U.S. stock futures were mostly higher Friday morning, with Nasdaq futures climbing around 100 points. But not every company was enjoying the positive momentum.
Domo Inc. (DOMO) took the hardest hit among notable pre-market movers, with shares plunging 14.2% to $9.93. The business intelligence software company actually beat Wall Street's expectations for the third quarter, reporting earnings of 1 cent per share versus the consensus estimate of a 5-cent loss. Revenue also came in ahead of forecasts at $79.400 million, topping the $78.967 million analysts expected.
So what went wrong? The problem wasn't what happened last quarter—it was what Domo said about the current quarter. The company's fourth-quarter sales guidance, with its midpoint falling below analyst estimates, sent investors heading for the exits.
The Biggest Losers
Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings Inc. (SPWH) suffered the steepest decline of the morning, tumbling 18.8% to $1.99 after releasing its third-quarter results. The outdoor sporting goods retailer's report clearly disappointed investors.
Argan Inc. (AGX) dropped 11.6% to $315.00 in pre-market action after posting worse-than-expected third-quarter sales results. Missing revenue targets rarely goes unpunished in this market.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (HPE) shares fell 9.2% to $20.80 following mixed fourth-quarter financial results. The enterprise technology company also issued weak first-quarter sales guidance, giving investors little reason for optimism about the near-term outlook.
More Notable Decliners
SentinelOne Inc. (S) declined 8% to $15.61 after reporting third-quarter results and narrowing its fiscal 2026 sales guidance below what analysts were expecting. The cybersecurity company apparently couldn't provide enough confidence about future growth.
SoFi Technologies Inc. (SOFI) fell 7.5% to $27.39 as the fintech company announced pricing of a public offering of common stock. Equity offerings tend to create downward pressure as they dilute existing shareholders.
Oklo Inc. (OKLO) dropped 6.6% to $104.30 after entering into an equity distribution agreement to offer up to $1.5 billion of common stock. That's a substantial amount of potential dilution for investors to digest.
Docusign Inc. (DOCU) fell 5.5% to $67.21 following its third-quarter results. The e-signature platform's report apparently didn't impress traders.
Parsons Corp. (PSN) declined 5.3% to $80.00 in pre-market trading, while Chatham Lodging Trust (CLDT) fell 4.3% to $6.24.
The common thread across many of these decliners? Earnings season can be brutal when companies miss expectations or issue disappointing guidance, even if recent results look solid on paper. Forward-looking statements often matter more than backward-looking results.
