Amazon’s stock took a hit in after-hours trading after the e-commerce giant issued weaker-than-expected guidance for the current quarter. The company forecasts sales in the first quarter to be between $151 billion and $155.5 billion, falling short of analysts’ expectations of $158.5 billion. Despite this, Amazon’s fourth-quarter earnings and revenue exceeded consensus expectations, showing continued strength in the online retail sector.

Meanwhile, Take-Two Interactive Software saw its stock jump nearly 7% despite posting slightly lower-than-expected fiscal third-quarter revenue of $1.37 billion. The video game company expects its current-quarter revenue to be between $1.48 billion and $1.58 billion, which is slightly below the estimated $1.54 billion. This shows resilience in the gaming industry despite some challenges.

Affirm Holdings, a payment company, saw its shares surge more than 9% following a top-line beat for the fiscal second quarter. With revenues of $866 million, surpassing analysts’ expectations of $807 million, Affirm continues to show strong growth in the digital payment space. Gross merchandise volume also grew 35% year-over-year in the prior quarter, demonstrating strong customer adoption.

Social media platform Pinterest also had a strong showing, with shares popping 18% after reporting fourth-quarter revenue of $1.15 billion, slightly ahead of analysts’ estimates of $1.14 billion. The company expects revenue of $837 million to $852 million in the first quarter, showing confidence in continued growth and user engagement.

Expedia, a leading travel booking platform, saw its stock gain 11% after posting fourth-quarter results that surpassed Wall Street expectations. With adjusted earnings of $2.39 per share on revenue of $3.18 billion, Expedia showed resilience in the face of ongoing challenges in the travel industry. The company also reinstated its quarterly dividend at 40 cents per share, providing value to shareholders.

On the flip side, Bill Holdings saw its shares plunge about 32% after issuing disappointing fiscal third-quarter revenue guidance. Despite beating analysts’ expectations in the second quarter, the billing software company fell short in its revenue forecast for the upcoming quarter. This highlights the challenges in forecasting revenue in a dynamic market environment.

In the cybersecurity sector, Fortinet’s stock rallied 11% after posting better-than-expected results for the fourth quarter and providing strong guidance for the full year. With revenues expected to fall between $6.65 billion and $6.85 billion, surpassing analysts’ estimates, Fortinet continues to show strength in the cybersecurity market.

However, not all companies had a positive showing. E.l.f. Beauty tumbled 23% after slashing its guidance for the full fiscal year. With sales now expected to range from $1.3 billion to $1.31 billion, below consensus estimates, the cosmetics company faces challenges in a competitive market. Adjusted earnings for the third quarter also narrowly missed expectations, showing the need for strategic adjustments in the business.

On a positive note, Monolithic Power Systems saw its stock soar 16% following strong fourth-quarter results. With adjusted earnings of $4.09 per share on revenue of $621.7 million, the semiconductor company exceeded analysts’ expectations. The company also issued better-than-expected revenue guidance for the current quarter and announced a $500 million stock repurchase program, showing confidence in its growth trajectory.

Overall, the market continues to show a mix of performance among different companies, highlighting the dynamic nature of the business landscape. Investors should carefully analyze each company’s performance and outlook to make informed decisions in a rapidly changing market environment.
