Shares of healthcare company Baxter International (NYSE:BAX) fell 2.9% in the afternoon session after the stock continued to fall as the company reported mixed third-quarter results, lowered its full-year guidance, and announced a plan to reduce its dividend. While adjusted earnings per share of $0.69 beat expectations, revenue of $2.84 billion fell short of forecasts. The positive earnings were overshadowed by several concerns. The company's gross margin plunged due to product mix shifts and higher manufacturing costs. Baxter also lowered its 2025 adjusted earnings outlook to a range of $2.35 to $2.40 and trimmed its full-year sales growth target. Adding to the issues, the company faced ongoing operational problems, including a shipment hold for its Novum IQ Large Volume Pump. Finally, Baxter said it would slash its quarterly dividend starting in January 2026 to free up cash to pay down debt.

As part of the shift, executive chairman Dan Rosensweig returned to the role of president and CEO. Chegg's plan involved cutting its workforce by 45% with the goal of reducing expenses by $100 million by 2026.

Shares of hotel and casino entertainment company Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) jumped 6.6% in the afternoon session after the company expressed optimism about a strong comeback for its Las Vegas business following a recent travel slump. This positive outlook seemed to overshadow a recent earnings report where the company missed analyst estimates. Caesars reported a loss of ($0.27) per share, which was worse than the expected ($0.11) loss. Revenue for the quarter also came in at $2.87 billion, slightly below estimates and down 0.2% from the previous year. During an earnings call, CEO Tom Reeg acknowledged that the Las Vegas properties saw a dip in room rates and occupancy over the summer. However, he also noted signs of improvement and stated that the company expected the next year to be a record-breaking one for conventions and group business, which was vital for its recovery.

Shares of manufacturing company Leggett & Platt (NYSE:LEG) fell 2.9% in the afternoon session after the stock continued to retreat as the company reported third-quarter financial results that revealed softer sales, overshadowing a significant jump in net earnings. Although net earnings rose to $127.1 million from $44.9 million in the same period a year ago, this was largely due to one-time events. The company recorded an $86.8 million gain from the sale of its Aerospace Products Group, along with other real estate gains and insurance proceeds. However, investors appeared to focus on the decline in core business activity, as net trade sales fell to $1.04 billion from $1.10 billion the previous year. The market's reaction suggested concern about the company's underlying operational performance, looking past the profits generated by asset sales.

Shares of pop culture collectibles manufacturer Funko (NASDAQ:FNKO) jumped 3.8% in the afternoon session after the company announced a merchandise collaboration with Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios for the upcoming video game 'Mouse: P.I. For Hire.'. The partnership introduced the game's main character, Jack Pepper, as a Funko Pop! vinyl figure. This new collectible captured the detective in his signature trench coat and fedora.

This collaboration came ahead of the game's planned debut on March 19, 2026, for major gaming platforms.

Shares of financial services provider CBIZ (NYSE:CBZ) jumped 2.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter results that met revenue expectations and beat earnings forecasts. During its earnings call, the company expressed satisfaction with its performance, noting that both revenue and cash flow were in line with its projections. A key point was the successful integration of its Marcum acquisition, which produced better-than-expected cost savings, known as synergies. The company also saw strong retention of key clients and employees from the deal. Looking ahead, CBIZ maintained its full-year revenue and earnings guidance, signaling confidence in its ability to sustain long-term growth.

Shares of private equity firm Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG) fell 5.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter financial results where revenue fell significantly short of analysts' expectations, alongside a slight miss on fee-related earnings. The global investment firm generated revenue of $782.5 million, a 12.6% decline from the previous year and a 20.7% miss against Wall Street's forecast of $987.3 million. Additionally, fee-related earnings, a key measure of recurring profitability for asset managers, came in at $311.9 million, narrowly missing estimates. The results were not all negative, as the firm's Assets Under Management (AUM) grew 5.9% year-over-year to $474 billion, beating expectations by 6%. However, investors appeared to focus on the significant revenue shortfall, which drove the negative sentiment around the stock.

Shares of recreational boats manufacturer Malibu Boats (NASDAQ:MBUU) fell 3.3% in the afternoon session after the stock continued to pull back as its third-quarter 2025 earnings report revealed a weak outlook that overshadowed strong results, leading to an analyst price target cut. 

Shares of data security company Varonis Systems (NASDAQ:VRNS) fell 2.7% in the afternoon session after the company announced a 5% workforce reduction and received a lower price target from an analyst, extending the slide from its recent weak earnings report. 

Shares of financial technology provider Fiserv (NYSE:FI) jumped 2.5% in the afternoon session after the stock's positive momentum continued as the company appointed a new chief financial officer to reset its course following a disappointing third-quarter earnings report. Fiserv hired Paul Todd, the former chief financial officer at rival Global Payments, to take over the job from Bob Hau. This executive change was part of a broader leadership shuffle that also included two new co-presidents. The moves came after the company released disappointing Q3 earnings and cut its financial outlook, which had caused shares to fall sharply. The management shuffle was viewed as an effort to temper the fallout from the poor results. Before this rebound, some noted the company's shares were trading at a steep discount compared to industry peers.

Shares of enterprise data capture company Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ:ZBRA) jumped 3.2% in the afternoon session after the stock rebounded as the company reported third-quarter results that surpassed its own outlook following a volatile week. For the quarter, Zebra reported a 5% year-over-year increase in sales to $1.3 billion, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 11% to $3.88. The company also provided a strong sales growth outlook for the fourth quarter of 8% to 11% and announced a plan to commit $500 million to share repurchases. Despite the positive report, the stock had previously slumped during the week after the earnings guidance fell short of some expectations, with reports noting a slowing in orders. Adding to the pressure, Citigroup had decreased its price target on the stock to $311.00 from $346.00. The stock’s recovery suggested investors shifted their focus to the solid quarterly performance and shareholder-friendly buyback plan.

Shares of digital banking company Axos Financial (NYSE:AX) fell 2.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter 2025 earnings that, while beating analyst expectations on profit, showed flat year-over-year sales. The digital banking company posted adjusted earnings of $2.07 per share, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.88, while revenue of $323.4 million also narrowly beat expectations. However, investors appeared to focus on several underlying weaknesses. The flat year-over-year revenue growth signaled a potential slowdown. Additionally, the company's tangible book value per share, a key metric for banks, missed analyst estimates. Its efficiency ratio, which measures operational performance, also fell short of expectations and worsened compared to the same quarter last year. These negative factors seemingly overshadowed the headline beats, leading to investor concern about the company's growth and profitability.

Shares of diabetes technology company Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ:TNDM) fell 6% in the afternoon session after investor concerns were sparked by a disappointing financial outlook from peer DexCom. DexCom, a major company in the glucose monitoring market, reported its third-quarter financial results. Although the company's earnings and revenue surpassed targets, its stock fell sharply by around 11% to 12%. The drop was triggered after company executives provided a growth forecast for 2026 that might not meet Wall Street's expectations and also signaled a lower margin forecast. This negative outlook from a key industry player appeared to create wider concerns, weighing on shares of related companies like Tandem Diabetes.

Shares of power generation products company Generac (NYSE:GNRC) jumped 2.8% in the afternoon session after the stock appeared to rebound from a sharp decline in the previous session that was caused by disappointing third-quarter results and a reduced forecast. 

Shares of recreational vehicle (RV) and boat retailer Camping World (NYSE:CWH) jumped 6.4% in the afternoon session after Loop Capital initiated coverage on the company with a "Buy" rating and set a price target of $17.00. The price target represented a potential upside of approximately 37% from the stock's trading price at the time of the announcement. The research firm viewed the stock's recent pullback as an attractive entry point for investors. The positive assessment from analyst Brandon Rolle provided a boost to investor confidence in the recreational vehicle retailer.

Shares of data analytics and digital solutions company ExlService Holdings (NASDAQ:EXLS) fell 3.7% in the afternoon session after the stock pulled back following the release of its third-quarter results that topped analyst expectations and raised its full-year guidance, though the update was seemingly overshadowed by concerns about competition.

Shares of payment solutions provider WEX (NYSE:WEX) fell 3.5% in the afternoon session after an analyst at UBS lowered the price target on the company's shares. The firm adjusted its price target to $172 from $185 but kept its rating at Neutral, signaling a more cautious view on the stock's near-term performance. This move came even as WEX reported third-quarter financial results that beat expectations. The company posted earnings per share of $4.59 on revenue of $691.8 million, surpassing forecasts. However, the positive results were overshadowed by concerns about ongoing challenges in the trucking sector, which impacted the company's Mobility segment and contributed to mixed investor sentiment.

Shares of education company Lincoln Educational (NASDAQ:LINC) fell 4.3% in the afternoon session after a notable increase in short-selling activity suggested some investors were betting on further price declines. Data indicated that the short sale ratio for the company rose to 14.28%. This type of activity, where investors borrow shares to sell them in the hopes of buying them back later at a lower price, pointed to anticipation of further drops in the stock's value. The downward pressure was evident as the stock price fell from a previous close of $22.50.

Shares of semiconductor materials supplier Entegris (NASDAQ:ENTG) jumped 3.9% in the afternoon session after investors re-evaluated the company's latest earnings report, focusing on strong profit margin growth over weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter guidance. The move marked a reversal from the previous trading session when the stock fell after the company released its third-quarter results. While its Q3 earnings met expectations, the revenue and profit forecast for the upcoming fourth quarter fell short of analysts' estimates. However, sentiment shifted as the market digested the report's positive details. Entegris reported a net profit margin of 9.2%, a significant improvement from 5.7% in the prior year. The company also projected annual earnings growth of over 23%, suggesting a stronger operational outlook that ultimately overshadowed the muted short-term guidance.

Shares of specialty flooring retailer Floor & Decor (NYSE:FND) fell 2.6% in the afternoon session after it gave back a portion of the previous day's gains that followed a strong third-quarter earnings report. The company's stock had initially jumped 6.2% after it beat analysts' profit expectations and announced a positive turn in a key sales metric. For the quarter, Floor & Decor posted revenue of $1.18 billion, meeting expectations, while its GAAP profit of $0.53 per share comfortably beat the consensus estimate of $0.46. Importantly, same-store sales grew 1.2% year-on-year, a significant turnaround that investors initially cheered. The subsequent drop suggests that despite the solid performance and upbeat guidance, which included an increased full-year EPS forecast, some investors may be taking profits amid broader market caution or reacting to more tempered analyst outlooks following the report.

Shares of residential solar energy company Sunrun (NASDAQ:RUN) jumped 3.6% in the afternoon session after the stock continued its recent positive momentum, building on significant gains from previous months. The session's rise was part of a broader trend that saw the stock climb nearly 13% over the previous month and a notable 99% over the previous 90 days. This run-up highlighted renewed optimism around the company's growth outlook. Investors appeared to be focusing on the recent positive performance, driving the stock higher despite its long-term total shareholder returns remaining negative over a five-year period.

Shares of heating and cooling solutions company AAON (NASDAQ:AAON) fell 3.7% in the afternoon session after Wall Street expectations pointed to a significant year-over-year decline in earnings for the company's upcoming report. The heating and air conditioning equipment maker was expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.33 per share, which represented a sharp 47.6% drop from the same period in the previous year. Although revenues were projected to rise by 3.3% to $338.05 million, the anticipated plunge in profitability appeared to worry investors, prompting a sell-off ahead of the official results.

Shares of streaming TV platform Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) jumped 7.3% in the afternoon session after investors focused on a strong third-quarter 2025 profit beat and an optimistic financial outlook. The streaming company reported earnings of $0.16 per share, a significant turnaround from a loss of $0.06 in the prior year's quarter and well above analyst estimates of $0.08. While revenue of $1.21 billion met expectations, the company's guidance impressed Wall Street. Roku projected fourth-quarter revenue and full-year adjusted EBITDA that both topped consensus forecasts. This optimistic outlook, along with a positive operating margin and a surge in free cash flow, appeared to outweigh initial concerns over a miss in total hours streamed, which had caused the stock to trade down after the initial announcement.

Shares of digital banking platform Dave (NASDAQ:DAVE) jumped 3.1% in the afternoon session after investors looked ahead to its upcoming third-quarter earnings report, which was expected to show significant growth. The company was scheduled to release its results on November 4. Analyst forecasts pointed to a substantial year-over-year increase in both earnings and revenue. Projections, based on data from multiple analysts, suggested earnings per share could see a notable rise, while revenue was anticipated to climb by more than 43% to approximately $132.8 million from $92.5 million in the same period the previous year. The positive market activity seemed to be driven by these strong expectations for the company's financial performance.

Shares of mexican fast-food chain Chipotle (NYSE:CMG) fell 3% in the afternoon session after it continued to pull back as it reported disappointing third-quarter results. The fast-casual chain’s same-store sales growth of 0.3% missed expectations, prompting the guidance reduction. Management attributed the weaker performance to a notable pullback in spending from its core younger customers, particularly those between 25 and 35. The company stated this group faced challenges including unemployment, the resumption of student loan repayments, and slower wage growth. This led them to eat at home more often rather than turning to competitors. The report also showed that profit margins edged down compared to the previous year. Following the news, which sparked the stock's steepest single-day drop in over 13 years, several analysts lowered their price targets on the shares.

Shares of material handling equipment manufacturer Columbus McKinnon (NASDAQ:CMCO) fell 6% in the afternoon session as the stock pulled back after the company reported third-quarter 2025 results that significantly beat analyst expectations for revenue and profit.

Shares of modular home and building manufacturer Champion Homes (NYSE:SKY) jumped 4.9% in the afternoon session after the homebuilding sector saw positive momentum, partly due to a favorable analyst action for a peer company. Benchmark analyst Reuben Garner maintained a 'Buy' rating on Builders FirstSource (BLDR) and increased its price target, signaling a positive outlook on companies within the building supply industry. Broader housing market trends also provided a supportive backdrop. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis noted that an ongoing housing supply shortage, coupled with higher mortgage rates, made homeownership challenging for many first-time buyers. This trend increased the demand for single-family properties, including for rentals, suggesting underlying strength in the housing market.

Shares of investment management firm Federated Hermes (NYSE:FHI) jumped 3% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong third-quarter 2025 financial results that beat Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines. The firm announced earnings per share of $1.34, which was a notable 19.2% above analyst estimates and a significant increase from $1.06 in the same period last year. Revenue also impressed, growing 14.9% year-over-year to $469.4 million, comfortably surpassing consensus estimates. The solid performance was underlined by a stable pre-tax profit margin of 29.9%, demonstrating the company's consistent profitability.

Shares of logistics solutions provider Hub Group (NASDAQ:HUBG) jumped 3.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported mixed third-quarter 2025 results, where a beat on revenue and key profitability metrics, along with an analyst price target increase, outweighed an earnings miss and a guidance cut. The logistics provider's revenue for the quarter came in at $934.5 million, surpassing analyst estimates, although it marked a 5.3% decrease year over year. However, its GAAP earnings per share of $0.47 slightly missed Wall Street's expectations of $0.48. Despite the earnings miss, investors were encouraged by a significant 7.7% beat on Adjusted EBITDA, a key measure of profitability. Looking ahead, Hub Group lowered its full-year revenue guidance to a midpoint of $3.65 billion, slightly below consensus, but raised its full-year earnings per share forecast, which topped estimates. Following the report, analysts at Evercore ISI Group maintained their "In-Line" rating but raised their price target to $38.00 from $37.00, adding to the positive sentiment.

Shares of investment banking firm Piper Sandler (NYSE:PIPR) jumped 2.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong third-quarter 2025 results that surpassed analyst expectations for both earnings and revenue. The investment bank announced adjusted earnings per share of $3.82, beating consensus estimates of $3.27. Revenue was also a bright spot, coming in at $479.3 million against estimates of $436.7 million. This represented a 33.3% increase compared to the same period last year. The firm's pre-tax profit margin also showed significant improvement, expanding to 22.4%, which was 6.9 percentage points better than the same quarter last year. Overall, it was a solid quarter for the company, with significant beats on both the top and bottom lines.

Shares of life sciences company Bio-Techne (NASDAQ:TECH) jumped 2.8% in the afternoon session after Baird adjusted its price target on the company, signaling a more positive outlook. The investment firm raised its price target on Bio-Techne to $62 from $53. The stock's rise also occurred as the broader market showed strength. Stocks rose after solid earnings reports from major tech companies like Apple and Amazon beat expectations, which seemed to spark a rally in the sector. Bio-Techne's move followed a recent period of volatility, which included a sharp surge of over 18% in the preceding month.

Stryker's revenue grew 10.2% year on year to $6.06 billion, meeting expectations, while its adjusted earnings per share of $3.19 topped consensus estimates. Despite these positive headline numbers and a slight lift in its full-year earnings guidance, investors appeared to focus on a decline in profitability. The company's operating margin contracted to 18.7% from 19.7% in the same period last year. This compression in margins likely concerned shareholders, suggesting that the market was hoping for a stronger bottom-line performance.

The new approach, which was set to debut on November 6, 2025, was designed to let everyday investors ask questions directly to company executives. This news followed a period of strong performance for the company. In the second quarter of 2025, Opendoor generated $1.6 billion in revenue and achieved $23 million in adjusted EBITDA, which marked its first profitable quarter since 2022.
