The financial markets are buzzing with renewed optimism today, October 31, 2025, as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indices registered significant gains, propelled by an electrifying third-quarter earnings report from e-commerce and cloud giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). The company's impressive financial performance, particularly the re-acceleration of its
Shares of pharmaceutical company AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) fell 3.9% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter results that were overshadowed by a steep drop in profitability and a reduced earnings forecast for the full year. Although AbbVie's quarterly revenue of $15.78 billion and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.86 both surpassed Wall Street's estimates, investors focused on underlying weaknesses. The company's operating margin fell sharply to 12.1% from 26.5% a year ago, signaling rising costs were eroding profits. More significantly, AbbVie lowered its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a midpoint of $10.63. This downward revision suggested to investors that the company's profitability challenges would persist, outweighing the positive top- and bottom-line beats for the quarter.
Shares of solar panel manufacturer First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR)
jumped 12.5% in the afternoon session after the company reported mixed results for its third quarter of 2025. The company’s revenue of $1.59 billion met Wall Street's expectations, marking a significant 79.7% increase compared to the same period last year. However, its profit of $4.24 per share slightly missed the analyst consensus of $4.32. Despite the positive year-on-year growth, First Solar lowered its full-year guidance for both revenue and earnings per share. The company now expects full-year revenue of $5.08 billion at the midpoint, below previous forecasts. The stock's positive reaction suggests investors may have focused on the strong year-over-year sales growth and positive free cash flow of $1.07 billion for the quarter.
Shares of higher education company Laureate Education (NASDAQ:LAUR)
fell 5.4% in the afternoon session after the stock's positive momentum continued as the company reported mixed third-quarter results, where a significant earnings miss and a sharp drop in net income overshadowed a revenue beat and an expanded share buyback plan.
Shares of financial services company The Bancorp (NASDAQ:TBBK) fell 15.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter results that fell short of analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share. The financial services company posted quarterly earnings of $1.18 per share on revenue of $174.6 million. These figures were disappointing, as Wall Street had anticipated earnings of $1.33 per share on revenue of $193.9 million. A key area of concern was net interest income, the profit a bank makes from its lending activities, which also came in below expectations. The significant misses on these key financial metrics signaled to investors that the company's performance was weaker than expected, leading to a sharp decline in its share price.
Shares of cloud computing and online retail behemoth Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
jumped 10.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter results that surpassed Wall Street's expectations, driven by strong growth in its cloud computing division. Amazon's net sales rose 13.4% from the previous year to $180.2 billion, beating estimates, while earnings per share came in at $1.95, also well above analysts' forecasts. A key highlight was Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's cloud unit, where sales growth accelerated to 20%, a rate not seen since 2022, reaching $33.01 billion. This strong performance from its most profitable division reassured investors. Additionally, the company's advertising business continued to show robust growth, with revenue increasing by 21.4% year-over-year. The positive results across key segments, particularly the acceleration in AWS, signaled healthy demand for the tech giant. Operating profit missed, but excluding two one-time charges, it would have beaten, and the market appeared to understand this. Overall, this print featured some key positives.
Shares of footwear company Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX)
fell 1.9% in the afternoon session after the company's third-quarter report showed declining sales and a weak forecast, which overshadowed a profit beat. Although earnings of $2.92 per share beat analyst estimates, investors focused on the negative details. Total sales fell 6.2% to $996 million. The core Crocs brand saw sales dip 2.5%, but the HEYDUDE brand's revenue dropped by a much sharper 21.6%. Adding to the concerns, the company projected that its fourth-quarter revenue would decline by approximately 8% compared to the previous year. Chief Executive Officer Andrew Rees commented that a large portion of consumers were “nervous” and “super cautious about their spending.” Following the report, Citigroup downgraded the stock to a “negative” rating, while other analysts also lowered their price targets.
Shares of blockchain infrastructure company Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) jumped 8.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter financial results that significantly topped Wall Street's estimates. The company announced quarterly revenue of $1.87 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.78 billion. Profitability was also a highlight, with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) coming in at $1.44, well ahead of the anticipated $1.17. According to the company, these strong results were driven by better-than-expected trading revenue and continued momentum in its stablecoin, USDC, which is gaining traction as a payment and treasury tool for financial institutions and corporations. Notably, the company made significant progress on the "Everything Exchange" vision. The acquisition of Deribit was pivotal, helping Coinbase and Deribit collectively achieve over $840 billion in notional derivatives trading volume. This, combined with expanding its platform to cover 90% of the total crypto asset market cap, demonstrated aggressive expansion.
Zooming out, we think this was a good print with some key areas of upside.
Shares of semi trailers and liquid transportation container manufacturer Wabash (NYSE:WNC)
fell 3.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported disappointing third-quarter financial results, missing analyst expectations and lowering its full-year forecast.
Shares of visual content marketplace Getty Images (NYSE:GETY) jumped 3.7% in the afternoon session after the company announced a global, multi-year licensing agreement with the AI-powered search and discovery platform, Perplexity. The deal provided Perplexity with access to Getty's extensive library of high-quality creative and editorial images to enhance its search tools. The images were set to be integrated through Getty's API technology. As part of the agreement, Perplexity also planned to improve how it displays imagery, including adding credits with links to the source, to help educate users on the legal use of licensed content. The market reacted with strong enthusiasm to the news, leading to a massive surge in trading volume. Reports showed that more than 34 million shares changed hands, a significant jump from the average of about 733,000.
Shares of water management company Northwest Pipe (NASDAQ:NWPX)
jumped 6.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter financial results, beating analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings.
Shares of hair care company Olaplex (NASDAQ:OLPX)
fell 0.5% in the afternoon session after Telsey Advisory Group maintained its "Market Perform" rating on the stock, while also keeping a price target that suggested significant potential upside. Although the rating did not change, the analyst firm's price target of $2.00 implied a possible 90.48% increase in the stock's value. This detail likely caught the attention of investors. The significant gap between the stock's trading price and the analyst's valuation appeared to be the main driver for the positive move, even without a formal ratings upgrade.
