The broader market wrapped up the session with a constructive tone as the Dow jumped more than 250 points, signaling a noticeable improvement in investor confidence. The Fear & Greed Index climbed back into the Neutral zone, reflecting a shift away from extreme caution as buyers selectively stepped back into equities late in the day.

$AAPL
Apple finished modestly higher as bullish sentiment stacked up from multiple angles. Bernstein reiterated a Buy rating with a bold $325 price target, while Jim Cramer again argued that Apple deserves a premium multiple given its consistency and execution. Adding to the narrative, reports surfaced that hardware chief John Ternus is emerging as a leading internal candidate to eventually succeed Tim Cook, reinforcing confidence in Apple long-term leadership pipeline and stability.

$AMZN
Amazon advanced as optimism around its long-term growth story resurfaced. Investors reacted to accelerating AWS revenue growth driven by AI demand and a massive backlog that has analysts eyeing 2026 as a potential breakout year. Jim Cramer reiterated that Amazon never should have underperformed in the first place, while chart analysts and long-term growth models continued to frame the stock as a core compounder despite recent price target trims from parts of the Street.

$MARA
MARA Holdings moved lower even as the broader market rose, pressured by weakness in Bitcoin prices. The stock closed down more than 2% as traders digested crypto volatility and near-term uncertainty, though Wall Street continues to frame MARA as a potential rebound candidate if digital asset momentum stabilizes.

$SNDK
SanDisk surging sharply on renewed growth optimism. Improved sentiment around storage demand and the positioning in high-growth segments fueled heavy buying interest, pushing the stock into focus as momentum traders rotated toward under-the-radar tech names.

$CMG
Chipotle climbed as confidence built ahead of earnings, supported by its strong track record of beating estimates. Analysts highlighted the high-protein menu strategy aimed at GLP-1 users and its continued global expansion, while fresh Outperform coverage reinforced the view that Chipotle growth engine remains firmly intact.

$TLRY
Tilray traded higher amid elevated volume following earnings and renewed debate around valuation. While results were mixed, investors focused on better-than-expected revenue and expanding international growth, with analysts arguing the stock looks increasingly attractive relative to its overseas opportunities.

$STLA
Stellantis slipped after announcing it would scrap U.S. plug-in hybrid sales due to weak demand, a move that raised short-term questions about its EV strategy. Offsetting some of the pressure, Piper Sandler upgraded the stock to Overweight, suggesting analysts still see value and upside despite the strategic adjustment.

$XOM
Exxon Mobil outperformed as energy stocks found support. The stock gained on strength in oil prices and continued confidence in Exxon earnings reliability, with investors positioning ahead of another report where the history of beating expectations remains a key attraction for income-focused portfolios.

$BE
Bloom Energy surged again, extending a powerful rally after announcing a major $2.65 billion expansion of its partnership with AEP. The deal reignited enthusiasm around Bloom long-term growth prospects in clean energy infrastructure, turning the stock into one of the week most explosive movers.

$META
Meta Platforms closed higher as the market reacted to a wave of nuclear energy deals aimed at powering its rapidly expanding AI data center footprint. Agreements with Oklo, Vistra and TerraPower underscored Meta’s aggressive push to secure reliable zero-carbon energy at scale, sending ripples across the nuclear and utility sectors and reinforcing Meta’s commitment to supporting its AI ambitions with long-term infrastructure investments.
