Messi's Market Musings: Costco Scores, Gap Stumbles, and Palantir Gets Political!

Costco's Goal den Quarter!

¡Hola amigos! Leo here trading my cleats for… well maybe not trading but definitely taking a peek at Wall Street. Seems like Costco's having a better season than PSG sometimes did eh? They crushed their third quarter results sales soaring like one of my free kicks. 8% jump? That's like the number of goals I score in my dreams… nightly. Looks like bulk buying is the new beautiful game!

Ulta Beauty's Smashing Success!

And Ulta Beauty? ¡Madre mía! Their stock is hitting 52 week highs. I mean I know a thing or two about looking good on the field (thanks to my barber of course) but these guys are pros. Lower inventory losses and new launches? Sounds like a well executed strategy a bit like that winning play against Bayern! Someone get me some eye liner and hair gel!

Gap's Fashion Flop (and My Wardrobe Crisis)

Ouch poor Gap. Plunging 20%? That’s gotta hurt more than a tackle from Ramos. Their sales outlook is flatter than a poorly inflated football. Maybe they should hire me as a consultant? I could design a Messi branded tracksuit. I'm joking... unless...?

Tech Troubles: Elastic and Marvell Fumble

Elastic NV and Marvell Technology are feeling the pressure eh? Missing revenue forecasts and underwhelming earnings. It’s like when I miss a penalty – devastating! (Okay okay it doesn’t happen often!). They need a pep talk from Pep Guardiola.

Regeneron and Sanofi's Respiratory Setback

Regeneron and Sanofi feeling the pain with their respiratory drug trials. Inconsistent results? That's the last thing you want when trying to score a goal... I mean deliver a life saving medicine. They need to go back to the drawing board like Argentina after that Saudi Arabia game!

Palantir's Data Dive and Government Goals

And finally Palantir. Apparently the Trump administration's using them to compile data. Whoa there! I'm just trying to play soccer not get involved in politics. Sounds like they're expanding their dealings with the government. That's their 'GOAT' status to achieve then I guess! On a lighter note this whole stock market thing is giving me a headache. Time for some mate and a nap. ¡Adios!
