Stocks making the biggest moves midday: Abercrombie & Fitch, Disney, Best Buy, Zoom and more

Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading.

Abercrombie & Fitch – Shares of the retail stock jumped 21.4% after the apparel retailer beat Wall Street’s revenue forecasts for the third quarter and posted unexpected quarterly profit. The company said demand rose for clothing as consumers returned to work and had increasing social obligations.

Disney – The entertainment titan dropped 1.4% as investors continued responding to the dramatic ouster of its CEO. Deutsche Bank reiterated the stock as buy and said it doesn’t see any meaningful changes coming to its direct-to-consumer strategy.

Zoom Video — Shares of the video-conferencing company fell 3.9% after the firm issued weaker-than-expected revenue guidance for its full fiscal year. Zoom’s quarterly earnings topped estimates, while revenue met expectations.

Best Buy – Best Buy’s stock surged 12.8% after the consumer electronics retailer beat Wall Street’s estimates and maintained its outlook for the holiday period. Demand remains below its pandemic heights, but Best Buy indicated its faring well even as inflation weighs on consumers’ pockets.

Dollar Tree – The discount retailer saw shares slide 7.8% after the company projected full-year earnings in the lower half of its prior guidance range. The stock slipped even after the company beat top and bottom line estimates for its latest quarter and better-than-expected comparable store sales.

Dick’s Sporting Goods – Shares of the sporting goods retailer jumped 10.1% after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue and an increase in comparable store sales. Dick’s raised its full-year financial forecast as well.

Medtronic – The medical device maker’s stock dropped 5.3% after it missed on revenue expectations while slightly beating on earnings per share. The company said it was hurt by the surging U.S. dollar and a smaller rebound than expected in procedures that involve its equipment.

Coinbase – Shares of the cryptocurrency exchange rose 5.2% with the broader markets. Bitcoin turned positive after briefly touching a two-year low. Coinbase’s stock price tends to trade in tandem with the bitcoin price, partly because of its heavy reliance on trading revenue.

BP – Shares of the oil giant gained 5.3% following an upgrade to buy from neutral from Citi, which said it has good valuation and free-cash flow yield while also likely being able to differentiate itself from European competitors.

Airbnb – The vacation rental platform shed 0.5% following a downgrade to neutral from outperform by Baird due to concerns over tightening consumer spending.
