Despite strong earnings and record sales, Carvana's stock declined slightly after the report but later surged on strong market reaction. CEO Ernie Garcia noted resilience amid rising used car prices. DraftKings Inc. (DKNG) reported first-quarter 2025 revenue of $1.41 billion, up 20% year-over-year but slightly below the $1.44 billion consensus. Adjusted EPS was $0.12, below the $0.22 estimate.
