Diluted EPS recovered to $5.54 from $1.05 in Q1, although it declined 9.5% from $6.12 in the prior-year quarter.

The parts that mattered.
Pulled out of the filing itself, with the figures the company reported.
- Revenue Stabilized Sequentially
- Second-quarter revenue was $201.362 million, up from $199.5 million in Q1 2026 but down from $211 million in Q2 2025, representing approximately 0.9% sequential growth and 4.6% year-over-year contraction.
- EPS Rebounded, but Below Prior Year
- Diluted EPS was $5.54, sharply above $1.05 in Q1 2026 but below $6.12 in Q2 2025, a sequential increase of approximately 427.6% but a year-over-year decline of 9.5%.

The offsets in the same document — the things a summary that only listed the good news would have left out.
- Keystone Controls Not Yet Assessed
- Management excluded Keystone from its internal-control assessment because it was acquired on March 1, 2026. Keystone represented 12.3% of consolidated total assets at June 30, 2026 and 6.9% and 4.8% of consolidated revenues for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, increasing integration and control-monitoring risk.
- Market and Securities-Price Exposure
- The filing reports no material changes to the company’s market-risk disclosures from the 2025 Form 10-K, but the company remains exposed to unfavorable movements in interest rates and securities prices.
