Dow, S&P 500, NASDAQ Edge, Amazon Set to Highlight Revenue

U.S. stocks earned quarterly results Thursday on Thursday as investors assessed earnings season so far, while witness Donald Trump's fast-moving policy was overhauled.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^dji) rose 0.2%, and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) also rose 0.3%. Nasdaq's technology-heavy composites (^i tocie) rose 0.1% on two consecutive winning days.

Tariff annoyance that rocked stocks earlier this week may have eased, but the market is watching any company warns of revenue. At the same time, technology and chip-related results were reviewed to understand signals about the strength of AI demand.

Investors are keenly waiting for Amazon's quarterly report after the failure of Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) cloud sales. The report will further study the following point: Large technology plans to keep a big fee in AI after disappointing results on Chip Makers Arm (ARM) and Qualcomm (QCOM) late Wednesday.

Although quarterly yields were over the full year, Ford (F) stock fell, but Ford (F) stock fell, indicating that tariffs were headwind. Its CEO warns that billions of dollars in profits in the automotive industry could be eliminated if 25% Mexico and Canada tariffs continue.

Stock Peloton (Pton) soared after fitness equipment manufacturers released better sales than expected, thanks in part to a seasonal partnership with Costco (cost). Meanwhile, oil and gas producer Carbon Protease (COP) beat production with a higher quarterly profit estimate.

Investors are resolving comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday that Trump wants to focus on lower fiscal gains to reduce borrowing costs rather than calling on the Fed to lower interest rates. The benchmark 10-year yield (^TNX) volume was about the lowest since December, at about 4.43%.

But Trump is still posing difficulties for the Fed as his tariffs can dial inflation - although policymakers are taking a "wait and see" approach before policymaking is underway. Unemployment claims jumped to 219,000 last week, exceeding the estimated 213,000. Investors are focusing on data points about financing decision-making clues, amid the risk of rising inflation.

Trend toward the pace on Thursday

Peloton(column)

Shares of bike makers surged 23% as quarterly sales were better than expected, partly due to its seasonal partnership with Costco (cost).

"Our new seasonal partnership with Costco drives more bikes + units than any other third-party retail partner in the second quarter," the company said in a shareholder letter.

Peloton's operating expenses fell 25% year-on-year. The company provides a full-year guidance range for adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow.

Qualcomm(QCOM)

Qualcomm's shares fell 5% Thursday after chipmakers' quarterly revenues were better than expected, but guidance on its licensing business disappointed Wall Street.

Qualcomm (QCOM) said revenue from licensing business revenue in the second quarter was between $1.25 billion and $1.45 billion compared to analysts' expectations.

Honeywell (honor)

After months of speculation ended by the conglomerate, Honeywell's stock fell 4%, announcing it would be divided into three publicly traded companies: Honeywell Automation, Honeywell Aerospace and Advanced Materials.

The automation business will always focus on building the technology, while aerospace is dedicated to technical cockpit technology, while advanced materials cover solutions in sectors such as healthcare.

Yahoo Finance's Anjalee Khemlani report:

Eli Lilly (Lly) reported fourth-quarter and full-year earnings for 2024 on Thursday, mostly beating Wall Street estimates, with its stock trading slightly higher. But the company missed the GLP-1 sales.

The pharmaceutical giant has made several hits and misses over the past few months. Its GLP-1 Tirzepatide drug was removed from the FDA drug shortage list, which shut down more complex pharmacy imitations. But it also made changes in the fourth quarter of 2024 last month and before earnings were released.
