Shares of professional staffing firm Kforce (NYSE:KFRC) fell 5.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported fourth-quarter results that missed profit expectations, overshadowing a slight revenue beat. The company’s revenue for the quarter came in at $332 million, a 3.4% decline compared to the same period in the previous year, though this was slightly ahead of analyst expectations. The main concern for investors was the company's profitability. Kforce’s GAAP earnings per share were $0.30, a figure that fell 35.6% short of consensus estimates. This earnings miss was coupled with a significant decrease in the company's operating margin, which dropped to 2.6% from 4.5% a year earlier, pointing to ongoing profitability pressures.
Shares of digital payments platform PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) fell 19.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported fourth-quarter 2025 results that missed Wall Street's expectations for both revenue and earnings.

Its adjusted earnings per share of $1.23 also missed the consensus forecast of $1.29. While PayPal's pre-tax profit margin improved by 1.9 percentage points from the same quarter last year to 18.8%, the top- and bottom-line misses overshadowed this improvement. The report was broadly seen as weak, with the company failing to meet investor expectations and struggling to show strong momentum, leading to a significant sell-off in the stock.
