Salesforce Slumps, American Eagle Surges, T. Rowe Rallies

On this edition of Stock Movers:- Salesforce (CRM) shares slumped today after the company projected lackluster quarterly sales growth, suggesting its artificial intelligence product isn’t yet paying off as quickly as hoped in the face of competition from emerging AI companies. Revenue will be $10.2 billion to $10.3 billion in the period ending in October, the company said Wednesday in a statement. Analysts, on average, estimated $10.3 billion. Current remaining performance obligations, a measure of bookings, will increase “slightly above” 10%, in line with analysts’ average projections. Investors have been increasingly anxious that incumbent software makers will be outshined by new AI-based vendors. Companies like Salesforce, which make applications that are charged per user, have faced the steepest skepticism because of the view that AI will take over some of the tasks they provide and reduce the workforce of their customers.- American Eagle (AEO) shares surged after the apparel company reported yesterday higher-than-expected quarterly sales and cited the success of its marketing campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney. “In just six weeks, the campaign has generated unprecedented new customer acquisition,” Chief Marketing Officer Craig Brommers said in a call with analysts. He said the company gained new shoppers in “every single county in the US” and saw sellouts of Sweeney’s signature jeans. "This momentum is national and it is pervasive,” he said. American Eagle shares gained as much as 34% on Thursday, the biggest intraday advance on record. The stock had declined 18% this year through Wednesday’s close. For the quarter ended Aug. 2, American Eagle reported same-store sales down 1%, surpassing the average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg. Revenue also outpaced expectations.- T. Rowe Price (TROW) shares rallied today after Goldman Sachs said it will invest as much as $1 billion in the asset manager. The unusual arrangement means Goldman will use its balance sheet to hold equity in T. Rowe, whose stock has tumbled more than 50% from its 2021 peak. The companies will collaborate on a range of investments for retirement savers and wealthy investors, they said in an emailed statement. Goldman will make “a series of open-market purchases” to amass up to 3.5% of T. Rowe’s stock, potentially making the Wall Street bank one of its five biggest shareholders, according to the statement. It will be Goldman’s only investment in an outside asset management firm. The tie-up is the latest sign that the biggest financial firms are competing hard to win over wealthy Americans and those with 401(k) plans on the merits of private equity, credit and infrastructure strategies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alphabet Record High, Apple Plans AI Search Engine, Salesforce Falls

On this edition of Stock Movers:- Alphabet (GOOGL) shares hit a record high after Google avoided a breakup after a US judge ruled against the government’s most onerous proposals, including a forced sale of its Chrome browser, another court victory for Big Tech in the biggest antitrust case in three decades. AI models represent a long-term threat to the search industry as chatbots and other generative AI technologies become more advanced and behave more like search engines, Judge Amit Mehta said on Tuesday. Still, the Alphabet Inc. company will have to make some concessions, including sharing online search data with rivals and ending exclusive contracts for distribution. “The emergence of GenAI changed the course of this case,” Mehta wrote in the judgment. The ruling represents a setback for the US government in its bid to curb the power of the biggest US tech companies, falling far short of the most severe remedies sought by antitrust enforcers. The finding follows the Washington-based judge’s ruling last year that Google illegally monopolized the markets for online search and search advertising. Mehta held a three-week hearing in April to determine a fix.- Apple (APPL) shares are up today. The iPhone maker announced that they are planning to launch its own artificial intelligence-powered web search tool next year, stepping up competition with OpenAI and Perplexity AI Inc. The company is working on a new system — dubbed internally as World Knowledge Answers — that will be integrated into the Siri voice assistant, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Apple has discussed also eventually adding the technology to its Safari web browser and Spotlight, which is used to search from the iPhone home screen. Apple is aiming to release the service, described by some executives as an “answer engine,” in the spring as part of a long-delayed overhaul to Siri, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans haven’t been announced. The idea is to make Siri and Apple’s operating systems a place where users can look up information from across the internet — in a similar fashion to ChatGPT, AI Overviews in Google Search and a crop of new apps. The approach will rely on large language models, or LLMs, a key technology underpinning generative AI.- Salesforce (CRM) shares fell after the company projected lackluster quarterly sales growth, suggesting its artificial intelligence product isn’t yet paying off as quickly as hoped amid competition from emerging AI companies. Revenue will be $10.2 billion to $10.3 billion in the period ending in October, the company said Wednesday in a statement. Analysts, on average, estimated $10.3 billion.

Alphabet and Apple Jumps After Google Antitrust Ruling, Nvidia Falls

On this edition of Stock Movers:- Shares of Google parent Alphabet (GOOG) jumped late Tuesday after a federal judge said Google doesn’t have to sell its popular Chrome web browser in the Justice Department’s landmark antitrust case against the search engine. The ruling allows Google to avoid one of the most severe remedy requests from the US government after the court found the company had an illegal monopoly in the search market. Judge Amit Mehta did bar Google from entering into exclusive contracts for internet search. The finding follows Mehta’s ruling last year that Google illegally monopolized the markets for online search and search advertisements. Mehta held a three-week hearing in April to determine a fix. The order is one of the most monumental court decisions affecting the tech sector in more than a quarter century, and could offer a blueprint for other judges who may end up weighing similar choices in cases against Meta Platforms Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc. In another win for Google, the judge didn’t bar the company from making payments to third parties for default browser placement.- Apple (AAPL) shares also gained in late trading as a result of the federal judges ruling that Google isn’t required to sell its Chrome web browser. Though Judge Amit Mehta ruled in an antitrust case that Google can’t enter exclusive contracts for internet search, deals that make the search provider a default option in internet browsers are still allowed. “Google is permitted to pay browser developers, like Apple,” he said in the decision. However, the partner company must promote other search engines, offer a different option in various operating systems or in privacy mode, and are allowed to make changes to the default search settings annually, Mehta wrote. “Cutting off payments from Google almost certainly will impose substantial — in some cases, crippling — downstream harms to distribution partners, related markets, and consumers, which counsels against a broad payment ban,” he said. Apple currently favors the Google search engine by giving it the best placement in Safari search bar on computer and mobile devices. Users can opt to switch to Microsoft Corp.’s Bing, DuckDuckGo and other options. Apple also changed its iOS software two years ago to allow the use of a different search engine in private mode.- Nvidia (NVDA) closed below a key technical level for the first time since May as investors continue to rotate out of the leading maker of artificial intelligence chips. The stock fell 2% to $170.74 on Tuesday, a fourth straight negative session that took it below its 50-day moving average of $171.06. Breaking under this closely watched level is seen as a negative sign of near-term momentum trends.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De minimis, a US trade provision dating to the 1930s, which eventually cleared the way for more than a billion small parcels each year, ended Friday. While winners and losers are emerging, the extra time, paperwork and money are gumming up the gears of global e-commerce and adding a fresh layer of confusion in President Donald Trump’s reordering of international trade. The value of goods subject to the “de minimis” tariff exemption — from Latin meaning “too small to matter” — has been $800 since 2016, very generous by global standards. The number of small packages entering the US duty-free exploded to nearly 1.4 billion last year, a 600% increase over the prior decade, according to US Customs and Border Protection.
