Good morning, traders. Happy Thursday, September 26th, rain was falling on Wall Street, but the market was climbing overall: the S&P 500 opened at a new trading high, but breaking news this morning was stirring things up.
My name is Kevin Travers; here stonks and stories mooving the U.S. stock market today.
$Micron Technology (MU.US)$shares flew 17% after the firm reported Q4 earnings Wednesday night that came in mixed, but projected 2025 Q1 revenue above the range estimated by analysts. The firm reported adjusted EPS of $1.18 vs estimates of $1.12. For the next quarter in its fiscal 2025, the firm expects revenue of $8.5B-$8.9B vs estimates of $8.3B. It was the highest on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.
$Southwest Airlines (LUV.US)$climbed 9% after the firm raised its Q3 revenue forecast and predicted next year's overall earnings would come in higher. The firm pledged it would begin charging for seat assignments in 2026.
$Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US)$fell 13% after a WSJ exclusive that it faces a Justice Department probe. The firm faced accounting and reporting issues this quarter after a short report, and the WSJ said the firm faces an investigation concerning the same issues. The stock hit a circuit breaker as it fell.
$Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.US)$jumped 4% after a Bloomberg exclusive report that the firm has reached a new checkpoint in its seven-year attempt to raise its Federal Reserve asset cap. Currently, the bank is capped at $1.7T, a level set in 2017, set by Janet Yellen to attempt to force the bank to address compliance and consumer complaints.
Within industries,$Singles' Day Sales (LIST2998.US)$, a list created by moomo that tracks companies that sell during the 'Singles Day' November 11th sale event in China, shot up 4%.$PDD Holdings (PDD.US)$climbed 8%, growing alongside$Alibaba (BABA.US)$climbing 8%, and$JD.com (JD.US)$led the pack up a whopping 12%. The stocks jumped after Alibaba said it would pour $5.7B into its holiday sale plans. The stocks followed climbs earlier this week after the Chinese Central Bank lowered reserve requirements, a type of economic stimulus.
In Macro, investors sorted through Q2 GDP updates, showing the economy grew at a rate of 3% in Q2. Initial jobless claims came in at 218k, in line with estimates.
Investors also heard from Fed Speakers Bowman and Powell, but neither spoke directly about rates or policy.
Yesterday, users said Mexican cars were not their top priority, and that a recession in the U.S. would be hard to hide before an election cycle.
