Polish producer of military drones WB Electronics sees the European Union’s loans-for-weapons program as a “significant growth factor” for the company that’s considering an initial public offering. “The European defense industry has been mainly driven by the Ukrainian war in recent years and this may be shifting now,” supervisory board member Olga Wojciechowska told the Future of Finance Bloomberg forum in Warsaw. Unlocking EU funds in the so-called SAFE program will be a step change for WB Electronics, she said without specifying any details. WB Electronics, which calls itself the EU’s largest producer of unmanned combat aerial vehicles, or UCAVs, has started preparations for an IPO in Warsaw and plans a listing in late 2026 or early next year, Bloomberg News reported in February.

Bullish sentiment among individual investors was largely unchanged, while bearish views declined and neutral sentiment rose sharply, pointing to a more balanced and cautious market outlook, according to the latest survey from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII). The American Association of Individual Investors said in its survey that the bullish camp slightly edged up to 38.3% for the week ended May 6, from 38.1% in the prior week. Meanwhile, bearish sentiment fell to 33.0% from 39.7% the week before. Wall Street traded in a mixed and often shifting pattern during the week, as investors closely tracked developments around a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal, which at times lifted risk appetite and supported equities while weighing on oil prices and yields. Sentiment was also shaped by strong earnings momentum, particularly in technology and AI-related names, alongside analyst calls and continued enthusiasm around the sector’s growth outlook. At the same time, caution lingered amid signals of divergence across asset classes, concerns around inflation and interest rate expectations, and mixed global economic data, keeping markets range-bound as investors looked for clearer direction. According to AAII, neutral sentiment, or expectations that stock prices will stay essentially unchanged over the next six months, jumped to 28.7% from 22.2% last week. The survey has been conducted by the American Association of Individual Investors since 1987, in which it asks respondents for their thoughts on where the market is heading in the next six months.

Planet Fitness Crashes Most On Record After Membership Slump Hits Outlook Planet Fitness shares crashed the most on record, according to Bloomberg data going back to 2015, after the budget gym operator slashed its full-year outlook, citing weaker-than-expected new-member sign-ups during the first quarter. CEO Colleen Keating told analysts, "We faced some internal and external headwinds that impacted our join momentum year-to-date." Keating said, "Our overall performance reflects the strength and resiliency of our model. However, the addition of more than 700,000 net new members during the quarter did not meet our expectations." She continued, " Severe cold and winter weather in late January and February disrupted joins , especially as several of the storms fell on Mondays, our busiest join day of the week. We anticipated that our March campaign, Black Card first month free, which was very successful during the same time last year, would improve our join momentum over the remainder of Q1 and into Q2," adding, " Yet as we moved through March and into early April, our join trends remained below our plan ." Planet Fitness now expects 2026 sales growth of about 7%, down from prior guidance of roughly 9%. It also cut its adjusted EPS growth outlook to about 4%, well below the Bloomberg Consensus of 9.7%. Here's a snapshot of the full-year forecast, courtesy of Bloomberg: Sees club sales growth up about 1%, saw up about 4% to 5% Sees revenue up about 7%, saw about up 9% Sees adjusted EBITDA up about 6%, saw about up 10% Still sees system-wide new club openings of about 180 to 190 locations While first-quarter sales and profit beat Bloomberg Consensus estimates, traders focused on dismal membership trends. Shares crashed 32% in the early U.S. cash session. In the year, Planet Fitness shares are down nearly 60%, trading at levels last seen in Covid 2020 lows. Shares have fallen 61% since late 2025. Not one analyst questioned Planet Fitness executives on whether GLP-1 trends ...

mbbirdy/E+ via Getty Images Wall Street’s major market averages search for clear direction on Thursday following the previous session’s rally, as investors turn their focus toward any new developments surrounding a potential Middle East peace agreement. The blue chip Dow ( DJI ) was -0.14%, the benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) was +0.1%, and the tech focused Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) was +0.5%. Now, here are five news stories that broke in the morning to watch out for: Datadog shares jump on raised outlook: Shares of Datadog surged about 30% on Thursday after the cloud security platform reported first-quarter results that beat estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Revenue jumped around 32% year-over-year to approximately $1 billion, while non-GAAP EPS rose about 30% to $0.60. The company raised its full-year 2026 revenue forecast to a midpoint of $4.32 billion, up from a prior $4.08 billion midpoint and above the $4.12 billion consensus estimate. McDonald’s beats sales estimates: McDonald’s rallied on Thursday after reporting global comparable sales rose 3.8% in the first quarter, topping the 3.7% consensus estimate. In the U.S., positive check growth primarily drove results, while the company leaned into value offerings and added the high-margin Big Arch burger to its menu. Arm Holdings declines on supply concerns: Arm Holdings shares fell 10% in early trading despite reporting fiscal fourth-quarter results that topped Wall Street forecasts. Concerns about the smartphone market, which remains the British semiconductor company’s core business, weighed on the stock. While demand for Arm’s new data center CPU appears to be building quickly, particularly for agentic AI workloads, analysts noted that advanced-node wafer availability at TSMC remains a gating factor limiting near-term confidence in capturing what management sees as a potential $2 billion-plus opportunity in fiscal 2027-28.
