Major U.S. stocks posted sharp moves following earnings reports, updated guidance, and strategic announcements, driving heightened activity across the broader stock market.
Dell Technologies (DELL) surged 11% after delivering strong fourth-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street expectations. The company reported revenue of $33.4 billion, significantly above the $31.41 billion consensus estimate. Even more notable, Dell issued robust long-term guidance, projecting fiscal year 2027 revenue between $138 billion and $142 billion, well ahead of analyst forecasts of $124.9 billion. The upbeat outlook fueled investor confidence and boosted Dell stock.
Block, Inc. (XYZ) rallied 23% after posting solid quarterly results and unveiling a major restructuring plan. The fintech company announced it will reduce its workforce by more than 40%, signaling a significant shift in its organizational strategy aimed at improving operational efficiency and profitability.

Duolingo (DUOL) dropped 22% after issuing forward guidance that fell short of market expectations, overshadowing its quarterly performance. Meanwhile, cybersecurity firm Zscaler (ZS) declined 7%. Although Zscaler reported earnings that topped estimates, its full-year revenue guidance came in merely in line with consensus forecasts, disappointing investors seeking stronger growth signals.
CoreWeave (CRWV) slid 5% after reporting earnings per share that missed expectations. However, the company disclosed a sizable revenue backlog of $66.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, highlighting continued demand in the AI infrastructure and data center space.
