Intel Gives Strong Outlook, ServiceNow Suffers Worst Day, West Pharma Spikes

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

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Intel (INTC) delivered a blockbuster sales forecast that shattered Wall Street expectations, signaling that the long-struggling chipmaker is benefiting from the giant build-out of artificial intelligence computing. Intel shares soared 20% in extended trading after the results were released, putting the stock in record territory. It had gained 81% this year heading into the report, closing at $66.78.

- ServiceNow (NOW) shares plunged the most ever after the provider of software for business tasks reported results that disappointed investors and said some sales deals have been delayed by the war in the Middle East. Subscription revenue rose 22% to $3.67 billion in the quarter ended March 31, about in line with analysts’ average estimate compiled by Bloomberg. That expansion rate would have been nearly 1 percentage point higher if not for “delayed closings of several large on-premise deals in the Middle East, due to the ongoing conflict in the region,” the company said Wednesday in a statement.

- West Pharma (WST) spikes in trading on Thursday after the maker of packaging components for the drug industry boosted its adjusted earnings per share guidance for the full year and posted first-quarter results that was ahead of Wall Street’s expectations.
