Robinhood, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s: What to Watch in the Stock Market Today
Wall Street indexes are wavering amid another slew of results from some of the biggest U.S. companies. Here’s what we’re watching ahead of Wednesday’s action:
- Coca-Cola reported third-quarter profit and revenue that rose above expectations and raised its full-year earnings growth view.
- McDonald’s reported third-quarter earnings and sales that beat expectations.
- Robinhood Markets shares dropped in early trading. Fees tied to stock and options trades ticked down slightly at the popular app, while revenue tied to cryptocurrency trading tumbled 78% to $51 million.
- Microsoft ‘s earnings report showed that the software giant continued to benefit from the global shift toward remote work as its cloud business boosted its revenue last quarter.
- DWAC , the blank-check company that is taking former President Donald Trump‘s social-media venture public, opened higher then quickly reversed track to shed more than 5%.
- Enphase Energy shares soared more than 20%. KeyBanc lifted its price target for the stock after the solar technology company reported higher revenue during the recent quarter.
- Google parent Alphabet was nudging higher after the search giant posted its highest quarterly revenue increase in 14 years, as smaller businesses pour money into digital ads.
- Twitter largely dodged turmoil in the digital advertising market from new Apple app privacy policies and supply-chain disruptions as it reported a 37% jump in third-quarter revenue.
- Visa beat earnings expectations amid higher payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions.
- F5 Networks reported after Tuesday’s close that revenue had grown 11% during its fiscal year.
- Boeing reported a quarterly loss as 787 Dreamliner production problems and its latest space-launch setback offset a recovery in demand for new aircraft.
- Ford and eBay are among the companies reporting earnings after Wednesday’s close.
Chart of the Day
- More than a third of the global computing power dedicated to mining bitcoin is now drawn from machines in the U.S., up from less than a fifth last spring.
