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.

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.

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.
