Midday Stock Highlights

Here’s a look at stocks making waves during intraday trading.

Regeneron experienced a nearly 6% drop after the company confirmed its expected adjusted gross margin for the year, projecting it at 83% to 84% on product sales. Interestingly, they did announce a new $3 billion stock buyback program.

GE Healthcare Technologies saw its shares decline 12% as it adjusted its earnings forecast downward for the full year. Now, it anticipates earnings to be between $4.80 and $5 per share, down from the earlier guidance of $4.95 to $5.15. They’re also revising their free cash flow expectation to about $1.6 billion, lower than the previous prediction of around $1.7 billion.

Brinker International, the company behind Chili’s Grill & Bar, experienced a boost of around 13%. Their third-quarter adjusted earnings outperformed expectations, hitting $2.90 per share, while analysts had forecasted $2.86. They also increased the lower end of their full-year earnings forecast to predict a range of $10.60 to $10.85.

Seagate Technology saw its stock rise 12%. The company is predicting fiscal fourth-quarter sales of about $3.45 billion, plus or minus $100 million, with adjusted earnings of $5 per share, with some leeway. This is a promising contrast to what LSEG was forecasting. Their third-quarter results also beat estimates for both sales and profit.

As a result of Seagate’s performance, Western Digital shares soared more than 9%, and SanDisk rose by 7% alongside.

Mondelez International, known for Oreo cookies and Sour Patch Kids, climbed 5% after reporting an adjusted profit of $10.08 billion, translating to 67 cents a share. This was an improvement over the expected earnings of 61 cents and revenue of $9.75 billion.

In contrast, shares of Robinhood dropped nearly 14% following disappointing first-quarter results. They reported earnings of 38 cents per share on $1.07 billion in revenue, whereas expectations had been for 43 cents and $1.18 billion.

Starbucks enjoyed an impressive rise of over 8% after it raised its outlook for the fiscal year. The coffee giant is now forecasting at least a 5% increase in global same-store sales for fiscal 2026, up from the previous estimate of 3%. They also adjusted their earnings projections higher, anticipating a range between $2.25 to $2.45 per share.

Enphase Energy faced a drop of more than 11%. Their first-quarter results just barely exceeded Wall Street’s expectations with adjusted earnings of 47 cents and revenue of $282.9 million. Even so, their forecast for the quarter ranges from $280 million to $310 million, versus a consensus of close to $295 million.

Teradyne saw its stock fall 16% after releasing first-quarter results that didn’t quite meet analysts’ expectations. They reported adjusted earnings of $2.56 and revenue of $1.28 billion, with estimates being $2.11 and $1.2 billion, respectively.

NXP Semiconductors, however, surged by about 25% after reporting adjusted earnings of $3.05 per share, which topped forecasts of $2.95. Their revenue of $3.18 billion also beat expectations.

Visa shares rose 9% as well, with second-quarter adjusted earnings coming in at $3.31 per share on revenue of $11.23 billion, both of which surpassed analyst predictions.

Generac gained nearly 15% after reporting improved sales and earnings, clocking in at $1.80 per share and revenue of $1.06 billion, ahead of what analysts had expected.

On the other hand, OI Glass saw a significant drop of 15% after revising its full-year earnings outlook and reporting adjusted earnings that didn’t meet expectations.

Rush Street Interactive enjoyed a 15% rise following their report of revenue and profit growth for the first quarter. They also updated their sales forecasts for the year.

Bloom Energy stocks increased by 23% after surpassing expectations for earnings and revenue, also predicting strong full-year results ahead.

Meanwhile, Brown-Forman shares fell by 10% after confirming it had ended merger talks with Pernod Ricard due to the inability to agree on terms.

SoFi Technologies fell 13% despite a relatively inline earnings report, while Etsy shares rose nearly 8% after reporting better-than-expected adjusted EBITDA and sales figures.

Market dynamics fluctuate, but the underlying principles for building wealth in the long run stay consistent. It’s interesting how those fundamentals endure amidst all the noise.
