Normal trading is 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern. The exchange shows Friday, July 3, as the Independence Day observed holiday in 2026.

IBM’s $15 Billion Move Catches Wall Street’s Eye Ahead of the Open

IBM slide puts AI growth bets in focus as Accenture outlook hits techs

IBM shares slid Monday, down 1.8% at $244.57, hit as Accenture’s softer guidance weighed on IT services stocks. Accenture dropped 5.2% to $121.34 in early afternoon New York trading. Worries over AI’s impact on consulting work drove debate on whether it can boost profits or makes some projects less profitable for IBM and rivals. This matters now as investors have stopped lumping every AI-related enterprise software name together. There’s a sharper divide showing up: self-scaling software versus consulting-heavy models that hinge on manpower and projects.

Infosys drops after Accenture forecast adds to Indian IT pressure

Infosys stock heads into the week after Accenture news hits Nifty IT

Infosys comes into this week facing renewed selling after shares slid 6.75% Friday to close at ₹1,051.40. The stock touched ₹1,030 during the session and saw turnover above 45.6 million shares. The drop is key now as it put pressure on the market’s bet that India’s big IT exporters were nearing a demand rebound. Accenture, seen as a bellwether for Indian tech by many investors, cut the top of its fiscal-year growth forecast. That points to choppy client spending. “Local currency” growth takes out currency effects for a clearer picture of demand.

Tech Stocks Edge Higher in Holiday Trading; Micron Results on Deck

Tech Stocks Edge Higher in Holiday Trading; Micron Results on Deck

Chip stocks led tech shares higher in a short week for U.S. markets, putting attention on Micron Technology’s earnings for the coming days. The Nasdaq rose 2.43% over the week. Markets were shut Friday for Juneteenth and will reopen Monday. The rally is back to concentrating on artificial intelligence infrastructure. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index hit a fresh record, closing up about 7% for the week. Andy Pratt, investment strategy director at Burney Company, called the AI trend “still a lot of juice.” Steve Kolano, chief investment officer at Integrated Partners, said chip demand is “just through the roof” compared to what’s available.

Dow Jones Pauses for Juneteenth Holiday After Weekly Gain

Dow Jones Pauses for Juneteenth Holiday After Weekly Gain

Dow Jones trading stopped on Friday, as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq remained closed for Juneteenth. The index’s last value held at Thursday’s close of 51,564.70, up 72.15 points, or 0.14%. The Dow heads into the long weekend in positive territory, but it’s not leading. The blue-chip index gained 0.71% this week. That lags the S&P 500, which added 0.93%. The Nasdaq posted a much bigger 2.43% jump. Investors kept bidding up tech and AI stocks instead of industrials.

US stocks finish up as chip shares surge and oil falls

US Stocks Pause for Juneteenth After Chip-Led Rally; Fed, Micron Earnings Loom

U.S. stock trading was paused Friday for Juneteenth, leaving Wall Street to sit with a chip-led rebound that steadied the market after a midweek Federal Reserve jolt. The latest cash close showed the S&P 500 up 80.48 points at 7,500.58, the Nasdaq Composite up 496.28 points at 26,517.93 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 72.15 points at 51,564.70. That matters now because the rally has two engines, and they are not fully aligned. Artificial-intelligence demand is still pulling money into chip and infrastructure names, but the Fed has pushed investors back toward the idea that borrowing costs may rise rather than fall. The next cash session will open with that tension still in place.

US stocks finish up as chip shares surge and oil falls

Stocks bounce back; Iran deal, chips boost market despite Fed worries

Stocks in the U.S. ended the holiday-shortened week higher Thursday. An interim U.S.-Iran deal eased some concerns over inflation, and semiconductors rallied. That helped offset renewed worries the Fed could hike rates this year. The Nasdaq Composite added 496.28 points, or 1.91%, to close at 26,517.93. The S&P 500 finished up 80.48 points, or 1.08%, at 7,500.58. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 72.15 points, or 0.14%, at 51,564.70. Over the week, the S&P 500 climbed 0.93%, the Nasdaq was up 2.43% and the Dow gained 0.71%. U.S. stock and bond markets were shut Friday for Juneteenth.

Infosys drops after Accenture forecast adds to Indian IT pressure

Infosys drops after Accenture forecast adds to Indian IT pressure

Infosys Ltd tumbled 6.5% on Friday to finish at 1,054.20 rupees on the National Stock Exchange, with nearly 45.67 million shares traded, after sinking as low as 1,030. The drop came as Accenture cut its full-year revenue-growth outlook and global tech recovery bets faded, dragging Indian tech stocks lower. Accenture’s results matter to investors as a read on demand for Indian IT exporters, who also serve big global clients with software, consulting and outsourcing. The Nifty IT index cut some of its early steep losses, but closed off 3.65%. The Nifty 50 dropped 0.64% to 24,013. Sensex was down 0.78% at 76,803.

Accenture slide puts AI consulting trade in focus when markets reopen after Juneteenth

Accenture shares finished Thursday at $127.98, down 17.97%, after hitting a 52-week low of $125.60 in the session. The move puts the consulting giant’s AI pitch in the spotlight ahead of the long weekend, with Monday’s U.S. open set to test market conviction. No follow-through in the Friday cash session. The New York Stock Exchange marks Friday, June 19, 2026, as closed for Juneteenth National Independence Day. On other days, the normal core session is 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern.

Dow Ends Up as Chips Gain, Lower Oil Prices Offset Fed Jitters

Dow Ends Up as Chips Gain, Lower Oil Prices Offset Fed Jitters

Dow ends up on Thursday, bouncing after Wednesday’s selloff. Chip stocks rallied. Lower oil prices also supported gains. The calendar played a role. This was the final full session for U.S. cash equities ahead of Friday's Juneteenth holiday, so traders were left to manage quick swings in energy prices, fresh demand for tech, and a Fed reminder that inflation isn’t done. The NYSE marks Juneteenth National Independence Day as a market holiday on Friday, June 19 in 2026.

US stocks finish up as chip shares surge and oil falls

Nasdaq led gains as U.S. stocks finished up on Thursday. Chipmakers rallied, and oil pulled back after an early U.S.-Iran deal took some heat off inflation worries. S&P 500 closed at 7,499.77, up 1.07% for the day. Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.48% to finish at 26,406.98, a gain of 385.32 points. Dow Jones Industrial Average added 180.25 points, or 0.35%, to end at 51,672.80, MarketWatch data showed.

AI Names Drop, Oil Upends Inflation Bets, US Stocks Slip

Chips push Wall St higher, oil’s slide softens Fed hit

Chip stocks boosted Wall Street late Thursday morning, with U.S. indexes moving up as oil prices fell and some inflation worries cooled despite a firmer tone from the Federal Reserve. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.36% at 11:23 a.m. ET, while the S&P 500 was up 0.91%. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.25%. Wednesday’s drop in stocks got traders’ attention, since it wasn’t minor and didn’t look like a blip. Stocks fell after the Fed left rates unchanged but suggested a possible rate hike ahead. When markets call a signal “hawkish,” they mean the Fed could push rates higher to deal with inflation.

IBM’s $15 Billion Move Catches Wall Street’s Eye Ahead of the Open

IBM drops after Accenture outlook, AI control worries hit IT services stocks

IBM shares slid nearly 7% Thursday morning, trailing gains elsewhere in the U.S. market. The drop followed a weak outlook from Accenture and renewed worries about AI “control,” which pressured sentiment across the IT services space — the segment handling outsourced tech and consulting work for corporate systems. IBM traded at $244.20, down $18.15, or 6.9%. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF added 0.6%. The Invesco QQQ Trust climbed 1.8%. Shares of Accenture dropped 17.2% to $129.20.

Accenture Drops After Forecast Misses, Despite $4.18 Billion Cybersecurity Spend

Accenture Drops After Forecast Misses, Despite $4.18 Billion Cybersecurity Spend

Accenture shares dropped hard in premarket trade Thursday after the consulting and tech firm cut its full-year sales forecast. This overshadowed news of a $4.18 billion cybersecurity acquisition. The guidance cut comes as the stock faces investor worry over weaker IT budgets and what AI means for consulting jobs. Accenture is often seen as a gauge for tech spending, so its downbeat forecast is raising questions. The outlook points to clients holding off on some projects, despite companies pouring money into AI and cybersecurity. Investors are wondering if AI brings new business for consultants, or ends up replacing them.

Accenture drops on Morgan Stanley downgrade tied to AI spending

Accenture drops on Morgan Stanley downgrade tied to AI spending

Accenture shares slipped Monday after Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette cut the stock to Equal Weight from Overweight. Faucette pointed to slower budgets and AI spending as headwinds for traditional tech consulting. He also dropped his price target to $177 from $240, TipRanks/The Fly reported. Morgan Stanley says companies aren’t spending less on AI, but they are moving dollars from other areas to fund it. The bank’s first-quarter 2026 CIO Survey shows IT services budgets up just 2% from a year ago. Total IT budgets went to 3.7%, barely above 3.6% in 2025, according to Investing.com UK. Morgan Stanley added that pilot project returns haven’t been strong enough to drive a bigger spending jump.

Accenture Stock Rebounds Before Q3 Earnings as AI Growth Test Looms for ACN

Accenture Stock Rebounds Before Q3 Earnings as AI Growth Test Looms for ACN

Accenture plc shares regained ground Friday, with ACN rising 1.65% to close at $170.28, outperforming the broader market as the S&P 500 added 0.50% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.70%. The move mattered because it broke a five-day losing streak, but it did not erase the bigger damage: the stock remains roughly 46% below its 52-week high, leaving investors focused on whether the recent weakness is a buying opportunity or a warning about slower demand for consulting and IT services. The immediate catalyst is clear. Accenture has scheduled its third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call for Thursday, June 18, at 8:00 a.m. EDT, with the earnings release due before the call. MarketBeat reported this week that analysts expect Q3 earnings of $3.70 per share on revenue of about $18.77 billion, making revenue growth, bookings and commentary on client spending the key numbers for ACN’s next stock move.

Accenture Stock Eyes Key Week After 4.7% Drop

Accenture plc heads into next week with its June 18 earnings call in view as shares lagged during a tough week for Wall Street. U.S. cash markets were shut Saturday, so Accenture’s last NYSE close held at $178.25 on Friday, down 0.34% on the day. Accenture is stepping up AI work as it heads into its fiscal third-quarter numbers. The company said it will post results before an 8 a.m. EDT conference call on June 18. Google Finance has consensus for the quarter at $3.72 a share and revenue at $18.76 billion.

Accenture Stock Trades in Big Swings, Investors Eye June 18 Decision

Accenture plc settled out Friday at $178.25, down 0.34%, capping a week where the stock lost about 4.7%. Shares slid from $196.59 Monday to a low around $177.43 Wednesday. Investors are still eyeing artificial intelligence projects to see if they can keep making up for the squeeze in the main consulting business. That’s in focus now with Accenture’s next earnings event coming up. The company is set to post fiscal Q3 results before its 8:00 a.m. EDT call on June 18, and traders are zeroed in on bookings — which is signed client work that hasn’t hit revenue yet — along with any signs of AI-driven demand.

Accenture Shares Pop; AI Spending Still in Focus

Accenture plc jumped 4.86% Friday to close at $187.07. That finished a 4.37% move higher for a shortened week, as buyers came back into the stock after a slump. The IT services group, which has exposure to artificial intelligence work, traded over 10 million shares Friday, well above usual volume. NYSE won’t have regular trading on Saturday. Trading was also closed Monday for Memorial Day. The exchange’s core session usually goes from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, but NYSE has May 25 off as a 2026 holiday.

Accenture Gets a Holiday-Week Lift, but AI Remains a Key Issue

Accenture plc closed at $179.24 on Friday, rising 0.77% for the day and up 6.17% for the week. The gain followed a steep drop—shares are still off 32.23% since the start of the year and remain down about 44% from their 52-week high. That’s in focus now as investors look past recent weakness in IT services stocks and want to see if AI work for clients will start to show up as recurring revenue, not just in press releases. Accenture is part of big indexes like the S&P 100 and Russell 1000, meaning the stock is caught up in passive flows whenever views on tech and services swing.
