    June 29, 2026, 1:37 PM EDT. U.S. stocks finished higher Monday, with the S&P 500 up 0.8% after wiping out earlier declines, snapping a five-day losing run. The Dow added 0.5%, and the Nasdaq jumped 1.4% as tech and AI names outperformed. Comcast popped 6.6% on news it will spin off its media assets. Chip stocks got a boost after South Korea revealed a $518 billion AI investment plan; Applied Materials rose 10.9%. SpaceX, now valued above $2 trillion, added 1.9% ahead of joining the Nasdaq 100. Those gains helped outweigh a 7% drop in Verizon, which sank after a $625 million joint venture deal.
