On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Netflix (NFLX) shares are lower today. Netflix reported second-quarter results that exceeded investor expectations in every major metric, saying revenue grew to $11.1 billion and earnings jumped to $7.19 a share. The company also raised its forecast for full-year sales and profit margins. The second quarter is historically slow for Netflix, which typically adds more customers at the beginning and end of the year.
- Lululemon (LULU) shares are lower today following a note from an analyst at Jefferies that said the company is facing slowing sales, fewer store visitors and waning demand for its iconic black leggings. Lululemon’s core black leggings, which are vital products that rarely are discounted, are piling up at outlet stores, the note said.
- 3M (MMM) shares climb after the company raised its profit forecast and beat Wall Street’s estimates for the second quarter as Chief Executive Officer William Brown’s effort to reinvigorate the company gained momentum. Adjusted earnings will be $7.75 to $8 a share this year, including the expected impact of tariffs, the maker of Post-it notes and Ace bandages said.
