 Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Scarlet Fu, Alix Steel, David Gura and Norah Mulinda.

- Netflix (NFLX) shares soared today as investors like what CEO Greg Peters had to say at a conference in London. Speaking at the event, the streamer's leader said he was optimistic about Netflix's growth prospects despite President Donald Trump's threats to impose tariffs on the film industry.

- Lockheed Martin (LMT) shares fell as much as 7% on the news that the Air Force is cutting in half its request to Congress for F-35s. A Defense Department procurement request document sent to Capitol Hill this week asked for 24 of the planes, down from 48 that was forecast last year. The proposed cut is significant because the Air Force is the largest customer for the world’s biggest weapons program. The scaling back of the F-35 request may reflect one way the service is revising its funding for fiscal 2026 to comply with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plan to shift projected US military spending by 8% over the next five years.

- Vera Bradley (VRA) shares fell as much as 24%, a record drop, after the retailer suspends guidance and announced the departure of its CEO. The pulled guidance reflects executive and board leadership changes and “significant uncertainty surrounding the consumer environment,” the company said.
