The parts that mattered.
Pulled out of the filing itself, with the figures the company reported.
- EPS increased sharply and beat estimates
- Diluted EPS was $1.48, up from $1.25 in 1Q26 and $0.60 in 2Q25, representing sequential growth of approximately 18.4% and year-over-year growth of approximately 146.7%. EPS exceeded the $1.22 consensus estimate by $0.26, or 21.3%.
- Income modestly exceeded consensus
- Reported total income/revenue was $182.216 million, exceeding the $179.756 million estimate by $2.460 million, or 1.4%. The filing data provided does not disclose comparable gross or operating margins.
- Disclosure controls remained effective
- Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026, and reported no changes in internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, controls.
- Repurchase capacity remains largely unused
- The company repurchased zero shares during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The repurchase program had $96.998 million remaining at June 30, 2026, against the original $100.000 million authorization.
And the other side of it.
The offsets in the same document — the things a summary that only listed the good news would have left out.
- Unused share-repurchase authorization
- The company repurchased zero shares in each of April, May, and June 2026, leaving $96.998 million available under the program. This indicates that the authorization has not yet provided shareholder-return support during the quarter.
