On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Michelin shares rise as much as 4% after the French tiremaker’s price/mix was seen as a key positive in its first quarter update. Overall guidance was reiterated, but meeting it will require a stronger performance through the remainder of the year, analysts said.
- Swedish defense manufacturer Saab AB sees customers increasingly focused on cutting down delivery times as many countries race to rearm in the face of deepening geopolitical tensions.
- Accor shares rise as much as 5.6% to the highest level this month. Analysts say the French hotel operator’s results are favorable, noting positive demand commentary and expectations for net unit growth throughout the year. While net unit growth was a slight miss in the first quarter, revenue per available room, or RevPAR, beat expectations.
