Good MorningStocks moved on a mix of strong earnings, deal activity, and AI-driven volatility. General Motors posted a standout report, raising its full-year outlook and trimming expected tariff impacts, which sent shares up over 15% in their biggest one-day gain since 2018. Coca-Cola also delivered solid results, with analysts pointing to momentum in premium drinks and packaging as a potential driver to new highs.
M&A headlines added fuel to the rally: Blackstone and TPG announced plans to take Hologic private in a $79-per-share deal, while Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed it’s reviewing unsolicited offers. In tech, OpenAI launched its Atlas browser, directly challenging Google, and Palantir’s AI tie-up with Snowflake added to optimism around enterprise AI applications. Geopolitical tension remains elevated, but investors continue to rotate between safe havens, cyclicals, and AI momentum plays as earnings season accelerates.
