A number of stocks fell in the pre-market session after markets pulled back amid hotter-than-expected inflation data. The main concern for investors was the July Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of wholesale inflation.

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after markets pulled back as a hotter-than-expected wholesale inflation report for July dampened hopes for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. The U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI), a key measure of wholesale inflation, rose 0.9% month-over-month in July, far exceeding the 0.2% increase that economists had predicted. Annually, prices at the wholesale level jumped 3.3%, also surpassing the 2.5% forecast. This hotter-than-expected data has poured cold water on widespread expectations for an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve next month. Persistent inflation makes it less likely for the central bank to ease monetary policy. Sectors with high-growth stocks, such as SaaS, are particularly sensitive to interest rate changes, as the prospect of higher rates for longer can diminish the present value of their future earnings, leading to a decline in stock prices.

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after markets pulled back as hotter-than-expected wholesale inflation data was released, raising concerns about the future path of interest rates. The U.S. Labor Department reported that the Producer Price Index (PPI), which measures inflation at the wholesale level, jumped 3.3% year-over-year in July, significantly above economists' forecasts of 2.5%. This unexpected increase suggests that cost pressures are building for businesses, which could eventually be passed on to consumers. The hotter-than-expected data prompted investors to scale back bets on an imminent interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Higher interest rates can dampen economic activity and negatively affect the valuations of growth-oriented stocks, such as those in the internet sector, leading to a broad market retreat.

Shares of luxury fashion conglomerate Tapestry (NYSE:TPR) fell 13.9% in the morning session after the company reported mixed second-quarter results that included a significant miss on profitability. While the parent company of Coach and Kate Spade posted revenue of $1.72 billion, up 8.3% year-on-year and beating analyst estimates, it recorded a steep GAAP loss of $2.49 per share, falling well short of Wall Street's profit expectations. The loss was driven by a dramatic contraction in operating margin, a key measure of profitability, which swung to negative 33.9% from a positive 14.8% in the prior year's quarter. Although Tapestry's full-year guidance was viewed as solid, the severe miss on the bottom line and deteriorating margins in the reported quarter prompted a sharp sell-off in the stock.

NASA has a stunning ambition to put nuclear reactors on the Moon, and this stock is gaining big time. But, is the surge based on hype alone, or real potential?

Shares of casual restaurant chain Noodles & Company (NASDAQ:NDLS) fell 23.2% in the morning session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter 2025 financial results and lowered its full-year guidance. The fast-casual restaurant chain missed analyst expectations across the board. Revenue was $126.4 million, falling short of the $131.6 million consensus estimate. The company's adjusted loss per share of $0.12 was double the $0.06 loss analysts had anticipated. Profitability also deteriorated significantly, with the operating margin plummeting to negative 11.7% from a positive 1% in the same quarter last year, reflecting rising costs that the company could not pass on to customers. Compounding the issue, Noodles & Co. substantially lowered its full-year revenue outlook to a midpoint of $491 million, a 3.3% decrease from its prior forecast and below Wall Street's expectations. The collection of negative results prompted a sell-off in the shares.

Shares of industrial products distributor Applied Industrial (NYSE:AIT) fell 3.2% in the morning session after the company released fiscal 2026 earnings guidance that fell short of analyst expectations, compounding broader market fears sparked by a hotter-than-expected inflation report. Despite beating Wall Street's quarterly earnings forecasts, the industrial distributor's outlook for fiscal 2026 disappointed investors. Applied Industrial projected earnings between $10.00 and $10.75 per share, with the midpoint falling below the analyst consensus of $10.65. The company's cautious guidance cited ongoing "economic, trade and interest rate uncertainty." These company-specific concerns were amplified by troubling macroeconomic data released the same day. The U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI), which tracks inflation for businesses, surged 0.9% in July, far higher than the 0.2% expected. This sharp increase in wholesale costs sparked fears of shrinking corporate profit margins and dimmed hopes for near-term interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, putting additional pressure on cyclical sectors like industrials.

Shares of burger restaurant chain Red Robin (NASDAQ:RRGB) jumped 5.3% in the morning session after the company reported a surprise second-quarter profit and a significant improvement in margins, which overshadowed a drop in revenue and a lowered full-year forecast. Red Robin delivered an adjusted profit of $0.26 per share, crushing analysts' expectations for a loss of $0.06. This strong bottom-line performance was driven by improved efficiency, as the company’s operating margin increased to 3.5%, a significant 5-percentage-point jump from the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA, a key measure of profitability, also came in at $22.4 million, beating Wall Street's estimates by over 24%. These positive results resonated with investors, outweighing concerns from a 5.5% year-on-year revenue decline, a 3.2% drop in same-store sales, and lowered revenue and EBITDA guidance for the full year.

Shares of materials and photonics company Coherent (NYSE:COHR) fell 23.2% in the morning session after the company issued disappointing revenue guidance for its upcoming third quarter, which overshadowed its otherwise strong second-quarter financial results. For its second quarter of calendar year 2025, Coherent reported revenue of $1.53 billion and an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.00, beating Wall Street's expectations on both fronts. However, the positive results were undermined by the company's forecast for the third quarter. Coherent guided for third-quarter revenue of approximately $1.53 billion, which came in slightly below analysts' consensus estimate of $1.54 billion. This weaker-than-expected outlook signaled potential headwinds, leading investors to focus on future growth concerns rather than the solid quarterly performance, prompting a sell-off in the shares.

Shares of agricultural and construction machinery company Deere (NYSE:DE) fell 7.9% in the morning session after the company reported second-quarter results that, despite beating revenue expectations, showed a significant year-over-year decline in profitability. While the company's revenue grew 5.5% year-over-year to $12.02 billion, surpassing analyst forecasts, investors focused on the weakening bottom line. Deere's earnings per share fell to $4.75 from $6.29 in the same quarter last year, although this figure did beat Wall Street's estimates. A key area of concern for investors was the company's shrinking profitability. The operating margin, a measure of core business profitability, contracted sharply to 13% from 20.2% a year ago, indicating that expenses grew faster than revenue. This significant decline in operational efficiency and the steep drop in year-over-year earnings appeared to outweigh the positive sales news, prompting a negative reaction from the market.

Shares of global electronics contract manufacturer Kimball Electronics (NYSE:KE) jumped 8.7% in the morning session after the company reported second-quarter 2025 earnings and revenue that significantly surpassed analyst expectations. The electronics manufacturer posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.34, which was 83.8% higher than Wall Street estimates. Revenue for the quarter came in at $380.5 million, also beating consensus forecasts by 14.2%. This strong outperformance likely caught investors' attention, as the results were better than feared. The positive surprise came even as sales fell 11.6% from the same period last year, reflecting a broader cyclical downturn in the Electrical Systems industry. However, looking ahead, analysts project that both revenue and earnings will decline over the next twelve months.
