S&P 500 gains narrow after hours as Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) drops, Fiserv (NASDAQ:FISV) rises

U.S. stocks climbed Monday, but futures were more muted after the bell. The S&P 500 closed up 0.72% at 7,537.43, Nasdaq added 1.12% to 26,121.16, and the Dow rose 0.29% to 53,055.91.

OpenAI proposal could hand $42.6 billion in AI equity to U.S. government

OpenAI proposal could hand $42.6 billion in AI equity to U.S. government

OpenAI has reportedly offered the U.S. government a 5% stake, which at the company’s latest $852 billion valuation would value the holding at $42.6 billion. That potential piece would be bigger than most recent direct government stakes in U.S. companies and could be key for IPO buyers to watch. OpenAI in March said it closed $122 billion in committed capital.

Dow at a record but chip shares split in US after-hours trading before July 4 break

Dow closed at a record while AI names slid as U.S. stocks finished the session before the July 4 break. Volume and market breadth told the story—U.S. exchange volume reached 19.92 billion shares, which is about 14.7% under the 20-day average. The Dow picked up 594.83 points as the Philadelphia semiconductor index dropped 5.4%.

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) surge values AI cloud bet at $128 billion

Meta Platforms jumped 8.8% in early New York premarket Thursday after a Reuters item said Bloomberg News reported Meta is planning to offer extra AI compute power through a new cloud business.

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.
Dow hits 52,000 in premarket as U.S. stock futures trade higher

Dow hits 52,000 in premarket as U.S. stock futures trade higher

U.S. stock futures ticked higher early Tuesday, but traders didn’t keep up Monday’s big technology rally. The key move was the gap between cash trading and futures: the Nasdaq Composite jumped over 500 points Monday, but as of 5:24 a.m. EDT, Nasdaq 100 futures added just 14.25 points. Exchanges in the U.S. were on track for a regular session. According to the NYSE’s 2026 holiday schedule, the next market closure is July 3 for Independence Day.

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.
AI shares June 2026: memory and power plays go different ways

AI shares June 2026: memory and power plays go different ways

U.S. AI stocks closed out June showing a more defined split than earlier in the month. On one side were suppliers with signed AI orders. On the other, big spenders and software names trading at high multiples. NVIDIA, Broadcom, Micron Technology and Vertiv gave investors new operating numbers tied to their AI business. Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon.com and Meta Platforms remained key to demand, but the market focus moved in June to how the spending gets funded and what kind of payback investors can expect.
Microsoft rebound ahead of Nasdaq open puts AI spending in spotlight

Microsoft rebound ahead of Nasdaq open puts AI spending in spotlight

Microsoft Corporation starts the U.S. premarket session Monday with a setup that’s more straightforward than it was late last week. But holders are staring at the same issue: does the stock deserve its software valuation when the company is spending like an infrastructure player? Nasdaq lists premarket hours as 4:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Eastern, and regular hours at 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The exchange also marks July 3 as closed for the Independence Day observed holiday.
