Walmart's Wall Crawl to Profits!

Alright web heads let's swing into action! First up Walmart. They're like the Aunt May of retail – always there always reliable...and apparently always turning a profit! They beat earnings expectations like I beat Doc Ock but the stock only dipped slightly. Guess even good news can't always make everyone happy huh? It's like when I save the cat but ruin the parade – always a trade off!

Foot Locker Gets Tripped Up!

Oh boy. Dick's Sporting Goods just bought Foot Locker for a cool $2.4 billion! Dick's offered $24 per share which is like an 86% increase to Foot Locker’s share price they must have been running in circles when they heard the news! Foot Locker's stock jumped but Dick's took a tumble. Talk about a super powered acquisition! I guess some mergers are like my team ups with Deadpool – chaotic but ultimately effective… maybe?

UnitedHealth Under the Microscope!

Uh oh looks like someone's been naughty! UnitedHealth Group is being investigated for possible Medicare fraud. Talk about a sticky situation! Their stock dropped faster than I drop bad guys from the Chrysler Building. Hopefully they can clear this up quickly because nobody likes a villain in the healthcare business. 'With great power comes great responsibility,' remember? Even for insurance companies!

Cisco's Signals Soar!

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Cisco's quarterly results crushed Wall Street's expectations and their stock is climbing higher than I do after a triple espresso! They even issued some optimistic guidance which is always a good sign. It seems like they are ahead of the game and they’re finance chief is retiring in July so he is probably going to chill out on a beach somewhere… good for him. They’re feeling good Mr. Aziz! Pizza time!

Tech Troubles: Alibaba & Apple!

Not everyone's having a party. Alibaba's numbers disappointed and their stock is dropping faster than MJ when I forget to catch her! Ouch! And Apple? President Trump apparently told Tim Cook he doesn't want them building products in India. It’s always something. Between fighting supervillains and keeping up with global trade wars a web slinger's gotta stay sharp!

Boot Barn Kicks Up CoreWeave Struggles and DXC's Disappointment!

Boot Barn is having a great time their stocks are going up despite not great earnings! They’re even buying back $200 million in their own stock. CoreWeave had a widening loss tough break for a new public company. And DXC Technology… yikes! Disappointing guidance sent their stock plummeting faster than I plummet after a Green Goblin sneak attack. Poor guys.

    I'm pretty sure Electro is manipulating the stock market with his powers.
