- Utz Brands (UTZ) agreed to be taken private in a $2.9 billion deal with Intersnack Group GmbH, giving the European snacking powerhouse its first foothold in the US market. Intersnack will acquire all of Utz’s Class A shares for $14.25 each, a premium of about 91% from the July 20 closing price. Entities controlled by the Rice and Lissette families will retain half of Utz, with Intersnack holding the other half. Utz shares rose 90% on Tuesday to trade near the offer price. The stock had tumbled over the past couple years amid concerns about pricing and waning demand in the salty snack category. The shares were trading above $14 a year ago.

- General Motors (GM) shares rise 3.5% after the automaker reported second-quarter profit that topped analysts’ estimates and boosted 2026 guidance. The Detroit automaker said Tuesday it now expects its earnings before interest and taxes of as much as $16 billion this year. The upgraded projections came after GM said it made $3.57 a share, exceeding Wall Street analysts’ consensus forecast of $3.19, after buying back more shares.

- Charles Schwab (SCHW) reported earnings that topped estimates as retail investors continued to jump in and out of the market amid volatility sparked by geopolitical uncertainty. Schwab reported a record daily average revenue trades and trading revenue also rose, with Chief Financial Officer Mike Verdeschi saying strong client engagement helped drive year-over-year revenue growth. Shares of the firm were down 2.2% at 3:13 p.m. in New York. They’ve gained 0.4% this year.

On this episode of Stock Movers:
-Equifax (EFX) shares fall after the company lowered the top end of its adjusted earnings per share forecast for the full year and lifted the bottom end of the guide. The midpoints of the new guidance for the third quarter and full fiscal year are below analyst estimates. Citi Bank analyst Arthur Truslove notes that “the guide being below consensus for 3Q26E will mean the shares move slightly negatively.”
-Danaher (DHR) shares sink. The life sciences firm gave core revenue growth guidance for the third quarter that fell short of the average analyst estimate.
-3M (MMM) shares rise. 3M Co. topped Wall Street’s profit expectations and raised its full-year outlook, a sign that the conglomerate’s slow-and-steady turnaround effort is proceeding despite broader economic volatility. The company had adjusted earnings of $2.40 a share in the second quarter, beating the $2.25 expected on average by analysts, and expects adjusted total sales growth in excess of 4.5%.
