Shares of analog chipmaker Microchip Technology (NASDAQ:MCHP) jumped 11.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results with revenue guidance for next quarter topping analysts' expectations. In addition, EPS outperformed Wall Street's estimates. 

Shares of online travel agency Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) fell 7.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported disappointing first quarter 2025 results: while EPS and EBITDA significantly beat analysts' expectations, room nights booked slightly missed, causing revenue to also fall short of estimates. Revenue rose just 3% from a year ago, lagging growth in gross bookings. Overall, this quarter could have been better.

Shares of advertising software maker The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD) jumped 17.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results which significantly beat analysts' revenue and EBITDA estimates. Sales rose by 25% as more buyers adopted its open-internet tools like Kokai and identity tech such as UID2, now being used by major publishers across the globe. Looking ahead, Q2 guidance for revenue was roughly in line while EBITDA guidance beat. Zooming out, this was a strong quarter, especially considering the weak print last quarter that had investors worried.

Shares of sensor manufacturer Sensata Technology (NYSE:ST) jumped 15.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported impressive first quarter 2025 results which blew past analysts' EPS and adjusted operating income estimates. 

Shares of skincare company BeautyHealth (NASDAQ:SKIN) jumped 42.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results which included significant beats on sales, gross margin and EBITDA. BeautyHealth planned to manage some of its tariff risk by moving its production to the U.S. and changing how it sells in China, which could help over time. Overall, we think this was still a decent quarter with some key metrics above expectations.
