Show Notes

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Meta Platforms (META) shares jumped after the company’s advertising sales quelled Wall Street concerns about the impact of the Trump administration’s trade war, with first-quarter revenue beating expectations. Meta needs its advertising business, which makes up 98% of the company’s revenue, to continue growing in order to fund an expensive expansion in artificial intelligence.
- Eli Lilly & Co.’s (LLY) shares dropped in morning trading after CVS Health Corp. announced a plan to drop its blockbuster weight-loss drug Zepbound, making rival Wegovy more widely available. The drugmaker also cut its full-year earnings outlook, citing research and development costs.
- Kohl's (KSS) shares rise after the company fired its chief executive officer after the board found he directed the company to do millions of dollars of business with someone he had a personal relationship with on “highly unusual terms.” The company said it is starting a search to find a permanent replacement following the departure of Ashley Buchanan and that Chairman Michael Bender would serve as interim CEO, according to a statement.
