  Content	1 min read In this article Markets are in the midst of the busiest week for third quarter earnings, with results from several Big Tech companies highlighting the calendar. So far, the earnings season is off to a positive start. As of Oct. 24, 29% of S&P 500 companies have reported results, according to FactSet data , and analysts are expecting a 9.2% jump in earnings per share during the third quarter. If that figure holds, it would mark the ninth straight quarter of positive earnings growth but a deceleration from the 12% earnings growth reported in Q2 of this year. Expectations were slightly lower coming into the quarter, as analysts expected S&P 500 companies to report a 7.9% jump in earnings per share during the third quarter. This week, five of the "Magnificent Seven" tech companies — Microsoft MSFT Alphabet GOOG Meta META Apple AAPL ), and Amazon AMZN ) — representing about a quarter of the S&P 500, report results. Other notable companies reporting updates this week include Boeing BA ), Visa ( V Starbucks SBUX ), UnitedHealth Group ( UNH ), Verizon ( VZ ), Mastercard ( MA Chipotle CMG ), Merck & Co.

LIVE 121 updates Featured Grace O'Donnell Apple beats Q4 estimates on top and bottom lines, but iPhone revenue comes up short Apple ( AAPL ) fourth quarter earnings beat on the top and bottom lines, Yahoo Finance's Dan Howley reports, but its iPhone sales fell just short of analysts' expectations. The stock fell about 2% in extended trading. Here's what Apple reported for the fourth quarter, compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg: Earnings per share : $1.85, versus $1.77 estimated and $1.64 last year. Revenue: $102.5 billion, versus $102.1 billion estimated and $94.9 billion last year. iPhone revenue: $49.03 billion, versus $49.3 billion and $46.2 billion last year. Apple Inc. (AAPL) Howley reports: Apple's iPhone business, its most important, brought in $49.03 billion in revenue, shy of expectations of $49.3 billion. Apple's Services segment, it's second largest behind the iPhone business, saw revenue of $28.7 billion. Wall Street was antcipating $28.2 billion. The iPad and Mac segments saw revenue of $6.95 billion and $8.73 billion, respectively. Wearables revenue was $9 billion. Featured Grace O'Donnell Amazon stock spikes as AWS revenue jumps 20% year over year Amazon ( AMZN ) stock jumped 10% in the initial reaction to earnings as investors cheered AWS momentum and the Big Tech giant's earnings beat. Here's what Amazon reported compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg: Earnings per share : $1.95, versus $1.58 estimated and $1.43 last year. Revenue: $180.2 billion, versus $177.8 billion estimated and $158.9 billion last year. AWS revenue: $33 billion, versus $32.4 billion estimated. A 20% increase from $27.5 billion last year. "We continue to see strong momentum and growth across Amazon as AI drives meaningful improvements in every corner of our business," Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in the release. "AWS is growing at a pace we haven't seen since 2022, re-accelerating to 20.2% YoY." Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) Grace O'Donnell Coinbase earnings beat estimates as crypto rally boosts trading volume Coinbase ( COIN ), the largest US-based crypto exchange, reported a jump in third quarter profit on Thursday as volatility in the market, which often benefits cryptocurrencies, boosted trading volumes. The stock rose less than 1% in after-hours trading. For the third quarter, Coinbase reported subscription and services revenue of 746.7 million. For the fourth quarter, the company expects this revenue to come in between $710 million and $790 million. Reuters reports: Coinbase's transaction revenue rose to $1.05 billion during the quarter, from $572.5 million a year ago. The company reported a net income of $432.6 million, or $1.50 per share, for the three months ended September 30, compared with $75.5 million, or 28 cents per share, a year earlier. Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) Grace O'Donnell Reddit's Q3 revenue beats estimates but user growth continues to slow Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton reports: Reddit ( RDDT ) reported third quarter revenue ahead of Wall Street's forecasts on Thursday and said that its user growth slowed less than analysts expected. The social media platform said its revenue for the three months ending Sept. 30 came in at $585 million, ahead of the $549 million expected by Wall Street analysts tracked by Bloomberg. That marked a 68% increase from the year-ago period. Meanwhile, Reddit's daily active users rose 19% to 116 million during the third quarter from the same period last year. That was ahead of the 114 million expected by analysts, according to Bloomberg data. But it also represented a continued deceleration in user growth — a pattern that has concerned some on Wall Street . Reddit has reported five straight quarters of slowing growth in daily active users since its user figures jumped more than 50% in the second quarter of 2024. Reddit, Inc. (RDDT) Grace O'Donnell Earnings preview: Amazon to report Q3 earnings as Wall Street looks for improved AI growth Here's Yahoo Finance's Daniel Howley on what to expect from Amazon earnings: Amazon ( AMZN ) will report its third quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday as the tech giant looks to assure investors that its AWS is every bit the AI powerhouse as Microsoft's ( MSFT ) Azure and Google's ( GOOG GOOGL ) Google Cloud Platform. For Q3, Amazon is expected to post earnings per share (EPS) of $1.58 on revenue of $177.8 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. The company saw EPS of $1.43 and revenue of $158.9 billion in Q3 last year. AWS is expected to bring in $32.4 billion, up 18% from the $27.5 billion the segment generated in the third quarter of last year. Despite the broader market sentiment, Wedbush analyst Scott Devitt said things could be looking up for the company going forward. "We are constructive on the setup leading into the report given positive commentary around AWS growth, healthy trends for the core retail business, and strong advertiser demand," he wrote in a note to investors ahead of Amazon's earnings. Grace O'Donnell Earnings preview: Apple to report Q4 earnings after market cap touches $4 trillion Apple ( AAPL ) will release its fourth quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday, giving investors and analysts their first glimpse into how well the company's latest iPhones are selling just days after its market cap touched the $4 trillion mark, Yahoo Finance's Daniel Howley writes. Read Dan's preview of what to expect from Apple earnings after the bell on Wednesday: For the quarter, Apple is expected to report earnings per share of $1.77 on revenue of $102.1 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. That's up from the $1.64 and $94.9 billion the company saw last year. Apple's iPhone revenue is anticipated to come in at $49.3 billion, a 6.7% increase from the $46.2 billion the segment generated in Q4 2024. Importantly, Apple's fourth quarter accounts for a small portion of iPhone 17 sales, as the phones were only on sale for a few weeks ahead of the end of the financial period. Still, any revenue impact helps to provide guidance for the year ahead. Grace O'Donnell Cigna stock plunges after warning about margin pressure for pharmacy benefit services Cigna ( CI ) stock plunged more than 12% on Thursday after the health services company reaffirmed its profit guidance for 2025 but warned that its pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) segment would face margin pressures. Cigna CEO David Cordani said on the company's earnings call that its partners operating in government programs like Medicaid and Medicare are facing "significant financial and affordability pressures." Reduced government reimbursements and seniors utilizing more services through Medicare Advantage plans have created dual headwinds for health insurers this year. "As a result of these factors, we expect margin pressure within our Pharmacy Benefit Services segment over the next two years," Cordani said (PBMs manage prescription drug benefits for health insurance plans). For the third quarter, the medical care ratio (MCR) for Cigna's health insurance arm was 84.8%, slightly above analyst estimates and higher than its MCR of 82.8% a year ago. Cigna anticipates its MCR will be on the high end of its guidance range of 83.2% to 84.2% for the full year. Cigna reported earnings per share of $6.98 in Q3, beating estimates of $6.24, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue also came in ahead, with the company bringing in $69.7 billion for the quarter. The Cigna Group (CI) Grace O'Donnell Altria earnings show fewer people buying cigarettes. The stock is down 7%. Tobacco company Altria ( MO ) expects its earnings growth to decelerate in the fourth quarter as fewer people are smoking cigarettes. The company said it expects earnings per share growth to "moderate" in the fourth quarter but did not issue specific Q4 guidance. Altria adjusted its EPS guidance for the full-year by raising the low-end of its previous outlook to a new range of $5.37 to $5.45, representing a growth rate of 3.5% to 5.0% from 2024. Altria has been working to shore up its share of the smoke-free market for products like nicotine pouches, which is the biggest area of growth as consumers shift away from traditional cigarettes. Volumes of its smokeable products, like Marlboro cigarettes, declined 8.2% in the third quarter. Overall revenue declined 3% year over year to $6 billion. Earnings per share of $1.45 grew 3.6%, matching Wall Street analyst estimates, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Altria stock dropped over 7% on Thursday following the results. Year to date, the stock is up 9%, versus a nearly 17% gain for the S&P 500 ( ^GSPC Altria Group, Inc. (MO) Grace O'Donnell Crocs stock jumps as footwear maker makes progess on turnaround Crocs ( CROX ) stock popped 7% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the footwear company said it's targeting $100 million in cost savings in an effort to turn things around after profits declined by double digits over the previous year. For the third quarter, Crocs' revenue decreased 6.2% year over year, led by a 14.7% decline in wholesale retail, which was marginally offset by a 1% increase in direct-to-consumer sales. Earnings per share of $2.92 also declined 18.9% year over year. Still, both revenue and earnings per share topped analysts' expectations for the quarter. The Street was looking for EPS of $2.36 and revenue of $961 million, compared to the $996 million it reported. Crocs, Inc. (CROX) Grace O'Donnell Hershey earnings fall year over year but beat Wall Street's expectations Hershey ( HSY ) reported an earnings beat and guidance raise on Thursday, but the stock fell around 1% in premarket trading. Earnings per share of $1.36 came in above expectations for $1.30 per share, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue of $3.18 billion was above the $3.11 billion expected. The company said it expects $160 million to $170 million in tariff costs this year. The company is also grappling with soaring cocoa prices. Here's a look at net sales in each of Hershey's business segments: North America Confectionery: $2.61 billion, representing growth of 5.6% year over year North American Salty Snacks: $321 million, representing growth of 10% International: $244 million, representing growth of 12.1% Hershey sees full-year net sales growth of around 3%, up from its previous forecast of 2% growth. Year over year, Hershey expects earnings per share to decrease 36% to 37% in 2025. The Hershey Company (HSY) Jenny McCall Roblox lifts annual bookings forecast as viral games draw strong spending Roblox ( RBLX ) raised its annual bookings forecast for the third time this year, driven by strong in-game spending on titles such as "Steal a Brainrot", which has helped it surpass 150 million daily active users. Shares in Roblox fell 3% in premarket trading on Thursday. Roblox Corporation (RBLX) Reuters reports: Over the past few years, Roblox has been trying to expand the platform into a hub for socialization, advertising and ecommerce while also investing heavily into the core gaming segment. The strategy has made it one of the biggest winners in the videogame industry, with shares having more than doubled this year. Roblox's 70% increase in average daily active users — a key engagement metric — represents the company's biggest third-quarter jump in around five years. Grace O'Donnell Merck stock falls after company posts earnings beat, narrows guidance Merck ( MRK ) stock fell over 2% in premarket trading as the company's earnings beat was not enough to reassure investors, as the company braces for the expiration of key patents. The drugmaker reported earnings per share of $2.58 a share, topping Wall Street analysts' estimates of $2.35 per share. Revenue of $17.2 billion also beat estimates for $16.9 billion. Sales of Merck's blockbuster cancer immunotherapy drug Keytruda rose 10% to $8.14 billion, and sales of its hypertension drug Winrevair grew 141% to $360 million. However, Gardasil sales declined 24% to $1.7 billion. The company also said it received FDA approval for a version of Keytruda that patients can inject under the skin, as Merck barrels toward the 2028 expiration of its Keytruda patent. Merck now expects full-year sales to be between $64.5 billion and $65 billion, a narrower range than the $64.3 billion and $65.3 billion the company previously forecast. Earnings per share are expected to be between $8.93 and $8.98 for 2025, which is raised slightly. Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) Jenny McCall Comcast slows internet, TV losses amid heavy promotion cycle Comcast ( CMCSA ) managed to slow subscriber defections in its third quarter. The media company was helped by an internet price-lock guarantee and bundled plans. Shares in Comcast rose by more than 1% before the bell on Thursday. Comcast Corporation (CMCSA) Bloomberg News reports: The Philadelphia-based media company lost 104,000 net broadband subscribers in the period, fewer than the loss of 140,000 predicted by analysts. The cable provider reported a net loss of 257,000 video subscribers, according to a statement on Thursday. That beat expectations for 321,000 customer departures and was the smallest loss in several years for the segment. Comcast's internet and cable TV businesses have been under pressure from changing consumer preferences as customers cut the cord in favor of streaming services and flock to fiber and 5G home internet plans offered by Verizon Communications Inc., T-Mobile US Inc. and AT&T Inc. The competition has forced Comcast management to respond on several fronts, including offering cheaper plans at slower speeds for low-income consumers. In April, Comcast introduced a new internet pricing program, including a five-year price guarantee. The company has also stepped up promotion of its Xfinity wireless phone service. Subscribers to the five-year internet plan get a free mobile line for one year. Under a long-running deal with Verizon and increasing use of its own infrastructure, Comcast is able to undercut its competitors with a lower-priced mobile offering. Jenny McCall Eli Lilly raises full-year forecast, as weight-loss drugs demand drives third-quarter beat Eli Lilly ( LLY ) stock rose 6% on Thursday before the bell after raising its full-year profit and revenue forecast as strong appetite for its widely popular weight-loss and diabetes drugs Zepbound and Mounjaro helped it beat third-quarter earnings estimates. Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) Reuters reports: Lilly competes with Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) for the top spot in the weight-loss drug market, which is poised to reach $150 billion by the end of the decade. Investors have been keenly awaiting latest results from the drugmaker amid sky-high expectations for its GLP-1 portfolio and growing concern over potential U.S. price negotiations. Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has been striving to narrow the gap between U.S. and foreign drug prices. Under its "most favored nation" policy, the U.S. government will require drugmakers to charge patients in the country no more than in other wealthy nations. Jenny McCall Estee Lauder beats quarterly sales estimates The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (EL) Estee Lauder ( EL ) beat Wall Street estimates for first-quarter sales on Thursday in a sign that CEO Stephane de La Faverie's turnaround push was beginning to take hold, sending its shares up about 5% in premarket trading. The Clinique and M.A.C owner, which had warned in August of a $100 million tariff hit, has been shifting production closer to key markets and reducing inventory and promotions to mitigate the rising costs that have crippled the broader retail industry. Jenny McCall Stellantis posts higher revenues, trims estimates on US tariff impact Stellantis ( STLA ) reported a 13% year-on-year increase in revenue for its third quarter earnings on Thursday. The automaker's shares fell % before the bell. Stellantis N.V. (STLA) Reuters reports: The Franco-Italian-American company also said it estimated an impact from U.S. tariff policies in place as of October 30 of around 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) for 2025, compared to a previous estimate of between 1 and 1.5 billion euros. In the July-September period, net revenues at Stellantis amounted to 37.2 billion euros, mostly driven by strong performances in its main markets, North America and Europe. The result was in line with a Reuters' poll of analysts. NEW CEO FOCUSING ON THE U.S. Since he was installed in June, Filosa has battled to reverse a sales decline in the U.S. and cut excess vehicle inventories at dealers in North America, which had led to the ousting of former boss Carlos Tavares at the end of last year. Earlier this month, Stellantis said it would invest $13 billion to boost production in the U.S. and counter tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. Filosa has announced other bold moves, including booking billions of euros of pre-tax charges in the first half, bringing back popular models such as Jeep Cherokee SUV, and refocusing towards hybrid and petrol vehicles after a previous hard push towards electrification. Brian Sozzi Fascinating Chipotle earnings call I know you are probably still digesting all things Fed, but I encourage you to read Chipotle's ( CMG ) earnings call transcript before the market opens on Thursday. Alarming as it pertains to the health of the consumer. CEO Scott Boatwright talks about falling sales in October because of consumer pressure. Key comment from him: "We're seeing that significant pullback from that cohort under $100,000 annually. Also, that age group 25 to 34, which we over-index to, is about 25% of our total sales, has pulled back meaningfully. Based on our data, both purchased and in-house data, it shows that we are gaining market share, but that cohort, so meaning we're not losing them to the competition, we're losing them to grocery and food at home. That consumer is under pressure. It is one of our core consumer cohorts, and they feel the pinch, and we feel the pullback from them as well." Keith Reid-Cleveland EBay falls after giving weak profit outlook for holiday period Bloomberg reports: EBay Inc. ( EBAY ) gave a profit forecast for the fourth quarter that missed the average analyst estimate, stoking investor concerns about narrowing margins heading into the holiday shopping season. eBay Inc. (EBAY) Profit, excluding some items, will be $1.31 to $1.36 a share in the period ending in December, the company said Wednesday in a statement. Revenue will be $2.83 billion to $2.89 billion. Analysts, on average, estimated sales of $2.8 billion and per-share earnings of $1.39, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. EBay shares fell around 7% in extended trading after closing at $99.54. EBay shares are up 61% so far this year, more than triple the gains of the S&P 500 Index. Investors are looking for clues about the mood of consumers heading into gifting season. EBay is trying to embrace increased demand for used and refurbished items from shoppers eager to save money. In September it acquired Tise, a Nordic marketplace for used clothing and home goods. Grace O'Donnell Chipotle stock sinks after company cuts sales forecast for third quarter in a row Yahoo Finance's Brooke DiPalma reports: Chipotle ( CMG ) on Wednesday cut its full-year sales outlook for the third straight quarter as the company continues to deal with a traffic decline and economic pressure on its core customer. The company said in its third quarter earnings release that it now expects same-store sales to decline in the low-single-digit range this year. Wall Street expected the company's same-store sales to decline 0.7% this year, which was below Chipotle's forecast in July for sales to be flat, but was still a more conservative drop-off than what the company told investors. Chipotle stock fell as much as 8.5% on Wednesday following the news. As of Wednesday's close, the stock had lost more than 35% this year. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG) In the release, CEO Scott Boatwright said the chain continues to see "persistent macroeconomic pressures," adding that he believes it still holds an "extraordinary value proposition." In April, the company said it expected sales to rise by low single digits this year. Grace O'Donnell ServiceNow raises annual subscription revenue forecast as AI demand surges ServiceNow ( NOW ) stock jumped about 4% after hours following the company's earnings report, which beat estimates on the top and bottom lines. The cloud-based software company also raised its outlook for annual subscription revenue. ServiceNow, Inc. (NOW) Reuters reports: ServiceNow raised its annual subscription revenue forecast on Wednesday, driven by growing demand for its artificial intelligence -powered software solutions. Enterprise clients turn to AI-powered software offered by companies such as ServiceNow and Salesforce to manage their IT services and automate certain business operations in a bid to save resources. ServiceNow expects full-year subscription revenue to be between $12.84 billion and $12.85 billion, compared with its prior projection range of $12.78 billion to 12.80 billion. Analysts on average were estimating $12.79 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Recommended Stories
