The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 285 points Thursday morning after Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) slashed its guidance for the current quarter. The firm said it expects quarterly revenue to come in at $84 billion, well below the previous range of $89 billion to $93 billion. The figure also badly misses the average Wall Street estimate of $91.5 billion in revenue.

dow jones industrial averageFollowing the news, Apple shares fell over 7%, knocking $55 billion off Apple's market capitalization. There's more bad news though. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) said this morning that Apple will likely need to cut its guidance even further.

Here are the numbers from Wednesday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:

Index Previous Close Point Change Percentage Change
Dow Jones 23,346.24 18.78 0.08%
S&P 500 2,510.03 3.18 0.13%
Nasdaq 6,665.94 30.66 0.46%

Now, here's a closer look at today's Money Morning insight, the most important market events, and stocks to watch.

Money Morning Insight of the Day: This IRS Directive Could Mean Billions Are Now in Play

Everyday folks from across the country are taking advantage of an obscure IRS directive to collect what we call "Federal Rent Checks."

And by implementing a simple investment strategy, you can collect them each and every month. At this moment, Americans are adding their names to the distribution list - and you can too.

To see how you could receive $1,795 or more every month, go here now.

The Top Stock Market Stories for Thursday

  • One of the hottest ways to make big gains in 2019 is to tap into the red-hot trend of mergers and acquisitions. The mantra in today's competitive corporate world is "if you can't beat 'em... buy 'em." And that's especially apparent in the cutthroat industry of cloud computing. Today, we're unveiling our top takeover target for 2019 in the cloud computing space, and it could easily net you a triple-digit win in the months ahead. For more, go here.
  • ADP/Moody's reports that the U.S. economy added far more jobs than analysts had anticipated in December. The monthly private employment report shows that U.S. companies added 271,000 new positions for the month. That shattered consensus expectations of 178,000 new hires. Markets have been paying close attention to the jobless rate, which continues to fall despite rising interest rates and concerns about market volatility. The official December jobs report will be released by the Department of Labor tomorrow.

Stocks to Watch Today: NFLX, CELG, DB, UBS

  • Shares ofĀ Netflix Inc.Ā (NASDAQ:Ā NFLX) remain under pressure after Netflix yanked an episode of "Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj" in Saudi Arabia. The streaming giant pulled the episode - which was critical of the Saudi government and the Crown Prince over the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Netflix said that it received a legal request to pull the episode to comply with the nation's laws. Minhaj, a former correspondent on "The Daily Show" suggested that the United States should reassess its relationship with Saudi Arabia during the episode, prompting a complaint from country's Communications and Information Technology Commission. NFLX stock was off 1.5% in pre-market hours.
  • In deal news, shares of Celgene Corp.Ā (NASDAQ: CELG) rallied nearly 32% after the company received a cash-and-stock offer from Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY), worth $74 billion. CELG investors will receive one BMY share and $50 for every share of CELG stock that they own. This was a big win for CELG investors given that the stock has fallen by 37% over the last 12 months. The firm is poised to lose patent protection in 2022 for its best-selling drug Revlimid. BMY stock was off more than 12% after news of the deal.
  • Speaking of deal news, European markets are buzzing about a potential mega-merger in the financial space. Officials at Swiss-banking giant UBS Group AG (NYSE: UBS) are bending over backwards to deny that the company may need to merge with another powerful institution. This morning, the company's Chairman Axel Weber denied rumors that the firm is looking at a deal with Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB), and said that such a deal would make little sense for his organization. DB officials have also denied that any deal will take place. UBS stock was off more than 1.6% in pre-market hours.
  • Look for earnings reports from Sonic Corp.Ā (NASDAQ: SONC), UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF), Revolution Lighting Technologies Inc.Ā (NASDAQ: RVLT), and Resources Connection Inc.Ā (NASDAQ: RECN).
