Second-quarter earnings per share rose
In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 2.80 percent year over year to USD 1.48, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript published July 30, 2026. Management also narrowed adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2026 to USD 5.61-5.72, compared with a USD 5.42 base in fiscal 2025.
The same transcript reported adjusted diluted earnings per share of USD 2.80 for the first half of 2026, up 4.90 percent year over year. The figures are adjusted rather than GAAP earnings per share, so the distinction matters when comparing the outlook with reported results.
