Shares of energy drink company Monster Beverage (NASDAQ:MNST)
fell 5.2% in the pre-market session after the company reported disappointing first quarter 2025 results: while gross margin beat expectations, revenue missed significantly. Revenue dropped over 2%, weighed down by fewer orders from distributors, currency hits overseas, and a sharp fall in alcohol-related sales.
Management did point to stronger sales in April and solid retail numbers for energy drinks overall, which could mean things are turning around.
Overall, this quarter could have been better.
Shares of software development tools maker JFrog (NASDAQ:FROG)
jumped 10.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported a "beat and raise quarter." First quarter 2025 results included convincing beats on revenue and operating income. Sales rose 22%, led by cloud revenue, which grew 42%. Big clients continued to spend more, with $1 million+ customers up 35% from last year. In addition, full-year sales, adjusted operating income, and EPS guidance topped analysts' expectations and were slightly lifted from the previous outlook.
Overall, this was an impressive quarter.
Shares of social commerce platform Pinterest (NYSE: PINS)
jumped 5.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results which beat analysts' revenue and EBITDA expectations. Sales rose 16% as more people used Pinterest to shop and more brands bought ads to reach them.
Shares of e-commerce florist and gift retailer 1-800-FLOWERS (NASDAQ:FLWS) fell 16.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported poor first quarter 2025 results which fell short of Wall Street's estimates across revenue, EPS, and EBITDA. Revenue dropped over 12% compared to the previous year, weighed down by a steep decline in the Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets segment, where sales fell more than 18%. This slump, along with persistent order system issues and a promotional sales push, dragged down performance across categories. Management also withdrew near-term guidance, citing an unpredictable macro environment. Overall, this was a weaker quarter.
Shares of local business platform Yelp (NYSE:YELP)
jumped 10% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results that blew past analysts' EBITDA and sales estimates. What's more impressive is that Yelp kept costs in check, letting more of those dollars fall to the bottom line as profits rose faster than sales. Overall, this print had some key positives.
