Bulls say / Bears say
Net sales increased 3.0% year-over-year to $520.1 million in Q2 2026, driven by an 11% volume gain in Performance Chemicals and a 16% increase in utility pole volumes, reflecting strong end-market demand. (SEC Filing)
Record year-to-date operating cash flow of $96.3 million and free cash flow of $72.6 million through June 30, 2026 enabled the company to reduce debt and return $47.4 million to shareholders, underscoring robust cash generation. (SEC Filing)
Performance Chemicals segment adjusted EBITDA rose 31.4% year-over-year to $37.7 million, benefiting from higher volumes and lower raw material costs driven by the company’s copper-hedging program. (SEC Filing)
The GAAP net loss of $147.5 million in Q2 2026, which included $215.8 million of impairment, restructuring and plant‐closure charges, underscores substantial non-cash write-downs weighing on profitability. (SEC Filing)
Adjusted EBITDA declined 7.9% year-over-year to $71.0 million, pressured by higher raw material and freight costs, unfavorable pricing in the Railroad and Utility Products and Services segment, and reduced maintenance-of-way activity. (SEC Filing)
RUPS segment adjusted EBITDA fell 18.7% year-over-year to $25.7 million due to price and mix headwinds, higher raw material costs, and a $1.7 million impact from the prior sale of its railroad services business, signaling challenges in its core railroad operations. (SEC Filing)
