Shares of fresh produce company Dole (NYSE:DOLE) fell 8.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported underwhelming first quarter 2025 results. Its EPS missed significantly, and its full-year EBITDA guidance fell slightly short of Wall Street's estimates. The shortfall came as adjusted EPS sank, hit by higher fruit costs, costly shipping delays, and the sale of its Progressive Produce business. Still, Dole beat revenue forecasts, with sales rising 4% on a like-for-like basis thanks to strong demand for bananas and better pricing for pineapples. Overall, this was a weaker quarter given the disappointing profit guidance.

Shares of advertising software maker The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD) jumped 11.3% in the afternoon session after the major indices popped (Nasdaq +3.4%, S&P 500 +2.5%) in response to the positive outcome of U.S.-China trade negotiations, as both sides agreed to pause some tariffs for 90 days, signaling a potential turning point in ongoing tensions. This rollback cuts U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods to 30% and Chinese tariffs on U.S. imports to 10%, giving companies breathing room to reset inventories and supply chains.

Shares of online study and academic help platform Chegg (NYSE:CHGG) jumped 5.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported decent first quarter 2025 results, which blew past analysts' EBITDA expectations, aided by aggressive cost-cutting from the previous year's restructuring plans. In addition, its revenue outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Yet, sales shrank 30%, and subscriber numbers plunged 31%, making it clear that fewer students are turning to the platform. 

Shares of clinical research company Fortrea Holdings (NASDAQ:FTRE) fell 14.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported first quarter 2025 earnings as the news of the CEO stepping down dominated, casting a shadow over the otherwise decent results. The company announced that Lead Independent Director, Peter M. Neupert, will serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair, as Thomas Pike stepped down from his role beginning May 13, 2025. This likely created some uncertainty regarding the near-term direction of the business, which investors typically react negatively to. Also, sales slipped a bit compared to the previous year. Still, Fortrea blew past analysts' sales and earnings forecasts. Zooming out, we think this quarter featured some important positives marred by the uncertainty of leadership.

The outperformance came from a potent mix of sports and streaming, with the Super Bowl and Tubi's ad sales driving a 27% increase in sales. Zooming out, we think this quarter featured some important positives.

Zooming out, we think this was a mixed yet decent marred by short-term challenges.
