Coca-Cola, CVS Health, Ferrari, Taiwan Semi and more
Check out the companies making headlines before the bell. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing — The semiconductor foundry’s stock rose 3% after the firm posted its highest monthly revenue ever. Its January revenue soared to $401.3 billion New Taiwan dollars, up 37% from the same quarter a year ago, the firm said Tuesday in a statement. Dupont De Nemours — Shares gained 2% after the company’s fourth-quarter earnings came in better than expected. For the period, Dupont posted adjusted earnings of 46 cents per share, above the 43 cents that analysts polled by FactSet were expecting. Its revenue of $1.69 billion was in line with expectations. The company also reported upbeat full-year earnings and revenue guidance. CVS Health — The retail pharmacy chain’s stock slipped 3% after the firm maintained its 2026 revenue guidance of at least $400 billion, while analysts polled by LSEG were expecting revenue of $409.77 billion. CVS also shared full-year guidance for cash from operations of at least $9 billion. This was down from prior guidance of at least $10 billion and FactSet’s $10.59 billion consensus. However, the company’s fourth-quarter earnings and revenue beat analysts’ estimates, according to LSEG. Ferrari — U.S. shares of the luxury Italian carmaker jumped more than 8% after it reported a fourth-quarter earnings and revenue beat. Ferrari also delivered full-year 2026 earnings and revenue guidance that was in line with expectations, according to analysts surveyed by FactSet.

Coca-Cola’s adjusted revenue came in at $11.82 billion, short of the $12.03 billion expected from analysts polled by LSEG. However, the company’s adjusted earnings of 58 cents a share topped the consensus estimate by 2 cents. It is projecting organic revenue growth of 4% to 5% and comparable earnings per share growth of 7% to 8% for the full year. ON Semiconductor — The semiconductor supplier dropped nearly 5% after sales declined in its two biggest businesses. It posted fourth-quarter revenue of $1.53 billion, missing the LSEG consensus estimate of $1.54 billion.
