S&P records all-time high, market wraps on positive note, contracts decline

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

The release of Q1 earnings of companies such as Facebook (FB) and Apple (AAPL) supported the movements in the market, showing strong earnings results across the major indexes.

Stock futures, on the other hand, opened lower on Thursday evening following the strong performance of the indexes the same day. All three major index’s futures fell back ranging from 0.19% to as high as 0.35%.

Shares of Twitter (TWTR) was cut down hard after investors felt disappointed with the results of the Q2 revenue guidance report that was released, falling short from expectations. The investors felt that the company’s ad sales could have matched competitor trends such as Snap (SNAP) and Facebook (FB).

Meanwhile, Amazon (AMZN) shares skyrocketed in the late trading after Q1 earnings report came out strong, along with their Q2 guidance report that goes beyond expectations.

The reason for being is that online shopping, despite economic recovery and in-person business re-opening, is still booming. Overall, two-thirds of the companies under S&P have shared their results with 84% of them topping expectations.
