Market Turmoil as Earnings Disappoint: Netflix, Texas Instruments, and Intuitive Surgical in Focus
U.S. equities faced downward pressure Wednesday as earnings season delivered mixed results. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all retreated amid a wave of corporate disappointments.
Netflix led the decliners after missing profit estimates, with a Brazilian tax dispute weighing on performance. Texas Instruments followed suit, its subdued outlook reflecting slower-than-expected semiconductor recovery.
Intuitive Surgical emerged as a bright spot, its surgical robots driving both earnings beats and raised guidance. DraftKings gained ground through strategic acquisition, while Avery Dennison rallied on strong results and a Walmart partnership.
