Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading.
Virgin Galactic — Shares of the space tourism stock slipped more than 5% after Goldman initiated coverage on the company with a neutral rating. The firm is the only one on the Street to have less than a buy-equivalent rating on the stock. Goldman said the company’s “long-term upside potential could be substantial,” but noted that question marks remain.
Mattel — Mattel shares rallied more than 12% after the toy maker reported quarterly results that beat analyst expectations. The company posted earnings of 95 cents per share on revenue of $1.63 billion. Analysts had forecast a profit of 39 cents per share on revenue of $1.46 billion, according to Refinitiv. The strong results were driven in part by better-than-expected sales from the company’s dolls segment. Mattel also expects holiday season sales to grow.
Snap — Shares of the social media company jumped another 8% as the stock continues to climb following Snap’s third quarter results, which beat analyst estimates on the top and bottom line. The stock is on pace for its best week on record, with shares up more than 50% for the week.
Shake Shack — Shares of the restaurant chain gained more than 3% after Oppenheimer initiated coverage on the stock with an outperform rating. “We believe SHAK holds unique optionality as its strong unit economics drive the industry’s best unit growth story,” the firm said in a note to clients.
Intel — Shares of the chipmaker lost more than 11% after Intel reported weaker-than-expected revenue for its data center unit during the third quarter. The company also reaffirmed the delay of its next generation chips. Intel’s overall earnings and revenue results were roughly in line with projections.
Boston Beer Company — Shares of the beverage company jumped more than 15% to a new all-time high following Boston Beer’s third quarter results.

Cleveland-Cliffs — Shares of the iron ore producer jumped 6% after the company beat earnings estimates for the third quarter. “As we continue to fulfill orders for our automotive customers at a remarkably healthy pace, with our facilities back to normalized operating rates and with current pricing, we would expect further sequential improvement in our adjusted EBITDA performance in Q4,” CEO Lourenco Goncalves said in a statement.
Snowflake – Shares of Snowflake fell more than 5% to below $280 apiece amid a broad sell-off in technology shares on Friday.

Fastly – Shares of Fastly dropped nearly 5% after Piper Sandler downgraded the cloud computing services provider to an underweight rating from neutral.
