Boeing's 10.75% drop to $168.07 was the heaviest close in a 382-name priority list, with three big refiners right behind it. On the other side, Navitas led the gainers at +11.13%.
Latest Activity
A 7.34% drop to $389.50 carves roughly $8 billion off a $112.1 billion refiner in a single session, far beyond this name's usual daily range. Keep an eye on whether it stabilizes above the $390 line into the close.
A 6.21% slide to $394.26 wipes roughly $7 billion off the refiner's $113.5 billion market value in a single session, an outsized move for a name this size. Watch whether it holds above the $394 area into the close.
Refining margin per barrel tripled to $39.24, and that crack spread windfall carried both lines past consensus by double digits. Operating cash flow gives the refiner room to keep funding the quarterly dividend with ease. Sixth straight EPS beat.
Cipher Digital's 13.1% drop was the deepest cut in a 385-name priority list at the close. Refiners and Oracle took the other side.
Valero just notched a fresh 52-week high at $424.10, 1.14% above the record it set only two days earlier. The refiner has roughly tripled off its $156.76 low from a year ago, and the $122.1 billion market cap keeps stretching.
