Apple, American Express Fall After Earnings; Decker Rises

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.

On this episode of of Stock Movers:

-Apple (AAPL) shares fall slightly after upbeat earnings. The tech giant delivered record quarterly sales and a better-than-anticipated forecast for the current period, even as the company warned that rising component costs are threatening to squeeze margins. Revenue will rise 13% to 16% in the second quarter, which runs through March, the company said Thursday during a conference call with analysts. That exceeded the 10% projected by Wall Street — showing that Apple can maintain momentum after an iPhone-fueled sales surge in the December quarter.

-Decker (DECK) shares after the owner of the Ugg and Hoka footwear brands raised its annual earnings and sales forecast, beating the average analyst estimate. Analysts note strength in the retailer’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels in the United States. 

-American Express (AXP) shares drop after the company’s Platinum card refresh boosted expenses more than expected and profit fell short of analysts’ estimates.
Fourth-quarter expenses of $14.5 billion were 10% higher than a year earlier and missed the $14.2 billion estimate. Amex last year announced a refresh of its popular Platinum card that included a raft of new perks, including $400 a year of dining credits at Resy restaurants.
