Shares of consumer products giant Clorox (NYSECLX) fell 7% in the afternoon session after the company reported underwhelming fourth quarter results, with revenue down 15%, reflecting inventory normalization and the sale of the Better Health Vitamins, Minerals & Supplements (VMS) and Argentina businesses. This marks a sharp reversal from the 16% growth a year ago. The previous year's numbers got a temporary lift when Clorox restocked stores after the August 2023 cyberattack. That boost didn't repeat, making sales look weaker this quarter. Also, organic sales fell 9%, showing that core operations are struggling. Looking ahead, the company expects full-year sales to stay the same, aside from a 1-2% boost from extra shipments tied to the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) switch, which isn't expected to recur. 

Shares of action camera company GoPro (NASDAQGPRO) jumped 9% in the afternoon session after it clarified in a press release that it expects its diversified supply chain to soften the blow of U.S. tariffs.

Shares of snack food company J&J Snack Foods (NASDAQJJSF) fell 11.1% in the morning session after the company reported underwhelming fourth quarter results.

Overall, this was a weak quarter.

Shares of global pharmaceutical company Merck (NYSEMRK) fell 11% in the morning session after the company reported mixed fourth-quarter earnings. Its full-year revenue and EPS guidance missed by a long shot. The company blamed some of the softness on rising competition and weak demand in China. On the other hand, Merck blew past analysts' constant currency revenue expectations this quarter, and its EPS outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Overall, this was a softer quarter.

Shares of data-mining and analytics company Palantir (NYSEPLTR) jumped 26.9% in the morning session after the company reported impressive fourth-quarter results, which blew past analysts' billings, revenue, and EPS estimates, amid encouraging AI demand. Both its commercial and government businesses posted strong double-digit growth. The government side remains the bigger earner, but the commercial division is gaining ground, especially in the U.S. There, commercial sales jumped 64% from a year ago and 20% from the prior quarter. Looking ahead, the outlook provided was also encouraging, with the company's 2025 revenue guidance exceeding expectations. Zooming out, we think this was an outstanding quarter.

While revenue also beat analysts' estimates, sales declined year on year.

Overall, this was a weaker quarter.
