Greenbrier Stock Jumps as Backlog and Margins Impress

Greenbrier Companies (GBX) surged over 13% in premarket trading Wednesday after reporting a robust set of third-quarter results that easily cleared Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines.
Revenue climbed to $842.7 million, up from $820.2 million a year ago and well above the $785.7 million consensus. Net income also surged to $60 million, or $1.86 per share, from $33.9 million, or $1.06, in the year-ago quarter, a nearly 73% jump in earnings.
The freight railcar manufacturer, which operates across North America, Europe, and Brazil, cited steady execution, supply chain improvements, and expansion efforts in Mexico and Europe as key contributors.
Management highlighted a backlog of 18,900 new railcar orders valued at $2.5 billion and signaled confidence in ongoing demand, particularly in Europe and Brazil.
Recurring revenue from the company’s Leasing & Fleet Management division continued to grow, supporting investor optimism despite macro headwinds. Sentiment on Stocktwits registered in “extremely bullish” territory, with some retail traders calling for a move back to $60 in short order.
Shares of Greenbrier are still down more than 20% year-to-date (before the premarket move) but appear to be regaining traction following this earnings rebound.

Tech
Bezos Cashes Out as Amazon Expands AI-Powered Warehouse Fleet

Amazon (AMZN) shares are slightly lower in Wednesday’s premarket trading after the company announced a major milestone in its robotics program and fresh insider selling from founder Jeff Bezos.
The company announced that it has deployed over 1 million warehouse robots across its global fulfillment network, further solidifying its position as a leader in industrial automation.
Amazon also introduced a new AI model called “DeepFleet,” designed to reduce robot travel time by 10%, boosting efficiency and delivery speeds.
Despite these gains, the expansion has renewed fears about job displacement, as CEO Andy Jassy admitted that AI may reduce headcount in certain areas, even as hiring continues in others.
Separately, Bezos sold another 3.3 million Amazon shares worth approximately $737 million, part of a prearranged plan that allows him to offload up to 25 million shares by mid-2026.
The sale follows his recent high-profile wedding in Venice and adds to a long history of stock liquidations tied to philanthropic efforts and Blue Origin funding.
Investors appear mixed on the news as the market weighs long-term efficiency gains against near-term headwinds and workforce uncertainty.

Macau Momentum Has LVS Shares Jumping 9% Early

Las Vegas Sands (LVS) shares are up nearly 9% in premarket trading on Wednesday, following a surge in Macau gaming revenue that has reignited investor interest in U.S. casino operators with exposure to the Asian market.
The latest data from Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau showed a 19% year-over-year jump in gambling revenue for June, confirming a robust rebound in consumer spending across the region.
Las Vegas Sands, which operates six large-scale resorts in Macau, stands to benefit more than rivals thanks to its deeper regional footprint. Additional tailwinds include an 11% rise in Q1 tourism and hotel occupancy levels, which are nearing 90%.
The bullish trend arrives just ahead of the company’s next earnings report, set for July 23. Although Q1 results missed revenue estimates slightly, the company maintains solid margins and has recently announced a $2-billion share buyback plan, alongside a quarterly dividend payout.
Analyst sentiment is mostly positive, with a “Moderate Buy” consensus and an average price target of $55.58, suggesting further upside. With Chinese travel trends turning the corner, LVS could be entering a hot streak just as the summer earnings season kicks off.

Movers and Shakers

Nkarta, Inc. [NKTX] – Last Close: $1.71
Nkarta is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing off-the-shelf natural killer (NK) cell therapies for the treatment of cancer. Its therapies aim to enhance the innate immune system’s ability to recognize and destroy tumor cells, distinguishing it in the competitive immunotherapy space.
Shares are up 8.2% in premarket trading today, building on recent momentum driven by broader biotech interest and optimism surrounding cell therapy platforms. The stock is up over 3% in the past week and appears to be catching speculative interest ahead of potential trial updates.
My Take: NKTX is still a high-risk play, but its unique off-the-shelf NK approach offers scalability advantages over CAR-T. It’s worth watching if momentum persists and trial results show promise.
Cipher Mining [CIFR] – Last Close: $4.90
Cipher Mining, a U.S.-based Bitcoin mining firm, is seeing a strong move higher in premarket trading as crypto-related stocks rebound alongside a modest recovery in Bitcoin prices. The stock is up over 7% ahead of market open, as investors look to reposition around infrastructure names in the digital asset space.
The company has continued to scale operations at its Odessa and Bear facilities, leveraging low-cost power contracts and efficient hardware to remain competitive even in volatile cryptocurrency markets. Cipher also reported improved monthly production metrics last week, with higher self-mined Bitcoin and increased operational hashrate.
My Take: CIFR stands out among miners for its energy strategy and disciplined cost structure. If Bitcoin stays firm or continues to rally, this name could see further upside, though like others in the sector, it remains highly sensitive to BTC price swings. It’s best suited for high-risk, high-reward exposure.
Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. [EOSE] – Last Close: $4.87
Eos Energy develops and manufactures long-duration zinc-based battery storage systems, targeting grid-scale renewable energy applications. It has positioned itself as a key alternative to lithium-ion storage, especially for utilities and industrial users.
Shares are up 7% in premarket trading, adding to a staggering 497% 1-year gain. The rally follows sustained investor optimism around energy transition plays and the company’s growing backlog of commercial orders.
My Take: EOSE is a top name to watch in the long-duration battery race. Execution risks remain, but its tech could be a game-changer if it continues to secure large utility deals.
