American Airlines shares climbed again this week, closing near $15.43 after rising nearly 4% Thursday — a sharp recovery from the July 23 low around $13.31. The rebound follows second-quarter results that topped expectations on both earnings and revenue, driven by more than 16% year-over-year growth across all cabins and regions on upbeat travel demand.

The quarter extended the beverage giant's run of steady year-over-year growth, though commentary around margin pressure drew attention on the 8:30 a.m. ET investor call. Cost inflation and currency effects remain the key watch items for the second

Robinhood Markets reports second-quarter results after Wednesday's closing bell, with Wall Street forecasting earnings of 42 cents per share on revenue of about $1.27 billion — a 28% increase from a year earlier driven by strong equity and options trading. Analysts lean bullish into the print. KeyBanc recently raised its price target to $125 from $100, citing improving fundamentals, though soft crypto volumes, rising costs, and a premium valuation temper the setup. Crypto acc

Revenue came in at $22.83 billion, well ahead of the roughly $21.75 billion consensus. GAAP net income fell to $604 million, or 71 cents per share, from $1.28 billion a year earlier. The decline was driven by $891 million in after-tax transformation charges, primarily employee separation costs tie

The Federal Reserve begins its two-day policy meeting Tuesday in what traders call one of the hardest decisions to handicap in years. Market bets lean toward a hold when the decision lands Wednesday afternoon, but conviction is thin and some see a hike still on the table. Stocks opened the session mixed: Dow futures rose about 123 points while Nasdaq-100 futures fell 0.9% as a semiconductor selloff deepened. A fresh read on consumer confidence at 10 a.m. ET adds another data

Oil prices fell sharply Monday after Iran reportedly said it would suspend attacks as long as the U.S. pause in hostilities remains in place. Brent crude for September delivery dropped 7.3% to around $89.73 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate fell 6.5% to $83.47 — a swift retreat from the $100-plus levels reached last week as tanker attacks widened. Energy producers bore the brunt of the move. Chevron slipped about 2.5% in premarket trading, while BP fell 3.4% in Eur

United Parcel Service reports second-quarter results before Tuesday's opening bell, with analysts expecting earnings of about $1.66 per share, up roughly 6.5% from $1.55 a year ago, on revenue near $21.75 billion — a 2.5% increase from the year-ago quarter.

The rally sets the stage for the busiest week of the quarter. The Federal Reserve's July 28-29 meeting headlines the calendar, with markets split on whether Chair Kevin Warsh and colleagues will hold rates — CME FedWatch

The windfall comes at a welcome moment for NIO shareholders. The stock has fallen for seven straight sessions, closing 3.3% lower at $4.49 on Friday, as mixed delivery numbers and intensifying competition in China's EV market weigh on sent

Super Micro Computer surged as much as 26.6% intraday before closing up nearly 20% at $30.56 after the AI server maker released strong preliminary quarterly results alongside a wave of large new AI infrastructure orders.

Wall Street faces one of the busiest stretches of the summer this week, with the Federal Reserve's policy decision due Wednesday, July 29, alongside a wave of mega-cap earnings that includes Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Apple.

Riot Platforms shares advanced after Morgan Stanley initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a $36 price target, citing the bitcoin miner's large power footprint and its potential to monetize capacity through both mining and AI data-center leasing. The initiation lands as Riot repositions itself as a revenue-generating data center operator.

Cal-Maine Foods and other major U.S. egg producers agreed to pay $3.3 million and donate 53 million eggs to resolve government claims that they colluded to raise egg prices between 2022 and 2025. No company admitted wrongdoing as part of the settlement. The resolution removes a legal overhang for Cal-Maine, the largest U.S. egg producer, which has navigated years of scrutiny over pricing during avian-flu-driven supply shortages that sent retail egg prices to records. Investor

Brent crude fell roughly 4% on Friday to settle near $97 a barrel, its largest one-day decline since late June, pulling back from the $100-plus levels reached earlier in the week after Houthi militants attacked two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. The retreat offers a pause rather than an all-clear. Oil shipments remain under threat on multiple fronts — the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea and the Black Sea — and some analysts warn Brent could push toward $120 or beyond if the esca

Delta Air Lines was highlighted among airline stocks worth watching this weekend, with Barchart making the case for the carrier as a top pick for the remainder of 2026 on the strength of its premium cabin revenue and loyalty program economics. Delta's second-quarter results, reported July 10, beat Wall Street expectations even as high fuel costs pressured margins — a contrast with American Airlines, which sank last week after cutting guidance despite its own Q2 beat.
