Three rating signals since August
RCM Technologies reported second-quarter revenue of USD 93.82 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 4, 2026, up 20.00 percent from USD 78.20 million a year earlier, according to the company investor-relations release dated August 13, 2026. GAAP net income reached USD 4.90 million, or USD 0.68 per diluted share, compared with USD 3.80 million, or USD 0.50 per diluted share, in the comparable period, while adjusted earnings per share rose 18.80 percent to USD 0.82. The figures are reported by RCM Technologies.
What does second-quarter growth mean?
The operating comparison remains constructive. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.80 percent year over year to USD 9.30 million in the second quarter, while adjusted earnings per share rose from USD 0.69 to USD 0.82, according to RCM Technologies. MarketBeat said quarterly adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.82 exceeded the USD 0.62 consensus estimate, while revenue of USD 93.82 million topped the USD 81.75 million forecast.
