Earnings Wednesday: Alphabet Soars, PayPal Tumbles -- and "First on CNBC" Interviews with the CEOs of GM, AMD and Starbucks
b"Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber explored market reaction to earnings taking center stage on a busy Wednesday: Shares of Google parent Alphabet soared after it posted better-than-expected quarterly results and declared a 20-for-1 stock split, while PayPal shares tumbled after the company missed bottom line forecasts and issued a weaker-than-expected current quarter outlook. Cramer weighed in on whether investors should buy PayPal on the slump. A trio of CEOs joined the program to discuss their respective quarterly results and more: General Motors' Mary Barra on ramping up electric vehicle production as part of her company's growth strategy, AMD's Lisa Su on strong data center chip demand and the company's planned acquisition of Xilinx, and Starbucks' Kevin Johnson on high costs impacting the coffee chain's bottom line and outlook -- as well as challenges related to the omicron outbreak and employees pushing to unionize."
