Revenue beats consensus by USD 122.77 million
According to MarketBeat on September 29, 2026, Babcock & Wilcox reported Q2 earnings per share of USD 0.04 against a USD 0.02 consensus estimate. Quarterly revenue reached USD 319.72 million versus USD 196.95 million expected, a USD 122.77 million gap.
The finance results show Q2 operating profit of USD 11.769 million and consolidated net income of USD 14.255 million for the period ending June 30, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents stood at USD 348.078 million on the same date, while operating cash flow was negative USD 17.415 million.
Adjusted EBITDA target reaches USD 105 million
IT Boltwise reported on September 29, 2026, that adjusted EBITDA rose to USD 21.80 million in Q2 2026 from USD 13.90 million a year earlier. The company lifted its 2026 adjusted EBITDA target to a range of USD 80.00 million to USD 105.00 million.
That improvement comes with a substantial execution burden. Babcock & Wilcox also has to convert project activity into profitable delivery, because the Q2 operating margin supplied by the financial statements was 4.00 percent.
Analysts see a USD 15.40 target
The analyst picture is more constructive than the daily quotation. MarketBeat reported a Hold consensus from seven analysts on September 29, 2026, with four Buy ratings, two Holds and one Sell. The average 12-month price target was USD 15.40, with a high target of USD 23.00 and a low target of USD 6.00. The average target lies 171.8 percent above the USD 5.67 NYSE price.
A separate company development adds scale to the operating story. On September 10, 2026, Babcock & Wilcox announced work on an approximately USD 130 million air-quality-control project, according to StockTitan. The project increases the potential order base while keeping execution and margin conversion central to the investment case.
