Here are some of the biggest U.S. stock movers today:
Nvidia (NASDAQ:) stock fell 1.8% after the previous session’s hefty gains which propelled its market cap to $3.1 trillion.
Rivian (NASDAQ:) stock soared 30% after German auto giant Volkswagen (ETR:) announced a major investment plan in the American high-end electric truck group.
FedEx (NYSE:) stock rose 14% after the shipping giant revealed an upbeat outlook and unveiled plans for a $2.5 billion share buyback in its current financial year.
Blackstone (NYSE:) fell 0.1% after the private equity firm agreed to buy British hotel operator Village Hotels, part of a wider investor push into the hospitality sector as it outperforms the broader commercial property market.
Albemarle (NYSE:) (ALB) stock rose 6% as the world’s largest lithium producer plans to hold more auctions for the metal used in EV batteries.
Whirlpool (NYSE:) stock rose 13% after Reuters reported that German engineering group Robert Bosch is weighing a bid for U.S. appliances manufacturer.
