Analysis · FORR · Trade & Services
Second-quarter revenue and earnings came in above consensus, with GAAP net income swinging to a $15.3 million profit from a loss a year ago. The company maintained its full-year 2026 guidance, signaling stabilization after a period of revenue declines and restructuring. The restart of the stock buyback program and a director retirement add modest governance and capital allocation updates. While the revenue decline continues, the beat and steady outlook suggest the business is finding a floor.
