Lockheed Martin stock falls as defense shares lag broader Wall Street rally

Lockheed Martin stock falls as defense shares lag broader Wall Street rally

Lockheed Martin shares fell sharply on Thursday, underperforming a rising U.S. market as investors cut exposure to major defense contractors after a Middle East de-escalation cooled part of the conflict trade. The stock was last quoted at $510.76, down 4.1%, after opening higher and then sliding as low as $505.27. The drop mattered because it came on a day when the broader tape was stronger. Reuters reported that Wall Street indexes advanced as chip stocks rose and oil prices fell after the United States and Iran signed an interim agreement extending a ceasefire, a move that eased some inflation concerns.

Corning stock jumps 10% as AI data-center fiber trade draws fresh bids

Corning stock jumps 10% as AI data-center fiber trade draws fresh bids

Corning Incorporated shares jumped 10.3% to $193.45 in Thursday afternoon trading, up $18.05 on the day, as buyers returned to one of this year’s sharper artificial-intelligence infrastructure trades. The stock’s volume stood at about 11.2 million shares. The move matters because Corning is no longer being priced only as a mature specialty-glass maker. Investors are treating it as a supplier to AI data centers, where optical fiber and related connectors move large amounts of data between chips and servers. Investor’s Business Daily this week highlighted Corning as an AI data-center play and said the stock had risen 106% in 2026.

U.S. Gas Falls Under $4 After Iran Deal Sends Oil Lower

U.S. Gas Falls Under $4 After Iran Deal Sends Oil Lower

Gasoline prices in the U.S. dropped under $4 a gallon on Thursday, giving some relief to drivers after the Iran war sent prices higher and made the Strait of Hormuz the key risk for energy traders. The average price nationally was $3.99, according to AAA data cited by the Washington Post. Oil’s drop is getting attention with the Trump administration pushing to turn a temporary deal with Tehran into more secure shipping through Hormuz, which carries around a fifth of world oil. Drivers are seeing some relief, but prices are still high—AP says average gas is about 25% more expensive than this time last year.

Salesforce stock falls further as AI returns, Fin deal weigh on Wall Street

Salesforce stock falls further as AI returns, Fin deal weigh on Wall Street

Salesforce Inc. shares slipped again Thursday, down 1.8% to $152.21 by midday in New York. Investors seemed to look past AI-driven revenue growth and focused on questions about whether artificial-intelligence agents could hit the core subscription model. The stock had hit a session low of $149.96. Salesforce faces pressure as investors look beyond growth to the future of SaaS pricing. With AI agents starting to handle jobs employees once did, big questions have come up about whether companies can stick to charging by user. The stock touched a 52-week low and has fallen around 40% for 2026, Motley Fool analyst Daniel Sparks said.

Chief Financial Officer James Bligh said the fundraising offers “further validation” as Sarborg shifts into quantum computing with SarborgQ.

VEEM Ltd (A$82.18M) focuses on marine propulsion systems, rounding out the list of small names in focus as markets stay volatile. Even with losses, these names show growth potential away from the larger end of the market.
