SiriusXM will report its second quarter 2026 operating and financial results on Thursday, July 30, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET, according to a company announcement, with an investor conference call to follow the release.
Analyst expectations for the earnings call are modest. The company is projected to report earnings per share of approximately $0.78 for the quarter, according to Zacks Investment Research.
The upcoming report arrives as SiriusXM continues to demonstrate profitability gains despite a stagnant subscriber base. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported net income of $245 million, a 20% increase year-over-year, with diluted earnings per share climbing 22% to $0.72 from $0.59 in the prior year period, according to the company’s investor relations filings. Total revenue edged up 1% to $2.09 billion.
On the operational front, SiriusXM achieved a notable milestone in Q1 2026: self-pay monthly churn fell to approximately 1.5%, marking the lowest first-quarter level in the company’s history, driven primarily by lower vehicle-related and non-pay churn, according to SEC filings. This metric signals improved subscriber retention despite pricing increases the company implemented in February 2026.
For the full year 2026, SiriusXM has reaffirmed guidance of approximately $8.5 billion in revenue, $2.6 billion in adjusted EBITDA, and $1.35 billion in free cash flow. The company is targeting $1.5 billion in free cash flow by 2027, reflecting a focus on cash generation and financial discipline, according to Yahoo Finance and Seeking Alpha.
In Q1, free cash flow more than tripled year-over-year to $171 million from $56 million in the prior year period, driven by higher adjusted EBITDA and disciplined capital allocation, the company reported.
