The Biggest S&P 500 Movers on Friday

Advancers:

• Shares of cable, internet, and telephone services provider Charter Communications (CHTR) surged 11.4%, logging the S&P 500's top daily performance. In its first-quarter earnings report, released Friday morning, Charter reported better-than-expected revenues, although earnings per share (EPS) came in slightly below forecasts. The company also topped expectations for m⭕🌊obile phone line additions and lost fewer video subscribers than anticipated, citing benefits from streamlined pricing and packaging of video services.  
• Tesla (TSLA) shares jumped 9.8% after the Trump administration announced that it would 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:loosen 🎶regulations on autonomous vehicles in the U.S., aiming to help domestic firms compete with rivals in China. Friday closed out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best week for Tesla stock since November. The stock has risen in every session since CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday said he would scale back his government work and dedicate more time to Tesla, overshadowing a 🥂澳洲幸运5开🐭奖号码历史查询:disappointing first-quarter earnings report.
• Internet services provider VeriSign (VRSN) topped first-quarter sales and profit estimates, and its shares powered 8% higher. The company also announced a cash dividend and increased its full-year guidance. An uptick in domain name registrations compared with the previous quarter helped underpin the strong results and upbeat forecast.

Decliners:

• First-quarter EPS posted by Erie Indemnity (ERIE) fell well shy of expectations, and shares of the insurance firm plunged 11.5%, dropping the most of any S&P 500 stock on Friday. Although revenue came in slightly ahead of forecasts, higher operational costs weighed on profitability.
• Shares of telecommunications giant T-Mobile US (TMUS) tumbled 11.2%. Although quarterly sales and profits exceeded consensus forecasts, T-Mobile reported fewer-ಌthan-expected postpaid wireless subscriber additions, and its postpaid 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:churn rate ticked higher year-over-year. The company's CEO also suggested that customers will have to pay more for their cell phones if tariffs result in higher prices.
• Insurance and professional services provider Aon (AON) missed quarterly revenue and EPS estimates, and its shares fell 8%. Increasing expenses, including debt and employee compensation costs, dragged down profits, while Aon's interest income dropped significantly from the previous year.

Why Tesla Had Its Best Week Since November

Tesla (TSLA) 🌄stock posted its best week since November’s presidential election🀅 as investors looked ahead to a future with looser autonomous car regulations and a more focused CEO. 

Tesla shares soared nearly 10% on Friday after the Department of Transportation released 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:an Automated Vehicle Framework intended to relax regulatory standards. The stock gained 18% this week, easily its best week this year and its biggest weekly gain since rising nearly 30% the week 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Donald Trump was re-elected. 

Shares rose more than 4.5% on Tuesday amid a broad stock rally driven by optimism that the Trump administration 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:will lower the steep tariff rates it imposed earlier this month. The stock's ascent picked up pace on Wednesday after Musk assured investors that, starting in May, he would 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:spend less time leading President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, a position that investors worry has both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:distracted Musk and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:damaged Tesla’s brand. 

Musk’s decision to re-focus on Tesla offset otherwise 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bleak quarterly results. The electric vehicle maker reported a 20% decline in automotive revenue, narrower margins, and a nearly 40% decline in adjusted earnings. It also declined to issue full-year guidancꦫe in light of the uncertainty surrounding tariffs and the overall economic outlook. 

In the near term, the company faces a bumpy road, with tariffs expected to drive up manufacturing costs and, in the event of a recession, curb consumer spending. The company could also struggle to shake its association with President Trump, whose unpopularity abroad has contributed to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a sharp drop in Tesla sales even as total EV sales havꦚe risen.

Analysts at several firms, including JPMorgan and Bank of America, lowered their estimates of Tesla’s full-year earnings after Tuesday’s disappointing numbers. At the same time, several 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:left their price targets unchanged, reflecting Wall Str✨eet’s faith in Tesla’s ability to overcome near-te❀rm headwinds.

Musk has said Tesla’s value—he has forecast it will be “the most valuable company in the world 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:and probably by a long shot”—has as much, if not more, to do with its development of AI, autonomous driving, and robotics than the electric vehicles that account for the bulk of its revenue today. On Tuesday’s earnings call, Musk 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:reiterated some ambitious timelines for the rollout of self-driving cars, robotaxis,ܫ and humanoid robots

Alphabet Levels to Watch After AI-Fueled Earnings Beat

Alphabet (GOOGL) shares rose Friday after the Google parent posted quarterly results that topped Wall Street expectations amid AI-fuelꦿed search advertising growth.

Alphabet shares were up 1.6% at around $162 in late trading, as several analysts raised their price targets for the stock after the strong earnings report. Despite gains over the past week, the stock is 15% lower since the start of the year, due in part to worries over whether the company’s significant inve☂stment in AI infrastructure will pay off.

Alphabet shares have trended lower within a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:descending channel throughout most of this year, with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:50-day moving average (MA) recently crossing below the 200-day MA to form an ominous 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:death cross, a chart pattern that signal lower prices.

However, the stock staged a breakout above the pattern’s uppꦜer trendline ဣin Thursday’s trading session, which set the stage for today's post-earnings gain.

Meanwhile, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:relative strength index (RSI) flashes a neutral reading, but remains well below 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:overbought levels, providing ample room for further upsi꧑de.

Investors should watch crucial overhead areas on Alphabet's chart around $168, $182 and $196, while also watching a critical support level near $155.

Charter Communications Jumps as Subs Top Estimates

Charter Communications (CHTR) stock soared to lead 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:S&P 500 gainers Friday after the company added more mobile phone lines and lost fewer v𒊎ideo customers than analysts had expected in the first q🌠uarter.

The owner of Spectrum cable, internet, and phone services generated $13.74 billion in revenue, up slightly year-over-year and above the $13.68 billion Visible Alpha forecast. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $8.42, up nearly 12% from the ye𝐆ar-ago quarter but still 7 cents shy of estimates.

Charter added 514,000 mobile phone lines in the quarter, better than the roughly 477,000 that analysts were expecting. The company lost 60,000 internet subscribers, more than expected, but about 9,000 of those losses were due to the January 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:wildfires in California.

The company also lost fewer video subscribers than estimated at 181,000, much improved from the 405,000-subscriber decline a year ago. Charter said its narrowing loss was "driven by new and simplified pricing and packaging," like its bundle that gives cable subscribers access to the ad-supported tier of a number of streaming services.

Charter shares were up 11% in late trading. With today's surge, the stock has moved back into positive territory for 2025.

Stocks Trigger '100% Accurate' Bullish Signal

The stock market just hit a milestone that some market watchers sa꧟y is a sure sign of more gains ahead. 

Stocks on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Thursday completed a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zweig Breadth Thrust (ZBT), which is realized when the share of rising stocks increases from a moving average of less than 40% to more than 61.5% within a 10-day period. The rare occurrence, which has only been seen 19 times in the last 80 years, is considered a sign of increasing market momentum driven by broad bullish 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sentiment. 

"This signal has been 100% accurate since WWII, with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:S&P 500 higher 6- and 12-months later every single time," according to Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group. Looking at the last 19 ZBT signals, the S&P 500 has averaged a 6-month return of ꧟14.8% and a 1-year return of 23.4%,♕ according to Detrick. 

Stocks have rebounded from their 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"Liberation Day" slump amid optimism that the White House is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:eager to defuse tensions with China, which the administration has slapped with tariffs totaling 145% this year. The S&P 500 was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:up slightly on Friday after rising more than 1.5% in ꧑each of the last three sessi🦩ons. 

Not everyone is sold on ZBT’s predictive power. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Technical analyst Tom McClellan, in 2015, examined Breadth Thrusts be♏tween 1929 and 𓆏1934 and found them to be much less reliable bullish signals. 

The first signal in this period came in November 1930, and it did precede a strong upswing. "But its bullish effect petered out after just a few months, and the bear market was back on," McClellan wrote. Over the next two years, four more Breadth Thrusts failed to break the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bear market.

"It was only in April 1933 that there was finally a good signal that led to follow-on buying," McClellan said. But that signal was followed by two more in 1934 that didn’t come to much. 

McClellan was writing in 2015, when a ZBT signal was triggered just months after stocks hit a record high. "I cannot offer much in the way of optimistic commentary about this current ZBT signal," McClellan wrote, "especially since it has occurred at a point that appears to be the early stage of a new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:downtrend."

Stocks did rise after that ZBT signal, but it was one of the weakest ZBT rallies on record, with the S&P 500 up just 1.4% and 7% over the next 6 and 12 months, respectively, according to Detrick's data.

Gold Levels to Watch as Metal Retreats From Record High

Gold (XAUUSD) lost ground again Friday, extending a ♌bumpy ride for the prec🍬ious metal.

Gold surged𒁃 to its all-time high of near $3,500 early Tuesday before plunging on Wednesday, as investors digested headlines on tariffs and investors reassessed their appetite for risk.

The price of gold has gained about 25% since the start of the year, boosted by worries that tariffs could slow 澳洲幸🅠运5开奖号码历史查询ꩵ:economic growth and reignite inflation, sending investors flocking to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:safe-haveജ&nb𒈔sp;asset that is often seen a hedge against rising prices.

After gold hits its record high earlier this week, it staged a dramatic intraday reversal to form a bearish 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:shooting star candlestick pattern. The recent downside move also coincided with a steep drop in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:relative strength index (RSI) below overbought levels, indicating a 🎶strong✅ momentum shift.

Zooming out, the commodity has trended sharply higher since mid-December, replicating a basic 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elliot Wave pattern with five distinct pr♒ice swings, wh🌠ich is then typically followed by a corrective phase.

Investors should watch key support levels on gold's chart around $3,145, $2,955, and $2,790, while also watching a critical overhead area near $3,500.

Gold wa🌸s down 1.8♛% at $3,290 an ounce in recent trading.

Tesla Extends Gains as US Loosens Self-Driving Car Rules

Tesla (TSLA) shares jumped Friday, extending a rally that followed CEO Elon Musk's pledged to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:🦂spend more of his time focus🌸ing on the company and less working with the federal government, as the Trump administr🐈ation mo🎃ved to loosen rules around self-driving cars.

The stock was🌳 up over 9% in recent trading, making it one of the top-performing stocks on the S&P 5꧟00 and Nasdaq Friday.

The Trump administration said Thursday 𒊎it would loosen rules governing autonomous vehicles, in an effort to help U.S. firms compete with Chinese rivals.

“This Administration understands that we’re in a race with China to out-innovate, and the stakes couldn’t be higher,” U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy said in a release. “As part of DOT's innovation agenda, our new framework will slash red tape and move us closer to a single national standard that spurs innovation and prioritizes safety.”

The move would benefit Tesla, which has long touted autonomous cars as central to its growth prospects. Musk said during the company's earnings call Tuesday that Tesla expects to be selling fully autonomous rides in Austin, Texas, i🤡n June, with that business expanding to other cities this year and becoming financially material in the🎉 second half of 2026. 

Tesla shares have been rallying since the call, as investors focused on Musk's commitment to spend more time at Tesla, and the company's plans for a cheaper model and fully self-driving vehicles, rather than its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:weaker-than-expected results.

With Friday's gains, shares have added about 17% this week. Still, the electric vehicle maker’s stock has lost 30% of its value since the start of the year.

Alphabet Climbs as Analysts Raise Targets on AI-Driven Growth

Shares of Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) climbed Friday as several analysts raised their price targets for the stock after the tech giant delivered 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:better-than-expected quarterly res𓆏ults and touted the early success of AI features.

Alphabet's Class A shares were up 2% at $165 in recent trading, propelling it into the ranks of the best-performing stocks on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:S&P 500 Friday.

Citi analysts 𝔍raised their price target to $200 from $195, pointing to growing usage and monetization of AI features in Search, including AI Overviews, which Goog♚le said has reached 1.5 billion monthly users roughly a year after launch. “We believe Google’s GenAI search tools are gaining traction,” Citi said. 

Bank of America, which likewise raised its price target to $200, said Google also “has data and distribution advantages” against rivals like ChatGPT d✨eveloper OpenAI in terms of driving AI usage gro♔wth.

Wedbush boosted its target to $200 as well, calling out Google’s growth potential “as investors gain more comfort related to the current macro environment, regulatory risk, and🌌 the impact of generative AI on Google Search.”

Meanwhile, Je🌄fferies analysts reiterated a price target of $200, while JPMorgan maintained a target of $195.

CFO Anat Ashkenazi said during the company’s earnings call Thursday that Alphabet still plans to spend 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:$75 billion in capital expenditures this year, most of which is expected to go toward bui☂lding out the company's AI infrastructure. The investments “should help us have a more resilient organization, irrespective of macroeconomic conditions," Ashkenazi said.

T-Mobile US Sinks on Slow Phone Subscriber Growth

Shares of T-Mobile US () tumbled early Friday after the cellphon♋e service provider said it added fewer wireless customers than expected and warned that customers would have to pay more if new tariffs raised phone prices.

The company reported that it had 495,000 new postpaid phone customers in the first quarter, a drop of 37,000 from the year before. Analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha were looking for 499,000. In addition, the postpaid "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:churn rate," a key metric for the industry, rose 5 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:basis points to 0.91%. 

Adding to the concerns for investors were comments by CEO Mike Sievert, who toldYahoo! Finance that T-Mobile is closely watching the situation with potential tariffs on cellphones, and said that if they happen and are significant, "that's going to have to be borne by the customer. I mean, our model isn't prepared for something like that."

The news offset the carrier’s better-than-expected financial results. T-Mobile posted 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:earnings per share (EPS) of $2.58 on revenue that grew nearly 7% year-over-year to $20.89 billion, both above forওecasts.

The company increased its full-year outlook for core 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:adjusted EBITDA and raised the lower end of its guidance ranges for net cash provided by operating activities and adjusted 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:free cash flow.

T-Mobile shares were down more than 9% recently, cutting the stock's year-to-date gain to about 7%.

Major Indexes on Track for Winning Week

With three straight days of big gains under their belt, major U.S. stock indexes entered Friday's session on track to post weekly gains for the second time in the last three weeks.

Through Thursday's close, the Dow had gained 2.4% so far this week, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were up 3.8% and 5.4%, respectively. Though sizable, this week's gains are still lower than those recorded the week before last.

The indexes remai🦩n in the red for the month, though the Nasdaq isꦓ just barely so.

Watch These Intel Levels as Stock Drops on Weak Outlook

Intel (INTC) shares plunged in premarket trading Friday after the chipmaker posted a quarterly outlook that fell short of Wal🍌l Stree♒t expectations.

The chipmaker late Thursday said un🍸certainty surroundi𝄹ng the Trump administration’s tariff policies had led customers to stockpile chips in ✱the first quarter, which it expects will weigh on current quarter revenue as a result. Newly installed CEO Lip-Bu Tan cautioned that it would take the company time to gain market share and drive sustainable growth. 

Intel shares have outperformed the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:S&P 500 since the start of the year amid hopes of a turnaround under Lip-Bu Tan’s leadership. How🔯ever, the stock is down about 40% over the past 12 months amid worries about the company’s strategic direction and its inability to m🔥ake inroads into the booming AI chip market.

Since gapping sharply lower last August, Intel shares have drifted sideways in an extended 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:trading range, h𝄹elping to establish identifiable trading levels.

More recently, an upswing in the stock, which coincided with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:relative strength index (RSI) reclaiming the 50 threshold, looks set to end abruptly on Friday following the chipmaker’s uninspir𒁏ing earnings report.

Investors should watch major support levels on Intel's chart around $19 and $15, while also monitoring key overhead areas near $22 and $26.

Intel shares were down 7% at ღaround $20 ahead of the opening bell on Friday.
