Good MorningStocks extended their rally as September wrapped up with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq near all-time highs, buoyed by the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut since 2024. That move has reignited retail traders’ risk appetite, sending speculative themes back into focus. Retail investors piled into quantum-computing names amid talk of the “next wave” of tech, while AI-focused stocks chalked up record-breaking rallies. Even best-known names like NVIDIA saw fresh strength as traders chased momentum and options-driven strategies.
Corporate headlines drove pockets of volatility across sectors today. Costco shares ticked higher on expectations the retailer will hand out a special December dividend after building a $14 billion cash hoard. In pharma, GSK’s stock dipped on news CEO Emma Walmsley will step down at year-end, while railroad operator CSX shook up its leadership amid activist pressure. The day’s biggest splash came from Electronic Arts, agreeing to a historic $55 billion private-equity buyout that sent its stock surging to the $210-a-share deal price. Featured: 23,281 stocks.
