Consumer companies fell amid mixed earnings.
Home-improvement giant Home Depot gave a cautious outlook for fiscal 2026, noting ongoing uncertainty about the housing market. The company expects sales to rise between 2.5% to 4.5% in fiscal 2026.
Tariffs weighed on profits for two major consumer firms.
Secondhand auto dealership AutoZone's first-quarter revenue grew but profit fell due to continued higher costs due to tariffs.
Campbell's shares slid after the producer of comfort-food staples said tariff-related price increases weighed on its ready-to-serve soup business, which include brands such as Chunky and Homestyle.
