Top Stock Movers – June 12, 2025
U.S. markets showed little overall direction Thursday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq inching higher while the Dow slipped, as a second inflation reading this week the Producer Price Index (PPI) came in cooler than expected. The report added fuel to investor hopes for interest rate cuts later this year.
Oracle (ORCL) topped the leaderboard in the S&P 500 after reporting quarterly results that exceeded Wall Street expectations. The tech giant also raised its outlook, pointing to robust demand for its cloud infrastructure offerings.
Boeing (BA) was sharply lower after a tragic crash involving one of its 787 Dreamliners in India that killed over 200 passengers, marking another setback for the embattled aerospace company.
In other major movers:
CureVac (CVAC) shares soared after agreeing to a $1.25 billion all-stock buyout by fellow German biotech firm BioNTech (BNTX). The acquisition comes as both firms aim to expand their presence in cancer treatment research. BioNTech’s ADRs were little changed in U.S. trading.
Newmont (NEM) and other major gold producers rallied, benefiting from a rise in gold prices, which hit their highest levels in over a month. Traders cited growing expectations for looser monetary policy.
Oxford Industries (OXM), parent company of Tommy Bahama, sank after slashing its forward guidance. The firm cited weaker consumer sentiment and the drag of renewed tariffs.
GameStop (GME) tumbled following its announcement of a $1.75 billion convertible bond offering, raising concerns over shareholder dilution and the company's ongoing turnaround efforts.
