A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after industry bellwether UnitedHealth Group (UNH) slashed its 2025 profit forecast after reporting a significant surge in medical costs, sending shockwaves across the health insurance sector. The core of the issue stems from an “unprecedented medical cost trend environment,” particularly within the Medicare Advantage market, which are privately run versions of the federal health insurance program. UnitedHealth, the largest provider in this space, now expects these costs to rise by 7.5% in 2025, a significant jump from its earlier 5% projection, with the potential to accelerate to almost 10% in 2026. In response, the insurer announced it will drop plans covering over 600,000 people. The company's lowered earnings forecast has raised investor concerns that these surging costs and utilization rates are an industry-wide problem, impacting the profitability of other carriers as well.

Shares of waste management services provider Waste Management (NYSE:WM) jumped 3.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter results that surpassed analyst expectations for both revenue and profit. The company posted revenue of $6.43 billion, marking a 19% increase year-over-year, alongside an adjusted earnings per share of $1.92. This growth was largely fueled by the acquisition of Stericycle, which contributed significantly to the positive results. In addition to beating on the top and bottom lines, Waste Management achieved a record operating expense margin, highlighting operational efficiency. The company also boosted investor confidence by raising its full-year free cash flow guidance by $125 million, projecting a range between $2.8 billion and $2.9 billion.

Shares of offshore banking group Butterfield Bank (NYSE:NTB) jumped 3.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter financial results that beat analyst expectations and announced an increase in its shareholder returns.

Alongside the positive earnings, Butterfield announced a 14% increase to its quarterly dividend, bringing it to $0.50 per share, and initiated a new share repurchase program. This enhanced capital return strategy, coupled with the strong quarterly performance, underscored management's confidence and commitment to delivering shareholder value. The reported earnings also represented a notable improvement compared to the $1.09 per share earned in the same quarter of the prior year.

Shares of home appliances manufacturer Whirlpool (NYSE:WHR) fell 12.6% in the afternoon session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter earnings, significantly cut its dividend, and lowered its full-year financial forecast. The company's second-quarter earnings per share of $1.34 missed analyst expectations, and net sales fell 5.4% year-over-year to $3.77 billion. Management pointed to declining global demand, increased promotions, and competitors stockpiling imports ahead of U.S. tariffs as key pressures on the results. In response to the challenging environment, Whirlpool reduced its full-year earnings guidance to a range of $6.00 to $8.00 per share, a significant drop from its previous forecast of around $10.00. The company also announced a major cut to its annual dividend, lowering it to $3.60 per share.

Shares of semiconductor design software provider Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:CDNS) jumped 9.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter results that surpassed analyst expectations and raised its full-year financial outlook. The electronic design automation (EDA) company, which provides software and hardware for designing semiconductors, posted second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.65 per share on revenue of $1.28 billion. This revenue figure represented a 20% increase year-over-year, and both metrics beat analyst forecasts. The strong performance was attributed to high demand from the artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and automotive sectors. This result came despite Cadence disclosing a one-time charge of $140.6 million to settle legal proceedings with the U.S. government over its business operations in China. Investors appeared to focus on the strong results, as the company also increased its 2025 revenue forecast to a range of $5.21 billion to $5.27 billion and its adjusted EPS guidance to between $6.85 and $6.95. Following the news, analysts at firms including J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo raised their price targets.

Shares of diversified bank holding company Merchants Bancorp (NASDAQCM:MBIN) fell 8.9% in the afternoon session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter 2025 earnings that fell significantly short of analyst expectations. The bank posted diluted earnings per share of $0.60, missing the consensus analyst estimate of $1.12. Net income for the quarter came in at $38.0 million, a significant drop from the $76.4 million earned in the same period a year earlier. The company attributed the decline primarily to a large increase in its provision for credit losses. This provision was linked to lower appraised values on multi-family properties and an ongoing investigation into borrower mortgage fraud. In response to the results, analysts at Raymond James lowered their price target on the stock, highlighting the earnings miss and increased net charge-offs.

Shares of equipment rental company Herc Holdings (NYSE:HRI) fell 17.9% in the afternoon session after the company issued a disappointing full-year forecast that overshadowed its second-quarter financial results. While the equipment rental company's revenue grew 18.2% year-over-year to $1.00 billion, it reported a net loss of $35 million. This loss stemmed primarily from $73 million in costs related to its acquisition of H&E Equipment Services and a $49 million asset impairment. The market reacted negatively to the company's updated guidance for the full year, with its revenue projection falling 15% below analyst expectations. The acquisition also increased Herc's debt load and pushed its net leverage ratio to 3.8x, amplifying concerns about the company's financial stability amid the costly integration process.

Shares of global pharmaceutical company Merck (NYSE:MRK) fell 3.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter financial results that missed revenue expectations and revealed a new multi-year cost-cutting initiative. The pharmaceutical giant posted total sales of $15.8 billion, representing a 2% decrease from the same period last year. This revenue shortfall was primarily driven by a steep 55% drop in sales for its Gardasil vaccine, which faced declining demand in China. While the company's earnings per share beat analysts' forecasts, investors appeared to focus on the top-line miss. Alongside the earnings, Merck announced a major restructuring plan aimed at saving $3 billion annually through measures that included layoffs and real estate reductions. The company stated these savings would be reinvested to support new product launches and its research pipeline.

Shares of manufacturing company Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE:SWK) fell 7.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter results that beat profit forecasts but fell short on revenue, raising investor concerns about sales and profitability. The toolmaker posted adjusted earnings of $1.08 per share, which beat Wall Street forecasts. However, revenues of approximately $3.95 billion missed consensus estimates and represented a 2% decline from the prior year. The company attributed the sales drop to a sluggish outdoor buying season and disruptions related to tariffs. Compounding the concerns, the company's gross margin also declined year-over-year, signaling pressure on its profitability. The combination of a revenue shortfall and shrinking margins overshadowed the earnings beat, leading investors to sell off the stock.

Shares of biopharmaceutical company Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ:INCY) jumped 10.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter financial results that beat analyst expectations and raised its full-year guidance for its top-selling drug, Jakafi. The specialty drugmaker posted quarterly revenue of $1.22 billion, a significant 17.3% increase from the previous year, which surpassed the consensus estimate of $1.15 billion. Its adjusted profit of $1.57 per share also came in ahead of Wall Street's forecasts. The strong performance was driven by robust product sales, with revenue from its flagship drug Jakafi growing by 8% and sales of its Opzelura cream surging 35% year-over-year. Citing continued demand, Incyte lifted its 2025 sales forecast for Jakafi to a new range of $3.0 billion to $3.05 billion.

Shares of aerospace and defense company Boeing (NYSE:BA) fell 3.8% in the afternoon session as investors focused on production delays and potential labor disputes despite reporting better-than-expected second-quarter revenue and a smaller loss. The company posted quarterly revenue of $22.7 billion and a core loss per share of $1.24, both beating analyst forecasts. However, positive sentiment was tempered by significant headwinds. Boeing announced that the certification for its new 777-9 and 737 MAX 7 and 10 models was delayed until 2026, a notable setback. 

Shares of electrical and electronic products company Hubbell (NYSE:HUBB) fell 3.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported mixed second-quarter financial results, where a miss on revenue overshadowed a strong earnings beat. The electrical products manufacturer posted revenue of $1.48 billion, which fell short of analysts' consensus estimates of $1.51 billion. This top-line miss appeared to concern investors more than the company's otherwise strong bottom-line performance. Hubbell reported adjusted earnings of $4.93 per share, significantly surpassing Wall Street expectations. Furthermore, the company raised its full-year earnings guidance to a range of $17.65 to $18.15 per share. Despite the positive earnings and improved outlook, the market's reaction suggested that the slowdown in sales growth weighed heavily on sentiment.

Shares of glass and electronic component manufacturer Corning (NYSE:GLW) jumped 12.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported stellar second-quarter financial results that surpassed analyst expectations, driven by surging demand for its AI-related products. The materials science company announced that core sales grew 12% year-over-year to $4.05 billion, while core earnings per share (EPS) jumped 28% to $0.60, beating analyst estimates. This performance was largely attributed to the Optical Communications division, where enterprise sales soared by an impressive 81% year-over-year, propelled by strong demand for products used in Generative AI. Bolstering investor confidence, the company also issued an optimistic forecast for the third quarter, projecting core sales of around $4.2 billion and signaling that management expected the positive momentum to persist.

Shares of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration company Carrier Global (NYSE:CARR) fell 11.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported mixed second-quarter financial results and lowered its full-year sales guidance for its residential segment. Although the air conditioner maker beat analysts' estimates for second-quarter profit with a 26% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share to $0.92, its revenue of $6.11 billion fell short of consensus estimates. Investor concern appeared to center on the company's outlook. Carrier lowered its full-year forecast for residential organic sales growth, citing a late start to the summer which led to a fall in orders. The market's negative reaction suggested that the revenue miss and reduced guidance for a key segment outweighed the strong profit performance.
