Thene, Chairman and CEO of Carpenter Technology. "The record quarter was an increase of 31.0 percent over the previous second fiscal quarter.""The quarterly performance was driven by the SAO segment, which continued to expand adjusted operating margins. Reaching 33.1 percent in the quarter, up from 28.3 percent in the second quarter a year ago, the SAO segment realized $174.6 million in operating income, its best quarter on record.""Demand in our Aerospace and Defense end-use market continues to accelerate as customers gain confidence with the ramping build rates. Notably, we saw bookings for Commercial Aerospace increase 23 percent sequentially. Given the strong demand outlook, our customers continue to be focused on securing their supply. To that end, we completed negotiations on three additional long-term agreements with aerospace customers, realizing significant value.""Given the strong demand environment and the visibility we have for the second half of the fiscal year, we are raising our guidance to $680 million to $700 million. This range represents a 30 percent to 33 percent increase over our record fiscal year 2025 earnings.""In addition, we expect to generate at least $280 million in adjusted free cash flow in fiscal year 2026. With a strong balance sheet and meaningful adjusted free cash flow, we will continue to take a balanced approach to capital allocation: sustaining our current asset base to achieve our targets, investing in high value growth initiatives like the recently announced brownfield capacity expansion, and returning cash to shareholders. To that end, we executed $32.1 million in share repurchases in the quarter against our $400.0 million repurchase program.""Looking over the long term, our broad portfolio of specialized solutions, increasing productivity, optimizing product mix and pricing actions will continue to drive growth well into the future. Together with our investments to accelerate growth, we are positioned to achieve and exceed our goals over the long-term."Financial Highlights Q2 Q1 Q2($ in millions, except per share amounts) FY2026 FY2026 FY2025Net sales $728.0 $733.7 $676.9Net sales excluding surcharge (a) $589.1 $603.1 $548.0Operating income $155.2 $153.3 $118.9Net income $105.3 $122.5 $84.1Earnings per diluted share $2.09 $2.43 $1.66Adjusted earnings per diluted share (a) $2.33 $2.43 $1.66Net cash provided from operating activities $132.2 $39.2 $67.9Adjusted free cash flow (a) $85.9 $(3.4) $38.6 (a) Non-GAAP financial measures explained in the attached tables Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $728.0 million, compared with $676.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, an increase of $51.1 million (or 8 percent).

KSE-100 sheds over 3% points amid geopolitical uncertainty

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed heavy selling pressure throughout the session, with the benchmark KSE-100 dropping over 3% or 6,000 points on Thursday amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty and a recent uptick in oil prices.The benchmark index opened on a weak note and remained under pressure for most of the day, slipping steadily as investor sentiment deteriorated.Selling further intensified in the early afternoon, triggering a sharp drop, dragging the benchmark index to an intra-day low of 181,961.14, before a mild rebound helped trim some losses in the final hour of trading.At close, the KSE-100 settled at 182,338.12, a decrease of 6,042.26 points or 3.21%.Analysts attributed the selling pressure to rising tensions between US and Iran and an increase in global oil prices.“Geopolitical developments and the recent uptick in oil prices are reinforcing market expectations that interest rate easing will be delayed further due to elevated uncertainty,” Saad Hanif, Head of Research at Ismail Iqbal Securities, told Business Recorder.Apart from geopolitical tensions, the latest financial results of Fauji Fertilizers Limited were “below expectations”, said Sana Tawfik, Head of Research at Arif Habib Limited.“Across-the-board selling is observed due to uncertainty amid geopolitical issues,” she added.Meanwhile, Topline Securities said the steep decline was largely driven by Fauji Fertilizer Company’s (FFC) earnings announcement, which “fell short of market expectations due to weaker-than-anticipated gross margins”.“Furthermore, market speculation had fueled expectations of a stock split or bonus issue—neither of which materialised. This divergence between investor expectations and actual outcomes triggered panic selling, as participants rushed to lock in recent gains, exacerbating the downward momentum.”Heavyweight stocks including FFC, UBL, ENGROH, OGDC, and HUBC were the primary laggards, collectively shaving 3,155 points off the benchmark index during the session, Topline said.In another development, various trade bodies have expressed serious concern over the likely impact of the proposed India–European Union Free Trade Agreement (FTA) on the country’s textile and hosiery exports, warning that it would place Pakistan at a structural disadvantage despite its existing GSP+ status with the EU.On Wednesday, PSX closed the session marginally higher as select buying in energy, power generation and banking stocks helped benchmark indices end in positive territory, despite persistent volatility and broadly negative market breadth across cash and futures segments. The benchmark KSE-100 Index rose by 177.53 points, or 0.09%, to close at 188,380.39 points.Internationally, Asia’s runaway stock markets took a breather on Thursday as mixed earnings out of the tech sector ​stirred caution ahead of Apple’s results, while the dollar looked shaky despite verbal support from both US and European officials.Gold and silver climbed ‌to all-time highs as investors continued their rush into physical assets, and oil prices hit a four-month top as US President Donald Trump warned Iran of possible attacks if it did not make a deal on nuclear weapons.The US Federal Reserve kept interest rates on hold as widely expected, while Chair Jerome Powell talked of a “clearly improving” economic outlook and broad support on the committee for a pause.Powell would not be drawn on whether he would remain as a governor after he steps down as Chair in May, given Trump’s efforts ‌to pressure the Fed into more aggressive cuts.Investors reacted by further paring the chance of another policy easing by April ​to 26%, with June seen as the next likely window at 61%.Meanwhile, the Pakistani rupee registered marginal improvement against the US dollar in the inter-bank market on Thursday. At close, the local currency settled at 279.80, a gain of Re0.01 against the greenback.Volume on the all-share index decreased to 933.10 million from 953.92 million recorded in the previous close. The value of shares increased to Rs66.41 billion from Rs48.88 billion in the previous session.K-Electric Ltd was the volume leader with 104.16 million shares, followed by WorldCall Telecom with 48.36 million shares, and B.O.Punjab with 31.35 million shares.Shares of 487 companies were traded on Thursday, of which 83 registered an increase, 364 recorded a fall, and 40 remained unchanged.
