Pagaya Technologies (PGY) crushes Q2 2026 with a 48% EPS beat
As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on July 30, 2026.

Pagaya reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of $1.07 against a Wall Street estimate of $0.72, a beat of roughly 48%. Revenue came in at $387 million, topping estimates of $357.1 million by about 8%. The results were driven by the company's AI-powered auto lending vertical, with connected dealership penetration reaching approximately 40% of the U.S. market.
The strong quarter gave management enough confidence to raise full-year profit guidance by 25%. That upward revision is a notable signal: Pagaya has had an uneven recent track record, missing EPS estimates in both Q4 2024 and Q2 2025, making back-to-back beats in Q1 and Q2 2026 — alongside a fresh guidance lift — a meaningful shift in momentum.

Investors will be watching whether Pagaya's auto lending penetration can continue expanding and whether the raised full-year guidance proves conservative or a ceiling.
