Notable movers

Intel Corporation (INTC) -4.06%

Intel announced a proposed $15 billion common-stock offering to finance foundry and AI-related investment, prompting dilution concerns. The offering tested investor tolerance for equity-funded AI capital spending after a major Intel rally and became a high-profile example of the sector's growing financing requirements.

AbCellera Biologics Inc. (ABCL) +34.70%

AbCellera announced positive top-line Phase 2 results for ABCL635 in vasomotor symptoms, reporting significant reductions in symptom frequency and severity with a favorable tolerability profile. A clinically driven 35% revaluation in a liquid, multibillion-dollar biotechnology company signals a major perceived increase in the program's probability of success.

Chevron Corporation (CVX) +4.48%

Chevron rallied with the energy complex as Brent crude climbed 5% to $87.72 amid uncertainty over reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The move represented an unusually large one-day gain for a defensive mega-cap and highlighted the equity market's sensitivity to geopolitical oil-supply risk.

Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) +4.41%

Exxon Mobil advanced with oil producers after Brent crude rose 5% on renewed uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and global crude flows. A greater-than-4% gain in one of the world's largest public oil companies made energy the session's dominant sector-level story.

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) -2.84%

Nvidia confirmed partnerships with major investment firms to assemble more than $500 billion of financing for AI infrastructure, renewing scrutiny of the financing structures supporting AI-chip demand. A nearly 3% decline in the market's largest AI bellwether drove technology-sector weakness and highlighted concern that sustaining AI demand may require increasingly complex financing.

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (UAL) -4.49%

United fell as Brent crude jumped 5%, intensifying concern about airline fuel expense; United had previously warned that higher oil prices could add nearly $6 billion to its 2026 fuel costs versus its initial estimate. United was a clear negative expression of the oil shock and materially underperformed both the market and other transportation-platform stocks.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.B) +1.44%

Berkshire rose after reporting quarterly profit above analyst expectations and disclosing that it had begun deploying more of its large cash position into equities under CEO Greg Abel. The move was modest in percentage terms but consequential because it involved a trillion-dollar bellwether and the first major capital-allocation signals under new leadership.

Datadog, Inc. (DDOG) +11.48%

No discrete new company announcement was confirmed for August 10; the stock sharply extended its rebound from the 19% post-earnings decline recorded on August 6. The double-digit recovery in a large cloud-observability company showed aggressive dip-buying and rapid repricing after an earnings-related drawdown.
