U.S. stocks were mixed on Friday after being buoyed yesterday by a promising 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:wholesale inflation report and an executive order from President Trump that 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:stopped short of imposing additional tariffs.

The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.4% to close at a three-week high, while the S&P 500 finished the🤪 session virtually unchanged after flirting with an all-time high earlier in the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Ave🍬rage slid 0.4%. The major indexes all advanced this week; the Dow added 0.6%, the S&P 500 rose 1.5%, and the Nasdaq gained 2.6%.

Airbnb (ABNB) led S&P 500 gainers, soaring more than 14% Friday after the company 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:beat earnings estimates. Roku (ROKU) stock also 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:jumped double digits after it posted a narrower-than-expected loss. Palo Alto Networks (PANW) rebounded from an early slump to close just 1% lower after 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:issuing guidance that underwhelmed Wall Street. Chip manufacturing equipment provider Applied Materials (AMAT) led Nasdaq 100 losers, falling 8% on 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:disappointing results.

Big tech stocks were mixed Friday, with Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG), Amazon (AMZN), and Tesla (TSLA) all down marginally. Broadcom (AVGO) stock fell 1%. Apple (AAPL) rose 1% and Nvidia (NVDA) added 2%. Shares of Meta Platforms (META) rose 1% to notch the s🔯tock's 20th consecutive ♋winning session.

U.S. retail sales fell 0.9% in January, a far larger decline than economists were expecting. The drop was driven by a 3% slump in car sales, but spending declined from December in nearly every category tracked by the Census Bureau's report.

Treasury yields dropped sharply on the report, with the 10-year yield falling to 4.48% from 4.53%. The dollar also fell. Yields have retreated from their highs earlier this year as investors have adjusted their expectations for interest rate cuts and attempted to predict the impact Trump's tariff plans will have on inflation and the labor market.

Bitcoin swung as high as $98,6💮00 before retreating to trade around $97,000. Gold futures tumbled from near-record highs to $2,895 an ounce. West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures wer⛄e also down at about $70.50 a barrel.

Top S&P 500 Movers on Friday

February 14, 2025 04:59 PM EST

Advancers:

  • Airbnb (ABNB) was the top-performing stock in the S&P 500 on Friday, popping 14.5% higher after the vacation rental platform 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:topped expectations for fourth-quarter profits, bookings, and gross booking value. CEO Brian Chesky suggested that the company intends to develop the Airbnb app into a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:one-stop shop for travel needs.
  • Shares of server provider Super Micro Computer (SMCI) wrapped up a week of significant gains with a surge of 13.3%. In addition to the upbeat fiscal 2026 revenue outlook provided by Supermicro earlier this week, the company received a boost from reports on Friday that Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META) plans to make a large investment in humanoid robots. The robots would likely operate on cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and Meta uses Supermicro's servers in its data centers. Supermicro faces a deadline on Feb. 25 for the filing of its delayed annual report.
  • Fourth-quarter results from Wynn Resorts (WYNN) blew past sales and profit estimates, and shares of the hotel and casino operator jumped 10.4%. Highlights of the quarter included strong performance from the company's Wynn Palace property in Macau as well as its Las Vegas operations. The company also highlighted construction progress on its integrated resort in the United Arab Emirates, which is on track to open in March 2027.

Decliners:

  • GoDaddy (GDDY) shares tumbled 14.3%, suffering the steepest drop in the S&P 500, after the website domain company posted mixed results for the fourth quarter. Although revenue for the period edged out estimates, earnings per share (EPS) fell short of forecasts. Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald noted GoDaddy's progress on product initiatives, including AI-driven marketing and design tools, but they reduced their price target on the stock, citing valuation concerns.
  • Shares of DaVita (DVA), a provider of dialysis treatments and other kidney care services, sank 11.1%. The company provided a lackluster outlook for adjusted profits in 2025, citing elevated health care costs. Meanwhile, major investor Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.ABRK.B) trimmed its position in DaVita, adding to the pressure on the stock.
  • Applied Materials (AMAT) shares fell 8.2% following the semiconductor equipment maker's quarterly earnings release. Although the company beat sales and profit estimates for its fiscal first quarter of 2025, Applied Materials noted that recent restrictions on exports to China would 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:negatively impact sales, reducing revenue by an estimated $400 million for the full fiscal year.

Twilio Stock Drops on Weak Earnings Forecast

February 14, 2025 03:50 PM EST

Twilio (TWLO) shares slumped Friday after the company gave a weak earnings forecast as sales of its data platform fell and it took a hit from a key cus💖tomer's slowdown in payments.

Twilio reported adjusted 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:earnings per share (EPS) of $1 for the fourth quarter, slightly below analysts' estimates compiled by Visible Alpha. Revenue rose 11% year-over-year to $1.19 billion, topping forecasts.

The results came as Twilio's communications revenue jumped 12% to $1.12 billion. However, revenue from its customer data platform called Segment declined 1% to $74.1 million, with the unit posting a non-GAAP loss from operations of $10 million.&nb💜sp;The company also said it incurred $16.8 million in bad debt expenses related to Brazilian telecom firm Oi SA, “as a result of𒊎 a slowdown in their ongoing payment activity.” 

Twilio projected current-qu꧙arter EPS in the range of 88 c൲ents to 93 cents, and revenue of $1.13 billion to $1.14 billion. Analysts had been looking for EPS of 99 cents and revenue of $1.14 billion. 

Shares of Twilio were down about 15% late Friday, though even with Friday's decline, they've more than doubled in value over the past year.

These Are the Stocks Moving on Nvidia's 13F Filing

February 14, 2025 03:10 PM EST

Shares of WeRide (WRD) soared Friday, along with other tech stocks after Nvidia (NVDA) disclosed a ꦯstake in the Chinese autonomous driving company.

WeRide shares nearly doubled in value during Friday's session, after a filing Thursday showed Nvidia held 1.74 million shares as of Dec. 31. WeRide, which operates driverless vehicles in 30 cities across nine countries, made its debut on the Nasdaq in October.

The filing showed Nvidia added a stake in Nebius Group (NBIS), an AI infrastructure company, as well🍌. Shares of Nebius were up 7% in recent trading.

Meanwhile, shares of AI 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:voice technology company SoundHound AI (SOUN), delivery robot developer Serve Robotics (SERV), and medical technology firm Nano-X Imaging (NNOX) tumbled as the filing showed Nvidia divested its holdings in those companies.

 SoundHound shares dropped over 30%, Serve Robotics shares plunged more than 40%, and Nano-X fell 11%.

Nvidia also reduced its stake in chip designer Arm Holdings (ARM) to roughly 1.1 million shares from 1.96 milli♑on. ♑Its shares were down 5% Friday afternoon.

Moderna Stock Up Despite Wider-than-Expected Loss

February 14, 2025 02:28 PM EST

Moderna reported a wider loss than expected for the fourth quarter on Friday morning, and the drugmaker's sales forecast for 2025 also came in below estimates.

The COVID vaccine maker reported revenue of $966 million for the final quarter of 2024, down 65% year-over-year, but in line with what analysts had expected. However, Moderna's (MRNA) loss per share of $2.91 was more than the $2.73 per share analysts had projected, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha.

"In 2025, we remain focused on driving sales, delivering up to 10 product approvals through 2027, and expanding cost efficiencies across our business," CEO Stéphane Bancel said Friday.

In September, the company 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:said it was planning to cut up to $1.1 billion in research and development costs by 2027 by pausing or ending development of some earlier-stage drugs to focus on winning approval for drugs currently in late-stage trials. Bancel said the company expects to have cut about $1 billion in costs by the end of this year, and said Moder﷽na "anticipate[s] multiple approvals" of new drugs starting in 2025.

Moderna said Friday that it expects revenue of $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion in 2025, well below the $3.26 billion analyst consensus. The drugmaker said it expects just $200 million of revenue in the first half of the year, "reflecting the seasonality of its respiratory business," while analysts had expected $207 million in revenue in just the first quarter.

Entering 2025, Moderna has two products, its COVID vaccine and a vaccine to prevent the respiratory disease RSV in adults 60 and older. The company said it has recently submitted approval requests for its "next generation" COVID vaccine, a combination vaccine for COVID and the flu, and an RSV vaccine for "high-risk adults aged 18 to 59."

Moderna shares were up more than 2% Friday afternoon, and have lost more than 60% of their 😼value in the las꧑t 12 months.

Intel Stock Drops at the End✨ of a Rip-Roaring Week

February 14, 2025 01:35 PM EST

Intel (INTC) early Friday was on track to notch it♛s best weeklong stretch in nearly 40 years before t🤡he rally sputtered.

Shares were down 3% in recent trading. That still had the stock up 22% since the start of the week—a solid return, though less than the near 30% weekly gain seen earlier Friday, which would have marked the stock's best five-day stretch since 1987.

Intel was one of the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500 last year, when shares 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:lost 60% of their value and the storied American chipmaker was dropped from the blue-chip Dow. The company has struggled to keep up with competitors in the race to develop AI chips and has🍎 invested billions in an uncertain turnaround plan.ꦉ

Shares 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:got a boost early this week when Vice President JD Vance, speaking at an AI conference in Paris, said the Trump administration would take steps to ensure AI chips are designed and manufactured in the U.S. Intel’s foundry business, which manufactures chips for third parties, could benefit from Trump forcing tech companies to fabricate their tech domestically. Intel Foundry was a big bet of former CEO Pat Gelsinger that lost more than $13 billion last year.

The stock got another boost this week from speculation that Intel may partner w♊ith Taiwan Semiconductor Manufactu൩ring Co. (TSM), the world’s largest chip manufacturer and major Intel Foundry competitor, to fabricate chips in the U.S. and benefit from protectionist policies implemented by Trump and 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:former president Joe Biden

The TSMC rumor was just the latest in a series of rumored tie-ups. Qualcomm (QCOM) reportedly approached Intel last year to 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:propose a takeover, and analysts have speculated that Broadcom (AVGO澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:could be interested in acquiring the company.

Palo Alto Networks Stocksꩵ Slips as Results Narrowly Top Estimates

February 14, 2025 12:40 PM EST

Shares of Palo Alto Networks fell Friday despite the cybersecurity firm's latest quarter results for the latest quarter coming in just above estimates.

After the bell Thursday, Palo Alto (PANW) reported $0.81 in fiscal second-quarter adjusted earnings per share on $2.26 billion in revenue for the quarter, each just above what analysts had expected, per estimates compiled by Visible Alpha.

The company projected revenue of $2.26 billion to $2.29 billion for the third quarter, along with adjusted EPS of $0.76 to $0.77, each roughly in line with analyst estimates. Palo Alto's full-year forecasts for revenue, lifted slightly from the first quarter, and adjusted EPS were also in line with analyst consensus.

The firm's second-quarter results were "fueled by customers adopting technology driven by the imperative of AI, including cloud investment and infrastructure modernization," CEO Nikesh Arora said in a statement.

Also on Thursday, Palo Alto Networks said it was expanding its board of directors to 11 members from nine previously with the addition of former Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and former CEO of Swiss banking giant UBS Group (UBS) Ralph Hamers.

Palo Alto shares were down more than 3% Friday, after entering the day up just under 10ও% over the last 12 months.ꦉ

DraftKings Stock Soars on Strong Earnings, Outlo𒊎ok

February 14, 2025 11:52 AM EST

DraftKings (DKNG) shares soared Friday after the online sports betting platform topped profit estimates and boosted its outlook as it added custﷺomers and benefited from its purchase of rival Jackpocket.

The company raised the lower end of its revenue forecast for 2025 to $6.3 billion to $6.6 billion, from $6.2 billion to $6.6 billion previously.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, DraftKings posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 14 cents, double the analyst consensus compil🐽ed by Visible Alphaꦏ. Revenue rose 13.2% year-over-year to $1.39 billion, just slightly below projections.

As with rival Flutter (FLUT), which operates the FanDuel betting platform, DraftKin🎀gs suggested its performance was held back by bettors winning too many wagers on National Football League (NFL) games.

Applied Materials Stock Slips on ꦦPredict🔯ed China Sales Headwinds

February 14, 2025 11:09 AM EST

Shares of Applied Materials fell Friday morning after the company's projections for current quarter sales left room for disappointment.

Applied Materials' (AMAT) results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 came in after the bell Thursday, with the company reporting $7.17 billion in revenue and $2.38 in adjusted earnings per share—each topping estimates.

Despite the estimate-topping quarter, the maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment said its sales could be negatively impacted by recent limitations on exports. The company said it expects second-quarter revenue of $7.1 billionꦺ, roughly in line with the $7.16 billion analyst consensus, though the company set the sales range at $400 million above or below that midpoint.

"The ability of U.S. companies to serve the China market is constrained and has been further limited by updated trade rules announced in December and January," CEO Gary Dickerson said in Thursday's earnings call. Dickerson said the company expects to face a headwind of about $400 million in sales in fiscal 2025 because of the new rules, according to a transcript of prepared remarks published ahead of the earnings call.

In December, the U.S. government announced new restrictions on the export of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and software, citing possible military and national security concerns.

Sales in China were $2.24 billion in the quarter, nearly a third of the company's total revenue compared to $3 billion in sales for 45% of revenue the same time last year. China sales also declined 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:last quarter, after analysts had 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:said a slowdown in demand for certain tech hardware product꧃s in China could affect Applied Materials and other companies🔯.

Applied Materials shares were down more than 6% F🐷riday morning.
