Time Is a Flat Circle. Many stocks outside of tech actually gained ground, but given the sector’s outsized position in major indexes, its selloff carried the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.3% while the S&P 500 fell 0.5% and the Nasdaq Composite ended 0.6% lower.

TPAY promises a 10% annual distribution while keeping you fully invested in the S&P 500, and it skips the covered-call playbook entirely to do it. But that unconventional approach comes with a hidden cost most investors overlook before buying in.
One fund concentrates on solar alone, while the other diversifies across wind and other renewables. Which strategy aligns with your risk tolerance?
Elmet Group shares soared after the Defense Department announced a $450 million investment aimed at expanding U.S. tungsten production and reducing reliance on China.
U.S. stocks fell after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a slowdown in artificial-intelligence development and as another increase in oil futures triggered interest-rate worries.
Meta Platforms (META) trades about 17% below its 52-week high, and has lost ground over the past year while the S&P 500 climbed. You can be paid now for agreeing to buy the shares well below today's price, whether or not you ever own them. The catch is the reason they have lagged: Meta is spending on data centers almost as fast as the business turns cash.

UnitedHealth (UNH) has spent the past year repairing margins rather than chasing growth. The shares rebounded well ahead of any actual margin recovery: up about 38% over the past six months, though down about 6% over the past three, and still behind the S&P 500 over the past twelve months, 12.2% for the stock against 18.6% for the index. What argues for owning them now shows up in cash running ahead of reported profit.
Adobe (ADBE) trades near $252, about 31% below its 52-week high, and the past week alone took 11.7% off it. Over the trailing twelve months the stock has lost 28% while the S&P 500 gained about 19%. That underperformance wasn't driven by broad market weakness. Adobe decided to stop putting an immediate paywall in front of its newest users, and that is what makes this fall hard to size.
Caterpillar (CAT) has nearly doubled over the past year, and it trades near $820 a share, about 36 times its last twelve months of adjusted earnings. That is normalized net income with stock-based compensation added back, meant to sit closer to the basis analysts use than a GAAP figure would, though the two are not defined identically. The multiple is steep for a maker of construction equipment and engines. It reads differently against the earnings analysts expect.
Chewy stock surged 6% in a single session after a brutal year-to-date collapse, and bargain hunters are suddenly paying attention. The case for a turnaround and the case against it both have real teeth, and the next quarter will force a verdict.
