Regencell Bioscience stock rebound leaves May share buyers deep underwater

Regencell Bioscience stock rebound leaves May share buyers deep underwater

Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited jumped on Wednesday, but the sharper investor signal sat below the one-day gain: the stock closed at $8.03, far under the $20.30 price paid in a registered-direct offering that closed six weeks ago. Google Finance showed the stock up 31.86% on the day, with a $6.00 low, an $8.78 high and 2.55 million shares traded. That put the day’s volume at about 13.5 times the 189,360-share average shown by Google Finance. The low-to-high swing was 46.3%, based on the same data. That is the point for investors: a company quoted near $4 billion in market value moved hard on volume equal to roughly half of 1% of its 495.47 million shares outstanding.

The Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.66% and the PHLX semiconductor index slid 6.3% as chip names pulled the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower, according to Reuters. Amazon’s gain was a rare positive, even as Meta Platforms Inc. climbed on talk of an AI cloud push.

Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS) slides as neocloud contract bump gets tested

Nebius Group N.V. dropped sharply after Nasdaq's regular close, but the stock is still up 173.79% for the year. Trading volume was 175% of the 65-day average. MarketWatch put short interest at 50.93 million shares as of June 15, about 25.21% of the float. That kind of short interest can drive swings both ways, but it didn't stop the fall on Wednesday. Meta Platforms Inc. is working on a cloud business to sell its extra AI computing power, Reuters said, citing Bloomberg News. The plan is still being developed and could shift, according to the report. Meta didn’t comment. The move could put Meta in the supplier camp for companies that rent GPU capacity.
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
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.
AT&T shares dip; SpaceX pressure raises yield concerns

AT&T shares dip; SpaceX pressure raises yield concerns

AT&T Inc. dropped on Wednesday as T-Mobile US Inc. gained. The moves show investors are zeroing in on AT&T’s cash strength and dividend, especially if satellite-powered mobile rivals force down wireless prices in the U.S. The selling hasn’t been just a blip from a single negative story. Barron’s said Wednesday that Verizon Communications Inc., AT&T and T-Mobile together have dropped $43.65 billion in market cap, with traders worried that SpaceX might shake up the U.S. telecom sector.

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) still trades at a 37% premium despite stock slide ahead of July results

Intel Corporation dropped steeper than the rest of chip names Wednesday, losing 7.7% to $128.88 just before 1 p.m. EDT. Shares swung between $127.98 and $138.89 and were less than $1 off the session low. Based on live price and market cap, the drop from Tuesday’s close wiped away about $54.7 billion in equity value. The comparison was intentional. The wider market was moving with Intel, not against it.

Datavault AI (NASDAQ:DVLT) gains 21% on $700 million minerals push, but $1 Nasdaq gap holds

The company said it is teaming up with Patriot Strategic Metals LLC on a planned strategic minerals platform with an initial Phase I program of up to $700 million. Shares stayed well below the $1 close needed for a Nasdaq cure.

Walmart stock sinks, wiping $42 billion, raises questions for ad-media value

Walmart Inc. lost 4.7% to $107.99 in New York trading late Wednesday morning, wiping out around $42 billion in market cap from the previous close. That loss is big. The stock is priced like a premium growth play, and even this pullback didn’t change that for some investors. Earlier, MarketWatch listed Walmart’s 52-week range as $94.23 to $135.16. At last check, shares traded roughly 20% under that high. Market cap stood near $864 billion. The stock’s trailing P/E was 37.9.

Meta (NASDAQ:META) cloud move rattles CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS) as $15 billion AI compute deal shifts to risk

Meta’s shift in cloud spending hit CoreWeave and Nebius after the $15 billion AI compute backstop turned into a risk. New York, July 1, 2026, 11:03 EDT Meta Platforms jumped nearly 10% Wednesday after Bloomberg News said, via Reuters, that the company is starting a cloud business to sell surplus AI computing power. CoreWeave was down 14% and Nebius Group dropped 16% as of 10:50 a.m. in New York, according to current data.

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) cloud report sends shares higher, weighs on CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS)

Shares of Meta Platforms rallied Wednesday following a Bloomberg News report that the Facebook owner is planning to launch a cloud service, selling extra AI computing power. That move could help address investor concerns about high AI costs by adding a new source of revenue. Reuters, quoting the Bloomberg story, said it could not verify the report, and Meta did not reply to a Reuters request for comment. U.S. cash equities traded as of the dateline. At 9:46 a.m. EDT, Meta jumped $38.17, or 6.8%, to $601.46. CoreWeave was down $10.88, or 10.9%, at $88.66. Nebius Group dropped $34.04, or 12.3%, to $242.13.

Intel heads toward $646 billion mark following 9% chip slide

Intel Corporation goes into its July earnings priced more as a foundry and AI rebound play than as an earnings trade for the quarter. Intel shares finished Wednesday at $127.02, down 9.03%, trading around 110.8 million shares. The decline erased Tuesday’s 6.01% jump and put the stock 3.6% under Monday’s close, a smaller two-day move than the Wednesday fall alone. Historical data had Intel at $139.63 on June 30 and $127.02 on July 1.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX) faces short pressure ahead of Nasdaq-100 entry

Space Exploration Technologies Corp is in focus for a squeeze going into Thursday, and it’s drawing more eyes than the index-driven buying expected next week. As of Wednesday’s close, the projected Nasdaq-100 passive buy adds up to roughly 27 million shares. That covers just 14% of the current short interest. The stock is still trading about 17% above the $135 IPO price, but since the debut, most of the action is now around the float. Short interest hit 196 million shares, or roughly 31% of the free float, as of Tuesday, according to Ortex. That was up from 83 million shares, or 13%, just a week ago. “It’s extraordinary for a stock that has been public less than a month,”

Traders are watching for a jobs report that could shift rate hike bets ahead of a three-day break. Nasdaq’s premarket goes from 4:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. ET, and the regular session opens at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. ET. Traders didn’t focus on the S&P 500.

Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) shares surge $4.6 billion on AI deal before firm books licensing revenue

Reddit, Inc. heads into Thursday’s New York premarket with investors looking at the numbers: shares jumped 13.7% Wednesday, closing at $197.42. That move adds about $4.6 billion in equity value, based on MarketBeat’s listed $38.01 billion market cap. In its March-quarter filing, Reddit reported $120.6 million in performance obligations tied mostly to long-term content licensing contracts longer than a year. The gap matters as the stock is trading on future AI data renewal hopes, not what Reddit has already signed. If the new licensing deals don’t come in higher, investors are just getting a high-priced ad stock growing fast.

That drop is part of a $46 billion combined slide for AT&T, Verizon Communications Inc., and T-Mobile US Inc.. For AT&T, losing that much in market value is about the same as two full years of 2026

That put the day’s volume at about 13.5 times the 189,360-share average shown by Google Finance. The low-to-high swing was 46.3%, based on the same data. That is the point for investors: a company quoted near $4 billion in market value moved hard on volume equal to roughly half of 1% of its 495.47 million shares outstanding.
