Wow Meta…
Good Morning Wake-Up Watchlisters! While you’re sipping coffee you’ll see stock futures rose on Friday, driven by blowout earnings from big tech (more on that below). Keeping with the big theme, big oil also saw a boost, with giants Chevron and Exxon shares rising after both beat profit expectations. Next, investors will parse monthly jobs data which could offer clues into if/when the Federal Reserve will cut rates.
Here’s a look at the top-moving stocks this morning.
Clorox (NYSE: CLX)
Clorox is up 8% in premarket trading, propelled by its Q2 FY2024 performance that exceeded expectations. The company reported a significant year-on-year revenue increase of 16%, reaching $1.99 billion, and a non-GAAP profit of $2.16 per share, nearly doubling from the previous year. This robust financial performance reflects the effective execution of Clorox’s recovery plan and has positively influenced the market’s response to its stock.

Amazon is up 6% in premarket, primarily attributed to its impressive holiday-quarter sales and the growing success of its AI-powered cloud business.

This positive trend, bolstered by the company’s substantial investments in AI and cloud infrastructure, has led to upward revisions in price targets by several brokerages.
