Micron (NASDAQ:MU) drops $89 billion on Ford contract worries

7 July 2026
Micron Technology, Inc. was active in Tuesday’s regular Nasdaq session. According to Nasdaq’s 2026 calendar, markets close for Independence Day on July 3, not July 7. Regular U.S. trading runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. The stock last traded down $78.10 at $906.65, putting the market cap near $1.038 trillion.

The session low of $892.50 erased about $105.6 billion in value.

S&P 500 gains narrow after hours as Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) drops, Fiserv (NASDAQ:FISV) rises

U.S. stocks climbed Monday, but futures were more muted after the bell. The S&P 500 closed up 0.72% at 7,537.43, Nasdaq added 1.12% to 26,121.16, and the Dow rose 0.29% to 53,055.91. Shares of Broadcom Inc jumped 3.7% after the company and Apple Inc extended their custom-chip agreement through 2031. Even so, S&P 500 decliners led advancers by 1.3-to-1. The latest read came after market close. Out of MarketWatch’s 20 most-active after-hours stocks, 15 barely budged, trading within 0.25% up or down. Rivian was the only name in the group to move more than 1%. That’s notable since the regular session didn’t see much broad strength either. When the index closes high but only a handful of stocks move, the

Archer Aviation surge puts Wall Street price targets to the test after Russell shift

Archer Aviation Inc. shares rose early Monday afternoon, but the bigger question for investors was what happens to the stock’s gains after factoring in dilution now that the electric aircraft company is more involved in Russell value indexes.

Netflix spread grows as Q2 revenue target stays tight

Netflix, Inc. dropped 1.7% to $76.31 around midday Monday, moving lower even as tech traded stronger after the Independence Day break. The Nasdaq 2026 calendar listed U.S. markets closed on July 3 for the holiday, and Monday’s regular session ran from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern. For investors, the real story isn’t the pullback. It’s how close Netflix’s numbers are to Wall Street’s goals. Analysts on Investing.com put Q2 revenue at $12.58 billion, while Netflix guides for $12.574 billion. That’s about a $6 million difference, less than one-tenth of 1%.

Broadcom shares jump on OpenAI move, margin outlook still in focus for AVGO

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) climbs after Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) supply deal eases 2031 revenue risk

Broadcom Inc. traded higher in premarket on Monday after saying it will extend its chip partnership with Apple Inc. through 2031. The new deal makes Broadcom more of a long-term supplier to Apple, aiming at contract length instead of just another AI-chip move. Broadcom will supply a range of custom chips to Apple, which makes up around 20% of Broadcom’s yearly sales, analysts told Reuters. Broadcom was trading at $373.94 in MarketWatch’s delayed quote at 8:45 a.m. EDT, up $13.49 from its $360.45 close. With 4.76 billion shares on the table, that premarket move works out to nearly $64 billion in market cap added before the open.
Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock looks for footing after AI backlog tops market value

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock looks for footing after AI backlog tops market value

Oracle Corporation shares looked ready to bounce in premarket trading on Monday.

The New York Stock Exchange says Friday, July 3, will be its Independence Day holiday in 2026. Trading will resume Monday. Oracle finished the last session at $140.27, down 1.56%. Investing.com quoted Oracle at $143.93 premarket at 08:52:54, up 2.61%.

The stock had dropped 4.26% in regular hours. The premarket rebound clawed back $12.82 of a $23.06 slide, or about 56%, but AMD was still $10.24 below its previous close using this calculation.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:RXRX) beats out biotech funds as filings, spending become focus

Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is outpacing the key biotech ETFs this week ahead of the July 6 reopen. The bigger move came on volume. Shares changed hands 114.1 million times in four sessions.

Broader markets showed a split: the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust dipped 0.13%, but biotech ETFs moved higher.

Super Micro (NASDAQ:SMCI) trails other AI names as shares drop below June sale price

IREN slips after Anthropic buyout focuses attention on 2028 Australia plan

IREN slips after Anthropic buyout focuses attention on 2028 Australia plan

IREN Limited dropped in early afternoon trading Tuesday on the Nasdaq. But the main focus for investors was the company’s AI infrastructure timeline. The stock has been trading on expectations for AI growth. Reports suggest Anthropic is looking to buy in Australia on a quicker timeframe than IREN’s public power rollout. At 1:48 p.m. EDT, shares of IREN traded at $41.70, off 5.0%, putting its market cap around $13.9 billion. Bitcoin edged up 0.7% to $64,055. By 1:53 p.m. EDT, the Nasdaq Composite was down 0.7%.

BlackBerry slides after convertible notes, insider selling hit QNX rally

BlackBerry Limited traded lower Tuesday. But the filings tell more than the daily move. After a rally on earnings, the company’s 2029 convertible notes are now an active capital question. Executive Form 4 stock sales filed post-close Monday were minor compared to the notes issue. At 1:48 p.m. EDT, BlackBerry shares in the U.S. were at $11.265, off 1.0%. The stock traded between $10.68 and $11.50 earlier. It lagged the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, but did a bit better than Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1.
Tvardi Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:TVRD) stock jumps as Phase 1 data puts cash-value biotech under heavy churn

Tvardi Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:TVRD) stock jumps as Phase 1 data puts cash-value biotech under heavy churn

Tvardi Therapeutics, Inc. jumped as much as 89% on Tuesday after the STAT3 drug developer reported Phase 1 data for TTI-109, but the harder market signal was volume. About 53.9 million shares changed hands by early afternoon, equal to 5.7 times the 9.38 million shares outstanding listed in its latest quarterly filing. That churn matters because the stock had been priced below cash before the readout. At Monday’s close of $2.01, Tvardi’s equity value was about $18.9 million. At $2.81, its market value was $26.3 million, only a small premium to the $25.0 million of cash and short-term investments reported at March 31.

Adobe surges while BofA sticks with AI sell call on buyback math

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust was down 0.3%. What matters more to investors right now is cash coming back. Adobe’s market cap stood at around $91.75 billion, according to the latest data. The company’s $25 billion buyback plan, announced in April and going until April 30, 2030, is about 27% of its market cap.

The New York Stock Exchange resumed its regular session after closing July 3 for Independence Day. The selloff spread beyond Joby, but the stock dropped more than the broader market and hovered near electric air taxi rival Archer Aviation Inc.. Shares in Toyota Motor Corporation, which partners with Joby on manufacturing, barely moved.

SkinHealth Systems Inc. surged in busy trading Tuesday after the medical aesthetics company announced its SkinStylus microneedling device got a fresh FDA clearance for periorbital wrinkles.

Chip ETFs traded lower late Tuesday morning in New York, with the hardest fall coming from this year’s top performer, not the ETF with the most Nvidia.

Pfizer Inc. traded up 1.7% at $24.13 as of 11:48 a.m. EDT Tuesday, recovering some ground after Monday’s 2.47% slide to $23.72. The stock’s loss on Monday stood out with the S&P 500 up 0.72% and the Dow up 0.29%, making it a clear underperformer, not just a victim of the broader market. HSBC moved Pfizer to Hold from Buy and slashed its price target to $28 from $32, pointing to less confidence in a near-term re-rating. The firm now gives a 40% probability to market for sigvotatug vedotin, down after a Phase 3 lung cancer miss, and bumped its beta assumption to 0.85, up from 0.78.

Select Medical (NYSE:SEM) last trade ends above buyout as Gulfport takes S&P spot

NYSE was running normal hours at the dateline. July 7 isn’t a scheduled 2026 exchange holiday. Select Medical Holdings Corporation was off the board after being taken private by a group led by Executive Chairman Robert A. Ortenzio, Martin F. Jackson, and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe. The company told the NYSE to halt trading before the open on July 1. The strange thing about the exit was the last print. Select Medical's last quoted price hit $16.51, which is actually a penny above the $16.50 cash merger price. That difference may look tiny, but it matters for event-driven funds: anyone buying at that price paid above the cash-out level, not including fees. Final trade volume was 27.8 million shares,
