Shares of lifting and material handling equipment company Terex (NYSE:TEX)
jumped 10.9% in the afternoon session after the company reported impressive first quarter 2025 results with EBITDA exceeding analysts' expectations and full-year EBITDA and EPS guidance topping Wall Street's estimates. The Environmental Solutions segment stood out, delivering roughly 20% adjusted margin and making up one-third of total revenue, which provided much-needed stability amid weakness in other segments. On the other hand, its revenue fell slightly short of Wall Street's estimates. Overall, this print was mixed but still had some key positives.
Shares of higher education company Perdoceo Education (NASDAQ:PRDO) jumped 22.5% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results with revenue and EPS exceeding Wall Street's estimates.

Overall, we think this was a solid quarter with some key areas of upside.

Shares of internet, cable TV, and phone provider Cable One (NYSE:CABO)
fell 36.7% in the morning session after the company reported weak first quarter 2025 results: Its number of residential data subscribers missed along with its revenue, EPS, and EBITDA. Sales fell nearly 6% from the same quarter last year, dragged by a 4.5% drop in residential data revenue and a nearly 16% plunge in residential video revenue, as Cable One neared the end of its legacy video product phase. Also, management suspended the dividend to conserve over $200 million over the next three years, signaling a pivot toward debt reduction and internal investment over shareholder returns. Overall, this was a nightmare quarter.
Shares of american restaurant chain BJ’s Restaurants (NASDAQ:BJRI)
jumped 12.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong first-quarter 2025 results, which significantly beat analysts' EPS and EBITDA expectations. Sales were in line, up just over 3% year-on-year, a modest gain reflecting limited same-store sales growth of 1.7%, while a 2.7% increase in guest traffic carried most of the weight. Zooming out, we think this was a solid print.
