Shares of financial technology provider Fiserv (NYSE:FI) jumped 2.5% in the afternoon session after the stock's positive momentum continued as the company appointed a new chief financial officer to reset its course following a disappointing third-quarter earnings report. Fiserv hired Paul Todd, the former chief financial officer at rival Global Payments, to take over the job from Bob Hau.

Shares of payment solutions provider WEX (NYSE:WEX) fell 3.5% in the afternoon session after an analyst at UBS lowered the price target on the company's shares. The firm adjusted its price target to $172 from $185 but kept its rating at Neutral, signaling a more cautious view on the stock's near-term performance. This move came even as WEX reported third-quarter financial results that beat expectations. The company posted earnings per share of $4.59 on revenue of $691.8 million, surpassing forecasts. However, the positive results were overshadowed by concerns about ongoing challenges in the trucking sector, which impacted the company's Mobility segment and contributed to mixed investor sentiment.
Shares of streaming TV platform Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU)
jumped 7.3% in the afternoon session after investors focused on a strong third-quarter 2025 profit beat and an optimistic financial outlook. The streaming company reported earnings of $0.16 per share, a significant turnaround from a loss of $0.06 in the prior year's quarter and well above analyst estimates of $0.08. While revenue of $1.21 billion met expectations, the company's guidance impressed Wall Street. Roku projected fourth-quarter revenue and full-year adjusted EBITDA that both topped consensus forecasts. This optimistic outlook, along with a positive operating margin and a surge in free cash flow, appeared to outweigh initial concerns over a miss in total hours streamed, which had caused the stock to trade down after the initial announcement.
