Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading. Tesla — Shares fell 5.6% after an internal memo said the electric vehicle maker is planning to lay off more than 10% of its global workforce . “As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and increasing productivity,” CEO Elon Musk said in the memo. Tesla had almost 141,000 employees as of December 2023. Goldman Sachs — Shares climbed 2.9% after the investment bank beat Wall Street’s first-quarter earnings expectations , reporting a 28% jump in profit to $4.13 billion from the year-earlier period due to a rebound in capital market activities. Goldman posted earnings of $11.58 per share on revenue of $14.21 billion for the period, while analysts surveyed by LSEG had called for earnings of $8.56 per share on revenue of $12.92 billion. Logitech — Shares dropped 6.4% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the computer peripherals stock to underweight, saying the market is “mis-pricing” the company’s “future growth algorithm.” Analyst Erik Woodring forecast only 3% annual revenue growth through fiscal 2027, which is below consensus. Salesforce — The customer relations management software stock shed 7.3%, becoming the biggest loser in the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average, after The Wall Street Journal reported the company is in advanced talks to acquire data-management software provider Informatica . Masimo — Shares added 0.1% after getting an upgrade to buy from hold at Stifel. The firm sees a return to high-single-digit growth and a steady margin expansion trajectory for the health technology company. Reddit — Shares dropped 5.4% after Wall Street firms initiated coverage of the stock following its public debut last month. Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of the social media platform at equal weight, saying shares are already trading at fair value. JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs each gave Reddit a neutral rating. Others were more bullish on the stock. Deutsche Bank called Reddit a buy, while Raymond James said the social media stock is a strong buy.

Trump Media & Technology Group — Shares of Trump Media plunged 18.4% after the company filed to issue up to 21.5 million shares.

Coupang — The South Korea-based e-commerce company climbed 1.9% following an upgrade to buy from neutral at Citi. The bank thinks there is still room for Coupang’s margins to expand as the firm raises its subscription fees, anticipating little customer pushback due to its strong delivery service. Snap One , Resideo Technologies — Snap One shares jumped 29.5% after the provider of smart living products said it will be acquired by Resideo Technologies , a home automation company, in a deal worth roughly $1.4 billion, or $10.75 per share in cash. Resideo fell 3.5%. Charles Schwab — The online brokerage and money manager added 1.7% after posting mixed first-quarter results.
