Market News:
U.S. stocks drove home gains on
Wednesday, as SpaceX led the technology sector higher
after reporting bumper quarterly results and confirming the formation of a
special committee to explore a potential merger with Tesla.
The artificial intelligence trade, which
had been under the gun recently, was reignited, with chip stocks such as Nvidia rising. Conversely, shares of Netflix slid after the
streaming pioneer issued disappointing current-quarter revenue guidance.
Traders also kept an eye on the Middle
East conflict amid a rise in oil prices.
The benchmark S&P 500 added 0.6% to
end at 7,758.53 points, while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average rose
0.7% to close at 52,857.10 points. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite surged 1.1%
to settle at 26,702.86 points.
Earnings season underway
The third quarter earnings season has
picked up steam this week. A strong underlying earnings story has been one of
the primary drivers of Wall Street’s record performance this year, helping
stocks weather headwinds from geopolitics to bond market ructions.
Some solid earnings from major names on
Tuesday contributed to a turnaround in U.S. equities, with the S&P 500
overcoming a negative open to end 0.3% higher. The Dow jumped 1%, while the
NASDAQ settled just below the flatline. Credit data
and analytics giant Equifax, toymaker Hasbro, and industrial conglomerate 3M
were among the top percentage gainers on the S&P as their quarterly results
cheered investors.
SpaceX headlined the earnings slate in after-market hours
on Tuesday. The world’s biggest rocket launcher and satellite operator
delivered quarterly revenue of $14.6 billion, a more than 160% surge from a
year ago and above analysts’ estimates. Profit stood at $4.4 billion, while
capital expenditures climbed to $19.6 billion.
Meanwhile, Netflix announced a quarterly
bottom-line beat, but its Q4 revenue guidance of $13.4 billion missed consensus
figures. The streaming giant has been struggling with user engagement and
continued capital spending to sustain its vast portfolio of content, and its
stock has lost more than 26% YTD, significantly underperforming the S&P
500’s nearly 13% increase. Netflix ended 5.3% lower.
Elsewhere, Super Micro Computer surged
over 9.5% after forecasting quarterly revenue and gross margins well above its
previous guidance. United Airlines reversed losses to gain 4%, even after the
carrier issued an underwhelming profit outlook which highlighted the impact of
high fuel costs.
All eyes are now on earnings from Tesla
and Meta Platforms after the closing bell on Wednesday. The latter will be the
first AI hyperscaler to report, giving markets a look
at the state of its infrastructure buildout.
Committees formed to explore possible SpaceX-Tesla merger, Musk says
SpaceX’s quarterly report - its second since its record
initial public offering earlier this year - was overshadowed by top boss Elon Musk’s comments on the earnings conference call, in
which he said the company and Tesla had formed committees to explore a
potential merger. SpaceX stock settled 7.8% higher,
while Tesla added 3.4%.
Musk said the committees have not
reached an agreement on "the terms of any transaction."
Musk, who serves as CEO of both
companies and is not on either committee, added that there is "no
guarantee" a deal will eventually be reached, but stressed that he does
believe there is "a lot of merit" to a tie-up.
Oil higher
Wall Street on Tuesday had also been
helped by a fall in oil prices.
Early in the session, unconfirmed
reports that Qatar and Pakistan had put forward a proposal to revive talks to
conclude the Iran war briefly sent oil prices down to $106 a barrel from $112 a
barrels. The rumors bolstered sentiment, which has
been dented in recent sessions by worries over the sustainability of massive
debt-fueled AI infrastructure spending and elevated
borrowing costs.
Oil had ticked up on Wednesday, with
Brent crude futures, the global benchmark, last up 1% to $109.93 a barrel.
Energy market participants weighed possible diplomatic progress between Russia
and Ukraine against a lack of any major breakthroughs in a meeting between
Pakistani and Iranian officials.
