Here are the companies Yahoo Finance is watching today.
Big moves by Snapchat (SNAP). The company is out with plans to put ads in other apps through its new Audience Network. Snap gave few details, but said it should roll out in the coming months and could help them appeal to advertisers as they struggle with user growth.
Analysts are souring on Intel (INTC). Wells Fargo has downgraded the stock to market perform, one day after Goldman Sachs kept its rating at sell. Both firms cited growing pressure on the company from AMD and other competitors. There's also risk from China's slowing economy.
U.S. regulators are saying no to Amazon (AMZN). They've stopped the company's effort to block shareholder votes that are critical of Amazon's facial recognition research. The proposals are not likely to pass at next month's annual meeting. Meantime, the Wall Street Journal says advertisers are increasingly shifting ads from Google to Amazon.
Elon Musk is explaining a controversial camera inside Tesla's (TSLA) Model 3. The camera is located above the rearview mirror. In a tweet, Musk said it's designed to monitor passengers when the cars are used as self-driving taxis. It also could help with the Sentry Mode, designed to keep the car safe against potential thieves.
A bad quarter for Samsung (005930.KS). The company is out with its latest guidance and warning that profit slid 60% year-over-year, with revenue down about 14%. That was driven in part by declining demand for memory chips, which is Samsung's biggest profit maker. But it remains optimistic about sales for its newest Galaxy phone.
