The presentation will be posted on the company IR site. GlobeNewswire: RBC Conference Participation
• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks Research issued a batch of small estimate changes that are mixed: they nudged FY2026 EPS higher to $5.12 (from $5.10) and lifted Q2/Q3 2026 estimates modestly, but trimmed longer-term FY2028 slightly. These revisions imply modestly better medium-term profitability but little change to consensus near-term guidance. AmericanBankingNews: Zacks Research Forecasts
