Wall Street jolted by Trump buyback, home-buying moves; S&P 500 slips, Nasdaq steadied by AI

Wall Street jolted by Trump buyback, home-buying moves; S&P 500 slips, Nasdaq steadied by AI

U.S. stocks slipped on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 and Dow closing lower after touching record highs earlier in the session as President Donald Trump’s policy shots hit defense and housing-related shares. The Nasdaq ended slightly higher as investors returned to AI, or artificial intelligence, heavyweights including Nvidia and Alphabet. The S&P 500 fell 0.34% to 6,920.93, the Nasdaq rose 0.16% to 23,584.28 and the Dow dropped 0.94% to 48,996.08. The retreat comes with earnings season weeks away and valuations already stretched. The S&P 500 is trading about 22 times expected earnings — a common gauge of how much investors pay for each dollar of profit — above its five-year average of 19, LSEG data show. In a Reuters Trading Day column, strategists pointed to forecasts for near 10% returns in 2026, but warned that pricey markets often lag cheaper peers.

  • AMD Trades at 54.08 Forward P/E, Well Above Sector and Peers as Growth Picture Stays Mixed
    July 3, 2026, 3:17 PM EDT. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is trading at a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 54.08, much higher than the Zacks Computer & Technology sector's 23.18 average, with rivals NVIDIA at 18.9 and Broadcom at 21.57. Shares have jumped 142.2% so far this year, beating out the sector's 14.6% rise but still trailing Intel's 226.6% rally. Growth gets a lift from strong demand for data center chips, but the company faces weaker gaming sales, supply limits, and tough competition from NVIDIA and Intel. Consensus earnings for 2026 hold steady at $7.18 a share, which would be up 72.2% from 2025. Margins could take a hit as AI accelerators-typically lower margin-make up more of the product mix. With competition rising and mixed signals across business lines, investors may debate whether AMD's valuation premium can last.
