Fashionably Late... But Arriving in Style!
Alright people listen up! Your friendly neighborhood Iron Man here reporting live from the chaotic battlefield that is the stock market. First up PVH Corp – yeah the guys who keep you looking sharp in your Calvins and Hilfigers – absolutely crushed their earnings. Up 16%! I'm telling you even I'm considering ditching the red and gold for a little more *je ne sais quoi*. Maybe a titanium infused turtleneck? Though let's be real I make this suit look good. It's not the other way around. But hey congrats to them it seems 'fashion' is still spelled with a capital 'CA CHING!'.
Johnson & Johnson: Powder Keg Situation!
Now for some not so good news. Johnson & Johnson is facing a heap of trouble after a judge smacked down their $10 billion settlement over those talc lawsuits. Ouch. Shares dipped 4%. It seems like they're learning the hard way: Trying to sweep problems under the rug is a bad look especially when people's health is on the line. Lesson learned: Sometimes you gotta face the music. And maybe just maybe come up with a better non cancer causing baby powder?
Airlines: Turbulence Ahead!
Speaking of nosedives the airlines are hitting some serious turbulence. American Delta Southwest... all feeling the sting of downgrades. Southwest took a particularly bad hit losing over 3%. Maybe they should invest in some Arc Reactors for their planes? Or you know just try not to lose everyone's luggage. JARVIS remind me to never fly commercial again. “As much as I enjoy our banter sir I must remind you that is indeed your private jet.” Ah yes indeed.
Xpeng: Electrifying the Market!
On a brighter note Xpeng the Chinese electric vehicle company is surging! Up 3% after a 260% increase in deliveries compared to last year. Talk about a comeback! Guess they finally figured out how to make a car that doesn't spontaneously combust. Just kidding! (Mostly.) But seriously good for them. The future is electric people. Just ask my arc reactor... although I don't think it has a USB port for charging my phone. Progress not perfection people!
Newsmax: From Zero to Hero (or At Least a Headline!)
Okay this one's a head scratcher. Newsmax shares are going bananas! Up over 22% *today* after already jumping over 700% yesterday. 700%?! What is this amateur hour? Stark Industries jumps higher than that weekly! It's good to see someone going from rags to riches. But let's be honest anyone can make money in the stock market if they can manipulate enough news isn't that right! "Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk".
Burgers and Marketing: A Recipe for Success!
Finally we've got Shake Shack and First Watch Restaurant Group. Shake Shack is up 3% after an upgrade and First Watch is seeing a similar boost thanks to some fancy marketing. See? Burgers and targeted ads can save the world! (Or at least boost a stock price.) Maybe I should start selling Stark Burgers. I’m just saying Pepper should consider the options. Gotta run folks this billionaire has to pay for his toys which involves buying other companies. “Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.”

Maybe Stark can invent a safe baby powder. That's a product I'd buy!
