Top Stock Movers – June 02, 2025

Monday, June 2, 2025 / No Comments

U.S. stocks were mixed at midday Monday as fresh trade tensions with China and new White House tariff proposals stirred market volatility. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5%, the S&P 500 dipped 0.1%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq managed a 0.2% gain.

Automakers Sink on Tariff Talk

Shares of the “Big Three” U.S. automakers: Ford (F), General Motors (GM), and Stellantis (STLA) fell sharply after former President Donald Trump announced plans late Friday to double tariffs on steel imports to 50%. The move, he claimed, was in response to China “totally violating” the trade agreement reached in Geneva last month.

In retaliation, China accused the U.S. of breaching the deal and hinted at potential countermeasures, rekindling concerns over a full-blown trade war.

Steel Stocks Jump

While automakers took a hit, domestic steel producers soared on the tariff news. Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF), Steel Dynamics (STLD), and Nucor (NUE) all posted strong gains as investors bet on rising steel prices and demand for U.S.-produced steel.

Moderna Rallies on FDA Approval

Moderna (MRNA) surged after the FDA approved its latest COVID-19 vaccine, mNEXSPIKE, for use in adults 65 and older and for those aged 12 to 64 with at least one underlying risk factor. The announcement adds a new revenue stream for the biotech firm as the virus continues to evolve.

Biotech Deal Boosts Blueprint Medicines

Shares of Blueprint Medicines (BPMC) jumped after Sanofi (SNY) agreed to acquire the Cambridge-based biopharma company in a deal valued up to $9.5 billion, boosting confidence in the M&A pipeline for biotech.

Thursday, May 29, 2025 / No Comments

U.S. markets lost early momentum by midday, with the major indexes turning mixed after a federal trade court ruled against certain tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq held on to modest gains, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged lower.

Big Tech in Focus

Nvidia (NVDA) surged after the chipmaker delivered earnings that beat Wall Street forecasts and issued a strong outlook for continued demand in artificial intelligence (AI). Investors cheered the results, which underscore Nvidia’s dominant position in the AI hardware market.

Fellow AI firm C3.ai (AI) also saw its shares jump sharply. The company topped earnings expectations, citing increased adoption of generative AI solutions, and extended its partnership with energy services giant Baker Hughes (BKR).

Consumer Sector on the Move

Shares of E.l.f. Beauty (ELF) soared as the cosmetics brand reported stronger-than-expected earnings and confirmed the acquisition of skincare company Rhode, founded by Hailey Bieber, in a deal worth up to $1 billion.

On the downside, HP (HPQ) slumped after posting weaker-than-expected results. The PC and printer maker blamed tariffs for the earnings miss and lowered its forward guidance.

Best Buy (BBY) joined HP in warning about tariff impacts. The electronics retailer cut its outlook, sending shares lower. Meanwhile, Starbucks (SBUX) declined following a downgrade from TD Cowen, which flagged concerns about the coffee chain’s profitability.

D.R. Horton's headquarters in Arlington, Texas.

U.S. equities traded lower at midday Wednesday as investors braced for the release of the Federal Reserve's latest meeting minutes and an eagerly anticipated earnings report from chipmaker Nvidia. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posted losses in early afternoon trading.

Homebuilder stocks were among the hardest hit after new data showed mortgage rates climbing to their highest levels since January. Shares of D.R. Horton (DHI), Pulte Group (PHM), and Lennar (LEN) each declined sharply as rising borrowing costs threatened housing demand.

In the tech sector, Okta (OKTA) shares fell after the identity management firm held off on raising its full-year guidance, citing macroeconomic uncertainty despite a strong first quarter.

Meanwhile, GameStop (GME) shares plunged after the company revealed it had spent over $500 million purchasing 4,710 bitcoin, sparking investor concerns over the retailer’s strategic direction.

On the upside, Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) delivered a surprise beat on earnings, sales, and forward guidance, sending its shares surging. The fashion retailer reported strong demand for its Hollister brand, fueling optimism for the rest of the year.

Vail Resorts (MTN) shares rallied after the company announced a leadership shake-up, with former CEO Rob Katz returning to replace Kirsten Lynch.

Elsewhere, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) rose on news that CNN COO David Leavy would step down and return to the parent company, reigniting speculation about strategic changes within the media conglomerate.

Retail and Tech Stocks React to Tariff Delay

AutoZone Misses the Mark

Auto parts retailer AutoZone (AZO) saw its stock tumble after reporting earnings that fell short of expectations. Weaker demand and unfavorable currency shifts contributed to the disappointing results.

Biotech Blow: Rocket Pharmaceuticals Plummets
