If your firm is not collecting earned revenue, growth will slow, cash flow will tighten, and profitability will suffer. Fortunately, revenue and profit leakage can be minimized with awareness, the right tools (such as 8am Smart Spend), and disciplined financial oversight. In this webinar, Brittany Hoffmann of 8am and fractional CFO Kelley Brubaker explored common sources of profit leakage - along with practical, actionable tactics for improvement.
Revenue climbed 27% year-over-year to $3.45B, clearing the $3.36B consensus estimate by roughly $90M. That growth rate outpaced rival Uber's 18% quarterly expansion, signaling stronger order momentum in the core delivery business. The problem? Earnings per share came in at $0.55, missing the $0.68 estimate by 19%. GAAP net income of $244M also declined sequentially from $285M in Q2, a red flag that profitability may be plateauing after months of steady improvement.
American Superconductor (NASDAQ: AMSC) reported FY26 Q2 earnings after market close on Nov. 5, delivering a fifth consecutive quarter of profitability. Revenue reached $65.9M, up more than 20% year over year, though GAAP earnings per share declined slightly to $0.11 from $0.13 in the prior year period. The stock closed at $59.55 ahead of the report, reflecting investor confidence in the company's ongoing turnaround from years of losses, but shares of AMSC fell by as much as 20% in after hours trading.
T-Mobile ( NASDAQ: TMUS) delivered another headline-grabbing quarter today, beating Wall Street estimates and extending its streak of record postpaid growth. Yet despite the strong print, shares fell 4% as investors weighed the pace of broadband additions and the modest size of management's guidance raise. The carrier reported Q1 revenue of $20.89 billion, beating consensus by $270 million and growing 6.6% year-over-year. Earnings per share came in at $2.58, ahead of the $2.47 estimate. Net income surged 24.4% to $2.95 billion, while operating income climbed 20.1% to $4.80 billion, both expanding faster than revenue, signaling healthy leverage across the business.
