On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Apple (APPL) shares are up. This comes after President Donald Trump said he spoke with Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook earlier on Monday, just as the iPhone maker was reported to be considering price increases later this year. Apple is weighing whether to raise prices for an iPhone lineup coming in the fall, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter whom it didn’t identify. The company is exploring whether to “couple” price increases with new features and designs, while trying to avoid the perception that any hikes are tied to US tariffs, the Journal reported. Apple didn’t respond to Bloomberg’s request for comment.

- Eli Lilly (LLY) are up in after hours trading. Earlier today, President Donald Trump said he plans to slash drug prices for Americans by more closely aligning their costs to lower prices paid abroad, renewing and expanding upon a failed push from his first term. Trump aims to do so by bringing drugmakers to the negotiating table. He signed an executive order Monday asking them to lower prices voluntarily or else face regulatory measures. The President, however, said Eli Lilly is not going to be tariffed because the pharmaceutical company is building in the US.

- NRG Energy (NRG) shares are up after the company agreed to acquire a fleet of natural gas-fired power plants from LS Power Equity Advisors LLC for about $12 billion including debt, betting the fuel will be crucial to meet electricity demand from data centers. The cash-and-stock deal calls for NRG to buy 18 gas-fired facilities from LS with a combined capacity of about 13 gigawatts, the companies said Monday in a statement. That’s enough to power about 10.4 million homes.

- CVS (CVS) shares, along with other major US health-care companies that own pharmacy-benefit management units closed lower after President Donald Trump proposed a plan to “cut out” the drug-industry middlemen as a way to reduce drug costs.

Pharmaceutical companies had expected — and feared — action on drug prices. However, the order was far weaker than they’d anticipated. Shares of major drugmakers initially fell after Trump teased drug-price action on social media Sunday night, then rose as details on the order emerged throughout Monday morning.

- Insulet (PODD) shares rallied this week, soaring up as much as 20% during trading on an upbeat earnings report. The insulin delivery system maker boosted its revenue guidance for the full year and posted better-than-expected first-quarter results. Piper Sandler views the guidance increase positively and as more evidence of strong momentum in the business.

- Disney (DIS) shares rose after it reported fiscal second-quarter results that beat Wall Street estimates and raised its outlook for the full year, citing strong performances from theme parks and streaming TV. Full-year 2025 earnings, excluding certain items, will rise 16% to $5.75 a share, Disney said Wednesday in a statement, about double its previous forecast for growth. Analysts were looking for $5.44 a share. A number of major companies have pulled their 2025 guidance amid the uncertainty caused by US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported goods. But Disney is benefiting from faster-than-expected growth at its namesake parks and streaming business, and pointed to that strong performance to boost its guidance.

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Alphabet (GOOG) sunk on the news that Apple is “actively looking at” revamping the Safari web browser on its devices to focus on AI-powered search engines, a seismic shift for the industry hastened by the potential end of a longtime partnership with Google. Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of services, made the disclosure Wednesday during his testimony in the US Justice Department’s lawsuit against Alphabet. The heart of the dispute is the two companies’ estimated $20 billion-a-year deal that makes Google the default offering for queries in Apple’s browser. The case could force the tech giants to unwind the pact, upending how the iPhone and other devices have long operated.

- Uber (UBER) shares are down after they reported weaker-than-expected quarterly gross bookings, citing lower US inbound travel that’s led to slower gains in its rideshare business. Gross bookings, which include ride hails, delivery orders and driver and merchant earnings, but not tips, were $42.8 billion in the first three months of 2025, Uber said in a statement Wednesday. Analysts projected $43.1 billion, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. Revenue also landed below expectations at $11.5 billion, as did operating income.

- Walt Disney (DIS) shares are up after the company reported fiscal second-quarter results that beat Wall Street estimates and raised its outlook for the full year, citing strong performances from theme parks and streaming TV. The shares jumped as much as 12% in New York. Full-year 2025 earnings, excluding certain items, will rise 16% to $5.75 a share, Disney said Wednesday in a statement, about double its previous forecast for growth. Analysts were looking for $5.44 a share.

- Palantir Technologies (PLTR) shares slid by the most in nearly a year after its financial results and projections failed to live up to investors’ lofty expectations. The company described rising demand for artificial intelligence software as a “ravenous whirlwind” and bumped its 2025 revenue forecast on Monday to about $3.9 billion from about $3.75 billion. But even a solid earnings results beat and the raised outlook wasn’t enough to justify the stock’s high valuation and extend its massive year-to-date gain. Palantir’s shares tanked by as much as 14.9% to $105.32, the lowest intraday price since May 7, 2024. The stock was still up 41% for the year.

- Hims & Hers Health Inc. (HIMS) reiterated its 2025 revenue forecast after posting better-than-expected sales for the first quarter, raising questions about the future as it shifts from making copycat weight-loss drugs to selling discounted versions of Novo Nordisk A/S’s blockbuster Wegovy. Hims’ business got a boost when branded weight-loss drugs were in short supply and a regulatory loophole allowed it to sell less expensive compounded versions of drugs like semaglutide, a chemical name for Wegovy. Those shortages have since resolved and now the telehealth company is finding a new lane by also selling branded drugs at a discount.

- Constellation Energy (CEG) surged after it said it is on the verge of signing long-term deals to provide nuclear energy that could meet unrelenting demand to run data centers and factories. Shares climbed 12% as Chief Executive Officer Joe Dominguez said on an earnings call that the agreements bolster the case for Constellation’s pending $16.4 billion deal for Calpine, which would give Constellation the largest fleet of US power stations. Power consumption in the US is expected to grow almost 16% over the next five years, driven by data centers running artificial intelligence operations, as well as the electrification of homes and cars and a shift away from fossil fuels in manufacturing. That’s created new life for old nuclear plants, with a deal to reopen Three Mile Island as the most high-profile example.

- Apple (APPL) shares fell this week after its quarterly earnings report failed to soothe investor concerns about its biggest challenges, including escalating tariff costs and a slowdown in China. The company’s shares declined 3.7% in New York on Friday after second-quarter results included worse-than-expected sales in China. The iPhone maker also warned that tariffs will increase costs this quarter, a sign that geopolitical tensions are taking a growing toll on the business. Apple expects $900 million in higher costs from tariffs in the current period, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said Thursday during a conference call. Revenue will increase by a percentage in the low- to mid-single digits in the quarter, compared with a 5% average analyst estimate. The company didn’t offer any guidance on the impact of tariffs beyond the current period.

- Eli Lilly (LLY) shares took a hit on word that CVS choose to make rival Novo Nordisk's popular weight-loss drug Wegovy more widely available to its customers. Eli Lilly's Zepbound was moved off of CVS' list of preferred drugs. Novo and Lilly have been locked in a fierce competition to dominate the obesity market, which is expected to reach $130 billion by the end of the decade. CVS Caremark’s decision to place Wegovy over Zepbound could give Novo an edge as the companies fight to convince insurance companies to pay for their treatments, which cost more than $1,000 a month before rebates.

The Stockholm-based company forecast gross profit margins of 31.5% in the second quarter, missing analysts’ average estimate for 31.6% according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Spotify sees monthly active users rising to 689 million, less than the 694.4 million analysts expected. The US-traded stock slipped as much as 9.6% in New York to $540.10.
