On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Boeing (BA) shares are up on word that the Trump administration has been including orders for Boeing planes in trade discussions. That news is helping restore Bank of America’s confidence in the stock. “Boeing aircraft have emerged as a favored trade mechanism in recent US trade negotiations, which we suspect will continue,” Ronald Epstein of Bank of America wrote in a research note. The analyst said deals — including a record order from Qatar Airways — as well as the end of China’s ban on airlines taking delivery of Boeing planes are creating a buying opportunity in shares. Epstein raised the stock to a buy from neutral while boosting the 12-month price target to $260, the highest on Wall Street and about 25% higher than where the stock currently trades, from a target of $185.

- General Motors (GM) and Ford (F) shares are slipping after President Donald Trump said Friday that he would increase steel and aluminum tariffs to 50% from 25%. Trump hopes the increased levies will protect margins for domestic mills and spur investment in new production capacity, and shares of US steel and aluminum makers surged in after-hours trading after the announcement on Friday. But construction companies have warned that levies on steel and aluminum — which Trump had already raised from 10% to 25% — will increase the cost of critical building materials.

- Moderna (MRNA) shares are up after the company gained US approval for a new Covid vaccine for a narrower group of people, in the latest sign that regulators are restricting access to immunizations under the leadership of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The company’s second-generation vaccine is cleared for all adults over 65 and anyone over 12 who has at least one risk factor for severe disease, Moderna said in a statement Saturday. Moderna’s Covid shot had previously been approved for people 12 years of age and older regardless of their underlying health.

- Tesla (TSLA) shares fell on word that new-vehicle registrations plunged to an almost three-year low in France. The automaker sold only 721 cars in May, down 67% from a year earlier, according to French industry association Plateforme Automobile. Tesla’s registrations were the lowest since July 2022, despite the company rolling out a redesigned version of its most popular vehicle, the Model Y. Musk recently denied the need for a plan to improve Tesla’s fortunes, telling Bloomberg News in a May 20 interview that the company had “already turned around.” While the CEO claimed Tesla was seeing sales decline along with every other carmaker in Europe, manufacturers including Volkswagen AG, Renault SA and BMW AG increased deliveries in the first four months of the year.

Vaccine makers have been on high alert to challenges under Kennedy, a longtime critic of immunizations who leads the health agency that oversees the Food and Drug Administration.

- Disney (DIS) shares are lower after it was reported that it would be laying off several hundred employees across its film and TV businesses, cuts that underscore the tough times in Hollywood are far from over. The staff reductions began Monday and are falling on employees in marketing, publicity, casting and development, along with corporate financial operations, according to the company. Hollywood has been in a cost-cutting mode for years, with production and employment in a downward spiral. Disney, based in Burbank, California, announced a retrenchment in February 2023, eliminating 7,000 jobs in a bid to cut expenses by $5.5 billion. The company later increased that target to $7.5 billion. Competitors have also laid off thousands of workers.

The retailer said it generated earnings per share of $4.28 for the quarter ended May 11, above what Wall Street analysts were expecting. The metric suggests that Costco is growing its business even as consumers prioritize necessities to save money.

- Dell Technologies Inc. (DELL) gave a profit outlook for the year that exceeded estimates and said it had seen a significant increase in orders for servers to run AI networks. Earnings, excluding some items, will be about $9.40 a share in the fiscal year ending in January 2026, an increase from a February forecast, Texas-based Dell said Thursday in a statement. The company reiterated its sales forecast of roughly $103 billion. Analysts, on average, projected profit of $9.21 a share on revenue of $103 billion.

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.

The curbs have already forced Nvidia to take a $5.5 billion write-down, and they’re clouding the chipmaker’s prospects in a critical market.

- Moderna (MRNA), along with shares of other vaccine developers like Novavax (NVAX) rose this week after hearing the FDA's approach for the path forward on Covid shots. Moderna jumped as much as 15% on Tuesday after the FDA outlined guidance that was received as "better than expected", and may contain a silver lining, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Sam Fazeli. “The guidance, coming from two critics of the booster program, may actually increase the uptake of shots in the general US population given many have co-morbidities,” Fazeli writes in a note. The FDA's new policy doesn’t require the companies to do costly new trials to keep selling Covid vaccines for older adults who are more likely to get vaccinated. It also doesn’t require additional studies to sell the shots to those with underlying health risks — a group that represents between 100 million and 200 million Americans, including those who are obese and have mental health conditions like depression.
