Stock Movers

On this edition of Stock Movers:

- Home Depot (HD) shares rise today after the company's sales returned to growth in the second quarter as shoppers invested in smaller projects, such as lighting and gardening. The world’s largest home-improvement retailer said comparable sales grew 1% in the quarter, modestly below what analysts had estimated but an improvement from a 3.3% slump a year ago. “These may be shallow gains, but they show a material strengthening over the last quarter and provide confidence that the slump in home improvement is finally over,” GlobalData analyst Neil Saunders wrote in a note.

- Intel (INTC) shares are higher today after Softbank agreed to take a $2 billion stake in the chipmaker. That's after a report that the Trump administration is in discussions to take a stake of about 10% in Intel, possibly by converting grants made to the company under the US Chips and Science Act into equity. That could allow Intel to tap about $10 billion in capital as Tan works out a strategy for revival.

- Nvidia (NVDA) shares fell today, which is one of the biggest casualties of the tech selloff today. The company is reporting second quarter earnings next week, with analysts expecting earnings growth of 44% and a 53% surge in revenue to $45.9 billion.

- Intel (INTC) shares were higher today continuing a month-long rally. Intel bulls are finally being rewarded for their patience. But the stock’s sudden rebound comes with a worrying side-effect: a valuation so high its most recent precedent is from the dot-com era more than two decades ago.
Shares of the struggling chipmaker have rallied 28% this month, adding about $24 billion in market value, on reports that the US government is in talks for a potential equity stake, as well as plans for a $2 billion investment from Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp. The jump has Intel trading at 53 times profits projected over the next 12 months, the highest since early 2002, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

- Palo Alto (PANW) jumped on a stronger-than-expected annual forecast, as the company seeks to provide customers with a bundle of AI-enabled cybersecurity products to fend off attacks. Fiscal-year sales will be about $10.5 billion, the company said Monday in a statement. Analysts, on average, estimated $10.4 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

- Nvidia (NVDA) shares dropped nearly 3.5% in a trading day that saw tech stocks slide across the board. The Nasdaq 100 closed down 1.4% - its second-worst drop since April’s tariff shock.

- Intel (INTC) shares rallied today after SoftBank agreed to buy $2 billion of the chipmaker’s stock. Analysts see the news as a positive, but continue to see a number of questions surrounding the company’s prospects. Meantime, less than two weeks after President Donald Trump called for the ouster of Intel Corp.’s Lip-Bu Tan, the company’s chief executive officer has a shot at securing billions of dollars in fresh capital that could help him turn around the troubled US chipmaker. The Trump administration is in discussions to take a stake of about 10% in Intel, possibly by converting grants made to the company under the US Chips and Science Act into equity. That could allow Intel to tap about $10 billion in capital as Tan works out a strategy for revival.

- Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) shares plunged after the company released results from a mid-stage study of an experimental oral obesity pill that showed side effects caused about 28% of patients to drop out of the trial in just three months. That dashed speculation the oral treatment could compete with popular weight-loss injections from Eli Lilly & Co and Novo Nordisk A/S.

The Trump administration is in talks with Intel Corp. to have the US government take a stake in the beleaguered chipmaker, according to people familiar with the plan, in the latest sign of the White House’s willingness to blur the lines between state and industry.   

A deal would help shore up Intel’s planned factory hub in Ohio, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. The company had once promised to turn that site into the world’s largest chipmaking facility, though it’s been repeatedly delayed. The size of the potential stake isn’t clear.   

The talks come just a week after President Donald Trump had called for the ouster of Intel Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan, accusing him of being “highly conflicted” because of concerns about his earlier ties to China.   

For more on the potential deal, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with Bloomberg's Ryan Gould.

According to Phil Shen, a clean energy analyst with Roth Capital Partners, "This is much better than expected," and Robert Barnett, a clean energy analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, said "This seems pretty straight forward" and is "particularly favorable news to the residential and small commercial solar companies".

- Intel (INTC) were still rallying on word the Trump administration is considering buying a stake in the troubled chipmaker. The latest reporting from Bloomberg is that the US government is considering using funds from the US Chips Act to take a stake in Intel Corp., according to people familiar with the discussions, part of efforts to rescue the embattled chipmaker and shore up domestic semiconductor manufacturing. The government’s talks focus on using Chips Act funding to at least partially finance an equity stake in Intel, the people said, while emphasizing that discussions are in early stages and other options could be under consideration. It’s unclear if the approach would involve converting some or all of Intel’s existing Chips Act grants into equity, allocating new funding from a broader pool or combining Chips Act money with other financing streams.

- Shares of Deere & Co. (DE) tumbled the most in over three years as the world’s biggest farm machinery maker pared its annual earnings outlook with lower grain prices curbing growers’ spending. The farm-machinery sector has been expected to bottom out this year, but a bigger-than-expected American corn harvest and lagging demand for crops like soybeans amid President Donald Trump’s trade wars may be shifting that timeline. Sentiment among grain and livestock producers eased earlier this month as crop prices declined.

- Tapestry (TPR) shares fell as much as 18%, the biggest intraday drop since 2020. This is because a mix of tariff costs and weakness at its Kate Spade brand sent investors fleeing on Thursday. The company’s Coach brand is still doing well, but US President Donald Trump’s tariffs weighed on a profit outlook that trailed estimates. Meanwhile, the lackluster performance of Kate Spade led Tapestry to write down its value by $855 million. Tapestry said it’s expecting earnings per diluted share between $5.30 to $5.45 in the current fiscal year. That would be a 4% to 7% increase versus the prior year. Analysts in a Bloomberg survey were expecting the profit metric to reach $5.49.

Costs are surging, and CoreWeave posted a loss of $131 million for the June quarter — more than 20 times bigger than the loss a year earlier.

- Cisco Systems (CSCO) shares fell after the company gave a lukewarm forecast for the current fiscal year, disappointing investors who hoped for a boost from massive AI data center projects.

At the midpoint, that’s roughly in line with the average Wall Street estimate of $59.5 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
