Good MorningStocks edged higher on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 rising 0.2% to a fresh record high as technology names led the way ahead of NVIDIA's much-anticipated earnings report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.2%, powered by heavy trading in semiconductors and a rotation into industrials. The Industrials Select Sector SPDR ETF has outpaced the broader market this year, climbing roughly 17% year-to-date on the back of reshoring trends and strong order books at smaller manufacturers.
On the movers board, Ford shares dipped after the automaker announced a recall of more than 355,000 pickup trucks due to instrument-panel display failures. Defense stocks gained ground following new global deals linked to U.S.-EU tariff talks, while analysts highlighted overlooked dividend-paying names for yield-seeking investors. Renewable energy companies also drew fresh interest as oil prices remained volatile, underscoring the growing focus on clean-power alternatives even amid fluctuating fossil-fuel markets.

From Our Partners | | Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge.
Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
