Celestica reported third-quarter revenue of $5.83 billion, up 83% year over year and above the $5.48 billion analyst estimate, while adjusted EPS of $3.30 beat expectations of $2.99, reflecting 109% annual growth. The company raised its full-year revenue outlook to $21 billion from $20.5 billion and adjusted EPS guidance to $11.55 from $11.30, citing strengthening demand.
Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU)
Nu Holdings plunged 16.90% to finish at $12.59, with an intraday high of $12.78 and low of $11.62; its 52-week range is $11.20 to $18.98. In the after-hours session, the shares rose 2.2% to $12.87.
Nu Holdings shares plunged 20.6% after Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro in a runoff election by 51.8% to 48.2%, triggering a broader selloff that sent the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF down roughly 25% in premarket trading. Investors unwound bets on a Bolsonaro victory amid concerns over Brazil’s fiscal outlook, a weakening real and rising bond yields, which could pressure Nu’s dollar-denominated earnings and funding costs.
XP Inc. (NASDAQ:XP)

The steep decline followed Lula’s reelection over Flávio Bolsonaro, reversing investor expectations of a rightward political shift and intensifying the political uncertainty.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT)
Microsoft gained 1.54% to end at $532.60, trading between $521.69 and $533.25; its 52-week range is $349.20 to $553.72.
The company said roughly 60,000 employees could accept buyouts as it seeks to reduce costs and reshape its workforce for the age of artificial intelligence.
