Cooper Companies saw a notable decline in its stock value, falling nearly 7% after missing Wall Street's revenue expectations for the fiscal first quarter. The medical device company's reported revenue of $964.7 million fell short of the $978.1 million predicted by analysts polled by FactSet. This shortfall raised concerns among investors, contributing to the stock's decline.
Meanwhile, Hewlett Packard Enterprise issued tepid guidance for the fiscal second quarter, predicting adjusted earnings between 28 cents to 34 cents per share on revenue ranging from $7.2 billion to $7.6 billion. This forecast fell short of analyst expectations, leading to a 17% drop in the company's shares during extended trading. Analysts surveyed by LSEG had anticipated earnings of 50 cents per share and revenue of $7.92 billion.
In contrast, Mobileye Global experienced a positive shift in its stock performance. Shares of the autonomous driving technology company rose by over 3% in after-hours trading. The surge followed a regulatory filing that revealed Steve Cohen's hedge fund, Point72, had acquired a 5% stake in Mobileye. This investment signaled confidence in the company’s potential growth, boosting investor morale.
Broadcom also delivered positive news, issuing upbeat guidance for the current quarter. The chip stock saw a remarkable gain of 17% after surpassing analyst expectations on both top and bottom lines in its fiscal first-quarter results. Such robust performance strengthened Broadcom's market position and investor confidence.
On the downside, Samsara, an industrial "Internet of Things" company, saw its stock slide by 4%. The reasons for this decline were not specified, but it reflects a cautious sentiment among investors. Despite this, same-store sales grew by 3%, exceeding the 1% anticipated by analysts surveyed by StreetAccount.
Gap added a positive note to the market with a significant surge of 15% in its stock value. The clothing retailer outperformed Wall Street's estimates in its fiscal fourth quarter, posting earnings of 54 cents per share on revenue of $4.15 billion. Analysts polled by LSEG had expected earnings of 37 cents per share on revenue of $4.07 billion, making Gap’s performance noteworthy.
