YouTube Description
as posted by the channelToday's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) shares fell after the restaurant chain’s comp sales during the fourth quarter came in below the average analyst estimate. The results spurred a downgrade at Stephens.
- Walmart (WMT) stocks dropped after citing a “hiring recession” and pressures on shoppers as it forecast less growth in earnings this year than Wall Street was expecting. “There’s a whole lot of the year to go in what’s still a pretty fluid, dynamic macro backdrop,” Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey said in an interview Thursday. “When you look at whatever your favorite macro statistic to point to is — the hiring recession, the fact that student delinquencies are up, there’s still trade uncertainty — we think it’s prudent to be somewhat measured with the outlook right now.”
- Wayfair (W) shares slumped as much as 16%, hitting a four-month low intraday, after the home goods retailer said it expects mid-single-digit topline growth year-over-year for the first quarter, which Jefferies considers to be conservative and attributable to colder weather to start the year. The company also said during the conference call that it sees 1Q gross margins “likely at the low end” of the 30% to 31% guidance range.
