Notable movers

Snowflake Inc. (SNOW) +16.55%

Snowflake reported stronger-than-expected quarterly results, 37% product-revenue growth and increased its fiscal-2027 product-revenue forecast to $6.07 billion, citing accelerating demand for its AI products. A major software earnings beat provided a positive AI-demand read-through for the broader cloud and application-software group.

Strategy Inc (MSTR) +17.56%

Strategy rallied with bitcoin, which reclaimed $80,000 and traded above $81,000 as falling rate-hike expectations, a weaker dollar and broader risk appetite lifted cryptocurrency-linked equities. The largest move in the sample and a high-beta expression of the session's sharp crypto rebound.

Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD) +16.57%

Robinhood led the S&P 500 as bitcoin and crypto trading proxies surged. Reporting also highlighted a strong revenue metric from Robinhood Chain and increasingly bullish analyst commentary. A nearly 17% move in a $100 billion-plus brokerage showed how aggressively investors repriced retail-trading and crypto exposure.

Ciena Corporation (CIEN) -10.36%

Ciena beat quarterly revenue and earnings estimates and raised annual revenue guidance, but investors focused on fourth-quarter gross-margin guidance near 45% and the difficulty of satisfying elevated expectations after a major AI-networking-driven run. The sharp negative reaction to objectively strong results illustrated how demanding valuations had become in optical networking.

Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) +10.14%

Coinbase rose with bitcoin and other major crypto assets after dovish rate commentary reduced expectations for a September rate increase and weakened the U.S. dollar. The double-digit gain reinforced Coinbase's role as a liquid equity proxy for changes in crypto trading activity and risk appetite.

Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) -7.26%

Tyson reduced its fiscal-2026 revenue-growth and adjusted-operating-income outlook, citing beef-margin compression, volatile cattle prices and one of the most severe U.S. cattle shortages on record. The warning provided a direct read-through on cattle-cycle pressure and food-producer margins.

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) +5.42%

Tesla rose ahead of its scheduled Cybercab presentation, while declining rate-hike expectations supported automakers and other rate-sensitive consumer-discretionary shares. Tesla combined a company event catalyst with the session's macro tailwind and generated the sample's highest dollar turnover.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) +5.04%

HPE reported record revenue, orders and profitability, with quarterly revenue rising 34% to $12.2 billion. Management raised its financial outlook and cited AI as a multi-year growth driver. Shares reversed an early post-earnings decline to close substantially higher on exceptionally heavy volume.
