Stocks with significant after-hours moves spanned semiconductors, mining, software, industrial services and medical devices. Intel surged after a better-than-expected quarter and raised guidance, lifting peers such as AMD and Arm. MaxLinear also jumped after raising its Q2 revenue outlook well above consensus. Newmont advanced after strong results and a new $6 billion buyback program. AppFolio, Comfort Systems USA and Edwards Lifesciences all rose on better-than-expected results or guidance, while Coursera fell after issuing softer revenue guidance.

Key Points

  • Intel reported Q1 revenue of $13.6 billion, up 7% year-over-year, and issued Q2 revenue guidance of $13.8 billion to $14.8 billion versus a $13.04 billion consensus, triggering a 13% after-hours gain.
  • MaxLinear raised Q2 2026 net revenue guidance to approximately $160 million to $170 million, well above the $137 million consensus, leading to a 28% rally.
  • Newmont, AppFolio, Comfort Systems USA and Edwards Lifesciences all posted stronger-than-expected results or guidance and traded higher, while Coursera slipped after lowering its FY2026 revenue outlook.

Trading in after-hours action highlighted a mix of sector-specific responses to quarterly reports and forward guidance. Technology names led some of the largest moves, with several other companies across mining, software, industrial services and medical devices registering notable gains or losses.

Intel (INTC) was the standout, climbing 13% after reporting first-quarter revenue of $13.6 billion, up 7% year-over-year, and providing second-quarter revenue guidance of $13.8 billion to $14.8 billion compared with the consensus of $13.04 billion. The company’s combination of stronger sales and an above-consensus outlook prompted investor buying in the after-hours session.

AMD (AMD) and Arm Holdings (ARM) traded higher in the wake of Intel’s results, moving in sympathy with the chipmaker’s upward surprise and outlook.

MaxLinear (MXL) jumped 28% after issuing Q2 revenue guidance well ahead of estimates. The company expects net revenue in the second quarter of 2026 to be approximately $160 million to $170 million, versus the $137 million consensus.

Newmont (NEM) rose 1.5% after reporting a strong quarter and announcing a new $6 billion buyback plan. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $3.2 billion, or $2.90 per diluted share, compared with $2.8 billion, or $2.52 per diluted share in the prior quarter.

AppFolio (APPF) advanced 4% after a solid quarterly print. The company reported Q1 EPS of $1.61, beating analysts’ estimate of $1.47 by $0.14, and revenue of $262 million versus the consensus estimate of $258.08 million.

Comfort Systems USA (FIX) gained 5% after delivering stronger-than-expected revenue for the quarter, reporting $2.87 billion versus the consensus estimate of $2.38 billion.

Edwards Lifesciences (EW) climbed 5% after beating estimates and issuing robust guidance. Edwards Lifesciences projects Q2 2026 revenue of $1.66 billion to $1.74 billion, compared with the consensus of $1.683 billion.

On the downside, Coursera Inc. (COUR) fell 11% after offering revenue guidance for fiscal 2026 that came in below market expectations. Coursera sees FY2026 revenue of $805 million to $815 million, versus the consensus of $812.6 million.


Sector implications - The after-hours moves reinforced activity across several market segments: semiconductors and broader technology reacted to Intel’s results and guidance; communications chipmakers moved after MaxLinear’s strong outlook; mining stocks reacted to Newmont’s earnings and capital-return plan; software and services names such as AppFolio and Coursera shifted on earnings and guidance; industrial services and medical-device stocks also registered meaningful reactions.

Investors continue to focus on quarter-to-quarter revenue momentum and near-term guidance, which drove the most pronounced price action in these after-hours sessions.

Risks

  • Companies’ forward guidance diverged from consensus estimates, creating volatility across technology, communications, software and education-tech sectors.
  • Earnings and guidance shortfalls, as seen with Coursera, can produce sharp negative moves in market value for individual names in the education and software sectors.
  • Reliance on quarterly guidance means investor reactions may be sensitive to even modest misses or beats, affecting short-term market performance in impacted sectors.
