Nyse Order Imbalance 167210.0 Shares On Buy Side

What Happened?

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell as much as 0.7%, reflecting lingering uncertainty, and capping off a volatile week which saw stocks enjoy some relief as President Donald Trump reduced tensions with European allies by backing off his threat of imposing new tariffs. 

Threats of tariffs initially created uncertainty for businesses, as they can lead to higher costs for multinational corporations and disrupt global supply chains. By withdrawing the threat, the administration removed a significant headwind for the market, prompting a relief rally. This development was a key factor in helping major indexes recover from earlier losses, even as some analysts noted that underlying geopolitical risks and market volatility remain concerns for investors.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Zooming In On Mobileye (MBLY)

Mobileye’s shares are very volatile and have had 28 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock dropped 2.7% on the news that the company provided a full-year 2026 revenue forecast that fell short of analyst expectations. 

The cautious outlook overshadowed the company's fourth-quarter results. Mobileye's full-year revenue guidance of $1.94 billion at the midpoint came in 3% below analysts’ estimates. While its adjusted earnings of $0.06 per share met expectations, its quarterly revenue of $446 million represented a 9% decline year on year. Profitability was also a major concern, as the company’s operating margin worsened to negative 31.4% from negative 17.6% in the same quarter last year, and its adjusted EBITDA significantly missed Wall Street's estimates.

Mobileye is down 12.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $9.83 per share, it is trading 48.5% below its 52-week high of $19.08 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Mobileye’s shares at the IPO in October 2022 would now be looking at an investment worth $339.45.

What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the US president announced a framework for a future deal with Greenland. 

Wall Street saw a broad-based rally, with the S&P 500 gaining 1.2% as investor concerns over global trade tensions eased. The positive sentiment followed an announcement that reversed course on plans to impose tariffs linked to Greenland, which had caused steep market losses earlier in the week. This recovery reflected renewed optimism in the market, as the threat of a widening trade conflict appeared to subside, encouraging investors to move back into equities.

Zooming In On Luxfer (LXFR)

Luxfer’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 11 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 11 months ago when the stock dropped 8.4% on the news that the company reported an underwhelming Q4 2024 result, as its full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance fell short of expectations. However, quarterly results were strong, with revenue, EPS, and EBITDA significantly surpassing analysts' estimates. Zooming out, we think this was a mixed quarter.

Luxfer is up 16.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $15.81 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Luxfer’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $937.72.

As the craze of earnings season draws to a close, here’s a look back at some of the most exciting (and some less so) results from Q3. Today, we are looking at industrial distributors stocks, starting with GATX .

Supply chain and inventory management are themes that grew in focus after COVID wreaked havoc on the global movement of raw materials and components. Distributors that boast a reliable selection of products–everything from hardhats and fasteners for jet engines to ceiling systems–and quickly deliver goods to customers can benefit from this theme. While e-commerce hasn’t disrupted industrial distribution as much as consumer retail, it is still a real threat, forcing investment in omnichannel capabilities to better interact with customers. Additionally, distributors are at the whim of economic cycles that impact the capital spending and construction projects that can juice demand.

The 24 industrial distributors stocks we track reported a mixed Q3. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 1.1% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was in line.

While some industrial distributors stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they have collectively declined. On average, share prices are down 3.1% since the latest earnings results.

GATX

Originally founded to ship beer, GATX provides leasing and management services for railcars and other transportation assets globally.

GATX reported revenues of $439.3 million, up 8.4% year on year. This print exceeded analysts’ expectations by 0.8%. Despite the top-line beat, it was still a softer quarter for the company with a significant miss of analysts’ EBITDA and EPS estimates.

The market was likely pricing in the results, and the stock is flat since reporting. It currently trades at $172.81.

Best Q3: Richardson Electronics

Founded in 1947, Richardson Electronics is a distributor of power grid and microwave tubes as well as consumables related to those products.

Richardson Electronics reported revenues of $54.61 million, up 1.6% year on year, outperforming analysts’ expectations by 6%. The business had an incredible quarter with a beat of analysts’ EPS and EBITDA estimates.

Richardson Electronics delivered the biggest analyst estimates beat among its peers. The market seems content with the results as the stock is up 1.6% since reporting. It currently trades at $10.79.

Weakest Q3: Alta

Founded in 1984, Alta Equipment Group is a provider of industrial and construction equipment and services across the Midwest and Northeast United States.

Alta reported revenues of $422.6 million, down 5.8% year on year, falling short of analysts’ expectations by 8.4%. It was a disappointing quarter as it posted a significant miss of analysts’ revenue and adjusted operating income estimates.

Alta delivered the weakest performance against analyst estimates and slowest revenue growth in the group. As expected, the stock is down 17.2% since the results and currently trades at $4.86.
