Beats Estimates, Raises OutlookThe chipmaker beat second-quarter expectations, with revenue rising 25% year over year to $16.13 billion, above the $14.42 billion estimate. Adjusted EPS of 42 cents doubled estimates of 21 cents, while Data Center and AI revenue jumped 59% and Intel Foundry revenue rose 31%.

The company also guided third-quarter revenue to $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion, ahead of the $15.01 billion estimate. Intel expects adjusted EPS of 38 cents, topping the 24-cent estimate.

Wall Street largely viewed Intel’s quarter as further evidence that its turnaround is gaining momentum. Analysts said stronger-than-expected results, improving foundry execution and robust AI-driven server demand reinforce the recovery narrative.

However, they cautioned that Intel still must consistently execute, attract more external foundry customers and convert its heavy AI investments into sustainable, profitable growth as it competes with Advanced Micro Devices Inc., NVIDIA Corp. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd..

Intel Foundry Execution Remains The Key CatalystSemiAnalysis’ Doug O’Laughlin told CNBC on Friday that Intel’s upside depends on whether it can execute its foundry strategy after years of missteps.

He said Intel should announce more external customers over time, including potential interest from Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc., but first needs to prove it can deliver for the customers it has already won.

Benchmark’s Cody Acree also told CNBC on Friday that Intel needs firmer foundry customer announcements to drive the stock higher. He said the company is making progress on yields and development, which could help attract more interest.

Benefits From AI-Driven Server CPU DemandAcree said Intel’s second-quarter results showed broad strength across foundry, PC and server businesses. He said server CPU demand remains strong as hyperscalers continue spending on AI infrastructure.

Acree said AI workloads are moving toward inference and agentic AI, which require CPUs to orchestrate and manage activity alongside GPUs.

He said AMD has gained share from Intel, but the expanding server CPU market could benefit both companies as Intel’s products become more competitive.

Intel Valuation Hinges On Turnaround ExecutionDeepwater Asset Management’s Gene Munster told CNBC on Friday that Intel’s post-earnings rally gives investors more upside potential, helped by stronger September-quarter guidance and commentary around 14A, which he sees as a 2028 catalyst.

Munster said Intel remains much smaller than NVIDIA in data center and AI, and NVIDIA’s GPU business still holds a stronger position in the AI infrastructure buildout. Still, he said Intel’s smaller base gives it more room for upside than larger AI leaders.

O’Laughlin said Intel can look expensive on current sales and cash-flow metrics, but investors are paying for the possibility of margin recovery if the company executes in foundry.

Turnaround Still Needs ProofO’Laughlin said Intel’s U.S. manufacturing footprint gives it scarcity value because the company spans process design through fabrication domestically. The analyst said Intel should not give up its Ohio cleanroom, especially as AI chip demand accelerates.

He said partnerships with memory suppliers such as SK hynix Inc. matter because leading-edge AI accelerators require both logic chips and memory packaging.

He also said Intel’s restructuring reflects an effort to move past organizational bloat, noting that AMD and Taiwan Semiconductor had previously employed fewer people combined despite stronger performance.

Acree said Intel’s valuation looks stretched versus its history, but he sees that as secondary while the company remains early in its turnaround and investors wait for proof from foundry, PCs, servers and AI infrastructure.

July 24 (Reuters) - Intel's (INTC.O), opens new tab shares rose 6% in premarket trading on Friday after bullish forecasts signaled the AI boom was propelling the chipmaker's long-awaited turnaround.

The company forecast third-quarter ​revenue above Wall Street expectations and raised this year's ‌capital expenditure estimate to $20 billion from $18 billion.

The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.

Intel's improving outlook reflects growing adoption of its data center central processing units (CPUs) by customers building infrastructure for artificial intelligence, as CEO ​Lip-Bu Tan works to position the company as a broader ​beneficiary of AI-driven semiconductor demand despite Nvidia's (NVDA.O), opens new tab lead in ⁠accelerator chips.

"The capex increase not only signals confidence in cash flow ​upside and demand visibility from long-term agreements for products, but also ​confidence that Foundry customers are coming (for packaging and 14A wafers)," analysts at Melius Research said.

This month's selloff in global chip stocks has pushed Intel off record highs, ​but the shares have more than doubled this year, driven ​by optimism around the company's turnaround efforts.

The strong results prompted at least six analysts to ‌raise ⁠their price targets, leaving the median target about 8.8% above the stock's last close, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Tan has spent the past year strengthening Intel's finances, securing backing from the U.S. government ​and major investors ​as the ⁠chipmaker seeks to play a key role in Washington's push to revive domestic semiconductor manufacturing.

"The aggressive capex ​raise is a proof point that Intel is likely ​to ⁠see continued customer acquisition as the United States demands more domestic semiconductor manufacturing," D.A. Davidson analysts said.

Demand for data center CPUs has surged alongside ⁠the ​rise of AI agents, with Intel executives ​noting earlier this year that orders were running ahead of the company's production capacity.

American Express reports better-than-expected second-quarter profit. Cardmember spending growth is behind the the performance.

July 24 (Reuters) - American Express (AXP.N), opens new tab increased its full-year revenue growth forecast and beat Wall Street expectations for second-quarter profit on Friday as its ​affluent customers continued to swipe their cards for travel and dining ‌despite lingering economic uncertainty.

Unlike many rivals that cater to a broader range of borrowers, the credit card issuer derives much of its business from higher-income consumers, who are generally better-positioned ​to weather inflationary pressures and maintain discretionary spending.

Get a look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets with the Morning Bid U.S. newsletter. Sign up here.

Billed business, a measure ​of total spending on AmEx cards, rose 9% to $455.8 billion, on ⁠a foreign exchange-adjusted basis. Its revenue rose 10% to $19.6 billion in the quarter.

"Six ​months into the year, we're seeing stronger momentum than we expected. The investments ​we made in our value propositions have driven accelerated spend and revenue growth," said CEO Stephen Squeri in a statement.

The company now expects 2026 revenue to grow 10% — in line with Wall ​Street expectations, according to estimates compiled by LSEG. The stock was last down 1.4% ​in volatile premarket trading after AmEx maintained its profit growth forecast.

AmEx's earnings offer an early look ‌at ⁠spending patterns among affluent consumers, providing investors with an early read on discretionary spending before other major card networks report results.

The company posted a profit of $4.53 per share for the three months ended June 30, compared with $4.08 per share a ​year earlier. Analysts ​expected earnings of $4.40 ⁠per share.

The New York-based company set aside $1.1 billion in consolidated provisions for credit losses in the quarter, versus $1.4 billion a ​year ago.

U.S. consumer sentiment rebounded from record lows in June, ​despite households ⁠remaining worried about the high cost of living, according to the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers.

Loan-loss provisions, often referred to as rainy-day reserves, reflect how much a ⁠lender ​sets aside to cover loans it expects may ​not be repaid, offering a window into how confident it is that borrowers will keep up ​with payments.

Second quarter total Internet customers decreased by 172,000, compared to a decline of 116,000 during the second quarter of 2025. Spectrum Internet delivers the most reliable Internet1, and the Company is evolving its connectivity network to offer symmetrical and multi-gigabit Internet speeds across its entire footprint and has launched symmetrical Internet service in several markets. Spectrum expects to complete its network evolution initiative in 2027. In February 2026, Spectrum launched its Invincible WiFiTM product, a tri-band advanced WiFi 7 router that integrates 5G cellular and battery backup to keep customers seamlessly and fully connected during a power outage or network disruption. In the first quarter, Spectrum launched its $1,000 savings guarantee; new or existing Spectrum Internet customers switching two or more mobile lines from Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile are now guaranteed $1,000 of savings in their first year, or Spectrum will cover the difference.

During the second quarter of 2026, Charter added 406,000 total mobile lines, compared to growth of 491,000 during the second quarter of 2025. Spectrum Mobile has faster wireless speeds than the competition (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon).2 Spectrum Mobile is central to Charter's converged network strategy to provide customers a differentiated connectivity experience with highly competitive, simple data plans and pricing.

Total video customers decreased by 21,000 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a decline of 80,000 in the second quarter of 2025, with the improvement driven by simplified pricing and packaging and benefits from the inclusion of programmers' streaming applications in Spectrum's expanded basic video packages. As of June 30, 2026, Charter had 12.5 million total video customers.

Spectrum TV Select video customers now receive up to approximately $127 per month of programmers' streaming application retail value at no extra cost, including the ad-supported versions of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, AMC+, ViX, Tennis Channel, Fox One and Discovery+. Beginning in June 2026, Spectrum customers can purchase ad-supported and ad-free versions of Netflix through the Spectrum App Store. The Spectrum App Store is an innovative digital marketplace where Spectrum TV customers can activate, manage and upgrade the streaming apps included with their video plans. The Spectrum App Store also allows Spectrum customers without a traditional TV package to purchase and manage streaming apps à la carte.

During the second quarter of 2026, total wireline voice customers declined by 178,000, compared to a decline of 220,000 in the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, Charter had 5.7 million total wireline voice customers.

Charter continues to work with federal, state and local governments to bring Spectrum Internet to unserved and underserved communities.

Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures defined in the "Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Information" section and are reconciled to net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the addendum of this news release. 

Revenues

Second quarter revenue decreased by 1.7% year-over-year to $13.5 billion, driven by lower residential video revenue mostly due to higher costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue and lower residential Internet revenue, partly offset by an increase in residential mobile service revenue, higher mobile device revenue and higher advertising sales revenue. Excluding advertising sales revenue and costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, second quarter total revenue declined by 0.8% year-over-year.

Residential revenue totaled $10.4 billion in the second quarter, a decrease of 3.5% year-over-year, driven by a year-over-year decline in residential customers of 1.8% and a decrease in monthly residential revenue per residential customer of 1.8%. Excluding costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, residential revenue declined by 1.8%.

Second quarter 2026 monthly residential revenue per residential customer totaled $117.52, a decrease of 1.8% compared to the prior year period. The decline was driven by $251 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $67 million in the prior year period, pricing and packaging mix within Charter's customer base and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by the growth of Spectrum Mobile. Excluding costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, monthly residential revenue per residential customer decreased 0.1% compared to the prior year period.

Internet revenue declined 3.2% year-over-year to $5.8 billion, driven by a decline in Internet customers year-over year and pricing and packaging mix within Charter's customer base, partly offset by more favorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year.

Second quarter mobile service revenue totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of 18.9% year-over-year, driven by mobile line growth and rate adjustments.

Video revenue totaled $3.1 billion in the second quarter, a decrease of 9.7% compared to the prior year period, driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter's video customer base, $251 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $67 million in the prior year period, more unfavorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups and video rate adjustments that pass through programmer rate increases.

Voice revenue decreased by 4.5% year-over-year to $331 million, driven by a decline in wireline voice customers, partly offset by voice rate adjustments.

Commercial revenue increased by 1.5% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, driven by mid-market and large business revenue growth of 2.8% year-over-year and an increase in small business revenue of 0.7%. Mid-market and large business revenue excluding wholesale increased by 3.5% year-over-year, mostly reflecting PSU growth. The year-over-year increase in second quarter 2026 small business revenue was driven by a 1.4% increase year-over-year in monthly small business revenue per small business customer, partly offset by a decline of 0.8% in small business customer relationships year-over-year.

Second quarter advertising sales revenue of $416 million increased by 12.3% compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by higher political revenue. Excluding political revenue in both periods, advertising sales revenue decreased by 4.6% year-over-year driven by lower linear advertising revenue, partly offset by higher streaming advertising revenue.

Other revenue totaled $894 million in the second quarter, an increase of 7.1% compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales, partly offset by a $45 million one-time benefit in the prior year period.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Second quarter total operating costs and expenses were flat year-over-year at $8.1 billion, primarily driven by lower programming costs, offset by higher other costs of revenue and higher transition expenses.

Second quarter programming costs decreased by $218 million, or 9.7% as compared to the second quarter of 2025, reflecting $251 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $67 million in the prior year period, a higher mix of lower cost packages within Charter's video customer base and fewer video customers, partly offset by contractual programming rate increases and renewals.

Other costs of revenue increased by $186 million, or 11.3% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales, higher mobile service direct costs and higher advertising sales costs given higher political revenue.

Field and technology operations expenses increased by $21 million, or 1.6% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher vehicle fuel costs and medical expenses.

Customer operations expenses increased by $8 million, or 1.1% year-over-year, driven by medical expenses.

Marketing and residential sales expenses decreased by $31 million or 3.1% year-over-year, due to lower marketing expenses from cost savings, despite higher marketing activity.

Transition expenses represent incremental costs incurred to prepare for the integration of the previously announced Cox transaction.

Other expenses decreased by $27 million, or 2.5% as compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by lower professional services expense.

Net Income Attributable to Charter Shareholders

Net income attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, with lower Adjusted EBITDA offset by a gain on extinguishment of debt related to open market debt repurchases in the second quarter of 2026.

Net income per basic common share attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $10.76 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $9.41 during the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result of a 13.1% decrease in basic weighted average common shares outstanding versus the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 billion declined by 4.3% year-over-year, reflecting a decline in revenue of 1.7%, while operating costs and expenses remained flat. Excluding transition expenses, Adjusted EBITDA declined 3.2% year-over-year.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled $2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2026, in-line with the prior year period, with lower line extension spend offset by higher upgrade/rebuild (primarily network evolution).

Charter continues to expect full year 2026 capital expenditures, excluding impacts from the previously announced Cox transaction, to total approximately $11.4 billion. The actual amount of capital expenditures in 2026 will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of Charter's network evolution and expansion initiatives, supply chain timing and growth rates in Charter's residential and commercial businesses.

Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow

During the second quarter of 2026, net cash flows from operating activities totaled $3.9 billion, an increase from $3.6 billion in the prior year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to lower cash taxes, partly offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA.

Free cash flow in the second quarter of 2026 totaled $969 million, a decrease of $77 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease in free cash flow was driven by an unfavorable change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures, partly offset by higher net cash flows from operating activities.

Liquidity & Financing

As of June 30, 2026, total principal amount of debt was $93.8 billion and Charter's credit facilities provided approximately $3.7 billion of additional liquidity in excess of Charter's $509 million cash position.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, Charter purchased $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of various Charter Communications Operating, LLC and CCO Holdings, LLC notes under an open market repurchase program for $1.0 billion in cash.

Share Repurchases

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, Charter purchased 4.0 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for $838 million.

Additional Information Available on Website

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, which will be posted on the "Results & SEC Filings" section of the Company's investor relations website at ir.charter.com, when it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). A slide presentation to accompany the conference call and a trending schedule containing historical customer and financial data will also be available in the "Results & SEC Filings" section.

Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Information

The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are reconciled to net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the Addendum to this release.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income (expenses), net and other operating (income) expenses, net, such as special charges, merger and acquisition costs and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company's businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or investment activities. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.

Management and Charter's board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to assess Charter's performance and its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under the Company's credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the SEC). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by its operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. The Company's debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees, which were $336 million and $702 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $366 million and $732 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Franco-Nevada Corporation is a Toronto-based royalty and streaming company that specializes in securing and managing long-term interests in mining properties. The firm focuses primarily on precious metals, particularly gold, while also holding interests related to silver, copper, platinum-group metals and select base metals. Rather than operating mines directly, Franco-Nevada acquires royalty and streaming agreements that entitle it to a percentage of production or revenue from producing and developing assets in exchange for upfront or staged financing.

The company’s business model centers on providing capital to mining companies in return for a sustained share of production or metal revenue, which can reduce exposure to operating and capital cost risks typical of mine operators.

NEW YORK, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Zillow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:Z, ZG) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after significant stock drops resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 10, 2026Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud relating to Zillow’s allegedly anticompetitive agreement with Redfin CorporationLargest Alleged Stock Drop: February 11, 2026 – 16.54% Stock Drop on Class C shares; 17.13% Stock Drop on Class A shares.Court: U.S. District Court for the Western District of WashingtonAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until August 10, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Zillow Class C and Class A common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. It is captioned Breidert v. Zillow Group, Inc., et al., No. 26-cv-02016.

Why is Zillow Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

On February 6, 2025, Zillow entered into an agreement with Redfin through which Zillow became the exclusive provider of multifamily rental listings on Redfin’s platform and affiliate websites, including Rent.com. According to the complaint, during the relevant period, Zillow characterized the agreement with Redfin as a “partnership” that would provide Zillow exclusive access to Redfin’s advertising platform.

As alleged, in truth, under the terms of the agreement, Zillow paid Redfin $100 million to stop competing with Zillow, facilitate the transition of its multifamily rental advertising business to Zillow, and close the remainder of its business.

Why did Zillow’s Stock Drop?

On September 30, 2025, the FTC filed a complaint against Zillow and Redfin alleging violations of the federal antitrust laws. According to the FTC complaint, “Zillow and Redfin executed an unlawful agreement to remove competition from [the online rental marketplaces industry], starting with a $100 million payment to Redfin to exit the [Internet Listing Services] market.” In sum, the FTC alleged, “[t]his agreement is nothing more than an end run around competition on the merits with Redfin for customers…” This news caused the price of Zillow’s Class C and A common stock to decline 4.33% and 4.5%, respectively.

On February 10, 2026, Zillow’s CFO told investors that Zillow experienced increased legal expenses which “will result in approximately 200 basis points headwind to EBITDA margins in Q1.” On this news, the price of Zillow’s Class C and A common stock declined 16.54%, and 17.13%, respectively.

Finally, on May 7, 2026, Reuters reported that a “federal judge rejected [Zillow and Redfin’s] request to end a [FTC] lawsuit accusing them of illegally agreeing to suppress competition for online apartment rental listings.” This news caused the price of Zillow’s Class C and A common stock to decline 1.9% and 1.76%, respectively.

NEW YORK, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) and certain of the company’s senior executives for securities fraud after significant stock drops resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Regeneron, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/regeneron-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the Regeneron ($REGN) Class Action:

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: September 14, 2026Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud alleging that Regeneron misled investors regarding the success of its Phase III Fianlimab-Libtayo clinical trialStock Drop: April 29, 2026 – 6.2% Stock DropMay 15, 2026 – 9.8% Stock Drop Court: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New YorkAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights
Investors have until September 14, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Regeneron securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Cheathem v. Regeneron Pharm., Inc., et al., No. 26-cv-6026.

Why is Regeneron Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Regeneron is a pharmaceutical company that discovers, invents, develops, manufactures, tests, and commercializes medicines to treat various disorders.

During the relevant period, Regeneron was investigating Fianlimab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting the LAG-3 immune checkpoint receptor on T-cells. Specifically, Regeneron was testing Fianlimab in combination with Libtayo in a Phase III study to determine whether the drug combination could serve as a first-line treatment for advanced melanoma.

Regeneron told investors that it had “a lot of hope and confidence” that the Phase III trial “can generate a meaningful differentiation against current standards of care.” Further, despite acknowledging that study results had slowed, Regeneron told investors that this was likely because “there was a high level of response and those response[s] are very durable” and that the combination drug was a “potential blockbuster.”

In truth, as alleged, the Phase III Fianlimab-Libtayo study did not achieve statistically significant results.

Why did Regeneron’s Stock Drop?

On April 29, 2026, before market hours, Regeneron announced the Phase III Fianlimab-Libtayo study “will now consider all patients enrolled in the study with a minimum follow-up of 6 months.” This expansion of the study parameters indicated the study did not have enough positive results to achieve statistical significance. This news caused the price of Regeneron stock to decline $45.41 per share, or 6.2%, from a closing price of $731.77 per share on April 28, 2026, to $686.36 per share on April 29, 2026.

Then, on May 15, 2026, after market hours, Regeneron published a press release stating that the Phase III Fianlimab-Libtayo “did not reach statistical significance for the primary endpoint” tested. This news caused the price of Regeneron stock to decline $68.57 per share, or 9.8%, from a closing price of $698.25 per share on May 15, 2026, to $629.68 per share on May 18, 2026.

Friday's preliminary injunction request escalates legal proceedings initiated earlier this week.

Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN) reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter 2026 results, with management citing broadening demand across industrial, data center and automotive markets, along with benefits from prior investments in inventory and manufacturing capacity.

Chief Executive Officer Haviv Ilan said revenue for the quarter was $5.5 billion, up 13% sequentially and 23% from a year earlier. Revenue came in above the company’s prior range as industrial and data center demand continued to grow and automotive demand accelerated during the quarter.

“Our investments in inventory and capacity are serving us well, which allows us to support our customers during this time of increased demand,” Ilan said. He added that Texas Instruments has clean room space available and is positioned to support continued growth.

Industrial, Data Center and Automotive Drive Growth Ilan said both Analog and Embedded Processing grew sequentially and year over year. Analog revenue rose 26% from the year-ago quarter, while Embedded Processing increased 16%. The company’s other segment declined 2% year over year.

By end market, Ilan said industrial revenue increased about 30% year over year and roughly 10% sequentially, with broad growth across sectors and regions. Automotive revenue increased in the mid-teens from a year earlier and rose in the upper single digits from the prior quarter. Data center revenue doubled year over year and grew about 20% sequentially.

Personal electronics was flat year over year and grew in the upper single digits sequentially, while communications equipment increased both year over year and sequentially.

During the question-and-answer portion of the call, Ilan said demand is now broader than in recent quarters, when strength was concentrated in industrial and data center. He said automotive demand built during the second quarter, led by China and by demand tied to electric vehicles and hybrids. He also said some automotive customers had reduced inventories to very low levels.

“I think we are in the start of a cycle that is very broad,” Ilan said.

Profitability Improves; Free Cash Flow Rises Chief Financial Officer Rafael Lizardi said gross profit was $3.4 billion, or 61% of revenue, with gross margin increasing 340 basis points sequentially. Operating expenses were $1 billion, about in line with expectations. Operating profit was $2.3 billion, or 42% of revenue, up 48% from the year-ago quarter.

Net income was $2 billion, or $2.14 per share. Lizardi said earnings per share included a $0.05 benefit from discrete tax items that was not included in the company’s original guidance.

Cash flow from operations was $2.7 billion in the quarter and $8.7 billion over the trailing 12 months. Capital expenditures were $514 million in the quarter and $3.3 billion over the past 12 months. Trailing 12-month free cash flow was $6.5 billion, up from $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

Lizardi said free cash flow over the past 12 months included $1.6 billion of CHIPS Act incentives, consisting of investment tax credits and direct funding. Texas Instruments received $549 million of ITC-related payments in the second quarter for qualifying capital expenditures.

The company paid $1.3 billion in dividends during the quarter and returned $5.8 billion to shareholders over the past 12 months. Texas Instruments ended the quarter with $7 billion in cash and short-term investments and $14 billion in total debt, with a weighted average coupon of 4%.

Inventory at quarter-end was $4.6 billion, down $90 million from the prior quarter. Days of inventory were 196, down 13 days sequentially.

Third-Quarter Guidance Points to Continued Momentum For the third quarter of 2026, Texas Instruments expects revenue of $5.65 billion to $6.15 billion and earnings per share of $2.23 to $2.57. The company expects its effective tax rate to be about 13% in the quarter.

Asked about the demand outlook, Ilan said he expects strength across markets in the third quarter. He noted that personal electronics typically contributes meaningfully to third-quarter growth, but said the current outlook is broader, with industrial, data center and automotive also expected to contribute.

Ilan also said the company has begun executing price increases after pricing remained flat in the first half of the year. He said some increases will begin to affect results in the third quarter, with additional impact expected in the fourth quarter and into next year, depending on annual customer pricing discussions.

“If I think about the forecast for Q3, the vast majority of it is just unit growth and maybe a little contribution from pricing, but almost insignificant,” Ilan said.

Capacity and Lead Times Remain Key Focus Areas Management emphasized that Texas Instruments is better positioned on capacity than in the prior cycle. Incoming CFO Julie Knecht said factory loadings increased from the first quarter to the second quarter and continued to rise throughout the second quarter. She said third-quarter loadings will depend on demand, but the company has clean room space available that it can equip and ramp.

Ilan said Texas Instruments has clean room capacity in Richardson and Sherman, as well as capacity plans tied to Lehi. He said the company is “in great shape” for Analog growth into its existing manufacturing footprint and that Lehi 2 will support Embedded Processing growth.

On lead times, Ilan said they remain competitive, though they have moved slightly higher as demand has increased. He said lead times were below the company’s core 13-week level in the second quarter but have risen by a couple of weeks.

“When I talk with customers, I do believe our lead times are the most competitive in the market,” Ilan said.

CFO Transition and Acquisition Update The call also marked Lizardi’s final earnings call as CFO. Head of Investor Relations Mike Beckman said Lizardi plans to retire at the end of August after nearly a decade as finance chief. Julie Knecht, who has been with Texas Instruments for more than 25 years and has served as chief accounting officer since 2021, will become CFO on August 1.

Lizardi said it had been an honor to work at Texas Instruments for 25 years and to serve as CFO for the past decade. “Over that time, we have made TI stronger and positioned it for continued success,” he said.

Management also provided a brief update on the pending Silicon Labs transaction. Knecht said regulatory approvals are moving as planned and that Texas Instruments still expects the deal to close in the first half of next year. She said the company continues to expect to fund the transaction with cash on hand and debt.
