[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.30%) is in second place this afternoon, up about 23 points.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents ServiceNow (NOW 134.24, +4.30, +3.31%), Huntington Ingalls (HII 267.49, +7.85, +3.02%), and Accenture (ACN 182.30, +5.18, +2.92%) dot the top of the standings. ACN rises as UBS highlights strong AI-alliance bookings with NVIDIA, OpenAI and Palantir, suggesting AI is driving growth rather than disintermediating its core business ahead of earnings, while HII gains after it was awarded a $5.1 billion overhaul contract for the USS Harry S. Truman, alongside the start of the work and a new 10-vessel unmanned Navy award, reinforcing strong backlog and demand visibility.
Meanwhile, Moderna (MRNA 191.63, -11.83, -5.81%) falls after Citigroup downgrade their view on the stock to Sell citing valuation and aggressive oncology assumptions.
