Check out the companies making the biggest moves in premarket trading: Adobe — The software giant saw shares tumble 8%. CEO Shantanu Narayen said that he would step down from his post after a successor has been named. Narayen will remain as chair of the company's board. He has been Adobe's CEO since 2007. The news overshadowed first-quarter beats on the top and bottom lines. Fertilizer stocks — Shares of fertilizer companies rose on expectations that the Strait of Hormuz disruptions will continue amid the escalating Iran war. Intrepid Potash and Nutrien both climbed 2%, while Mosaic climbed 1%. CF Industries added less than 1%. Ulta Beauty — The beauty products retailer lost 7.4% after reporting weak earnings results . For its fourth quarter, Ulta posted earnings of $8.01 per share, falling short of the $8.03 per share that analysts polled by LSEG were expecting. The retailer's revenue of $3.90 billion came out ahead of the $3.80 billion expected. Insulet — The maker of continuous glucose monitoring devices is recalling certain batches of its Omnipod 5 pods. The company said some batches have a small tear in the internal tubing that can result in patients not receiving the intended dosage of insulin.

Investors are hanging onto Additional Tier 1 bonds for fear of missing out on getting hold of them again, enabling this risky bank debt to dodge the worst of the selloff seen across financial markets since the war in Iran. AT1s have historically been ditched by money managers when markets come under severe stress. But that’s changed this time around, since the $280 billion asset class has become increasingly popular in recent years, with high yields attracting a flood of new buyers. “If you sell the AT1s I hold then you will never be able to buy them again,” said Richard Hodges , who manages Nomura Asset Management’s Global Dynamic Bond fund. He holds AT1s with high reset spreads, which tend to be more in demand and therefore less volatile. Fatima Luis , senior portfolio manager at Mirabaud Asset Management, is also holding onto AT1s. That’s “partly due to the difficulty to trade on Trump headlines and also being quite comfortable with the long term credit risk,” she said. “Bid-offer spreads would make it difficult to go back at a decent price.” Overall, that means selling pressure in AT1s has remained relatively contained since the start of the conflict in the Middle East. The perpetual securities issued by banks have barely featured among the 1,000 most-heavily traded bonds in the US dollar market since the start of the war, based on Trace data compiled by Bloomberg.

They’ve notched double-digit returns in each of the last two years — a remarkable turnaround since the wipeout of more than $17 billion in Credit Suisse bonds in 2023. Returns have been dented by the outbreak of the war. A multi-currency Bloomberg index of AT1s is down 1.6% on a US dollar-hedged basis this month. Still, they’re outperforming a gauge of global investment-grade bonds and total return losses rem...
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks have been under pressure as of late due to the growing fear that generative artificial intelligence (AI) will displace many of the most popular enterprise software providers.

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks have been under pressure as of late due to the growing fear that generative artificial intelligence (AI) will displace many of the most popular enterprise software providers. If a company provides even a hint that competition is negatively impacting its financial results, its stock could tumble double-digit percentage points in a single day. Such was the case with Zoom Communications (NASDAQ: ZM) , which disappointed analysts with its fourth-quarter earnings results. Non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) came in at $1.44 last quarter, versus expectations for $1.49. What's more, its fiscal 2027 outlook fell short of expectations by about 4.5%. Shares of this SaaS stock tumbled as much as 15% in the days following the earnings release last month. However, it may be an incredible opportunity for patient investors. Continue reading
