fell 3.3% in the morning session on continued negative momentum after BTIG downgraded the stock to Sell from a Neutral rating. The investment firm set a price target of $25 per share. The analyst noted that the stock, which had doubled in value over the past year, had an overenthusiastic valuation that did not accurately reflect the necessary improvements needed in Unity's core business. This downgrade occurred ahead of the company's upcoming earnings report on August 6th, which led investors to reassess their positions.
Shares of electronic components manufacturer CTS Corporation (NYSE:CTS) jumped 4.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter financial results that surpassed analyst expectations for both revenue and earnings per share. The company reported second-quarter sales of $135.3 million, a 4% increase year-over-year, which beat analyst estimates of around $132.7 million. Earnings per share (EPS) also came in strong at $0.62, significantly higher than the $0.48 reported in the same quarter last year and comfortably ahead of the consensus estimate of $0.55. This growth was driven by a 13% increase in sales to diversified end markets, which successfully offset a 6% decline in the transportation sector. Net income rose to $19 million from $15 million in the prior year. To cap off the positive report, CTS maintained its full-year 2025 guidance, projecting sales between $520 million and $550 million and adjusted EPS in the range of $2.20 to $2.35.
Shares of specialized talent solutions company Robert Half (NYSE:RHI) fell 7.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter results that beat estimates but provided a weaker-than-expected outlook for the third quarter. The staffing and consulting firm projected third-quarter earnings per share between $0.37 and $0.47. The midpoint of this guidance fell approximately 26% below Wall Street expectations of $0.58, signaling that the tough hiring environment was expected to persist. While the company's second-quarter earnings of $0.41 per share and revenue of $1.37 billion slightly beat analyst estimates, this was overshadowed by the bleak outlook. The second-quarter revenue represented a 7% decline year-over-year, with the company's core Talent Solutions segment being the primary source of weakness. The disappointing forecast suggested to investors that no near-term turnaround was anticipated.
Shares of digital small business lender Live Oak Bancshares (NYSE:LOB) jumped 4.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter 2025 financial results that surpassed analyst expectations for both revenue and earnings.

This performance was driven by record loan production of $1.53 billion during the quarter. The bank's net income reached $23.4 million, with its EPS more than doubling from the first quarter. Furthermore, Live Oak's net interest income grew by 8.6%, and its net interest margin, a key indicator of bank profitability, improved. The company also reduced its provision for credit losses, signaling that concerns about loan defaults had moderated.
