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 $17.40โ€“$17.90 implies 6โ€“9% growth, supported by a record $10 billion project backlog.
ConocoPhillipsย (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) Omnicomโ€™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 worldโ€™s largest marketing services firm by revenue, a significant milestone as the advertising industry consolidates and adapts to digital transformation.
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 slowerโ€‘thanโ€‘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 runโ€‘up, with heavy short interest amplifying the drop.
EDSA (Edesa Biotech) is up more than 21% today largely onย speculative trading in a very illiquid penny stock with no clear, companyโ€‘specific news catalyst, likely driven by technical factors, retail flows, and shortโ€‘term trading rather than fundamentals.
Q4 2025 revenue came in strong at about 214โ€“215 million, up midโ€‘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 70โ€“75% miss and down from 0.13 a year earlier.
Estรฉe 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 highโ€‘profile pilot with Cocaโ€‘Colaโ€™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 nearโ€‘term sales guidance came in below Wall Street expectations, reinforcing worries about slowing growth and intense AIโ€‘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 fullโ€‘year 2026 guidance again, now expecting organic sales to fall 2โ€“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 lowโ€‘ to midโ€‘singleโ€‘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 257โ€“258 million (up roughly 16% year over year and above forecasts), but adjusted EPS was 0.30 versus about 0.31โ€“0.32 expected, and EBITDA of about 101โ€“102 million was a touch below consensus.
Q4 2025 revenue was about 392 million, roughly 10โ€“20% below consensus (around 430โ€“440 million), and EPS came in atย โˆ’0.44โˆ’0.44ย versus forecasts nearย โˆ’0.27โˆ’0.27ย toย โˆ’0.32โˆ’0.32, a more than 60% negative surprise. Results were hit by a roughly 170 million nonโ€‘cash impairment plus weaker realized pricing and volumes, driving a large net loss in the quarter despite strong fullโ€‘year EBITDA and free cash flow.
AXON surged approximately +17.56% on February 25, 2026, closing at $520.18 versus the prior session's close of $442.51. The primary catalyst was a blowout Q4 2025 earnings report, with adjusted EPS of $2.15 crushing the consensus estimate of approximately $1.67.
CAVA shares surged approximately +25.01% on February 25, 2026, closing near $84.76, up from the prior session's close of $67.80. The primary catalyst was a better-than-expected Q4 fiscal 2025 earnings report, with EPS of $0.04 beating the $0.03 consensus estimate and revenue of ~$274.99M exceeding the $268.04M estimate.
ODD shares plunged approximately 49.21% on February 25, 2026, closing near $14.74, compared to the prior close of approximately $29.02. The primary catalyst was a shock Q1 2026 revenue warning: management guided for a roughly 30% year-over-year revenue decline due to a severe spike in customer acquisition costs (CAC).
