Listen Later

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.

On this episode of Stock Movers, we take a look at some of the biggest gainers and decliners or the week:

- Alphabet (GOOGL) shares soared 10% to a record after the company reported strong demand for its cloud and artificial intelligence offerings, signaling that unprecedented investments in AI infrastructure are paying off. Google’s parent company said first-quarter revenue, excluding partner payouts, was $94.7 billion, exceeding analysts’ expectations of $91.6 billion. The company reported earnings per share of $5.11, nearing double Wall Street’s had projected.

- Clorox (CLX) shares slumped as much as 10% on Friday, the most intraday since Feb. 2022, after the household products company’s organic sales missed consensus expectations for the third quarter and management cut its annual forecast. Cat litter and salad dressing categories performed poorly during the quarter. Given market share pressures and a constrained consumer, analysts see limited space for price increases.

- Centene (CNC)’s first-quarter profit exceeded Wall Street expectations and the company raised its outlook for the year in the latest sign of recovery for a US health insurance sector coming off a terrible year. Centene shares rose as much as 11% in New York, the most intraday since October.
