US Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Records As AI Rally Holds After Hours

US Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Records As AI Rally Holds After Hours

New York, May 8, 2026, 8:01 PM EDT U.S. equities hit new peaks on Friday, with after-hours action steadying at those record levels. Robust jobs numbers and another wave of AI-driven buying propelled both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq higher. The S&P 500 climbed 0.84% to finish at 7,398.93. Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.71% to 26,247.08. The Dow edged up—just 0.02%—to 49,609.16.

Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Records as Jobs Report and AI Chip Rally Power Sixth Weekly Win

Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Records as Jobs Report and AI Chip Rally Power Sixth Weekly Win

Friday saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq notch fresh records, lifted by a robust U.S. jobs print and continued momentum in AI chip names. The S&P 500 ended the session up 0.84% at 7,398.93. The Nasdaq surged 1.71% to 26,247.08. Not much movement for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which finished at 49,609.16, according to Reuters. That timing proved key. Investors came in bracing for evidence the U.S. economy was cracking under pricier energy and geopolitical stress, but the payrolls print pointed instead to sturdier growth. Odds of rapid Fed easing slid. Stocks notched fresh records on those signs of labor-market resilience, Bloomberg reported, and the chipmaker index surged—up 11% since the previous Friday.

Chip Stocks Roar Back: Why SMH, SOXX, EWT, EWY And Eaton Are Back In Focus

Chip Stocks Roar Back: Why SMH, SOXX, EWT, EWY And Eaton Are Back In Focus

Semiconductor stocks took off Friday, driving up AI-focused ETFs and putting fresh records on the boards for both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. Nvidia tacked on gains, while Micron and Sandisk each vaulted roughly 12%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index logged an almost 5% leap, according to Reuters. This shift is significant, as the AI trade keeps expanding. Investors aren’t sticking to chip designers—they’re moving into ETFs and snapping up companies supplying power gear for data centers. SMH climbed roughly 4.7% late in New York, SOXX advanced around 5.4%, EWT added 1.8%, and EWY jumped 7.4%. Eaton edged up about 0.8%, according to market data.

Dow Jones Today: Blue-Chip Index Barely Rises as AI Rally Sends Nasdaq, S&P 500 to Records

Dow Jones Today: Blue-Chip Index Barely Rises as AI Rally Sends Nasdaq, S&P 500 to Records

The Dow Jones Industrial Average barely budged Friday, eking out a 0.02% gain to close at 49,609.16. Blue chips found some footing after a solid U.S. jobs report, but tech stocks dominated the action. The S&P 500 climbed 0.84% to 7,398.93, while the Nasdaq Composite surged 1.71% to 26,247.08. The split is in focus as Wall Street debates if the rally’s lost breadth. The Dow—still price-weighted, still just 30 big U.S. names—trailed once more, while chip stocks and AI plays hauled the major indexes to new records.

US Stock Market Today After the Bell: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Records as AI Rally Runs Past Oil Risks

US Stock Market Today After the Bell: S&P 500, Nasdaq Hit Records as AI Rally Runs Past Oil Risks

Shares tied to artificial intelligence chips surged, helping push the S&P 500 up 0.83% to 7,397.72 and lifting the Nasdaq by 1.54% to a new high at 26,202.53 on Friday. Both indexes locked in fresh records, even as oil prices climbed again. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, managed just a 0.04% gain, finishing at 49,618.14. A stronger-than-expected jobs report added momentum. This shift is significant, with Wall Street essentially betting that robust corporate earnings and continued AI investment will keep stocks aloft—even as rising energy costs pose fresh inflation risks. The S&P 500 now sits over 15% higher than its late-March low. Looking ahead, investors are bracing for key reports on inflation, producer prices, and retail sales due next week.

Wall Street’s New AI Chip Bet Just Took In $1 Billion In One Day

Wall Street’s New AI Chip Bet Just Took In $1 Billion In One Day

Roundhill Investments’ Memory ETF is raking in eye-popping inflows—more than $5 billion since its April 2 debut. Just Thursday, $1.1 billion landed in the fund as investors hunt for ways to play the memory chips powering artificial intelligence. DRAM crossed the $1 billion asset mark in only 10 sessions. CNBC, citing Goldman Sachs, notes that only a few ETF debuts—think spot bitcoin funds, LQD, GLD, and JPMorgan’s BBCA—have ever drawn assets this quickly. Memory has turned into one of the most critical pressure points for AI supply chains. High-bandwidth memory, or HBM, feeds data quickly to AI chips. DRAM manages the quick, temporary workloads. For storage, NAND flash and SSDs stockpile data for servers and PCs. Roundhill says its fund is targeting these key memory areas as demand from AI training and inference surges.

Micron Stock Gets $740 AI Call as Mizuho Lifts Western Digital, SanDisk Bets

Micron Stock Gets $740 AI Call as Mizuho Lifts Western Digital, SanDisk Bets

Mizuho Securities bumped up its price targets for a slate of AI-driven memory and storage names, boosting Micron Technology to $740 from $545 and moving Western Digital to $550 from $470. Wall Street’s appetite for data-center memory plays continues, with the firm maintaining its bullish stance on Micron, Western Digital, and SanDisk, the note shows. Timing is key here. Investors have started viewing memory not just as another cyclical chip segment, but as a critical chokepoint in the AI ramp-up. AI inference—using models after training—relies on having speedy memory close to the processors. There’s also this agentic AI, software that can operate and plan with minimal human guidance, and it’s likely to push up demand for DRAM, NAND, and high-bandwidth memory.

SMH ETF Is Back in the AI Chip Rally. One Risk Still Could Bite Investors

SMH ETF Is Back in the AI Chip Rally. One Risk Still Could Bite Investors

Wednesday morning saw the VanEck Semiconductor ETF jump back into the spotlight as U.S. chipmakers headed higher premarket, buoyed by Advanced Micro Devices’ bullish outlook and a fresh wave of interest in AI-related hardware. SMH traded at $522.69, marking a $16.25 climb from the previous close. Reuters flagged AMD surging almost 18% before the bell, with Intel, Arm, Qualcomm, and Micron also moving up. This shift is significant as the AI trade widens out. Instead of just chasing Nvidia-type GPUs—the specialized chips powering much of AI’s training—investors are eyeing more. AMD’s latest update flagged stronger appetite for CPUs, the general-purpose chips at the heart of everyday computing. As AI focus tilts toward “inference,” or deploying trained models in practical scenarios, fresh demand for these processors is emerging.

QQQ Stock Rises Before the Open as AI Chip Rally Puts Nasdaq Records Back in Play

QQQ Stock Rises Before the Open as AI Chip Rally Puts Nasdaq Records Back in Play

Invesco QQQ Trust ETF climbed early Wednesday in premarket action, buoyed by a rally in Nasdaq futures following a bullish forecast from Advanced Micro Devices that energized the AI trade. QQQ last traded at $681.61, up roughly 1.3% versus its prior close. Nasdaq 100 futures showed gains ahead of the open. This shift is significant: QQQ sits at the heart of how traders bet on the Nasdaq-100, tracking the 100 largest non-financial Nasdaq names. It's an ETF—essentially a stock-like bundle of holdings—that hands investors instant access to heavyweight growth and tech players, skipping the hassle of picking individual shares.

Why Micron Stock Is Surging Again as AI Memory Boom Fuels a $1,000 Wall Street Call

Why Micron Stock Is Surging Again as AI Memory Boom Fuels a $1,000 Wall Street Call

Micron Technology jumped again Monday, with memory-chip stocks pushing higher as investors piled into names seen benefitting from artificial intelligence data center demand, which is expected to keep supplies of advanced memory and storage tight. Micron was changing hands at $584.58 in late-morning New York after an earlier high of $592.49. The stock was up against a mixed chip sector: Nvidia slid, and Advanced Micro Devices ticked lower as well, according to market data.

Best Stocks to Buy Today: 5 Earnings Stocks Wall Street Is Watching Before the Fed Decision

Best Stocks to Buy Today: 5 Earnings Stocks Wall Street Is Watching Before the Fed Decision

Those on the hunt for top stocks today are facing a slimmer field than the label implies. Earnings, not just general artificial intelligence hype, are driving the action. Early Wednesday, U.S. stock futures ticked higher, as investors juggled a stream of corporate results, the Federal Reserve’s looming decision, and a fresh batch of megacap tech earnings. The question on traders’ minds: does April’s rally have legs left? “For us, earnings are the most important part of the story right now,” said Kate Moore, chief investment officer at Citi Wealth, in an interview with Reuters. She noted analysts are upping their numbers this season, not cutting them.

Micron Stock’s AI Memory Boom Reopens The $1 Trillion Question

Micron Stock’s AI Memory Boom Reopens The $1 Trillion Question

Micron Technology was last seen trading around $497 early Monday, climbing roughly 3%. That pushes the U.S. memory-chip maker’s market cap close to $567 billion, with investors once again jumping into the AI memory story ahead of the bell. Over the weekend, fresh commentary made the rounds, with some arguing that Micron’s value in high-bandwidth memory remains discounted. Timing here is key: Micron isn’t lumped in with the usual cyclical chip names anymore. The conversation has turned—now it’s all about whether high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, can keep both prices and margins higher for longer than previous memory upswings ever did.

US Stock Market Today Premarket: Futures Slip From Record Highs as Oil Tops $103, Tesla and IBM in Focus

US Stock Market Today Premarket: Futures Slip From Record Highs as Oil Tops $103, Tesla and IBM in Focus

Stock futures in the U.S. slipped early Thursday, pulling back from the S&P 500 and Nasdaq’s all-time highs. Brent crude remained perched above $103 a barrel, and traders kept an eye on whether the next wave of earnings could offset fresh turbulence out of the Gulf. Wall Street futures tracked lower overnight during Asian hours, with ongoing shipping worries in the Strait of Hormuz keeping investors on edge. This shift comes as the rally leans on both strong Q1 numbers and bets that the Iran shock won't last. LSEG data, as cited by Reuters, pegs first-quarter earnings growth near 14%. But a Reuters survey of 103 economists signals the Fed is unlikely to cut rates before late 2026, with inflation pressures from the conflict hanging over the outlook.

US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Leads Wall Street Rally as Iran Ceasefire Relief Meets Earnings Momentum

U.S. stocks climbed Wednesday, with tech names pushing the Nasdaq higher, as investors returned to technology shares and snapped up companies posting strong earnings following President Donald Trump’s move to extend the ceasefire with Iran. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tacked on 381.18 points, or 0.78%, to reach 49,530.56 by 11:25 a.m. ET. The S&P 500 advanced 61.56 points, up 0.87%, at 7,125.15, and the Nasdaq Composite was higher by 313.74 points, or 1.29%, sitting at 24,573.70.

IBM Stock Gets Citi Buy Call Despite Worst Start Since 2002 as BofA Cuts Target Ahead of Earnings

IBM Stock Gets Citi Buy Call Despite Worst Start Since 2002 as BofA Cuts Target Ahead of Earnings

IBM ticked up Monday, gaining about 0.9% to $232.78 in late morning New York action, after Citi Research began coverage with a Buy and set a $285 target. Bank of America, on the other hand, dialed back its own target to $300 just ahead of IBM’s quarterly numbers. Despite today’s move, the stock remains down almost 22% for the year. IBM faces a dual test here: Wall Street wants to see if enterprise AI demand translates into consistent software gains, and analysts are also sizing up the risk that next-gen AI might erode revenue from IBM’s legacy platforms. Eyes turn to April 22, when Q1 numbers hit and investors get their first look at how last month’s Confluent deal is shaking out.

Jim Cramer Says Wednesday’s Rally Revealed What Stocks to Buy as Micron, Memory Names Stay in Focus

Jim Cramer pointed to Wednesday’s strong bounce in U.S. equities as a clear signal for investors: pay attention to which names lead on a relief rally. Among the standouts, the CNBC host mentioned Sherwin-Williams, Caterpillar, Home Depot, and Goldman Sachs—stocks that, he said, could see renewed institutional interest if Middle East tensions cool. The call comes with the market looking shaky again early Thursday. U.S. stock futures slipped roughly 0.4%, oil bounced back as the ceasefire appeared unsteady, and Reuters-polled economists saw the personal consumption expenditures index—PCE, the Fed’s chosen inflation metric—stuck at 2.8%.

The company said it plans to accept all validly tendered bonds. That figure could climb to about $4.46 billion—around 82.5% of the $5.4 billion buyback target—if additional notes sent via guaranteed-delivery get counted.

AI ETFs 2026: Why Vanguard VGT, Roundhill CHAT and Value-Chain Funds Are Pulling Investors Beyond Nvidia

Investors seeking to stay in the artificial intelligence trade are showing a clearer preference: broad exchange-traded funds versus more targeted plays in chip, memory, and networking stocks that power the sector. By Monday morning, Vanguard Information Technology ETF was down close to 1.0%. Shares of Roundhill Generative AI & Technology ETF slid about 1.1%, while Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF dropped 0.8%. This shift is catching attention right now: money is moving back into U.S. equities, but tech isn’t seeing the same love. In the week to March 25, U.S. equity funds raked in $37.24 billion. Tech sector funds, on the other hand, lost $1.45 billion. Nvidia’s forward price-to-earnings ratio? It’s dropped to its lowest since early 2019, with investors weighing just how quickly the big cloud players can convert massive AI outlays into real returns.

  • Mission Produce Looks to Blueberries for Growth as Avocado Pressures Persist
    July 3, 2026, 11:09 AM EDT. Avocados still make up most of Mission Produce's revenue, but the company is betting more on blueberries as a way to grow. Management is pushing investment into blueberries, even though margins are tight as more acreage matures. For the first half of fiscal 2024, stronger sales and better prices helped balance out lower production from new farms. Mission is using its Peruvian sites to pack and ship avocados, blueberries, and mangoes for better year-round efficiency. Management sees this mix as a way to smooth out seasonal swings and get more out of its facilities, hoping blueberries will play a bigger part in future growth and margin improvement.
