Despite that, Adobe beat analysts’ predictions on both lines in its fiscal first quarter and announced a $25 billion share buyback. Ulta — The beauty retailer slipped 5% as full-year earnings expectations came in on the low end of Wall Street’s forecast. Ulta said to anticipate between $26 and $27 per share for earnings over the entire year. Most of that range is under the expectation of $27 from analysts polled by LSEG, formerly Refinitiv. That overshadowed an otherwise strong outlook for revenue and a better-than-expected fourth quarter. Cardlytics — The advertising platform soared 37% after the company reported becoming positive on adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the full year for the first time since 2019. Cardlytics also offered stronger guidance for current-quarter financials than Wall Street was anticipating.
