Noodles, GoodRx, Micron, Custom Truck One Source, and CarMax Shares Are Falling, What You Need To Know

Yahoo17 hours ago
What Happened?
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after the major indices continued to pull back, with technology stocks accounting for most of the market's largest decliners. A key reason for this trend is that much of the recent market gains were concentrated in the "AI trade," which includes these large technology and semiconductor companies. So this could also mean that some investors are locking in some gains ahead of more definitive feedback from the Fed.
Despite the downturn, some analysts viewed this as an opportunity to own some of the "Core AI winners." Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities commented, "In our view, the tech bull cycle will be well intact for at least another 2-3 years, given the trillions being spent on AI infrastructure/software/chips/power/apps looking ahead. This remains our tech playbook and investor roadmap." Additionally, mixed earnings reports from retailers, such as Target, have added to the market's weakness. Investors are closely monitoring these reports for insights into the broader economic health and the potential impact of new tariffs on inflation.
The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.
Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Vehicle Retailer company CarMax (NYSE:KMX) fell 4.3%. Is now the time to buy CarMax? Access our full analysis report here, it's free.
Zooming In On GoodRx (GDRX)
GoodRx's shares are very volatile and have had 29 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock gained 40.2% on the news that the company announced a collaboration with pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk to offer the popular medications Ozempic and Wegovy for $499 per month to eligible self-paying customers. This landmark collaboration makes the popular GLP-1 medications—used for type 2 diabetes (Ozempic) and weight loss (Wegovy)—available at a significantly lower cost to those who lack adequate insurance coverage. According to the announcement, this marks the first time Ozempic has been offered at this self-pay price point. The offer is effective immediately and available through the GoodRx platform at over 70,000 retail pharmacies nationwide. Investors reacted positively, viewing the strategic partnership as a pivotal move that could substantially expand GoodRx's market reach and user base by capitalizing on the high-demand therapeutic category.
GoodRx is down 3.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $4.40 per share, it is trading 48.8% below its 52-week high of $8.59 from August 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of GoodRx's shares at the IPO in September 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $87.03.
Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.

Income before income taxes excluding land-related charges and gain on extinguishment of debt, net was $39.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which was at the high end of the guidance range we provided, compared with income before these items of $100.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, income before income taxes excluding land-related charges and gain on extinguishment of debt, net was $109.9 million compared with income before these items of $201.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2024.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, net income was $64.5 million, or $7.94 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $147.7 million, or $19.15 per diluted common share, during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. EBITDA was $61.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $127.9 million for the third quarter of the prior year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, EBITDA was $190.7 million compared with $294.3 million in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $77.1 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2025, which was above the guidance range we provided, compared with $131.0 million in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $210.4 million compared with $296.6 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Consolidated contracts in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 1.6% to 1,211 homes ($619.6 million) compared with 1,192 homes ($645.8 million) in the same quarter last year. Contracts, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, for the three months ended July 31, 2025, increased 1.4% to 1,416 homes ($749.0 million) compared with 1,396 homes ($791.3 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. As of July 31, 2025, consolidated community count decreased 1.6% to 124 communities compared with 126 communities as of July 31, 2024. Community count, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, was unchanged at 146 as of both July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024. Consolidated contracts per community increased 3.2% year-over-year to 9.8 in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with 9.5 contracts per community for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Contracts per community, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, increased 1.0% to 9.7 in the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared with 9.6 contracts per community in the same quarter one year ago. The dollar value of consolidated contract backlog, as of July 31, 2025, decreased 27.6% to $838.8 million compared with $1.16 billion as of July 31, 2024. The dollar value of contract backlog, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, as of July 31, 2025, decreased 24.4% to $1.10 billion compared with $1.46 billion as of July 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease in backlog dollars is partly due to increased sales of quick move in homes (QMIs), which are typically in backlog for a very short period of time. The gross contract cancellation rate for consolidated contracts was 19% for the third quarter ended July 31, 2025, compared with 17% in the 2024 third quarter. The gross contract cancellation rate for contracts, including domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, was 19% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with 17% in the third quarter of the prior year. For the trailing twelve-month period our return on equity (ROE) was 18.7%. For the trailing twelve-month period our net income return on inventory was 9.5% and our adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes return on investment (Adjusted EBIT ROI) was 22.1%. For the most recently reported trailing twelve-month periods, we had the second highest ROE, and we believe the highest Adjusted EBIT ROI compared to nine of our publicly traded midsized homebuilder peers. (1)When we refer to 'Domestic Unconsolidated Joint Ventures', we are excluding results from our multi-community unconsolidated joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). LIQUIDITY AND INVENTORY AS OF JULY 31, 2025: During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, land and land development spending was $192.6 million compared with $216.1 million in the same quarter one year ago. For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, land and land development spending was $660.0 million compared with $677.0 million in the same period one year ago. Total liquidity as of July 31, 2025, was $277.9 million, which was above our target liquidity range of $170 million to $245 million. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, approximately 3,500 lots were put under option or acquired in 30 consolidated communities. As of July 31, 2025, our total controlled consolidated lots were 40,246, an increase of 1.8% compared with 39,516 lots at the end of the previous fiscal year's third quarter. Continuing our land-light strategic focus, 86% of our lots were optioned at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which is our highest percentage of option lots ever. Based on trailing twelve-month deliveries, the current position equaled 7.0 years' supply. Total QMIs as of July 31, 2025, were 1,016, a decline of 5.3% compared with 1,073 as of April 30, 2025, illustrating our efforts to match our starts with our sales pace. This equates to 8.2 QMIs per community as of July 31 2025, approaching our goal of 8 QMIs per community. FINANCIAL GUIDANCE(2): The Company is providing guidance for total revenues, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, adjusted income before income taxes and adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Financial guidance below assumes no adverse changes in current market conditions, including deterioration in our supply chain or material increases in mortgage rates, inflation or cancellation rates, and excludes further impact to SG&A expenses from phantom stock expense related solely to stock price movements from the closing price of $119.47 on July 31, 2025. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, total revenues are expected to be between $750 million and $850 million, adjusted homebuilding gross margin is expected to be between 15.0% and 16.5%, adjusted income before income taxes is expected to be between $45 million and $55 million and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $77 million and $87 million. (2)The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its non-GAAP projections and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items required for the reconciliation. These items include, but are not limited to, land-related charges, inventory impairments and land option write-offs and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results. COMMENTS FROM MANAGEMENT: 'While the market environment remains challenging, we're encouraged by our performance this quarter. We met or exceeded the guidance range for all the metrics provided for the third quarter,' stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. 'Uncertainty across global, political and economic fronts continued to weigh on homebuyer sentiment resulting in a slower sales pace than we had expected at the beginning of the fiscal year. Additionally, affordability challenges are weighing on buyer activity as home prices remain high, and mortgage rates have only seen modest declines from recent highs. We addressed these affordability headwinds with increased incentives that led to the first year-over-year increase in quarterly contracts per community this fiscal year. While our contracts for the quarter increased, QMIs decreased 5% sequentially, consistent with our goal of aligning our starts with our sales. Furthermore, consistent with our short-term strategy, we are selling through some of the lower margin homes and land to make room for newer land purchases with better margins.' 'Our primary focus remains on pursuing growth opportunities, while improving our capital structure. Given the current market conditions, our approach to new land acquisitions relies on strict adherence to underwriting discipline. We believe we are in a period where consumers are adjusting to current home prices and mortgage rates and remain confident that the combination of pent-up housing demand and the positive long-term demographic trends for housing will drive increased demand for new homes going forward. We are seeing current land opportunities on slightly better terms than last year. Our second highest ROE and what we believe to be the highest adjusted EBIT ROI among midsized homebuilder peers for the trailing twelve-month period, demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategy, and we remain focused on sustaining returns that outpace industry benchmarks,' concluded Mr. Hovnanian.

The FDA Just Approved a New Use for Wegovy, and Novo Nordisk Stock is Climbing. Here's What Investors Need to Know

Key Points Wegovy is now the second medicine approved in the U.S. for a disease that affects millions. Novo Nordisk has several other factors working in its favor, including strong results and a solid pipeline. The company looks attractively valued following its underperformance over the past 12 months. 10 stocks we like better than Novo Nordisk › The past 12 months haven't been great for Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO). Its shares peaked last year and have been in a downward spiral due to unimpressive financial results, clinical setbacks, and mounting competition in its core areas of expertise. However, Novo Nordisk is looking to bounce back. Recent regulatory progress could be a positive step in that direction. Here's what investors need to know. Another important approval On Friday, Novo Nordisk announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved Wegovy for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Wegovy has become a household name, famous for helping people manage their weight, but this new indication could be a significant development. Here's why. MASH is a disease characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, leading to inflammation. According to some estimates, 22 million adults in the U.S. have MASH, although fewer, about 9 million, have clinically meaningful liver disease. That's not an insignificant number, and one might think that, given this large addressable market, there are many approved therapies for MASH. But that's not the case. Developing effective treatments has proven to be surprisingly challenging. Last year, the FDA approved the first therapy specifically for MASH. Now, Wegovy has become the first GLP-1 medicine to earn that indication. Although there are other treatments in development, Wegovy could carve out a decent market for itself in MASH, especially since it posted phase 3 results comparable to those of its only competitor on the market (for now): Rezdiffra, marketed by Madrigal Pharmaceuticals. Novo Nordisk is a significantly larger company with more funds, a larger marketing budget, and a larger sales team than its smaller peer. What will be the demand for Wegovy in MASH be? We can gather some clues from Rezdiffra's launch, which is going extremely well. About a year after it hit the market, Rezdiffra generated $212.8 million in revenue in the second quarter -- that's impressive and points to a massive demand for the medicine. Yet, Madrigal has barely scratched the surface of the addressable market. As of June 30, it had treated just over 23,000 patients. Wegovy's launch in MASH should be even smoother since it isn't starting from scratch -- it's already been on the market for several years. In my view, this new indication could add over $1 billion in sales to Wegovy's total within the next few years, especially because it's also being considered for approval for MASH in Japan and the European Union. It's also worth pointing out another development that helped jolt Novo Nordisk's stock price. The company is partnering with GoodRx to offer Ozempic at a reduced cost for patients who pay out of pocket. This move should help it deal with some companies that sell compounded versions of Ozempic for less. Is Novo Nordisk's stock a buy? Wegovy could earn yet another important label expansion by next year, although in a different version. Earlier this year, Novo Nordisk requested approval for an oral formulation of the medicine for weight loss. That could also move the needle for the pharmaceutical giant. An oral version would be faster and cheaper to produce, easier to transport, and thus more cost-effective to manufacture at scale. The previous shortages Wegovy dealt with would be far less likely to occur with an oral formulation. Notably, it would mark yet another breakthrough for Novo Nordisk. There is currently no oral GLP-1 medication approved for weight loss -- the drugmaker's own Rybelsus, an oral GLP-1 product, is indicated only for diabetes. Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk's financial results remain strong. In the first half of the year, net sales grew by 16% year over year to 154.9 billion Danish kroner ($24.2 billion), while net profit of 55.5 billion DKK ($8.7 billion) rose 22% compared to the year-ago period. Furthermore, Novo Nordisk has an attractive pipeline. CagriSema, a next-generation GLP-1 therapy whose phase 3 results were strong (if not as strong as the market had hoped), appears poised to become a blockbuster. Some analysts predict that it will generate $15.2 billion in revenue by 2030. Elsewhere, Novo Nordisk's amycretin, another investigational weight loss therapy, recently started phase 3 studies in both oral and subcutaneous formulations. Despite recent clinical setbacks, Novo Nordisk's pipeline should earn some significant wins in the next few years, particularly since the company has been strengthening it through licensing deals. Lastly, Novo Nordisk stock looks reasonably valued. The company is trading at 13.5 times forward earnings, compared to an average price-to-earnings ratio of 16.5 for the healthcare industry. At current levels, the stock could deliver superior returns to investors who initiate positions today. Should you invest $1,000 in Novo Nordisk right now?
