Market Overview
Wall Street is abuzz with excitement as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite soar to new all-time highs. The S&P 500 saw an impressive increase of 0.85%, while the Nasdaq surged by 1.53%. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a slight decline of 0.09%.
In premarket trading, Broadcom’s shares surged by an incredible 14% after exceeding fiscal second-quarter expectations and announcing a 10-for-1 stock split. On the other hand, Dave & Buster’s Entertainment shares took a hit, falling 10% following disappointing first-quarter revenue figures.
Tesla also made waves in premarket trading with a 5% increase after CEO Elon Musk announced positive developments, including shareholders’ approval of his $56 billion pay package and the company’s re-incorporation from Delaware to Texas. Musk’s announcement signaled a bright future for the electric car company.
Corporate Earnings Highlights
Oxford Industries’ stock saw a 2.9% dip after reporting first-quarter earnings and revenue below expectations. The company’s adjusted earnings of $2.66 per share on $398.2 million in revenue fell short of analyst projections.
Virgin Galactic faced a tough day as its shares plummeted by 16% following the board’s approval of a 1-for-20 reverse stock split. This decision had a significant impact on investor sentiment towards the space tourism company.
Early Catalysts: CPI and Fed Policy
Investor optimism was fueled by the Federal Reserve’s positive outlook on inflation, noting “modest further progress” towards the 2% target and maintaining current interest rates. The Fed’s projection of only one rate cut in 2024, down from three forecasted in March, signals a positive economic environment. Additionally, the May consumer price index report, which showed easing inflation, added to the overall optimism in the market.
