Furthermore, General Electric Company (NYSE:GE) is also expected to face inflationary pressures; these factors can place the full-year EPS guidance at risk. Although the company reiterated the outlook provided in January under the current global trend, General Electric Company (NYSE:GE) is anticipated to hit the lower end of the range.

Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE:UHS) reported an adjusted EPS of $2.15, missing the analysts’ forecast of $2.47. Universal Health Services, Inc.

7. Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) has crashed 4.74% as of 12:10 PM ET after the company reported that it anticipates lower than expected profits this year due to a “messy” combination of assets following the closure of the merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery on April 8. The outcome of “unexpected projects” and disappointing operating profit and cash flow results for Q1 2022 was a major reason that led to the new guidance. One of the “unexpected projects” could be CNN+ as the CEO David Zaslav decided to close the streaming service only after a month of its launch. Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) stock is currently trading at its lowest level since April 8.

The extended lockdowns are causing supply chain concerns and also putting a dent in demand.
