What changed: Added Q1 earnings performance for CNH, highlighting a revenue beat and margin pressures in industrial segments.

US-listed companies reported mixed Q1 earnings results, highlighted by a significant beat from Eli Lilly, which posted earnings of $8.55 per share against a $7.06 estimate. In the industrial sector, CNH reported earnings that matched analyst expectations alongside a revenue beat, though margins for its Agriculture and Construction segments were pressured by rising costs and tariffs. Darling Ingredients also delivered a positive surprise with earnings of $0.83 per share, exceeding the expected $0.56. Conversely, Choice Hotels missed estimates, reporting $1.07 per share compared to the $1.35 anticipated by the market. These results underscore a balanced market environment where strong healthcare performance is offset by operational headwinds in the industrial and hospitality sectors.
