A batch of corporate updates triggered notable after-hours moves across sectors. Applied Materials surged after delivering stronger-than-expected quarterly results and upbeat guidance. A mix of beats and misses followed across chip equipment, streaming, electric vehicles, online marketplaces, and gaming, with several companies upping forward views while others warned or undercut analyst expectations.

Key Points

  • Applied Materials materially beat Q1 EPS and revenue estimates and provided guidance that pushed its shares up, highlighting strength in semiconductor equipment.
  • Several consumer-facing and tech platforms showed mixed results: Roku, Arista Networks, Dutch Bros, Instacart and Airbnb posted beats or raised guidance, while Pinterest, Toast, DraftKings, Coinbase and Twilio reported misses or weaker guidance.
  • Sectors impacted include semiconductor equipment, streaming/media, electric vehicles, foodservice and delivery, cloud and communications software, online marketplaces, and online gaming.

Stocks moved decisively in after-hours trading as a series of quarterly reports and forward-looking outlooks produced divergent reactions from investors.

Applied Materials saw the largest single swing, climbing 9% after posting quarterly results that exceeded analyst expectations and offering guidance that the market interpreted as constructive. The company reported Q1 earnings per share of $2.38, beating the analyst consensus by $0.17, which was $2.21. Revenue in the quarter totaled $7.01 billion versus a consensus figure of $6.87 billion.

Not all reports were positive. Coinbase edged down 0.5% as its latest quarter missed estimates on both revenue and earnings. The company recorded Q4 total revenue of $1.8 billion, representing a 5% decline from the prior quarter.

Pinterest shares fell sharply, declining 16% after offering guidance below market expectations. The company projects Q1 2026 revenue in a range of $951 million to $971 million, compared with the consensus estimate of $981.3 million.

Streaming platform Roku rallied 10% after reporting results above consensus on both the top and bottom lines and setting a robust outlook. Roku guided to fiscal 2026 revenue of $5.5 billion, ahead of the $5.34 billion consensus.

Rivian Automotive jumped 13% following the release of strong guidance for 2026 vehicle deliveries.

Dutch Bros gained 13% after beating profit estimates for the quarter. The company reported Q4 earnings per share of $0.17, which topped the analyst estimate of $0.09 by $0.08. Quarterly revenue was $443.6 million, above the consensus estimate of $423.79 million.

Instacart rose 13% after reporting quarterly revenue of $992 million, beating the consensus estimate of $974 million.

Toast shares dropped 13% as its guidance for full-year operating profit fell short of expectations.

Arista Networks climbed 5% after reporting quarterly revenue of $2.49 billion, outpacing the consensus estimate of $2.38 billion for the period.

Twilio declined 6.5% despite delivering results that beat published estimates. The company reported Q4 earnings per share of $1.33, beating the analyst estimate of $1.23 by $0.10. Quarterly revenue was $1.37 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.32 billion.

Airbnb rose 5% after first-quarter revenue guidance topped estimates. The company projected Q1 2026 revenue of $2.59 billion to $2.63 billion, compared with the consensus figure of $2.528 billion.

DraftKings fell 13% after its forward view missed the street. The company sees fiscal 2026 revenue in a range of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion versus the consensus of $7.32 billion.


Additional note on stock evaluation tools provided in the same release: an AI-driven model called ProPicks AI is described as evaluating Applied Materials among many companies monthly using a broad range of financial metrics. The description states the AI identifies stocks based on fundamentals, momentum, and valuation and cites past winners including Super Micro Computer at +185% and AppLovin at +157%.

Risks

  • Guidance shortfalls and revenue guidance below consensus - this risk is evident for social media and advertising platforms such as Pinterest and impacts the digital advertising sector.
  • Earnings or revenue misses despite reported beats - Twilio reported results above estimates yet its shares fell, indicating that investor reaction can be negative even when metrics exceed published forecasts; this affects communications software and cloud services.
  • Forward revenue guidance trailing consensus - DraftKings projected fiscal 2026 revenue below the street, highlighting risk for online gaming and sports-betting exposure.
