[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.07%) is in second place on Wednesday afternoon, up about 5 points.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents Charles River (CRL 255.75, +21.63, +9.24%), Intl Flavors (IFF 88.15, +7.26, +8.98%), and Booking Holdings (BKNG 207.35, +13.08, +6.73%) pepper the top of the standings following earnings results. Both CRL and IFF traded to 52-week highs this morning.
Meanwhile, Insulet (PODD 132.41, -34.41, -20.63%) is today's worst laggard in the average as investors focused on a slight reduction to FY2026 revenue growth guidance and concerns around slower-than-expected Type 2 diabetes adoption, overshadowing a Q2 earnings and revenue beat.
