Good MorningStocks pushed to fresh record highs last week, with the S&P 500 rebounding after a brief pullback. Financials led the advance, while energy and healthcare showed signs of stabilizing. The standout was Google, which surged more than 10% after a favorable antitrust ruling allowed the company to avoid a structural breakup.
Elsewhere, Apple saw modest gains tied to the same ruling, and American Eagle jumped sharply after its latest ad campaign resonated with consumers. Looking ahead, this week features earnings from Oracle, GameStop, Chewy, and Adobe. Featured: Anthropic IPO & What it Means for AI Stocks (My #1 Play) (Ad)
