Snap (NYSE:SNAP) gains as short interest drops, putting squeeze bets in question

Snap (NYSE:SNAP) gains as short interest drops, putting squeeze bets in question

Snap Inc. climbed roughly 7.1% to $4.75 in late trading Wednesday. That move was larger than what recent short interest figures suggested. Regular trading on the NYSE closed at 4:00 p.m. ET, and by 17:01 EDT, the session had ended. Snap’s 31.5-cent rise on 1.689 billion shares adds up to a market cap gain of about $530 million for the day. That’s about the same as the $535.62 million in Snap shares sold short, according to the latest data.

Dow Jones closes down 437 points, short of 20th record high close for 2026

Dow Jones closes down 437 points, short of 20th record high close for 2026

The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 13.96 points on Wednesday. The drop came after an earlier gain that saw it hit 52,742.66, but the Dow lost steam, slipping 437.42 points from that intraday high. It settled at 52,305.24, missing out on what would have been its 20th record close of 2026. In the last 30 minutes, the index needed just a small gain to get to that milestone. Investors paid more attention to the swings in the tape than to how the Dow closed. The index fell much further from its high than the final change showed—a 31:1 ratio. The Dow traded across a 716.02-point range for the day, equal to 1.37% of its closing value, according to WSJ quotes at 4:20 p.m. EDT.

Transocean (NYSE:RIG) dips after $1 billion Equinor contract, investors question dayrate impact

Transocean Ltd fell 0.5% to $4.87 on Wednesday. The move comes after the company announced a rig deal worth over $1 billion in Norway, which added to its backlog but didn’t deliver the big dayrate hike some expected. Volume came in at 47.86 million shares, topping the average of 33.91 million. Market cap stood at $5.41 billion at the close.

Reuters said Meta’s plans were still taking shape and might be different later. Meta would not give Reuters a comment.

Walmart drop makes July sales latest test for $38 billion valuation

Walmart drop makes July sales latest test for $38 billion valuation

Walmart Inc. dropped $4.75, or roughly 4.2%, to $108.51 just before 3 p.m. ET Wednesday. Cleveland Research reportedly flagged slower U.S. comparable sales. That move wiped out around $38 billion in Walmart’s equity value—almost two-thirds of what Target Corp. is worth now. This looks more like a specific trade story. There was no big wave out of retail stocks. Costco Wholesale Corp. slipped under 1%. Amazon.com Inc. ticked higher. Kroger Co. added ground and the SPDR S&P Retail ETF also traded up.

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) looks to big memory contracts as stock moves into new week

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) falls after GM contract, traders weigh AI memory bets

Micron Technology fell 9.8% to $1,041.12 as of 13:58 EDT, in delayed trading. The memory-chip company and General Motors announced a long-term supply agreement. Even so, shares sank $113.17 from Tuesday’s close, wiping around $130 billion from Micron’s value based on its quoted share count. That’s roughly 1.9 times GM’s total market cap. Micron took a hit, and that’s the story. The GM deal adds another buyer for Micron’s memory and storage over the long haul, but the market wants proof. The shares now bake in a tough bet—memory chips trading more like a contracted AI part and less like a classic boom-bust commodity.

NIKE (NYSE:NKE) jumps after $986M tariff refund lifts profit

NIKE, Inc. shares were up Wednesday, getting a 2.4% lift to $42.02, last check. The move came as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust added 0.1%, and the SPDR S&P Retail ETF ticked up 0.2%. Nike’s intraday range was wide, running from $39.21 to $43.09, a 9.5% band. The market did not fully back the move. Nike’s stock gain tacked on about $1.4 billion in market cap, going by the latest share price and market cap data. The quarter saw a $986 million tariff recovery, which supplied most of the punch to EPS. Investors are focused less on sales growth now, with the shares trading more off margin performance.

Hims & Hers Health (NYSE:HIMS) run trims Canaccord upside after GLP-1 reset

Hims & Hers Health jumped 9.5% to $37.97 by midday after Canaccord Genuity’s Maria Ripps raised her target price to $40 from $32 and left her Buy call unchanged. The new target is about 5% above the current level, after a 25% bump in the target price. The investor story isn’t about bulk drug sales now, but regular cash subscriptions. Hims offers Wegovy at $149 per month, but buyers have to sign up for a Hims Weight Loss membership too—$39 for month one, then $149 monthly. Hims says this is a separate charge, and membership doesn’t mean you’ll get a prescription.
