Shares of fashion conglomerate PVH (NYSE:PVH)
fell 11.8% in the afternoon session after the company's weak earnings guidance for the upcoming quarter overshadowed its third-quarter revenue and profit beat. The Calvin Klein parent company's third-quarter revenue of $2.29 billion was in line with analyst expectations, while its adjusted earnings per share of $2.83 beat estimates. However, investors focused on the negatives. The adjusted profit was still down from $3.03 in the same quarter last year. More significantly, the company's earnings per share guidance for the next quarter and its constant currency revenue both fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. The results were described as a "softer quarter," contributing to the negative investor sentiment that sent the stock sharply lower.

Shares of cloud data platform provider Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) fell 11.3% in the afternoon session after the company's forward-looking guidance for the fourth quarter disappointed investors, even though its third-quarter results beat expectations. While Snowflake reported third-quarter revenue of $1.21 billion and an adjusted profit of $0.35 per share, both surpassing Wall Street's estimates, the positive news was overshadowed by its forecast. The company guided for fourth-quarter product revenue with a midpoint of $1.20 billion. This projection signaled a continued slowdown in growth, representing a deceleration from the 28.7% year-over-year revenue growth rate reported for the third quarter. The softer-than-expected outlook for future growth was the primary reason for the negative market reaction.
