What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the second quarter (2025) earnings season got off to a strong start. 

Quarterly earnings reports released during the week exceeded Wall Street's expectations, fueling investor confidence. Around 50 S&P 500 components reported, with 88% of those exceeding analysts' expectations, FactSet data revealed. Investors were also encouraged by several positive reports that painted a picture of a resilient consumer. One key report revealed that shoppers increased their spending at U.S. retailers more than economists had anticipated. Precisely, retail sales increased 0.6% from May, surpassing the 0.2% estimate. This robust consumer spending is a crucial pillar supporting the economy. Adding to the positive sentiment, the latest data on unemployment claims showed a decrease in the number of workers applying for benefits, signaling that layoffs remain limited and the job market is steady. This combination of strong earnings reports, retail sales, and a solid labor market suggests the economy is navigating challenges successfully.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Zooming In On TPI Composites (TPIC)

TPI Composites’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 110 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for TPI Composites and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock gained 3.3% as stock experienced a technical rebound following a period of significant selling pressure spurred by recent analyst downgrades. The wind blade manufacturer's stock has been under considerable strain, falling after a TD Cowen downgrade to "Hold" from "Buy" on July 8, which cited concerns over the company's debt load and policy risks. Analysts have highlighted the potential phasing out of key Production Tax Credits after 2027 as a significant future challenge for the company. The stock's morning gains appear to be a relief rally after the sharp decline. Adding to this perspective, data indicates that short interest in TPI Composites has recently seen a decrease, suggesting a slight improvement in investor sentiment. While recent analyst ratings have been cautious, some acknowledge that the company has secured production volumes through 2025, which is expected to provide some near-term stability.

TPI Composites is down 50.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $0.89 per share, it is trading 81.8% below its 52-week high of $4.92 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of TPI Composites’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $32.35.
