Mixed Q1 2026 Results for Major US Firms as Tech and Utilities Maintain Growth

Key Facts

1FirstEnergy reported Q1 2026 Core Earnings of $0.72 per share and reaffirmed its long-term annual growth guidance.
2Rush Street Interactive achieved record quarterly revenue of $370.4 million, a 41% year-over-year increase.

The Q1 2026 earnings season continues to show divergence across sectors, with American Water reporting adjusted EPS of $1.01, while NorthWestern Energy (NWE) announced net income of $63.5 million, or $1.03 per share. NWE's earnings fell from $76.9 million in Q1 2025, primarily due to merger-related costs and higher administrative expenses. Conversely, FMC Corporation faced headwinds in the chemicals sector with a 4% revenue decline to $759 million. These updates complement robust reports from Cognizant, which saw revenue of $5.4 billion, and Parsons, which achieved a record $9.3 billion backlog. While technology and utilities show operational resilience, companies like Prosperity Bancshares and NWE continue to navigate the financial impact of merger expenses and seasonal pressures.
