Best Buy Falls on Tariff Worries, Salesforce Slumps, Uber Slides

Stock Movers

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Best Buy (BBY) reduced its sales and profit outlook in response to US tariffs, sending shares lower. But in a sign of the trade war’s volatility, that forecast might soon be outdated after a US court on Wednesday struck down many of President Donald Trump’s levies. For what it’s worth, the company said comparable sales for the year will gain as much as 1%, down from a previous forecast of as much as 2%, assuming tariffs remain at current levels before any court-ordered changes. The retailer also cut its view on adjusted earnings.

- Salesforce (CRM) reported signs of traction in its new AI products, but that wasn’t enough to ease investor anxieties over a long trend of slowing revenue growth. Annual recurring revenue for Salesforce’s division that includes AI-focused tools such as data organization and agents crossed $1 billion in the period ended April 30, the company said. That’s up from $900 million in the previous quarter and “points to consistent AI demand,” Anurag Rana, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, wrote in a note after the results.

- Uber (UBER) shares tumbled on the word that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been testing self-driving Model Y cars on public streets in Austin. Tesla is poised to begin its long-awaited robotaxi service in Austin on June 12, according to a person familiar with the matter, a milestone in Elon Musk’s plan to reshape the company around driverless vehicles and artificial intelligence.
