US stocks edge lower after hours as ETF tape slows following Dow record, Nasdaq rise

U.S. stock-index ETFs edged lower in late trading Monday, pulling back after a session where the Dow finished at a record and the Nasdaq jumped over 2%. Regular session gains leaned on tech, index reshuffling, and quarter-end flows, but after-hours moves showed little follow-through. The main indexes ended with strong gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 306.63 points, or 0.59%, to 52,182.74. The S&P 500 jumped 86.41 points, or 1.18%, to 7,440.43. The Nasdaq Composite was up 522.53 points, or 2.07%, ending at 25,820.14, according to Reuters. The Russell 2000 edged up just 0.33 point to 3,010.42, AP said.

  • BCE, Telus weigh AI spending against TSX dividends
    June 29, 2026, 9:24 PM EDT. BCE and Telus are putting more money into AI infrastructure, a move that is hitting dividends for both TSX telecoms. BCE committed $1.3 billion to a new AI data centre, looking for $500 million in annual revenue and $250 million free cash flow from it, but said it would cut its 2025 dividend by 56%. The company is now focusing on deleveraging and keeping its payout manageable over chasing dividend growth. Telus is targeting over $66 billion for AI projects in five years, which could push back its aim for 10% free cash flow growth and cutting debt by 2028. Telus has kept up dividends but hasn't seen its stock rally like BCE. Both are facing tight dividend growth as they shift spending to AI and focus on the balance sheet.
