Benzinga2022-02-06

Here are the top 10 stock market moving headlines of the past week.

10. Alphabet Earnings And Stock Split:Technology giant Alphabet Inc(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) reported fourth quarter revenue of $75.3 billion, up 32% year-over-year. The company reported fourth quarter earnings per share of $30.69. Both totals came in ahead of street consensus estimates. Along with the earnings, the company announced a 20-for-1 stock split for all classes of shares that will happen in July 2022.

9. AMD Earnings: Advanced Micro Devices Inc(NASDAQ:AMD) reported fourth quarter revenue of $4.8 billion Tuesday. The total came in ahead of the company’s guidance and the street estimate. The company’s computing and graphics segment saw revenue hit $2.6 billion, up 32% year-over-year. AMD expects fiscal 2022 revenue to hit $21.5 billion.

8. Facebook Earnings:Now known as Meta Platforms Inc, the Facebook parent company saw its stock fall after reporting fourth quarter financial results Wednesday. The company reported fourth quarter revenue of $33.67 billion, which beat a street estimate of $33.38 billion. Meta reported 2.91 billion monthly active users for Facebook and daily active users of 1.93 billion. While daily active users rose 5% on a year-over-year basis, they came in lower than the previous quarter. A drop in DAU along with the company expecting a continued negative impact from iOS app changes by Apple Inc spooked investors.

7. Amazon Earnings:Ecommerce giant Amazon.com Inc reported fourth quarter revenue of $137.4 billion on Thursday. The total was up 9% year-over-year and came in just shy of a street consensus estimate of $137.6 billion.

3. Marijuana Banking Bill:The U.S. House of Representatives approved an amendment to an innovation and manufacturing bill that includes marijuana banking reform. The amendment was preliminarily approved on Wednesday and then approved by the House with a vote of 262-168. The Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act (SAFE) is the latest in a push to help support marijuana legalization.

2. Cryptocurrency Falls:Major cryptocurrencies fell or traded flat for the week, with Bitcoin going below $40,000 before rallying late Friday. Yields of short-term U.S. government bonds have risen on fears of inflation and potential rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.
