Snap falls after $2,195 Specs bet stirs Street questions

Snap falls after $2,195 Specs bet stirs Street questions

Snap stock slid in the latest quote ahead of Thursday’s open, under more pressure after investors raised doubts that a $2,195 AR glasses bet can jumpstart growth at the Snapchat owner without burning more cash. The shares were at $4.74, down roughly 8.1% from the last close. Snap is pitching Specs as a true computing platform as it heads into a long holiday weekend in the U.S., with its main ads business still trailing behind Meta and Alphabet. The timing isn’t great.

The Dow finished at 51,492.55 on June 17, after ending at 51,999.67 the day before, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis using S&P Dow Jones Indices figures.

Robinhood climbs after job cuts, record trading volume

Robinhood climbs after job cuts, record trading volume

Robinhood Markets stock hovered close to Wednesday’s sharp jump ahead of the U.S. open. Traders shrugged off the company’s move to cut 10% of staff, keeping their focus on record trading volumes in June, projected cost savings, and a new round of analyst upgrades for the online broker. Timing was key. Robinhood made its move while the broader market dropped: the S&P 500 slid 1.21% and the Nasdaq shed 1.34% on Wednesday as new signals from the Federal Reserve nudged traders toward betting on more rate hikes this year. Thursday marks the last normal Nasdaq session before a closure on Friday for Juneteenth.

Nvidia slips after close as AI demand faces scrutiny, $25 billion bond deal in focus

Nvidia stock faces more pressure Thursday. The AI-chip maker dropped in the last session. Traders are again eyeing rates, AI spending, and rivals, largely ignoring the recent signs of demand for Nvidia in the credit market. Nvidia shares closed at $204.65 Wednesday, down 1.3%. The drop put Nvidia’s market cap near $4.99 trillion. The chipmaker remains one of the biggest weights in the Nasdaq and S&P 500, so even small swings in Nvidia can shift both indexes.

Microsoft Drops as AI Spend Concerns, Fed Rate News Hit Shares

Microsoft Drops as AI Spend Concerns, Fed Rate News Hit Shares

Microsoft stock fell harder than the main indexes on Wednesday as the post-Fed slide hit tech heavyweights. The move put the company at the center of the latest talk about artificial intelligence costs. The timing is key. The Federal Reserve kept its target rate between 3.5% and 3.75%, but new projections now show the median year-end federal funds rate at 3.8%. That’s higher than the 3.4% forecast from March. The federal funds rate, the main tool for Fed policy, is the overnight lending rate. Higher rates usually weigh on high-growth stocks because they make future earnings less valuable now.

ServiceNow falls as software shares retreat on Fed-rate concerns

Shares last traded at $95.48, with more than 31.8 million shares changing hands. ServiceNow is still valued like a long-term growth stock, so the move made a difference. Rising interest-rate expectations can weigh on these names, since higher yields cut the present value of future earnings.
