Middle Coast Investing noted in its second-quarter 2026 investor letter that Corpay, Inc. posted a triple beat—surpassing analyst estimates for the prior quarter, issuing better-than-expected current-quarter guidance, and raising its full-year outlook. Despite the stock jumping 12.5% after earnings, it gave back about half of those gains and ended the quarter up roughly 15%, merely in line with the broader market. The firm suggested Corpay may simply be out of the current winner's basket, as market performance continues to be driven by trends and baskets rather than company fundamentals. The portfolio returned 12.5% in the second quarter versus 14.9% for the S&P 500 Index, while year-to-date it returned 7.7% compared to 9.6% for the index.
