Episode description

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.

On this episode of stock movers: 

-Apple (AAPL) shares are little changed after the tech giant delivered record quarterly sales and a better-than-anticipated forecast for the current period, even as the company warned that rising component costs are threatening to squeeze margins. Revenue will rise 13% to 16% in the second quarter, which runs through March, the company said Thursday during a conference call with analysts. That exceeded the 10% projected by Wall Street — showing that Apple can maintain momentum after an iPhone-fueled sales surge in the December quarter.

-Sandisk (SNDK) shares rally after the computer hardware and storage company’s second-quarter revenue beat expectations. The company said it sees adjusted earnings per share between $12 and $14 in the third quarter. Wall Street had expected $4.95 a share, spurring several analysts to raise their ratings and price targets for the stock, which is up roughly 160% to start the year and around $1,600% since it went public last February.

-Verizon (VZ) shares rise after the wireless provider reported its biggest gain in mobile phone subscribers since 2019 and announced plans to buy back as much as $25 billion in shares, signaling turnaround efforts under new Chief Executive Officer Dan Schulman are starting to bear fruit.

Speaker 3

I'm Carol Messer along with Tim Stanebeck. Let's get to some stocks on the move. Nor Melnda is in the house joining us with some of the names on the moves. She of course following the markets over at the Bloomberg TV side, but she also like joins everybody whenever we want her to.

Speaker 4

What she wants us to.

Speaker 3

Good to have you here. What are you watching?

Speaker 4

So talking about some stocks that have been flipping around. I'm looking at shares of Apple to your AAPL.

Speaker 1

This is what I was talking about.

Speaker 4

An earlier decliner.

Speaker 1

This was my first decliner. But now I'm going to have to change it. Now you have to tail it.

Speaker 3

I am not making it a gainer.

Speaker 4

It's only one, I know, but still earlier down as much as two point four percent. Now we're seeing the stock up as around zero point two percent.

Speaker 3

Yeah right, that's it's a little bit of a swing almost yeah, not quite three percent, right.

Speaker 4

Right, So interesting action that we're seeing here in the trade. But earlier what we were really looking at is the fact that the company reported its largest first quarter sales growth in over four years. So you saw the strict really trying to digest what this means against the fact that the company was warning that rising component cost could potentially squeeze margins. So that's what you were really seeing

the stock moving towards the downside. In particular the company so that it expects more of an impact to gross margins due to rising memory prices. So that's what you saw a lot of people zeroing in on earlier. But I mean, of course we are seeing this sales growth, so maybe that's what's kind of tilting people to the upside as we are sitting here in the afternoon seeing it trying to inch closer into the green right now, As you were saying.

Speaker 3

Carol, are you gonna hold on to it?

Speaker 4

What are we doing? Is it going to stay as a decliner?

Speaker 3

What?

Speaker 1

It all depends on what Apple does by the end of the day. But Kayla Cork is also a big decliner today, so we'll check that one out. Actually related to Apple today is your next stock that's that's moving today, absolutely, And that's certainly what you had to say about Memory prices going on.

Speaker 4

Yeah, sand Disk shares are on a tear, obsessed with I'm just looking at the action here insane. I mean, the stock is hitting a record high. This is ticker SNDK. We did see a pairings of its gains, but earlier surge as much as twenty five percent. Now take a look at a Ureter date base of the S and P five hundred and you'll see that this is a stock that is a number one best performing stock by a percentage basis in the S and P five hundred.

It's holding on to that number one slot here. But we saw that revenue and the outlook beat expectations here for the stock. But the stock also serves more than sixteen hundred percent. That's one six zero zero percent since at iPod last year. So it's really been on a tear and we're certainly seeing the stock really Wall Street rally behind it, seeing a lot of optimism.

Speaker 3

Like these are the companies that you don't you know, weren't initially the ones we were talking about in terms of AI connections and so forth. But it's definitely this one Western Digital we've really seen to move to the side. This is an interesting one go.

Speaker 4

To Risin for Verizon ticker VZ. Now this sock. It did see its biggest gain in mobile phone subscribers since twenty nineteen. I'm looking at the action right now. Shares up about eleven percent as we speak. The company said that it's planning a buyback of as much as twenty five billion dollars in shares. So the stock earlier surging for its best day since two thousand and eight, shares rising as much as twelve percent on the day. This is the second best performing stock in the S and

P five hundred. So Street clearly liken US news.
