and adventure watches. However, favorable product mix and disciplined execution supported improved profitability.

Operating income rose 4% to $163.6 million, while operating margin reached 34%. Garmin expects stronger Outdoor revenue performance in the second half of 2026, aided by the timing of product launches. The company also expanded its golf portfolio with the Approach Z10 laser rangefinder.

GRMN Posts Broad-Based Segment GainsAviation revenues advanced 8% to $268.7 million, driven by growth in both original equipment manufacturer and aftermarket categories. Operating income increased 14% to $72.2 million, with an operating margin of 27%.
Marine revenues climbed 14% to $341.4 million, reflecting growth across multiple product categories. Operating income surged 59% to $99.8 million, and operating margin was 29%. Results benefited from a tariff refund, though management noted that product margins improved even without the benefit.

Auto OEM revenues increased 1% to $172.4 million, mainly driven by domain controllers. The segment posted operating income of $2.9 million compared to a loss of $9.5 million a year earlier, supported by improved gross profit and lower research and development expenses. Management expects revenues to decline and the segment to return to an operating loss in the second half before the planned launch of a major Mercedes-Benz program in early 2027.

Garmin's Operating Profitability ExpandsGross profit increased 18% to $1.26 billion, while gross margin expanded 360 basis points to 62.4%. Consolidated operating income climbed 30% to $615.5 million, while operating margin rose 440 basis points to 30.4%.

The margin improvement primarily reflected favorable product mix and approximately $21 million in refunds of previously paid tariffs. Management said newer products carrying higher margins represented a greater portion of sales, while vertical integration and scale also supported product cost improvements.

Operating expenses increased 9% to $646.5 million. Research and development expenses rose 10% to $303.9 million, while selling, general and administrative expenses jumped 8% to $342.6 million, mainly due to personnel-related costs.

GRMN Maintains a Strong Financial PositionGarmin generated $404 million in operating cash flow and $276 million in free cash flow during the second quarter. In the first half of 2026, it generated operating and free cash flows of $940 million and $745 million, respectively.

The company ended the period with approximately $4.4 billion in cash and marketable securities. It paid $202 million in dividends and repurchased $43 million of shares during the second quarter. In the first half of 2026, it repurchased shares worth $82 million and paid $376 million in dividends. About $448 million remained under its repurchase authorization through December 2028.

Inventory reached approximately $2 billion as Garmin maintained strategic memory holdings. Management expects higher memory costs to affect second-half results, though the impact is incorporated into its updated outlook.

Garmin Raises 2026 OutlookGarmin now expects 2026 revenues of approximately $8.05 billion, up from its prior projection of $7.9 billion. Pro forma earnings are forecast at $10 per share compared with the previous outlook of $9.35.

The company raised its gross margin forecast to 59.7% from 58.5% and its operating margin estimate to 27% from 25.5%. The projected pro forma tax rate increased to 16.5% from 16%. The revised gross margin outlook includes the tariff refund already recorded but assumes no additional tariff-related benefits.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, estimates revision have trended downward during the past month.

VGM ScoresCurrently, Garmin has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a C. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a score of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% 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 downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, Garmin has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). We expect an above average return from the stock in the next few months.

IonQ zvýšila tržby o 287 % a výhled tržeb na rok 2026
RGTI Rigetti Computing
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways IonQ's Q2 revenue surged 287% to $80.1 million, marking its fifth straight record quarter.Rigetti's revenues rose 185% to $5.1 million as it advanced Cepheus-1 and its 1,000-qubit roadmap.IonQ raised 2026 revenue guidance to $280-$290 million while expanding its full-stack strategy. Quantum computing remains one of Wall Street's highest-risk, highest-reward themes, and the latest earnings season gave investors a fresh reason to compare two of the sector's biggest names. While Rigetti Computing (RGTI - Free Report) and IonQ (IONQ - Free Report) are pursuing different technology road maps, both used their second-quarter 2026 updates to showcase accelerating commercial traction and ambitious scaling plans.

IONQ delivered the bigger financial headline. Revenues surged 287% year over year to $80.1 million, marking its fifth straight record quarter, while management raised full-year revenue guidance to $280-$290 million. The company also strengthened its vertically integrated strategy through the SkyWater acquisition and highlighted progress toward semiconductor-based 256-qubit systems.

Rigetti's numbers were smaller, with revenues climbing 185% to $5.1 million, but its quarter centered on execution. The company advanced its 108-qubit Cepheus-1 platform, reiterated its chiplet-based roadmap toward 1,000 qubits and secured a Department of Commerce letter of intent for up to $100 million in potential CHIPS Act funding.

Investors have rewarded the stronger commercial momentum. Over the past month, IONQ and RGTI’s shares have gained 14.3% and 4.6%, respectively, reflecting greater confidence in IonQ's near-term execution. Still, Rigetti's government backing, modular architecture and hybrid computing partnerships suggest this race is about more than today's revenue figures.

Let's get into more detail.

Rigetti's Growth CatalystsRigetti's second quarter reinforced its execution-focused investment case as revenue rose 185% year over year to $5.1 million, driven by on-premises Novera QPU sales, while gross margin expanded to 43% from 31% a year ago. The company also advanced its 108-qubit Cepheus-1 platform, reaffirmed its chiplet-based roadmap toward 1,000 qubits, secured a U.S. Department of Commerce letter of intent for up to $100 million in potential CHIPS Act funding and maintained a strong balance sheet with $541.3 million in cash and investments and no debt.

What's Holding Rigetti BackRigetti's biggest challenge remains translating technical progress into sustained commercial scale. Despite strong revenue growth, quarterly sales remain modest at $5.1 million, while operating expenses increased to $30.3 million as the company continued investing heavily in R&D, fabrication, refrigeration infrastructure and chip development. The company also needs to deliver meaningful improvements in Cepheus-1's gate fidelity and coherence times while executing on its ambitious 1,000-qubit roadmap, with the proposed CHIPS Act funding still awaiting a definitive agreement.

IonQ's Growth DriversIonQ strengthened its leadership position in the second quarter as revenue surged 287% year over year to $80.1 million, while organic revenue climbed 132%. The company continued expanding its commercial footprint, with 60% of revenues coming from commercial customers, 50% from international markets and 25% from multiproduct sales, while remaining performance obligations jumped to $485 million. IonQ also raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $280-$290 million and reinforced its full-stack strategy through the SkyWater acquisition and growing exposure across quantum computing, networking, security and defense.

What Could Slow IonQ's MomentumIonQ's rapid expansion continues to come with elevated costs and execution demands. The company posted an adjusted EBITDA loss of $120.3 million during the quarter, while SkyWater-related investments increased near-term spending as it accelerated product development and supply chain integration. Although the $1.8 billion SkyWater acquisition strengthens IonQ's long-term manufacturing strategy, it also raises the complexity of integrating operations while delivering on an ambitious roadmap spanning semiconductor-based quantum hardware, networking and security solutions.

2026 Estimates: RGTI Vs. IONQFor the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for RGTI’s bottom line is pegged at a loss of 19 cents per share, implying a 70.3% improvement over the 2025 reported figure.

Final Take: RGTI or IONQ?IonQ appears to have won the second-quarter earnings battle with far stronger revenue growth, higher commercial traction and a raised 2026 outlook, while Rigetti's update leaned more on technical milestones and long-term execution. However, neither stock currently carries a favorable Zacks rating. IonQ carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), while Rigetti carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), suggesting weaker near-term expectations for both. Given IonQ's stronger operating momentum but elevated spending and integration risks, and Rigetti's earlier-stage commercial profile, investors may prefer to stay on the sidelines until fundamentals improve and their Zacks ratings turn more favorable.

Key Takeaways Rigetti ended Q2 2026 with $541.3 million in cash and investments and no debt.RGTI may receive up to $100 million in CHIPS Act funding to accelerate quantum computing research.Rigetti is prioritizing R&D to advance its roadmap toward 1,000-qubit systems and quantum advantage. Rigetti Computing’s (RGTI - Free Report) strong cash position has emerged as a key competitive advantage as the company invests aggressively in scaling its quantum computing platform. The company exited second-quarter 2026 with $541.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments while carrying no debt, giving it substantial financial flexibility to pursue long-cycle technology investments.

Management believes this liquidity provides sufficient runway to execute critical milestones, including advancing Cepheus-class systems, expanding Fab-1 manufacturing capabilities, increasing dilution refrigeration capacity and supporting planned investments in the U.K. The balance sheet strength also reduces near-term financing pressure at a stage when commercial revenue remains uneven and largely dependent on the timing of system deliveries and government-backed contracts.

Rigetti's capital cushion could strengthen further through its proposed up to $100 million funding agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce under the CHIPS Act, although the arrangement remains subject to definitive approvals. Management said that the prospective funding would accelerate superconducting quantum computing research across chiplet scaling, cryogenics, advanced packaging and control electronics while remaining aligned with its disciplined capital allocation strategy.

Rather than prioritizing short-term revenue optimization, the company continues directing most of its spending toward core research and development programs that support its roadmap toward 1,000-qubit systems and quantum advantage. This disciplined approach, backed by a well-funded balance sheet, positions Rigetti to sustain technology investments while navigating the inherently volatile early-stage quantum computing market.

Peers UpdatesD-Wave Quantum (QBTS - Free Report) balance sheet remains well-capitalized despite acquisition-related cash outflows. The company ended second-quarter 2026 with $546.2 million in cash and marketable investment securities, with more than 90% of the year-over-year decline tied to its January acquisition of Quantum Circuits rather than underlying operations. Management believes this liquidity provides sufficient financial flexibility to support product development, commercial expansion and execution of its dual-platform quantum computing roadmap as bookings and remaining performance obligations continue to strengthen.

IonQ's (IONQ - Free Report) industry-leading liquidity position continues to reinforce its aggressive expansion strategy across the quantum computing ecosystem. The company closed second-quarter 2026 with nearly $3 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments, or roughly $2 billion on a pro forma basis after accounting for the completed SkyWater acquisition. Management expects this substantial cash reserve to comfortably fund near-term working capital and capital expenditure needs while supporting its vertically integrated roadmap spanning quantum computing, networking, sensing and semiconductor manufacturing.

Rigetti’s Price Performance, Valuation and EstimatesShares of RGTI have lost 23.6% in the year-to-date period compared with the industry’s decline of 4.5%.

QBTS D-Wave Quantum
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
The tail end of the summer may be giving investors in quantum computing a bit of whiplash. On the one hand, D-Wave Quantum Inc. NASDAQ: QBTS delivered one of the more underwhelming Q2 2026 earnings reports, missing on both earnings and revenue, with sales growth seemingly grinding to a halt while competitors saw healthy acceleration.

D-Wave Quantum Today

$16.99 -0.91 (-5.08%)

As of 08/28/2026 04:00 PM Eastern

$12.75▼

$46.75$36.27

On the other hand, shares of QBTS are up about 20% in the last month, perhaps the first sign of a recovery after a multi-month decline that has been ongoing since May. Short interest in the stock is up, but only to about 1.3% of the float over the past month.

Get D-Wave Quantum alerts:

Despite missing expectations and appearing to fall behind the pack in its last earnings, there is nonetheless a compelling bull case for D-Wave going forward—based on the company's strong potential to convert contracted projects into realized revenue, its capacity to build bookings, its rising backlog, and more.

All of these factors could combine to justify Wall Street's continued enthusiasm and the impressive 90% predicted upside for QBTS stock.

Looking Beyond the Sales SlumpD-Wave's Q2 sales slump is, on the surface, discouraging—particularly given that rivals like IonQ Inc. NYSE: IONQ posted strong growth in this area in their recent reports. However, there are signs beyond revenue that D-Wave's commercial adoption may be poised to take off.

Commercial revenues represented some 62% of revenue for the quarter, an increase of 45% compared to the prior-year quarter. The company is also generating its revenue from more customers—over 100 in the first half of the year—which is an important development for a firm and industry that has traditionally relied heavily on a small number of lucrative contracts to fuel bottom lines.

Crucially, customers are moving beyond experimentation with quantum tech. Production applications accounted for more than 37% of D-Wave's quantum computing as a service (QCaaS) revenue in the first half of 2026, nearly quadruple their share of those sales in the first half of 2025. This could be an indication that clients are more thoroughly integrating quantum computing into their day-to-day operations.

Bookings and Backlog May Be a Hidden Measure of SuccessPerhaps the strongest argument that investors should not write D-Wave off just yet is the company's strong customer demand, as evidenced by its bookings. While much of this demand has not yet translated to realized revenue, the firm noted 59% year over year (YOY) improvement in its quarterly bookings. Looking at the entire first half of the year, bookings were up a stratospheric 1,120% to $35.5 million.

Yes, more than half of that latter figure is due to a single annealing system sale to Florida Atlantic University—though a good portion of that contract has not yet been recognized as revenue in a quarterly earnings report owing to the lengthy delivery, installation, and testing process. This, however, gives investors a glimpse of future earnings, with the anticipation that the majority of that contract—and others—will show up in future revenue figures.

Looking at D-Wave's backlog also gives the impression that momentum is building in key areas. The firm's remaining performance obligations (RPO) suggest that future revenue could be much higher than recent results would indicate. As of the end of June 2026, D-Wave's RPO stood at $40.7 million, a massive 668% up from the same figure one year earlier. If the expected 57% of that backlog converts to revenue in the coming year, investors may look ahead to a major sales boost.

A Reminder of the RisksThe quantum race is continuing at breakneck speed, and despite the potential suggested by some details in D-Wave's recent earnings report, investors should keep in mind the risks. The industry may be stratifying into top performers, middling firms, and up-and-coming stars, and there is always the threat posed by major legacy tech companies as well.

D-Wave's earnings were a disappointment, with revenue coming in below expectations, losses appearing wider than analysts had predicted, and investors reminded that quarterly results are lumpy and unpredictable. Beyond that, quantum as an industry remains speculative, as none of the firms has achieved widespread commercial adoption yet.

D-Wave's technology is compelling, and its poor revenue performance may not reflect the real momentum that is building among customers. However, the company still very much faces an uphill battle if it is to lead the quantum industry in its efforts to revolutionize computing across the board.

IonQ, Rigetti a D-Wave rostou, ale dál prodělávají

Three US-listed quantum pure-plays are posting explosive revenue growth and landing government contracts, yet all three bleed hundreds of millions in losses and swing violently in either direction. Separating the genuine moats from the accounting noise is the only way…

Quantum computing is the most speculative corner of public tech markets right now, and September 2026 offers a fresh chance to size up the three US-listed pure-plays that dominate the conversation. All three trade at nosebleed multiples relative to revenue, all three post enormous operating losses, and all three have delivered violent multi-hundred-percent swings in either direction over the past year. This is a category for risk-tolerant investors willing to underwrite pre-commercial technology in exchange for optionality on a computing paradigm shift.

Sentiment has cooled from last autumn’s mania, but the fundamental story is arguably stronger. Backlogs are exploding, government contracts are landing, and hardware roadmaps are advancing in months instead of years. Here is where the three leading names stand heading into September, with the bull case, one verified data point, and one risk for each.

IonQ (IONQ): The Vertically Integrated Bet IonQ (NYSE:IONQ | IONQ Price Prediction) is the largest quantum pure-play by market cap, sitting at roughly $17 billion after closing at $42.05 on August 25. The stock has ripped 28.05% over the past month but remains down 6.28% year to date, illustrating why this is a name for investors who can stomach whipsaw action.

The bull case tightened materially in August. Q2 revenue hit $80.05 million, up 286.83% year over year, and management raised full-year 2026 guidance to $280 million to $290 million. Remaining performance obligations grew 297% year over year. CEO Niccolo de Masi called it "the fifth consecutive quarter of record results and the strongest quarter in our company’s history." The closed SkyWater acquisition makes IonQ, in management’s own words, "the only vertically integrated, full-stack quantum platform and the largest merchant supplier to the US and allied quantum ecosystem." Analyst consensus is 85% bullish with a $67.68 target price.

The risk is the GAAP picture. Q2 net income was -$1.87 billion, distorted by $1.6 billion in warrant-liability fair-value changes and $141.8 million in stock-based compensation. Beta sits at 3.3. Any speed bump in the SkyWater integration or the 256-qubit roadmap gets punished hard.

Rigetti Computing (RGTI): The Superconducting Wildcard Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI) is the smallest of the three by revenue, but the balance sheet is arguably the cleanest. Shares closed at $16.94 on August 25, up 19.72% over one month yet still down 23.52% year to date. The 52-week range of $12.53 to $58.15 tells you everything about the volatility profile.

The bull case is strategic. Rigetti has a letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for up to $100 million in potential CHIPS Act funding over three years, sits on $541.29 million in cash and investments with no debt, and posted Q2 revenue of $5.14 million, up 185.29% year over year. CEO Subodh Kulkarni pointed to Rigetti’s "open modular approach, superconducting gate-based architecture, and chiplet-based scaling strategy" as competitive differentiators. The consensus model flags 101.53% upside to a base-case price of $34.14.

The risk is scale. R&D burn was $20.73 million in Q2 against tiny revenue, and Rigetti remains heavily dependent on government and academic orders. The Commerce Department funding, if consummated, likely brings dilution. Retail sentiment on Reddit is described as "Bearish retail sentiment."

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS): The Only Commercial Annealer D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) closed at $19.35 on August 25, up 28.83% over one year but down 26% year to date. It carries the most bullish analyst posture of the trio, with a 94% bullish sentiment split and a $35.24 analyst target.

The bull case is commercial traction ahead of reported revenue. Q2 revenue was $3.076 million, down 0.61% year over year, missing consensus, yet first-half 2026 bookings surged to $35.50 million from $2.90 million, and remaining performance obligations grew 668% year over year to $40.70 million. Commercial customers now represent 62.4% of Q2 revenue, up from 45.1%. New engagements with AT&T, Nasdaq Verafin, Oki Electric, Shionogi, and Unisys broaden the customer base. CEO Alan Baratz stated that "D-Wave is translating technical leadership into commercial progress."

The risk is the disconnect between bookings and recognized revenue. Adjusted EBITDA loss widened 85% to $37.1 million, cash and investment securities fell to $546.2 million from $819.3 million, and the gate-model roadmap does not target 100 logical qubits until 2032. Beta is 2.16.

Positioning Into September These three stocks share the same speculative DNA: negative forward EPS, warrant-driven GAAP volatility, and roadmaps that stretch years into the future. IonQ offers scale and a vertically integrated moat. Rigetti offers a clean balance sheet and CHIPS Act optionality. D-Wave offers the only commercially deployed annealing business and rapidly accelerating bookings. What happens next depends on execution. If the roadmaps hit, the upside cases the models flag look plausible. If they slip, the drawdowns will be brutal. The risk/reward asymmetry is stark, which is exactly why a name like this belongs inside a fenced-off speculation sleeve with real position-sizing rules (we wrote a free playbook on speculating with just 5% of a portfolio that spells out the sizing and the exit discipline).

D-Wave klesá po odchodu CFO, IonQ a Rigetti také slábnou
QBTS D-Wave Quantum
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
A retiring CFO sent D-Wave Quantum shares tumbling while peers like IonQ and Rigetti got caught in the crossfire, raising a bigger question about whether a routine leadership change reveals something deeper about the risks of owning pre-profit quantum names.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS) stock is down 8% to $17.79 in midday trading Wednesday after the company disclosed its chief financial officer will retire next week. Also, IonQ (NYSE:IONQ | IONQ Price Prediction) shares are down 3% to $40.68, tracking the D-Wave headline as sentiment seems to sour on certain quantum-computing names.

The Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:QTUM) is down 0.4% to $148.27, barely reacting to the D-Wave move. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is unchanged at $765.57. That gap between the cluster fund and its noisiest member frames today’s decline as a name-specific event.

D-Wave Quantum stock was down 26% year to date through Tuesday’s close, so today’s reaction lands on a name already under pressure this year. IonQ shares are also lower year-to-date, providing context for today’s sympathy move. D-Wave Quantum’s market capitalization sits at $6.57 billion, while IonQ’s market cap sits at $16.48 billion.

Catalyst: Markovich Retires Effective September 2 D-Wave Quantum announced on August 25 that CFO John Markovich is retiring and stepping down effective September 2. Greg Golkov, senior vice president of finance since May 2023, becomes acting chief financial officer and principal financial and accounting officer.

Golkov brings more than 25 years of finance and accounting experience, previously serving as vice president and controller at Butterfly Network and senior vice president of finance at Kaseya. His current remit at D-Wave Quantum already covers accounting, SEC reporting, financial planning and analysis, treasury and tax, so the internal handoff is coming from a familiar seat. Prior operating roles at technology and IT services businesses give Golkov experience relevant to D-Wave Quantum’s cloud-first commercial model.

D-Wave Quantum’s release stated explicitly that the resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to its business, operations, accounting policies, practices, financial statements, disclosure controls and procedures, or internal control over financial reporting. CEO Alan Baratz credited Markovich with a pivotal role in taking the company public in 2022, raising over $900 million in capital, and developing a path to profitability.

Why an Orderly CFO Change Is Sinking QBTS The company is a pre-profit business with a $6.57 billion market capitalization built on future capital raises and future revenue conversion. The company is the only company offering both annealing and gate-model quantum computing systems, sells through the Leap quantum cloud service, professional services, and on-premises systems, and serves more than 100 organizations while holding over 290 U.S. granted patents.

At companies at this stage, the finance seat carries more weight than at a mature operator, because credibility around the path to profitability and the ability to execute additional financings run through it. D-Wave Quantum has stated there was no accounting or controls issue behind the change, so today’s response reads as sentiment around an unexpected leadership shift at a speculative name.

D-Wave Quantum’s Q2 2026 results underline why finance leadership matters at this stage. The company reported Q2 revenue of $3.08 million (missing the $4.03 million estimate), while remaining performance obligations reached $40.7 million, up 668% year over year.

IonQ’s own most recent quarter provides useful contrast on why the market reacts differently to different quantum names. IonQ reported Q2 2026 revenue of $80.05 million (beating the $66.42 million estimate) and raised its full-year 2026 outlook to $280 million to $290 million. That stronger fundamental profile helps explain why the sympathy move in IonQ stock is smaller than the primary reaction in D-Wave Quantum stock today.

Peer Reaction and Position Sizing Other quantum names frequently trade alongside D-Wave and IonQ shares on quantum headlines, and remain part of the same speculative basket. The 3% slide in IonQ stock today, alongside a barely-moved Defiance Quantum ETF, is a reminder of how correlated the group remains, even when the trigger belongs to one company.

Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI) stock is trading at $16.12, down 5%. Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:QUBT) stock is down only 1% to $8.35. Both names are lower on the session, but as you can see, the damage isn’t evenly spread.

For position sizing, investors holding D-Wave Quantum stock into this transition may want to keep their exposure modest until Golkov’s tenure produces a full quarterly close and an earnings call. D-Wave Quantum stock carries a beta of 2.16 and a 52-week range of $12.75 to $46.75, which argues for smaller position sizes than a mature technology name would warrant (we wrote a free playbook on sizing speculative bets to no more than 5% of a portfolio, here).

Investors can watch for signs that the acting CFO tag becomes permanent, which would remove one layer of uncertainty from this story. D-Wave Quantum’s next scheduled information point is the Q3 2026 earnings report, where management can address capital planning, the pace of bookings-to-revenue conversion, and the path to profitability under new finance leadership.

D-Wave Quantum oznamuje 40,7 milionu USD v zakázkách
QBTS D-Wave Quantum
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
D-Wave Quantum (QBTS -5.08%) is a genuine rarity. It's a pure-play quantum computing company with actual paying customers, and its systems are already running production workloads.

Real customers, real results AT&T cut a complex network optimization task from roughly an hour to under 15 seconds using D-Wave's annealing technology. That's not a demo. That's a useful business tool.

Management discussed the AT&T project among several other deals on the recent Q2 2026 earnings call. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) hit $40.7 million at the end of June, up 668% year over year. More than half of this backlog should convert into revenue over the next year.

The business is also broadening. D-Wave's January acquisition of Quantum Circuits added a gate-model program to its established annealing platform. A peer-reviewed Nature paper published this summer validated key architectural claims about the resulting dual-rail approach. Management is targeting 100 logical qubits and over 1 million reliable gate operations by 2032 -- thresholds often seen as the minimum for large-scale commercial operations.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

Growing pains But this year brought some turbulence alongside the progress. CFO John Markovich announced his retirement this week, effective Sept. 2. His interim replacement is a capable finance veteran, but leadership continuity matters. D-Wave's stock fell 9.5% on the day of that announcement.

The company is burning cash fast and spending heavily to build out a brand-new gate-model business. Is that the right time to install new financial leadership?

Early production deployments are not the same thing as a profitable business. Free cash flow was -$119 million over the last four quarters, up from -$76 million in fiscal year 2025 and -$45 million in 2024. The lights are staying on (and D-Wave was able to spend $250 million of cash plus $300 million in stock on the Quantum Circuits buyout) because the company isn't shy about asking shareholders for more money. The share count has doubled in two years, diluting the value of existing shares.

The safer quantum trade Investors who want quantum exposure without massive financial and execution risks should look at tech giants like IBM (IBM -1.34%) or Alphabet (GOOG +1.53%) (GOOGL +1.74%) instead. These titans can afford to outspend specialists like D-Wave for years. Neither is engaged in annealing technology yet, but that could change in a heartbeat.

If pure-play quantum is nonnegotiable for a portfolio, D-Wave is probably the most defensible choice in that category -- it has real customers and a dual-platform strategy its peers lack. Just size it accordingly, because the valuation assumes everything goes right, and the CFO transition is a reminder that things don't always go right. Personally, I'm not comfortable with the 500x price-to-sales ratio.

UPDATE ON THE REMEDIATION OF THE U.S. BANK SECRECY ACT/ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING PROGRAM AND ENTERPRISE AML PROGRAM

As previously disclosed, on October 10, 2024, the Bank announced that, following active cooperation and engagement with authorities and regulators, it reached a resolution (the "Global Resolution") of previously disclosed investigations related to its U.S. BSA/AML program. The Bank and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries consented to orders with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"), and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") and entered into plea agreements with the Department of Justice ("DOJ"), Criminal Division, Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section and the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey. The full terms of the consent orders and plea agreements are available on the Bank's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.

The Bank is focused on meeting the terms of the consent orders and plea agreements, including meeting the requirements to remediate the Bank's U.S. BSA/AML program. In addition, the Bank is also undertaking remediation of the Bank's enterprise-wide AML/Anti-Terrorist Financing and Sanctions Programs ("Enterprise AML Program").

For additional information on the risks associated with the remediation of the Bank's U.S. BSA/AML program and the Bank's Enterprise AML Program, see the "Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results – Remediation of the Bank's U.S. BSA/AML Program and Enterprise AML Program" section of the 2025 MD&A.

Update on the Remediation of the U.S. AML Program
The Bank remains focused on remediating its U.S. BSA/AML program to meet the requirements of the Global Resolution. The Bank continues to work on its management remediation actions (the term "management remediation actions" is not a regulatory definition and is considered by the Bank to consist of the root cause assessments, data preparation, design, documentation, frameworks, policies, standards, training, processes, systems, testing and implementation of controls, as well as the hiring of resources) with significant work and important milestones remaining in calendar 2026 and calendar 2027 including the Suspicious Activity Report lookback per the OCC consent order which management expects to complete in calendar 2027. For fiscal 2026, the Bank expects U.S. BSA/AML remediation and related governance and control investments to be approximately US$550 million pre-tax6, higher than the previous guidance of US$500 million due to increased costs associated with lookback activities. All management remediation actions will be subject to demonstrated sustainability and validation by the Bank's internal audit function (with such activities currently planned for calendar 2026 and calendar 2027), as well as the review by the appointed monitor, and, ultimately, the review and approval of the Bank's U.S. banking regulators and the DOJ. Following such independent reviews, testing, and validation, there could be additional management remediation actions that would take place after calendar 2027 in which case the overall remediation timeline may be extended. In addition, as the Bank undertakes the lookback reviews, the Bank may be required to further expand the scope of the review, either in terms of the subjects being addressed and/or the time period reviewed. The following graph illustrates the Bank's expected remediation plan and progress on a calendar year basis, based on its work to date.

The Bank's remediation timeline is based on the Bank's current plans, as well as assumptions related to the duration of remediation activities, including the completion of lookback reviews. The Bank's ability to meet its planned remediation milestones assumes that the Bank will be able to successfully execute against its U.S. BSA/AML remediation program plan, which is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties including the Bank's ability to attract and retain key employees, the ability of third parties to deliver on their contractual obligations, the successful development and implementation of required technology solutions, and data availability to complete the required lookback reviews. Furthermore, the execution of the U.S. BSA/AML remediation plan, including these planned milestones, will not be entirely within the Bank's control because of various factors such as (i) the requirement to obtain regulatory approval or non-objection before proceeding with various steps, and (ii) the requirement for the various deliverables to be acceptable to the regulators and/or the monitor. As of the date hereof, the Bank believes that it and its applicable U.S. subsidiaries have taken such actions as are required of them to date under the terms of the consent orders and plea agreements and is not aware of them being in breach of the same. For information about the Bank's AML governance framework, see the "Managing Risk" section of the Bank's 2025 Annual Report.

While substantial work remains, the Bank is making progress on remediating and strengthening its U.S. BSA/AML program as previously disclosed including continued improvements through:

a more mature assessment of the U.S. Bank's inherent financial crime risk profile and increased frequency of transaction monitoring coverage assessments which together provide greater visibility into emerging and evolving risks, help ensure monitoring is aligned to those risks, and allow the Bank to more dynamically respond to those risks; enhanced anti-trafficking and fraud detection efforts through investigative partnerships, improving the Bank's ability to detect and respond to evolving financial crime threats; the rollout of new specialized financial crime risk training courses for colleagues in higher-risk business lines that are designed to enhance the expertise of front-line teams operating in areas with elevated AML risk and reinforce the consistent application of our policies, standards and controls; and continued progress by the third-party vendor against multiple populations of lookback reviews.

6

The total amount expected to be spent on remediation and governance and control investments is subject to inherent uncertainties and may vary based on (i) the scope of work in the U.S. BSA/AML remediation plan, which could change as a result of additional findings that are identified as work progresses, (ii) actual third party monitor and lookback review costs, which could vary from initial estimates and are not entirely within the control of the Bank, as well as (iii) the Bank's ability to successfully execute against the U.S. BSA/AML remediation program in accordance with the U.S. Banking segment's fiscal 2026 and medium‑term plan.

Going forward, the Bank's focus will be on continuing to remediate and strengthen its U.S. BSA/AML program, including:

further deployments of the new KYC platform; further deployments of machine learning and specialized AI; deployment of an enhanced currency transaction reporting platform; continued data enhancements with the deployment of dedicated Financial Crime Risk Management (FCRM) data environments which will create a single source of truth in support of advanced detection capabilities; continued enhancements to its financial crime risk assessment methodologies and processes; continued training and development of colleagues; and continued execution of lookback reviews as required under the OCC and FinCEN consent orders. Strengthening of the Bank's Enterprise AML Program
The Bank continues to undertake remediation of the Enterprise AML Program, including a range of management remediation and enhancement actions (the term "management remediation and enhancement actions" is not a regulatory definition and is considered by the Bank to consist of root cause assessments, data preparation, design, documentation, frameworks, policies, standards, training, processes, systems, testing, and execution of controls, as well as the hiring of resources). While the Bank has made progress on this remediation work, it is a multi-year endeavour and the remediation work remains ongoing. The timing of completion of the remediation work will not be entirely within the Bank's control, and is subject to regulatory feedback, internal review, challenge and validation. As previously disclosed, following the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) commenced a review of certain remediation steps that the Bank has taken to date to address the FINTRAC violations. This review is ongoing, and subject to the outcome, may result in additional regulatory actions.

The remediation and enhancement of the Enterprise AML Program is exposed to similar risks as noted in respect of the remediation of the Bank's U.S. BSA/AML Program (see also "Remediation of the U.S. BSA/AML Program" above). In particular, as the Bank continues its remediation and improvement activities of the Enterprise AML Program, it expects an increase in identification of reportable transactions and/or events, which will add to the operational inventories in the Bank's FCRM investigations processing that the Bank currently faces, but is working towards remediating, across the Bank. In addition, on an ongoing basis, the Bank will continue to review and assess whether issues identified in one jurisdiction have an impact in other jurisdictions. Furthermore, the Bank's regulators or law enforcement agencies may identify other issues with the Bank's Enterprise AML Program, which may result in additional regulatory actions. These issues identified through the Bank's own review or by the Bank's regulators or law enforcement agencies may broaden the scope of the remediation and improvements required for the Enterprise AML Program.

While substantial work remains, the Bank is making progress on remediating and strengthening the Enterprise AML Program as previously disclosed, including:

advanced investigative effectiveness through enhanced automation and analytics; continued modernization of financial crime monitoring and screening capabilities; and strengthened financial crime risk management technology and workflow capabilities. Going forward, the Bank's focus will be on continuing to remediate and strengthen its Enterprise AML Program, including:

continued progress on clearing operational inventories; ongoing advancements in transaction monitoring capabilities, including monitoring coverage and effectiveness; and continued investment in supporting advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI opportunities within FCRM. HOW WE PERFORMED 

ECONOMIC SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
The global outlook for the remainder of 2026 remains shaped by the ongoing oil price shock, which has renewed inflation concerns and added to growth headwinds. In China, weak domestic demand and disappointing second-quarter data point to a softer backdrop. Europe appears on track to improve modestly, supported by healthy labour markets, though elevated energy prices remain a constraint. Broadly, the global economy is adjusting to higher-for-longer interest rates and persistent inflation, creating difficult trade-offs for policymakers.

The U.S. economy is on track to outpace other G7 economies for a fourth consecutive year. TD Economics forecasts real GDP to expand by 2.2% in calendar 2026. Activity has been supported by continued AI-related capital spending and expansionary fiscal policy. Bolstered by tax cuts, consumer spending has held up in the face of higher energy prices. The U.S. labour market remains in an environment where both hiring and layoff rates are low, with employment growth running roughly in line with labour force growth. The unemployment rate has drifted lower over the last few months, reaching a thirteen-month low of 4.1% in July.

U.S. inflation is still above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, reflecting both the pass-through effects from tariffs and higher energy prices. As a result, the risk of policy rate increases has risen, with more Federal Reserve officials expressing a desire for tighter policy after a prolonged period of elevated inflation. TD Economics expects inflation pressures to ease as supply shocks fade, enabling the Federal Reserve to keep the policy rate unchanged at 3.5%-3.75% this year. The timing and pace of interest rate moves will depend on labour market trends and whether inflationary pressures prove more persistent than expected.

Canada's economy contracted marginally in late 2025 and early 2026, but TD Economics expects it to rebound solidly in the second calendar quarter of 2026. New U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods that followed the breakdown in trade talks pose a downside risk to growth, but the impact will depend on how long the tariffs are in place and the extent of retaliation. Canada's labour market has improved more than expected so far this year. A recent pickup in hiring, alongside modest labour force growth, has pushed the unemployment rate lower, reaching a two-year low of 6.4% in July. Looking ahead, growth is expected to be supported by a firming in business investment, public infrastructure and defense outlays, and steady consumer spending. Risks to the outlook remain highly sensitive to geopolitical events and U.S. trade policy.

The Bank of Canada has held the overnight rate at 2.25% so far this year after substantial easing since mid-2024. TD Economics expects the policy rate to stay unchanged through the remainder of 2026. With the economy in excess supply and growth expected to remain modest, inflation should remain close to the Bank of Canada's 2% target. A generally weaker U.S. dollar and a narrower gap between U.S. and Canadian short-term interest rates are expected to support the Canadian dollar as geopolitical tensions ease. TD Economics expects the Canadian dollar to remain in the 72-74 U.S. cent range over the next few quarters, although the outcome of U.S. trade policy will be a key determinant of timing and direction.

HOW THE BANK REPORTS
The Bank prepares its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, the current GAAP, and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as "reported" results.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
In addition to reported results, the Bank also presents certain financial measures, including non-GAAP financial measures that are historical, non-GAAP ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures, to assess its results. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as "adjusted" results, are utilized to assess the Bank's businesses and to measure the Bank's overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank adjusts for "items of note" from reported results. Items of note are items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance and are disclosed in Table 3. Non-GAAP ratios include a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components. Examples of non-GAAP ratios include adjusted net interest margin, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted dividend payout ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, net of ISE, and adjusted effective income tax rate. The Bank believes that non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. Supplementary financial measures depict the Bank's financial performance and position, and capital management measures depict the Bank's capital position, and both are explained in this document where they first appear.

Investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab") and Insured Deposit Account (IDA) Agreement
On February 12, 2025, the Bank sold its entire remaining equity investment in Schwab through a registered offering and share repurchase by Schwab. The Bank discontinued recording its share of earnings available to common shareholders from its investment in Schwab following the sale.

Prior to the sale, the Bank accounted for its investment in Schwab using the equity method. The U.S. Banking segment reflected the Bank's share of net income from its investment in Schwab. The Corporate segment net income (loss) included amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles, the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction, and the Bank's share of restructuring and other charges incurred by Schwab. The Bank's share of Schwab's earnings available to common shareholders was reported with a one-month lag. For further details, refer to Note 12 of the Bank's 2025 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subsequent to the sale of the Bank's entire remaining equity investment in Schwab, the Bank continues to have a business relationship with Schwab through the insured deposit account agreement ("Schwab IDA Agreement").

On May 4, 2023, the Bank and Schwab entered into an amended Schwab IDA Agreement, with an initial expiration of July 1, 2034. Pursuant to the Schwab IDA Agreement, the Bank makes sweep deposit accounts available to clients of Schwab. Schwab designates a portion of the deposits with the Bank as fixed-rate obligation amounts. Remaining deposits are designated as floating-rate obligations. The IDA deposit floor is set at US$60 billion.

Refer to Note 26 of the Bank's 2025 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Schwab IDA Agreement.

EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

Return on Common Equity
The consolidated Bank ROE is calculated as reported net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. The consolidated Bank adjusted ROE is calculated as adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity. Adjusted ROE is a non-GAAP financial ratio and can be utilized in assessing the Bank's use of equity.

ROE for the business segments is calculated as the segment net income as a percentage of average allocated capital. The Bank's methodology for allocating capital to its business segments is largely aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III. Capital allocated to the business segments was based on 11.5% CET1 Capital.

Return on Tangible Common Equity
Tangible common equity (TCE) is calculated as common shareholders' equity less goodwill, imputed goodwill and intangibles on the investments in Schwab and other acquired intangible assets, net of related deferred tax liabilities. ROTCE is calculated as reported net income available to common shareholders after adjusting for the after‑tax amortization of acquired intangibles, which are treated as an item of note, as a percentage of average TCE. Adjusted ROTCE is calculated using reported net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for all items of note, as a percentage of average TCE. TCE, ROTCE, and adjusted ROTCE can be utilized in assessing the Bank's use of equity. TCE is a non-GAAP financial measure, and ROTCE and adjusted ROTCE are non-GAAP ratios.

HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED

For management reporting purposes, the Bank's business operations and activities are organized around the following four key business segments: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance, and Wholesale Banking. The Bank's other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment. Effective June 1, 2026, the Bank implemented a reorganization within the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment, whereby Small Business Banking transitioned from Canadian Business Banking to Canadian Personal Banking. The reorganization does not impact the segment's reporting.

Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. Where applicable, the Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on adjusted results and ROE, and for those segments, the Bank indicates that the measure is adjusted. For further details, refer to the "How We Performed" section of this document, the "Business Focus" section in the Bank's 2025 MD&A, and Note 27 of the Bank's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2025.

PCL related to performing (Stage 1 and Stage 2) and impaired (Stage 3) financial assets, loan commitments, and financial guarantees is recorded within the respective segment.

Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-taxable or tax-exempt income, including certain dividends, is adjusted to its equivalent pre-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. The TEB increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in Wholesale Banking results is reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $23 million, compared with $18 million in the prior quarter and $16 million in the third quarter last year.

The Bank's U.S. strategic cards portfolio is comprised of agreements with certain U.S. retailers pursuant to which TD is the U.S. issuer of private label and co-branded consumer credit cards to their U.S. customers. Under the terms of the individual agreements, the Bank and the retailers share in the profits generated by the relevant portfolios after credit losses. Under IFRS, TD is required to present the gross amount of revenue and PCL related to these portfolios in the Bank's Interim Consolidated Statement of Income. At the segment level, the retailer program partners' share of revenues and credit losses is presented in the Corporate segment, with an offsetting amount (representing the partners' net share) recorded in non-interest expenses, resulting in no impact to the Corporate segment's reported net income (loss). The net income included in the U.S. Banking segment includes only the portion of revenue and credit losses attributable to TD under the agreements.

Effective the first quarter of 2026, non-interest income within U.S. Banking is adjusted for the Bank's share of losses from community-based tax-advantaged investments accounted for using the equity method which are reclassified to provision for income taxes. This allows the Bank to measure the effective tax rate for U.S. Banking consistently with similar institutions. The adjustment between non-interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in U.S. Banking results is reversed in the Corporate segment. Comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the first quarter of 2026.

On February 12, 2025, the Bank sold its entire remaining equity investment in Schwab. Prior to the sale, the Bank accounted for its investment in Schwab using the equity method and the share of net income from investment in Schwab was reported in the U.S. Banking segment. Amounts for amortization of acquired intangibles, the acquisition and integration charges related to the Schwab transaction, and the Bank's share of restructuring and other charges incurred by Schwab were recorded in the Corporate segment. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the U.S. Banking segment no longer includes contributions from Schwab and consequently discussions of the U.S. Banking segment's performance exclude Schwab.

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets used in the calculation of net interest margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in the "How We Performed" section of this document and the Glossary in the Bank's third quarter 2026 MD&A for additional information about these metrics.

Effective the third quarter of 2025, call center operations have been realigned from the Corporate segment to the businesses, providing end to end ownership of customer experience. The change mainly impacts the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment. Average number of full-time equivalent staff has been restated for comparative periods.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income for the quarter was $2,095 million, an increase of $142 million, or 7%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher revenue, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses.

PCL for the quarter was $478 million, an increase of $15 million compared with the third quarter last year. PCL – impaired was $446 million, an increase of $70 million, or 19%, largely reflecting credit migration in the consumer lending portfolios. PCL – performing was $32 million, a decrease of $55 million compared with the third quarter last year. The performing provisions this quarter reflect credit migration and volume growth. Total PCL as an annualized percentage of credit volume was 0.30%, a decrease of 1 basis point (bp) compared with the third quarter last year.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $2,131 million, an increase of $65 million, or 3%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher employee-related expenses.

As we look forward to the fourth quarter, based on current rate and competitive market dynamics, we expect net interest margin to modestly increase7. Non-interest income increased $22 million, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting business growth.

PCL for the quarter was $478 million, a decrease of $20 million compared with the prior quarter. PCL – impaired was $446 million, a decrease of $19 million, or 4%, largely reflecting lower provisions in the commercial lending portfolio.

Effective the first quarter of 2026, non-interest income within U.S. Banking is adjusted for the Bank's share of losses from community-based tax-advantaged investments accounted for using the equity method which are reclassified to provision for income taxes. The adjustment between non-interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in U.S. Banking results is reversed in the Corporate segment. The adjustment for the quarter was $185 million (US$132 million), compared with $179 million (US$131 million) in the prior quarter, and $165 million (US$120 million) in the third quarter last year, 2026 YTD: $548 million (US$395 million); 2025 YTD: $490 million (US$349 million). Comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted effective the first quarter of 2026.

Adjusted non-interest income excludes the following items of note:

i.

Balance sheet restructuring – Q3 2025: $262 million or US$188 million ($196 million or US$141 million after tax), 2025 YTD: $2,282 million or US$1,603 million ($1,713 million or US$1,202 million after tax).

ii.

Charge reflecting a change in the partnership share in the U.S. strategic cards portfolio, resulting in an adjustment to the corresponding program receivable – Q2 2026: $197 million or US$144 million ($147 million or US$107 million after tax), 2026 YTD: $197 million or US$144 million ($147 million or US$107 million after tax).

7

The after-tax amount for amortization of acquired intangibles was recorded in the Corporate segment.

8

Capital allocated to the business segment was 11.5% CET1 Capital.

9

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing U.S. Banking segment's net interest income by average interest-earning assets excluding the impact related to sweep deposits arrangements and the impact of intercompany deposits and cash collateral, which management believes better reflects segment performance. In addition, the value of tax-exempt interest income is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. For investment securities, the adjustment to fair value is included in the calculation of average interest-earning assets. Net interest income and average interest-earning assets used in the calculation are non-GAAP financial measures.

For additional information about this metric, refer to the Glossary in the Bank's third quarter 2026 MD&A.

On February 12, 2025, the Bank sold its entire remaining equity investment in Schwab. Discussions of the U.S. Banking segment's performance exclude Schwab. Refer to the "Significant Events" section of the Bank's 2025 Annual Report for further details.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Bank completed the conversion of its Nordstrom credit card portfolio onto the Bank's servicing platform and received a greater share of revenue and credit losses. The Bank incurred a charge of $197 million (US$144 million) pre-tax, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting an adjustment of amounts which will no longer be recovered from Nordstrom for expected credit losses ("receivable adjustment").

Aligned with the U.S. Banking segment's priority to optimize its store network as outlined in the Bank's 2025 MD&A and subject to regulatory approval, U.S. Banking expects to open 100 new stores by the end of calendar 20288.

Insurance service expenses were $4,666 million, an increase of $179 million, or 4%, compared with the same period last year, primarily driven by increased claims severity, higher estimated losses from catastrophe claims and higher costs due to business growth initiatives.

Non‑interest expenses were $3,803 million, an increase of $344 million, or 10%, compared with the same period last year, reflecting higher variable compensation commensurate with higher revenue, increased employee‑related expenses and spend supporting business growth initiatives.

The efficiency ratio for the period was 32.3%, compared with 32.1% for the same period last year. The efficiency ratio, net of ISE, for the period was 53.5%, compared with 55.0% in the same period last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Wholesale Banking reported and adjusted net income for the quarter was $743 million. Reported net income for the quarter increased $345 million, or 87%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher revenues and lower PCL, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses. On an adjusted basis, net income increased $320 million, or 76%, compared with the third quarter last year.

Revenue for the quarter was $2,581 million, an increase of $518 million, or 25%, compared with the third quarter last year. Higher revenue primarily reflects higher lending revenue, underwriting fees, and trading-related revenue.

PCL for the quarter was $41 million, a decrease of $30 million compared with the third quarter last year. PCL – impaired was $6 million, a decrease of $57 million compared with the prior year, reflecting higher impairments in the prior year. PCL – performing was a build of $35 million, an increase of $27 million compared with the prior year. The performing build this quarter largely reflects credit migration and volume growth.

Reported and adjusted non-interest expenses for the quarter were $1,594 million. Reported non-interest expenses increased $101 million, or 7%, compared with the third quarter last year, primarily reflecting higher variable compensation and front office costs, partially offset by the cessation of acquisition and integration-related costs. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses increased $133 million, or 9%.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2026 vs. Q2 2026
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter was $743 million. Net income increased $131 million, or 21%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily reflecting higher revenues and lower PCL, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses.

Revenue for the quarter increased $188 million, or 8%, compared with the prior quarter. Higher revenue primarily reflects higher trading-related revenue and advisory fees.

PCL for the quarter was $41 million, a decrease of $37 million compared with the prior quarter. PCL – impaired was $6 million, a decrease of $74 million compared with the prior quarter, reflecting higher impairments in the prior quarter. PCL – performing was a build of $35 million, compared with a recovery of $2 million in the prior quarter. The performing build this quarter largely reflects credit migration and volume growth.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $85 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily reflecting higher variable compensation and front office costs.

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Wholesale Banking reported and adjusted net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 was $1,916 million. Reported net income for the period increased $800 million, or 72%, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflecting higher revenues, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and PCL. On an adjusted basis, net income increased $708 million, or 59%.

Revenue for the period was $7,444 million, an increase of $1,252 million, or 20%, compared with the same period last year. Higher revenue primarily reflects higher lending revenue, trading-related revenue, and underwriting and advisory fees.

PCL was $291 million, an increase of $25 million compared with the same period last year. PCL – impaired was $302 million, an increase of $145 million, reflecting a small number of impairments across various industries. PCL – performing was a recovery of $11 million, compared with a build of $109 million in the same period last year. The current year performing recovery was driven by migration from performing to impaired, partially offset by volume growth.

Reported and adjusted non-interest expenses were $4,666 million. Reported non-interest expenses increased $177 million, or 4%, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflecting higher variable compensation, front office costs, and spend supporting business growth, partially offset by the cessation of acquisition and integration-related costs.

Effective the third quarter of 2025, call center operations have been realigned from the Corporate segment to the businesses, providing end-to-end ownership of customer experience. The change mainly impacts the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment. Average number of full-time equivalent staff has been restated for comparative periods.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $138 million, compared with $478 million in the third quarter last year. The lower net loss primarily reflects restructuring charges in the prior year. The adjusted net loss for the quarter was $82 million, compared with $164 million in the third quarter last year. The lower adjusted loss is driven primarily by higher revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities.

Quarterly comparison – Q3 2026 vs. Q2 2026
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $138 million, compared with a reported net income of $64 million in the prior quarter. The quarter-over-quarter change primarily reflects the second quarter impact of a tax benefit related to the prior year's gain on sale of Schwab shares. The adjusted net loss for the quarter was $82 million, compared with $166 million in the prior quarter. The lower adjusted loss is driven primarily by lower net corporate expenses and favourability from tax benefits.

Year-to-date comparison – Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 was $433 million, compared with a reported net income of $7,378 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year change primarily reflects the gain on sale of Schwab shares in the prior year. The adjusted net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 was $401 million, compared with $591 million in the same period last year. The lower adjusted loss is driven by higher revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities, partially offset by increased net corporate expenses. Net corporate expenses increased $242 million compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting continued investments in governance and controls.

RBC, TD a CIBC překonaly odhady zisku
TD Toronto-Dominion
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO), TD Bank (TD.TO) and CIBC (CM.TO) beat quarterly profit estimates ​on Thursday as the Canadian lenders largely benefited from strong earnings in their capital markets segments.

The results wrap up the third-quarter earnings season ‌for Canada's largest banks, with all six lenders beating Bay Street profit estimates despite geopolitical uncertainty and the fallout from the trade dispute between Canada and the U.S., a key market for some of the country's major banks.

The banks have strengthened their balance sheets over the past two years by building capital, robust earnings and sizable reserves against potential credit losses, leaving them ​better positioned to withstand economic and trade-related uncertainty. The banks have expanded beyond Canada and built fee-based businesses such as wealth management and investment ​banking, helping diversify revenue streams.

"These results reflect three forces working together: diversified business model, strong client activity, and a favorable ⁠market backdrop," RBC CEO Dave McKay told analysts.

Still, RBC shares were down 2%.

"The results were better than expected (for RBC). But if you go segment by segment, ​they were a little bit light in their largest segment, which is Canadian personal banking," said Brian Madden, chief investment officer at First Avenue Investment Counsel. Madden said ​rich valuations prompted his firm to trim its positions in RBC, TD and BMO (BMO.TO) this month.

TD's shares were marginally up, while CIBC was down 3.5%.

WELL POSITIONED
Trade tensions intensified this month after negotiations aimed at reaching a bilateral trade agreement collapsed. The United States imposed tariffs on certain Canadian goods and Canada responded with duties on U.S. steel and aluminum.

"I feel very comfortable ​with the reserve we have ... the situation is still quite fluid; we have to look at the specifics of the tariffs, how long it lasts, the ​detail of (the government) responses," TD Bank's CFO Kelvin Tran said in an interview.

"That's something that we're monitoring very carefully."

CIBC said the most tariff-sensitive businesses it lends to represent less than ‌1% of ⁠the bank's total loan portfolio. RBC said it was optimistic about increased foreign direct investment and Canada's new trade relationships.

CAPITAL MARKETS GROWTH
Capital markets businesses have benefited from strong deal flow, higher trading income fueled by volatile markets, and a revival in IPO markets in the U.S. and Canada.

RBC, the only Canadian bank in the underwriting syndicate for SpaceX's blockbuster initial public offering, said capital markets net income rose 16% to C$1.54 billion ($1.11 billion).

The results were also boosted by a 32% rise in ​profit at its wealth management segment.

At ​CIBC, capital markets income rose 34%, ⁠boosted by lower loan loss provisions.

TD said its wholesale banking segment, which includes capital markets and corporate and investment banking services, recorded an 87% increase in net income. Its U.S. segment recorded a 41% increase in net income. The bank said ​it plans to open 100 new branches in the region by 2028.

JUSTIFIED PREMIUM
The Canadian banks are trading at an ​average of about 15 ⁠times forward earnings, the most expensive they have been since 2010, and their stocks have outperformed the broader Toronto Stock Exchange.

"Its (RBC) valuation premium was once again justified by its impressive return on equity (ROE)," Jefferies analyst John Aiken said, citing the bank's 17.9% ROE, which beat the lender's own target. "To close out third-quarter earnings, TD produced the strongest ⁠beat of ​the quarter," Aiken said.

CIBC's adjusted net income of C$2.73 per share was 20 Canadian cents above ​analysts’ estimates, according to LSEG data.

RBC earned C$4.28 per share, also beating the estimate of C$4.08. At TD, adjusted earnings of C$2.77 per share were well above the average analysts' estimate of C$2.47.

APLD Applied Digital
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Applied Digital Corporation (APLD - Free Report) . Shares have added about 8.4% 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 Applied Digital Corporation 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 catalysts.

Applied Digital Q4 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/YApplied Digital reported a loss of 39 cents per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, a deterioration from a loss of 24 cents registered in the year-ago quarter. The figure was wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 18 cents by 116.67%.

Revenues surged 407% year over year to $258.7 million, driven by the ramp-up of HPC tenant fit-out services at Polaris Forge 1 and continued strength in the Data Center Hosting Business. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $240 million by 7.79%.

APLD's Segment Performance

The Data Center Hosting Business generated $37.3 million in revenues, materially consistent year over year with stable operating conditions, as both Jamestown (106 MW) and Ellendale (180 MW) operated at full capacity as of May 31. The segment generated $12.5 million in operating profit during the quarter, on a reported asset base of $113.8 million, and continues to be the company's highest return on asset business.

The HPC Hosting Business contributed $203 million in revenues during the quarter. This included $152.4 million from tenant fit-out services, $44.1 million related to base rent and $6.5 million related to tenant recoveries. The segment generated an operating profit of $26.2 million. The business now spans five contracted campuses totaling roughly 1.4 gigawatts of critical IT load, following three new leases signed with a single high-investment-grade hyperscaler since the prior quarter.

During the quarter, the company completed the separation of its Cloud Services Business, combining it with Ekso Bionics Holdings to form ChronoScale Holdings Corporation. Applied Digital retained approximately 96% ownership. Reflecting this, the company consolidated ChronoScale revenues of $18.4 million for the quarter. The segment is excluded from the company's non-GAAP results going forward as management evaluates the Data Center Hosting and HPC Hosting businesses as its core operations.

APLD's Operating Details

Services cost of revenues jumped 256% year over year to $193.1 million, primarily reflecting $145.6 million associated with tenant fit-out services for the HPC Hosting Business. Data center rental and other cost of revenues came in at $25.1 million, primarily comprising depreciation and amortization on the first HPC data center at Polaris Forge 1, along with reimbursable tenant recovery expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses surged 303% year over year to $165.3 million. The increase was driven by $116.8 million in stock-based compensation tied to accelerated vesting of employee stock awards and grant activity related to the ChronoScale separation, as well as $7.3 million in personnel expenses tied to headcount growth and $5.6 million in professional services expense.

Interest expense net rose 26% year over year to $10.6 million, as a $31.9 million increase in interest expense from new debt arrangements was partially offset by a $30.5 million increase in interest income from higher balances held in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts.

The company recognized a $53.3 million gain on the change in fair value of derivatives, comprising a $69.9 million increase in the value of its Babcock & Wilcox common stock warrant partially offset by a $16.7 million decrease in the fair value of derivative assets tied to preferred units. It also recorded a $4.8 million gain on the change in fair value of investments, reflecting the appreciation of its B&W common stock position. Neither gain was present in the year-ago quarter.

APLD's Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

As of May 31, Applied Digital held cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $4.2 billion compared with $2.1 billion as of Feb. 28. Total debt stood at approximately $5 billion compared with $2.7 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting the closing of $2.15 billion of senior secured notes tied to Polaris Forge 2, along with a new revolving credit facility.

Operating cash flow was positive $89.7 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, a marked improvement from cash used in operations of $115.4 million in the prior fiscal year, aided by a strong step-up in collections during the fourth quarter.

APLD Offers Positive Outlook

Applied Digital ended the fiscal year with roughly 1.4 gigawatts of contracted critical IT load across five AI Factory campuses, representing approximately $36 billion in total contracted lease revenue, or approximately $86 billion including renewal options. It is actively marketing another 1.7 gigawatts across multiple states, citing robust demand and rising lease rates.

Management is in advanced talks to expand capacity by 100 MW and 150 MW with two existing investment-grade customers, which would lift total capacity to 1.66 gigawatts and add over $6 billion in contracted revenue at current rates. The company is also working with Base Electron to develop roughly 1.2 gigawatts of natural gas fired generation in the Dakotas to support further expansion.

Applied Digital now expects to hit its $1 billion annual net operating income target roughly three years ahead of schedule, with quarterly capex guided at approximately $600 million as construction continues across its campuses.

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 -27.5% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresCurrently, Applied Digital Corporation has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a C. However, the stock was allocated a score of F on the value side, putting it in the fifth quintile for value investors.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of D. 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 Applied Digital Corporation has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerApplied Digital Corporation is part of the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry. Over the past month, Blackstone Inc. (BX - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 7.1%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended June 2026 more than a month ago.

Applied Digital zvýšila tržby o 167 % na 611 milionů USD
APLD Applied Digital
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Applied Digital (APLD -7.65%) stock has been on a roller-coaster ride this year. However, the past few months have been quite painful for this artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure specialist.

Applied Digital stock has pulled back 45% from the 52-week high it reached almost three months ago. However, a closer look at the company's surging growth and the bright prospects of the AI data center infrastructure market suggests that the recent pullback in this stock could be a buying opportunity.

Let's look at the reasons why.

The market is underestimating Applied Digital's growth potentialApplied Digital is in the business of designing, building, and operating data centers designed to handle AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. This puts the company right in the middle of a lucrative growth opportunity.

Market research firm Dell'Oro Group estimates that global spending on AI data centers could exceed $3 trillion by the end of the decade, driven by the need to support the growth in AI workloads in the cloud. What's worth noting is that Dell'Oro has almost doubled its data center capex outlook for 2030 since January 2026.

It won't be surprising to see this estimate move higher in the future, as more companies integrate AI into their operations to unlock productivity gains. A report released by workplace advisory services provider Gallup earlier this year noted that 65% of employees using AI in organizations have reported a jump in productivity.

So, the massive addressable market that Applied Digital is poised to capitalize on could get even bigger in the future. The good news is that the company is positioning itself to capitalize on the tremendous opportunity in this market. The company posted a 167% increase in revenue in fiscal 2026 (ending May 31) to $611 million. Importantly, it also reduced its diluted loss per share by 22%.

Applied Digital's growth rate could accelerate substantially in the future, given its robust lease revenue pipeline. Applied Digital has leased out 1.4 gigawatts (GW) of data center capacity across its five data center campuses. The company estimates that these leases will generate $36 billion in lease revenue across 15 years under the base contractual term.

Importantly, Applied Digital has started delivering the data center capacity, which will help it convert the lease revenue pipeline into actual revenue. The company estimates that it will complete delivery of the entire 1.4 GW of the contracted data center capacity by the second half of 2028. What's more, Applied Digital notes that the renewal options included in these lease contracts could take its potential long-term lease revenue to an impressive $86 billion.

But even if Applied Digital's customers don't exercise the renewal options, which seems quite unlikely amid the booming data center demand, its annual revenue run rate could be around $2 billion over the next 15 years. That's a conservative estimate, as the company is looking to add new data center campuses, in addition to increasing capacity at existing campuses.

So, Applied Digital's top line could jump substantially from its fiscal 2026 levels, and that's precisely what analysts are expecting.

APLD Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts

The terrific top-line growth will send the stock soaringThe $2.72 billion revenue estimate for fiscal 2029 points to a jump of almost 4x in Applied Digital's top line from fiscal 2026 levels. Such impressive growth explains why this AI stock is trading at a relatively expensive 12 times sales, while the U.S. tech sector has an average sales multiple of 7.4.

The good news is that the recent pullback in Applied Digital stock has made it relatively inexpensive to buy right now, as it was trading at over 38 times sales at the end of May. Assuming Applied Digital trades at the U.S. tech sector's average sales multiple after three years and its revenue reaches $2.72 billion in fiscal 2029, its market cap could increase to $20 billion.

That's a potential upside of 156% from current levels. So, investors looking to buy a top growth stock to capitalize on the AI data center boom should consider using the pullback in Applied Digital to buy more shares before it goes on a bull run.

Expand Energy ve 2. čtvrtletí překonal EPS, tržby zaostaly
EXE Expand Energy
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Expand Energy (EXE - Free Report) . Shares have added about 4.5% 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 Expand Energy 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 Expand Energy Corporation before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

Expand Energy Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates on Strong ProductionExpand Energy reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $1.33, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9%. The company’s bottom line increased from the year-ago adjusted profit of $1.10 per share, fueled by strong production and lower operating expenses.

Expand Energy’s ‘natural gas, oil and NGL’ revenues of $1.8 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2 billion. The top line was also below the year-ago figure of $2 billion.

On July 27, Expand Energy announced the acquisition of Twin Eagle, creating North America’s leading integrated natural gas company.

Production & Price RealizationsThe company reported the average second-quarter daily production (comprising 92% natural gas) of 7,482 million cubic feet of gas equivalent (MMcfe/day), increasing 3.9% from the year-ago level of 7,202 MMcfe/day. The daily production levels surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7,460 MMcfe/day. Natural gas volume for the period came in at 6,896 MMcfe/day, up 4.5% year over year. The consensus mark called for 6,898 MMcf/day of natural gas. EXE’s oil production was 14 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d), while NGL output totaled 83 MBbl/d.

The average sales price for natural gas during the second quarter was $2.42 per Mcf, down 17.4% from the prior-year realization of $2.93 per Mcf. It was also below the consensus mark of $2.64. The average realized oil price was $84.71 per barrel compared with the consensus mark of $80. Meanwhile, the average realized NGL price was $26.26 per barrel, above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $25.79.

Costs & ExpensesTotal operating expenses in the quarter were $2.3 billion, lower than the year-ago quarter’s $2.4 billion. This was mainly driven by decreases in exploration, marketing and depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses. The company’s exploration, marketing and depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses of $16 million, $649 million and $722 million during the second quarter of 2026 decreased from the year-ago levels of $20 million, $791 million and $769 million, respectively.

Dividend & Share RepurchasesIn the second quarter, the company plans to pay its quarterly base dividend of 57.5 cents per share on Sept. 3, 2026, to its shareholders of record on Aug. 13. Furthermore, Expand Energy expects to continue its returns-focused allocation of capital, including share repurchases, while preserving its balance sheet capacity.

Year-to-date through July 24, 2026, Expand Energy has redeemed approximately $1.3 billion of gross debt and executed $849 million of share repurchases.

Financial PositionCash flow from operations totaled $1.1 billion, decreasing from the prior-year quarter levels of $1.3 billion, while Expand Energy’s cash capital expenditure totaled $753 million, leading to a free cash flow of $343 million. It also paid out $138 million in dividends during the period.

As of June 30, 2026, the company had $663 million in cash and cash equivalents. Expand Energy had long-term debt of $3.7 billion, reflecting a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 15.96%.

Guidance for Q3 & 2026Expand Energy is targeting an average daily production in the range of 7,400-7,500 MMcfe for the third quarter of 2026 and 7,400-7,600 MMcfe for full-year 2026. The company has budgeted its capital spending between $700 million and $780 million for the upcoming quarter, while for 2026, the figure is projected to be between $2.75 billion and $2.95 billion.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, estimates review have trended downward during the past month.

VGM ScoresCurrently, Expand Energy has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock has a score of A on the value side, putting it in the top 20% for value investors.

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 broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, Expand Energy has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Summit hlásí delší medián přežití bez progrese u NSCLC
SMMT Summit Therapeutics
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:SMMT) announced that The Lancet Oncology published primary analysis results from its global Phase 3 HARMONi trial.

Significant Progression-Free Survival ImprovementsThe study evaluated ivonescimab combined with platinum-doublet chemotherapy against a placebo and chemotherapy regimen.

This treatment targets patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated, locally advanced, or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who experienced disease progression after using a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

The trial data showed that patients receiving the ivonescimab combination experienced a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 6.8 months, compared to 4.4 months for the placebo group.

This represents a statistically significant improvement with a hazard ratio of 0.52. Independent radiographic reviewers confirmed these findings, noting consistent benefits across preplanned subgroups.

Manageable Safety Profile And Survival TrendsWhile the primary overall survival (OS) analysis showed a positive trend for the ivonescimab combination, it did not reach statistical significance at that time.

Researchers observed a manageable safety profile, reporting severe treatment-related hemorrhage events in less than 1% of patients.

Following the primary data, the company shared an updated OS analysis based on a June 2026 data cut-off.

This follow-up demonstrated a continued positive OS trend, revealing a 0.76 hazard ratio for Western patients. The efficacy and safety profile remained consistent across both Asian and Western demographics.

Upcoming Presentations And Regulatory MilestonesSummit Therapeutics will present further details from this updated data analysis at the 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer on September 15.

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration assigned a November 14, 2026, action date for the company’s Biologics License Application.

In August, Summit Therapeutics partner Akeso Inc. noted that China approved ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

SMMT Price Action: Summit Therapeutics shares were up 4.05% at $13.24 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Original source text
Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:SMMT) partner Akeso Inc. on Wednesday released positive topline findings from its randomized Phase 3 HARMONi-GI1 clinical trial (or AK112-309).

The study evaluated ivonescimab paired with chemotherapy against durvalumab combined with chemotherapy as a first-line therapy for patients diagnosed with advanced biliary tract cancer.

Ivonescimab Demonstrates Superior Survival EndpointA pre-specified interim analysis revealed that the ivonescimab combination achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful superiority in overall survival over the durvalumab combination.

This primary endpoint result highlights a notable outcome, as durvalumab combined with chemotherapy is currently the preferred first-line immunotherapy regimen recommended by international medical guidelines and recognized as the optimal standard of care.

Furthermore, the trial met its key secondary endpoints, including progression-free survival and objective response rate.

Akeso plans to share comprehensive safety and efficacy data from this initial readout at an upcoming medical congress and publish the complete findings within a peer-reviewed journal.

First Phase 3 Trial To Beat Gold StandardThe HARMONi-GI1 trial stands as the first Phase 3 study in biliary tract cancer to show a statistically significant positive overall survival outcome against the global gold standard of a PD-L1 monoclonal antibody paired with chemotherapy, marking a major milestone in treating this complex disease.

Akeso sponsored the single-region, multi-center trial in China, exclusively generating, managing, and analyzing all associated data.

Regulatory Status Across Global MarketsIvonescimab is currently approved and commercially available in China for non-small cell lung cancer indications.

The therapeutic agent remains investigational and has not secured approval from regulatory authorities across Summit’s licensed territories, which encompass the U.S. and Europe.

SMMT Price Action: Summit Therapeutics shares were up 7.82% at $14.40 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Oklo roste, ale bez tržeb a první SMR je daleko
OKLO Oklo
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Shares of Oklo (OKLO -5.62%) jumped more than 12% on Aug. 25, reaching more than $44 per share. That's the good news. The bad news is that the small nuclear reactor company's shares are down more than 38% so far this year.

The bounce-back, while a positive sign for those who have already invested in this nuclear energy stock, won't be luring me anytime soon. The company went public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and began trading publicly in May 2025. There are a lot of reasons I'm planning to stay on the sidelines, but they can be summed up as one: Oklo's hype is outpacing its reality. Here's why.

Image source: Getty Images.

It's a pre-revenue company with a long horizon to profitability Oklo has a market cap of around $8 billion, but it generates no commercial energy income today, and its first Small Modular Reactor (SMR), the Aurora Powerhouse, isn't expected to enter commercial operation for years. In June, Oklo announced that the Department of Energy's Idaho Operations Office had approved the preliminary documented safety analysis (PDSA) for the company's first deployment of its Aurora Powerhouse, which is under construction at Idaho National Laboratory. In the meantime, the company is incurring tens of millions in operating losses annually, which means sustained cash burn and an ongoing risk of share dilution if it needs to raise additional equity to fund construction.

In the second quarter, the company reported a loss from operations of $124.2 million. The net loss was $81.6 million, partially offset by $44.5 million in net interest and dividend income. The company has $1.6 billion in cash, but $78.6 million in debt, so interest and loan payments eat into its earnings.

Regulators are not sold yet on small modular reactors SMR development faces one of the strictest regulatory environments in the world through the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Oklo was already denied an initial custom combined license application in 2022, with the NRC citing gaps in safety baseline data. Navigating approvals, reactor construction, and fuel supply chains, such as securing high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU, on schedule is notoriously difficult, and single delays can push revenue out by years. The NRC and Oklo are still going back and forth on the potential approval for the company's Aurora. Regulatory bodies such as the NRC were designed to evaluate traditional, massive light-water reactors. Novel SMR designs, such as gas-cooled microreactors or molten-salt reactors, require custom safety evaluations, leading to multiyear approval timelines.

It's an expensive process, one reason why SMR competitor NuScale Power (SMR -4.62%) and its partner, Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, dropped the Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP) in Idaho in November 2023 after projected costs ballooned from $5.3 billion to more than $9.3 billion.

Its valuation is still too high because of the hype Fueled by market enthusiasm around powering artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, Oklo's stock has experienced extreme volatility. At a multibillion-dollar valuation, much of its long-term success is already baked into the price despite the company having zero proven operational track record at scale.

You can't analyze its valuation by traditional metrics since it doesn't have product revenue or earnings yet. However, its price-to-book ratio is around 2.5, meaning investors are paying $2.50 for every $1 of net assets (total assets minus total liabilities) reported on the company's balance sheet.

Any negative headline regarding licensing delays, technical issues, or broader pullbacks in AI infrastructure spending could trigger sharp drawdowns. I'm not saying the stock doesn't have tremendous long-term prospects, but the risks are too high for me until it has its first SMR approved and running.

Highlights:

Vertical extent of high-grade subdomain increased by 94 m to 644 m with RK-26-293 intersecting cumulative 4.7 m of >10,000 cps, including 0.1 m of >61,000 cps at 930 m depth.

Down plunge test hole, RK-26-290c1, intersected multiple stacked uranium veins across 40 m of the high-grade subdomain intersecting cumulative 19.5 m of >10,000 cps including 12.9 m of >10,000 cps that surrounds 5.2 m of >61,000 cps.

Internal continuity strong throughout highlighted by RK-26-294 intersecting cumulative 6.9 m of >10,000 cps including 3.1 m of >61,000 cps located 27 m up dip of RK-24-222 (17.0 m at 3.85% U3O8).

Holes RK-26-290c1 and RK-26-294 represent the two best holes for 2026 to date, and rank as the best and third best holes, based on cumulative >61,000 cps, intersected at PCE since discovery.

Additionally, the up dip high-grade subdomain expanded by 50 m in RK-26-296 that returned cumulative 3.5 m of >10,000 cps including 0.4 m of >61,000 cps.

NexGen adding a fifth drill rig to continue to advance PCE optimally.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2026) - NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG) ("NexGen" or the "Company") announces results from the early portion of 2026 summer drilling at PCE which expanded the high-grade subdomain both up and down dip while continuing to demonstrate strong internal continuity of intense high-grade mineralization (Figures 1 and 2, Table 1).

High-grade uranium mineralization now extends to 930 m with hole RK-26-293 intersecting cumulative 4.7 m of >10,000 cps including 0.1 m of >61,000 cps. This hole expanded the vertical extent by 94 m, a 17% increase to 644 m. This zone of intense mineralization is accompanied by strong, broad hydrothermal alteration with notable potential for additional mineralized continuation nearby and below (Figures 1 and 2). The strike extent remains at 210 m as recent tests primarily focused on confirmation of deep-seated interpretations.

RK-26-290c1 designed as a down-plunge test in hole delivered a dual purpose as a test across the full extent of the previous known mineralized footprint of PCE in order to understand the geometry, continuity and extents of high-grade zones within the overall mineralization. This hole intersected multiple stacked uranium veins across 40 m of the high-grade subdomain with cumulative 19.5 m of >10,000 cps including 12.9 m of >10,000 cps that surrounds 5.2 m of >61,000 cps. This is the best hole to date at PCE based on >61,000 cps. Advancement of the model was optimized with confirmation of interpretations as well as critical identification of repeating, mineralization-controlling structural disruptions.

RK-26-294 delivered confirmation of strong internal continuity of intense mineralization intersecting cumulative 6.9 m of >10,000 cps including 3.1 m of >61,000 cps located 27 m along strike of RK-24-222 (17.0 m at 3.85% U3O8) (Figures 1 to 4). Together with RK-26-290c1, these holes combined represent the two best holes drilled to date in 2026.

Additional new drilling shown in Figures 1 and 2, and Table 1, tested the mineralized extents and key areas within the high-grade subdomain. These holes provided crucial geological orientation information that influences extents of the model, in particular the high-grade component. An example being RK-26-296 with cumulative 3.5 m of >10,000 cps including 0.4 m of >61,000 cps that expanded the shallowest portion of PCE by 50 m along strike. Overall, the bulk of high-grade subdomain mineralization at PCE is 70 m shallower than the A2 High-Grade (HG) Zone.

Jason Craven, Vice President of Exploration, commented: "Growth of the high-grade subdomain continues to exceed expectations with expansions across the areas of focus with mineralization still open in most directions. Establishing clear connectivity between intense high-grade intersections with RK-26-290c1 and RK-26-294, which both hit broad zones of intense uranium mineralization is a material advancement of this discovery. In addition, RK-26-293 is extremely exciting as it has expanded the high-grade subdomain by 94 m and opened this area up for potential high-impact growth of this high-grade mineralization."

Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Given today's results at PCE, the team is adding a fifth drill rig for the remainder of the 2026 program. In parallel, with construction of the Rook I Project, the team is delivering on multiple fronts and simultaneously expanding the long-term growth profile of NexGen as a world leader in the provision of this key energy fuel."

Drilling at PCE recommenced on May 28, 2026 and to date in 2026 a total of 20,138.7 m has been completed of the planned 42,000 m, focusing on high-grade growth and expansion of mineralization. Eleven drillholes this summer totalling 7,425.2 m have further tested the mineralization at PCE. NexGen has added a fifth drill rig to continue to advance this uranium discovery optimally. Additional tests of the parallel trend at PCE are planned as part of the remainder of summer drilling. Samples from 2026 drilling are continuously submitted to the independent Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratory (SRC), with results to follow.

CoreWeave má zadlužení 35 miliard USD a záporný peněžní tok
CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
CoreWeave is racing to build the AI infrastructure backbone that hyperscalers desperately need, and its revenue backlog dwarfs what most companies ever dream of. But a closer look at what is financing that expansion raises serious questions about whether growth…

The AI infrastructure buildout continues to reshape capital markets in 2026, with specialized providers racing to deliver the power and GPUs that large language models demand. Investors have piled into the sector on the promise of multi-year contracts and soaring utilization. Yet not every high-growth name deserves a place in a retail portfolio.

CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) illustrates the tension perfectly: explosive physical expansion meets a balance sheet that already strains under the weight of its own ambition.

Capacity Growth Looks Compelling on Paper CoreWeave has scaled active data center capacity from roughly 70 megawatts (MW) at the end of 2023 to about 1.5 GW by mid-2026, with management targeting more than 1.8 GW by year-end. Projections point toward 3.2 GW by the close of 2027. That trajectory would nearly triple the physical foundation of its revenue base in under two years.

The company does not build in a vacuum. Its revenue backlog stood at $104.2 billion after the second quarter of 2026 — a figure that exceeds its market capitalization and reflects multi-year take-or-pay style contracts with major AI and hyperscale customers. 

Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS | NBIS Price Prediction) and IREN (NASDAQ:IREN) are expanding too, but from smaller bases and with less absolute leverage. CoreWeave’s scale puts it in the lead on raw megawatts, and every additional gigawatt theoretically supports billions in potential annual revenue under industry modeling assumptions. In short, demand appears real and contracted. The growth story is not speculative.

Explosive AI growth meets a $35 billion reality check. CoreWeave is building the future, but its massive debt load leaves no room for error. The Debt Arithmetic Changes the Picture Yet, that same expansion is financed overwhelmingly with borrowed money. CoreWeave ended the second quarter of 2026 with roughly $35 billion in total debt, up sharply from prior periods, against a few billion dollars in cash and liquidity. Interest expense alone reached $640 million in the quarter and is guided higher. At current rates and balances, annual interest costs are on track to approach or surpass $3 billion — a heavy fixed burden for a company that has yet to post sustained positive GAAP operating income.

Free cash flow remains deeply negative because capital expenditures hit $9.4 billion in a single quarter and full-year 2026 guidance was raised to $35 billion to $39 billion. Peer comparisons underscore the difference. 

Nebius carries roughly $8.5 billion in long-term debt with a heavier mix of low-coupon convertibles and substantial customer prepayments expected to exceed $9 billion in 2026.  IREN’s total debt sits nearer $4 billion, supported by project-level financing at rates below 6% in some facilities and meaningful prepayments on recent contracts. CoreWeave’s leverage stands apart.

Granted, much of the debt is asset- or contract-backed, and the company has lowered its weighted average cost of borrowing by about 300 basis points over the past year. That said, the absolute size still leaves thin margins for error if GPU utilization slips, pricing softens, power delivery lags, or capital markets tighten.

Why the Risks Outweigh the Growth for Most Investors The investing thesis here is straightforward. CoreWeave is executing a high-growth strategy that requires continuous large-scale external capital to convert backlog into revenue. Interest costs are already large enough to keep GAAP results in the red even as adjusted metrics improve. Credit markets have reflected caution through elevated default-probability pricing in some periods and occasional widening of spreads on new facilities.

Smart investors can acknowledge the multi-year demand runway for AI infrastructure without owning the most leveraged participant. Nebius and IREN offer exposure to similar capacity expansion with lower absolute debt loads and greater reliance on prepayments. CoreWeave’s own numbers — $35 billion in debt, $640 million quarterly interest, and still-negative free cash flow — show why the risk-reward balance currently tilts the wrong way for a long-term holding.

Key Takeaway CoreWeave’s data center growth is accelerating and its backlog provides genuine visibility. Yet the combination of $35 billion in debt and rising interest expense creates a capital structure too fragile for most retail portfolios. 

Investors seeking AI infrastructure exposure are better served looking at peers with more conservative funding mixes until CoreWeave demonstrates a clear path to sustained free cash flow and meaningful deleveraging.

RUM Group roste, ale chybí financování kontraktu
CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
RUM Group CEO Chris Pavlovski just publicly named CoreWeave and Nebius as targets for his company's AI infrastructure arm, but the SEC filing sitting behind that bold claim reveals a financing gap that could stop the Maysville data center before…

RUM Group (NASDAQ:RUM) stock is up 11% to $10.44 Tuesday midday after CEO Chris Pavlovski publicly named CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) and Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS | NBIS Price Prediction) as targets for the company’s AI infrastructure push. RUM Group stock was up 48% year to date (YTD) through Monday’s close, extending a run that has reshaped the story around the former Rumble.

In contrast, Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT) stock is down 0.7% to $9.23. Trump Media stock was down 30% YTD through Monday’s close, a reminder that retail still associates the two tickers despite very different businesses.

The sector backdrop is friendlier today than it was on Monday. Global X Data Center & Digital Infrastructure ETF (NASDAQ:DTCR) is up 2% to $28.53, joining today’s rally after fading in the prior session. Meanwhile, Global X Social Media ETF (NASDAQ:SOCL) is up 0.8% to $45.26, a milder tailwind for the platform side of the RUM Group story.

Quake AI Puts Neocloud Rivals on Notice Pavlovski used a post on X to sharpen his pitch, writing that “our Quake AI division is a real player, and we will fiercely compete with the likes of CoreWeave, Nebius and all neoclouds.” Quake AI is RUM Group’s AI infrastructure arm, seeded by the recently closed Northern Data deal and positioned alongside the media assets that most retail investors know as Rumble.

RUM Group began operating under that name after closing its all-stock acquisition of German AI cloud company Northern Data in June. The deal was agreed in November 2025 and valued at roughly $767 million, adding about 22,400 NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) GPUs including H100s and H200s. That installed base is the credibility foundation under Pavlovski’s challenge to larger neocloud names.

Financing Gap Behind the Ambition Monday’s catalyst was RUM Group’s six-year GPU services contract. The agreement is worth approximately $13.7 billion with an unidentified U.S.-based cloud provider, covering capacity from the Maysville, Georgia data center, which remains under development. Payment comes in three phases, and the third tranche is conditional on the customer approving the proposed delivery schedule.

Today’s wrinkle comes from RUM Group’s own filing language. The company stated in SEC filings that it currently lacks the financing required to fulfil the contract and plans to raise capital through debt or equity, while warning that its obligations to the customer aren’t dependent on securing that financing. That framing widens the visible gap between the CEO’s public ambition and the balance sheet behind Quake AI.

RUM Group lays the risk out plainly in an SEC filing:

If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing on acceptable terms, we may be unable to complete the facility, acquire the necessary GPUs and related equipment, meet applicable delivery milestones or otherwise timely perform our obligations under the Commercial Agreement.

The company also cited construction and permitting delays, higher costs, material shortages, labor constraints, power supply concerns, and regulatory uncertainty as risks.

Warrant Terms and Sector Read The customer’s incentive is baked into a warrant with meaningful dilution optionality for RUM Group holders. The warrant grants the customer up to 50.81 million Class A shares at $0.01 per share and carries a 10-year term. Half vests alongside the three GPU service tranches, and the remainder vests in five 10% increments as additional purchase agreements are signed, with full vesting once cumulative purchases exceed 2.5 times the initial contract value. Any unvested portion expires if the agreements lapse or are breached.

The data center complex is joining RUM Group today, a shift from Monday when DTCR was lower while RUM Group rallied alone. That signals whether this is a single-name story or a genuine sector bid, and the picks-and-shovels names powering the buildout are the ones we profiled in a free AI infrastructure report you can grab here. CoreWeave and Nebius Group remain the reference points investors will price Quake AI against, and both sit at valuations well above RUM Group’s current level.

Investors can watch for whether RUM Group stock holds the double-digit handle into the close, and whether the company follows Pavlovski’s post with a formal Quake AI investor presentation. The financing plan is the next material event, given that RUM Group’s contract obligations don’t wait for capital to arrive. Debt terms, equity dilution, and any Tether-related backstop are the levers that will define execution risk.

For their positions, investors should keep their exposure to RUM Group modest until the company details how debt or equity will fund the Maysville build. The gap between ambition and cash is wide, and dilution risk sits inside the warrant terms as well as any future raise. Trump Media stock remains sentiment-driven at the moment, and the DTCR ETF is a clean way to hold data center exposure without single-name execution risk.

CoreWeave čeká růst ziskovosti navzdory dražšímu dluhu
CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
CoreWeave, Inc‘s (NASDAQ:CRWV) recent $2.6 billion financing rattled investors, sending the AI cloud company’s shares under pressure as concerns mounted about higher borrowing costs and rising leverage.

But one Wall Street analyst argues the market may be overlooking a key detail: the same financing that sparked skepticism could ultimately help lift CoreWeave’s profitability.

Why CoreWeave’s Debt Deal Sparked Investor ConcernsFreedom Capital Markets reiterated its Buy rating and $151 price target after hosting a non-deal roadshow with CoreWeave’s investor relations team, but acknowledged that the company’s latest financing has become a flashpoint for investors.

The delayed-draw term loan, announced earlier this month, has an approximate five-year maturity—longer than the roughly three-year average duration of the customer contracts backing the facility. The loan also came with an interest rate equivalent to roughly 8.2% to 9.2% — higher than many investors had expected.

According to analyst Paul Meeks, those factors, combined with an already risk-off environment for AI infrastructure stocks, “rattled cages” and pressured CoreWeave shares.

The timing did little to help sentiment. Meeks noted that AI infrastructure names broadly sold off in July, with investors growing increasingly cautious toward the sector amid concerns about financing costs and capital intensity.

The Bull Case Hinges on Higher-Priced AI Contracts“The bright side here is that shorter-term contracts are now pricing & repricing at much higher rates, which make them more profitable even with CRWV’s higher cost of borrowing,” Meeks wrote.

Trending

That argument echoes CoreWeave’s own rationale for the transaction. The company said the new financing structure allows it to fund shorter-duration customer agreements that typically command higher margins while expanding its addressable enterprise customer base. It also said lenders’ willingness to finance contracts with shorter maturities reflects confidence in long-term demand for AI infrastructure.

For Meeks, the more important catalyst lies beyond the financing itself.

He expects CoreWeave’s adjusted operating margin to improve from 7% in the third quarter to 15% in the fourth quarter, while adjusted EBITDA margins could approach 69% by year-end. If those projections materialize, he says investors will increasingly focus on the company’s earnings power and cash-flow generation rather than its borrowing costs.

Investment TakeawayThe debate surrounding CoreWeave has largely centered on leverage and the cost of financing its rapid expansion. Freedom Capital Markets argues investors may be asking the wrong question.

Rather than focusing solely on the higher interest expense, the more important issue is whether the company can consistently reprice AI cloud contracts at levels that more than offset those costs.

If improving margins begin to validate that thesis, the financing that initially unsettled the market could become an important part of CoreWeave’s long-term profit story.

CRWV CoreWeave
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways CoreWeave is benefiting from a $104B backlog and rapidly expanding AI infrastructure demand.CoreWeave raised its 2026 revenue outlook as adjusted EBITDA doubled to $1.5B with a 59% margin.Applied Digital faces high debt, customer concentration and execution risks across five major campuses. The AI boom is rapidly transforming the data center industry, creating major opportunities for companies that can provide the computing power, facilities and electricity needed to support AI workloads. Two companies attracting significant investor attention are CoreWeave, Inc. (CRWV - Free Report) and Applied Digital (APLD - Free Report) . There is also an interesting strategic relationship between the two companies. CoreWeave itself is one of Applied Digital's major customers. APLD's infrastructure therefore allows investors to gain exposure to the same AI buildout from a different angle.

Per a report from Fortune Business Insights, the global AI data center market is projected to grow from $21.27 billion in 2026 to $133.51 billion by 2034, representing a CAGR of 25.8%. Although both are benefiting from the same secular trend, their business models are quite different. CoreWeave operates a specialized AI cloud platform, while Applied Digital focuses more heavily on developing and leasing large-scale data center infrastructure. This distinction matters when evaluating their growth potential, risk and valuation.

Let’s take a closer look.

The Case for APLD StockApplied Digital has been steadily evolving from a broader digital-infrastructure company into a more focused data center platform serving HPC, AI and accelerated-compute workloads. The company completed the separation of its cloud services business during fiscal 2026, with Applied Digital retaining approximately 96% of ChronoScale. Applied Digital also continues to have exposure to CoreWeave through its existing leases. It strengthened its CoreWeave leases through a restructured SPV, unconditional guarantees and a $50 million letter of credit.

However, the biggest challenge is the enormous amount of capital required to turn contracted projects into operating assets. Applied Digital had $4.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash against $5 billion of debt as of May 31, 2026. The company recently completed a $2.15 billion senior secured notes offering to fund development at Polaris Forge 2 and later closed another $1.59 billion senior secured notes offering to fund the fourth building at Polaris Forge 1. It also expanded its revolving credit facility to support development.

Debt financing can accelerate growth, but it also increases interest obligations and execution risk. If construction costs rise, projects are delayed, or customer requirements change, the financial burden could grow. GAAP profitability is another concern. Applied Digital reported a fiscal fourth-quarter net loss attributable to common stockholders of $110.6 million and a loss of $249.2 million in fiscal 2026. Consequently, investors should not view adjusted EBITDA growth alone as proof that the company has already reached sustainable profitability.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Customer concentration remains another key risk for Applied Digital, with CoreWeave as the sole tenant across the fully leased 400 MW Polaris Forge 1 and a single crypto customer in its legacy hosting business. Execution risk is also elevated as the company develops five multibillion-dollar campuses simultaneously, making timely construction, power delivery and lease execution critical to converting capacity into stable rental income.

The Case for CRWV StockCoreWeave has emerged as a prominent AI-focused cloud infrastructure provider. Its platform is designed specifically for accelerated computing and AI workloads, giving customers access to large amounts of GPU computing capacity without having to build their own infrastructure. The company's latest results highlight the scale of demand. CoreWeave reported $2.6 billion in second-quarter revenue, while its revenue backlog reached approximately $104 billion as of June 30. It also disclosed more than $25 billion of additional customer commitments added early in the third quarter.

This hefty backlog provides substantial visibility into future revenue and demonstrates that major AI customers are willing to commit to long-term computing capacity. CoreWeave is also expanding beyond its existing customer base. Its relationships include AI labs, hyperscalers and enterprises, while recent customer wins and expansions include companies such as Caterpillar, Bentley Systems, Databricks, Hudson River Trading and Runway ML. Active power reached 1.5 GW, while contracted power rose to 3.7 GW by quarter-end and 4.2 GW afterward, keeping it on track for more than 8 GW of active power by 2030. CRWV also expects more than 1.85 GW of active power by year-end.

CoreWeave is also expanding beyond traditional GPU cloud infrastructure into higher-margin AI services. Its managed inference business grew from $1 million to more than $100 million in booked ARR within a few months, with management targeting at least $250 million by year-end. Storage, CPU, networking and software businesses already generated more than $400 million in ARR, while seven new AI platform capabilities and continued development of its AI-native platform are helping customers move from experimentation to production.

Profitability is beginning to benefit from increasing scale and pricing power. Adjusted EBITDA doubled year over year to $1.5 billion, with a 59% margin, while adjusted operating income increased to $128 million. Recent contracts are carrying contribution margins 5–10 percentage points higher than those signed in recent quarters, supported by strong demand, higher pricing and the value customers place on CRWV's performance and reliability. Management raised its 2026 outlook, now expecting revenue of $12.4–$13.2 billion, adjusted operating income of $960 million–$1.15 billion and year-end annualized revenue of $18.5–$19.5 billion.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

The opportunity, however, comes with a major caveat. CoreWeave is extremely capital-intensive. The company raised its 2026 capital expenditure forecast to $35 billion-$39 billion from $31 billion-$35 billion previously. The pressure is evident in its $567 million adjusted net loss, while interest expense more than doubled to $640 million as debt increased to fund expansion. With more than $32 billion of capital secured, leverage remains a concern, and interest expense is expected to rise to $860 million–$940 million. Supply-chain challenges, intensifying competition and reliance on large customers also pose risks if deployments are delayed or lost.

CRWV & APLD’s Share Performance TrajectoryIn the past month, CRWV has surged 24.4% while APLD is up 9.4%.

Valuation ConsiderationsCRWV trades at a forward 12-month price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 1.93, below APLD’s 8.01.

CRWV or APLD: Which Stock Has More Upside?CRWV at present carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while APLD has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

For aggressive investors seeking the bigger long-term growth opportunity, CoreWeave appears to have the stronger case. Its enormous backlog, rapidly expanding revenue base and direct exposure to AI compute demand give it a powerful growth engine. Second-quarter results suggest that demand remains exceptionally strong, while management is expanding capacity aggressively to capture that opportunity. However, concerns include enormous capital requirements, leverage, customer concentration and the possibility that AI infrastructure supply eventually grows faster than demand. CRWV appears to be treading in the middle of the road, and new investors could be better off if they trade with caution.

Applied Digital faces different risks. Large data center projects can experience construction and power-delivery delays, while reliance on a relatively small number of large customers can create concentration risk. Management has also warned that labor and construction constraints could cause significant delays across the AI infrastructure industry during 2026 and 2027. Hence, investors should avoid this stock for now.

Original source text
CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV) is trending Thursday after a busy stretch that included new partnerships with Hudson River Trading and Rescale.

CoreWeave shares are powering higher. Why are CRWV shares rallying?
The Hudson River Trading PartnershipOn Thursday, Aug. 20, CoreWeave announced a multi-year agreement with Hudson River Trading, one of the world’s leading quantitative trading firms. Under the partnership, HRT will use CoreWeave’s AI cloud platform — including NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and HGX B200 GPU systems with Spectrum-X Ethernet networking — to power the next generation of its AI-driven trading research and model development.

“As we scale our AI and machine learning research, the AI platform we build on matters as much as the models we build,” said Kevin Lee, Head of Research & Development at HRT. “We chose CoreWeave because they understand what it takes to run AI in demanding production environments, and because we’re confident, they’ll scale alongside us as our ambitions do.”

CoreWeave, Rescale Partner on AI WorkloadsOn Tuesday, CoreWeave announced that Rescale, a digital engineering platform, will expand its cloud ecosystem to CoreWeave Cloud to support AI and simulation workloads for customers across aerospace, automotive, energy, life sciences, and manufacturing. Through integration with CoreWeave Kubernetes Service, Rescale customers will gain access to an AI cloud platform optimized for generative AI and high-performance computing workloads, enabling distributed simulations and AI models without managing underlying infrastructure.

BBW Build-A-Bear Workshop
FMP Stock News 92
Original source text
Shares of Build-A-Bear Workshop (BBW.N) plunged 27.3% on Thursday in their biggest daily percentage drop ever after the retailer of customized stuffed animals reduced its revenue outlook ​for the second time this year and fired its chief ​growth officer.

The stock finished at $28.44 and hit its lowest level ⁠in about two years. Including the session move, the stock is down ​54% for the year so far.

On an earnings call following its ​results, Build-A-Bear said it was unable to renew a multimillion-dollar partnership with Walmart (WMT.O), and that other wholesale opportunities are progressing slower than expected.

The company lowered its fiscal 2026 ​revenue outlook to a range of $500 million to $525 million from its ​previous guidance of $530 million to $550 million.

"The updated outlook is below consensus on all line ‌items ⁠and now bakes in weaker back half profitability as we think BBW still faces some incremental tariff cost pressure," D.A. Davidson & Co analysts, who have a "buy" rating on the stock, wrote in a note following ​the results.

Build-A-Bear said ​its fiscal ⁠year outlook reflects $10 million to $11 million of ongoing tariffs and related costs.

The company also terminated the employment of ​Chief Growth Officer David Henderson, without cause, effective ​Wednesday.

The retailer ⁠had already cut its full-year revenue forecast in May, citing softer traffic at its stores. It announced in March that its longtime CEO Sharon Price ⁠John ​would retire in June and be succeeded ​by Chris Hurt, who at the time was the company's chief operations and experience officer.

Breaking through the power wall The most advanced AI chips are so powerful that traditional energy delivery systems can't keep up. These ultra-high-performance chips require massive amounts of electricity and near-instant response times.

"The future of AI depends on delivering thousands of amps to increasingly power-hungry processors with unprecedented speed and precision," Navitas CEO Chris Allexandre said.

Claros stacks multiple power technologies into a single, compact package and places it closer to AI chips. In turn, the power they require needs to travel only millimeters instead of inches.

That might not sound like much of a difference, but it's enough to slash response times and heat production, while boosting efficiency and power density, thereby significantly reducing the costs of operating an AI data center.

Navitas estimates that acquiring Claros will more than double its addressable market to over $8 billion. The deal is projected to close by the end of the year, subject to regulatory approval.

NVTS Navitas Semiconductor
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (NVTS - Free Report) . Shares have added about 24.3% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Navitas Semiconductor due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Navitas Semiconductor Corporation before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

NVTS Q2 Earnings Meet Estimates, Revenues Beat on High-Power GrowthNavitas Semiconductor reported second-quarter 2026 non-GAAP loss of 4 cents per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The figure was narrower than the year-ago quarter’s loss of 5 cents.

Navitas Semiconductor’s second-quarter 2026 revenues of $10.5 million declined 27.3% year over year but beat the consensus estimate by 5.8%. The top line increased 22% sequentially as revenues from high-power markets grew more than 50% year over year. Management also highlighted an expanding backlog and record book-to-bill, reflecting stronger demand across AI data centers and grid and energy infrastructure.

NVTS Builds Momentum in High-Power MarketsHigh-power products accounted for the majority of second-quarter revenues, while mobile and low-end consumer sales declined both sequentially and year over year. Both gallium nitride, or GaN, and silicon carbide, or SiC, contributed to the sequential improvement.

The company expects mobile and low-end consumer revenues to become insignificant by year-end. AI infrastructure, which combines data centers with grid and energy infrastructure, is projected to represent more than one-third of fourth-quarter sales.

NVTS Targets Multiple AI Power InflectionsThe first growth phase is already underway as higher rack power and density requirements drive silicon-to-SiC replacement in AC/DC power supply units. Management expects this trend to accelerate in the second half of 2026 and the first half of 2027.

A second phase is expected around mid-2027 as power shelves and battery backup units move into 800-volt sidecar racks. Native 800-volt power delivery to compute trays should follow, increasing GaN content near GPUs and other processors, while solid-state transformers could expand ultra-high-voltage SiC and GaN opportunities from 2028.

Navitas Improves Mix and Gross MarginNon-GAAP gross margin expanded 50 basis points sequentially and 100 basis points year over year to 39.5%. The improvement reflected a greater contribution from higher-value high-power products and better scale.

Non-GAAP operating expenses were $15.5 million, down from $16.1 million a year earlier. The company recorded a non-GAAP operating loss of $11.4 million compared with a loss of $11.7 million in the prior quarter and $10.6 million in the year-ago period.

NVTS Strengthens Liquidity Ahead of GrowthNavitas ended the first quarter of 2026 with $557 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from $221 million at the end of the first quarter, primarily due to approximately $373 million of capital raised during the period. Navitas remained debt-free.

Inventory increased to $19.5 million from $14.9 million as the company began building TSMC wafer buffers. Prepaid expenses and other current assets also rose by roughly $15 million, reflecting planned wafer purchases to support expected AI data center demand and the transition to U.S.-based GaN manufacturing.

NVTS’ Outlook Calls for Continued Sequential Growth in Q3For the third quarter of 2026, Navitas expects revenues of $13 million to $14 million. The $13.5 million midpoint implies 28% sequential growth and a return to year-over-year expansion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $11.38 million, indicating a 12.5% increase from the year-ago reported quarter.

Non-GAAP gross margin is projected at 38.7% to 40.7%. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected between $15.5 million and $17.5 million as the company increases spending on product development, customer support and supply-chain readiness.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, estimates review have trended upward during the past month.

The consensus estimate has shifted 25% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresAt this time, Navitas Semiconductor has a poor Growth Score of F, however its Momentum Score is doing a lot better with a C. However, the stock was allocated a grade of F on the value side, putting it in the bottom 20% quintile for this investment strategy.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. 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. It comes with little surprise Navitas Semiconductor has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). We expect an above average return from the stock in the next few months.

Kohl's ve druhém čtvrtletí zaostal za odhady tržeb
KSS Kohl's
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
Kohl's (KSS.N) ​on Wednesday missed Wall Street estimates for second-quarter sales as muted spending on women's clothing and skincare products offset ‌gains from the department-store chain's push to revitalize the business.

The company's shares, which had already fallen about 13% so far this year, dipped in volatile morning trading before paring back losses.

Despite growth in categories including home goods and youth apparel, CEO Michael Bender said that "we know there is more work to be done" to ​attract cash-strapped shoppers.

"We are operating in a challenging macroeconomic environment where our customers are experiencing persistent financial pressures from inflation ​in their everyday expenses like gas and food," Bender said in a post-earnings call. "We're bringing value everywhere we ⁠can."

Average transaction values declined slightly in the second quarter as low- and middle-income shoppers seek bargains, the company said.

U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated in August ​and retail sales fell for the first time in nine months in July, underscoring an increasingly "selective" shopping trend among middle- and lower-income households, even ​as wealthier shoppers remain resilient.

Consumer caution around non-essential purchases has hurt retailers from Kohl's to off-price store operators like TJX (TJX.N).

Kohl's named Bender permanent CEO last November to boost the business after years of shrinking profit and loss of ground to Amazon and off-price competitors, including Ross Stores (ROST.O).

The retailer reported quarterly revenue of $3.32 billion, compared with analysts' ​estimate of $3.35 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Its comparable sales fell 0.9% after dropping 4.2% a year ago.

"The fact that comparable sales ​remain in decline – the eighteenth consecutive quarter when they have dipped – does not convince us that Kohl's is a business in full recovery," said Neil Saunders, ‌managing ⁠director of GlobalData, adding that Kohl's is still losing market share across major categories.

Kohl's, however, raised its annual profit forecast after benefiting from $150 million in tariff refunds received during the reported quarter and also said it would resume its roughly $100 million share repurchase program this year.

FOCUS ON BACK-TO-SCHOOL
Kohl's started offering its fall products in July to capitalize on back-to-school shopping, Bender said.

The company said it plans to stick with its strategy ​of bringing seasonal inventory to shelves ​earlier than usual through the ⁠holiday season.

Bender pointed to the under-$25 back-to-school assortment as an example of Kohl's focus on value.

Still, while Kohl's has improved its value appeal ahead of the school year, the department store chain has not yet ​established itself as a top-of-mind destination for parents, said Saunders of GlobalData.

Improvement in categories such as footwear ​and home goods ⁠is "still not delivering positive trends in the business overall," Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach said in a research note.

The company's quarterly gross margin grew 305 basis points from last year to 43%, helped by tariff refunds.

Kohl's has also been targeting value-conscious shoppers by investing in its proprietary brands and ⁠adding more ​coupon-eligible labels, among other measures.

It expects fiscal-year 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.80 to $2.40 per share, above ​its prior forecast of $1.00 to $1.60 per share.

The company expects growth in annual net sales to be flat to a 1.5% fall, compared with its previous range of flat or a 2% ​decline.

Kohl's překonal EPS, tržby mírně zaostaly
KSS Kohl's
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Kohl's (KSS - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.28 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.55 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.56 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +132.73%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this department store operator would post a loss of $0.18 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.13, delivering a surprise of +27.78%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Kohl's, which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Regional Department Stores industry, posted revenues of $3.52 billion for the quarter ended July 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.02%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3.55 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Kohl's shares have lost about 13.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.2%.

What's Next for Kohl's?While Kohl's has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Kohl's was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.05 on $3.54 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.38 on $15.38 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Retail - Regional Department Stores is currently in the top 14% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the same industry, Macy's (M - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026. The results are expected to be released on September 10.

This department store operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.37 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -9.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Macy's' revenues are expected to be $4.82 billion, up 0.2% from the year-ago quarter.

KSS Kohl's
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Kohl's posted a blowout earnings beat and raised its full-year outlook, yet shares are cratering while rivals Ross and TJX barely flinch. The reason buried inside the margin numbers may explain why investors are refusing to celebrate.

Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS | KSS Price Prediction) is delivering a strong-on-paper quarter Wednesday. Yet, investors are treating the report as a warning that the profit beat leans heavily on a one-time tariff refund rather than a durable rebound in demand.

The State Street SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEARCA:XRT) is up 0.1% to $87.99, holding steady as the sector digests a wave of tariff-refund quarters. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is down 0.1% to $764.94, isolating today’s action to a single-name story.

Kohl’s stock is down 6% to $16.65 in early Wednesday trading, extending a slide that had left shares down 12% year to date through Tuesday’s close. Meanwhile, Ross Stores (NASDAQ:ROST) stock is up 0.1% to $241.50 after its own tariff-boosted quarter last week. TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX) stock is down 0.5% to $138.80, while Macy’s (NYSE:M) stock is flat at $22.60.

Tariff Refund Powered the Margin Beat Kohl’s reported adjusted diluted EPS of $1.28 against a $0.57 consensus, on revenue of $3.52 billion that ran ahead of the $3.4 billion expected. The company’s gross margin expanded 305 basis points to 43%, and operating income rose to $261 million. The heart of the story sits inside those margin numbers. Kohl’s disclosed $150 million of tariff refunds in the quarter, of which $100 million flowed through gross margin. Strip that benefit out, and much of the margin expansion goes with it. Kohl’s net sales decreased 0.9% to $3.3 billion, with comparable sales also down 0.9%. CEO Michael Bender stated, “Our second quarter results reflect the ongoing progress against our initiatives, leading to another improvement in our comparable sales trend.” The reaction in Kohl’s stock suggests investors want to see that trend hit positive before crediting the company for a turnaround.

Peer Comps Show What Kohl’s Is Missing Ross Stores reported comparable store sales up 10%, its second consecutive quarter of double-digit comp growth, on revenue of $6.26 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.66 versus a $1.94 consensus. The chain also received $253 million in tariff refunds worth $0.60 per share. However, Ross Stores’ operating margin expanded 205 basis points even excluding that benefit.

TJX posted a 4% consolidated comp increase, led by HomeGoods and TJX International each up 7% and TJX Canada up 6%. The company raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $5.15 to $5.20 and lifted its long-term global store target to 7,500 stores. Its $331 million of tariff refunds is broken out separately from adjusted results.

Macy’s most recent quarter delivered 3% comparable sales growth across all three nameplates, with Bloomingdale’s up 10.2%. Every peer in this cohort produced organic comp growth. Kohl’s did not.

Raised Outlook and Buyback Restart Kohl’s raised its full-year 2026 guidance, now calling for net sales and comparable sales down 1.5% to flat, adjusted operating margin of 3.5% to 4%, and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.80 to $2.40. Capital expenditures are pegged at $350 million to $400 million.

The retailer is restarting share repurchases of up to $100 million in 2026 under an existing $3 billion authorization, and declared a $0.125 quarterly dividend on August 18, payable September 23 to shareholders of record September 9. Kohl’s cash and equivalents climbed to $821 million against $174 million a year earlier.

The balance sheet is real and improving. The demand picture still looks fragile. Investors appear to be pricing the second half of that story more heavily than the first.

What to Watch Kohl’s is hosting its Q2 2026 earnings conference call starting at 9:00 a.m. ET today, and management commentary on traffic, promotional cadence, and future tariff-refund timing could shift sentiment before the close. The retail ETF’s near-flat action argues that today’s decline is a verdict on Kohl’s execution rather than a sector event.

Traders may want to keep an eye on whether Kohl’s guide can hold without repeat refund tailwinds through the back half. Given the reliance on one-time items and continued negative comps, moderate position sizing looks appropriate for their exposure until organic comp growth appears.

Kohl's zvýšil výhled zisku na akcii, srovnatelné tržby dál klesají
KSS Kohl's
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways Kohl's trades below several benchmarks as management raised adjusted EPS guidance to $1.80-$2.40. Comparable sales fell 1.1% in Q1 and 0.9% in Q2, with full-year guidance from flat to down 1.5%. Cash rose to $821M as debt fell, but current-year earnings estimates dropped 7.6% over four weeks. Kohl's Corporation (KSS - Free Report) offers investors a clear trade-off. Valuation remains inexpensive against several benchmarks, while management has raised its earnings outlook and strengthened liquidity.

Comparable sales remain negative and recent earnings-estimate revisions have moved lower, leaving the second half as a key test for the recovery.

KSS Looks Cheap Against Several BenchmarksKSS has a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 12.85, below 13.74 for its Zacks sub-industry, 22.81 for the broader Zacks sector and 20.37 for the S&P 500. The discount gives the stock a clear relative-value argument.

Kohl's also carries a current-fiscal-year P/E of 8.97, a PEG ratio of 0.59 and a price-to-book ratio of 0.49. Still, the forward multiple sits above the stock's five-year median of 10.1, tempering the historical value case.

Kohl's Earnings Outlook Has Improved SharplyManagement lifted adjusted operating-margin guidance to 3.5%-4% from 2.8%-3.4% and raised adjusted earnings guidance to $1.80-$2.40 per share from $1.00-$1.60. The updated outlook includes the benefit of tariff refunds received in the second quarter.

Cost discipline can add leverage if sales stabilize. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 1.3% in the first six months, interest expense fell to $126 million from $154 million and quarter-end inventory was down 3% year over year.

KSS Sales Trends Still Argue for CautionNet sales declined 1.2% in the first six months, while comparable sales fell 1.1% in the first quarter and 0.9% in the second. Full-year guidance still calls for net sales and comparable sales to range from flat to down 1.5%.

Macy's, Inc. (M - Free Report) offers a relevant department-store comparison. Macy's comparable sales increased 3% in its first quarter of 2026, and the company raised full-year comparable-sales guidance to 0.5%-1.2%.

Target Corporation (TGT - Free Report) provides a broader retail benchmark. Target's second-quarter comparable sales rose 3.8%, driven by a 3.6% increase in traffic, and it now expects full-year net sales growth around 5%.

Kohl's Balance Sheet Adds Strategic FlexibilityKohl's ended the second quarter with $821 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from $174 million a year earlier. Long-term debt fell to $1.33 billion from $1.52 billion, and revolver borrowings were zero at quarter-end.

Kohl's Corporation Total Long Term Debt (Quarterly)Kohl's plans $350-$400 million of capital expenditures, is maintaining an annual cash dividend of 50 cents per share and is restarting share repurchases of up to $100 million in fiscal 2026. It also repurchased $113 million of debt in the first six months at a $15 million discount.

KSS Estimate Revisions Complicate the Bull CaseProjected earnings growth for the current fiscal year is 23.5%, supporting the earnings-recovery argument. The direction of recent estimate changes is less favorable.

The current-fiscal-year earnings estimate declined 8.5% over the past week and 7.6% over the past four weeks. That contrast keeps the outlook mixed even after management raised its own guidance.

KSS Signals Favor Value Despite Mixed MomentumThe bottom line is that KSS has enough support to keep the buy case alive, but the sales recovery still requires confirmation. Better earnings guidance and liquidity support the case, while negative comparable sales and recent estimate cuts limit conviction.

KSS currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), along with a VGM Score of A, Value Score of A, Growth Score of B and Momentum Score of C. The Rank and A/B Style Scores are favorable signals, especially for value and growth, while the C Momentum Score is less supportive. The combination argues for measured optimism rather than treating the recovery as fully established. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

BigBear.ai zvýšila výnosy o 13 %, získala více než 20 kontraktů
BBAI BigBear.ai Holdings
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways BigBear.ai's Q2 revenue rose 13% to $36.7 million, driven by stronger generative AI performance.BigBear.ai secured 20 contracts and grew backlog to $270 million, up about $22 million since year-end.CargoSeer, Ask Sage and ConductorOS expand BigBear.ai's AI reach across trade, security and defense. BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (BBAI - Free Report) is gaining traction as it expands the deployment of its applied AI solutions across defense, security, trade and travel. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue increased 13% year over year to $36.7 million, driven by stronger performance from its generative AI platforms and products. Gross margin soared to 32.8%, up 781 basis points from the prior-year quarter.

New customer wins and product deployments are providing additional avenues for growth. BigBear.ai secured more than 20 contracts during the quarter, with individual values of up to $5 million, while backlog reached $270 million, up about $22 million from the start of the year. The company also highlighted a five-year CargoSeer deployment agreement in El Salvador following a successful 12-month pilot, potentially providing a template for expansion into other customs markets.

The company is also broadening its AI offerings beyond connected environments. Ask Sage now supports local and air-gapped deployments, allowing customers in highly secure settings to use generative AI without relying on external networks. Meanwhile, ConductorOS demonstrated its ability to coordinate multi-vendor drone systems, addressing the growing need for interoperability across autonomous platforms.

Still, broader growth will depend on converting these deployments and contract wins into sustained revenue. Adjusted EBITDA remained negative at $11.6 million as the company increased spending on sales, go-to-market initiatives and R&D. With $410 million in cash and investments, BigBear.ai has resources to pursue additional capabilities and acquisitions, but execution will remain key to widening its growth base.

Competitors Expand Their AI and Defense CapabilitiesBigBear.ai competes with technology providers that combine AI, data analytics and defense-focused solutions. Palantir Technologies (PLTR - Free Report) is a key competitor, with its platforms helping government and commercial customers integrate data, AI and decision-making capabilities. Its growing focus on deploying AI directly into operational environments overlaps with BigBear.ai’s strategy of providing mission-ready solutions.

C3.ai (AI - Free Report) is another relevant competitor, offering enterprise AI applications designed to address operational and analytics needs across industries. Its AI capabilities span areas such as defense, manufacturing and supply-chain management, creating some overlap with BigBear.ai’s efforts to expand applied AI beyond its traditional customer base.

BigBear.ai’s differentiation centers on specialized applications for national security and trade and travel, including CargoSeer, Ask Sage and ConductorOS. The company’s recent deployments demonstrate an emphasis on solving specific mission-critical problems, while competitors pursue broader AI platforms and enterprise applications.

BBAI’s Price Performance, Valuation & EPS Estimate TrendShares of BBAI have plunged 22.2% over the past six months, underperforming the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry, as shown below.

CompaniesSTAVANGER, Norway, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The disruption to energy flows in the Strait of Hormuz is making it more ​attractive for Equinor (EQNR.OL), opens new tab to develop a long-stalled liquefied natural gas export ‌plant in Tanzania, the Norwegian company said on Tuesday.

The U.S.-Israeli war with Iran is reshaping the global energy industry, stripping Qatar and other Gulf producers of their reputation as some ​of the world's most reliable suppliers as Tehran struck export plants and ​blocked shipments.

Discovered more than a decade ago, the massive Tanzania gas ⁠deposit is expected to cost about $42 billion to develop, the East African nation ​has estimated, and would provide an alternative source of supply for Asian customers.

YEARS ​OF NEGOTIATIONSBut Equinor's talks with Tanzania over detailed investment terms and conditions have been ongoing for years, and hopes for a breakthrough have been dashed on several occasions.

"You don't want ​to wait too long to put new LNG volumes on the market, so ​maybe now is a good time to get on with it," Equinor's head of international ‌operations, ⁠Philippe Mathieu, told reporters at an energy conference in Norway on Tuesday.

Key Takeaways Equinor and partners will explore underexplored NCS regions for larger oil and gas discoveries.The group plans about five high-impact wells yearly, sharing an estimated $750 million annual cost.Equinor sees bigger finds as key to sustaining Norway's oil and gas industry beyond 2035. Equinor ASA (EQNR - Free Report) announced a collaboration with Aker BP and Vaar Energi to boost exploration activities in the Norwegian Continental Shelf (“NCS”). While Norway remains one of the largest oil and gas producers in Europe, its oil production is expected to decline sharply after 2030 unless new hydrocarbon finds are discovered, according to a report by the Norwegian Offshore Directorate (“NOD”). Equinor, Aker BP and Vaar Energi will work together to drill new wells across underexplored regions of the NCS. The companies aim to find large oil and gas discoveries on the Shelf after years of focusing on smaller discoveries close to existing fields.

Partnership to Share Exploration Costs and RisksThe less-explored regions are likely to have higher exploration risk and are typically more expensive to drill than mature regions. However, successful exploration may lead to large oil and gas discoveries. The three companies plan to combine their technical expertise, geological data, exploration technology and drilling capabilities to proceed with select exploration opportunities that have the potential to yield high returns. Equinor believes that the three companies can share the cost and risk of exploring underexplored regions by working together.

Equinor Shifts Focus Beyond Near-Field ExplorationAn Equinor spokesperson mentioned that while near-field exploration is important, it is not enough for long-term value creation. Near-field exploration has a lower risk profile as it can be tied back to existing infrastructure to facilitate higher production and resource recovery. However, Equinor believes that the company should focus on bigger hydrocarbon finds to support Norway’s oil and gas industry beyond 2035.

The three companies plan to evaluate around 20 to 25 exploration projects over the next four to five years. Notably, the companies aim to drill about five high-impact exploration wells each year to pursue bigger oil and gas finds. The combined drilling cost for this assignment is estimated at $750 million annually and will be shared equally among the three companies. Additionally, the Equinor spokesperson reportedly mentioned that the initial drilling activity would focus on Haltenbanken in the Norwegian Sea. The companies may later expand exploratory drilling to other parts of the NCS.

Exploration Push Could Strengthen EQNR’s Resource BaseEquinor’s exploration efforts are mainly focused on sustaining long-term production. By targeting underexplored regions, which involve higher costs and greater drilling risk, the company leans into the potential for successful high-impact discoveries, which could provide significant growth opportunities and support the Norwegian oil and gas industry. Furthermore, it could strengthen EQNR’s asset base and offset production decline from mature fields.

Equinor, Aker BP Make New Gas DiscoveryOn a different note, the Norwegian integrated energy company, along with Aker BP, has recently made a natural gas and condensate discovery in the Linga prospect, according to an announcement by the NOD. The gas discovery was made approximately 10 miles northwest of the Balder field in the North Sea.  The NOD also stated that preliminary estimates suggest that the recoverable resources at the discovery could be between 0.1 and 2.1 million standard cubic meters of oil equivalent. 

EQNR’s Zacks Rank & Key PicksEQNR currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Some better-ranked stocks from the energy sector are Par Pacific Holdings (PARR - Free Report) , Valero Energy (VLO - Free Report) and Galp Energia SGPS SA (GLPEY - Free Report) . While Par Pacific and Valero sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) each, Galp Energia carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks Rank #1 stocks here.

Par Pacific Holdings operates an integrated downstream energy business across the United States, with fuel retail operations in Hawaii, Washington and Idaho, refining operations in Hawaii, Wyoming, Washington and Montana, and a supporting logistics network. Its refineries have a combined crude oil throughput capacity of 219,000 barrels per day and produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, marine fuels, asphalt and other petroleum products.

Valero Energy is a leading refining player with a robust network of 14 refineries and a combined high-complexity throughput capacity of 3 million barrels per day, which distinguishes it from other independent refiners. Valero’s refineries have a combined Nelson Complexity Index of 11.5, which implies that they can process a wide variety of feedstocks, convert them into higher-value products and shift product yields according to market conditions.

Galp Energia is a Portuguese energy company engaged in exploration and production activities. The company’s oil exploration efforts have yielded positive results, particularly with the Mopane discovery in the Orange Basin, offshore Namibia. This discovery allows Galp to diversify its global presence with the potential to become a significant oil producer in the region.

FIG (Figma)

Buy FIG. It’s breaking out after a double-bottom at ~$16.80, reclaiming the 50-day moving average, and posting strong fundamentals: Q2 revenue +48% to $370M, customer count up to 15,964, and 80% of paid customers using AI credits weekly. The market is also starting to reward software strength again (Salesforce’s surge), and FIG’s next resistance is ~$40.

Key Risk: AI fears return and investors decide Figma’s growth is “already priced,” causing the stock to fall back below the ~$27.80 neckline.

Software rally basket (CRM/ADBE/PLTR)

Buy the group: add to Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) exposure alongside FIG. The article shows FIG’s rebound is tracking the broader top-software earnings/guidance momentum, and these names are benefiting from the same “AI is additive, not disruptive” narrative.

Key Risk: A broad software de-rating—earnings/guidance disappoint across the group—kills the whole rally at once.

Figma stock continued its recovery this week, reaching its highest level since March 5 this year. FIG jumped to $30.62, up by 81% from its lowest level this year, mirroring the performance of other top software companies like Salesforce, Adobe, and Palantir. 

Figma, a top player in the software industry, has come under pressure since going public last year. It dropped from a record high of $142.7 to a low of $16.80. This retreat happened as investors dumped software companies amid fears that their businesses will be disrupted by artificial intelligence tools.

Recently, however, Figma stock has rebounded as we predicted. This rebound continued on Thursday after Salesforce, a top software company, soared after its strong earnings and guidance. 

Figma’s fundamentals showed that its business was doing well and was still adding customers despite the AI fears. The most recent results showed that Figma’s revenue jumped by 48% in the second quarter to $370 million, higher than what analysts were expecting. It was also higher than what the management guided during its first quarter results. 

The company’s gross profits also jumped during the quarter. Most importantly, Figma’s number of customers continued growing and now has 15,964 customers paying $10,000 a year. 

Figma has continued to boost its business using AI tools, with 80% of paid customers using its AI credits weekly.

Analysts are optimistic that Figma’s business will continue to do well in the coming years as demand for its products rises. The average estimate is that its revenue will come in at $375 million, up by 37% from a year earlier. 

Its fourth quarter revenue is expected to grow by 27% to $388 million, bringing the annual figure to over $1.47 billion. Since going public, Figma has constantlly done better than estimates, meaning that its results will be much higher.

Analysts have started to take note, with Bank of America’s Tal Liani hiking his target from $30 to $33. He pointed out that the company may start to benefit from AI tokens and the stickiness of its platform. Citigroup has a buy rating with a target of $37, while Wells Fargo sees it rising to $36.

The daily chart shows that the FIG stock topped at $142 in August last year and then plunged to a low of $16.80. This sell-off happened amid the rising SaaSPocalypse fears.

The stock formed a large double-bottom pattern at $16.80 and a neckline at $27.80, its highest level on June 1 this year. A double-bottom is one of the most common bullish reversal signs in technical analysis.

The stock has moved above the 50-day moving average, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has jumoped to 67. It is hovering near its overbought level of 70.

Therefore, the stock will likely continue rising as bulls target the next key resistance level of $40, its highest point in December last year.

Krypto akcie rostou rychleji než Bitcoin
BMNR Bitmine Immersion Technologies
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
Bitcoin is barely budging, yet certain mining and treasury stocks are surging several times faster than the coin itself. The reason comes down to a leverage mechanic baked into how these companies make money.

This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

Crypto-linked equities are outrunning the coins in Tuesday morning trade. The CoinShares Bitcoin Mining and Digital Power ETF (NASDAQ:WGMI) is up 4% to $46.55, while the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT) is up 0.6% to $44.92. Miners and treasury names are repricing to a firmer tape while the coins barely move.

CleanSpark (NASDAQ:CLSK | CLSK Price Prediction) stock is up 7% to $12.72, and BitMine Immersion Technologies (NYSE:BMNR) stock is up 4% to $25.21, both extending a bounce in crypto-adjacent equities. Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) trades at $79,377.30, up 0.4% over the past 24 hours; Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) sits at $2,475.16, down 0.5% over the same window.

Crypto equities carry embedded leverage to the underlying tape. When Bitcoin steadies after a sharp run higher, mining and treasury names reprice faster than the coins because their revenue lines, hashrate economics, and net-asset values scale on top of price. That mechanism is driving CleanSpark and BitMine Immersion Technologies shares today.

Miner Rebound After a Rough Month for CleanSpark CleanSpark stock is snapping back after a bruising stretch. Shares were up 18% year to date through Monday’s close, but the past month shows a rougher story, with the stock lower on softer crypto prices and miner margin pressure. The move reads as a bounce in a name that had been sold hard.

CleanSpark’s most recent earnings report, filed August 6, showed revenue of $138.01 million, missing the $141.81 million consensus, with a GAAP loss of $0.89 per share driven by a $116.25 million loss on the fair value of Bitcoin. CEO Matt Schultz framed the quarter around CleanSpark’s pivot toward diversified digital infrastructure, anchored by a 20-year, $6.6 billion triple-net lease at the company’s Sandersville site with a high investment-grade tenant.

That lease reframes CleanSpark stock as a hybrid miner and data-center play with exposure to high-performance computing and AI workloads. CleanSpark controls more than 1.8 GW of power, land, and data centers across the U.S., and management has stated the equity portion of Sandersville is fully funded with long-lead items ordered. This gives the company a second earnings stream when mining economics compress.

BitMine Closes on Its 5% Ether Target BitMine stock is climbing despite Ethereum trading lower on the day. Shares were down 11% year to date through Monday’s close, but a recent treasury update is putting a firm bid under the name. On August 24, BitMine announced its ether holdings had reached 5.85 million tokens, with total crypto and cash holdings of $14.9 billion.

Chairman Tom Lee told the Bankless podcast that the company could hit its 5% of all ether target before year end. “It’s about $350 million worth of ETH that we need to acquire to reach 5%… we could reach it by the end of the year,” Lee stated. BitMine has purchased ether every week since its first buy on June 30, 2025, funded the position with common stock rather than loans, and staked most of the balance, generating roughly $330 million a year in yield.

BitMine plans to launch its Made-in-America Validator Network, or MAVAN, staking infrastructure in Q1 2026, with three institutional staking providers running a live pilot. That staking cash flow, combined with an equity-funded treasury build, gives the company a different risk profile than levered peers when crypto prices swing.

Treasury and Exchange Peers Get the Read-Across Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) offers the Bitcoin-side comparable as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with 846,000 Bitcoin on its balance sheet as of the Q2 2026 report and an $8.32 billion unrealized digital-asset loss in the quarter. SharpLink (NASDAQ:SBET) holds the next-largest listed ether treasury at 888,938 tokens.

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) provides the exchange read-across when crypto equities move as a group. The exchange reached an all-time-high 10.3% crypto trading volume market share in Q2 2026, an operating milestone that matters when the coin tape firms and derivatives and prediction-market flows return. The whole complex tends to move together on session-level rotations.

The near-term test is whether crypto equities can hold their premium over the coins if Bitcoin drifts. Miner earnings remain sensitive to Bitcoin price marks on treasury holdings, and ether treasury names carry the same math on ETH. A firmer coin tape would validate today’s move, while a softer one would test how much of the rally is durable.

Traders can watch for BitMine’s next weekly ether treasury update, along with any follow-through in the miner basket into the afternoon. Investors should keep their position sizes modest given how quickly these names swing on the underlying coins (we wrote a free playbook on speculating with just 5% of a portfolio, here). Bear in mind, volatility cuts both ways when the equities reprice faster than what they own.

IREN Stock Tumbles as Massive Write-Down Deepens Fiscal 2026 Loss Summary

IREN’s AI Cloud revenue surged nearly sevenfold in fiscal 2026, but a $638.8 million impairment pushed the company to a $702.6 million loss

IREN Limited IREN shares fell nearly 7% on early Friday after the company reported a $638.8 million impairment tied largely to older mining equipment.

The charge pushed IREN to a fiscal 2026 net loss of $702.6 million, compared with an $86.9 million profit a year earlier. Total revenue still increased 41.1% to $707 million, while AI Cloud revenue climbed to $128.8 million from $16.4 million.

The shift toward AI infrastructure is accelerating, but the transition is carrying substantial costs. Bitcoin-mining revenue rose 19.3% to $578.2 million for the year, while adjusted EBITDA declined 8.9% to $245.7 million.

IREN also reported $7.62 billion in cash, restricted cash and equivalents at fiscal year-end. Management said it has secured contracts targeting $4 billion of annualized revenue for capacity by year-end, while noting that such figures are not equivalent to recognized GAAP revenue.

IREN's AI expansion offers a growth path, but investors may focus on execution, funding needs and the conversion of contracted revenue into reported sales.

IREN (sell/short)

Sell/short IREN. The AI milestone is real, but the stock is being driven by fundamentals: impairments jumped to ~$450M in the quarter, cash burn rose to ~$303M while spending ~$2.1B, and long-term debt surged to ~$7.4B. That mix usually forces more borrowing and dilution even if demand is strong. Technicals confirm pressure: below the 50-day EMA, RSI rolling over, and a likely move toward ~$29 after the gap fill.

Key Risk: AI revenue growth accelerates fast enough to stop impairments/cash burn and the company funds expansion without further debt or dilution.

Neocloud debt risk (sell)

Sell/short the neocloud “funding treadmill” exposure via IREN’s credit risk: buy protection on IREN (CDS if available) or avoid/short high-yield lenders’ exposure to the sector. The second-order issue is not just that IREN is burning cash—it’s that heavy borrowing plus impairments can trigger tighter financing terms across the group, raising the cost of capital and forcing secondary offerings at worse prices.

Key Risk: Capital markets stay open on easy terms and IREN’s financing costs don’t rise, preventing a sector-wide credit squeeze.

IREN stock retreated by over 6% in the premarket session as investors reacted to its financial results. It slipped to $38, down sharply from the year-to-date high of $70.60. This retreat happened even after the company reached a major milestone, with its AI revenue surpassing its Bitcoin mining operations.

IREN, formerly known as Iris Energy, published an encouraging report, which showed that its AI revenue surpassed its Bitcoin mining one in the last quarter. Its AI cloud solution rose from $33 million last year to over $70.5 million last quarter. For the first six months, revenue rose to over $128.8 million.

IREN’s Bitcoin mining revenue dropped to $66 million, down from $111 million in the same period last year. This revenue slipped as Bitcoin price dropped and as the company continued its pivot towards the AI data center industry. In total, IREN’s revenue fell to $137 million from $144 million in the same period last year. The CEO said:

“This year, that founding thesis became tangible. Exponential AI consumption growth has fueled demand for compute capacity well beyond the available supply of infrastructure. IREN was built for this moment.”

IREN’s stock dropped for several reasons. First, the company’s impairments jumped sharply in the last quarter, losing over $450 million, up sharply from the previous $140 million. As a result, its total loss jumped to over $684 million in the quarter. It lost $247 million in the same period last year, and the loss trajectory continued to soar.

Second, the company continued its cash burn during the quarter as its data center spending rose. Its cash burn, which is defined as operating cash flow minus expenditures, rose to $303 million. This happened as it spent over $2.1 billion in the quarter. 

Additionally, the company continued to borrow heavily, with its long-term debt rising to over $7.4 billion during the quarter from $962 million in the same period last year. As we have seen with similar neocloud companies, this borrowing will likely continue in the foreseeable future as it continues to fund its growth. 

The need for cash means that the company will need to raise money to fund its plants. This will see its debt continue to grow and possibly result in shareholder dilution. 

Still, on the positive side, the company continues to see more demand for its services, with the 2027 capacity being nearly sold out. It has more room to grow as demand for compute continues rising. 

IREN stock chart | Source: TradingView

The daily chart shows that IREN has come under pressure, moving from a high of $49.22 on August 13 to the current $38.17. It has now filled the gap that was formed on August 11. 

The stock remains below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has pointed downwards. Therefore, the most likely forecast is where it remains under pressure, potentially to $29. 

In the long-term, however, there is a likelihood that the stock will bounce back, potentially to over $90 as Cantor Fitzgerald and BTIG predict.

Contracted AI revenue is giving the expansion a foundation. Summary

$4B AI ARR contracted

IREN Ltd. (IREN, Financials) is preparing to spend at a scale that shows just how dramatically its business is changing.

The company is targeting between $25 billion and $30 billion of capital spending in fiscal 2027 as it rapidly shifts its focus toward AI cloud infrastructure. IREN already has about $4 billion of AI-related annual recurring revenue under contract.

The company is simultaneously decommissioning bitcoin mining equipment as resources move toward larger cloud deployments. Funding that expansion will be the key challenge.

IREN said its financing plan includes roughly $14 billion in cash, existing GPU financing and customer prepayments. It is also targeting another $8 billion of financing tied to GPUs and data centers.

That leaves investors balancing two very different numbers.

The $4 billion of contracted recurring revenue provides evidence that demand is real. But spending as much as $30 billion means execution and financing risks are also rising quickly.

IREN is effectively making one of the biggest transitions in AI infrastructure, moving from bitcoin mining toward becoming a major supplier of computing capacity.

Whether that bet pays off will increasingly depend on how efficiently the company can turn enormous capital spending into recurring AI revenue.

IREN uvádí, že AI cloud kapacita pro FY26 je téměř vyprodaná

Key Takeaways IREN says that FY26 AI cloud capacity is largely sold out, making delivery and FY27 contracting the focus.IREN says that three-year pricing has risen about 125% since November, with recent deals above $20M per MW.IREN targets about 300 MW delivered in FY26 as GPU deployment, not customer demand, remains the bottleneck. IREN Limited (IREN - Free Report) used its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call to put focus on execution across its expanding AI cloud pipeline. Management said that fiscal 2026 capacity is largely sold out, putting delivery, financing and fiscal 2027 contracting at the center of the outlook.

IREN reported a loss of 41 cents per share, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a 50-cent loss. Revenues of $137.2 million surpassed the consensus estimate of $120.9 million.

IREN Sets $4B ARR MarkerCo-founder and co-CEO Daniel Roberts said that IREN has more than $4 billion in annual recurring revenues contracted for fiscal 2026 capacity, with $1 billion operating after Microsoft accepted Horizon 1.

Roberts added that late-stage discussions cover a significant portion of fiscal 2027 capacity, while 2028 talks are underway. Management is prioritizing a diversified customer base rather than dependence on one large counterparty.

CFO Anthony Lewis said that IREN exited the fiscal fourth quarter with $0.5 billion in ARR and expects more than $4 billion by the end of the December quarter. Much of the related revenues should appear in the March quarter.

IREN Sees Pricing Move HigherRoberts said that three-year contract pricing has risen about 125% since November, while five-year pricing is up about 70%. Recent three-year agreements exceed $20 million per megawatt of IT load, with active discussions around $25 million.

Chief commercial officer Kent Draper said that current customer talks show consistent pricing and strong competition for near-term megawatts. IREN weighs term, prepayments, customer quality and expansion potential rather than one pricing metric.

Draper said that Mirantis broadens the addressable market through orchestration, enterprise support and managed services. That gives IREN more ways to serve smaller AI developers and enterprises beyond bare-metal compute.

IREN Pushes Horizon Delivery Into DecemberRoberts said that Horizon 1, the first of four 50-megawatt liquid-cooled deployments at Childress, was delivered to Microsoft. Horizons 2 through 4 are targeted for the December quarter.

Management is targeting 300 megawatts of IT load delivered in fiscal 2026 and another 0.5 gigawatt in 2027. Construction is advancing across Childress, Sweetwater and international sites.

Roberts said that standardized designs should carry across future facilities and successive GPU generations. IREN also sees room to add compute within existing power envelopes through optimization and liquid-cooling upgrades.

IREN Plans Major FY27 BuildLewis said that fiscal 2027 capital expenditure is expected to be $25-$30 billion. The plan covers contracted 2026 deployments, air-cooled capacity for calendar 2027 and spending on later liquid-cooled projects.

He added that IREN starts with approximately $14 billion of cash, committed GPU financing and customer prepayments. Management is targeting another roughly $8 billion of GPU financing and prepayments.

Roberts said that the recent customer prepayments have funded 45-55% of GPU capital costs, while IREN raised $6.5 billion of GPU financing in three months. Its data center portfolio remains unencumbered.

IREN Q&A Tests Funding & Contract FlexibilityA Goldman Sachs analyst pressed management on fiscal 2027 CapEx. Lewis clarified that spending extends beyond capacity delivered during the year because data center investment precedes commissioning and some GPU costs fall into the following capital plan.

A Cantor Fitzgerald analyst asked whether roughly $25 million-per-megawatt pricing was exceptional. Draper answered that it was consistent with live discussions, while Roberts stressed that the referenced contracts run three to five years rather than spot terms.

A BTIG analyst focused on contract duration and data center financing. Roberts said that longer-term talks are emerging, but management wants a portfolio balancing investment-grade anchors with higher-priced AI developers and prepayments.

IREN Keeps Execution at the CenterRoberts framed the next phase around delivering capacity, expanding customer relationships and maintaining funding discipline. Management repeatedly identified bringing GPUs online, rather than finding customers, as the key operating bottleneck.

Lewis also said that spending will rise ahead of revenues, including a sequential increase of $40-$50 million in fiscal first-quarter cash SG&A as IREN invests across sales, R&D, development and operations.

IREN's Zacks Signals Remain MixedIREN currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Its Growth Score of B and Momentum Score of A are favorable, while the Value Score of D is weaker and the combined VGM Score of C sits outside the preferred A or B range. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Style Scores complement the Zacks Rank, with stronger grades generally indicating better expected performance. The Zacks framework notes that Rank #3 stocks can be held while the same grade hierarchy applies to Style Scores. The Zacks Rank can change as earnings estimates are revised after the reported results.

SanDisk roste po varování Nvidie před nedostatkem pamětí
SNDK Sandisk
FMP Stock News 78

SNDK (SanDisk)

Buy SNDK. Nvidia’s margin pressure from memory shortages is a direct read-through: tight NAND supply is likely to persist, supporting NAND pricing and SanDisk revenue/margins. Add the structural angle: HBF for AI can be capacity-hungry, and SanDisk’s long-term customer contracts (floor pricing) reduce earnings volatility versus pure commodity peers.

Key Risk: Memory prices fall fast because new supply ramps sooner than AI demand, crushing NAND pricing and margins.

MU (Micron)

Buy MU as the higher-beta beneficiary of the same shortage narrative. If Nvidia’s warning extends the tight memory cycle, both NAND/DRAM pricing power improves; MU should capture upside from AI memory demand while benefiting from industry-wide pricing strength.

Key Risk: AI memory demand cools or customers delay purchases, so pricing power fades even if supply is tight.

SanDisk stock NASDAQ:SNDK jumped nearly 5% in Thursday premarket trading after Nvidia’s earnings delivered an unexpected positive signal for memory suppliers.

SNDK closed Wednesday at $1,499.37, up 1.3%, then rose 3.7% after hours before extending gains.

Nvidia said memory shortages are limiting how quickly it can satisfy demand and pressuring gross margins.

That is the fundamental logic behind Thursday’s sharp rebound.

Nvidia expects demand to keep accelerating, but finance chief Colette Kress warned that soaring memory prices and higher component costs will pressure margins.

The chip giant expects adjusted gross margin to fall from about 75% in fiscal Q2 to 74% in Q3, then bottom around 71%-72% in Q4.

Investing.com analyst Thomas Monteiro told MarketWatch that memory inflation is “mostly cyclical,” but added that such cycles have a “habit of lasting longer than expected.”

With few major memory producers controlling supply, manufacturers retain substantial pricing power.

That is the direct SanDisk read-through. Stronger NAND pricing can support revenue and margins even as those costs squeeze customers buying memory-intensive AI systems.

Thursday’s move therefore reflects more than Nvidia sympathy. Investors are treating Nvidia’s warning as evidence that tight industry conditions may persist longer than assumed.

Bernstein analyst Mark Newman recently called SanDisk’s High Bandwidth Flash technology a “game changer for AI and the memory industry” and maintained an Outperform rating with a $3,000 target.

Newman argues HBF could require three to four times more factory space per exabyte than conventional NAND, potentially consuming wafer capacity and causing shortages to last “far longer than even the bulls expect.”

JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur resumed coverage with an Overweight rating and a December 2027 target of $2,250.

Sur said SanDisk is “uniquely positioned” to benefit from the structural increase in NAND demand driven by AI inference.

He also highlighted eight long-term customer agreements representing about $94 billion in total contract value at floor pricing.

Those contracts could provide more earnings visibility than investors historically associate with commodity memory producers.

The risk is that memory remains cyclical because strong pricing encourages more investment.

SanDisk closed at $1,499.37 on Wednesday after trading above $1,825 earlier this month and below $1,000 in late July, illustrating how violently expectations can shift.

SanDisk and Kioxia said they plan to invest more than $31 billion in Japan through 2032 to expand semiconductor technology and production capacity as AI demand rises.

The programme depends partly on Japanese government support.

New capacity gives SanDisk more ability to capture AI growth, but it also creates the longer-term question investors cannot ignore: could supply eventually expand faster than demand?

Věřitelé Hughes žádají vyšetřování odčerpání 1,5 miliardy USD
SATS EchoStar
FMP Stock News 86
Original source text
EchoStar turned a massive spectrum sale into a SpaceX windfall and a stronger balance sheet, but angry creditors are now asking whether a bankrupt subsidiary was drained to make that transformation possible.

The telecom industry’s great balance-sheet reshuffling has entered a new phase. EchoStar (NASDAQ:SATS | SATS Price Prediction) has sold more than $40 billion of spectrum to buyers including AT&T (NYSE:T) and SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX), transforming a company once weighed down by enormous capital requirements into one with a valuable SpaceX stake and greater liquidity. 

But the restructuring has left several subsidiaries behind — and now creditors want to know whether Hughes Satellite Systems was stripped of assets before it entered bankruptcy.

The $1.5 Billion Allegation EchoStar owns Hughes Satellite Systems, which filed Chapter 11 on Aug. 2 after failing to fund roughly $1.5 billion of debt that matured Aug. 1. Hughes had only $101.6 million of cash at March 31, according to its first-quarter filing.

The bankruptcy petition lists assets and liabilities between $1 billion and $10 billion and 10,001 to 25,000 creditors. Hughes also acknowledges at least $774 million of fixed, liquidated, undisputed, unsecured loan debt.

Bondholders, however, allege the problem was not simply a weak satellite business. Their Aug. 5 motion says EchoStar stripped more than $1.5 billion from Hughes through transactions that benefited the parent at creditors’ expense.

The allegations center on four transactions:

Hughes leased the Jupiter 3 satellite from an EchoStar subsidiary beginning in December 2023 for about $191 million annually, which bondholders call above-market. Hughes paid EchoStar $1.029 billion in dividends during the first quarter of 2024. Hughes reimbursed EchoStar $196 million for taxes — roughly 15 times the amount paid in prior years, according to creditors. EchoStar’s SpaceX agreement included referrals of Hughes subscribers to SpaceX for fees, while disclosures leave unclear which entity receives those fees. Creditors also allege certain Hughes satellite assets and regulatory authorizations may have moved as part of the transaction. A $40 billion spectrum sale and a massive SpaceX stake—while a subsidiary is left behind with $1.5 billion in debt and a creditor war. Why SpaceX Matters The SpaceX transaction makes the allegations particularly interesting for investors.

EchoStar agreed to sell spectrum to SpaceX for approximately $20 billion, including up to $11 billion in SpaceX stock. The transaction ultimately gives SpaceX spectrum for its Starlink direct-to-cell ambitions.

Ironically, Hughes creditors now argue that some assets and economic opportunities connected with that broader transaction may have benefited EchoStar while Hughes entered bankruptcy with insufficient resources to meet its obligations.

That doesn’t prove wrongdoing. It does explain why creditors want an independent investigation rather than an internal review.

Investors Need To Separate EchoStar From Hughes EchoStar itself is not the debtor in the Hughes case, and its liquidity profile has improved after the spectrum transactions and related debt reductions. EchoStar’s June 2026 filing also reflects the company’s transformed balance sheet following the spectrum monetization.

But the legal risk is real. The U.S. Trustee urged the bankruptcy court to appoint an examiner to investigate the $1.5 billion of transactions, following the bondholders’ request. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Alfredo Perez is scheduled to consider that request today.

Key Takeaway In short, Hughes’ bankruptcy does not automatically put EchoStar in financial danger. It does, however, create a potentially expensive governance problem.

If an independent examiner finds that Hughes transferred value improperly, creditors could pursue recoveries that exceed $1.5 billion. For shareholders, that makes today’s hearing important. EchoStar’s SpaceX windfall may have dramatically improved its balance sheet, but investors should not confuse stronger liquidity with a clean slate.

Zeta Global zvýšila výhled tržeb na 1,82 miliardy USD
ZETA Zeta Global Holdings
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Key Takeaways ZETA's Q2 revenues jumped 43.5% to $442.8 million, with organic growth of 28%.Zeta Global raised 2026 revenue guidance to $1.82 billion and adjusted EBITDA to about $405 million.ZETA's higher-cost social mix and agency exposure could pressure margins and cash-flow timing. Zeta Global Holdings Corp.’s (ZETA - Free Report) growth prospects include AI-led adoption, expanding customer relationships and Marigold synergies. However, channel-mix pressure, agency exposure and the execution required to achieve full-year GAAP profitability limit the case for a more bullish stance.

AI-Native Momentum Strengthens ZETA’s PositionZeta’s second-quarter 2026 revenues increased 43.5% year over year to $442.8 million, including $48.1 million from Marigold. Excluding acquisitions, revenues grew 28%. Eight of its top 10 industries expanded more than 20% on a trailing-12-month basis, while the sales pipeline increased more than 60% year over year.

The results suggest that enterprises are increasingly consolidating marketing functions onto AI-native platforms capable of delivering measurable returns. Athena became available to all Zeta Marketing Platform customers in the first quarter and is helping simplify workflows and expand platform adoption.

Super-scaled customer ARPU increased 17% to $1.8 million in the second quarter, exceeding Zeta’s 12-16% long-term model. Customers using more than one use case increased 90%, while those using five or more channels rose more than 50%. Cross-sell and upsell deals also grew 43%, indicating that customers are expanding beyond initial platform deployments.

Beat-and-Raise Record Improves VisibilityThe second quarter marked Zeta’s 20th consecutive beat-and-raise quarter. Management lifted its 2026 revenue guidance midpoint to $1.82 billion and raised the adjusted EBITDA midpoint to approximately $405 million. Free cash flow guidance increased to a midpoint of $255 million, representing 63% conversion of adjusted EBITDA.

Zeta also raised its full-year GAAP earnings guidance to 9-11 cents per share after generating second-quarter GAAP net income of $8.2 million, or 3 cents per share. However, the company still posted a $5.1 million GAAP net loss for the first half, making continued second-half operating leverage important.

Marigold integration savings contributed to second-quarter efficiency gains across research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing expenses. Cross-selling Marigold’s loyalty offerings with Zeta’s acquire-and-grow use cases provides an additional expansion opportunity.

Cash Generation and Buybacks Support ShareholdersSecond-quarter free cash flow increased 73% year over year to $58 million, while operating cash flow rose 65% to $69 million. Zeta repurchased approximately 1.65 million shares for $29.9 million during the quarter.

As of July 30, the company had spent $74.6 million on share repurchases in 2026 and had approximately $89.4 million remaining under its authorization. Stronger cash generation and active repurchases support shareholder value while giving Zeta flexibility to fund growth initiatives.

Channel Mix and Agency Exposure Warrant CautionZeta’s cost of revenues represented approximately 41% of second-quarter revenues, up 300 basis points year over year, primarily because new agency customers initially adopted higher-cost social channels. Although the ratio improved 10 basis points sequentially and social remains accretive to adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, slower migration toward Zeta-owned channels could restrain gross-margin improvement.

Management expects third-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.4-24.7%, up from 20.7% in the second quarter. Achieving this improvement depends on integration savings, expense leverage and a favorable channel mix.

Discretionary industries were among the strongest contributors to first-quarter pipeline growth, while agencies typically have longer payment cycles. Consequently, macroeconomic weakness or slower campaign spending could introduce variability in revenue and cash-flow timing.

Earnings Estimates Remain EncouragingThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2026 revenues is pegged at $470.48 million, implying 39.5% year-over-year growth. The consensus estimate for earnings of 28 cents suggests growth of 27.3%.

For 2026, the consensus estimate indicates revenues of $1.82 billion and earnings of 98 cents per share, representing respective increases of 39.4% and 34.3%. Revenues and earnings are projected to grow another 14.4% and 26.9%, respectively, in 2027.

Last WordsZeta’s strong AI adoption, expanding pipeline, Marigold synergies and improving cash generation argue against exiting the stock. Nevertheless, channel-mix pressure, discretionary exposure and dependence on second-half execution temper the near-term upside.

The company’s Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) appropriately captures this risk-reward balance. Existing investors may continue holding ZETA while monitoring margin progression, Athena monetization and the transition of agency spending toward Zeta-owned channels.

Stocks to ConsiderA couple of better-ranked stocks in the broader Business Services sector are Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (BFAM - Free Report) and CBIZ, Inc. (CBZ - Free Report) .

Bright Horizons Family Solutions carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. It has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 13.9%. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

BFAM delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7.6%, on average.

CBIZ also carries a Zacks Rank of 2 at present. It has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 11.6%.

CBZ beat earnings estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed once, with an average earnings surprise of 8.9%.

Modine klesl navzdory silnému růstu zisku a tržeb
MOD Modine Manufacturing
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Modine (MOD - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 3.9% 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 Modine due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.

Modine Q1 Earnings Beat EstimatesModine reported adjusted earnings of $1.53 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, up 44% year over year. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.27 by 20.47%.

Net sales increased 28% year over year to $874.1 million but missed the consensus estimate of $876 million by 0.17%. Data Centers sales surged 90%, while three consecutive quarters of record order intake pushed backlog to nearly twice the year-ago level.

Margins Face Supply Chain PressureGross profit rose 10% year over year to $182 million. However, gross margin contracted 340 basis points to 20.8%, reflecting lower margins across all three operating segments.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $106.5 million, while the corresponding margin declined 270 basis points to 12.2%. Operating income slipped 1% to $74.8 million as higher gross profit was offset by increased expenses supporting growth and the planned Performance Technologies separation.

Data Centers Business Expands RapidlyData Centers revenues jumped to $348.6 million from $183.7 million a year earlier, primarily driven by higher sales to hyperscale customers in North America. Americas sales grew 112%, while EMEA sales advanced 18%.

The segment's adjusted EBITDA rose 27% to $51.7 million, though adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 14.8% from 22.1%. Supply shortages limited production and caused labor inefficiencies and weak overhead absorption. Management estimated that excess labor and under-absorbed overhead reduced the margin by 450-550 basis points.

Commercial HVAC Sales Rise 22%Commercial HVAC sales increased 22% to $261.6 million. Growth reflected higher coil sales to data center customers and $19.7 million of incremental revenues from acquired businesses. Organic sales increased 6%.

Adjusted EBITDA advanced 7% to $41.6 million, while the margin declined to 15.9% from 18.1%. Profitability was affected by acquisition-related business mix, manufacturing consolidation inefficiencies and a greater proportion of lower-margin coil sales. Management expects the segment's margin to improve sequentially through fiscal 2027.

Performance Technologies Sales FallPerformance Technologies revenues declined 3% to $277.8 million. Weak automotive and commercial vehicle demand more than offset higher sales to power-generation customers. Organic sales decreased 4%.

Adjusted EBITDA fell 3% to $36.2 million, while the margin edged down 10 basis points to 13%. Higher material and tariff costs pressured results, with contractual recoveries lagging cost increases. A $2 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses partly mitigated these headwinds.

Expenses Increase to Support GrowthSelling, general and administrative expenses rose 22% to $103.3 million, driven by Data Centers investments, acquired Commercial HVAC operations, incentive compensation and separation-related spending. As a percentage of sales, however, SG&A expenses decreased to 11.8%.

The quarter included $3.9 million of restructuring expenses and $7.1 million of costs tied to the planned Performance Technologies spin-off and merger with Gentherm. The transaction remained on schedule for completion in the fourth quarter of calendar 2026, subject to approvals and closing conditions.

Cash Flow Reflects Capacity SpendingNet cash provided by operating activities increased to $41.4 million from $27.7 million. Free cash flow was negative $5 million compared with positive $0.2 million a year earlier, mainly because capital expenditures rose to $46.4 million as the company expanded Data Centers production capacity.

MOD ended the quarter with $95.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $528.2 million. Net debt increased to $432.9 million from $362.8 million at the end of fiscal 2026, largely due to treasury-stock purchases associated with employee equity awards.

Fiscal 2027 OutlookModine maintained its fiscal 2027 guidance for net sales growth of 20-35% and adjusted EBITDA of $650-$680 million. The outlook includes Performance Technologies for the full fiscal year and implies adjusted EBITDA growth exceeding 40%.

Data Centers sales are projected to increase 60-80%, while Commercial HVAC revenues are expected to grow 5-10%. Management expects companywide margins to improve sequentially, including a 200-250-basis-point increase in the second quarter, as component availability, production throughput and cost recovery improve.

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 -17.18% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresCurrently, Modine has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock was allocated a score 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. Notably, Modine has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerModine belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Original Equipment industry. Another stock from the same industry, Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) , has gained 9% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.

Mobileye reported revenues of $508 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +0.4%. EPS of $0.19 for the same period compares with $0.13 a year ago.

For the current quarter, Mobileye is expected to post earnings of $0.10 per share, indicating a change of +11.1% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +125% over the last 30 days.

The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Mobileye. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of A.

ProPetro zaznamenala ztrátu, tržby překonaly odhad
PUMP ProPetro Holding
FMP Stock News 72
Original source text
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for ProPetro Holding (PUMP - Free Report) . Shares have added about 3.3% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is ProPetro 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 drivers for ProPetro Holding Corp. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

ProPetro Q2 Loss Wider Than Expected, Revenues Beat EstimateProPetro Holding reported a second-quarter 2026 loss of 7 cents per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 1 cent. This was due to higher fleet activation costs, unexpected downtime on an out-of-basin project, severe weather in the Permian Basin during June and increased operating expenses, which weighed on earnings. The bottom line was unchanged from the year-ago quarter’s loss of 7 cents.

Revenues of $306 million beat the Zacks consensus estimate of $301 million by 1.8%, primarily due to higher-than-expected Power Generation, Hydraulic Fracturing and Cementing segment revenues, which beat consensus estimates by 97%, 0.5% and 10%, respectively. However, the metric declined 6.2% year over year from $326.2 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower Wireline revenues, which missed the consensus estimate by 4.9%.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $44.8 million, up 23% from $36.4 million in the prior quarter. The metric represented roughly 15% of revenues and included $15.8 million of operating lease expense related to the company’s FORCE electric fleets. However, the metric missed our estimate of $46.2 million. 

PUMP’s Business Reporting SegmentsProPetro conducts its operations through four reporting segments: Hydraulic Fracturing, Wireline, Cementing and Power Generation. Total revenues increased 13% sequentially from $271 million, primarily due to higher completions utilization and incremental PROPWR deployments.

Hydraulic fracturing revenues totaled $207.2 million, up 15.6% from $179.3 million in the prior quarter. However, the figure missed our estimate of $210.2 million. This segment accounted for approximately 68% of ProPetro’s consolidated second-quarter revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA from hydraulic fracturing increased 19.3% sequentially to $44.2 million. However, performance was affected by upfront maintenance and deployment costs associated with activating the 12th fleet, significant downtime on a temporary out-of-basin customer project and severe Permian Basin weather in June.

Wireline revenues totaled $57.5 million, down 6.9% from the previous quarter. However, the figure beat our estimate of $55.2 million.  Adjusted EBITDA from the segment declined 16.2% sequentially to $11.4 million. Management nevertheless described wireline utilization, pricing and margins as resilient.

Cementing revenues increased 15.2% sequentially to $32 million. The figure beat our estimate of $30.5 million. Segment adjusted EBITDA surged to $5.5 million from $2.1 million, supported by improving activity and higher Permian Basin drilling levels.

Power generation revenues rose to $9.3 million from $2.2 million in the prior quarter. The figure beat our estimate of $1.1 million. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $0.7 million from $5.3 million. PROPWR also generated positive EBITDA during the quarter’s final two months.

PUMP’s Costs & Financial PositionTotal costs and expenses were $309 million for the second quarter, which was down 6.2% from the prior-year quarter’s level.Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, totaled $234 million. General and administrative expenses increased to $33.1 million from $27.2 million sequentially, primarily due to costs associated with PROPWR’s growth and financing activities. Depreciation and amortization rose to $43.5 million from $40.6 million in the prior quarter. The company reported a net loss of $8.1 million compared with a loss of $3.6 million in the first quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $66 million from $3 million. The improvement reflected higher adjusted EBITDA and approximately $20 million of working-capital tailwinds. Free cash flow from the completions business totaled $51.1 million.

As of June 30, 2026, ProPetro had $784 million in cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from its $690 million convertible senior notes offering. Total liquidity was $905 million, including $121 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. Long-term debt amounted to $764.9 million. The total debt-to-total capital was 44.4%.

Capital expenditures paid were $61 million, while incurred capital expenditures totaled $71 million. Approximately $24 million supported completions, while $47 million funded PROPWR equipment orders.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates review.

The consensus estimate has shifted -115% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresCurrently, ProPetro 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 B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile 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 downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, ProPetro has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerProPetro is part of the Zacks Oil and Gas - Field Services industry. Over the past month, Halliburton (HAL - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 12.2%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended June 2026 more than a month ago.

Halliburton reported revenues of $5.71 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +3.7%. EPS of $0.55 for the same period compares with $0.55 a year ago.

For the current quarter, Halliburton is expected to post earnings of $0.58 per share, indicating no change from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -0.4% over the last 30 days.

Halliburton 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.

Wall Street spustila ETF na AI infrastrukturu
WULF TeraWulf
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
A new ETF launched this August targets the companies renting AI compute directly to hyperscalers, offering something QQQ never could: pure-play exposure to contracted infrastructure backlogs worth hundreds of billions. The tradeoffs, however, are not small.

Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) offers AI exposure through the customers rather than the suppliers. QQQ’s top holdings are the hyperscalers spending on AI infrastructure. That has worked, but QQQ dilutes the pure AI-compute rental trade through hundreds of billions in unrelated market cap. On August 6, 2026, Wall Street launched the first ETF built to isolate that trade: a “Neocloud” fund holding the companies renting AI compute back to those same hyperscalers. It landed the same day as a sister photonics and optics ETF, which carries a 0.65% management fee. The question is whether the trade justifies moving away from QQQ.

What Broad AI Funds Actually Give You QQQ’s AI thesis is second-order. Its megacap holdings sell chips, rent cloud services, and build models, but AI sits inside diversified businesses generating cash from unrelated products. Neocloud names are 100% AI infrastructure, contracted years out, and financed against those contracts. If hyperscaler capex doubles again, QQQ moves modestly. The Neocloud basket moves with it directly.

Names Inside the New ETF CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) is the anchor. Q2 revenue hit $2.6 billion, up 112% year over year, with a revenue backlog of $104 billion and more than $25 billion in net new customer commitments added early in Q3. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 59%. CEO Michael Intrator described it as an inflection point where “scale began to translate into expanding operating leverage.”

Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS | NBIS Price Prediction) grew revenue 454% to $582 million, with a first-ever capacity auction clearing 15% above its highest prior Blackwell price. Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD) sits on $36 billion of total contracted lease value, with roughly 76% tied to investment-grade hyperscalers. TeraWulf (NASDAQ:WULF) signed a 20-year, roughly $19 billion lease with Anthropic for 401 megawatts at its Kentucky campus. IREN inked a five-year, $3.4 billion AI Cloud contract with NVIDIA tied to the eventual deployment of 600,000 GPUs. Lumentum is the optics arm: fiscal Q4 revenue jumped 109% to $1.01 billion, with non-GAAP operating margin at 36.6%.

Where This Basket Actually Wins Against QQQ This is concentration by design, and that is the whole point. QQQ gives you fractional exposure to companies where AI revenue is still buried inside much broader businesses. The neocloud basket, on the other hand, is contracted forward in a big way, with $104 billion at CoreWeave, roughly $37.5 billion at Nebius, and $33 billion at TeraWulf. Every additional dollar of hyperscaler capex, which Applied Digital’s Wes Cummins recently pegged at “nearly $700 billion,” up from around $400 billion, flows straight into the companies that have the power, the sites, and the GPU allocations to absorb it. QQQ catches a sliver of that action. The Neocloud ETF captures the bulk of it.

Tradeoffs Worth Naming In the last week alone, CoreWeave fell 18.63%, and Nebius fell 21.55%. CoreWeave’s Q2 interest expense reached $640 million, versus $267 million a year earlier. TeraWulf posted a $939.92 million net loss driven mostly by non-cash warrant marks. IREN took a $140.4 million non-cash impairment, retiring mining hardware. Customer concentration is real: Nebius disclosed three customers representing 24%, 21%, and 14% of revenue, and TeraWulf leans on Anthropic and Google’s $600 million credit backstop for Fluidstack. None of these names pay a dividend.

The idea is to ride the AI infrastructure wave with guardrails. We wrote a free guide on seven suppliers powering the buildout, from power to cooling to networking, here: 7 Stocks Powering the AI Boom (That Aren’t Chipmakers).

How to Think About the Swap These two funds are structurally very different. QQQ is a broad, diversified core holding you can build a portfolio around. The Neocloud ETF, by contrast, is a satellite that hones in on one specific theme, and it does it through structurally levered, cash-flow-negative businesses. A partial reallocation could make sense here. If you size the Neocloud fund as a modest slice of your AI exposure rather than swapping it in for QQQ entirely, you get that pure-play upside without betting your whole portfolio on capital markets staying open for six companies at the same time. One word of caution, though. If you are working in a taxable account, cost basis matters a lot before you start rotating out of appreciated QQQ shares.

Signals That Would Change the Call Whether this actually works comes down to just two things. First, you have to watch what the hyperscalers are planning to spend on capex. Second, capital markets need to stay open and cooperative. CoreWeave alone raised roughly $18 billion in the second quarter, which gives you a sense of the scale we are talking about. If either of those two pillars weakens, the neocloud ETF will take a much bigger hit than QQQ. But if both hold up, the concentration works in your favor. The smart move is a measured position, sized so that even a total loss would not derail your broader plan, and then weigh that against the diversified exposure a broad tech ETF already gives you.
