Tech and Retail Stocks Tumble Amid Mixed Earnings Reports

Tech and Retail Stocks Tumble Amid Mixed Earnings Reports

Several major players in the tech and retail sectors experienced significant stock movements following the release of their latest earnings reports. Grindr, a prominent gay dating app maker, saw its shares plummet by approximately 12%. Meanwhile, MongoDB and Marvell Technology also faced substantial declines, with their stocks dropping nearly 18% and 13%, respectively.

In the cloud security sphere, Zscaler reported robust financial results that led to a 4% increase in its share price. The company announced adjusted earnings of 78 cents per share on revenue of $648 million, surpassing analysts' expectations of 69 cents per share on revenue of $636 million, as surveyed by LSEG. Despite this strong quarterly performance, Zscaler reported a net loss of $131.0 million for the full year, a significant increase from the previous year's net loss of $55.8 million.

Victoria's Secret, the well-known lingerie retailer, faced a 5% decline in its stock value after announcing its first-quarter revenue forecast of $1.30 billion to $1.33 billion. This guidance fell short of analysts' expectations, who had anticipated revenue of $1.39 billion for the same period, according to LESG. Despite this shortfall in projections, Victoria's Secret outperformed in its fourth quarter, exceeding analysts' expectations with its earnings report.

MongoDB's stock took a hit as Wall Street expressed disappointment with its full fiscal year guidance ending January 2026. The database software maker forecasted adjusted earnings of $2.44 to $2.62 per share, which failed to meet investor expectations. This announcement led to an almost 18% drop in MongoDB's share price, reflecting the market's tepid response.

Marvell Technology reported adjusted earnings of 60 cents per share on revenue of $1.82 billion for its fiscal fourth quarter. These figures were slightly above the forecasts made by analysts polled by LSEG, who predicted earnings of 59 cents per share on revenue of $1.80 billion. Despite meeting and slightly exceeding expectations, Marvell's shares fell by about 13%, underscoring the cautious sentiment among investors.
