Tomorrow's Top CNBC Stories Tonight

Stryker pops on earnings beat

Medical devices company Stryker is higher in the extended session after a nice beat on earnings and estimates. Its FY EPS outlook also came in ahead of expectations. With the after-hours move, it's around 6% away from a fresh high. While it's only slightly higher so far in 2023, it's been an outperformer on the iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (IHI).

Mondelez shares tick up

Mondelez is slightly higher after hours. The company reported a beat on earnings and revenue, supported by gains in volumes and price increases. While the stock has had a slow start to this year, it has outperformed some of its peers in the past few months. The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP), for instance, is up more than 1% in three months, while Mondelez has gained 6% in the same interval.

A big day for homebuilders

Homebuilders soared today, with the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) and iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (ITB) each gaining more than 4%. The gains were fueled by PulteGroup, which posted its fourth-straight monthly gain and closed at its highest level since December 2021 – all fueled by a nice beat on EPS and revenue. That also gave a boost to Lennar, which hit its own high, and D.R. Horton, which finished the day less than 1% from a new high.

C3.ai's new product launch

C3.ai unveiled a new AI-driven enterprise search product, which it says incorporates capabilities from firms like ChatGPT-parent Open AI and Google. The stock posted its best day since May 2022 on huge volume, and it capped off its best month since going public in 2020. Still, last year's tech slump has C3.ai almost 30% off its February 2022 high.
