Bloody Hell! These Companies Are Either Booming or Busting and You Won't Believe Who's Cashing In!

Oklahoma Blues: BOK Bites the Dust

Right so BOK Financial this Oklahoma bank eh? They thought they could pull a fast one did they? Their shares took a right beating down 3%. Seems their earnings per share for the first quarter didn't meet Wall Street's fancy expectations. One pound eighty six pence they made when the suits wanted one pound ninety nine pence. Net interest margin was off too. 'Course in this game someone always bleeds. It's just business.

Utah's Fall: Zions Gets Zapped

Then you have Zions Bancorporation from Utah. Down nearly 6% they are. Weaker than expected earnings per share they’re saying. One pound thirteen pence when they should have made one pound eighteen pence. Five pence might not sound like much to you but it adds up doesn't it? Makes you wonder what these blokes are playing at. As I always say 'Everyone's a whore Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves.'

Calix Cashes In: A Victory Lap

But it's not all doom and gloom is it? Calix now they're laughing. Up 14%! Stronger than expected earnings and upbeat guidance. Nineteen pence a share on 220.2 million in revenue. FactSet thought they'd only get thirteen pence on 207.1 million. Someone's been making the right moves. Maybe it's time I had a word with these fellas. 'Whiskey's good proofing water. Tells you who's real and who isn't.'

MongoDB's Mayhem: A CFO's Sudden Exit

MongoDB however is having a bit of a kerfuffle. Shares down 2% because this Srdjan Tanjga bloke is quitting as interim CFO. Gone by May 8th. They say they'll have a new one in seven to ten days. Smells a bit fishy don't it? Always keep your enemies confused. If they don't know who you are or what you want then they can't know what you're going to do next.

Arizona's Agony: Western Alliance's Woes

Western Alliance Bancorp from Arizona also took a tumble down 2%. They beat earnings per share slightly they say but their net interest income and net interest margin were lower than expected. Can't win 'em all eh? But remember 'Intelligence is a very valuable thing innit my friend? And usually it comes too late.'

Medpace's Misstep: New Business Blues

Finally Medpace Holdings. Down 6%. New business awards in the first quarter were down 19% from last year. 500 million they got. It could be worse I suppose.
