Things didn’t get any better today. In fact, they got worse after the S&P 500 entered correction territory upon falling 10% from its most recent all-time high. For the day, the broader market index fell 1.39%, while the Nasdaq Composite lost nearly 2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.3%.
Some of the stocks moving higher in after-hours market trading include:
Ulta Beauty (Nasdaq: ULTA) is rising 5.5% on better-than-expected Q4 results driven by robust demand for cosmetics and perfumes.
Docusign (Nasdaq: DOCU) is up 8.3% after its better-than-expected Q4 print, including revenue that topped estimates.
PagerDuty (NYSE: PD) is up 4.4%. Despite posting a loss-per-share, the company’s Q4 revenue surpassed consensus estimates.
We’ll see if the positive earnings momentum spills over into Friday’s trading session or if the markets will stay headline-driven.
Market selling has intensified, and you’d be hard pressed to find any sector gainers. Every sector from energy to utilities to technology to consumer discretionary is trading in the red.
A one-two punch of President Trump’s tariff threats and concerning wholesale inflation data has sent the markets reeling, with all three of the major stock market indices deepening their losses since this morning. Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) remains a rare gainer in the tech industry, rising about 16%.
Mining stocks Newmont (NYSE: NEM) and Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) are the exception, gaining 5% and 4%, respectively, on the day on precious metal safe-haven demand.
Here’s an update on where the indexes are trading:
Dow Jones Industrial Average: Down 462.04 (-1.12%)
Nasdaq Composite: Down 282.91 (-1.5%)
S&P 500: Down 64.48 (-1.1%)
The markets remain under pressure as of mid-morning, with all three of the major stock market indices trading fractionally lower, though they are off their worst levels of the morning. President Trump’s latest tariff push coupled with disappointing wholesale inflation data for February have turned the market mood sour.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: Down 48.08 (-0.12)
Nasdaq Composite: Down 160.61 (-0.88%)
S&P 500: Down 15.68 (-0.28%)

Another day, another market sell-off. The markets are fearful amid President Trump’s threat of yet more tariffs and the possibility of an economic recession looming. Renewed inflation fears after wholesale inflation prices stayed flat in February aren’t helping. Out of the gate, all three of the major stock market indices are trading in the red, including the Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average. While the declines are fractional in nature, the selling pressure is hitting most sectors of the economy, including technology.
Intel (Nasdaq: INTC | INTC Price Prediction) is extending its gains from yesterday with a 16.7% pop today after naming well known semiconductor executive Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO, giving the company a chance at a fresh start.

Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) is gaining 5.3% over the past week, while Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) has lost 8.3% in the past five days.
