Stocks rise for the fourth consecutive session as tech rally leads gains

While tech was the best-performing sector ETF, the rally was broad-based, with all sector ETFs rising higher except for healthcare.

All major US indexes rose ahead of tomorrow’s holiday. While tech was the best-performing sector ETF, the rally was broad-based, with every sector ETF gaining except for healthcare. The Google versus OpenAI split in the AI trade continued, but in a reversal of recent trends, stocks linked to OpenAI rallied, with Nvidia, CoreWeave, Oracle, and Advanced Micro Devices all gaining. Meanwhile, Alphabet was modestly lower.

Stocks that moved higher:

Robinhood was the best-performing stock in the S&P 500, rising after the brokerage announced yesterday a joint venture with Susquehanna to enhance its prediction markets business. (Robinhood Markets Inc. is the parent company of Sherwood Media, an independently operated media company subject to certain legal and regulatory restrictions. I own Robinhood stock as part of my compensation.)
Dell was the benchmark index’s third-best performer after reporting upbeat Q4 guidance in yesterday’s Q3 earnings call.
Shares of Beyond Meat skyrocketed on heavy call activity and little news.
Netflix climbed ahead of tonight’s “Stranger Things” streaming premiere amid reports that it’s ramping up its efforts to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.
Urban Outfitters soared after posting strong Q3 earnings, with revenue 3% ahead of expectations and adjusted earnings per share beating by 7%. Other retailers, like Kohl’s, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Best Buy, continued their rise, and Burlington Stores reversed yesterday’s slump. Macy’s also popped on the back of the strong results from peers.

Stocks that moved lower:

Deere was one of the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500 as a sales and profit beat weren’t enough to stem investors’ tariff unease after the company dropped its fourth-quarter earnings report.
HP slumped after the computer and printer giant announced weaker-than-expected guidance for fiscal 2026 alongside plans for a roughly 10% cut to its workforce.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).
Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
