Stocks on the Move: McDonald’s, Disney, Uber Lead the Charge

The midweek market spotlight is heating up, and a few big names are stepping squarely into the frame. From fast food to theme parks to ride-hailing and chips, Wall Street is lining up a fresh batch of storylines that could shape the trading session.

McDonald’s Ready to Dish Out Earnings
First up on the breakfast menu: McDonald’s. Investors will be eyeing the company’s earnings before the opening bell. Shares have cooled off recently, dipping 5% in the past three months and sitting 8% below their March peak. But with anticipation brewing around the results, the golden arches might just get their shine back.

Disney’s Magic Wand at Work
Disney’s turning heads with a near 30% rally over the past three months—and the magic isn’t over yet. The entertainment giant is due to report quarterly earnings in the morning, and expectations are running high. The stock is only 5% off its June high and continues to outperform market benchmarks. Even Jim Cramer gave it a nod earlier this year, and it’s been cruising higher ever since.

Uber Shifts Gears
Ride-hailing heavyweight Uber is also in the spotlight. The company will unveil its latest financials, followed by an appearance from CEO Dara Khosrowshahi to unpack the results. Shares have bounced nearly 5% in the past three months, though they’re still down 8.5% from a recent peak. On a longer view, Uber has raced ahead—up almost 53% year over year.

AMD’s Chip Buzz Fizzles After Hours
Advanced Micro Devices had a mixed outing. While revenue beat forecasts, earnings-per-share disappointed. Investors weren’t feeling generous—shares slid around 5% after hours. That dip comes even after the stock soared an eye-popping 73% over the last three months. CEO Lisa Su is expected to address the details in a morning interview, which could offer some clarity on what’s ahead for the chipmaker.

Palantir Rides the AI Wave
And then there’s Palantir—one of the market’s most explosive performers of the year. After an 8% surge on Tuesday, the data analytics firm is now up nearly 130% in 2025 alone. If momentum holds, Palantir might just keep dominating headlines and portfolios alike.
