Revenue edges higher in Q2

For Q2 2026, MarketBeat reported revenue of USD 555.13 million, up 1.0 percent year over year and below the USD 556.18 million consensus estimate. That comparison points to modest top-line growth, while the analyst downgrade highlights the pressure on the valuation narrative.

MarketBeat also reported fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 8.410-8.650 and Q3 2026 EPS guidance of USD 2.040-2.160. The guidance gives the market a defined earnings framework ahead of the next scheduled report.
