Major U.S. st🐼ock indexes stumbled again Tuesday as shares of Tesla and other major technology companies fell sharply, while bitcoin plunged to a three-month low and Treasury yields dropped amid mounting concerns about the outlook for the economy.
The S&P 500 and tech-heavy 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nasdaq Composite shed 0.5% and 1.4%, respectively, while the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.4%, led by gains for retail giants Walmart and Home Depot. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have now closed lower in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:four consecutive sessions, while the Dow has eked out gains two days in a row after posting its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:worst weekly performance since October last week.
The major indexes, which were near record highs a week ago, have retreated in recent sessions amid investor concerns about the economic outlook and uncertainty about the potential impact of policies coming out of the White House. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:꧋Weaker-than-expected consumer confidence data released this 🥀morning add🌱ed to the negative sentiment.
Shares of major technology companies, which led the decline on Monday, were mostly lower again today. EV maker Tesla (TSLA) fell more than 8% following news that its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sales in the E.U. fell sharply last month. AI chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA), which is due to report quarterly results after the closing bell ⭕tomorrow, dropped nearly 3%, while Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG), Meta Platforms (META) and Broadcom (AVGO) also lost ground. Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) each finished near unchanged.
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares plunged 12% ahead of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a deadline today for the server maker to file delayed 2024 financial reports required by Nasdaq. (The stock 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:soared in extended trading after Supermicro narrowly met the filing deadline.) Palantir (PLTR) shares, which have lost more than a quarter of their value in the past week amid concerns the 澳🍎洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:analytics software company could be affected by reduced Defense Department spending,🐷 slid 3%.
Shares of Home Depot (HD) rose nearly 3% after the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:home improvement retailer reported quarterly results that topped Wall Street estimates but issued a weaker-than-expected outlook. Walmart (WMT) jumped more than 4% to lead Dow gainers.
The earnings calendar was relatively light on Tuesday but picks up in the coming days. In addition to the Nvidia report, which is arguably the most important earnings release of the quarter for market participants, Lowe's (LOW), Salesforce (CRM) and Dell Technologies (DELL), among others, are set to report results.
Shares of companies tied to bitcoin retreated as the 💝澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:dꦏigital currency dropped below $90,000 for the first time in more than a month. Bitcoin was trading at $88,400 recently, down from around $93,000 late Monday and near $100,0ജ00 at the end of last week.
Shares of Strategy (MSTR), which was formerly known as MicroStrategy and is among the world's largest holders of bitcoin, fell 11%. Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings (MARA) also dropped 11% today, while crypto exchange Coinbase Global (COIN) was off more than 6%.
Gold futures were down 1.2% at around $2,930 an ounce in late trading, retreating from record high levels hit on Monday, while West Texas Intermediate crude oi🎐l futures slipped more than 2% to around $69 per barrel.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which is correlated w🔴ith expectations about where interest rates are headed and influences all sorts of borrowing costs, was at 4.3ဣ0%, down from 4.39% Monday and trading at its lowest level in more than two months. The yield has fallen as concerns about the economy have risen.
Biggest S&P 500 Movers on Tuesday
Decliners
- Energy company Sempra's (SRE) share price fell 19%, the most of any company in the S&P 500. Its fourth-quarter earnings and revenue each 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:came in lower than expected. The gas and electric holding company also cut its 2025 earnings outlook, citing "recent and planned regulatory matters and the backdrop of a higher-cost environment."
- Tesla (TSLA) shares continued their recent slide by dropping 8.4% after reports that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:European registrations for its electric vehicles were cut almost in half. The stock has lost roughly a quarter of its value so far this year and has become the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:weakest performer in the Magnificent 7 so far this year.
- Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares fell 11.8% during the trading session as the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:deadline approached for the server maker to file its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Form 10-K for fiscal 2024. However, it clawed all of that ground back and more in after-hours trading after it filed the required documents before the deadline.
Advancers
- Shares of Solventum (SOLV) jumped 9.5% to lead S&P 500 gainers after the medical device maker agreed to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sel༒l its purification and filtration business to Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) for $4.1 billion.The health care company was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:spun off from 3M (MMM) in April 2024 and said it plans to use proceeds from the Thermo Fisher deal to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:pay down debt.
- 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Real estate investment trust American Tower (AMT) shares rose 6.1% after it posted better-than-expected revenue, as its telecom and wireless carrier clients drove higher leasing demand.
Why Everyone on Wall Street is Awaiting Nvidia Earnings
Nvidia (NVDA), the ⛦poster child of Wall Street's AI craze, is set to report quarterly earnings amid rising investor uncertainty about the U.S. economy, politics, and the economics of AI.
The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:earnings report, due after markets close Wednesday, could be a wrecking ball slamming into an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:antsy stock market. Or it could be the fuel needed to revive a sputtering AI rally: Nvidia has been the prime beneficiary of the AI buildout of the last t✤wo years and any deceleration or accelerat🧸ion in investment should show up in its results.

All of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wall Street will be scrutinizing sales of the chipmaker’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Blackwell platform. Nvidia executives repeatedly have said demand for Blackwell has outstripped supply. Nvidia is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:expꦓected to report that quarterly sales g𝕴rew more thaꦜn 70% to $38 billion and net income jumped more than 60% to $2🌌1 billion, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha.
High expectations heading into Nvidia’s earnings have led to disappointment on Wall Street. Even if Nvidia beats investors expectations on Wednesdayꦆ, it may not be enough to make the stock pop.
Meanwhile, AI stocks have been on shaky ground ahead of Nvidia's report: Favorites like Palantir (PLTR), Vistra (VST), and Applovin (APP) have all fallen at least 20% in the last week.

Solventum Leads S&P 500 Gainers on Thermo Fisher Deal
Shares of Solventum (SOLV) jumped Tuesday after medical device maker Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) said it would acquire the company’s purification and𓆉 filtration business for $4.1 billion.
Solventum CEO Bryan Hanson on Tuesday called the deal part of a transformation plan to turn around the company's business. The healthcare company 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:went public in April 2024 after a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:spinoff from 3M (MMM) and said it plans to use proceeds from the Thermo Fisher deal to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:pay down debt. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2025.&♔nbsp;
For Thermo Fisher, the transaction expands the company’s capacity to develop and manufacture biologic medications, a class of drugs produced using aꦇ living system, such as a microorg🔯anism or cells from plants or animals.
Last year, Solventum’s purification and filtration arm brought in about $1 billion in revenue, Thermo Fisher said in its announcement of the purchase. In addition to purification and filtration, Solventum operates medic𝄹al, surgical, oral health, and health information and technology segments.
Shares of Solven♔tum, which is scheduled to release fourth-quarter results after the ✱market closes Thursday, gained 9.5% on Tuesday to lead S&P 500 gainers. Thermo Fisher stock added less than 1% today.
Why Bitcoin Fell Sharply Today
Bitcoin (BTCUSD) fell below below $86,000 at one point Tuesday, a sharp drop from the $100,000 mark it tested late last week. The digital currency is now down about 20% since hitting an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:all-time high of $109,000 last month just prior to U🍨.S. Presid♉ent Donald Trump's inauguration.
After remaining 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:range-bound in recent weeks, bitcoin's sudden drop may be attributed to increasing worries about U.S. economic factors, especially inflation and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:trade policies. Those same factors have weighed 🎐on stock market sentiment in recent days.
In a press conference Monday, Tru🤡mp reiterated that tariffs on Mexico and Canada will go ahead as planned. Economists have long feared that imposition of tariffs could reignit𓃲e inflation.
Crypto investors will also be watching 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Friday's inflation data—known as core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation metric—for clues after the January Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:hotter than expected.
Persistent inflation would make it harder for the Fed to aggressively cut interest rates, which isn't great for investors in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:risky assets&n𝓡bsp;such as crypto or stocks. Higher rates imply higher yields on less-risky Treasurys, and that prospect has shaken equity and crypto markets alike.

Sempra Plunges on Lowered Profit Forecast
Energy company Sempra's (SRE) stock was the biggest decliner in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:S&P 500 Tuesday afternoon after its fourth-quarter results and profit 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:projections fell short of expectations.
The gas and electric holding company earlier Tuesday reported adjusted 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:earnings per share (EPS) of $1.50 on $3.76 billion in revenue, each up 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:year-over-year but below analystꦛs' estimates 🌺compiled by Visible Alpha.
Sempra cut its 2025 EPS outlook to $4.30 to $4.70 from the prior range of $4.90 to $5.25 because of "recent and planned regulatory matters and the backdrop of a higher-cost environment." The new 2025 EPS outlook and projected 2026 range of $4.80 to $5.30 are both well below expectations.
"With the reset of our guidance in 2025, we are setting a new foundation for a decisive decade of growth," Sempra CEO Jeffrey Martin said.
Sempra shares were recently down 18% recently, trading at their lowes🌺t point since la𝐆st April. The stock, which reached a record high in November, now is trading in negative territory for the last year.
Palantir Levels to Watch as Sell-Off Accelerates
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) stock fell again Tuesday to extend a swift and steep decline from💛 record highs amid investor con♐cerns that the U.S. government could cut spending on the analytical software company's services.
After hitting an all-time high a week ago, the stock has tumbled 30% following a report that Pentagon officials had been ordered to cut the U.S. defense budget by 8% annually for the nex💦t five years, a move that could💫 negatively impact a key military contractor like Palant▨ir.
Since a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bearish engulfing pattern marked the stock’s record high, Palantir shares have moved sharply lower, with the price threatening to close the early February earnings-driven 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:breakaway gap.
Increasing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:trading volume during the recent drop indicates selling conviction, while the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:relative strength index (RSI) indicator’s sudden drop from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:overbought&🍨nbsp;levels to below 🧜50 also points to accelerating bearish momentum.
Investors should watch key support levels on Palantir's chart around $85, $66 and $44, while also eyeing important overhead areas near $100 and $125.
The stock wa༒s down 3.6% at $87.40 in recent trading after falling more than 10% on Monday.

Tesla Tumbles as European EV Registrations Fall
Tesla (TSLA) shares fell 𒆙sharply again Tuesday to extend a recent slump as the Elon Musk-helmed company recorded a 45% plunge in European EV registrations last month
The stock was down 8% recently and has fallen 25% in 2025, making it by far the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:weakest performer in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Magnificent 7 so far this year.
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TSLA_2025-02-25_12-26-18-ff8ce6c7334d4684b1741eb23510b708.png)
TradingView
According to data from the European Automo♉🍬bile Manufacturers’ Association, 9,945 Teslas were registered in January, down from 18,161 a year ago.
Analysts have blamed Tesla’s recent share price declines on Wall Street’s worries that Musk is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:too distracted by his role leading cost-cutting department DOGE to focus on running the EV maker.
In a note Tuesday, Wedbush analysts led by Dan Ives stuck with an outperform call but also noted that Musk’s DOGE-related “actions” and close ties to U.S. President Donald Trump have alienated some consumers “in Europe and pockets of the U.S. “
Investor worries about the impact of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:potential tariffs and the ဣremoval of EV incentives on the automaker’s business have also weighed on the stock this year. Despite losing ground in 2025, however, Tesla shares have gained almost 20% sin♌ce Nov. 5, when Trump won the U.S. presidential election.
Supermicro Approaches Filing Deadline to Avoid Delisting
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares were down in e💟arly-afterno꧙on trading as the server maker faces a Tuesday deadline to file delayed financial reports in order to avoid a Nasdaq delisting.
The company has had a difficult last six months since 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:it was accused by a short seller of accounting manipulation. In August, Supermicro 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:said it would file its annual report later than expected, which was followed by the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:resignation of EY as the company's auditor in October.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Earlier this month, the company said it expected it would file ওthe delayed reports, one for fiscal 2024 and the first two quarterly reports of fiscal 2025, by the Feb. 25 deadline. Supermicro has previously offered preliminary first and second-quarter results, with the second-quarter figures recently coming in be🌞low its previous forecasts.
Supermicro received an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:extension of the filing deadline in December, days after an independent special committee 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:said it had found no evidence of accounting wrongdoiꦕng. However, the company said at the time it would replace its CFO, one of multiple executive positions it still has to fill.
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/SMCI_2025-02-25_11-13-13-bc19683855414d288c0d83cafd3e3015.png)

Tempus AI Costs, Outlook Send Stock Sharply Lower
Shares of Tempus AI () sank Tuesday, a day after the provider of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:artificial intelligence medical techn🐻ology reported worse-than-anticipated results and guidance, with costs rising as the company expande꧂d.
T🔴empus posted a fourth-quarter adjusted net loss of $0.18 per share, $0.02 more per share than estimates by analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha. Revenue jumped 36% year-over-year to $200.7 million, but that also was below expectations.
Sales at the genomics unit wereꦍ up more than 𓃲30% to $120.4 million, and they increased nearly 45% to $80.2 million at the data and services business.
The company's non-GAAP operating expenses grew 6.5% to $142.5 million. In a letter to shareholders, founder and CEO Erik Lefkofsky and CFO Jim Rogers explained that while Tempus reduced its ramp up in hiring during 2024, "a portion of the year-over-year increases in Non-GAAP operating expenses was driven by increases in the sa🗹lesforce related to expanding territories to account for growth in overall testing volume and the launch of our MRD assays, along with modest increases in our technology and R&D staff."
Tempus sees full-year adjusted EBITDA of $5 million, while the Visible 𝓰Alpha outlook was for nearly $6 million. It sees revenue at $1.24 billion, slightly above forecasts.
Tempus AI shares were down 20% in recent trading. The stock only began being traded publicly last June, and despite today's drop they're still about 40% above their initial price.
Krispy Kreme Hits All-Time Low on Weak Results
Shares of Krispy Kreme (DNUT) lost a quarter of their value in early trading Tuesday as the donut maker posted worse-than-expected results and g♊uidance as it was hit with a cyberattack and continued its restructuring efforts.
The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:earnings per share of $0.01 on r🐓evenue that slid 10% year-over-year to $404.0 million. Analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha were looking for $0.09 and $411.1 million, respectively.
Krispy Kreme said the drop in revenue was mostly the result of the sale of its majority stake in Insomnia Cookies in the third quarter, along with the December hacking that had a negative impact of about $11 million. The incident caused operational disruptions, including online ordering in the U.S. "Onlineജ ordering, retail shops, and core business functions are now fully operational," the company said.
CEO Josh Charlesworth said that leaving out the cybersecurity issue, the performance was "largely in line with our expectations." Charlesworth added that the company has "restructured our management teams to maximize profitable U.S. expansion and capital-light international growth," and plans to outsource U.S. logistics. In addition, Krispy Kreme has "begun a process to evaluate refranchising certain international markets."
The company sees full-year revenue of $1.55 billion to $1.65 billion, and adjusted EBITDA of $180 million to $200 million. The Visible Alpha estimates were for 🦄$1.76 billion and $235 million, respectively.

Since bottoming out near the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:200-day moving average and the lower trendline of an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ascending triangle, 💫Berkshire shares have continued to trenꦜd higher, with the price breaking out above the pattern on Monday.
