Reported: 2026-05-03

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

BXMT Q1 2026

Reported: 2026-05-03

Shares of Blackstone Mortgage Trust fell 5.1% following first-quarter results, with investor disappointment centered on a reported GAAP net loss and continued deceleration in loan portfolio growth. Despite management's emphasis on portfolio resilience and new investments, the market reaction suggests that the outlook or underlying earnings quality fell short of expectations.

Key takeaways

Reported a GAAP net loss of $0.04 per share; distributable earnings were $0.21 per share.
Dividend of $0.47 per share was paid, but earnings coverage relied on distributable numbers.
Loan portfolio remained flat at just under $20 billion, signaling ongoing sluggish growth.
New originations reached $275 million with a weighted average LTV of 68%; gross originations exceeded $800 million, but net portfolio expansion was minimal.
While management highlighted new data center and net lease investments, the weak stock response underscores lingering investor concerns over future earnings trajectory and portfolio performance.

Cardinal Health, Inc.

CAH Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-05-03

Cardinal Health shares fell 3.7% post-earnings as decelerating GLP-1 growth and signs of moderating pharma momentum overshadowed raised full-year guidance. While management emphasized broad-based strength, the market appears concerned by a slowdown in key drug revenue drivers and mix headwinds.

Key takeaways

GLP-1 category revenue, while still up over 30%, moderated sequentially; GLP-1s added 6 percentage points to revenue growth, offset by a 6-point headwind from inflation reduction at WAC pricing adjustments.
Pharma segment revenue grew 11% to $56.1 billion, with profit climbing 18% to $784 million, driven by brand and specialty.
Company-wide, revenue rose 11% to $61 billion; gross profit increased 18% to $2.5 billion.
Operating earnings gained 18% to $956 million, and non-GAAP EPS rose 35% to $3.17 (aided by discrete tax benefits).
Management raised full-year non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow guidance, but the tempered outlook in high-growth categories and mix shifts weighed on investor sentiment.

Colgate-Palmolive Company

CL Q1 2026

Reported: 2026-05-03

Colgate-Palmolive shares closed up 2.2% following Q1 2026 earnings, as results were broadly in line with expectations. The company delivered organic sales growth, with momentum in emerging markets offset by continued softness in North America and a reduction in full-year gross margin guidance due to inflationary pressures.

Key takeaways

Organic sales growth accelerated versus Q4, led by improved volume performance in Asia Pacific and emerging markets; volume and pricing gains were reported in all four product categories and four out of five divisions (excluding the divested private label pet food business).
Management highlighted strong market share performance in emerging markets, credited to increased brand investment and targeted strategic interventions.
North America continues to experience volume/mix headwinds; while improvement is expected in Q2, the region remains a relative laggard.
Company reduced its expectations for 2026 gross margin, citing significant increases in raw material and packaging costs.
Announced an updated savings target of $200–300 million from its strategic growth and productivity program, with most benefits anticipated in 2027–2028; these savings will fund capability investments toward its 2030 strategy.

CLMB Q1 2026

Reported: 2026-05-03

Climb Global Solutions shares declined 11.2% post-earnings, as investors reacted to signs of margin compression despite solid top-line growth. While gross billings and revenue posted double-digit gains, weaker gross profit growth lagged revenue acceleration and appears to have weighed on sentiment.

Key takeaways

Gross billings increased 14% year-over-year to $542.8 million, reflecting expansion across both Distribution (+15%) and Solutions (+4%) segments.
Net sales jumped 32% to $182.4 million, benefiting from both organic growth and the recent acquisition of Interwork.
Gross profit rose 13% to $26.5 million, trailing behind net sales growth, indicating margin pressure.
Expansion initiatives included two new vendors—Czech MK and Logic Monitor—and the acquisition of Interwork to deepen the European presence.
Management emphasized continued investment in global infrastructure and AI-enabled tools but did not provide updated forward guidance.

Reported: 2026-05-03

Performance benefited from constructive policy developments and strength in core segments, while the stock’s modest move suggests investors found results largely in line with expectations.

Key takeaways

Combined adjusted EBITDA was $407 million, up from $196 million in Q1 2025 and $336 million in the prior quarter; margin improvement was noted across segments.
Gross margins rose to 26.1%, versus 22.6% a year ago, with Feed segment EBITDA increasing to $169 million from $111 million in the prior year.
Food segment sales increased to $405 million, but gross margin slipped slightly to 28.9% (from 29.3% a year ago); raw material volumes remained flat.
Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) contributed $151 million EBITDA on 272 million gallons sold, helped by a $97 million LCM inventory valuation adjustment; working capital contributions to DGD and timing of tax credits caused quarter-end net debt to increase to $4 billion.
Management pointed to a more favorable policy backdrop and anticipated continued tailwinds for renewables and core ingredients in subsequent quarters.

Reported: 2026-05-03

Sales volume reached a record 3 million short tons, up 38% year-over-year, boosted by contributions from the new Blue Creek mine.
High Vol A products comprised 61% of the sales mix, a 10% increase over the prior quarter, shifting the product mix toward lower-relative pricing.
