Pinterest looking to raise as much as $1.5 billion in IPO

Pinterest is hoping to raise as much as $1.5 billion in its initial offering of shares. The digital photo and social media site said in a regulatory filing that it will put about 75 million shares up for sale at a price between $15 and $17 each.

This price range, at the higher end, could put the value of the company at around $9 billion, below the estimated $12 billion value from earlier sales of shares to investors, according to reports two years ago.

Shell plc (SHEL) reported Q4 2025 adjusted earnings of $3.3 billion, below expectations due to weaker oil prices and non-cash tax charges. Full-year adjusted earnings reached $18.5 billion, supported by strong LNG and upstream operations. A 4% dividend increase to $0.372 per share and a new $3.5 billion buyback program reinforce capital return commitments.
Linde (LIN) reported Q4 2025 adjusted EPS of $4.20, topping estimates, with full-year revenue reaching $34 billion. 2026 EPS guidance of $17.40–$17.90 implies 6–9% growth, supported by a record $10 billion project backlog.
ConocoPhillips (COP) reported Q4 2025 adjusted EPS of $1.02, missing estimates due to weaker oil prices. Full-year adjusted earnings totaled $7.7 billion, with $19.9 billion in operating cash flow. Shares have gained more than 10% in recent weeks, supported by analyst upgrades and sector momentum.
Verisk Analytics (VRSK) delivered Q4 2025 revenue of $779 million, up 5.9% year over year, with adjusted EPS of $1.82, beating expectations. Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) reported Q3 FY2026 revenue of $2.62 billion, down 10.2% year over year, but adjusted diluted EPS climbed 14% to $1.77, well above estimates.
(OMC) Omnicom’s fourth-quarter report, released February 18, 2026, marked its first earnings update incorporating results from Interpublic Group (IPG), acquired on November 26, 2025. The combination created the world’s largest marketing services firm by revenue, a significant milestone as the advertising industry consolidates and adapts to digital transformation.
IBM fell over 10% today mainly because a new AI tool from Anthropic is seen as a direct threat to IBM’s lucrative COBOL modernization and consulting business, triggering worries that key legacy‑modernization revenue will be automated away.
Today’s drop is mainly about competitive positioning and future growth expectations, not an immediate collapse of current Wegovy/Ozempic sales, but it signals that Novo may not have the strongest next‑wave obesity drug versus Eli Lilly, which is why the stock sold off so sharply.
RNG (RingCentral) dropped over 12% today mainly as a sharp pullback after a very steep recent run‑up driven by upbeat Q4 results, guidance, and capital‑return news, with profit‑taking amplified by valuation concerns and a weak broader tech tap
Fundamentally, the latest public guidance is still for rapid growth and profitability, but today’s drop reflects a reset of sentiment and valuation rather than a brand‑new deterioration in those targets. For investors, the key question is whether the current price appropriately reflects execution risk, competition in diagnostics, and macro volatility after the guidance‑driven rally and subsequent reversal.
TNC (Tennant Company) is down more than 25% today because it reported a very large earnings and revenue miss for Q4 2025, blamed on serious ERP rollout problems and weaker demand, and guided to a slower‑than‑hoped recovery in 2026.
XMTR (Xometry) is down more than 21% today because, despite reporting record growth and an earnings beat, the company announced a CEO transition and investors used the news to take profits after a big prior run‑up, with heavy short interest amplifying the drop.
EDSA (Edesa Biotech) is up more than 21% today largely on speculative trading in a very illiquid penny stock with no clear, company‑specific news catalyst, likely driven by technical factors, retail flows, and short‑term trading rather than fundamentals.
Q4 2025 revenue came in strong at about 214–215 million, up mid‑30s percent year over year and a few percent above estimates, but GAAP EPS was only 0.08 versus expectations around 0.31, a roughly 70–75% miss and down from 0.13 a year earlier.
Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (EL) has rebounded with ~12% YTD gains and 50%+ one-year returns, supported by margin improvements and strong skincare/fragrance demand despite broader prestige beauty challenges.
Coherent Corp (COHR) has surged 200%+ over the past year and 35% YTD, fueled by AI datacenter demand and strong Q2 fiscal 2026 results (17% YoY revenue growth). QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM) trades at a reasonable PE of 29x with 15% YTD gains, but memory shortages have constrained handset sales, partially offset by growth in data center chips. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM) leads with 96% one-year returns and 28% YTD, supported by record AI chip sales and projected 53.8% quarterly earnings growth.
RIME (Algorhythm Holdings Inc.) is up more than 24% today mainly because its SemiCab unit landed a high‑profile pilot with Coca‑Cola’s largest bottling partner in India, reinforcing bullish sentiment around its AI freight platform and sparking aggressive retail and momentum buying in a thinly traded penny stock.
GDDY (GoDaddy) is down more than 17% today because its 2026 revenue outlook and near‑term sales guidance came in below Wall Street expectations, reinforcing worries about slowing growth and intense AI‑driven competition even though Q4 2025 headline results were solid.
For the first half of fiscal 2026, organic net sales and adjusted EPS both declined about 3% year over year and missed analyst expectations, with U.S. spirits and Chinese white spirits particularly weak. Management cut full‑year 2026 guidance again, now expecting organic sales to fall 2–3% and organic operating profit to be flat to up only low single digits, versus a prior outlook of flat to slightly down sales and low‑ to mid‑single‑digit profit growth.
DRVN (Driven Brands) is down more than 36% today because the company disclosed serious errors in its past financial statements, is delaying its Q4 2025 earnings release, and will have to restate results for the last two fiscal years, which shattered investor confidence and raised concerns about leverage and profitability.
Q4 2025 revenue was strong at about 257–258 million (up roughly 16% year over year and above forecasts), but adjusted EPS was 0.30 versus about 0.31–0.32 expected, and EBITDA of about 101–102 million was a touch below consensus.
