Progress Software shares dip after Q2 beat, license sales top ARR

Progress Software Corporation stock fell in after-hours Tuesday. The company topped its Q2 targets and lifted full-year profit outlook, but revenue showed more weight from one-time license sales versus recurring revenue growth. Progress finished the regular session at $33.58, down 0.8%, before the company posted earnings right after the bell at 4:01 p.m. ET. Later, Google Finance quoted the shares at $32.51 in after-hours.

AT&T shares slide as trading jumps, spectrum move puts income appeal to test

1 July 2026
AT&T Inc. tumbled Tuesday, closing off 5.13% at $20.70 after sliding to a 52-week low of $20.57. Volume spiked to 128.67 million shares, 296% of the 65-day average. The S&P 500 Index added 0.79% to finish at 7,499.36. U.S. markets traded a standard session. The NYSE’s next holiday is July 3 for Independence Day. The quick take: AT&T saw about $7.8 billion in equity value wiped out in a single day. That figure uses MarketWatch’s $1.12 drop from close to close, with 6.95 billion shares in play. It’s about a third the size of the $23 billion spectrum deal AT&T struck with EchoStar Corp.. It’s also nearly four times the $2 billion Dish DBS debt maturity that tipped EchoStar’s pay-TV

Its 2026 holiday calendar lists July 3 as the next full-day closure for Independence Day. The stock changed hands at $24.14 as of 2:50 p.m. EDT, off 23 cents from the previous close. About 32 million shares traded. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust added 0.9%. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund slipped 0.7%. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF ticked up 0.3%.
Rezolve AI surges after $300M buyback vote targets over a quarter of shares

Rezolve AI surges after $300M buyback vote targets over a quarter of shares

Rezolve AI PLC climbed around 12% Tuesday after getting shareholder signoff for a capital reduction and a share buyback of up to $300 million. The mandate stands out as big compared to the current number of shares. Nasdaq kept regular trading hours, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The exchange has market holidays scheduled for June 19 and July 3 in 2026.
JCPenney store closings push spotlight onto mall landlords

JCPenney store closings push spotlight onto mall landlords

JCPenney is shutting or set to shut at least six stores this year, according to Fast Company, which cited local news, customer reviews and the chain’s website. Stores are closing in California, Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia and Pennsylvania. It’s a small list, but could matter more for mall owners. JCPenney is shutting down its Ross Park Mall location near Pittsburgh after 40 years, with the store set to close Sept. 20. The U.S. Sun said Tuesday that closing sales have kicked off, offering 20% off everything, and some items getting marked down as much as 40%. WTAE reported, citing JCPenney, that the company couldn’t keep its lease or find another spot in the area.
Grab shares climb after market downplays impact from Indonesia fee change

Grab shares climb after market downplays impact from Indonesia fee change

Grab Holdings Limited climbed in New York on Tuesday. Investors took stock of the Indonesia driver-fee change and seemed to land on a real cost for Grab, though not as big as early reads of the rule implied. The stock was last at $3.855, up 11.5 cents, or 3.1% from the prior close, as of 12:46 p.m. EDT. Volume was 26.9 million shares. Shares moved ahead of Invesco QQQ Trust, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust over the same stretch.
Dow Jones after bell: new tech weight pushes blue-chip index above 52,000

Dow Jones live today: Two-stock lift masks weak breadth after record close

The New York Stock Exchange was in a normal Tuesday session. Its core session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, and its next full holiday close is Friday, July 3, for Independence Day observed. At about 11 a.m. EDT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was quoted near 52,276, up about 94 points, or 0.18%. The S&P 500 was up 0.48% and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.95%, with tech again doing more of the work than the blue-chip tape.
Freshworks (NASDAQ:FRSH) stock: Russell additions put buyback math back in focus

Freshworks (NASDAQ:FRSH) stock: Russell additions put buyback math back in focus

Freshworks Inc enters Tuesday’s session with a new index tag and a buyback big enough to change the per-share math if management keeps using it. The stock closed Monday at $10.21 and was quoted at $10.15 in premarket trade at 8:55 a.m. EDT, MarketScreener data showed. The NYSE holiday calendar lists the next U.S. market closure as July 3 for Independence Day observed. The tape was heavier than a normal Freshworks session. Yahoo data showed Monday volume of 52,973,675 shares against average volume of 13,964,630, about 3.8 times the usual level. That volume came as index notices from S&P Capital IQ showed additions to Russell 2000 Value and Russell 2000 Value-Defensive indexes.
SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) launch puts Sirius XM Holdings (NASDAQ:SIRI) cash flow to the test

SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) set for $8.3 billion index demand as float stays tight

Space Exploration Technologies Corp heads into Tuesday with index demand still building up around the name, while the float remains small for a stock with a $2.16 trillion market cap. Shares settled at $164.19 on Monday, rising 7.15%. They traded at $163.30 in the premarket ahead of the 9:30 a.m. ET Nasdaq open. The Nasdaq market schedule lists July 3 as the next full closure for Independence Day, with June 30 open for trading. The stock is trading 21.6% above its $135 IPO price, but still sits 27.2% under its $225.64 high. SpaceX said the IPO closed June 15 after selling 638,888,888 Class A shares, including the full overallotment, for total gross proceeds of around $85.7 billion. Shares started trading
Nokia (HEL:NOKIA) share rally may account for about 40% of Helsinki index move

Nokia (HEL:NOKIA) share rally may account for about 40% of Helsinki index move

Nokia Oyj rose 4.46% to 11.72 euros by 12:57 EEST in Helsinki on Tuesday, while the OMX Helsinki 25 was up 1.10% at 6,218.18. Nasdaq Helsinki was open for normal trading; Nasdaq lists Helsinki equity hours at 10:00-18:30 local time and does not list June 30 among 2026 Helsinki closure days. The cleaner angle is index math. OMXH25 is a 25-stock, euro-denominated, capitalization-weighted price index, and Nasdaq caps any one company at 10%. At that cap, Tuesday’s Nokia move would add about 0.45 percentage point to the benchmark, or roughly 41% of the index’s 1.10% rise. Actual live weights can differ.

Applied Materials stock jumps as AMAT rally outruns Wall Street’s average target

Applied Materials shares surge $54 billion, buyback effect now smaller

Applied Materials heads into Tuesday with a buyback issue of its own making. After shares jumped 10.82% Monday, each dollar left in its repurchase plan now has less impact on earnings per share. The chip equipment stock ended at $694.64, gaining $67.80 on the day after reaching an intraday high of $708.99. Around 14.17 million shares changed hands, which is roughly 1.7 times its 65-day average volume. MarketWatch posted an after-hours quote of $704.01 at 7:59 p.m. EDT.
Netflix Stock Gets $25 Billion Buyback Boost After Warner Bros Deal Collapse

Netflix shares underperform Nasdaq as NBCUniversal tie-up chatter fails to move premium

Netflix, Inc. lagged the tech rally on Monday. Shares finished at $73.78, off 0.04%. The Nasdaq Composite added 2.1% and the S&P 500 rose 1.2%. The spread came as traders looked to media merger chatter, with buyers chasing likely acquisition targets and betting on cable deals, but skipping over Netflix. This is worth noting as Netflix is acting more like an earnings trade than a name following the index bounce. The Nasdaq moved up 2% but Netflix stayed pinned near its low end for the year.
Snap (NYSE:SNAP) shares fall as user value comes up short against rivals

Snap (NYSE:SNAP) shares fall as user value comes up short against rivals

Snap Inc. shares fell Monday at midday, giving up gains seen across other internet and communications stocks. Investors pointed to concerns over the value of Snap’s user base and fresh regulatory risks out of Australia. The shares traded at $4.39, off 0.5%, putting the company’s market cap around $7.4 billion. Meta added 2.6%, Pinterest was up 3.8% and Reddit advanced 3.1% in the same live quotes.
Broadcom shares jump on OpenAI move, margin outlook still in focus for AVGO

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) AI revenue now over half of forecast, shares still under pressure in June

Broadcom Inc. says AI chip revenue should hit $16.0 billion in its fiscal Q3, making up about 54% of expected revenue, up from 49% in the quarter ended May 3. Still, shares have stayed weak through June, down around 20% for the month, according to Benzinga. Broadcom's split is a signal the company is shifting away from its mixed chip-software setup, pushing harder into AI custom chips. CEO Tan said, “The momentum continues,” noting Q2 AI semiconductor revenue jumped 143% to $10.8 billion. CFO Kirsten Spears told investors operating leverage held up, with adjusted EBITDA reaching 69% of revenue for Q2 and guidance just under that at 68% for Q3.

American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) climbs as jet fuel drops below cost forecast

American Airlines Group Inc. moved higher in premarket trading Wednesday, extending a streak that saw shares climb for seven straight sessions through Monday. The stock closed at $17.91, gaining over 16% in that run. Fuel is now the focus for investors. Airlines for America said the Argus US Jet Fuel Index showed U.S. jet fuel at $2.86 a gallon on June 30. American’s April outlook was based on second-quarter fuel at around $4.00 a gallon. That’s a big difference for an airline that used 1.066 billion gallons in Q1.
AT&T stock drop draws attention to spectrum deal, dividend payout

AT&T stock drop draws attention to spectrum deal, dividend payout

AT&T shares were at $20.70 before trading started in New York on Wednesday, down 5.2%. The slide wiped out roughly $7.9 billion in market value for the telecom group, going by current shares outstanding and market cap. The main NYSE session begins at 9:30 a.m. ET. AT&T holders have to weigh two things: timing around the EchoStar Corp. spectrum close and more selling in U.S. wireless names after SpaceX and Charter Communications Inc. were reported in phone-service talks.
Trump student loan rulings dim private-lender tailwind as graduate caps start

Trump student loan rulings dim private-lender tailwind as graduate caps start

The U.S. stock cash session had not opened at the dateline time. The New York Stock Exchange core session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, leaving student-loan shares to price the court rulings after pre-market checks rather than a full cash-session read. The bigger market issue is not the Public Service Loan Forgiveness headline. It is the June 29 loan-cap list. The Education Department kept the July 1 end of Grad PLUS and the new graduate loan limits in place, but it said listed programs would be treated as professional while a court stay remains in effect.

US stock futures slip before market open with Nasdaq down, yields up as oil declines

U.S. futures pulled back before the open on Wednesday, with Nasdaq 100 contracts lagging the other indexes. Oil prices also eased, but the gap between Nasdaq and the rest suggested traders were more worried about rates and tech valuations at the start of the new half than just oil-driven energy worries. U.S. futures data came in delayed just after 8:30 a.m. ET, with the tech contract showing the biggest drop:
Kroger (NYSE:KR) Giant Eagle deal prices $9 billion grocer at 0.18 times sales

Kroger (NYSE:KR) Giant Eagle deal prices $9 billion grocer at 0.18 times sales

Kroger agreed to buy family-owned Giant Eagle for $1.65 billion, a small but targeted bet on Pittsburgh, northern Ohio and nearby grocery markets after its larger Albertsons Companies plan died in court. The buyer is paying $1.25 billion in cash and assuming about $400 million of Giant Eagle liabilities, Kroger said. Giant Eagle has about $9 billion in annual sales, 197 supermarkets and 11 standalone pharmacies. The investor angle is the multiple. The price equals about 0.18 times Giant Eagle’s sales and about $7.9 million per reported food-and-pharmacy location. That is a modest balance-sheet outlay for Kroger: $1.65 billion equals about 4.8% of its $34.15 billion market value, based on current market data. Kroger shares were recently down 38 cents

Sam’s Club rotisserie chicken brings Walmart closer to Costco’s $5 draw

Sam’s Club, a Walmart Inc unit, scored first in a new Consumer Reports ranking of U.S. grocery rotisserie chickens, bumping Costco Wholesale Corp out of the lead. Mystery shoppers picked up chickens at as many as three stores on different dates and sent them still warm for a blind tasting in a lab. Sam’s Club undercut rivals on rotisserie chicken, with its Member’s Mark chicken at $4.98 for around three pounds—just a penny less than Costco and BJ’s average of $4.99. Sam’s also ranked higher on taste, a category where front-line price matters for warehouse clubs.
Hub Group (NASDAQ:HUBG) lawsuit date lands before restatement filing

Hub Group (NASDAQ:HUBG) lawsuit date lands before restatement filing

Hub Group Inc holders have until Aug. 28 to ask for lead plaintiff status in a securities suit, even though the freight broker hasn’t yet filed its restated results. That deadline sets up a situation where the lawsuit may move faster than the company’s new numbers. Faruqi & Faruqi said Tuesday it’s telling investors about an Aug. 28 deadline for a federal securities class action against Hub. The complaint says Hub made misstatements tied to revenue recognition in 2023 and 2024 and understated purchased transportation costs and accounts payable in the first three quarters of 2025.

Brookfield (NYSE:BAM) raises AI power deal framework to $25B; Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) stock moves

Bloom Energy shares soared late Tuesday as Brookfield Asset Management increased its financing framework for Bloom’s AI infrastructure power projects to $25 billion, up from $5 billion. The move shifts the deal into a test for Bloom’s ability to deploy the new capital quickly. Reuters said the stock climbed 12% in after-hours trading after the two groups revealed the new figure. Bloom shares caught a bid even before the news, changing hands at $302.70 in late trading. That’s up roughly 10% from the previous close, putting the market cap close to $96.8 billion, according to finance data. U.S. cash markets had already closed when the print hit, so those gains were all after-hours.
Constellation Energy drops, Calpine lock-up weighs

Constellation Energy drops, Calpine lock-up weighs

Constellation Energy Corporation sank Tuesday, trailing a firmer market as traders weighed extra equity supply from the Calpine deal. CEG dropped 4.22% to close at $248.37. That makes three losses in a row. The S&P 500 gained 0.79%, and the Dow added 0.26%. CEG dropped hard over two days, sliding 1.78% Monday and then tumbling 4.22% Tuesday, for a compounded 5.9% loss. By comparison, the S&P 500 gained about 2.0% in those sessions.

AeroVironment (NASDAQ:AVAV) climbs, but backlog, margin details curb gains

AeroVironment, Inc. surged Tuesday after posting strong fiscal Q4 numbers, but action was choppy. The drone and defense stock ended at $165.07, up 18.76%. Shares opened at $176.50, hit $178.50 during the day, then eased back. Volume was heavy at 7.98 million shares, 5.4 times the norm. After hours, the stock moved to $165.55. The stock outperformed the indexes by a lot, but closing under the open tells the story. Buyers bought the earnings beat, then stepped back after seeing gross margin, the latest acquisition, and profit targets for fiscal 2027. AP said the broader U.S. market climbed, with the Nasdaq gaining 1.5% and the S&P 500 adding 0.8%.

MARA stock slips after Bitcoin drop and Long Ridge data center deal news

MARA Holdings, Inc. ended the U.S. cash session Tuesday at $13.89, down 0.9% as bitcoin extended losses and broad tech benchmarks gained. The stock swung between $13.285 and $14.02, a 5.2% range, with 42.0 million shares changing hands. That’s about 11% of the 381.27 million shares outstanding on Google Finance. MARA dropped but held up better than bitcoin, Hut 8 Corp, Riot Platforms Inc., and CleanSpark Inc.. Still, it lagged SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and Invesco QQQ Trust.

Nu Holdings (NYSE:NU) tops Brazil, bank ETFs as buyback plan brings new interest

Nu Holdings Ltd. traded higher Tuesday, outperforming U.S. financial stocks and Brazilian names. The move points to investors putting a premium on Nu’s capital return angle, even if the announced buyback is minor compared with the company’s overall size. Nu last traded at $13.36, up 24 cents, or 1.8%. About 45.6 million shares changed hands. The price ranged from $12.94 to $13.39, moving close to the session high in late trading. The company’s market cap was roughly $63.9 billion.
July 1 student loan rules put more investor risk on nonprofit degrees, new data show

July 1 student loan rules put more investor risk on nonprofit degrees, new data show

July 1 student loan changes are shaking up where the risks land. New Department of Education data show fewer for-profit college programs now face losing federal aid under the final earnings rule. Nonprofit schools, on the other hand, now have almost five times more exposure tied to programs flagged as likely to fail. Investors now need to look past tax status and focus on what programs each school runs. Investors looking at Grand Canyon Education, Strategic Education, Perdoceo Education, or private lenders like SLM Corp and SoFi Technologies usually start with federal-aid exposure. The next thing they watch is private credit demand from families once federal limits are reached.
South Korea chip shift moves AI capex focus to tool makers

South Korea chip shift moves AI capex focus to tool makers

ASML Holding was the biggest mover after South Korea’s new chip spending news. Shares in the Dutch equipment maker ended up 6.79% at 1,721.40 euros in Amsterdam on June 30. ASML’s market cap hit 675.86 billion euros, Google Finance shows. The gain adds around 43 billion euros to equity value in a day. That’s a big jump. SK Hynix said in March it made an 11.95 trillion won order for ASML EUV lithography gear, the biggest single order ASML has reported from a customer. The new southwest Korea fab plan comes in at $518.3 billion, about 65 times more than the tool order, though not all fab spending is for lithography.
B-2 tests LRASM as anti-ship missile demand rises

B-2 tests LRASM as anti-ship missile demand rises

B-2 Spirit, built by Northrop Grumman, launched a Lockheed Martin AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile in a Pacific live-fire sinking drill. It's the first time the stealth bomber has been put on the public LRASM platform list. The move may let investors gauge missile demand better than a one-off test. Pacific Air Forces said the B-2 dropped the LRASM north of the Mariana Islands. Air Force images show the missile being loaded at Whiteman Air Force Base on June 22 and fired over the Philippine Sea on June 27. U.S. Pacific Command said it targeted the decommissioned Austin-class amphibious transport dock USS Juneau, positioning it more than 200 nautical miles from the Mariana Islands Range Complex. The sinking exercise involved
Nasdaq edges up after-hours as more stocks join in, AI seen facing tighter price scrutiny

Nasdaq edges up after-hours as more stocks join in, AI seen facing tighter price scrutiny

U.S. stocks closed up Tuesday, with the Nasdaq out front as buying broadened out beyond just AI leaders. That shift in breadth drew attention after the close. Fund managers looked for any sign the second-half rally could keep going with lofty valuations and a Fed still leaning hawkish. The main indexes closed up, Reuters/LSEG data showed. The Nasdaq was up more than four times as much as the Dow on a point-adjusted basis.
Dow tops 52,000 again as Caterpillar leads gains

Dow tops 52,000 again as Caterpillar leads gains

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up on Tuesday, locking in another record after crossing 52,000 for the first time on Monday. The S&P 500 climbed 64.63 points, or 0.87%, to close at 7,505.06. The Nasdaq Composite finished up 398.23 points, or 1.54%, at 26,218.37. The story isn’t really “Big Tech saved the Dow.” It’s about how the Dow’s price-weighting gave an outsize impact to machinery names, despite their lower market cap. The Dow tracks 30 large U.S. firms and weights them by share price, S&P Dow Jones Indices says.

FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) stock rally exposes warrant math after Russell add

FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) stock rally exposes warrant math after Russell add

FuelCell Energy, Inc. shares jumped for a second day on Tuesday, but the cleaner read for investors may be in the gap between the news and the price reaction: a $49 million export loan package and a Russell index add have helped lift the company’s market value by hundreds of millions of dollars. At 2:49 p.m. EDT, FuelCell traded at $36.46, up $6.66 on the day. The stock hit $37.87 intraday, a fresh 52-week high, and volume was about 21 million shares. Monday’s close was $29.80 after a 24.17% gain, putting the two-session rise near 52% from Friday’s implied close.
