⬆︎8.99% Centene

⬆︎8.19% Duolingo

Citizens JMP flagged a profit opportunity for the language-learning app, noting its push to direct new subscribers to the web, where fees are about 3%, instead of Apple’s App Store, which takes roughly 20%.

⬆︎8.00% Alibaba

Alibaba is raising $3.2 billion through convertible notes (loans that can turn into shares). It plans to use the cash to double down on AI, build more data centers, and push harder overseas.

LOSERS

⬇︎1.55% Delta

Premium’s hot, economy’s not. The U.S. carrier raised its Q3 revenue outlook but is finding it hard to fill seats in economy, particularly on domestic routes. To offset that, it’s leaning more on premium seats and services, which now account for more than half of its revenue. [Read more]
