On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST) posted better-than-expected earnings in the third quarter, a sign that the nation’s largest club chain is flexing its scale and devoted following to navigate tariffs and other forces of economic turbulence. 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.

- Red Robin (RRGB), reported adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter that beat the average analyst estimate. The burger franchise operator expects Adjusted EBITDA will be in a range of $13 million to $16 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. It's also forecasting comparable restaurant revenue results to include a headwind of approximately 240 basis points due to a 2024 benefit from the change in the Company's loyalty program not recurring in 2025, leading to a total decline in comparable restaurant sales of approximately 3%.
