Coca-Cola to launch new U.S. soda with cane sugar this fall
The announcement, which came as the company reported second-quarter earnings, follows a social media post by President Trump last week claiming that he had persuaded Coca-Cola to use real cane sugar in its U.S. cola.
Mr. Trump, who is known to be a fan of Diet Coke, wrote in the July 16 post on Truth Social that he had been "speaking to Coca-Cola" about the suggestion and that "they have agreed to do so."
Coke said the new product will use cane sugar produced in the U.S. and will expand its product range. "This addition is designed to complement the company's strong core portfolio and offer more choices across occasions and preferences," the company said in a statement Tuesday.
Coca-Cola already makes soda with cane sugar in Mexico, where it's sold in glass bottles. Coke's U.S. cola formula uses high-fructose corn syrup, according to Coca-Cola's website. The Mexican version is typically pricier when it's imported and sold in the U.S.
Cane sugar is nearly 100% sucrose, which consists of roughly 50% glucose and 50% fructose. By contrast, the most common form of high-fructose corn syrup contains 55% fructose and 45% glucose. Fructose is handled differently in the body than other sugars, and some experts warn that it contribute to a range of health issues.
Coca-Cola on Tuesday reported that net revenue of $12.5 billion in the April to July period, up 1% from the year-ago period and in line Wall Street forecasts, according to analysts polled by FactSet. Net income for the quarter rose 58% to $3.8 billion.
The company attributed its strong performance in part to its marketing, efforts including its "Share a Coke" campaign that features personalized bottles and cans.

Retail ETFs Pop on EU Deal; MAGS, QQQ Rise Ahead of Earnings
Retail ETFs jumped on Monday as the United States clinched a trade deal with the European Union, setting tariffs at 15%. The deal comes just ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline the White House set for all tariff negotiations, refusing to extend or delay any further. Speaking alongside U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Donald Trump explained that going forward, there would be a "global tariff" in the range of 15%-20%. Retail ETFs jumped on the news while broad markets also inched higher before paring gains. XRT Flatlines, VGK Drops The SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) rose mildly in early trading Monday before falling by 0.5% midday. The ProShares Online Retail ETF (ONLN) fared much better, jumping nearly 1% before giving back some gains, boosted in part by tech darling Inc. (AMZN). The EU is the largest trading partner to the United States with major imports in the furniture, wine/alcohol, rubber and machinery categories. The $600 billion dollar deal would see the EU increase American energy and defense imports. The Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK) fell 1.9% as of midday Monday on the news. But despite the White House lauding the trade agreement as a "landmark deal," investors have set their sights on earnings and an upcoming Fed decision. MAGS Jumps Ahead of Major Tech Earnings Four members of the "Magnificent Seven"—Meta Platforms Inc. (META), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Apple Inc. (AAPL) and AMZN—are set to report quarterly earnings this week, turning investor interest to the tech sector. Markets are set to pay close attention to any news about artificial intelligence and investments into AI tech and strategies. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) jumped Monday as investors were more attracted to risk ahead of earnings. The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), which mirrors the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index, also notched gains. Invest in Gold Thor Metals Group: Best Overall Gold IRA Priority Gold: Up to $15k in Free Silver + Zero Account Fees on Qualifying Purchase American Hartford Gold: #1 Precious Metals Dealer in the Nation Tech companies will have to clear a lower bar this quarter after analysts slashed estimates amid tariff concerns and the central bank holding rates steady. Last week, Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) beat earnings expectations and raised spending forecasts. But Mag 7 member Tesla Inc. (TSLA) disappointed, pointing to slumping revenue and tougher margins. Tesla CEO Elon Musk told investors to brace for some rough quarters in the future. Fed Expected to Hold Rates Steady Rounding out a busy week ahead, the Federal Reserve is set to meet this week and make a decision on rates. According to the CME FedWatch Tool markets are pricing a 97% chance that the Fed will hold rates steady. A rate cut is largely not expected until the fall at the September FOMC meeting. Tariff concerns have continued to weigh on the central bank, which is currently walking a tightrope between economic stimulus and reigning in inflation. The impact of tariffs has yet to appear in inflation reports, causing the Fed to hold its course. During testimony last month in front of the House Financial Services Committee, Fed Chair Jerome Powell confirmed that the Fed would have cut rates by now were it not for tariffs. Bond yields rose Monday in advance of the Fed meeting, sending Treasury bond prices lower. Yields and prices move in opposite directions.

Why Opendoor Stock Plummeted by Almost 8% on Monday
Key Points The company delayed a shareholder vote about its equity until August. It is considering a reverse stock split -- often not a good sign. 10 stocks we like better than Opendoor Technologies › Investors eagerly shut the door on real estate transaction platform developer Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) on Monday. They didn't take kindly to news of an important vote on the company's future, and sent the share price down by almost 8% on the day. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) flatlined across the session, indicating that many other stocks would have been better pickups. Decision delayed Well before market open, Opendoor announced it was to adjourn the special stockholder meeting scheduled for that day. That convocation was intended for a vote on two proposals to effect a reverse stock split of the company's equity. The meeting was rescheduled for this coming Aug. 27. Opendoor investors are being polled on a pair of separate reverse-stock split plans. In its press release on the adjournment, the company stressed that approval of either won't necessarily mean ratification. In its words, "an approval would provide the company's board of directors with an option to pursue a reverse stock split only if the Board believes it is in the best interests of Opendoor and its stockholders, which includes seeking to ensure that Opendoor remains listed on Nasdaq." Nasdaq requires the closing prices of the stocks listed on its exchange to not fall below $1 per share for 30 consecutive days. Opendoor can fall back in compliance if its shares trade above that level for 10 trading days, at minimum, by Nov. 24 of this year. Doing the minimum Reverse stock splits are a common tool used by companies that find their shares underwater, i.e., below those minimum price stipulations. Although they aren't always a sign of a business in trouble, they are certainly not encouraging for shareholders or other folks who might otherwise be interested in the stock. Personally, I'd avoid Opendoor until it can right the ship with its equity. Should you invest $1,000 in Opendoor Technologies right now?

Earnings live: Whirlpool, Tilray stocks tumble, with Spotify earnings on deck
Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones. Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy. This week, investors will be treated to another flurry of quarterly results from Big Tech companies, including Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN). This week's reports also include updates from Spotify (SPOT), Ford (F), Procter & Gamble (PG), Boeing (BA), Starbucks (SBUX), and Qualcomm (QCOM), among others. Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 34% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 5.6% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter. Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. Here are the latest updates from corporate America. Whirlpool stock tumbles after trimming earnings guidance Whirlpool (WHR) stock tumbled 12% after hours. The Michigan-based maker of washers and dryers reported diluted earnings of $1.17 per share on net sales of $3.7 billion. Wall Street was expecting earnings of $1.58 per share on net sales of $3.8 billion. Investors have been watching Whirlpool, which manufactures most of its appliances in the US, as a potential winner from President Trump's tariffs. However, the company hasn't seen the benefits of Trump's policies yet. In fact, retailers front-running expected tariffs appeared to weigh on the company's second quarter results. "As expected, the second quarter continued to be impacted by competitors stockpiling Asian imports into the U.S.," the company said in the earnings release. "Despite this, we are well positioned in North America with a robust pipeline of new products, the industry's leading U.S. manufacturing footprint, and favorable housing demand fundamentals. We are confident in our long-term strategy and believe that evolving tariff policies will ultimately support domestic manufacturers." Whirlpool also cut its full-year guidance to $6 to $8 a share (previously it was $10 a share) and recommended slashing its quarterly dividend to $0.90 per share from $1.75 per share. Waste Management beats on revenue, earnings Waste Management (WM) reported earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street expectations, sending the shares marginally higher in after-hours trading. Earnings per share of $1.92 were ahead of estimates for earnings of $1.90 per share, while revenue of $6.43 billion exceeded estimates of $6.35 billion, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. "Our second quarter results are a strong demonstration of our progress on all fronts," WM CEO Jim Fish said in a release. "Our Collection and Disposal business produced robust organic revenue growth and margin expansion, achieving the Company's best-ever operating expense margin." Waste Management stock rose 0.7% following the results. Tilray stock sinks after earnings Tilray stock (TLRY) reversed gains, sinking 2% after hours after the Canadian cannabis company posted mixed quarterly results. Net revenue was $224.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to $229.9 million in the same period a year ago and $233 million estimated, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. Tilray posted adjusted earnings of $0.02 per share, compared to expectations for flat profitability. For its fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, Tilray expects to achieve adjusted EBITDA of $62 million to $72 million Listen to the earnings call live here.

S&P 500 hits record highs amid parade of earnings with more Big Tech results on deck The S&P 500 (^GSPC) cleared its fifth straight record high on Friday after a busy week of earnings, headlined by reports from Google (GOOG) and (TSLA). With 34% of S&P 500 companies having reported results, 80% have reported a positive earnings per share surprise, and 80% reported a positive revenue surprise. Earnings season isn't slowing down just yet, however, with more major companies reporting next week. Notable companies reporting include Big Tech giants such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) and consumer-facing names like Procter & Gamble (PG) and Mastercard (MA) that can provide an updated view on consumer health. Here's a look at the earnings calendar for the next five business days: Monday: Tilray (TLRY), Waste Management (WM), Whirlpool (WHR) Tuesday: Boeing (BA), Booking Holdings (BKNG), Caesars (CZR), Cheesecake Factory (CAKE), Merck (MRK), PayPal (PYPL), Procter & Gamble (PG), Spotify (SPOT), Starbucks (SBUX), SoFi (SOFI), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), UPS (UPS), Visa (V) Wednesday: Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Arm (ARM), Altria (MO), Carvana (CVNA), Ford (F), Generac (GNRC), Harley Davidson (HOG), Hershey (HSY), Humana (HUM), The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC), Qualcomm (QCOM), Robinhood (HOOD) Thursday: Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), Cigna (CI), Coinbase (COIN), CVS Health (CVS), Mastercard (MA), Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH), Reddit (RDDT), Roblox (RBLX), Roku (ROKU), Strategy (MSTR) Friday: Chevron (CVX), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Exxon Mobil (XOM) Intel turnaround story could realistically take years, analyst says Intel (INTC) stock fell 9% on Friday after the company reported quarterly results on Thursday that showed it was focused on cost-cutting. Intel's revenue of $12.8 billion beat analyst expectations of $11.8 billion, per Bloomberg data, and the chipmaker issued an upbeat Q3 revenue forecast of between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion. But the company continues to face challenges as it attempts to transform into a chipmaker as well as a chip designer. As Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton noted in our markets blog, investors focused on Intel's manufacturing roadmap instead of its headline numbers for the quarter. Intel, once a leading global chipmaker, has fallen behind its rivals in both its own products and its attempt to manufacture chips for outside customers. 'This is a multiquarter — realistically, probably multiyear — kind of complete turnaround story before all the benefits start to show up,' TECHnalysis Research president and chief analyst Bob O'Donnell told Yahoo Finance following the report. Boston Beer Company says strong profits helped brewer absorb tariff costs The Boston Beer Company (SAM) reported earnings and revenue that topped analyst expectations on Thursday, and the Samuel Adams brewer maintained its earnings outlook for the year. Profits were $5.45 per share on revenue of $625 million, versus estimates for earnings of $4.00 per share on $588 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. SAM stock popped 6% on Friday, as the company also said it expects to see lower tariff costs than previously expected. For the full year, Boston Beer expects tariffs to weigh on costs by about $15 million to $20 million, instead of the $20 million to $30 million it previously modeled. "Right now, I think we're very happy with the performance," Boston Beer CEO Michael Spillane said on the earnings call. "Not only that, but that's allowed us to offset some of the tariffs that we've seen so far." Charter loses more broadband users in Q2 as competition heats up Charter Communications (CHTR) stock fell 10% premarket Friday after reporting a higher-than-expected fall in broadband subscribers in the second quarter. Reuters reports: Read more here. Puma stock plunges after reporting net loss, with challenges persisting throughout 2025 Puma ( stock plunged 17% after the German sports apparel company lowered its forecast and said it now expects sales to fall by double digits this year. During the second quarter, sales fell everywhere except Latin America and the Middle East, particularly in apparel (-10.7%) and accessories (-6.4%). Footwear sales grew 5.1%, which wasn't enough to offset softness elsewhere. The company swung to a net loss of 241 million euros (roughly $282 million), compared to net income of 41.9 million euros the year before. The sportswear company also noted a hit from tariffs. "Despite ongoing mitigating measures such as supply chain optimization, pricing adjustments and partner collaboration, the U.S. Tariffs are expected to have a mitigated negative impact in 2025 of around € 80 million on gross profit," Puma said in its release. Phillips 66 profit beats estimates on higher refining margins Phillips 66 (PSX) stock rose about 1% in premarket trading after the US refiner reported an adjusted profit of $2.38 per share, beating Wall Street EPS estimates of about $1.71. During the quarter, Phillips 66 returned $906 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. Reuters reports: Read more here.

On Thursday, Deckers reported net sales grew 17% to $964.5 million, above estimates of $901.4 million, per Bloomberg data. Profits surged 24%, with diluted earnings per share coming in at $0.93. "HOKA and UGG outperformed our first quarter expectations, with robust growth delivering solid results to begin fiscal year 2026," CEO Stefano Caroti said in a press release. "Though uncertainty remains elevated in the global trade environment, our confidence in our brands has not changed, and the long-term opportunities ahead are significant. We will lean on the fundamental strengths of our powerful operating model as we continue executing our strategy." The main story for the quarter was Deckers' international business: International net sales rose 49.7%, offsetting a 2.8% decline in domestic sales. The company expects net sales for the current quarter in the range of $1.38 billion to $1.42 billion, in line with analyst estimates. Earnings are expected to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.55 per share. Read more here. Intel stock rises on Q2 revenue beat, plans to cut 15% of workforce Intel (INTC) second quarter revenue beat analyst estimates, but its earnings fell short of expectations. The chip giant also said it is slashing its workforce by 15% and expects to have approximately 75,000 employees by the end of the year. Intel's new CEO Lip-Bu Tan has already undertaken or is exploring several cost-cutting measures. According to the Oregonian, the company is shuttering its automotive business, outsourcing marketing jobs, and laying off factory workers. Yahoo Finance's Daniel Howley has more details on Intel's results: Read more here. Intel to report Q2 earnings as Wall Street looks for signs of turnaround Intel (INTC) will report its second quarter earnings on Thursday as the company's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, continues his attempt to turn around the ailing chip giant. Yahoo Finance's Dan Howley details what to expect when Intel reports: Read more here. Southwest CFO says decision to lower guidance by $1 billion was 'macro-driven' Southwest (LUV) stock tanked on Thursday after the airline's earnings results missed estimates. Shares fell over 12% as the earnings call with investors began. (You can listen to the full call here.) Earlier on Thursday, Southwest CFO Tom Doxey told Yahoo Finance that the company's disappointing results were primarily caused by broader economic challenges, tariff uncertainty, and weaker consumer sentiment. Doxey confirmed that Southwest lowered its full-year pre-tax profit (EBIT) guidance to $600 million-$800 million from the $1.7 billion forecast previously. 'There's an estimate of about $800 million to $1 billion in revenue degradation that has occurred as a result of the macro,' Doxey said. 'The number is large, but it is macro-driven.' He said that Southwest's domestic travel revenue outperformed peers. But the overall domestic segment underperformed international and premium travel, which are the strengths of other airlines like Delta (DAL) and United (UAL). Southwest's second quarter got off to a rocky start as consumer confidence plummeted to a three-year low after President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement in April. That translated to lower travel demand at the beginning of the peak summer season. However, things are improving, Doxey said. 'Demand fell off quite quickly during that period,' he noted. 'The great news is we're starting to see that stabilize.' Blackstone assets under management surge, COO says dealmaking pause 'is behind us' Blackstone (BX) surprised Wall Street analysts on Thursday when it reported its assets under management surged 13% to a record $1.21 trillion. Profits also rose 72% to $764 million, compared to the second quarter of last year, sending shares nearly 5% higher in early trading. Notably, Blackstone's No. 2 echoed other big banks in the company's earnings call in saying that the dealmaking pause is behind us. Yahoo Finance's David Hollerith reports: Read more here. Alphabet in 'AI (beast) mode': 5 takeaways from Google's earnings call Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) shares rose in early trading as investor sentiment grew positive on the stock following its bullish earnings call commentary and strong Q2 results. And my colleague Brian Sozzi jotted down some takeaways from the earnings call that help explain the bullish mood today: Sozzi noted that, in many ways, it's surprising that Alphabet stock is up just 1.5% this morning, as it's trading at only 19.3 times forward earnings on a PE basis (S&P 500 is at 24 times). Several Wall Street analysts agreed. "AI (beast) mode — it's time to close the valuation gap," KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson said. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives added, "We continue see a favorable risk/reward for Alphabet and think there is a case for multiple expansion in the coming quarters as investors gain more comfort around the current macro environment, regulatory risk, and the impact of generative AI on the business."

Uptick in coal shipments boosts Union Pacific earnings Union Pacific (UNP) second quarter profits exceeded Wall Street's expectations, driven by operational improvements, higher freight volumes, and improved pricing. The stock fell 2% ahead of the opening bell Thursday. The economic bellwether saw an uptick in coal shipment volumes in the second quarter, as well as in shipments of grain products and industrial chemicals. The improvement in coal shipments stood out after President Trump signed executive orders boosting the industry, which has been a weak spot for railroad operators. Union Pacific confirmed that it is in talks with Norfolk Southern (NSC) on a possible merger that would reshape the US's railroad industry. The magnitude of a combination of the railroad operators would put the deal under close regulatory and antitrust scrutiny. Here's what Union Pacific reported in Q2, per Reuters: Read more here. American Airlines restores 2025 forecast, flags economic worries for keeping it broad American Airlines (AAL) maintained a broad 2025 forecast on Thursday, citing economic uncertainty, with one of the outcomes being a loss to profit. The carrier's shares fell 6% before the bell. The airline is facing challenges in the domestic travel market, where travel spending remains weak due to US tariffs and budget cuts.

Honeywell beats on earnings, raises 2025 forecasts on sustained demand for aerospace parts, services Honeywell (HON) stock fell premarket despite reporting an earnings beat and guidance raise. Adjusted earnings per share of $2.75 exceeded Wall Street's estimates of $2.66 per share. Sales hit the top end of the company's guidance at $10.4 billion, compared to estimates of $10.1 billion. Strong demand for aerospace parts and maintenance services lifted Honeywell's results as it prepares to split into three companies. The company's aerospace division, its biggest revenue generator, posted a 10.7% jump in sales to $4.31 billion in the second quarter, as the Boeing (BA) and Airbus ( supplier benefited from rising demand and a shortage of new jets. Honeywell raised its revenue outlook and now expects between $40.8 billion and $41.3 billion for the year, up from the $39.6 billion and $40.5 billion it had previously forecast. It also sees 2025 adjusted profit per share between $10.45 and $10.65, up from its previous forecast of $10.20 to $10.50. Read more here from Reuters.

Here's a look at the earnings calendar for the next five business days: Monday: Tilray (TLRY), Waste Management (WM), Whirlpool (WHR) Tuesday: Boeing (BA), Booking Holdings (BKNG), Caesars (CZR), Cheesecake Factory (CAKE), Merck (MRK), PayPal (PYPL), Procter & Gamble (PG), Spotify (SPOT), Starbucks (SBUX), SoFi (SOFI), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), UPS (UPS), Visa (V) Wednesday: Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Arm (ARM), Altria (MO), Carvana (CVNA), Ford (F), Generac (GNRC), Harley Davidson (HOG), Hershey (HSY), Humana (HUM), The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC), Qualcomm (QCOM), Robinhood (HOOD) Thursday: Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), Cigna (CI), Coinbase (COIN), CVS Health (CVS), Mastercard (MA), Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH), Reddit (RDDT), Roblox (RBLX), Roku (ROKU), Strategy (MSTR) Friday: Chevron (CVX), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Exxon Mobil (XOM) Intel turnaround story could realistically take years, analyst says Intel (INTC) stock fell 9% on Friday after the company reported quarterly results on Thursday that showed it was focused on cost-cutting. Intel's revenue of $12.8 billion beat analyst expectations of $11.8 billion, per Bloomberg data, and the chipmaker issued an upbeat Q3 revenue forecast of between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion. But the company continues to face challenges as it attempts to transform into a chipmaker as well as a chip designer. As Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton noted in our markets blog, investors focused on Intel's manufacturing roadmap instead of its headline numbers for the quarter. Intel, once a leading global chipmaker, has fallen behind its rivals in both its own products and its attempt to manufacture chips for outside customers. 'This is a multiquarter — realistically, probably multiyear — kind of complete turnaround story before all the benefits start to show up,' TECHnalysis Research president and chief analyst Bob O'Donnell told Yahoo Finance following the report.

Boston Beer Company says strong profits helped brewer absorb tariff costs The Boston Beer Company (SAM) reported earnings and revenue that topped analyst expectations on Thursday, and the Samuel Adams brewer maintained its earnings outlook for the year.

Southwest CFO says decision to lower guidance by $1 billion was 'macro-driven' Southwest (LUV) stock tanked on Thursday after the airline's earnings results missed estimates. Shares fell over 12% as the earnings call with investors began. (You can listen to the full call here.) Earlier on Thursday, Southwest CFO Tom Doxey told Yahoo Finance that the company's disappointing results were primarily caused by broader economic challenges, tariff uncertainty, and weaker consumer sentiment. Doxey confirmed that Southwest lowered its full-year pre-tax profit (EBIT) guidance to $600 million-$800 million from the $1.7 billion forecast previously. 'There's an estimate of about $800 million to $1 billion in revenue degradation that has occurred as a result of the macro,' Doxey said. 'The number is large, but it is macro-driven.' He said that Southwest's domestic travel revenue outperformed peers. But the overall domestic segment underperformed international and premium travel, which are the strengths of other airlines like Delta (DAL) and United (UAL). Southwest's second quarter got off to a rocky start as consumer confidence plummeted to a three-year low after President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement in April. That translated to lower travel demand at the beginning of the peak summer season. However, things are improving, Doxey said. 'Demand fell off quite quickly during that period,' he noted. 'The great news is we're starting to see that stabilize.' Southwest (LUV) stock tanked on Thursday after the airline's earnings results missed estimates.

Alphabet in 'AI (beast) mode': 5 takeaways from Google's earnings call Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) shares rose in early trading as investor sentiment grew positive on the stock following its bullish earnings call commentary and strong Q2 results. And my colleague Brian Sozzi jotted down some takeaways from the earnings call that help explain the bullish mood today: Sozzi noted that, in many ways, it's surprising that Alphabet stock is up just 1.5% this morning, as it's trading at only 19.3 times forward earnings on a PE basis (S&P 500 is at 24 times). Several Wall Street analysts agreed. "AI (beast) mode — it's time to close the valuation gap," KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson said. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives added, "We continue see a favorable risk/reward for Alphabet and think there is a case for multiple expansion in the coming quarters as investors gain more comfort around the current macro environment, regulatory risk, and the impact of generative AI on the business."

Uptick in coal shipments boosts Union Pacific earnings Union Pacific (UNP) second quarter profits exceeded Wall Street's expectations, driven by operational improvements, higher freight volumes, and improved pricing. The stock fell 2% ahead of the opening bell Thursday. The economic bellwether saw an uptick in coal shipment volumes in the second quarter, as well as in shipments of grain products and industrial chemicals. The improvement in coal shipments stood out after President Trump signed executive orders boosting the industry, which has been a weak spot for railroad operators. Union Pacific confirmed that it is in talks with Norfolk Southern (NSC) on a possible merger that would reshape the US's railroad industry. The magnitude of a combination of the railroad operators would put the deal under close regulatory and antitrust scrutiny. Here's what Union Pacific reported in Q2, per Reuters: Read more here.
