On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Shares of Dollar Tree (DLTR) moved higher in premarket trading after the company reported better-than-expected profit and raised its full-year earnings outlook, a sign the discount retailer is capturing more spending from stretched shoppers. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose to $1.21 last quarter, higher than analysts expected, as same-store sales grew 4.2%, Dollar Tree said in a statement. The results indicate that Dollar Tree’s low-price model — 85% of its products cost $2 or less — is resonating as strained consumers prioritize essentials and purchase fewer discretionary items.
- Shares of American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) rallied ahead of the US market open after the company posted third-quarter results that outpaced expectations and raised its outlook as the apparel chain pivots quickly from weakness earlier this year. Comparable sales are expected to rise in the low single digits for the full fiscal year, the company said in a statement, up from its previous view that they’d be flat. Revenue and earnings per share for the third quarter also surpassed the average of analyst estimates.
- Shares of Marvell Technology (MRVL) rallied in the early session after the chipmaker said during its conference call that it expects data center revenue to grow by more than 25% next fiscal year. The company also announced plans to acquire startup Celestial AI for about $3.25 billion. On a post-earnings conference call with analysts, Marvell said it’s now more bullish about revenue growth next year and predicted that custom chip sales will increase 20%. Large customers have renewed orders, and Marvell said there won’t be a repeat of previous “air pockets,” when sales in that unit have declined.
