Verizon Stock Tumbles༒ as Q1 Revenue Comes Up Short

Shares of Verizon Communications (VZ) fell Monday after the telecommunications giant reported 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:first-quarter revenue that lagged analyst expectati▨ons,ꦦ overshadowing a beat on the bottom line.

The company reported $32.98 billion in 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:total revenue, just under 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:analyst estimates compiled by Visible Alpha of $33.2 billion. However, Verizon did report a slight profit beat, posting 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:net income of $4.72 billion, topping projections of $4.61 billion. Diluted 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:earnings per share (EPS) of $1.09 matched estimates.

Afte▨r ri🎐sing in premarket trading following the results, Verizon shares were down more than 4% late in the session Monday.

Revenue from Verizon's consumer services, which includes wireless phone service and broadband internet, rose slightly year-over-year as the company said higher prices and flexible plans offset lower equipment sales volumes and fewer phone upgrades.

The company said the first-quarter performance keeps it on track to meet its prior full-year guidance of wireless revenue growth of 2% to 3.5%, and adjusted EPS of $4.50 to $4.70.

So, Bitcoin Halving Is Done. Now What?

The highly-anticipated fourth iteration of the bitcoin halving occurred a little 🦂after 8:09 p.m. Eastern on Friday. Bitcoin was up more than 3% at about $66,600 Mꦕonday afternoon.

In the past, halvings have led to new all-time highs for the bitcoin price in the months following the events. However, this 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:time has been different, as the bitcoin pr�ไ�ice has already reached a new all-time in the months prior to the halving.

Analysts at JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank have said that the impact of this halving was mostly baked into pre-halving prices and that there isn't likely to be a large upward movement in the price in its aftermath.

By their estimation, the near-term effects of the halving may be limited to the bitcoin mining sector, where consolidation could occur as overall hashrate declines due to decreased profitability.

Truist Rises on Q1 Profit Beat, Despite War💃ning on Full-Year Revenue

Shares of Truist Financial (TFC) advanced Monday as the financial services p🔯rovider posted a quarterly profit beat, but warned about revenue the rest of the year.

Truist reported first-quarter adjusted 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:earnings per share (EPS) of $0.90, beating estimates, but revenue dropped 8.8% to $4.87 billion, short of forecasts.

Truist’s 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:net interest income declined 4.2% to $3.43 billion, missing expectations, and net income margin slid 7 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:basis points (bps).

What Does the S&P 500's 6-Day Losing Streak Portend?

The S&P 5൲00 fell for a sixth consecutive day on Friday, notching its longest losing streak since🅘 October 2022. So what’s next for the index? 

According to data from investment management firm LPL Financial, the roಌugh patch may not be the omen it appears.

The worst of it is that the odds of the S&P 500 falling for a seventh consecutive day is about 40%, according to chief technical strategist Adam Turnquist. 

But on average, the S&P 500 returns ab🐠out 0.3% in the week after a 6-day losing streak and is positive over that week about 60% of the time. The average 12-month return is more than 13%, and the index rises over that period 79% of the time. 

Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future returns, but after last week’s sell-off, history is on the side of the bulls.🌳

Tesla Stock Drops After EV Maker Cuts Price🃏s in US and Other Ke🌳y Markets

Tesla (TSLA) shares fell nearly 3% in early trading Monday after the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:electric-vehicle (EV) maker followed up a round of U.S. price reductions announced on Friday with discounts on a range of mod🥂els in other key markets, including China and Germany, as the company aims to boost demand amid heightened competition.

On Friday, Tesla shaved $2,000 off the price tag of its Model Y, Model X, and Model S vehicles in the U.S., while reducing the price of its Full Self-Driving 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:driver-assistance software to $8,000 from $12,000.

In China, the EV maker reduced the price of its Model 3 by 14,000 yuan to 231,900 yuan, roughly $32,000, according to the company’s website on Sunday. Meanwhile, the company slashed the price of its rear-wheel-drive Model 3 in Germany to 40,990 euros, approximately $43,670, from 42,990 euros.

Taking a looking at Tesla's weekly chart, the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average last month to form a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:death cross, an ominous chart pattern that indicates a downward trend. Indeed, the price closed last week below the lower trendline of a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:descending channel, opening the door for further declines leading into the company’s 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:earnings release on Tuesday.

However, if selling pressure continues in the weeks ahead, investors should keep a close eye on the January 2023 swing low at $101.81, an area on the chart that would likely attract significant buying interest, especially given the region sits close to the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:psychological $100 level.
