- Apple's Strong Performance: Apple reported a fiscal first-quarter earnings per share of $2.84, exceeding the $2.67 expected by analysts, with revenue hitting $143.76 billion, significantly above the $138.48 billion forecast, driven by robust sales of the iPhone 17 models, despite a 1.3% drop in share price.
- Metals Miners Decline: Shares of Newmont and Freeport-McMoRan fell 9.6% and 7.6%, respectively, primarily due to a decline in gold and silver prices, reflecting market concerns over metal demand, which could impact future investment decisions.
- Chevron's Earnings Beat: Chevron's fourth-quarter adjusted earnings reached $1.52 per share, surpassing the $1.45 consensus from analysts, bolstered by record oil production, leading to a share price increase of over 1%, indicating strong performance in the oil market.
- Deckers' Positive Outlook: Deckers Outdoor's 2026 outlook projects earnings per share between $6.80 and $6.85, with revenue expectations of $5.4 billion to $5.43 billion, both exceeding market expectations, resulting in a 16.1% surge in share price.
