On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Amazon (AMZN) shares are down in extended trading as the company gave a weaker-than-expected forecast for operating profit in the current quarter, pointing toward a long list of factors including tariffs and trade that may cause consumers to pull back on spending. The world’s largest online retailer projected operating profit of $13 billion to $17.5 billion, compared with an average estimate of $17.8 billion. Sales will be $159 billion to $164 billion in the period ending in June, the company said Thursday in a statement. Analysts, on average, expected $161.4 billion.

- Apple (APPL) shares are down in extended trading as sales from China declined more than anticipated in the latest quarter, overshadowing otherwise solid results for the iPhone maker. Revenue from the country fell 2.3% to $16 billion in the fiscal second quarter, which ended March 29, the company said in a statement Thursday. Analysts had estimated $16.83 billion. Overall sales gained 5% to $95.4 billion, ahead of the $94.6 billion average estimate. Apple had projected percentage growth in the low- to mid-single digits.

- Delta Air Lines (DAL) shares have small gains in after hours trading. The airline says that the head of its Endeavor Air regional carrier will step down, but remain with the parent company. Jim Graham’s departure as Endeavor chief executive officer is part of a plan that’s been in the works almost a year, he said in a Thursday memo to the airline’s executives and directors seen by Bloomberg News.

- Eli Lilly (LLY) shares fell the most intraday since October after CVS Health announced a plan to drop its blockbuster weight-loss drug Zepbound from its preferred list, making rival Wegovy more widely available. While the company maintained its sales guidance between $58 billion and $61 billion for the year, and Zepbound performed in line with Wall Street’s expectations, investors who had been hoping for more explosive growth were underwhelmed.

- Carrier Global Corp. (CARR) shares are up. The company said said its tariff exposure has been alleviated in part through price increases, allowing it to boost its full-year profit outlook and sending its shares higher. The HVAC company is fully mitigating the impact of tariffs that are in effect today, it said in a statement Thursday. “We are fully mitigating our tariff exposure through supply chain and productivity actions with the balance of about $300 million via price, which represents a little over 1% of additional pricing,” Chief Executive Officer Dave Gitlin said on a call with investors.

- Intel (INTC) Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan gave investors a stark diagnosis of the chipmaker’s problems on Thursday, along with the sense that it will take a while to fix them. Tan, delivering his first earnings report as CEO, said Intel’s bureaucratic corporate culture needs a shake-up, so he’s going to cut jobs, remove layers of management and force everyone back to the office. His prescriptions for other areas of malaise — such as Intel’s struggling foundry business, which makes chips for outside customers — were more vague.

- Alaska Air (ALK) shares tumbled as much as 14% on Thursday, the most intraday since December 2023, after the carrier’s second-quarter forecast for adjusted earnings per share trailed the average analyst estimate. The company also said it would not update its full-year 2025 guidance and will provide an update later in the year.

- Hasbro (HAS) shares rose as much as 15%, the most intraday since April 2023, after the toy company’s adjusted EPS and net revenue easily topped Street expectations, driven by meaningfully better-than-expected revenue from its Wizards/Gaming unit. In addition, Hasbro is accelerating elements of its cost-savings program, and now targets $175 million to $225 million in gross savings this year as it searches for additional profit offsets, it said on the conference call.

- American Airlines Group (AAL) shares are up. However, the company withdrew its full-year earnings outlook, joining a growing number of companies hedging their bets on the broader economy. The looming impact of higher costs from the Trump administration’s trade policy is making it difficult for Corporate America to forecast how the year will play out as consumers brace for economic pain.

- Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) shares fell to their lowest level in 2 1/2 years after the company reported first-quarter losses of pay-TV and broadband customers that exceeded analysts’ estimates, a reflection of the growing competition from streaming and wireless providers. Comcast, the largest US cable provider, lost 199,000 domestic broadband customers during the first quarter, according to a statement Thursday, steeper than analysts’ estimates of 144,500. Pay-TV customers shrank by 427,000, compared with Wall Street projections for a loss of 409,300.

- IBM (IBM) shares fell the most in a year on Thursday after reporting results that showed strong profit while also suggesting that economic uncertainty and US government cost cuts may dent the company’s business. First-quarter sales increased almost 1% to $14.5 billion, IBM said Wednesday in a statement. Profit, excluding some items, was $1.60 per share. Both results exceeded analysts’ average estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

- Tesla (TSLA) backed away from an earlier view for 2025 sales growth and pledged to revisit its outlook next quarter, a sign that tariffs, an aging vehicle lineup and the backlash against Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk are having an impact on the electric-vehicle maker. The company on Tuesday reported adjusted earnings of 27 cents per share for the first quarter, below the average analyst estimate. Tesla omitted an earlier prediction that sales would return to growth for the full year, saying instead that it’s “making prudent investments that will set up” the vehicle business for growth. That will depend on factors including production increases and the “broader macroeconomic environment.” Shares in the EV maker were little changed after the earnings release.

- Equifax (EFX) shares rose the most since November 2022 on the news the credit-reporting agency's first-quarter profit beat estimates. This was despite the Atlanta-based firm declined to raise its guidance, citing the tariff-induced uncertainty in the economy and falling consumer confidence. “Given the strength in the first quarter and our current run rates in key verticals, we would normally be increasing our 2025 revenue and adjusted EPS guidance” Chief Executive Officer Mark Begor said on a call with analysts.

- Northrop Grumman (NOC) reported first-quarter profit that missed analysts’ expectations and cut its earnings forecast for the year as costs mounted for its next-generation B-21 stealth bomber. The shares fell the most since the early days of the pandemic on Tuesday, after Northrop said per-share profit declined by 47% in the first quarter, primarily due to new loss provisions tied to the B-21. Northrop, which for 2023 took a nearly $1.6 billion pretax charge on the program, added $477 million to the tally, as manufacturing costs rose and the company invested in its production systems to speed the program’s ramp-up.
