Why Nano Dimension Stock Triumphed on Thursday
Key Points Investors liked that the company's financial reporting will be more aligned with that of most publicly traded companies in the U.S. It has adopted the GAAP accounting standard. 10 stocks we like better than Nano Dimension › Usually, with publicly traded companies, a change in accounting regime doesn't have much of an effect on investor sentiment. That wasn't quite the case Thursday with additive manufacturing specialist Nano Dimension (NASDAQ: NNDM), which saw its share price bump almost 3% higher on news of such a shift. That rise contrasted rather well with the slight (0.4%) decrease of the S&P 500 index. Four important new initials The change is from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) frequently used by companies overseas, to the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) heavily favored in the U.S. This move is pleasing to the many U.S. investors who either hold or track the stock, as from now the company's financials will be in line with some of the top businesses in this country. For anyone who isn't an accountant, IFRS and GAAP statements look fairly similar, with few significant disparities. As part of its shift, Nano Dimension published its 2024 annual results under GAAP standards. Not surprisingly, they matched the IFRS figures for the most part -- revenue was the same, at under $57.8 million, as were balance sheet items such as cash and cash equivalents, and inventory. Still deep in the red There were several differences worth noting, though, mainly in the profit and loss statement's bottom line. The company's net loss across 2024 was a touch steeper under the new standard, at just under $99.9 million; the IFRS-compliant deficit was $96.9 million. No line item experienced such a drastic change as to warrant concern, or shift anyone's take on Nano Dimension's performance. So ultimately, the accounting move was taken as a positive by market players. Should you invest $1,000 in Nano Dimension right now?

Former Walmart U.S. CEO Bill Simon questions stock drop: 'It was about as good of a quarter as any retailer could have in any environment'
Walmart's former U.S. CEO Bill Simon thinks Thursday's stock drop is bizarre. The big-box retailer lifted its full-year sales and earnings forecast, but the stock still slid 4.5%. Walmart ended Thursday as the Dow's biggest loser. "It was about as good of a quarter as any retailer could have in any environment," he said on CNBC's "Fast Money." "I don't get the decline in the market today at all." Simon, who ran Walmart U.S. from 2010 to 2014, cites Walmart's ability to engage shoppers with lower prices while absorbing tariffs as a key advantage. "If you liked them yesterday, I don't know why you don't love them today. Topline is growing. They're expanding their margin," he said. "They are really hitting it on all cylinders." Simon is still active in the consumer space —now serving on the Darden Restaurants board and as Hanesbrands chairman. When it comes to Walmart, he sees the decision to raise guidance despite tariffs as a key reason for optimism. "As far as the tariffs go, there's no tariff impact to that business," Simon said. He suggested investors may have been hung up on Walmart's first earnings miss in more than three years — which was mostly driven by one-off expenses including restructuring costs and insurance claims. "It's a big number, but it's a one-time adjustment," said Simon. "It's not a... systemic issue." Simon hasn't always been bullish on Walmart's business. In May 2024, he told "Fast Money" that high-income shoppers were creating a "bubble" at Walmart. His concern: They would return to premium retailers once inflation started to abate. But that hasn't happened. Simon now contends the pull of cheaper prices and convenience of having groceries and general merchandise in one place as magnetic. "If they [Walmart] can keep those toplines going, and that's their forecast, they're going to be just a bear of a company," Simon said. Walmart shares are up 8% so far this year. However, they're about 7% below the record high hit on Feb. 14. Disclaimer
