On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Caterpillar (CAT) shares fall after the company said it expects slightly lower sales this year if Trump administration tariffs remain in place and the economy dips into a recession in the second half. Caterpillar said it expects an additional cost headwind of $250 million to $350 million in the second quarter from tariffs, “net of initial mitigation actions and cost controls.”
- Starbucks (SBUX) shares fall after the company said same-store sales declined 1% in the quarter ended March 30, missing Wall Street estimates, and earnings per share also missed expectations. CEO Brian Niccol said "behind the scenes, we really are showing a lot of signs of progress” -- Niccol took the helm in September and kicked off an overhaul of its cafes to make them more welcoming
- Snap (SNAP) shares fall after the company warned volatility may impact advertising demand more broadly, contributing to its decision to withhold sales projections. Some of Snap’s advertisers are pulling back their spending due to the Trump administration’s planned changes to the de minimis rule, which exempts imports from mainland China and Hong Kong from tariffs if they’re worth less than $800, Chief Financial Officer Derek Andersen said on an earnings call with investors.
