On February 5, 2026, Hub Group announced preliminary fourth quarter and full year 2025 results and disclosed the identification of a $77 million accounting error due to “the understatement of purchased transportation costs and accounts payable in the first nine months of 2025.” Additionally, the Company said it “plans to restate its financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of 2025,” and “is continuing to assess the potential impact to its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.”

On this news, the price of Hub Group stock fell $9.37 per share, or 18.25%, to close at $41.96 per share on February 6, 2026.

Then, on May 12, 2026, Hub Group announced that it had “identified certain transactions that were prematurely or incorrectly recognized or not adequately supported,” causing its 2023 and 2024 annual reports filed with the SEC to be “materially misstated,” such that they “should no longer be relied upon.” The Company did not quantify the expected misstatement, although it stated that it “expects to conclude that it did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.”

On this news, the price of Hub Group stock fell $5.24 per share, about 12.5%, to close at $36.62 per share on May 12, 2026.

The complaint alleges, among other things, that throughout the Class Period, the Company’s financial statements contained material misstatements caused by the premature and incorrect recognition of certain transactions and other material misstatements caused by the understatement of purchased transportation costs and accounts payable.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq: WABC), parent company of Westamerica Bank, generated net income for the second quarter 2026 of $27.4 million and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) of $1.17. Second quarter 2026 results compare to first quarter 2026 net income of $27.4 million and EPS of $1.13.

“Westamerica’s second quarter 2026 results benefited from the Company’s low-cost operating principles. The annualized cost of funding interest-earning loans, bonds and cash was 0.24 percent for the second quarter 2026. Operating expenses were well controlled and credit quality remained stable with nonperforming assets of $808 thousand at June 30, 2026”, said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. “Second quarter 2026 results generated an annualized 11.3 percent return on average common equity. Westamerica paid a $0.48 per common share dividend during the second quarter 2026, and retired 753 thousand common shares using its share repurchase plan,” concluded Payne.

Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis was $52.7 million for the second quarter 2026, compared to $52.7 million for the first quarter 2026. The annualized yield earned on loans, bonds and cash for the second quarter 2026 was 4.01 percent, compared to 3.98 percent for the first quarter 2026. The annualized cost of funding interest-earning loans, bonds and cash was 0.24 percent for the second quarter 2026, unchanged from the first quarter 2026.

The Company provided no provision for credit losses in the second quarter 2026 compared to a $300 thousand reversal of provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026. The Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans was $10.8 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $11.2 million at March 31, 2026.

Noninterest income for the second quarter 2026 totaled $10.3 million compared to $9.6 million for the first quarter 2026. The increase in noninterest income is primarily due to higher merchant processing fees, debit card fees and unrealized gains recognized on equity securities.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter 2026 totaled $26.0 million compared to $25.9 million for the first quarter 2026. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily due to higher salaries and benefits expense due to one more business day in the second quarter 2026 compared to the first quarter 2026 and higher professional fees partially offset by lower occupancy and equipment expense.

The income tax provision (FTE) for the second quarter 2026 was $9.5 million compared to $9.3 million for the first quarter 2026.
