Friday’s Market Movers: Tech Surges and Tariff Tensions
ESS Tech (GWH) shares soared following a decade-long partnership announcement, while Applied Digital (APLD) gained traction after a strong earnings showcase. Bollinger Innovations (BINI) dipped ahead of a planned listing change, and Tesla (TSLA) faced dual pressures from mixed EV reviews and renewed China sales growth failing to buoy its stock.
Alphabet (GOOGL) slid on regulatory scrutiny in the UK, mirroring broader market unease as the Dow Jones (DJIA) and S&P 500 (SPX) retreated. The latter was compounded by former President Trump's tariff threats against China. Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) edged lower post-deal, while Oracle (ORCL) and Oklo (OKLO) climbed on analyst optimism.
