Economic Uncertainty and Corporate Earnings Forecasts

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- IBM (IBM) shares fall after the company reported its first-quarter results and gave an outlook. While analysts are broadly positive on the report, they failed to fully ease investor concerns. The company's CEO Arvind Krishna expressed caution about the economic environment, citing uncertainty that may cause clients to pause, and noted that the US government's cost-cutting actions have affected IBM's business.
- PepsiCo (PEP) shares drop after the company lowered its full-year profit outlook due to tariff headwinds and White House pressure, expecting 2025 earnings per share to be about even with 2024 based on constant currencies.
- American Air (AAL) shares edge higher despite withdrawing its full-year earnings outlook due to economic uncertainty, following similar moves by Delta Air Lines and the parent of Frontier Airlines.
