Dollar Tree is searching for a new chief executive after Rick Dreiling stepped down from the position, citing health challenges. He had joined the discount retailer in January 2023 from rival Dollar General aiming to turn around the company's slowing sales. Michael Creedon was named interim CEO. He has been the discount retailer's chief operating officer since October 2022 and was previously an executive at U.S. Auto Parts. Shares rise 5.6%, to $70.56, in after-hours trading.
Palantir Technologies raised its full-year outlook and posted higher-than-expected sales in the third quarter, buoyed by demand for artificial-intelligence products. The AI software company now expects revenue of $2.81 billion, up from about $2.75 billion. It posted revenue of $726 million, up 30% from last year and ahead of analysts' expectations. Shares rise 13%, to $46.67, in post-market trading.
Jeld-Wen Holding swung to a loss and logged lower revenue in the third quarter due to deteriorating market conditions. The building-products manufacturer posted a loss of $74.4 million, compared with a profit of $43.8 million last year. Revenue fell 13% to $934.7 million and missed the $990.6 million that analysts polled by FactSet expected. Chief Executive William Christensen said market conditions are continuing to deteriorate, and are set to have a significant impact on the company's near-term volume/mix. Shares tumble 22%, to $11.05, in after-hours trading.
