Marvell, Coinbase and American Eagle rise premarket; Crowdstrike, Okta fall

Investing.com

Investing.com -- U.S. stock futures rose Wednesday ahead of the release of economic data that could add to expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut next week.

Here are some of the biggest premarket U.S. stock movers today:

Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) stock soared 10% after the chipmaker confirmed a multi-billion deal to buy semiconductor startup Celestial AI, as it looks to expand its compute capacity during an ongoing surge in demand driven by the artificial intelligence boom.
Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) stock rose 2.1% after bitcoin, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, rebounded from its deep slide at the start of the week, climbing to a two-week high.
Pure Storage (NYSE:PSTG) stock slumped 14% after the flash storage company failed to beat expectations in its latest quarterly results, even as it raised its full-year guidance.
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) stock fell 1.2% despite the cybersecurity firm reporting quarterly results that topped expectations and an upbeat full-year forecast, buoyed by record customer additions, strong subscription growth and rising demand for its AI-linked cybersecurity tools.
Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA) stock dropped 3.9% even after the identity management company reported quarterly results that exceeded expectations, with an upbeat full-year guidance, helped by steady demand from large customers and growing adoption of products tied to identity governance and AI security.
American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO) stock surged 13% after the clothes retailer raised its comparable sales guidance for the full year and reported net revenue for the third quarter that topped expectations.
Gitlab (NASDAQ:GTLB) stock fell 9.2% despite the software company delivering better-than-expected third-quarter results and lifting full-year revenue guidance.
Acadia Healthcare (NASDAQ:ACHC) stock slumped 28% after the healthcare company revised its fiscal year 2025 guidance downward, raising concerns about the company’s future earnings potential.
Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock gained 1.8% after Wells Fargo started coverage of the tech giant with an ‘overweight’ recommendation, describing the firm as an “emerging leader in the AI super-cycle.”

5 Revealing Analyst Questions From Urban Outfitters’s Q3 Earnings Call

Stock Story

Urban Outfitters

-0.05%

Urban Outfitters delivered a robust third quarter, with management citing broad-based sales growth across all its brands and geographies as key drivers. Strong store and digital traffic, particularly at the Urban Outfitters and Free People brands, fueled higher transaction volumes and improved profitability. Co-President Frank Conforti attributed the performance to lower markdowns, effective marketing investments, and notable momentum in the Nuuly rental business, which saw subscriber growth of over 40%. CEO Dick Hayne emphasized that "all brands produced positive comps across all geographies this quarter," underscoring the strength of the company’s diversified business model.

While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.

Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Urban Outfitters’s Q3 Earnings Call

Lorraine Hutchinson (Bank of America) asked about the impact of recent price increases and whether Urban Outfitters would continue to protect opening price points. CEO Dick Hayne and Anthropologie CEO Tricia Smith confirmed minimal customer resistance and emphasized a commitment to maintaining accessible entry prices.
Adrienne Yih (Barclays) explored the trajectory of Anthropologie’s own brands and Urban Outfitters' path to sustainable profitability. Smith highlighted ongoing own-brand expansion, while COO Frank Conforti said global profitability is in reach but stopped short of providing specific annual guidance.
Matthew Boss (JPMorgan) inquired about the drivers behind traffic acceleration and margin outlook. CEO Dick Hayne cited increased store and digital traffic, while Conforti discussed margin improvement via gross profit gains and occupancy leverage, with caution around tariff uncertainties.
Paul Lejuez (Citi) questioned out-the-door merchandise margins and any shifts in Nuuly’s subscriber demographics. Conforti noted margin improvement from reduced markdowns, and Nuuly President Dave Hayne observed a slight trend toward younger, southern U.S. subscribers, but no significant demographic shift.
Mark Altschwager (Baird) asked about sources of Q3 gross margin upside and promotional expectations for Q4. Conforti pointed to sales-driven occupancy leverage and confirmed that while holiday promotions may rise, the company aims to hold its annual gross margin improvement target.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Looking ahead, the StockStory team is watching (1) the execution and sales productivity of new store openings, particularly for FP Movement and Anthropologie, (2) the pace of Nuuly subscriber growth and its contribution to overall revenue, and (3) the company’s ability to manage gross margin in a more promotional and tariff-impacted environment. Progress in digital engagement and successful mitigation of cost headwinds will also be key indicators.

Urban Outfitters currently trades at $78.27, up from $68.31 just before the earnings. At this price, is it a buy or sell? Find out in our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).
