POPS (stocks that jumped higher)
Regions Financial (RF) popped 67%. The bank surprised investors with good news Thursday; it said it expects to report a profit for the first quarter when most analysts had predicted a significant loss. - I'd be very careful of this stock from this point forward, says Pete Najarian.
US Steel (X) popped 15%. Investors bid the stock higher despite S&P’s decision to put the company on a negative credit rating watch. - The beat goes on, says Tim Seymour.
Proctor & Gamble (PG) popped 5%. The consumer goods company raised its quarterly dividend by 10%. - If you're looking for real juice go elsewhere, says Zach Karabell.
Simon Property Group (SPG) popped 15%. This REIT made gains after rival General Growth announced plans to restructure under bankruptcy protection. - SPG also made the Conviction Buy list at Goldman, adds Pete Najarian.
Vodafone Group (VOD) popped 7%. Cost cutting measures provided analysts with hope for the company's earnings. - I think it's an interesting play, says Tim Seymour.
American Express (AXP) popped 16%. The credit card company posted better-than-expected earnings and said the ability of its cardholders to pay their credit card bills could be stabilizing. - The market liked the credit card news, explains Joe Terranova.
DROPS (stocks that slid lower)
Microsoft (MSFT) dropped 3%. Investors turned a cold shoulder to Mr. Softee after Intel cited slowing computer demand for its profit plunge. - I'd sit this one out until earnings are released, says Joe Terranova.
Burger King (BKC) dropped 22%. The burger chain reported worse than expected third-quarter sales. - Most of their rivals are performing, reminds Pete Najarian. That's no good.
Rio Tinto (RTP) popped 4%. The mining company said it sees signs of recovery in copper going forward.
Exxon Mobil (XOM) dropped 3%. Analysts expect this and other energy companies to post weak earnings due to low crude prices.
