After-Hours Stock Movers: LEVI, AZZ, AP
After-Hours Stock Movers:
Levi Strauss & Co. (NYSE: LEVI)
Levi Strauss fell 5% despite reporting a solid Q2 beat, posting an EPS of $0.28 ($0.04 above expectations) on revenue of $1.56 billion. While the denim maker raised its full-year net revenue growth outlook to a healthy 7.0%–7.5%, investors seemed disappointed that its full-year 2026 EPS guidance was merely reiterated at $1.46–$1.52. The mid-point of that range ($1.49) sits slightly below the $1.51 Wall Street consensus, triggering some profit-taking.
AZZ, Inc. (NYSE: AZZ)
AZZ jumped 9% after delivering a strong "beat and raise" fiscal Q1 report. The metal coating and infrastructure solutions provider reported an EPS of $1.85, beating estimates by $0.16, on revenues of $448.5 million. Management also raised its full-year fiscal 2027 guidance, now projecting revenue of up to $1.85 billion and EPS of $6.75–$7.15, safely outstripping Wall Street’s prior expectations due to robust industrial demand.
Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP)
Ampco-Pittsburgh climbed 10% following a highly bullish mid-year business update. The specialty metals manufacturer revealed that customer order activity for the first six months of 2026 reached approximately $268 million—a massive 32% surge compared to the $204 million booked during the same period last year. The heavy influx of new orders signals broad manufacturing demand and significantly strengthens the company's forward production backlog.
