Big reports from Visa, Boeing, UnitedHealth, and others


Stock Market Today: Big reports from Visa, Boeing, UnitedHealth, and others originally appeared on TheStreet.

Despite its best efforts, the S&P 500 was unable to clinch a 7th consecutive record close on Tuesday (and its 16th record close of the year). The index fell 0.3% to 6,370.86, snapping its nearly week-long winning streak.

It wasn’t alone. The Nasdaq, which was looking for its 17th record close of the year, fell 0.35%. Even worse off were the Dow (-0.46%) and Russell (-0.60%), which ‘followed the leader’ south.

Oh well, there’s always tomorrow. And all things considered, today’s declines weren’t all that bad. There’s still a lot of week ahead — and a huge swath of earnings. Here are the highlights from the market today:

Today, we are on the lookout for more than 170 reports per Nasdaq. Many of them happened this morning. Here were the top 10 reports (by market cap) happening in the A.M.

This morning, we had a series of macro datapoints out. Here are the highlights:

  • S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price was up 2.8% year-over-year in May, smaller than the 3.4% YoY hike in April and the 3% expected by analysts.

  • In the month of June, there were 4.437 million job openings in the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTs), less than the 7.712 million from last month.

  • June wholesale inventories rose 0.2% month-over-month, reversing from the -0.3% change last month.

  • June’s Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence reading was 97.2, higher than the 95.2 last month.

Atop the S&P 500 this morning is Cadence Design Systems  (CDNS) , leading the index with a 10.4% march this morning. The company, which creates circuit boards and systems on chips (SoCs) posted an earnings beat and raised after a strong earnings report. Its sales were up 20% and earnings were up 29%.

United Parcel Service  (UPS)  is the index’s biggest laggard, down 9.4% as of this writing. The company reported declining revenue, a miss on its quarterly income, and chose to withhold its guidance. The results augur negative prospects for the U.S. logistics industry in the near term.

In the last hour, HVAC company Carrier Global  (CARR)  and insurance broker Brown & Brown  (BRO)  have also landed themselves at the bottom of the index; they’re both down 9% after their respective earnings.

Among other movers, pharma stocks such as Merck  (MRK)  and Eli Lilly  (LLY) , are also tumbling today. Outside of the S&P, Novo Nordisk  (NVO)  is leading market losers today, down a steep 20% after firing its CEO. (More on that in short order.)

We’re over the mid-day hump, with all four U.S. indexes trading to the downside. The S&P 500 is down 0.22%, currently heading the wrong direction if it wants to notch a seventh consecutive high.

Here’s the problem: those morning earnings. Right now, only one company among the ten reports we highlighted in our A.M. preview are in the green after reporting.

What’s the one? Read on to find out.

Here are some of the big intraday winners and losers from across the market:

It’s no secret that health care stocks are feeling a little underneath the weather today. And we’re not just talking about Novo Nordisk  (NVO) , which is currently the worst-performing stock on the market, down nearly 22% today after cutting its guidance and fired its CEO.

Unfortunately for pharma investors, the bad vibes are spreading beyond Novo and UnitedHealth  (UNH)  (which reported this morning.) Pharma stocks such as Moderna  (MRNA)  and Eli Lilly  (LLY)  are also among the unfortunate few leading S&P decliners today.

The folks at Corning  (GLW) , who make the glass on your smartphone, are currently on top of the world. And by world, we mean the S&P 500. Up 13.3% at the moment, it has pushed Cadence Design Systems aside for the top spot.

At the moment, Corning is the only morning report (among the top 10 reports from the A.M.) that is in the green. Its strong earnings report is to thank, with earnings and revenue beating expectations.

It credited AI demand and domestic solar production for a portion of that strong performance.

Speaking of foldable phone, Apple  (AAPL) has been dominating chatter today. For one, rumors are making the rounds again that the Apple Card might finally be jumping ship from Goldman Sachs (long story there). And, yes, there is a report out today from analysts at JPMorgan that there could be a foldable iPhone on the way. They report on Thursday. They’re down 1% today.

Payments company PayPal used to be a retail favorite, but a disappointing year is making it hard to see how it could maintain that. It reported earnings today, beating on top and bottom-lines.

However, transaction margin dollars, a key metric, slowed to 7% year-over-year. That was a significant enough decline for investors to start selling. The stock is down over 8% at the moment.

One of the only consolations is that Venmo, one of PayPal’s various properties, grew 20% year-over-year. They declined to offer elaborate; they don’t break out its results in their earnings at the moment.

Let’s just hope that payments companies having bad earnings isn’t a thing we’re going to repeat. (After all, Visa V is reporting after the market close.)

Today’s biggest earnings report is happening after market close, with Visa  (V)  reporting shortly after the bell. They’ll be joined by Booking Holdings  (BKNG) , coffee house Starbucks  (SBUX) , and snack giant Mondelez  (MDLZ) , among others.

Here’s the top ten earnings taking place after hours, per Nasdaq:
