The Five Top Stock Market Stories for Wednesday

  • European stocks jumped to a 21-month high thanks to increasing optimism that leaders will introduce stimulus or bailout packages to help beleaguered economies like Italy and Greece. On Sunday, Emmanuel Macron defeated Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election. The vote beat back the wave of populism sweeping the globe and ensures that France will remain in the European Union. Macron is considered sympathetic to the future of the European Union project and has expressed support for massive bailout packages for member nations.

Trending: Will the Stock Market Crash Soon?

    • The U.S. dollar is falling in pre-market hours as markets raised new concerns about the decision-making of President Donald Trump. Yesterday, the president sacked FBI Director James Comey in a surprise move that could send ripple effects across Washington. Markets believe that Comey's firing will be a major distraction that could affect the president's ability to get tax reform done in 2017.

Four Stocks to Watch Today: TSN, WFM, NVDA, ANF

    • In other earnings news, shares of Whole Foods Market Inc. (NYSE: WFM) are off 0.2% as the grocery giant plans to report quarterly results after the bell. Wall Street anticipates the firm will report earnings per share (EPS) of $0.37 on top of $3.72 billion in revenue. Analysts will also be zeroing in on speculation that the firm could sell itself or restructure due to pressures of an activist hedge fund.
    • Shares of Nvidia Corp.Ā (Nasdaq: NVDA) rallied more than 10% in pre-market hours after the company topped Wall Street earnings expectations after the bell Tuesday.

  • In deal news, shares of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) popped more than 12% after the company announced it is working with an investment bank to consider takeover bids from other retailers. Reuters reports that the teen retailer is considering a deal after its stock hit a 17-year low. As we've explained at Money Morning, the massive "Retail Ice Age" is affecting all bricks-and-mortar retailers, and accepting a deal is likely a much better solution for shareholders than the alternative of bankruptcy. Our Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani offers his latest insight into other retail companies that are on the verge of extinction. In addition, he'll teach you how to profit from this mega-trend.
  • Shares ofĀ Walt Disney Co.Ā (NYSE:Ā DIS) fell more than 2.5% in pre-market hours after the firm fell short of Wall Street revenue expectations. The entertainment giant reported solid numbers in its parks and film businesses; however, its ESPN franchise continues to experience a decline in subscribers as more Americans cut the cable cord or downgrade to more affordable cable packages. Ā The sports and entertainment giant also faces a wave of increasing licensing and programming costs that will likely impact its bottom line.
  • Look for additional earnings reports from SodaStream International Ltd. (Nasdaq: SODA), Ctrip.com International Ltd.Ā (Nasdaq ADR: CTRP), Sina Corp. (Nasdaq: SINA), Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC), Mylan NVĀ (Nasdaq: MYL), Wendy's Co.Ā (Nasdaq: WEN), Wolverine World Wide Inx. (NYSE: WWW), Crocs Inc. (Nasdaq: CROC), and Twenty-First Century Fox Inc.Ā (Nasdaq: FOXA).
