Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) stock fell 8.5%, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock fell 4.9%, and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock fell 2% after Snap’s results triggered a slide in other social media stocks dependent on advertising revenue.

American Express (NYSE:AXP) stock fell 4.7% after the credit card company built provisions to $778 million in the reported quarter to prepare for potential defaults, even as it said its third-quarter profit had modestly improved.

Whirlpool (NYSE:WHR) stock fell 4.8% after the household appliances manufacturer company reported weak third-quarter net sales, while its bottom line was hurt by short-term headwinds.

Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) stock rose 1.3% after the oil services provider reported a 65% jump in third-quarter profit as a surge in oil prices encouraged drilling activity.

Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR) stock rose 2.7% after Raymond James upgraded its stance on the networking products provider to ‘strong buy’ from ‘outperform’, saying it can rally 30%.

SVB Financial (NASDAQ:SIVB) stock slumped 18% after the commercial bank lowered its 2022 outlook for deposits, net interest income, and net income margin, citing a “challenging environment.”
