They said the toll could rise as emergency workers comb through the wreckage.

    - GameStop (GME) the largest standalone video-game retailer in the US, will focus on growing its trading card business, Chief Executive Officer Ryan Cohen said at the company’s annual shareholder meeting Thursday.

The shares dropped more than 20% on Thursday after the company announced a $1.75 billion bond sale. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including investments and potential acquisitions, the company said.

    - Oracle (ORCL) shares are up after the company projected cloud infrastructure sales will jump more than 70% in the fiscal year that began this month, boosting investor enthusiasm for the closely watched business. Oracle, long known for its database software, has been gaining in its effort to become a major player in the business of renting out computing power and storage by targeting clients focused on artificial intelligence work.

    - Lockheed Martin (LMT) shares are down after the Air Force has cut in half its request to Congress for its signature F-35s, dealing a blow to Lockheed Martin Corp., the top US defense contractor.

The proposed cut is significant because the Air Force is the largest customer for the world’s biggest weapons program.

    - JM Smucker (SJM) shares declined the most in nearly four decades after saying US tariffs increasing costs in its coffee business will hurt profit, continuing a challenging run for the biggest US packaged food producers. The company, which owns the Folgers and Cafe Bustelo coffee brands, said adjusted earnings this fiscal year will be as much as $9.50 a share. The impact of higher coffee costs and US levies reduced that forecast by roughly $1 a share, Smucker said.

    - McDonald's (MCD) shares slipped on Tuesday after Redburn Atlantic gave the burger chain its sole sell rating, saying shifting consumer patterns due to weight-loss drugs and inflation are cause for concern. Shares of McDonald’s fell as much as 1.8% to a March low on the downgrade, a two-notch cut from Redburn’s previous buy rating. Redburn held a buy rating on the stock since initiating coverage in 2023. As more Americans turn to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic to lose weight, McDonald’s could see as much as a $428 million annual impact to revenue, representing about 1% of system sales, Redburn Atlantic analysts Chris Luyckx and Edward Lewis wrote. “A 1% drag today could easily build to 10% or more over time, particularly for brands skewed toward lower-income consumers or group occasions.”

    - Steel shares such as Nucor (NUE) and Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) dropped after Bloomberg News reported that US and Mexico are closing in on a deal that would remove President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on steel imports up to a certain volume, according to people familiar with the matter, a revamp of a similar deal between the trade partners during his first term. Trump hasn’t been directly involved in the negotiations and would need to sign off on any deal. The talks are being led by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to the people, who asked not to be identified as the discussions are private. The people said the agreement hasn’t been finalized. Under its current terms, it would allow US buyers to import Mexican steel duty-free as long as they kept total shipments below a level based on historical trade volumes, according to the people. The new cap would be higher than what was allowed under a similar deal during Trump’s first term, they said, which was never a fixed figure but designed to “prevent surges.”
