On this episode of Stock Movers with Alexis Christoforous:
– Walmart (WMT) shares are on the move after reporting earnings. It reported solid sales growth, with comparable sales in US stores rising, excluding fuel, in the latest quarter. The company’s focus on low prices, fast delivery, and wide assortment has helped it gain market share across income levels.
– Intuit (INTU) shares are sinking after the tax-preparation software company reported its third-quarter results and gave an outlook. It also said it is cutting about 17% of its staff, confirming an earlier Reuters report.
– Deere & Co (DE) shares are getting a boost from its construction and forestry segments, helping to offset volatile agriculture markets that continue to crimp farmer spending. (Source: Bloomberg)
