J. B. Hunt Transport Services soared 13% to $156.76, and the trucking and logistics services provider's third-quarter results surpassed market expectations. 

Total operating revenue edged down to $3.05 billion from $3.07 billion, net income increased to $170.8 million from $152.1 million, and diluted earnings per share edged up to $1.76 from $1.49 a year ago. 

The transportation company is experiencing volatile market conditions, as businesses front-load orders ahead of the holiday season and in advance of steep U.S. tariffs. 

Gross revenue declined for the intermodal unit by 1%, for the truckload unit by 4%, for the integrated capacity by 8%, and for dedicated contract services by 1%, respectively. 

These losses were somewhat balanced out by a 3% increase in how efficiently the dedicated contract services unit operated, a 9% rise in revenue for each load in the integrated capacity solution unit, and a 14% growth in the number of loads for the truckload services unit. 

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company plunged 9.6% to $22.63, and the computing device maker and cloud service provider's fiscal 2026 outlook disappointed investors. 

The company estimated annual revenue to rise between 5% and 10% and adjusted earnings per share between $2.20 and $2.40.

The cloud service provider announced its plans to boost its annual dividend by 10% and increase its stock buyback by $3 billion. 

United Airlines Holdings Inc. decreased 1.1% to $102.95, and the international passenger airline reported mixed third-quarter results.

Total operating revenue increased 2.6% to $15.2 billion from $14.8 billion, net income decreased 1.7% to $949 million from $965 million, and diluted earnings per share were unchanged at $2.90. 

In the third quarter, premium cabin revenue rose 6%, basic economy advanced 4%, cargo revenue advanced 3%, and loyalty revenue jumped 9% from a year ago, respectively.
