Snap shares dropped about 3.5% on Friday as concerns mounted over slowing ad demand and user growth. Wells Fargo and UBS both cut their price targets to $5, citing softer advertising trends, geopolitical pressure, and decelerating momentum in the Snapchat+ subscription business. Analyst sentiment has clustered around a cautious consensus, with Goldman Sachs and DA Davidson also holding neutral views and price targets in the $5-$6 range, leaving limited expected upside from cu

Robinhood Markets fell 5.7% on Friday, closing near $100 as a broad Nasdaq selloff and a pullback in cryptocurrency prices weighed on retail-brokerage stocks. Rival Webull dropped roughly 6% in sympathy, with investors trimming exposure to names tied to trading activity and token prices. The decline reflects familiar pressure points: crypto volatility has dented transaction-based revenue, with first-quarter crypto trading revenue down 47% year over year to $134 million, while

Brent crude surged about 4.6% on Friday to close at $88.10 per barrel, with WTI topping $79, after fighting in the Persian Gulf escalated sharply. Kuwait said Iran attacked a power and water desalination plant, and a tanker was struck by a projectile off the coast of Oman as Iran continued targeting civilian shipping near the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command said it completed a sixth consecutive night of strikes against Iranian military targets, including logistics infr

JPMorgan lowered its price target on Tyson Foods to $65 from $71 on Friday, as the protein giant navigates competitive pressures and ongoing legal scrutiny. Shares traded near $57.83. Tyson reported $13.7 billion in quarterly sales but continues to face class-action lawsuits over beef pricing practices, an overhang that has kept some investors cautious despite the company's scale advantages across chicken, beef, and pork. For income-oriented holders, the stock's valuation res

Silver rebounded 2.8% to about $59.95 an ounce on Friday, reclaiming the $60 level a day after its first break below that mark this year, while gold rose 1% to roughly $4,017 per troy ounce. The recovery came as the 10-year Treasury yield eased to 4.53% and the dollar index slipped below 101, lifting demand for dollar-priced bullion. Strategists characterized the recent pullback — gold remains down 28% from its January peak — as a healthy correction within a longer bull marke

Melius Research downgraded American Airlines from Buy to Hold even while raising its price target to $19, citing strong demand and decent cost control but warning that elevated capacity growth combined with volatile fuel prices threatens ticket pricing power and already thin margins. The stock has faded from the $18.50–$18.80 range in late June to a recent close near $15.67, a pullback of roughly 16% that reflects growing caution across the airline group as fuel costs bite in

FuboTV shares climbed nearly 10% to around $10 after the live-TV streaming provider announced a leadership change. Alisa Bowen took over as CEO on July 10, replacing co-founder David Gandler, who led the company through its 11-year expansion from startup to public sports-streaming platform. Bowen arrives with a decade of leadership experience at Walt Disney, most recently as president of the Disney+ streaming service — a background investors read as a signal that Fubo intends

Spot silver dropped below $60 an ounce for the first time this year, touching six-month lows in a slide of more than 9% driven by a hawkish Federal Reserve outlook and a strengthening U.S. dollar. The metal had traded as high as $61.63 earlier in July before the selloff accelerated. The move weighed on silver miners. Hecla Mining, the largest silver producer in the U.S. and Canada, has also been contending with production issues at its Keno Hill operation in the Yukon, where

A selloff in chipmakers dragged Wall Street lower Thursday as investors questioned whether massive artificial-intelligence investments can justify lofty valuations. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.6%, and futures pointed to further weakness Friday, with Asian markets set to open lower. The pressure extended after the close, where Netflix fell more than 8% in extended trading after forecasting a second straight quarter of slowing sales growth. The tech weakness adds to a rotation und

DraftKings shares moved higher after regulators cleared the way for the company to bring Wall Street-style trading mechanics to sports betting. The approach moves beyond fixed odds, letting users adjust positions continuously in real time as games unfold — a structural shift toward exchange-like markets. Traders are also watching the company's DKeX prediction-markets push, which extends the platform beyond traditional sportsbook offerings. The company is meanwhile expanding i

United Airlines reported second-quarter results ahead of Wall Street estimates, posting adjusted earnings of $1.99 per share versus the $1.88 expected, on revenue of $17.67 billion. Despite the beat on both lines, shares slipped roughly 4% in after-hours trading Wednesday. The culprit was fuel. United said higher fuel prices could add nearly $6 billion to its expenses this year compared with what it projected at the start of 2026, and its second-quarter fuel bill rose 84% fro

Freeport-McMoRan shares climbed in early trading this week, rising 1.1% pre-market to around $60.60, as a rebound in copper prices provided a direct tailwind to the world's largest publicly traded copper producer. Copper futures rose to $6.31 per pound, up 1.25%, as production pressures in Chile — including water shortages, lower ore grades, unplanned maintenance and labor disputes — tightened the global supply outlook. Tariff-driven dislocations have added to the squeeze on

Super Micro Computer shares fell below $27 on Tuesday as investors reassessed risks tied to the AI infrastructure buildout. The stock traded between $27.32 and $28.40 during the session and now sits about 56% below its 52-week high. Concerns center on potential shareholder dilution, intensifying competition from Chinese server makers, and regulatory uncertainty stemming from a Taiwanese investigation into semiconductor export restrictions. The company's most recent results sh

SpaceX shares fell for a fourth straight session Wednesday, briefly dropping below their $135 initial public offering price for the first time since last month's record-setting debut. The stock declined as much as 2.9% to $132.15. The pullback marks a sharp reversal for one of the most anticipated listings in market history. SpaceX raised a record $86 billion in its IPO and saw shares surge past $225 in the first month of trading, briefly pushing its market capitalization to

Telecom stocks came under heavy pressure this week, with Verizon falling about 7% and AT&T touching a 52-week low as investors weighed growing competition from SpaceX's Starlink and converging cable rivals. AT&T closed near $21.43 on Tuesday and is down roughly 20% over the past year. Analyst sentiment has soured. Bernstein cut price targets across the sector citing Starlink's competitive threat, Barclays lowered its AT&T target to $24 from $26, and Wells Fargo initiated cove

Delta Air Lines reported second-quarter adjusted revenue of $17.7 billion, up 14% year over year and a company record, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.56 — topping Wall Street estimates of $1.48. Despite the beat, shares traded lower as investors sold the news. The carrier absorbed the highest quarterly fuel expense in its history at $4.4 billion, up nearly $2 billion from a year earlier. Even so, management reinstated full-year 2026 guidance, projecting adjusted EPS o

Brent crude surged to $86.99 per barrel on July 14, up nearly $9 in a day and the highest level in a month, as renewed hostilities between the United States and Iran entered a third consecutive day and dimmed hopes for normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Energy stocks rallied on the move. Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Marathon Petroleum bounced back, with the Vanguard Energy ETF hitting its highest level since June 12. BP and Shell shares also jumped after the US said it

The June Consumer Price Index rose 3.5% year over year, below economists' expectations of 3.8% and down from 4.2% the month before. Prices fell 0.4% from May — the largest monthly decline since April 2020. Core inflation was flat on the month, putting its 12-month rate at 2.6%. Markets responded quickly: odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike at the July meeting dropped to 17% from 42% the day before, according to CME FedWatch, though traders still see roughly 60% odds of a hike

Analysts are lining up behind Robinhood Markets ahead of its second-quarter results, due July 29. Goldman Sachs raised its price target to $121 after record June activity across event contracts, options, and equities, plus a sharp jump in crypto trading. Deutsche Bank lifted its target from $105 to $113, and Mizuho called the firm a potential first true global hyperscaler of online brokerages. The bullishness follows Robinhood's unveiling of Robinhood Chain, a Layer 2 blockch

Bank of America reported second-quarter net income of $9.1 billion, up 27% from a year earlier, with diluted earnings per share of $1.21 — a 34% increase that beat the $1.12 consensus by 8%. Revenue climbed 15% to $31.6 billion, ahead of the $30.67 billion forecast. Growth was broad-based: higher net interest income, strong investment banking fees, and record trading performance led the gains. Average deposits rose 8% to $652 billion, while average loans and leases grew 7% to
