On this episode of Stock Movers, we take a look at some of the week's biggest gainers and decliners:

-Apple (AAPL) stock rose more than 4% to end the week, outperforming a sharply weaker technology sector.

Rivian said it saw strong quarter-over-quarter growth for its commercial van and R1 EVs as it began sales of the new R2 electric SUV.

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Shares of Nike (NKE) are edging higher following the US market open. The company's executives gave a cautious outlook and warned about elevated consumer anxiety on Tuesday, adding to investor concerns about the sportswear company’s painfully slow turnaround. Nike expects a slowdown in the coming quarter compared to the current period, citing the timing of wholesale shipments in North America among other factors.
- Shares of Coherent (COHR) are falling on Wall Street, following its semiconductor peers lower amid investor concerns over the staying power of chip demand given price increases seen across Apple and Xbox products. A potential delay to OpenAI’s IPO, as reported by the New York Times, also dampened risk sentiment.
- Shares of Madison Square Garden Sports and Entertainment (MSGS & MSGE) are moving lower ahead of the long July 4th weekend. All eyes will be on the "World's Most Famous Arena" with America’s equivalent of a royal couple slated for Friday. Pop star Taylor Swift and three-time Super Bowl Champion Travis Kelce set to exchange vows at a celebrity-studded event on July 3 at MSG with about 1,000 guests, according to people familiar with the matter. The security deployment for the two-day event is on par with a regular-season sporting event, and comes during a long weekend that already carries heightened precautions for the Fourth of July and the country’s 250th anniversary.

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Shares of Palantir (PLTR) are moving higher after DA Davidson & Co raised its recommendation to buy from neutral as it sees the technology company having a competitive advantage to artificial intelligence companies that have been at odds with the US government. Analyst Gil Luria notes that Anthropic’s recent confrontations with the US government could pose disruption risks to its enterprise customers.
- Shares of Tesla (TSLA) declined at the US market open despite posting vehicles sales that beat Wall Street’s modest expectations by a wide margin, gaining in a slower-growing global market for plug-in cars. The company delivered 480,126 vehicles worldwide in the second quarter. The figure announced in a statement Thursday exceeded the average estimate compiled by Bloomberg of 396,466 vehicles. Deliveries rose 25% from a year earlier, when Tesla faced widespread consumer backlash against Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s polarizing work for the Trump administration.
- Shares of Meta (META) declined in the Thursday session following their biggest single day jump since January. The company is developing plans for a cloud infrastructure business that will sell access to AI computing power and models, setting up a new vector of competition with industry leaders like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Meta, which has been rushing to secure expensive data centers and other infrastructure to fuel its own artificial intelligence ambitions, is forming a business to generate revenue from excess computing power sold to outside customers, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named as the details aren’t public.
