U.S. stocks closed higher Thursday, extending a multi-day rally as easing geopolitical tensions and steady inflation data supported investor sentiment. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 notched their seventh straight gains, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average turned positive for the year.

Below is a breakdown of the session’s biggest movers shaping the market narrative.

Top Winners

Amazon (AMZN) Shares surged +5.5%, leading gains among mega-cap tech. Renewed appetite for growth stocks and improving sentiment around consumer resilience helped drive the rally.

Intel (INTC) Up nearly +5%, boosted by an expanded AI chip partnership with Alphabet’s Google. The deal strengthens Intel’s position in cloud and AI infrastructure and adds to a string of recent strategic wins.

Constellation Brands (STZ) Jumped +8.5% despite reporting declining sales. Investors appeared to look past near-term weakness, focusing instead on pricing power and long-term brand strength.

BlackBerry (BB) Climbed +9% after posting stronger-than-expected earnings and upbeat revenue forecasts. The cybersecurity firm’s growth outlook signaled a successful turnaround.

Brown-Forman (BF.B) Soared +15% on renewed takeover speculation. Reports of acquisition interest from major spirits companies fueled investor enthusiasm.

Notable Losers

Microsoft (MSFT) The only major “Magnificent Seven” stock to finish lower. While losses were modest, the dip stood out in an otherwise strong session for big tech.

Tesla (TSLA) Shares remained under pressure and are still down significantly year-to-date. News of a potential lower-cost SUV failed to spark immediate investor optimism amid broader concerns about margins and strategy.
