Big Tech Stumbles While Crypto Gets a Scare
Today was a bumpy ride for technology stocks, and that pulled the whole market down a touch. The NASDAQ (an index heavy with tech companies) dropped 0.82%, while the broader S&P 500 (500 of America's largest companies) barely moved. The big story was earnings season (when companies report how much they made). Some well-known names disappointed investors even when the news wasn't all bad.
Intel led the losers, with its stock plunging 21% after the chipmaker warned that slow personal-computer sales would hurt future results. Amazon also slipped, even though its cloud business gave an upbeat forecast — proof that strong numbers don't always lift a stock if investors expected even more. Reddit sank too, worried that Google's AI tools are pulling away web traffic.
It wasn't all gloom. Starbucks reported a solid quarter and raised its profit outlook as its turnaround plan takes hold, and Coinbase swung back to a profit. Rivian, the electric-vehicle maker, said it's on track to receive $250 million in Uber funding by year-end.
In crypto, a hack at Binance (a major crypto exchange) rattled nerves — its BNB token fell 7% and Bitcoin wobbled before settling up 0.39%. Stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle froze $2.38 billion in response. Gold, often seen as a safe haven, eased 0.80%. The takeaway: expectations matter as much as actual results.
