Q3'26Q4'26
WAL
Western Alliance Bancorporation
ACL ratio expected to see 'a comparable increase' of about two basis points in Q3 and Q4
The reported four-basis-point increase was larger than the approximately two-basis-point expectation. This is a forecast variance, not evidence that larger reserves are inherently good or bad.

TFC
Truist Financial

I think third quarter, they're going to have to rebuild pipelines. I think we'll grow, but probably more modestly third quarter

Q2'26Q3'26
MS

MCO
Moody's

Q2'26Q3'26

Q3 outlook baked in a flat channel inventory weeks assumption

Q2'26Q3'26
ABT
Abbott Laboratories
CGM market described as plateauing around 8%-9% growth absent reimbursement expansion
Actual trajectory cut further to low-to-mid single digits this quarter, worse than the 8-9% characterization given last quarter.

WULF
TerraWulf
I have said that we expect to have a customer in place in the second quarter, and I remain highly confident.
The Anthropic lease was executed 'following quarter end', meaning after June 30, not within Q2 as promised; a narrow but real timing miss despite the strong economics of the eventual deal.
Q1'26Q2'26
WULF
TerraWulf
For CB3, we are on track to complete our defined scope by the end of May.
CB3 was actually delivered and generating lease revenue in early July, roughly five to six weeks later than guided.
Q1'26Q2'26

CB4 and CB5 remain on track for delivery in the third and fourth quarters of 2026, respectively.
CB4 delivery held at late September (within Q3), but CB5 slipped from the promised Q4 2026 to 'very early January' 2027, a real slip on the CB5 half of this compound promise.

So in Q2, we expect comps to moderate a little bit from Q1, and that's consistent with how we planned earlier in the year. We expect comps in line with our guidance range, so still in that ballpark.
