Shares of social network operator Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META)
jumped 5.3% in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded, with stocks recouping some more of the post-tariff losses as the Bureau of Labor Statistics data revealed a resilient labor market. Non-farm payrolls rose by 177,000 in April 2025, significantly above the consensus forecast of 133,000.
Shares of lifting and material handling equipment company Terex (NYSE:TEX)
jumped 10.9% in the afternoon session after the company reported impressive first quarter 2025 results with EBITDA exceeding analysts' expectations and full-year EBITDA and EPS guidance topping Wall Street's estimates. The Environmental Solutions segment stood out, delivering roughly 20% adjusted margin and making up one-third of total revenue, which provided much-needed stability amid weakness in other segments. On the other hand, its revenue fell slightly short of Wall Street's estimates. Overall, this print was mixed but still had some key positives.
Shares of higher education company Perdoceo Education (NASDAQ:PRDO) jumped 22.5% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results with revenue and EPS exceeding Wall Street's estimates. In addition, next quarter's EPS guidance topped analysts' expectations. What's notable is the 16.7% growth in total student enrolment, indicating that the demand remained robust. Overall, we think this was a solid quarter with some key areas of upside.
Shares of iPhone and iPad maker Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) fell 4.1% in the morning session after the company reported mixed first-quarter 2025 (fiscal Q2) results, which narrowly topped analysts' revenue expectations, amid tariff concerns. CEO Tim Cook stated during the earnings call that anticipated tariffs could cost the company around $900 million in the current quarter (about 1% of total revenue). Also, sales in China saw a decline of 2%. This is a crucial market for Apple, and any signs of weakness there are usually viewed negatively. Overall, this print was decent, but the areas below expectations seem to be driving the move.
Shares of live sports and TV streaming service fuboTV (NYSE:FUBO)
fell 14.9% in the morning session after the company reported underwhelming first quarter 2025 results with revenue missing analysts' estimates significantly.
Shares of internet, cable TV, and phone provider Cable One (NYSE:CABO)
fell 36.7% in the morning session after the company reported weak first quarter 2025 results: Its number of residential data subscribers missed along with its revenue, EPS, and EBITDA. Sales fell nearly 6% from the same quarter last year, dragged by a 4.5% drop in residential data revenue and a nearly 16% plunge in residential video revenue, as Cable One neared the end of its legacy video product phase. Also, management suspended the dividend to conserve over $200 million over the next three years, signaling a pivot toward debt reduction and internal investment over shareholder returns. Overall, this was a nightmare quarter.
Shares of american restaurant chain BJ’s Restaurants (NASDAQ:BJRI)
jumped 12.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first-quarter 2025 results, which significantly beat analysts' EPS and EBITDA expectations. Sales were in line, up just over 3% year-on-year, a modest gain reflecting limited same-store sales growth of 1.7%, while a 2.7% increase in guest traffic carried most of the weight. Zooming out, we think this was a solid print.
