Wednesday, April 1, 2026 / No Comments

 

U.S. stocks kicked off the second quarter with another strong session, extending Tuesday’s rally as investors grew cautiously optimistic that tensions in the Middle East may ease. The Nasdaq rose 1.2%, the S&P 500 gained 0.7%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.5%.

While the broader market moved higher, sharp individual stock moves once again dominated trading, with earnings reactions and deal news driving clear winners and losers.

Top Stock Winners

Intel (INTC) : Intel surged nearly 10%, leading the chip sector higher after announcing a $14 billion deal to buy back a stake in its Ireland manufacturing facility. The move signals confidence in its long-term growth and boosted sentiment across semiconductors.

Boeing (BA) : Boeing climbed 5.5% to top Dow gainers after securing a Pentagon agreement to ramp up production of missile components, highlighting strong defense demand.

Western Digital (WDC) & Sandisk (SNDK) : Memory stocks rebounded sharply, leading S&P 500 gainers as investors rotated back into beaten-down AI-related names.

Dave & Buster’s Entertainment (PLAY) : Shares soared 16% after management issued a highly confident outlook despite weak earnings, with strong free cash flow expectations driving optimism.

Eli Lilly (LLY) : Lilly rose about 5% after receiving FDA approval for a new weight-loss pill, strengthening its position in the booming obesity drug market.

Top Stock Losers

Nike (NKE) : Nike plunged more than 15%, making it the day’s biggest laggard after warning of declining sales and ongoing weakness in China. The stock fell to its lowest level since 2014.

RH (RH) : RH tumbled roughly 19% after missing earnings expectations and issuing a weak outlook, raising concerns about demand in a high-rate environment.

Lamb Weston (LW) : Shares dropped around 9%, weighing on the consumer staples sector amid broader weakness in food-related stocks.

Texas Pacific Land (TPL) : One of the biggest energy decliners, falling nearly 7% as oil prices pulled back, dragging the sector lower.

U.S. stocks staged a powerful rebound Tuesday, with investors betting that tensions in the Middle East could ease, but the surge wasn’t enough to rescue what has been the market’s weakest quarter in years.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared more than 1,100 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq jumped 2.9% and 3.8%, respectively. Despite the strong finish, all three major indexes ended the first quarter in the red, weighed down by volatility tied to the ongoing Iran conflict and rising energy prices.

Apellis Pharmaceuticals (APLS)

Apellis shares more than doubled up 135% after agreeing to be acquired by Biogen in a deal valued at $5.6 billion, making it one of the day’s most dramatic movers.

Marvell Technology (MRVL)

Marvell led the market higher, surging nearly 13% after announcing a major partnership with Nvidia, including a $2 billion investment. The deal strengthens Marvell’s role in AI infrastructure and sent strong bullish signals across the semiconductor space.

Nvidia (NVDA)

Shares of the AI chip giant climbed 5.6% on the back of the Marvell deal, reinforcing its dominance in next-generation computing and data center growth.

Meta Platforms (META)

Meta was the standout among big tech, jumping 6.7% as investors piled back into growth stocks following recent weakness.

Snap (SNAP)

Snap skyrocketed 15% after activist investor Irenic Capital revealed a stake and outlined a turnaround plan. The proposal includes restructuring initiatives and a sharper focus on AI-driven advertising.

📉 Top Stock Losers

McCormick & Co. (MKC)

Shares fell over 6% after announcing a major merger with Unilever’s food division. Investors appeared cautious about integration risks and deal structure.

Unilever (UL)

Unilever dropped about 5% on the same news, as markets digested the implications of the newly formed $65 billion food conglomerate.

Constellation Energy (CEG)

The stock slid 6% after issuing weaker-than-expected earnings guidance, raising concerns about future profitability.

Biogen (BIIB)

Despite acquiring Apellis, Biogen shares declined 4.5%, reflecting investor skepticism over the cost and near-term earnings impact of the deal.
