Among today's biggest stock market decliners, HubSpot (HUBS) and AppLovin (APP) are the most likely candidates for a short-term technical bounce tomorrow. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The sharp drop across these companies was largely triggered by a brutal wave of post-earnings guidance cuts and structural revisions. When evaluating which names can bounce back immediately versus those that will remain suppressed, the underlying reason for the selloff dictates the timeline. [1, 2, 3, 4]
1. High Probability Rebound Candidates (Technical Bounce)
These companies suffered severe, algorithmic selloffs due to minor metrics or overextended valuations, meaning institutional dip-buyers are likely to step in. [1]
- HubSpot (NYSE: HUBS): The stock was punished severely, dropping ~19%. However, its core fundamentals remain robust. For Q2, HubSpot actually beat top and bottom-line expectations (EPS of $3.26 vs $3.02 expected). It also raised its full-year EPS guidance. The plunge happened solely because Q3 revenue guidance came in slightly soft ($924M-$925M vs $941M expected). Because it is now trading near its 52-week low and its profit margins are actually expanding, it is highly prime for an oversold bounce. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- AppLovin (NASDAQ: APP): AppLovin plummeted roughly 19.6% after missing revenue expectations ($1.92B vs $1.95B expected) and issuing soft Q3 revenue targets. Wall Street reacted aggressively with downgrades. However, its underlying AI advertising engine (AXON 2.0) is fundamentally sound. The stock is historically volatile and prone to sharp, fast short-covering rallies after severe single-day overreactions. [1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Low Probability Rebound Candidates (Sustained Downward Pressure)
Avoid expecting a fast rebound on these names. Their drops are tied to deeper structural execution problems, supply failures, or capital dilution that takes quarters to resolve.
- Honeywell Aerospace (NASDAQ: HONA): This was HONA's first standalone earnings report since spinning off from Honeywell. It was a massive failure. They significantly missed Q2 EPS ($1.87 vs $2.13 expected) and aggressively cut their 2026 organic sales growth guidance due to severe supply chain constraints. Because they are prioritizing low-margin deliveries over high-margin aftermarket sales, analysts are slashing price targets. Expect dead money here. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Celestica (CLS): Unlike a normal post-earnings drop, Celestica dropped heavily because it announced a massive $3 billion equity offering to fund AI infrastructure. Equity offerings cause direct share dilution. Investors rarely bid diluted shares back up the very next day. [1]
