Measurement equipment distributor Transcat (NASDAQ:TRNS) beat Wall Street’s revenue expectations in Q3 CY2025, with sales up 21.3% year on year to $82.27 million. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.44 per share was 9.1% below analysts’ consensus estimates.
Shares of EV charging infrastructure provider Blink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK)
fell 7.4% in the afternoon session after investor concerns about the company's financial health appeared to overshadow a new product announcement. The company announced the launch of its Shasta line of Level 2 electric vehicle chargers, which were designed for multifamily and fleet applications. Despite this positive development, reports highlighted the company’s financial struggles. Over the previous twelve months, Blink Charging's revenue had declined by 33.7%, and it recorded a deeply negative operating margin of -82.3%. These figures pointed to significant underlying business challenges, which likely outweighed the optimism from the new product line and contributed to the stock's decline.
Shares of digital medical services platform Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC) fell 6% in the afternoon session after analyst forecasts pointed to a significant slowdown in the company's future growth compared to the broader industry. Analysts watching the company estimated its growth at only 2.2% per year over the next three years. In contrast, the rest of the healthcare technology industry was projected to expand by a much more attractive 12% annually. This large gap in expected performance likely made investors uncomfortable, as it suggested Teladoc could be facing a less prosperous future than its peers.
Shares of cloud computing and online retail behemoth Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)

This marked OpenAI's first major cloud collaboration outside of Microsoft and was seen as a significant win for Amazon's cloud division. The news came on the heels of a strong third-quarter financial report, where AWS had already shown impressive growth with sales up 20% year-over-year to $33 billion. The combination of the new, massive contract and recent strong performance fueled investor optimism, adding nearly $140 billion to Amazon's market value.
Shares of casual restaurant chain Noodles & Company (NASDAQ:NDLS)
jumped 4.3% in the afternoon session after the company announced a holiday marketing campaign aimed at boosting sales by positioning its meals as an alternative to pizza for seasonal gatherings.

To attract customers for office parties and family events, Noodles & Company rolled out several promotions. These included discounts on catering pans and larger catering orders.

This anticipated growth was fueled by a robust increase in active customers and a broad shift from traditional money transfer services to digital platforms. The company's new U.S. business, which was launched in the second quarter of 2025, was also expected to have been a key growth engine, boosting average transaction sizes and customer value.
