Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) shares are in the spotlight Wednesday ahead of second-quarter earnings after the market closes.

Shares of footwear and accessories discount retailer Designer Brands (NYSE:DBI) jumped 9.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings that significantly beat analyst expectations. Designer Brands posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.38, which was more than double the Wall Street consensus estimate of about $0.18. This represented a surge of over 40% compared to the same period in the previous year. The strong profit performance came even as the company's net sales decreased by 3.2%. The beat on the bottom line was driven by a 210-basis point improvement in gross margin and disciplined management of inventory and expenses. The results suggested the company's turnaround efforts were taking hold, boosting investor confidence.

Shares of outdoor lifestyle products brand (NYSE:YETI) jumped 3% in the afternoon session after a key retail partner, Academy Sports and Outdoors, reported strong third-quarter earnings, signaling healthy consumer demand in the outdoor and sporting goods sector. Academy Sports and Outdoors, which sells YETI products, announced that its earnings for the third quarter came in ahead of analyst targets. The retailer's revenue grew 3% compared to the same period in the previous year, and its earnings per share also beat expectations. The strong performance from a major retailer in the same space suggested that consumers were still spending on outdoor gear, which investors viewed as a positive sign for YETI's own sales prospects.

Shares of ride sharing and on-demand delivery platform Uber (NYSE:UBER) fell 5.6% in the afternoon session after the company received a price target cut from Morgan Stanley and faced reports it was pulling back on incentives for electric vehicle drivers. Morgan Stanley lowered its price target on Uber's stock to $110 from $115, although it maintained its "Overweight" rating. Adding to the negative sentiment, reports indicated that the company discontinued its monthly EV bonuses for drivers as it scaled back some of its climate efforts. The move also occurred as the company dealt with what was described as mounting regulatory pressure in Europe.

Shares of scientific instrument company Bruker (NASDAQ:BRKR). jumped 3.6% in the afternoon session after the company announced it received approximately $25 million in orders for its high-performance magnetic resonance systems from leading European research institutions. 

Shares of financial advisory firm Lazard (NYSE:LAZ) fell 3% in the afternoon session after the company reported that its preliminary assets under management (AUM) for November fell to approximately $250.8 billion, a 6.3% decrease from the previous month. The drop was caused by net outflows of $18.0 billion. A significant portion of this, $16.8 billion, resulted from the closure of a single U.S. sub-advised client relationship. This event was particularly concerning for investors because the company had previously expected this withdrawal to occur in 2026 or later. The earlier-than-anticipated loss of a major client's assets signaled instability and prompted a negative reaction in the market.

Shares of kitchen product manufacturer Middleby (NYSE:MIDD) jumped 6.4% in the afternoon session after Jefferies upgraded its rating on the stock to "Buy" from "Hold" and increased its price target. The investment firm raised its price target on the food processing equipment maker to $175 from $130, seeing a potential 35.7% upside from the stock's last closing price. According to the brokerage, Middleby's Commercial Foodservice division was expected to show strong growth. This growth was anticipated to come from organic expansion, better margins, and share repurchases. Adding to the positive sentiment, a company director, Robert Nerbonne, recently purchased over $100,000 worth of company shares, a move often seen as a sign of insider confidence in the firm's future.

Shares of life sciences company Avantor (NYSE:AVTR) jumped 4.2% in the afternoon session after a company director, Sanjeev K Mehra, disclosed the purchase of 350,000 shares for a total of $3.8 million. This significant insider buy, executed at prices between $10.98 and $11.21, signaled strong confidence from leadership, especially as the stock traded near its 52-week low. The purchase followed a period of negative sentiment for the company. Avantor had previously released disappointing third-quarter financial results, which included a 4.7% decline in organic revenue and a net loss of $712 million, largely due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge. These results, which were attributed to competitive pressures, led to analyst downgrades from firms including Raymond James and JPMorgan.

Shares of self defense company AXON (NASDAQ:AXON) jumped 2.7% in the afternoon session after the company secured two multi-million dollar contracts with police departments for its AI-powered technology, including body cameras and drones. 

Shares of auto parts and accessories retailer AutoZone (NYSE:AZO) fell 1.6% in the afternoon session after the stock's negative momentum continued as the company reported first-quarter earnings that missed analyst expectations, alongside weaker-than-expected sales growth. 

Shares of electricity storage and software provider Fluence (NASDAQ:FLNC) fell 2% in the afternoon session after the negative momentum continued as two analyst firms recently downgraded the company's stock. Mizuho lowered its rating on the stock to 'Underperform,' and Johnson Rice cut its rating to 'Hold.' Although Mizuho also raised its price target for the shares, the downgrades from two separate firms signaled a more cautious view of the company's prospects. These revised ratings from financial analysts likely influenced investor sentiment, contributing to the selling pressure on the stock.

Shares of online grocery delivery platform Instacart (NASDAQ:CART) fell 6.6% in the afternoon session after Amazon expanded its same-day grocery delivery service and a critical report surfaced about the company's pricing practices. 

Shares of online money transfer platform Remitly (NASDAQ:RELY) jumped 6% in the afternoon session after the company unveiled a positive medium-term outlook and set financial targets for 2026 and 2028 during its Investor Day event.

Shares of luxury fashion conglomerate Tapestry (NYSE:TPR) fell 1.9% in the afternoon session after Guggenheim initiated coverage on the company with a "Neutral" rating. The new coverage was led by analyst Simeon Siegel, who did not assign a price target as part of the initiation. 

Shares of athletic apparel company Under Armour (NYSE:UAA) jumped 2.3% in the afternoon session after investment firm Guggenheim initiated coverage on the sports apparel company with a 'Buy' rating and a $6 price target. The new coverage from Guggenheim analyst Simeon Siegel signaled a positive view of the company's potential market performance. The initiation with a 'Buy' rating often draws investor attention as it suggests confidence in the company's future prospects and strategy.

Shares of semiconductor packaging and testing company Amkor Technology (NASDAQ:AMKR) jumped 2.2% in the afternoon session after the company's stock hit a new 52-week high, building on momentum from strong recent financial results and a new positive analyst rating. 

Shares of pet products provider Bark (NYSE:BARK) fell 3.4% in the afternoon session after technical indicators pointed toward a bearish trend and an increase in bets against the stock. The company's overall moving average trend leaned bearish. More specifically, a key short-term technical signal remained below a longer-term one, which suggested a strong downward trend. Adding to the pressure, the percentage of shares sold short increased to 28.73%. This activity indicated that a notable number of traders were positioning for the stock's price to fall even further.

Shares of nutrition products company Bellring Brands (NYSE:BRBR) jumped 5.2% in the afternoon session after the stock's momentum improved amid a focus on long-term capital following its recent share buyback program. The stock found support from the company's recent $600 million share repurchase authorization, signaling strong management confidence in its long-term value. In addition, the underlying strength in top-line sales, which continued to outperform estimates, convinced momentum investors that the recent stock sell-off was overdone. Overall, the move suggests the market prioritized BellRing's commitment to returning capital to shareholders and the fundamental demand for its protein products over near-term pressures.

Shares of global media and entertainment company iHeartMedia (NASDAQ:IHRT) jumped 5% in the afternoon session after the stock continued its strong upward momentum from the previous trading session, which saw a significant price surge on high volume. On the prior trading day, iHeartMedia's stock price gained more than 13%, with shares fluctuating significantly throughout the day. This rally was accompanied by an increase in trading volume, which is often seen as a positive technical sign by traders. No specific company announcements or fundamental news appeared to be the direct cause for the initial sharp increase, suggesting the move was driven by market trading dynamics rather than a new development within the company.

Broadcom Inc (AVGO) is expanding its private cloud program for smaller businesses, while riding strong AI-driven growth across its chip and infrastructure businesses.

Shares of investment management firm T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ:TROW) fell 3.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported preliminary month-end assets under management for November that showed significant net outflows. T. Rowe Price announced that its assets under management (AUM) were $1.79 trillion at the end of November. The main point of concern for investors was the preliminary net outflow of $8.0 billion for the month. This figure indicated that more money was pulled out of the firm's funds than was put in. The total AUM also saw a slight decrease from the previous month, with equity assets declining by 1.2% month-over-month. These outflows can signal reduced investor confidence and negatively impact a company's fee-based revenue.

Shares of financial technology provider Euronet Worldwide (NASDAQ:EEFT) jumped 2.6% in the afternoon session after the company made a push into credit card issuing and flexible payment products with its acquisition of CoreCard. The deal combined Euronet's established payments infrastructure with CoreCard's modern, API-driven processing platform. CoreCard served major clients including Goldman Sachs, American Express, and Apple, notably handling billions of transactions for the highly successful Apple Card program. This move positioned Euronet to capitalize on the growing demand for flexible payments, such as the "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) market. The BNPL sector was estimated to reach a value of US$560 billion by the end of 2025, reflecting a significant shift in consumer credit demand.

Shares of online platform company Coupang (NYSE:CPNG) fell 2.2% in the afternoon session after its CEO, Park Dae-jun, announced his resignation as he took responsibility for a massive data breach. The breach was described as one of the worst in South Korea's history, exposing the personal information of over 33 million customers. In a statement, the departing CEO said he was stepping down after feeling a "heavy sense of responsibility for the incident." Following the news, South Korean police raided the company's Seoul headquarters. The company also faced mounting legal pressure as a U.S. law office prepared a class-action lawsuit. Coupang appointed its General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, Harold Rogers, as the interim CEO.

Shares of aerospace and defense company AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) fell 10.6% in the afternoon session after the company's third-quarter earnings badly missed Wall Street expectations and it lowered its full-year profit forecast. While the company reported strong revenue of $472.5 million, a 151% jump year on year, its profits fell significantly short. AeroVironment posted adjusted earnings of $0.44 per share, missing the analysts' consensus forecast of $0.79. Profitability was a key issue, as the company's operating margin fell to negative 6.4% from 3.7% in the same quarter last year. Adding to investor concerns, management lowered its full-year adjusted earnings guidance to a midpoint of $3.47 per share, a 4.8% decrease. The combination of a substantial earnings miss and a reduced outlook overshadowed the robust sales growth.

Shares of automotive parts company LKQ (NASDAQ:LKQ) jumped 4.8% in the afternoon session after Stephens & Co. initiated coverage on the stock with an Overweight rating and a price target of $39.00. This was the first time the investment firm covered LKQ. An "Overweight" rating generally means the analyst believes the stock will perform better than the overall market. The positive outlook appeared to spark investor interest. This was reflected in the options market, where traders acquired a significantly higher number of call options, which are bets that a stock's price will increase. The volume of these bullish bets jumped by 176% compared to the typical daily average.

Shares of aerospace and defense company Redwire (NYSE:RDW) fell 1.3% in the afternoon session after Cantor Fitzgerald significantly lowered its price target on the company's stock by 55%. The analyst firm reduced its target to $9.00 from a previous $20.00. Despite the substantial cut, Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its "Overweight" rating on the aerospace company's stock. However, the decision to slash the price target so steeply reflected a more cautious stance on Redwire's future performance and financial prospects, which appeared to concern investors.

Shares of asset management firm Artisan Partners (NYSE:APAM) fell 3.9% in the afternoon session after the company disclosed that a large institutional client pulled $2.7 billion from its funds in early December. The asset manager announced the major redemption as part of its preliminary assets under management (AUM) report for November 2025. The report also noted other outflows, including approximately $800 million in fund distributions that were not reinvested in November, with another $400 million expected in December. For an asset management firm like Artisan Partners, AUM is a critical measure of health, as its fees are based on the total assets it manages. Significant redemptions and outflows can signal challenges in keeping clients and may lead to a drop in future revenue.

Shares of lifting and material handling equipment company Terex (NYSE:TEX) jumped 2.6% in the afternoon session after Morgan Stanley upgraded the company's stock to "Overweight" from "Equal-Weight" and raised its price target. 

Shares of medical technology company Inspire Medical Systems (NYSE:INSP) jumped 2.3% in the afternoon session after the stock continued its positive momentum amid improved ratings from Wall Street analysts, as an increase in Medicare reimbursement rate boosted the growth outlook for the company's procedures.
