What stands out
Bloomberg’s closing bell picked up a neat split: Autodesk missed the top-line forecast, Workday disappointed on a forward-sales metric and slid in after-hours, while Ulta Beauty posted upbeat results and rallied. Those three moves tell a tidy story about where risk is concentrated right now, software revenue still priced for perfection while consumer-facing retailers get credit for execution. For investors, the clip is a compact reminder that guidance and forward metrics move markets faster than headline growth rates.
