Which Stocks Are Sliding After Earnings Today?

Five stocks head today's ranking of earnings-linked declines, ordered by how far each one fell. Percentages are measured against each company's previous close, and several of those prior closes are implied by the move instead of being sourced separately, which leaves the bases uneven.

Alphatec Holdings (NASDAQ:ATEC) is off 34.04% at $7.50. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has sunk 28.91% to $65.46, Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) has lost 25.44% to reach $96.63, Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) has given up 22.05% and trades at $188.55, and Bright Horizons Family Solutions (NYSE:BFAM) has shed 16.58% to $55.88.

Most of these companies posted growth or stronger adjusted profit, but the market reacted to softer outlooks, traffic figures or one-time charges. Links between each report and the price move come from the companies' own statements rather than from separate coverage of the reaction.

1. Alphatec Holdings: why did shares sink 34% despite higher EBITDA guidance?

Alphatec's shares dropped 34.04% to $7.50 following third-quarter results on October 29, 2026. Revenue grew 13% to $221 million, yet management characterized that as below expectations, primarily because Biologics attachment was weaker.

Projected full-year revenue now sits near $862 million, versus roughly $890 million in the February outlook. Free Cash Flow guidance was pared to about $10 million from a prior floor of at least $20 million, whereas adjusted EBITDA guidance moved up to around $137 million.

This spine-focused medical device maker produced adjusted EBITDA of $38 million and a GAAP net loss of $5 million. A data-provider 52-week range of $6.82 to $23.29 may no longer reflect current conditions.

2. Intel: how heavily did the fourth-quarter outlook weigh on the stock?

Intel stock is down 28.91% at $65.46, implying a prior close near $92. The company released third-quarter results on October 29, showing revenue up 21% to $16.5 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $0.52 per share.

Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, Intel expects revenue of $15.0 billion to $16.0 billion and a non-GAAP gross Margin of 38.0%, compared with 44.1% in the third quarter. The guidance points to non-GAAP earnings of $0.25 per share.

Data Center and AI sales jumped 78% to $7.3 billion, client computing dropped 5% to $8.1 billion, and Intel Foundry recorded a $1.1 billion loss. Intel also described a multiyear Xeon Partnership with Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and expects weak PC Demand to continue at least through the first half of next year.

3. Reddit: how did a search traffic warning outweigh a 53% revenue jump?

Reddit shares have fallen 25.44% to $96.63, from an implied prior close near $129.60, after third-quarter results on October 29. Sales climbed 53% to $895 million and Net Income advanced 74% to $283 million, but management flagged that search referrals dropped by more than 1 million per week on average during October.

Should that pattern persist, daily active uniques might fall by a low-double-digit percentage during the fourth quarter, starting from roughly 130 million. U.S. daily users have already dropped 2%.

Guidance for fourth-quarter revenue stands at $1.00 billion to $1.03 billion. The causal tie to the warning is an inference drawn from the company's report, and one data page displayed a different move.

4. Twilio: why are shares lower even though the full-year free cash flow outlook went up?

Twilio's stock is down 22.05% at $188.55 after third-quarter results on October 29. Revenue reached $1.56 billion, up 20%, and organic revenue advanced 16%. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.65, compared with $1.25 a year earlier.

A fourth-quarter revenue range of $1.595 billion to $1.605 billion translates into organic growth of only 11% to 12%, a slowdown from 16%. Non-GAAP EPS guidance for the fourth quarter, $1.48 to $1.53, is also lower than the third-quarter figure.

Even so, the company raised its full-year free cash flow forecast to $1.19 billion to $1.20 billion. Pre-report valuation figures put the Market Value near $39 billion, and the decline is an inference from the guidance numbers, not from analyst commentary.

5. Bright Horizons Family Solutions: how a $290 million Impairment hit the shares

Bright Horizons is down 16.58% at $55.88, from an implied prior close near $67, following third-quarter results. A Goodwill impairment of $290.0 million, largely connected to Australia, generated a net loss of $230.7 million, or $4.76 per share.

Excluding the charge, revenue advanced 5% to $841.5 million and adjusted diluted EPS grew 15% to $1.80. For 2026 the company now projects adjusted EPS of $4.98 to $5.03 and revenue of about $3.07 billion, both below its July ranges.

The child care operator, which runs roughly 1,000 centers, has repurchased about 7.7 million shares this year for $557.7 million. The current price is under a $57.63 low dating from late July, a figure that may be out of date.

Post-Earnings Slide Scorecard: Mean Drop, Spread and Price Contrast

The five declines average 25.40% (calculated). The difference between Alphatec and Bright Horizons is 17.46 percentage points (calculated). Prior closes for several names are implied, so the bases diverge.

Intel's implied per-share decline of about $26.54 (calculated, from a prior close near $92) is narrower than Reddit's approximately $32.97 (calculated, from a prior close near $129.60), despite Intel's larger percentage drop. Twilio's $188.55 price equals roughly 25 times Alphatec's $7.50 (calculated).

Every one of the five reported higher revenue or adjusted earnings. The selloffs stem from a sales shortfall plus a lower outlook at Alphatec, a softer fourth-quarter guide at Intel and Twilio, a traffic caution at Reddit, and an impairment accompanied by reduced guidance at Bright Horizons.

What to Watch Next: Fourth-Quarter Checkpoints and Tests for Each Guidance Call

The reviewed material lists no dated next report for any of the five, so fourth-quarter releases serve as the next checkpoints. Investors in Alphatec will track biologics attachment, Intel will be tested against its 38.0% gross margin target, and Reddit needs its search referral losses to ease while logged-in trials run outside the U.S.

Twilio's release will show whether organic growth holds near 11% to 12%, and Bright Horizons will be measured against its revised guidance and the pace of center closures. Reddit's test of a mainly logged-in experience in chosen markets outside the U.S. begins in the fourth quarter, offering one dated operating milestone to follow.
