Home Depot (NYSE: HD) reported mixed first-quarter results this morning, with investors reacting positively despite the earnings miss as the company navigates rising costs tied to new tariffs.
Revenue rose 9.4% year-over-year to $39.86 billion, surpassing expectations of $39.27 billion. However, adjusted earnings per share dropped nearly 5% to $3.45, falling short of analysts’ forecast of $3.59. Same-store sales slipped 0.3%, slightly worse than anticipated.
Despite the softer earnings, shares are up 2.4% in premarket trading, with the company reiterating its full-year forecast, projecting 2.8% net sales growth and a 1% rise in same-store sales.
CEO Ted Decker noted the quarter met internal expectations, with shoppers focusing more on smaller renovation jobs. CFO Richard McPhail emphasized the importance of U.S.-based sourcing and ongoing efforts to diversify the supply chain in light of tariff pressures.
New U.S. trade policies under the Trump administration have slashed tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, but uncertainty continues to impact consumer behavior.
Higher Treasury yields and a sluggish housing market have also dampened demand for large-scale home projects.
Pegasystems (NASDAQ: PEGA) shares are surging over 6% in premarket trading Tuesday after being named to the S&P MidCap 400 Index, replacing Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) following the department store's buyout agreement.
The software firm is set to be added to the index on Thursday, May 22, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.
The change comes as Nordstrom prepares to go private in a $4 billion transaction led by the founding Nordstrom family and Mexican retailer El Puerto de Liverpool.
The Waltham, Massachusetts-based company, which specializes in AI-powered customer engagement and business process software, has a market capitalization of roughly $8.4 billion, with 85.6 million shares outstanding, according to LSEG data.
The inclusion follows a strong Q1 performance, with Pegasystems reporting adjusted earnings per share of $1.53—far exceeding Wall Street’s forecast of $0.49. That earnings surprise sent shares up nearly 29% in a single day in April.

Amer Sports (NYSE: AS) is climbing 12% in premarket trading Tuesday after delivering a robust first-quarter earnings beat and lifting its 2025 guidance.
The Finnish sports gear and apparel company—known for brands such as Arc'teryx, Salomon, and Wilson—reported net income of $138.1 million, or $0.24 per share, up sharply from $6.9 million, or $0.01 per share, a year ago. Analyst were expecting $0.15 per share.
Revenue for the quarter rose 23.5% to $1.47 billion, surpassing estimates of $1.39 billion. The company now projects full-year revenue growth of 15% to 17%, up from a prior range of 13% to 15%.
It also boosted its full-year earnings forecast to $0.67–$0.72 per share, compared to previous guidance of $0.64–$0.69.
Amer Sports revised its forecast assuming current tariff levels—30% on Chinese imports and 10% on goods from other countries—remain in place.
CEO James Zheng expressed confidence in the company’s ability to navigate trade challenges, citing strong brand pricing power and minimal U.S. revenue exposure.
Siyata Mobile is a Canadian developer of push-to-talk (PoC) communication devices for first responders and enterprise clients.
The stock is continuing to surge (+60%) today after yesterday’s rally because the firm is entering a $160 million merger with Core Gaming, a large AI-driven mobile gaming firm.
Core Gaming reported approximately $80 million in revenue for 2024, with projections reaching $240.8 million by 2026.
My Take: This merger could be a game-changer for Siyata, providing a significant growth avenue through Core Gaming's expansive user base and AI capabilities. Watch out for progress on the merger.
ASP Isotopes Inc. is an advanced materials company that services critical sectors such as medical imaging, semiconductors, and quantum computing.
In fiscal year 2024, the company reported revenue of $4.14 million with a net loss of $35.11 million, reflecting its ongoing investments in scaling operations. The stock has risen 60% YTD.
ASPI is up 13% in premarket trade following the announcement of a financing and supply agreement with TerraPower, a nuclear innovation company backed by Bill Gates.
My Take: A potential acquisition of Renergen and the partnership with TerraPower, position ASPI as a key player in the critical materials sector. Advanced materials is definitely a good sector to be in right now. Keep a close watch on this one.
Eyenovia is an ophthalmic technology company specializing in the Optejet® platform for precise eye medication delivery. The stock has declined over 90% YTD, but has recently stabilized following a reverse stock split to regain Nasdaq compliance.
It is rising 58% in premarket trading today due to positive updates on its potential merger with Betaliq and progress in the development of the user-filled Optejet device, which is on track for U.S. regulatory approval filing in September 2025.
My Take: Eyenovia’s merger with Betaliq is a positive news for the firm. Keep a note of how the deal progresses.
