Wynn Resorts
Wynn Resorts saw its shares decline by 2%. The casino operator’s first-quarter adjusted earnings came in at $1.07 per share, with revenue of $1.70 billion, both lower than LSEG’s expectations, which called for $1.19 per share in earnings and $1.74 billion in revenue.

The firm also provided a strong bookings forecast for fiscal 2026, further boosting investor confidence.
Sarepta Therapeutics
On the other hand, Sarepta Therapeutics faced significant challenges, with shares plunging 23%. Despite reporting first-quarter revenue that exceeded LSEG’s forecasts, the biopharmaceutical company announced it was cutting its full-year revenue guidance due to headwinds it encountered during the quarter.
Upstart Holdings
Lastly, Upstart Holdings, an AI-driven lending marketplace, saw its stock drop 17%. Although the company beat analysts’ expectations for the first quarter, its revenue guidance for the current quarter and full year only narrowly surpassed Wall Street estimates, leading to a negative market reaction.
Conclusion
The movements in these stocks highlight the volatility that can accompany earnings reports, underscoring the importance of closely monitoring company performance and market expectations. As always, investors should remain vigilant and informed of trends as they navigate the complex landscape of after-hours trading.
