Markets giveth, markets taketh away.
While some stocks have soared on hype and strong earnings, others got hammered this week — whether by bad forecasts, shaky fundamentals, or brutal investor reality checks.
Traders on Markets like Kalshi are always trying to gauge what Walll Street might do and where the numbers might end up.
So from airlines to AI, here’s a breakdown of 10 companies that took a beating and the reasons behind the crash. If you’re holding any of these, it might be time to take a harder look.
Wizz Air (WIZZ.L) – Down 24%
Wizz Air nosedived after pulling its full-year forecast, blaming “lack of visibility” across the season. Despite record passenger numbers, profits cratered over 60%—thanks to soaring costs and grounded jets due to Pratt & Whitney engine failures.
ChargePoint (CHPT) – Down 21%
ChargePoint got smoked after posting a bigger loss than expected and serving up weak guidance. It’s a grim reflection of the broader struggles hitting EV infrastructure right now.
Brown-Forman (BF.B) – Down 18%
Whiskey’s not flowing like it used to. Brown-Forman shares dropped hard after soft results and a sour forecast, casting doubt on consumer demand in the liquor market.
PVH Corp (PVH) – Down 18%
PVH, the company behind Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, took a hit on weak earnings and a dim outlook. Retail’s hurting—and PVH is feeling it.
Ciena (CIEN) – Down 11%
Ciena missed on earnings and paid the price. Revenue ticked up, but it wasn’t enough to ease investor nerves about the health of the telecom gear space.
Tesla (TSLA) – Down 4.2%
Tesla slipped below a key technical line as global demand wobbles. A looming robotaxi rollout, Musk’s latest clash with Trump, sagging sales in China, and renewed safety concerns all weighed down the stock.
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) – Under Pressure
It didn’t crash, but it’s cracking. Palantir’s sky-high valuation has analysts calling it one of the most overvalued large-caps ever—trading at 565x trailing earnings. Investors are asking: how much growth is too much to believe?
Costco (COST) – Down 3.4%
Costco dipped after concerns mounted over slowing sales and stiffer competition. Wholesale retail is still strong—but the shine’s wearing off.
Constellation Brands (STZ) – Down 3.4%
Beer, wine, and spirits weren’t enough to keep STZ in the green. The stock slipped after earnings underwhelmed and demand signals turned soft.
Procter & Gamble (PG) – Down 1.4%
PG dropped after announcing 7,000 job cuts. Investors are weighing whether the cost-cutting means long-term gains or a red flag for what’s ahead.
