Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (flat), Nasdaq Composite (-0.1%), and DJIA (flat) continue to oscillate around their unchanged levels, largely following fluctuations in the top-weighted information technology sector (+0.1%)

NVIDIA (NVDA 182.76, +3.16, +1.76%) continues to provide solid leadership despite relative weakness across chipmaker names today. 

Elsewhere in the sector, Salesforce (CRM 242.14, +3.42, +1.43%) trades higher after delivering a strong beat-and-raise earnings report for 3Q26, providing shares with a much-needed pop amid a 30% year-to-date plunge for the stock. Q3 revenue reached $10.26 billion, up 9% year-over-year (8% constant currency), while non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 35.5%. Current Remaining Performance Obligations (cRPO) rose 11% to $29.4 billion, exceeding expectations due to robust bookings execution, early renewals, on-prem revenue timing, and a $200 million FX tailwind.
