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.
