The Q1 2026 10-Q showed total revenues of $5.407B versus $5.505B a year ago, with operating income of $242.6M versus $233.9M and diluted EPS of $10.85. That combination suggests the quarter was stable on profitability even though the top line softened modestly. [#10-Q-2026-04-30]
On May 12, 2026, stockholders approved a charter amendment allowing holders of at least 25% of outstanding shares to call a special meeting, and the board declared a $0.55 per share cash dividend payable June 15, 2026. That is supportive for capital-return sentiment, though it is not a core operating inflection. [#8-K-2026-05-15]
