Operating cash flow of $669 million for the year, up $106 million, with 17% operating cash flow margin; free cash flow of $555 million, up $117 million, with 14% free cash flow margin. Q1 2026 Guidance The following outlook does not reflect the impact of the pending SPX FLOW acquisition, which was announced on December 5, 2025, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026. We expect revenue growth of roughly 11%, up 5% on an organic basis; operating margin of approximately 18%, and adjusted operating margin greater than 18%, up approximately 100 bps; EPS of $1.67 to $1.71, and adjusted EPS of $1.68 to $1.72 vs. consensus of $1.6 1 . Starting in fiscal 2026, and following the expected close of the SPX FLOW acquisition, ITT will revise adjusted operating income and adjusted income from continuing operations to exclude acquisition-related intangible amortization expense in addition to previously excluded special items. This change reflects ITT’s ongoing portfolio transformation and is intended to provide a clearer view of core operating earnings while enhancing comparability with peers. Under the new definitions, fiscal 2025 adjusted operating income would increase by $47.3 million and adjusted EPS would increase by $0.46. More on ITT ITT Inc.

Just because you're allowed to do it doesn't make it a good idea. There's a reason it pays to save for retirement in an IRA. These accounts give you a couple of helpful tax breaks in the course of building a nest egg. First, contributions to a traditional IRA get to go in on a pre-tax basis. That allows you to shield some income from taxes. Also, investment gains in an IRA are tax-deferred, so you don't pay taxes until you're ready to take withdrawals. But there are some drawbacks to saving for retirement in a traditional IRA. First, you'll eventually be forced to take required minimum distributions. Secondly, you'll have to leave your balance alone until age 59 and 1/2 or otherwise risk a 10% early withdrawal penalty. There's an exception to that rule, though, for first-time homebuyers. In that case, you can take up to $10,000 out of your IRA at any age, and you won't be charged an unwanted penalty. But just because this option exists doesn't mean you should exercise it. The problem with using an IRA to buy a home Given today's home prices, it's easy to see why you may want to tap your IRA to come up with your down payment. But while taking a $10,000 IRA withdrawal might seem like an innocent enough move, it could end up backfiring in a serious way. First, if you're struggling to save for a home, to the point where you need your IRA to fund your down payment, you risk becoming a homeowner at a time when you don't have adequate emergency savings. That could put you at risk of debt if things break and you need to make repairs. Also, any money you remove from your IRA ahead of retirement is money you won't have available in retirement. And remember, when you take an early withdrawal, you lose out on the opportunity to grow that sum into more money. Let's say you have $50,000 in your IRA, and you take out $10,000 to buy a home. You might think, "Well, I'm leaving most of my retirement savings intact." But if your IRA delivers an 8% yearly return, which is a bit below t...

Key Points Taiwan Semiconductor's sales and earnings are rising quickly, and the company has an impressive gross margin of 62%. The company holds 70% of the global processor manufacturing market share and an estimated 90% of the advanced chip market. With its current manufacturing lead, Taiwan Semiconductor's competitive advantage could last decades. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › The current stock market bull run, while great for investors, has made it difficult to distinguish which companies have the potential to be long-term winners and which are merely benefiting from the current market optimism. And it's especially difficult to assess artificial intelligence (AI) stocks right now, since so many are flying high and nothing seems to be bringing them back down to earth. But that doesn't mean all of them are just flash-in-the-pan stocks, of course. One company that is experiencing a share price surge and has significant potential to continue growing in the coming years is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(NYSE: TSM), also known as TSMC. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Here's why I'd put money into this stock if I could only pick one right now. 1. TSMC's sales and earnings are growing at a healthy clip TSMC recently reported strong fourth-quarter results, with sales rising nearly 26% to $33.7 billion and earnings increasing 35% to $3.14 per American depositary receipt. Management is guiding for more growth in the first quarter of this year, with an estimated 86% increase in sales in the first quarter -- to just over $35 billion at the midpoint of guidance -- and for revenue to increase by 30% in 2026. What's more, TSMC has a healthy gross margin of just over 62%, allowing the company's bottom line to increase as its sales rise. This is important to highlight because while some AI companies have...

Taiwan Semiconductor is far more than a flash-in-the-pan AI stock. The current stock market bull run, while great for investors, has made it difficult to distinguish which companies have the potential to be long-term winners and which are merely benefiting from the current market optimism. And it's especially difficult to assess artificial intelligence (AI) stocks right now, since so many are flying high and nothing seems to be bringing them back down to earth. But that doesn't mean all of them are just flash-in-the-pan stocks, of course. One company that is experiencing a share price surge and has significant potential to continue growing in the coming years is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM 2.98%), also known as TSMC. Here's why I'd put money into this stock if I could only pick one right now. 1. TSMC's sales and earnings are growing at a healthy clip TSMC recently reported strong fourth-quarter results, with sales rising nearly 26% to $33.7 billion and earnings increasing 35% to $3.14 per American depositary receipt.

What's more, TSMC has a healthy gross margin of just over 62%, allowing the company's bottom line to increase as its sales rise. This is important to highlight because while some AI companies have rapidly expanding sales -- and share prices -- some of them have failed to generate significant and sustainable profits. The goal for long-term tech investors isn't to find stocks that are only benefiting from a popular trend, but for the companies to also be profitable (or working toward it) and have sustained advantages over their rivals.

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Listen below or on the go via Apple Podcasts and Spotify Alphabet ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) earnings: Key takeaways amid earnings beat, sharp rise in 2026 spending. (00:14) Qualcomm ( QCOM ) crashes amid weak Q2 guidance. (01:14) Pizza Hut ( YUM ) to close some underperforming stores in the U.S. as part of a brand reset . (02:18) This is an abridged transcript. Alphabet stock ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) is 2% lower in premarket action after closing 2% in the red on Wednesday. The company reported earnings that saw revenues overall grow 18% to $113.8B, topping expectations for $111.5B. This was due to accelerating growth in Google Services and the increasingly important Google Cloud. As with other big-tech bellwethers, investor focus was heavily on artificial intelligence spending and benefits. CEO Sundar Pichai signaled that 2026 capital expenditures would come in at $175B-$185B , well above estimates compiled by Bloomberg for $119.5B. Capex for 2025 came in at $91.5B, in line with previous company guidance for $91B-$93B. Qualcomm ( QCOM ) is down 11% in premarket trading after offering up guidance for the coming quarter that missed Wall Street's forecast . For the period ending Dec. 28, Qualcomm said it earned an adjusted $3.50 per share as revenue rose 5% year-over-year to $12.25B. A consensus of analysts expected the company to earn $3.41 per share on an adjusted basis, with revenue of $12.2B. Looking to the second-quarter, Qualcomm said it expects to earn between $2.45 and $2.65 per share on an adjusted basis, with revenue forecast between $10.2B and $11B. Analysts were expecting $2.90 per share in earnings and $11.1B in revenue.
