Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The major averages have at least temporarily stabilized from a slide that brought them to new session lows at the bottom of the hour. 

The industrials sector (-0.8%) once again holds the widest loss today after finishing as just one of three S&P 500 sectors to capture a gain yesterday. 

GE Vernova (GEV 548.65, -36.68, -6.27%) is selling off sharply following its mixed 3Q25 earnings report, as investors digest an EPS miss and guidance that was merely reaffirmed rather than upgraded.

Additionally, many of the defense names that traded higher after reporting earnings yesterday morning have seen some profit-taking today. The sector's largest component, GE Aerospace (GE 297.62, -9.01, -2.94%), is among the names that push the iShares U.S. Aerospace and Defense ETF (-1.4%) lower.
