Take a look at the companies making waves after hours. Netflix made quite the splash, with its stock rocketing over 13%. The streaming giant achieved an impressive milestone by exceeding 300 million paid memberships. It not only surpassed expectations in both revenue and profit for the fourth quarter, but also raised its revenue forecasts for the entire year of 2025.
Meanwhile, Oracle saw a 3% uptick in its shares. This comes after former President Donald Trump announced a significant new partnership. Named “Stargate,” this venture brings OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank together to invest at least $500 billion in AI infrastructure across the United States.
United Airlines also enjoyed a solid boost, with its stock climbing more than 3% following better-than-anticipated fourth-quarter results. The airline reported adjusted earnings of $3.26 per share on $14.70 billion in revenue. These figures outpaced analysts’ predictions, who had expected $3.00 earnings per share on $14.47 billion in revenue. Additionally, United Airlines delivered an upbeat forecast for first-quarter earnings.
Interactive Brokers Group joined in the positive trend, with its shares jumping about 3% after releasing results that exceeded expectations for the fourth quarter. The brokerage revealed adjusted earnings of $2.03 per share on $1.42 billion in revenue, while analysts had anticipated $1.86 per share on $1.37 billion.
Seagate Technology also experienced a modest 1% gain, having topped second-quarter forecasts with adjusted earnings of $2.03 per share on $2.33 billion in revenue. Analysts had predicted earnings of $1.88 per share with revenues of $2.32 billion.
On a less positive note, Capital One Financial saw a slight decrease, with shares slipping by 0.5%. The company missed the mark on fourth-quarter revenue expectations, reporting $10.19 billion compared to the predicted $10.21 billion. However, it did outdo expectations on adjusted earnings, delivering $3.09 per share versus the expected $2.82.
