Q2 FY2026 EarningsQ2 FY26 results significantly beat consensus across all profitability metrics despite a mixed revenue performance. Diluted EPS reached $6.14, far exceeding the mean estimate of $5.75, driven by a massive recovery in the Infrastructure segment and a substantial reduction in SG&A expenses. While consolidated revenue of $1,118.7M slightly missed the $1,093.6M expectation (normalized basis), segment operating income in Infrastructure surged 495.7% YoY as the company lapped prior-year impairment charges and benefited from strong utility demand. Management's aggressive share repurchase program ($117.5M in H1) and successful settlement of Brazil litigation further stabilized the bottom line.
