On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Intel (INTC) Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan gave investors a stark diagnosis of the chipmaker’s problems on Thursday, along with the sense that it will take a while to fix them. Tan, delivering his first earnings report as CEO, said Intel’s bureaucratic corporate culture needs a shake-up, so he’s going to cut jobs, remove layers of management and force everyone back to the office. His prescriptions for other areas of malaise — such as Intel’s struggling foundry business, which makes chips for outside customers — were more vague.
- Alaska Air (ALK) shares tumbled as much as 14% on Thursday, the most intraday since December 2023, after the carrier’s second-quarter forecast for adjusted earnings per share trailed the average analyst estimate. The company also said it would not update its full-year 2025 guidance and will provide an update later in the year.
- Hasbro (HAS) shares rose as much as 15%, the most intraday since April 2023, after the toy company’s adjusted EPS and net revenue easily topped Street expectations, driven by meaningfully better-than-expected revenue from its Wizards/Gaming unit. In addition, Hasbro is accelerating elements of its cost-savings program, and now targets $175 million to $225 million in gross savings this year as it searches for additional profit offsets, it said on the conference call.
