The story
The Yahoo Finance live update reported a sharp decline in Klarna stock after the company reduced its guidance, while Home Depot shares moved higher. No specific revised guidance figures or forward outlook were provided in the supplied report.
The enrichment shows Klarna generated $3.5B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 24.8% year over year, but reported a -7.8% net margin and dilutive EPS of $-0.79. Home Depot reported $164.7B of revenue in fiscal 2026, up 3.2%, alongside a 33.3% gross margin, an 8.6% net margin and dilutive EPS of $14.23.
The key follow-through is whether Klarna can restore confidence in its outlook despite its losses, while Home Depot’s gain will be tested against the durability of its slower-growth but profitable operating profile. The magnitude and scope of Klarna’s guidance trim remain the central missing details.
