Here's a look at the top-moving stocks this morning. Advanced Auto Parts Inc. (NYSE: AAP) Advanced Auto Parts is down 20.86% premarket after reporting its financial results for the first quarter. Despite a 0.4% decline in comparable store sales, the company experienced a 1.3% increase in net sales, reaching $3.4 billion. Operating income for the quarter was $90.0 million, with an operating income margin of 2.6%. Tom Greco, the president and CEO, acknowledged the challenges faced during the quarter and expressed gratitude towards the Advance team members and independent partners for their dedication to customer service. He attributed the lower-than-expected operating margin to higher investments aimed at reducing competitive price gaps in the professional sales channel and an unfavorable product mix.

The company experienced pressure on unit sales in its PC and printing segments, attributed to cautious financial management by businesses and consumers post-pandemic. However, HP's cost-cutting measures implemented over the past year helped maintain margins in both divisions. HP CEO Enrique Lores credited disciplined execution and strong innovation in a challenging macro environment for delivering non-GAAP EPS at the higher end of their target for Q2. |
