What Happened?

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after markets faded the Nvidia rally in the morning session, as investors remained uncertain about future rate cuts. 

While the trading day began with significant enthusiasm, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 700 points and the Nasdaq Composite up 2.6%, momentum quickly evaporated as the session wore on. The primary catalyst for this sharp reversal was a stronger-than-expected jobs report, which reduced the implied odds of a December interest rate cut to less than 40%.This macroeconomic anxiety overshadowed stellar corporate performance. Nvidia initially surged 5% on blockbuster earnings and CEO Jensen Huang's bullish outlook on "off the charts" demand for Blackwell chips. However, the stock eventually turned negative, acting as a heavy weight that dragged the broader indices into the red. The sell-off partly reflects a deepening caution regarding high-flying tech valuations in a "higher-for-longer" rate environment. 

Consequently, investors appeared to rotate capital away from volatile growth sectors and toward defensive staples, evidenced by Walmart's 6% gain following its own earnings beat. Ultimately, the market could not sustain the morning's euphoria, as traders prioritized rate realities over AI potential.

Zooming In On Redwire (RDW)

Redwire’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 96 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock gained 2% on the news that the company announced it was awarded a $44 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The phase 2 contract provided funding to advance DARPA's Otter Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) mission. The funds were allocated to complete the manufacturing and delivery of what was described as the world's first "air-breathing" spacecraft. Redwire utilized its SabreSat platform for the project, which aimed to advance next-generation orbital capabilities. The contract award highlighted the company's role in developing innovative space and defense technology solutions.

Redwire is down 70.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $5.06 per share, it is trading 80.3% below its 52-week high of $25.66 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Redwire’s shares at the IPO in January 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $485.69.

What Happened?

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after the broader U.S. stock market declined amid investor caution and a pullback in technology stocks. 

The main story? Investors are cashing in on a good run and feeling a bit cautious. After a fantastic run, many of those high-flying AI and technology stocks saw investors take profits: selling shares to lock in their gains.This is often called a "market rotation." Money is moving out of the red-hot tech sector (which some worry has become too expensive) and into other parts of the market that investors may currently deem more stable or reasonably-priced. 

There's a secondary reason for the cautious mood: The long government shutdown came to an end. Though it's typically interpreted as good news, it also means a flood of delayed economic reports will be released. For weeks, investors were "flying blind" without key updates on the economy's health, like inflation data and the jobs report. In typical "sell the news" fashion, investors may also be taking profits and selling in anticipation that the new data would potentially give the Federal Reserve reasons to slow or even pause future rate cuts.

Zooming In On 3D Systems (DDD)

3D Systems’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 72 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 7 days ago when the stock dropped 10.1% on the news that the company reported third-quarter financial results that showed a significant drop in revenue. Although the company's loss per share of $0.08 was better than the forecasted loss of $0.12, it missed revenue expectations, reporting $91.2 million against an anticipated $97.68 million. This figure represented a 19% decline compared to the same period in the previous year. The weakness was broad-based, as the company’s Industrial Solutions and Healthcare Solutions segments both experienced large revenue drops of 16% and 22%, respectively. The sharp fall in sales overshadowed the better-than-expected earnings, leading to a negative reaction from investors.

3D Systems is down 32.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.16 per share, it is trading 54.2% below its 52-week high of $4.72 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of 3D Systems’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $300.00.

What Is The Market Telling Us

3D Systems’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 73 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for 3D Systems and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 17 days ago when the stock gained 19.5% on the news that positive news on corporate earnings, easing political and trade tensions, and optimism about future interest rate cuts all converged to lift investor sentiment. 

The overall market, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite, climbed significantly.A major catalyst was Apple shares rising 4% after a firm upgraded its rating, citing improving iPhone demand and predicting a long growth cycle. More broadly, the third-quarter earnings season got off to a strong start, with 76% of the 58 S&P 500 companies beating expectations, lifting the market's mood. 

Additionally, there was hope for an end to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which is seen as good for the economy. Investors also moved past recent fears over credit risks that had caused a sell-off the previous week, with shares of regional banks rebounding. Finally, signs that trade tensions with China were de-escalating, including expectations that new tariffs might be avoided, added to the overall positive momentum, leading traders to focus on more favorable factors like earnings and potential Federal Reserve rate cuts.

3D Systems is down 27.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.31 per share, it is trading 51.1% below its 52-week high of $4.72 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of 3D Systems’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $370.19.
