Why It Matters
Preliminary quarterly results give investors an early look at recent performance ahead of a full earnings release. Reiterating 2026 guidance signals management is maintaining its outlook. Expanding the buyback program to $500M is a concrete capital‑allocation move that can reduce share count and potentially support earnings per share and share price, depending on execution. Investors should watch for the full earnings release and details behind the preliminary results for revenue, earnings, and cash‑flow metrics.
