Applied Materials stock jumps as AMAT rally outruns Wall Street’s average target

Applied Materials shares surge $54 billion, buyback effect now smaller

Applied Materials heads into Tuesday with a buyback issue of its own making. After shares jumped 10.82% Monday, each dollar left in its repurchase plan now has less impact on earnings per share.

The math is rough—market cap is from the close and doesn't use a fully diluted

Netflix Stock Gets $25 Billion Buyback Boost After Warner Bros Deal Collapse

Netflix shares underperform Nasdaq as NBCUniversal tie-up chatter fails to move premium

Netflix, Inc. lagged the tech rally on Monday. Shares finished at $73.78, off 0.04%. The Nasdaq Composite added 2.1% and the S&P 500 rose 1.2%. The spread came as traders looked to media merger chatter, with buyers chasing likely acquisition targets and betting on cable deals, but skipping over Netflix. This is worth noting as Netflix is acting more like an earnings trade than a name following the index bounce. The Nasdaq moved up 2% but Netflix stayed pinned near its low end for the year.

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) AI revenue now over half of forecast, shares still under pressure in June

Broadcom Inc. says AI chip revenue should hit $16.0 billion in its fiscal Q3, making up about 54% of expected revenue, up from 49% in the quarter ended May 3. Still, shares have stayed weak through June, down around 20% for the month, according to Benzinga. Broadcom's split is a signal the company is shifting away from its mixed chip-software setup, pushing harder into AI custom chips. CEO Tan said, “The momentum continues,” noting Q2 AI semiconductor revenue jumped 143% to $10.8 billion. CFO Kirsten Spears told investors operating leverage held up, with adjusted EBITDA reaching 69% of revenue for Q2 and guidance just under that at 68% for Q3.

Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) drops below February financing level after surge in trading volume

The U.S. market was closed Sunday, so Friday was the last regular session. Joby Aviation, Inc. finished at $8.83. Shares slid all week even though the company posted no new press releases.

Open USD will give businesses free minting and redemption with no caps on volume, and the group will share reserve profits with partners after a management fee.
Transocean (NYSE:RIG) dips as debt costs cloud backlog

Transocean (NYSE:RIG) dips as debt costs cloud backlog

Transocean Ltd. fell Tuesday as most oil-service stocks stayed up. The offshore driller has a big backlog, but the shares keep acting like a leveraged play on daily rig rates and crude volatility. RIG traded down 0.7% at $5.005 by 13:03 EDT in New York, close to its session low of $5.00. The VanEck Oil Services ETF edged up 0.1%. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust gained 0.8%. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund was flat.
Grab shares climb after market downplays impact from Indonesia fee change

Grab shares climb after market downplays impact from Indonesia fee change

Grab Holdings Limited climbed in New York on Tuesday. Investors took stock of the Indonesia driver-fee change and seemed to land on a real cost for Grab, though not as big as early reads of the rule implied. The stock was last at $3.855, up 11.5 cents, or 3.1% from the prior close, as of 12:46 p.m. EDT. Volume was 26.9 million shares. Shares moved ahead of Invesco QQQ Trust, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust over the same stretch.

Kratos (NASDAQ:KTOS) jumps; backlog mix shifts away from drones

Kratos showed up on Barron's premarket list of stocks up at least 7% as AeroVironment led gains among defense names. By late morning, Kratos was still up, outpacing the SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF. But it trailed AeroVironment, which saw a bigger jump on earnings news.

CELZ jumps before FDA update as traders weigh dilution math

Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. shares surged Tuesday on Nasdaq. The Phoenix biotech pulled an equity-and-warrant registration statement that was big versus its share count. Timing is key here. New York was in regular trading hours at the dateline. Nasdaq’s standard U.S. market hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Its 2026 holiday calendar points to July 3 as the next market holiday, not June 30.

SoFi stock lags Nasdaq after small-business loan launch as volume math sets high bar

SoFi Technologies, Inc. fell in midday trade on Tuesday after the digital lender launched small-business loans, a product push that adds a new credit line but does not yet answer the stock’s harder question: how much more loan volume can SoFi add without leaning too much on its balance sheet. The shares were down 1.8% at $17.87 at 11:50 a.m. EDT, versus a 1.3% gain for Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 and a 0.6% rise for SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. SoFi traded between $17.72 and $18.33, with volume near 23.9 million shares.

QXO, Inc. fell 3.5% to $17.19 around 11:50 a.m. EDT, after touching $19.50 earlier in the session, as the final election data for its TopBuild Corp. deal shifted attention from approval risk to share supply risk. TopBuild was down 3.5% at $347.35. Builders FirstSource, Inc., a building-products peer, was down 0.6%, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust was up 0.6%. The sharp tell was in TopBuild’s price. The stock-only consideration of 20.200 QXO shares was worth $347.24 at QXO’s late-morning price, almost the same as TopBuild’s market price. The prorated package for TopBuild holders that elected cash was worth about $425.24, made up of $249.71 in cash and 10.211 QXO shares.

707 Cayman Holdings share activity overshoots post-split total after director’s Nasdaq filing

707 Cayman Holdings Limited stock surged more than threefold Tuesday after the firm said it added Robin Hoksnes Karlsen to its board as executive director.

Ondas stock rises as resale block tests defense-order rally

Ondas Inc. rose on Tuesday, but the cleaner trade in the stock may be in the share math, not the latest drone headline. The stock was up 3.4% at $8.295 at 10:49 a.m. EDT, after touching $8.80 earlier in the session. Volume was 28.2 million shares, already heavy enough to make the June 26 resale registration less daunting than the headline number first looks.

Nasdaq futures bounce ahead of open; tech protection costs remain elevated

Nasdaq paces quarter-end advance as rally faces thin breadth

U.S. stocks moved up Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite out front as the quarter wound down. But under the surface, market breadth was negative. More stocks fell than rose, despite gains in the main indexes. As of 10:08 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was little changed at 52,186.46. The S&P 500 added 0.34% to 7,465.39. The Nasdaq advanced 0.76% to 26,011.87. Decliners outnumbered advancers on the NYSE by 1.33-to-1, and by 1.29-to-1 on Nasdaq. Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors were lower. “Investors can't see an end in sight to this bull run,” said David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation. Brian Levitt, chief global market strategist at Invesco, said tech went through “a period of June
EchoStar drops as Dish DBS bankruptcy report comes up against June 30 convertible note deadline

EchoStar drops as Dish DBS bankruptcy report comes up against June 30 convertible note deadline

EchoStar Corporation traded down 1.5% to $99.28 after opening, as Dish DBS bankruptcy chatter took a bite out of the stock. EchoStar, which dropped its SATS ticker for ECHO on June 24, also heads into the last day for investors to convert its 2030 convertible notes on Tuesday. The numbers are based on trades at about 9:48 to 9:49 a.m. EDT. EchoStar trailed QQQ by around 2.2 percentage points and was about 0.8 point behind the communications ETF. That's a narrow spread for a stock that had a bankruptcy event reported in the sector.
Redwire shares advance as Taiwan drone deal prompts new look at $500M stock sale

Redwire shares advance as Taiwan drone deal prompts new look at $500M stock sale

Redwire Corporation jumped 4.4% to $12.21 in early New York trading Tuesday. The move came after the space and defense company said it won a deal to deliver its Penguin Mk2.5 VTOL uncrewed aircraft system to the Taiwan Coast Guard through Taiwan Color Optics. Redwire didn’t say how much the contract was worth. For investors, the main signal is the stock price — Redwire’s funding dynamics seem to be shifting more quickly than its contract news. The stock moved in a $1.21 range during the day, or 10.4% of where it closed before. That swing was much bigger than what was seen in iShares Russell 2000 ETF and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust early on, according to the latest quotes.

Centessa (NASDAQ:CNTA) marks Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) CVR at 28 cents per dollar in last trade

As of 10:03 a.m. in New York, U.S. regular trading was open, following Nasdaq’s 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET session, but Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc had no new trades. Nasdaq’s CNTA market page showed no data, with the last price still at $40.50 from June 24 UTC. The last price is the one that counts now. Eli Lilly and Company is paying $38 in cash and a non-transferable CVR that could be worth as much as $9 a share. Based on CNTA’s last trade, the market valued that CVR at $2.50 before the ADS halted.

Clearwater Analytics (NYSE:CWAN) ends with 1-cent spread following $8.4B deal

Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. closed out on the NYSE with its last trade at $24.56 on June 24, just a penny above the $24.55-per-share deal price from Permira and Warburg Pincus’s investor group in the $8.4 billion all-cash buyout. The company later announced its Class A shares have stopped trading. The one-cent difference made up 0.04%, a tiny spread for a software stock that spent months hovering near deal terms. At the take-private price, Clearwater’s valuation came to about 9.6 times its $872 million in annualized recurring revenue for March 31, according to company data and a calculation from reported numbers.

Freshworks (NASDAQ:FRSH) stock: Russell additions put buyback math back in focus

Freshworks (NASDAQ:FRSH) stock: Russell additions put buyback math back in focus

Freshworks Inc enters Tuesday’s session with a new index tag and a buyback big enough to change the per-share math if management keeps using it. The stock closed Monday at $10.21 and was quoted at $10.15 in premarket trade at 8:55 a.m. EDT, MarketScreener data showed. The NYSE holiday calendar lists the next U.S. market closure as July 3 for Independence Day observed. The tape was heavier than a normal Freshworks session. Yahoo data showed Monday volume of 52,973,675 shares against average volume of 13,964,630, about 3.8 times the usual level. That volume came as index notices from S&P Capital IQ showed additions to Russell 2000 Value and Russell 2000 Value-Defensive indexes.

Verizon (NYSE:VZ) sinks as 6.4% yield and BT move come up against Starlink

Verizon Communications Inc. started trading Tuesday in New York with investors focusing more on the company’s competitive risk than on its international deal with BT Group Plc. U.S. cash markets weren’t open yet in New York. The NYSE lists its core hours as 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, with its next 2026 closure for Independence Day observed on July 3, not June 30.

Unicycive slides as FDA delay, dilution weigh premarket

Unicycive slides as FDA delay, dilution weigh premarket

Unicycive Therapeutics, Inc. dropped in premarket trading Tuesday after the FDA denied approval for its kidney-disease drug again. Investors are now weighing how much of the stock’s value rests on that asset, net of cash. Nasdaq is open for trading on Tuesday, with standard hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.

Jack in the Box (NASDAQ:JACK) pops after Russell Microcap move triggers squeeze

Jack in the Box Inc. gained 9.22% to $18.13 in premarket trade at 9:05 a.m. EDT, just before the Nasdaq's regular 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. hours. JACK jumped 20.20% Monday. Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday calendar leaves out June 30. The number to watch is the short-interest lag. As of June 15, the last reported short position stood at 6.72 million shares, or 40.17% of the float. On Monday, 3.65 million shares traded, about 54% of that short figure. But investors will have to wait until July 10 for FINRA’s June 30 short-interest update.
Strategy to sell bitcoin gives room as MSTR buyback lags new shares

Strategy to sell bitcoin gives room as MSTR buyback lags new shares

Strategy Inc has set up a controlled way to sell bitcoin, but the big question for investors is how far the company will go with dilution as it discusses buybacks. The board's plan, out Monday, allows bitcoin sales, raising cash reserves, and buybacks of as much as $1 billion in both common and preferred shares. A number traders watch is the gap between new buyback headlines and last week’s share sales. Strategy sold 12.67 million MSTR shares for $1.152 billion net in the week ending June 28, according to a June 29 filing. The company did not buy any bitcoin in that span and still had $24.26 billion left it could raise through selling Class A common stock.
Saks emerges from bankruptcy, Exemplar trims debt as vendor risks return to spotlight

Saks emerges from bankruptcy, Exemplar trims debt as vendor risks return to spotlight

Exemplar Luxury Group, previously Saks Global, has exited bankruptcy after closing stores and cutting debt. The company now has a simpler balance sheet, but what happens next will depend on how vendors respond. The reworked Saks remains tied to wholesale, even as top luxury brands push to control inventory and their floor space. Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman are all owned by the company, which is private. But its restructuring is important for luxury suppliers like LVMH, Kering, Amazon.com and Macy’s Inc. Macy’s owns Bloomingdale’s.
