MicroStockHub/iStock via Getty Images Earnings Update: Tech and Travel Rise While Fast Food Signals Caution The tech sector saw explosive moves last week as AMD ( AMD ) surged 18% following a massive revenue beat and aggressive AI guidance from CEO Lisa Su. 1 Palantir ( PLTR ) also trended higher, rising roughly 3% as its US commercial growth and AI platform adoption exceeded analyst expectations. 2 These results suggest that while the AI trade is becoming more selective, infrastructure and software leaders with clear monetization paths continue to command a premium. Consumer-facing companies offered a more cautious narrative. Disney ( DIS ) kicked things off with its Q1 2026 report on Tuesday. After the report the stock jumped 7% on the strength of its streaming turnaround and resilient theme park demand. 3 In contrast, the restaurant space showed a stark divergence; McDonald's ( MCD ) managed a slight EPS beat while noting a "cautious" low-income consumer 4 , whereas Shake Shack ( SHAK ) plummeted 30% due to shrinking margins. 5 The travel and leisure space remains a bright spot, with Marriott ( MAR ) posting a robust earnings beat driven by a 12% increase in gross revenue and strong global booking trends. Airbnb ( ABNB ) also had a strong showing, topping revenue forecasts and raising its full-year outlook as global travel momentum drove a 19% increase in gross booking value. Ride-share results were also mostly positive. Uber ( UBER ) surged 9% after shattering expectations with record gross bookings of $53.7 billion and a 44% jump in earnings per share, signaling massive operating leverage despite a slight revenue miss due to strategic price cuts. 6 Lyft ( LYFT ) posted a mixed quarter with a revenue beat but an earnings miss, yet shares rose nearly 1.5% as investors focused on its robust $1.1 billion free cash flow and strong demand growth. 7 Including the 126 S&P 500 companies that reported last week, EPS growth stands at 27.7% for Q1 2026, up from 27.1% in ...
