Stocks making the biggest moves premarket: Ulta Beauty, Airbnb, Gap, American Eagle
Check out the companies making headlines before the bell. UiPath — Shares surged 12% after the automation software company posted first-quarter operating income and revenue figures that exceeded FactSet estimates. UiPath also raised its full-year revenue guidance and sees its current-quarter revenue coming in between $345 million to $350 million, while analysts polled by FactSet were expecting $331.3 million. Ulta Beauty — The beauty retailer's shares rallied 9% after the firm raised its annual profit forecast and crushed expectations with its quarterly results. Ulta said lower inventory losses as well as new launches — especially celebrity-owned brands — helped drive demand at its stores. American Eagle — Shares slumped 7% after the clothing retailer reported a fiscal first-quarter adjusted loss of 29 cents per share, which was wider than an LSEG estimate for a loss of 22 cents per share. American Eagle's $1.09 billion revenue came in as expected. Gap — The apparel retailer plunged 13% after it forecast sales to be flat for its current quarter, while analysts had expected growth of 0.2%. This lackluster guidance overshadowed Gap's first-quarter earnings and revenue beat. Elastic NV — Shares stumbled 10% after the American-Dutch software company guided for full-year revenue in the range of $1.655 billion to $1.67 billion. This missed the FactSet consensus outlook of $1.68 billion. Marvell Technology — The chip stock slipped 4% after first-quarter results came in roughly in line with expectations. Marvell Technology's shares were up 9% in May ahead of the report. Adjusted earnings per share were 62 cents, just a tick ahead of the 61-cent estimate from analysts, according to LSEG. NetApp — The data infrastructure stock shed 5% after forecasting its fiscal first-quarter adjusted earnings to come in the range of $1.48 to $1.58, while analysts polled by FactSet forecast $1.65 per share. However, NetApp posted an earnings and revenue beat for its last quarter. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals , Sanofi — Biopharma stocks Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi respectively tumbled 10% and 4% after reporting mixed results in late-stage trials for a respiratory drug called itepekimab they are developing together. Airbnb — Shares slipped 3% after Truist Securities downgraded the short-term vacation home rental company to a sell rating from hold. Analyst C. Patrick Scholes said that investors haven't fully accounted for soft summer leisure trends, both in the U.S. and Europe. PagerDuty — The cloud computing stock fell 5% after PagerDuty forecast that its second-quarter guidance would come in between 19 cents and 20 cents per share, excluding items. This was lower than the profit guidance of 23 cents per share analysts polled by FactSet had penciled in. Zscaler — Shares rose 6% after the cloud security company topped analysts' expectations for its fiscal third-quarter, and raised its full-year earnings and revenue guidance. Zscaler earned 84 cents on an adjusted basis in the third quarter, better than the FactSet consensus estimate for 76 cents per share. Revenue of $678 million exceeded the $666.5 million estimate. — CNBC's Yun Li, Sarah Min and Jesse Pound contributed reporting.

Blue Origin completes 12th human flight to space
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Space technology company Blue Origin successfully completed its 12th human spaceflight and the 32nd flight for the New Shepard program on Saturday morning, May 31. The launch took place from the company's facility outside of Van Horn and took a human crew to the Karman line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. The crew included: K-12 STEM teacher Aymette Medina Jorge; radiologist turned explorer Dr. Gretchen Green; former Panamanian ambassador to the United States Jaime Alemán; businessman Jesse Williams; aerospace executive Mark Rocket; and entrepreneur Paul Jeris. Including Saturday's crew, New Shepard has now flown 64 people into space — including four who have flown twice — among them scientific researchers, educators, physicians, explorers, and entrepreneurs. 'We thank our customers for trusting us to give them the opportunity to appreciate Earth's fragility from above, an experience that truly transforms those who embark on it,' said Phil Joyce, senior vice president of New Shepard. 'We look forward to seeing what our remarkable crew will do with this experience. I am proud of our team's dedication in making these moments possible.' Here is what Blue Origin said about the New Shepard program: 'Named after astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American in space, New Shepard is Blue Origin's fully reusable, autonomous suborbital rocket system built to fly humans and scientific payloads to space. The rocket is powered by one BE-3PM engine, which is fueled by a highly efficient and clean combination of liquid hydrogen and oxygen. During flight, the only byproduct of New Shepard's engine combustion is water vapor, with no carbon emissions.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Business leaders are reshaping Washington and delivering for taxpayers
President Trump's historic comeback victory included a mandate from the American people to reform the federal government. The inefficiencies of our broken bureaucracy are all too apparent to everyday Americans, and it was a big reason why they hired a new administration that specifically ran on fixing the system. Americans know the problems our government faces today are urgent and require immediate action. They have watched as the federal bureaucracy has exploded in size and as their tax dollars are wasted on frivolous spending. All of us realize that maintaining our current course is no longer sustainable. We are trillions of dollars in debt, and steadily approaching a point of no return. As Americans cut costs and work tirelessly to balance their own budgets after four years of economic uncertainty, they are now rightly demanding that the federal government do the same. But like the old cliche about the definition of insanity, there is no reason to think that the same processes and personnel who have spent decades in government bureaucracies will be able to reform themselves without some outside help. The status quo won't shake up the status quo. We need an infusion of new ideas, personnel and leadership in our capital city. Specifically, we need to lean on one of America's great strengths and resources: our incredibly successful, world-leading private sector. American businesses are second to none. We need to tap into the insights, methods and expertise of our business leaders and technical experts to turn the government around. Thankfully, President Trump and his administration are doing just that. A number of the president's cabinet secretaries are Washington outsiders who bring heavyweight private sector resumes to their new roles. The same goes for key subcabinet posts. For example, President Trump's nominee to run the federal Office of Personnel Management is a venture capitalist and tech executive with a quarter century of high-stakes business leadership under his belt. The most notable place where the president has brought in fresh energy and ideas from the private sector is the Department of Government Efficiency. Everybody knows about its leader, the hugely successful and outspoken entrepreneur Elon Musk. But a wealth of other top tech talent is working away behind the scenes, helping to find new efficiencies, examples of waste to cut and opportunities to update and upgrade how our government works. The team includes the sharp, young engineers who have attracted political and press attention, but it also includes veteran executives and marquee leaders who have answered the call to serve. Tom Krause, CEO of Cloud Software Group, is helping reform the Treasury Department's ancient payment processes. Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb, is helping to digitize the tangled processes around federal retirements. All of us are lucky that such well-respected minds in business and management are helping refocus our government around stewarding funds wisely and getting results. This is a turnaround project like no other, and it needs all hands on deck. I had the privilege of serving on the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee during my tenure representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I saw firsthand the misuse of federal funds, the inefficiency of the bureaucracy and the blatant waste of taxpayer dollars. But making meaningful cuts in a smart, targeted way can be tricky business. We want to crack down on waste, fraud and overreach but preserve genuinely important programs that support hardworking families, encourage innovation in key fields like energy, national security and AI, and give taxpayers a strong return for their money. Separating the wheat from the chaff takes skilled analysis and strong, outcome-driven leadership. These are not virtues for which Washington is famous. Luckily, the business world has them in spades. Despite consternation from some in the media about bringing private-sector expertise into government, this is absolutely nothing new. High-profile businesspeople have served and advised presidential administrations of both parties, bringing their fresh perspectives to bear on problems that have stumped the permanent class inside Washington. President Obama brought General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt to lead an economic advisory board, along with entrusting the executive chairman of Alphabet, Eric Schmidt, to lead a major Pentagon innovation board. President Biden staffed his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology with a whole list of private sector leaders, including from tech giants Google, Microsoft and Nvidia. President Trump and DOGE are working to fix the broken systems our government relies on. They are absolutely right to call upon our country's deep well of human capital in the form of our top business leaders to do it. The American people have spoken, and they want significant and meaningful reform. A majority of Americans support DOGE's mission to increase accountability and enact long-lasting federal reforms. Already, thanks to DOGE's efforts, billions of dollars worth of savings have been found. But if we're actually going to redirect the slow-moving shipwreck of federal waste and budget deficits, these early efforts must only be the beginning. We need to keep drawing on outside perspectives and the business world's results-driven mindset to cut through the jungle of red tape and deliver meaningful results for Americans everywhere.
