Intel Soars, Applied Materials Tumbles, TeraWulf Rises

On this edition of Stock Movers: - Intel (INTC) shares jumped today after Bloomberg News reported that the Trump administration is in talks with Intel Corp. to have the US government potentially take a stake in the beleaguered chipmaker, according to people familiar with the plan, in the latest sign of the White House’s willingness to blur the lines between state and industry. The deal would help shore up Intel’s planned factory hub in Ohio, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. The company had once promised to turn that site into the world’s largest chipmaking facility, though it’s been repeatedly delayed. The size of the potential stake isn’t clear. The plans stem from a meeting this week between President Donald Trump and Intel Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan, the people said. While the details are still being sorted, the idea is for the US government to pay for the stake, one of the people said. Another cautioned that the plans remain fluid. - Applied Materials (AMAT) shares tumbled today as the largest American producer of chipmaking gear, plunged in late trading after giving a disappointing sales and profit forecast, renewing concerns that the US trade dispute with China is weighing on demand. Revenue will be approximately $6.7 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, the company said in a statement Thursday. Analysts had estimated $7.32 billion on average. Profit will be about $2.11 a share, excluding some items, compared with a projection of $2.38. The company is seeing less demand from customers in China, Chief Executive Officer Gary Dickerson said in an interview. It also faces delays in approval for exporting technology to that country, he said. Moreover, large customers are putting off some purchases in the face of prolonged negotiations around tariffs and other economic issues. - TeraWulf (WULF) shares rose as much as 53%, the most since March 2022, after Google took the equivalent of an around 8% stake in the company as the Bitcoin miner and data center operator signed two 10-year high-performance computing co-location deals with AI cloud platform operator Fluidstack.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Deere Plunges, Tapestry Sinks, Bullish Soars

On this edition of Stock Movers:- Shares of Deere & Co. (DE) tumbled the most in over three years as the world’s biggest farm machinery maker pared its annual earnings outlook with lower grain prices curbing growers’ spending. The farm-machinery sector has been expected to bottom out this year, but a bigger-than-expected American corn harvest and lagging demand for crops like soybeans amid President Donald Trump’s trade wars may be shifting that timeline. Sentiment among grain and livestock producers eased earlier this month as crop prices declined.- Tapestry (TPR) shares fell as much as 18%, the biggest intraday drop since 2020. This is because a mix of tariff costs and weakness at its Kate Spade brand sent investors fleeing on Thursday. The company’s Coach brand is still doing well, but US President Donald Trump’s tariffs weighed on a profit outlook that trailed estimates. Meanwhile, the lackluster performance of Kate Spade led Tapestry to write down its value by $855 million. Tapestry said it’s expecting earnings per diluted share between $5.30 to $5.45 in the current fiscal year. That would be a 4% to 7% increase versus the prior year. Analysts in a Bloomberg survey were expecting the profit metric to reach $5.49.- Bullish (BLSH) shares soared a day after the crypto exchange operator and CoinDesk owner raised $1.1 billion in an initial public offering.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this edition of Stock Movers:- Bullish (BLSH) shares jumped 84% from the IPO price after the digital-asset exchange operator and owner of media outlet CoinDesk raised $1.1 billion in an initial public offering. Shares of the Cayman Islands-based company closed at $68 each on Wednesday in New York, nearly doubling its IPO price of $37 apiece. The offering was upsized earlier in the week to 30 million shares, and the price range was increased. The trading gives Bullish a market value of $9.9 billion based on the outstanding shares listed in its filing. The IPO ended more than 20 times oversubscribed, with about a third of orders receiving no shares at all, people familiar with the matter have said. - Walmart (WMT), Instacart (CART), and Kroger (KR) shares fell after Amazon.com Inc. announced plans to offer same-day grocery delivery in 2,300 cities by the end of the year.

Same-day grocery delivery is free for Amazon Prime subscribers on orders over $25 in most cities, it said. For non-members, the service carries a $12.99 fee, regardless of order size.- CoreWeave (CRWV) shares tumbled after the cloud-computing provider reported a wider quarterly loss and gave a disappointing earnings outlook, raising concerns about its rapid AI data center expansion pressuring profit margins. Third-quarter operating income will be $160 million to $190 million, the company said Tuesday, underwhelming investors looking to justify a near-quadrupling of its share price since its March debut. Costs are surging, and CoreWeave posted a loss of $131 million for the June quarter — more than 20 times bigger than the loss a year earlier.- Cisco Systems (CSCO) shares fell after the company gave a lukewarm forecast for the current fiscal year, disappointing investors who hoped for a boost from massive AI data center projects. Sales will be between $59 billion and $60 billion in the fiscal year that runs through July 2026, the company said in a statement Wednesday. At the midpoint, that’s roughly in line with the average Wall Street estimate of $59.5 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Some analysts, though, we’re looking for more than $61 billion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Deep Dive: Disney Earnings

Walt Disney Co. disappointed Wall Street with a tepid full-year profit forecast, weighed down by its struggling movie and TV businesses.   Earnings should increase 18% to $5.85 share in fiscal 2025, excluding some costs, the company said Wednesday. That outlook was less than some analysts had been expecting and put a damper on a mostly positive third-quarter report that showed strength in theme parks and streaming, two growth businesses.    Disney expects to generate $1.3 billion of operating income from its direct-to-consumer streaming business in fiscal 2025, which ends in September, up from a previous forecast of $1 billion. Management also expects operating income from the parks business to increase 8% in the current fiscal year — at the top end of previous guidance.   Revenue from Disney’s traditional TV networks, which include ABC and National Geographic, fell 15% in the quarter to $2.27 billion. Operating income tumbled 28% to $697 million due to a decline in viewers and lower advertising rates.    The unit that includes the Disney film studios lost $21 million in the quarter, hurt by the disappointing theatrical performance of the Pixar film Elio and Thunderbolts* from Marvel Studios. The loss was likely due to write downs associated with those features, analysts at Barclays Research wrote in a note.   For analysis, Paul Sweeney and Isabelle Lee speak with Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Analyst Geetha Ranganathan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Weekly Roundup: Apple, Eli Lilly, Trade Desk

On this episode of Stock Movers:- Apple (AAPL) accounted for about a third of of the S&P 500’s weekly gain after announcing a further massive investment in US manufacturing, which should mitigate tariff costs over the longer term. - Eli Lilly (LLY) had its worst week since 2008 after investors reacted to disappointing data on weight loss pill. The new weight-loss pill had lower weight loss and higher rates of nausea and vomiting than anticipated in a study, according to the company. BMO analyst Evan Seigerman said of Lilly's pill, "What this shows to me is that it's still a good drug, but it's bound by the limitations of being a GLP-1" drug. Lilly Chief Scientific Medical Officer Daniel Skovronsky said, "I know Wall Street has kind of focused on the exact numbers here and making cross-trial comparisons, but I don't think that carries over to the real world at all," in response to the study's results. - Trade Desk (TTD) was down 39% today as analysts downgraded the stock amid growing fears that its advertising technology will be impacted by Amazon's offerings. The central concern for analysts is improvements Amazon has made to its demand-side platform, where advertisers buy ad space designed to reach relevant online audiences. According to Richard Greenfield, an analyst at Lightshed Partners, Trade Desk Chief Executive Officer Jeff Green's comments dismissing competition from Amazon "should scare any investor who owns Trade Desk stock or is thinking about investing in it".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
