Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Stocks exposed to the US housing market plummeted Wednesday as investors assessed grim outlooks from companies like home improvement retailer Lowe’s Cos Inc., and weighed the lack of a housing policy update during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech. The S&P composite homebuilder index shed as much as 5.2%, the most since last April’s tariff-related market meltdown. The declines were led by Green Brick Partners Inc., Lennar Corp., Champion Homes Inc., Dream Finders Homes Inc., Installed Building Products Inc., DR Horton Inc. and TopBuild Corp. Mortgage-exposed companies like Rocket Cos Inc. fell as well.
- Netflix (NFLX) shares are rallying on Wednesday, as investors continue to monitor the bidding war between the company and Paramount Skydance for Warner Bros. Discovery.
- Nvidia is helping to lead the U.S. stock market higher on Wednesday, ahead of the chip company's highly anticipated profit report coming after trading ends for the day. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% and recovered its losses from earlier in the week, when stocks swung sharply as investors tried to separate potential losers from winners in the artificial-intelligence boom.
