Snap (SNAP) crashed on weak revenue.AI-Fueled Market Rally Hits New HighsThe Nasdaq led, fueled by AI-related earnings, climbing to a two-year highs. The S&P 500 advanced modestly to a fresh record high. The Dow Jones was little changed, but near all-time peaks as well. The Russell 2000 rebounded back above key levels. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped back above key levels.Palantir Skyrockets On Commercial GrowthPalantir (PLTR) said Q4 earnings using generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, met views for a 100% gain. The data analytics firm's revenue rose 20% to $608 million, slightly topping. Government revenue rose 11% to $324 million, missing estimates. But commercial revenue rose 32% to $284 million. For 2024, Palantir guided slightly higher on revenue, led by commercial growth. Shares of the AI play skyrocketed.Arm Rockets On EarningsChip designer Arm Holdings (ARM) delivered better-than-expected December-quarter results and guidance, sending its shares up nearly 50% on the news. Arm was the latest semiconductor stock to get a boost from exposure to the red-hot artificial intelligence market. Power-chip maker Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR) also jumped on its AI-fueled fourth-quarter results and outlook. Other chip stocks rising on upbeat earnings reports included audio-chip supplier Cirrus Logic (CRUS) and tracking-chip maker Impinj (PI).

Guidance for 2024 was also promising. High points included diabetes drug Mounjaro, which brought in $2.21 billion in sales, and weight-loss drug Zepbound, which delivered more than double what analysts expected at $175.8 million in sales. Lilly also said tirzepatide, the chemical backbone behind Mounjaro and Zepbound, showed promise in treating a liver disease known by the shorthand MASH.Affirm, PayPal Fall On EarningsAffirm Holdings (AFRM) reported a smaller-than-expected loss while revenue jumped 48% to $591.1 million, the third straight quarter of accelerating growth. But shares tumbled Friday following earnings, slashing big weekly gains. PayPal (PYPL) said Q4 earnings rose 19% as revenue climbed 9% to $8 billion, both exceeding forecasts. But the digital payments giant guided low on 2024 EPS.Uber Drives HigherRide-hailing giant Uber Technologies (UBER) said Q4 earnings surged 127% to 66 cents per share, buoyed by investment gains, crushing views for 16 cents. Revenue climbed 15% to $9.9 billion, slightly topping estimates. Gross bookings grew 22% to $37.6 billion, edging past views. It may update shareholder return plans at its Feb. 14 analyst day.Snap, Pinterest Skid On Weak RevenueSnap (SNAP) reported a 43% EPS decline, though that beat views. The Snapchat parent also guided up on Q1 EBITDA. But shares crashed as Snap fell short on Q4 revenue. Pinterest (PINS) earnings nearly doubled, just topping consensus. Revenue rose 12% but missed views. Revenue guidance also was weak. PINS stock tumbled from a two-year high.Cybersecurity Results MixedCybersecurity firms topped EPS views, often easily, but some diverged on other metrics.Fortinet (FTNT) reported Q4 earnings, revenue and billings that topped analyst estimates amid lowered expectations, with EPS up 16%, revenue up 10% and billings up 8.5%.

Shares fell on results but rose for the week, right at all-time highs.Estee Lauder earnings fell 43%, the seventh straight decline but far above consensus. Net sales fell 7% to $4.28 billion, also beating. The company will cut 3%-5% of staff as part of restructuring. Shares jumped but then slashed gains.

Shares reversed lower.Disney Soars On Earnings, Big NewsDisney reported a 23% EPS gain, well above views. Revenue rose a fraction to $23.55 billion, just missing. Disney+ subscribers fell slightly after a price hike, but still beat views. The Dow entertainment giant raised its full-year earnings target, saying it's on track to \"meet or exceed\" its target of achieving $7.5 billion in annual savings by the end of fiscal 2024. Disney said it's buying a $1.5 billion stake in \"Fornite\" developer Epic Games, pending regulatory approval. Disney+ secured the streaming rights to \"Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.\" Also, Disney's ESPN, Fox (FOXA) and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) will launch a sports streaming service this fall. Shares surged to their best level in nearly two years.Expedia Tumbles On BookingsExpedia earnings slightly beat views, but gross bookings were a little light.

Both beat views, with growth picking up from Q3. McDonald's (MCD) EPS rose 14%, beating. Revenue climbed 9% to $6.41 billion, slightly missing as the Mideast conflict took a toll.

The maker of aerial work platforms and materials processing equipment gave so-so guidance. Terex fell on earnings, erasing modest weekly gains.Biotech Earnings DivergeBiotech earnings were a split bag as Amgen (AMGN) and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) beat fourth-quarter expectations, but Gilead Sciences (GILD) came in with light earnings and a narrow sales beat. On the flip side, Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) beat profit expectations, but sales came in light. Neurocrine guided to $2.1 billion to $2.2 billion in full-year sales of its bread-and-butter drug, Ingrezza, a treatment for tardive dyskinesia. That was slightly ahead of estimates. But Gilead's earnings guidance missed forecasts at the midpoint. For Amgen and Vertex, analysts focused on obesity and cystic fibrosis treatments, respectively. Amgen showed an increasing dose of its weight-loss drug led to 14.5% weight loss over 85 days, and Vertex said its next-generation triple-drug approach to cystic fibrosis outperformed its approved triplet, Trikafta, in two Phase 3 studies. All four biotech stocks fell for the week.Trucking Stocks Roll On EarningsArcBest (ARCB) and XPO (XPO) reported better-than-expected earnings.

Ford earnings tumbled 43% in Q4 but easily beat views. Revenue rose 4% to $46 billion, defying views for a decline. Profit from Ford's commercial vehicle and combustion vehicle segments offset steep losses from its emerging electric-vehicle unit. Ford said it will launch next-gen EVs \"only when they can be profitable.\" Toyota (TM) and Honda (HMC) also boosted their profit forecasts, thanks in part to growing demand for hybrid vehicles. All three auto stocks jumped, with Toyota soaring to a record high.In BriefCloudfare (NET) reported a 166% EPS gain while Q4 revenue climbed 32% to $362.5 million, both beating.
