Wall Street indexes extended gains for the second consecutive week amid receding fears surrounding artificial intelligence disruption across several industries.
The S&P 500 Index increased 0.2%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite edged higher by 0.3% as investors reviewed the sell-off in tech stocks over the last three weeks.
Stocks rebounded this week as investors overlooked unresolved trade policy issues and AI-related disruption fears dissipated. Bargain hunters stepped up buying the recently beaten-down software stocks.
Despite a two-day rebound, in the year so far as of Tuesday's close, Service Now fell 33%, Salesforce decreased 30%, Oracle declined 35%, FactSet Research plunged 31%, and CoStar Group dropped 27%.
U.S. Movers
Workday Inc. dropped 9.2% to $117.69 after the workplace platform operator reported slightly lower-than-expected revenue in its latest quarter.
Cava Group soared 11% to $75.40 after the Mediterranean restaurant chain operator reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results and fiscal 2026 outlook.
Lowe's Companies decreased 3.6% to $268.50 after the company's current quarter outlook was weaker than expected.
The retailer estimated current fiscal year revenue to range between $92 billion and $94 billion, and diluted earnings per share to range between $12.25 and $12.75.
CoStar Group dropped 4% to $47.20 after the real estate marketplace operator's first-quarter guidance fell short of market expectations.
