Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $2.5 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2026 versus the comparable fiscal 2025 period. The increase primarily reflected changes in working capital, including vendor-payment timing and inventory management. Operating cash flow also benefited from fewer income-tax payments because the fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 estimated federal tax payment had been deferred to the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
