For its Q3 FY26, ABM Industries Inc. (NYSE:ABM) posted a record topline figure of $2.3 billion. With year-over-year acquisitive growth and organic expansion of 2.1% each, the total jump in sales was 4.2%. The company's adjusted EBITDA for the quarter climbed 11% to $139.6 million, compared to Q3 FY25. Adjusted net income stood at $61.5 million, exhibiting a 19% growth and translating into an adjusted diluted EPS of $1.04. ABM generated operating cash flows for the third quarter totaling $146.8 million, while free cash flow stood at $128.4 million.

Third quarter print revealed that majority of the topline growth was concentrated across the company's Aviation, and Manufacturing & Distribution (M&D) segments, which expanded 12.5% and 17.6% respectively. Performance within the M&D segment was driven by strong technology market trends, with further support coming from ABM's acquisition of WGNstar. Aviation segment got a boost from robust demand for air travel and healthy progress around the company's newly secured London Heathrow contract.
Prudent cost management resulted in around $3 million reduction in ongoing corporate costs compared to the previous year. Overall growth in bottom line can be attributed to higher operating profits across most segments, a lower tax bill, and cut down in corporate overhead. Some of these were offset by rising interest burden due to the financing of the WGNstar transaction. The company's share buyback initiative was another factor that led to a 25% rise in diluted EPS for the quarter.
The Education segment's revenue held steady. Business & Industry (B&I) slipped 2.6%, largely in line with expectations, due to the previously disclosed loss of a major UK client and ongoing weakness along the US west coast. Technical Solutions (ATS) growth was hampered by certain deferred projects.

Throughout the course of his professional baseball career, Norwalk native Matt Dermody held a variety of odd jobs. The Iowan worked at a carpet store, drove forklifts and was even a bike messenger.
He's walking away from his most profitable gig yet.
Dermody, who spent parts of five seasons in the big leagues, told The Des Moines Register on Aug. 14 that he's retiring from baseball. The lefty pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox.
During his half-decade in the majors, Dermody appeared in 31 career games, compiling a 2-1 record with a 5.74 ERA with 23 strikeouts across 31.1 innings of work.

Chicago Bears training camp is in full swing ahead of the 2026 regular season. Under second-year head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears are looking to build on their success from last year and keep pace in a crowded NFC with important meetings and practices at Halas Hall.
Tuesday's practice was set to be the most intense day yet for the Bears, according to Johnson. Inclement weather caused the team to close practice to the fans, but the Bears were able to still practice outdoors. And it was a back and forth day for both sides of the ball.
Following every Bears training camp practice, we at Bears Wire will highlight the top players who stood out on the field. Here are the players who stood out on Day 12 of practice:
D'Andre Swift appears to be in midseason form. The veteran running back is stringing together strong practices with another coming on Tuesday. According to WGN's Eli Ong, Swift took a pitch for a 38-yard touchdown while breaking multiple tackles in the process. Bear Report's Zack Pearson called Swift's runs "explosive" early on during practice and noted one of his broken tackles came against rookie safety Dillon Thieneman. It seems Swift was the offensive star of the day and hopefully this translates to a strong start to the regular season.
At long last, linebacker T.J. Edwards is back in team drills. Edwards had a long offseason rehabbing his fractured fibula and dealing with another injury prior to training camp. He officially returned to practice last week but had only been doing individual workouts. Tuesday was his first taste of 11-on-11s and he made his presence known. CHGO's Adam Jahns observed Edwards making a big stop on running back Roschon Johnson for a tackle for loss. It's a good sign for Edwards as he works to regain his early 2025 form while competing for a starting spot alongside D'Marco Jackson.

The Georgia Bulldogs and Clemson Tigers are competing to land a commitment from four-star safety recruit Seth Williams. Williams, who is a member of the class of 2027, was originally set to announce his commitment on July 3. However, Williams changed his mind and still has not announced his commitment.
Williams plans to make a decision prior to the start of his senior season. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound safety begins his senior season with Lakeside High School (Atlanta, Georgia) on August 21. The four-star decommitted from Clemson in April 2026. He only took official visits to Georgia and Clemson this summer as he approached his original commitment.
Georgia and Clemson have both been recruiting Williams hard. Now, all that is left is for Williams to make a decision.
"It is not really days going back-and-forth anymore," Williams said in an interview with DawgNation. "One week it might be Georgia. The next week it might be Clemson. But really for me it is more so about not keeping it personal, but knowing what I am going to do before I will go tell somebody that I am going to Clemson or Georgia."
Williams is a player worth fighting over. He is the No. 25 safety prospect in the country and the No. 22 recruit in Georgia.

(NewsNation) — A sheriff from Louisiana is resigning from his position of nearly 10 years after pleading guilty to charges related to an attack at a local restaurant.
Former St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Randy Smith pled guilty to felony second-degree battery and misdemeanor disturbing the peace by public intoxication during a recent court appearance.
Court documents obtained by NewsNation local affiliate WGNO show that on May 29, Smith approached Bobby Couvillion, a podcaster who was a frequent critic of Smith, and grabbed him and pulled him to the ground, where he repeatedly hit him.
Couvillion was hospitalized with a concussion after the attack and also had dental injuries.

Two Illinois cities are throwing their hats in the ring to become the future home of the Chicago Bears.
The Bears announced they'd be moving forward with a stadium in neighboring Indiana after Illinois lawmakers failed to pass legislation incentivizing the team to stay within the state.
But will these two new contenders catch the team's eye?
Lawmakers in McCook and a district in the Southeast Side of Chicago told WGN-TV they believed development properties in their districts would serve as good sites for a new stadium.
Formerly known as the U.S. Steel South Works Site, the first patch of property sits near South 85th Street and DuSable Lake Shore Drive.
