Analysis · GCT · Trade & Services
Another record quarter saw revenue climb 27.6% to $411.6M and EPS reach $1.16, but the standout move is an aggressive capital return: the board terminated the old buyback and authorized a new $120M program after deploying $47.7M in recent months. With $378.6M in cash and investments, management is signaling confidence in its valuation while also guiding Q3 revenue to $375M-$400M, implying continued growth. The buyback expansion and strong results arrive against a backdrop of recent market volatility, making this a notable shareholder-friendly move.
