Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock rose 0.4% after Bloomberg reported that China is preparing to

RTX (NYSE:RTX) gained 4.9%, Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) was up 7% and Northrop Grumman
(NYSE:NOC) rose 7.6% as investors bought into these defense

or buying back shares until they speed up weapons production.
Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD) stock gained 6.1% after the data center operator reported second-quarter revenue above
expectations, while signing leases with two hyperscalers
across two North Dakota campuses.
Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ) stock gained 2% after the drinks
company reported third-quarter sales and profit above
expectations, driven by steady demand for its Modelo
Especial and Corona beer brands.

downgraded its stance on the aluminum manufacturer to
“underweight” from “neutral”, saying it prefers “copper over aluminum”.
