Shares of auto parts and accessories retailer Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:AAP) fell 6.1% in the morning session after competitor AutoZone reported first-quarter results that signaled potential weakness across the auto parts retail sector. While AutoZone's net sales grew, its gross margin compressed to 51.0%, and its diluted earnings per share (EPS) declined to $31.04. The drop in profitability for a major industry player raised concerns among investors about sector-wide challenges. This kind of pressure on margins and earnings at a key competitor often suggests that other companies in the same market, like Advance Auto Parts, could face similar headwinds.

Shares of casual salad chain Sweetgreen (NYSE:SG) jumped 3.9% in the morning session after RBC Capital raised its price target on the stock, and the company launched a new value-focused promotional meal. The investment bank increased its price target to $8 from $7 while keeping an Outperform rating on the shares. This analyst action coincided with the company's introduction of the 'Tis the Seasoned Harvest Bowl with Blackened Chicken. The meal was offered nationwide for a limited time at a price of $10 for members of its loyalty program. This was seen as one of the chain's strongest value plays yet to attract customers.

Shares of voice AI technology company SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) fell 0.9% in the morning session after the stock extended its year-to-date losses amid signs of growing investor skepticism. The move contributed to a difficult year for the voice AI company, with reports highlighting that shares had already dropped around 36% since the start of the year. This performance trailed its industry peers and the broader market. The decline occurred as the company, once popular with retail traders, faced increasing doubt from investors. SoundHound's drop was more significant than the slight dip seen in the wider tech sector during the session.

Shares of auto parts and accessories retailer AutoZone (NYSE:AZO) fell 6.3% in the morning session after it reported fourth-quarter earnings and sales that fell short of Wall Street expectations. The company's earnings per share came in at $31.04, missing analyst forecasts of $32.40. While net sales grew 8.2% year-over-year to $4.63 billion, the figure was slightly below estimates of $4.65 billion. Furthermore, same-store sales, a key performance indicator for retailers, rose 4.7% year-on-year. The company's profitability also weakened, with its gross margin declining by 2 percentage points and its operating margin falling to 16.9% from 19.7% in the same quarter last year, contributing to lower-than-expected profits.

Shares of life sciences cloud software provider Veeva Systems (NYSE:VEEV) fell 3% in the morning session after a lack of positive news catalysts allowed technical trading patterns to dominate, continuing its recent underperformance. According to technical analysis, the stock's recent price behavior had been difficult. Its technical rating was poor, with negative trends observed in both the short and long term. The stock also underperformed the wider S&P 500 index over recent months. This downward move was followed by a consolidation period, a pattern that some traders viewed as a potential signal for further declines.

Shares of dental products company Envista Holdings (NYSE:NVST) jumped 3.2% in the morning session after Barclays initiated coverage on the stock with an 'Overweight' rating and a $24 price target. The new rating from the financial firm suggested a positive outlook on the company's future performance. An 'Overweight' rating typically means the analyst believes the stock will do better than the average return of other stocks in its sector. The assigned $24 price target also indicated potential for the stock to rise from its previous trading level. This type of new coverage from a major firm can boost investor confidence and often leads to increased interest in a stock.

Shares of homebuilding company Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL) fell 1.1% in the morning session after the company reported third-quarter results that missed profit expectations and signaled weakening demand for its luxury homes. 

Shares of online money transfer platform Remitly (NASDAQ:RELY) jumped 4.1% in the morning session after the company unveiled a positive medium-term outlook and set financial targets for 2026 and 2028 during its Investor Day event. During the event, Remitly shared its vision for building a global financial services company. Management provided financial targets for 2028, with revenue expected to be in a range of $2.6 billion to $3.0 billion and Adjusted EBITDA projected between $575 million and $600 million. The company also stated it would balance revenue growth and profitability to achieve a "Rule of 40" framework by 2028, meaning the sum of its revenue growth rate and profit margin would aim to be at least 40%. To reach these goals, Remitly planned to introduce new value-added financial services and enter high-growth areas to deepen engagement with customers. The company's CFO noted that its financial model was built on a foundation of durable growth.

Shares of data center products and services company Vertiv (NYSE:VRT) fell 3.2% in the morning session after Wolfe Research downgraded its stock from Outperform to Peer Perform and the company was not selected for inclusion in the S&P 500 index. Adding to the pressure, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that Ares Management would join the benchmark index, while Vertiv, a data-center infrastructure company, was among those that missed out this round. Inclusion in a major index like the S&P 500 often leads to increased demand for a stock from index-tracking funds. Therefore, being passed over was viewed as a setback by investors.

Shares of alternate site health provider Option Care Health (NASDAQ:OPCH) jumped 4.7% in the morning session after the company received positive commentary from multiple financial analysts, including price target increases from Deutsche Bank and BofA Securities. Deutsche Bank raised its price target on the stock to $36 from $31, while keeping a Buy rating. Similarly, BofA Securities lifted its target to $35 from $32 and also maintained its Buy rating. The move from BofA followed a conference where Option Care Health's management reaffirmed the company's long-term goals. These targets included expectations for high single-digit revenue growth and low double-digit earnings growth, signaling confidence in the company's future performance. The updates contributed to a broadly positive view among analysts.

Shares of exercise equipment company Peloton (NASDAQ:PTON) jumped 6.2% in the morning session after the company officially launched its 2025 holiday sales event for its fitness equipment. The promotions, which covered the company's popular Bikes, Treads, and Rows, were designed to drive sales during the crucial holiday shopping season. By offering discounts, Peloton aimed to attract new customers and boost its revenue. The market's positive reaction suggested investors were optimistic that the sales event could lead to stronger financial performance for the connected fitness company.

Shares of mobile app technology company AppLovin (NASDAQ:APP) jumped 3.6% in the morning session after the company provided a positive business update during its presentation at the Nasdaq 53rd Investor Conference.

This strength was driven by ongoing improvements to its models and the introduction of new self-serve tools for clients. The company also noted that its AI-powered advertising solutions were successfully expanding its advertisers' reach, pointing to continued market expansion.

Shares of regional banking company KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) jumped 3.9% in the morning session after the company released a positive investor presentation for the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Conference, highlighting expectations for a record revenue year. The presentation detailed a strong financial outlook, with the company projecting adjusted total revenue to grow by more than 15% year-over-year. Additionally, net interest income was anticipated to increase by over 22%. KeyCorp also outlined its plans to return capital to shareholders, including the repurchase of approximately $200 million in shares in the fourth quarter. This move was part of a larger, remaining authorization of about $800 million for capital returns.

Shares of student loan provider Sallie Mae (NASDAQ:SLM) fell 16.4% in the morning session after multiple analysts downgraded the stock, citing concerns about a higher expense outlook. Morgan Stanley lowered its rating on the student loan company from 'Overweight' to 'Equalweight' and cut its price target. The change came after Sallie Mae presented a scenario that showed potentially higher-than-expected expenses in 2026 and 2027 as it prepared for new loan opportunities and potential government changes. Due to this outlook, Morgan Stanley reduced its earnings per share estimates for those years. Adding to the pressure, Compass Point also downgraded the stock more severely, from 'Buy' to 'Sell,' and significantly lowered its price target from $35.00 to $23.00.

Shares of digital infrastructure investor DigitalBridge Group (NYSE:DBRG) jumped 2.1% in the morning session on continued positive momentum following a massive rally in the previous session driven by reports of a potential acquisition. 

Shares of offshore banking group Butterfield Bank (NYSE:NTB) jumped 2.7% in the morning session after the company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new $140 million share repurchase program. The plan authorized the bank to buy back up to 3.0 million of its ordinary shares through December 31, 2026. This new program was set to begin on January 1, 2026, and replaced an existing repurchase plan. Share buybacks reduce the number of shares available on the market, which can increase the value of the remaining shares. This move was often seen by investors as a sign of confidence from a company's leadership in its own financial future and a commitment to returning value to its shareholders.

Shares of beer company Molson Coors (NYSE:TAP) fell 3% in the morning session after concerns grew over the impact of new weight-loss drugs on alcohol sales, a factor cited by Piper Sandler when the firm lowered its price target on the stock. The investment firm cut its price target to $50 from $52, citing recent developments in GLP-1 drugs and other regulatory factors. These types of drugs, often used for weight loss, were believed to be negatively impacting alcohol consumption. This view was previously shared by Molson Coors' former CEO, Gavin Hattersley, who had noted the adverse effects of these drugs. The adjustment from the analyst firm highlighted the increasing caution regarding the potential for these drugs to dampen demand for alcoholic products.

Shares of egg and butter company Vital Farms (NASDAQ:VITL) jumped 6.2% in the morning session after S&P Dow Jones Indices announced the company would be added to the S&P SmallCap 600 index. The news meant that index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&P SmallCap 600 needed to buy shares of Vital Farms to mirror the index's composition. This anticipated demand from passive investors often causes a stock's price to increase. According to the announcement, Vital Farms was set to officially join the index before trading began on December 11. The company replaced Heidrick & Struggles International in the index.

Shares of e-commerce florist and gift retailer 1-800-FLOWERS (NASDAQ:FLWS) jumped 18.2% in the morning session after the company announced the appointment of Alexander Zelikovsky as its new Chief Information Officer, which extended a rally from the previous trading session. This move continued the positive reaction from the prior day when the news was first released and the stock gained over 6%. Zelikovsky, a technology leader with over 25 years of experience, previously served as Executive Vice President and Global CIO at Pitney Bowes. His appointment is part of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM's strategy to accelerate its digital transformation under CEO Adolfo Villagomez. Zelikovsky will lead enterprise IT, data management, cybersecurity, and support for AI and digital commerce efforts. The market's sustained positive response suggested investor confidence in the new leadership to drive growth.

Shares of buy-now-pay-later service Sezzle (NASDAQCM:SEZL) jumped 4.8% in the morning session after it was announced the company would be added to the S&P SmallCap 600 index. The disclosure came from S&P Dow Jones Indices, which confirmed that Sezzle was set to replace Vital Energy Inc. in the index. The change was scheduled to be effective before the opening of trading on December 15. Being added to a major index is often viewed positively by investors. This is because index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&P SmallCap 600 were then required to purchase Sezzle's shares to match the index's holdings. This activity often created additional buying pressure and demand for the stock.
