Railroad Operator CSX Rises on Earnings Beat
Shares of CSX Corporation jumped approximately 2% in after-hours trading Thursday after the railroad company reported quarterly results that reportedly exceeded analyst expectations. According to the analysis by LSEG, CSX posted adjusted earnings of 44 cents per share on revenue of $3.59 billion for its third quarter, slightly beating expectations of 42 cents per share on $3.58 billion in revenue. The report states that despite this performance, declining coal prices and merchandise volume contributed to slightly lower revenue during the period.

Interactive Brokers Falls Despite Strong Results
Interactive Brokers Group saw its stock decline nearly 3% in extended trading despite reporting better-than-expected quarterly results. Sources indicate the global electronic broker posted adjusted earnings of 57 cents per share, exceeding the 54 cents per share analysts had forecast, according to LSEG. The company’s revenue of $1.61 billion also reportedly surpassed expectations of $1.52 billion. Analysts suggest the decline occurred even as the company reported a 21% jump in net interest income to $967 million USD, driven by stronger securities lending and higher average customer margin loans and credit balances.
Oracle Declines After Long-Term Outlook
Shares of Oracle Corporation fell 2.4% in after-hours trading after the cloud infrastructure provider presented its long-term financial outlook to analysts. The report states that Oracle expects its revenue will rise at a 31% compound annual growth rate over the next five years. This decline came despite the company’s 3% gain during Thursday’s regular trading session and announcements made at its AI World conference in Las Vegas, where Oracle reportedly said its core database and data platform business will grow and announced a cloud computing deal with Meta. The development follows other significant tech sector moves, including Mozilla’s recent launch of its free Firefox VPN beta and ongoing Supreme Court considerations regarding ISP liability in copyright cases.

Regional Bank and Drugmakers See Pressure
Bank OZK shares fell 3% after the regional bank reported disappointing third-quarter earnings. According to the analysis, the bank earned $1.59 per share, short of the $1.66 per share expected by analysts polled by FactSet. This extended the bank’s nearly 7% decline during Thursday’s regular trading session, which saw several financial stocks decline amid worries about bad loans.
Obesity drugmakers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly also moved lower in extended trading following comments from former President Donald Trump during a briefing on fertility treatments. Sources indicate Trump suggested that the cost of obesity drugs would be “much lower,” though Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, reportedly said the price of GLP-1 medications had not been negotiated by the administration yet. Shares of Novo Nordisk, maker of Wegovy and Ozempic, fell 3%, while Eli Lilly, which produces Mounjaro and Zepbound, declined 2%. These developments come amid broader international economic discussions, including India’s questioning of Trump’s claims about Modi halting rupee conversion and the UK economy showing modest growth in its latest GDP report.
Market Context and Broader Implications
Analysts suggest the after-hours movements reflect ongoing market sensitivity to earnings results and forward guidance, particularly in sectors facing regulatory or economic headwinds. The mixed performance across sectors indicates investors are carefully weighing current results against future expectations, with companies providing strong outlooks generally receiving more favorable treatment. The report states that financial stocks face particular scrutiny amid concerns about loan performance, while healthcare companies remain vulnerable to political and regulatory developments that could affect drug pricing and reimbursement.
