Biggest S&P 500 Movers on Tuesday

Decliners

• Shares of Texas-based power generator Vistra (VST) plummeted more than 11%, the biggest drop of any S&P 500 stock. The company has drawn attention because of opportunities associated with demand for power from data centers running artificial intelligence (AI) technology and oil field operations. That had helped the stock gain more than 120% year to date heading into Tuesday's session.
• Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR) shares dropped 10% on Tuesday. The manufacturer of power management chips saw its stock price soar to an all-time high last week as analysts at TD Cowen boosted their price target. However, recent regulatory filings showed that Monolithic's executive vice president of global operations sold $8.7 million worth of shares in the company.
• Shares of Constellation Energy (CEG), a power utility headquartered in Maryland, sank 9.6%. Similar to Vistra, Constellation Energy stock has posted strong gains in 2024 driven by expectations of high demand from AI data centers. Although Bank of America analysts recently boosted their price target on the stock, predicting strength for the company in the second half of the year, they maintained a "neutral" rating on the shares. Recent reports have questioned whether Constellation Energy's debt levels could be a cause for concern.

Advancers

• Molson Coors Beverage (TAP) shares jumped 5.4%, marking the S&P 500's top daily performance on a day when food and drink stocks broadly performed well. Molson, owner of Miller beer and other brands, completed the sale of several craft breweries to cannabis-focused Canadian firm Tilray Brands (TLRY).
• Shares of DexCom (DXCM), which provides medical devices to help patients manage diabetes, added 4.4%. The stock plunged in July after DexCom reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results and lowered its full-year sales guidance. However, last week's launch of Stelo—the first continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to be available in the U.S. without a prescription—could bode well for future growth.

• Shares of options exchange operator Cboe Global Markets (CBOE) were up 3.6%. Zacks Equities Research recently highlighted CBOE as an attractive momentum stock, noting outperformance versus its industry and sector as well as strong organic sales growth driven by transaction fees.

US Steel Falls on Kamala Harris Comments

U.S. Steel (X) shares tumbled Tuesday, a day after Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris said that she supported th༒e White House stance against Japan's Nippon Steel purchase of the Pittsburgh-based firm.

Speaking at a Labor Day event in that city, Harris explained that "U.S. Steel is a historic American company, and it is vital for our nation to maintain strong American steel companies." She added, "I couldn't agree more with President Biden, U.S. Steel should remain American owned and American operated."

The $14.9 billion deal was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:announced last December after U.S. Steel had earlier rejected a lower offer from Ohio-based Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF). However, in March President Biden issued a statement opposing the Nippon acquisition, noting that he "told our steel workeꦫrs I have their backs, and I meant it."

In an email response to an Investopedia request for comment, U.S. Steel argued that the firm "will be a much stronger company as a result of the transaction with Nippon Steel, and the American steel industry will be more globally competitive.

Former Presidꦐent Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, has said he would block the Nippon-U.S. Steel merger, according to news r🦋eports.

U.S. Steel shares fell 6.1% to close at $35.60. The stock haওs lost 27% of itౠs value since the start of the year.

Intel Drops Amid Concerns It Could Lose Dow Status

Intel (INTC) shares fell nearly 9%Tuesday amid worries the chipmaker could be in danger of losing its status as a member of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dow Jones Industrial Average.

The company was one of the first tech companies to join the 30-stock index in 1999, but last month's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:disappointing s𝔍econd-quarter earnings results༒ sent shares to their lowest level since 2013. The stock is the worst-performing constituent of th♓e DJIA this year, with shares down nearly 60% from the start of 2024.

The DJIA is a price-weighted index that tracks 30 large, publicly-owned companies trading on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq. In♉tel is the lowest-weighted component of the index, making up just 0.3% of the DJIA as of last last week.

Boeing Tumbles as Wells Fargo Cites Cash Flow Concerns

Boeing (BA) shares tumbled Tuesday after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wells Fargo downgraded the stock on concerns about the plane maker's long-term 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:free cash flow. 

The bank lowered its rating on the stock to "underweight" from "equal weight," and slashed its price target to $119 from $185.

Analyst Matthew Akers pointed to Boeing's "extensive delays and added cost" impacting aircraft production cash flow. Akers said Wells Fargo's "deep dive into FCF drivers through 2030 shows cash peaking in 2027 at or below BA's prior $10B target. Our FCF estimates are 15-20% below consensus in 2026-27."

🎃Boein𝓀g shares were down 8% at $159.92 around midday, leading Dow decliners.
