Affirm Falls on Results, Expedia Cuts Outlook, Tesla Leads Mag 7

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Affirm (ARFM) shares plunged as much as 14% on Friday after the financial technology company reported what some analysts said were “mixed” results. Analysts made note of the mostly positive earnings, but flagged expectations were very high heading into the results and the guidance given may be conservative. 

- Expedia (EXPE) cut its full-year outlook for gross bookings and revenue after it saw weaker-than-expected domestic and inbound travel demand in the US at the start of the year. Gross bookings and revenue are now expected to grow 2% to 4% in 2025, Chief Financial Officer Scott Schenkel said on an earnings call. The company had projected 4% to 6% growth in February. It also issued first-quarter results and a second-quarter outlook that missed Wall Street estimates.

- Tesla (TSLA) shares were higher leading Magnificent Seven stocks today. Investors refrained from making riskier bets on speculation that while talks between Chinese and American officials could represent a diplomatic icebreaker, they would unlikely result in a comprehensive agreement at this stage. Following a rapid $6 trillion surge in the S&P 500 from the brink of a bear market, action has been more muted in recent days. The gauge was little changed Friday amid volume that was 30% below the average of the past month.
