Trading across the watchlist was mixed on October 15, with no stock moving enough to qualify as a sharp swing. UnitedHealth Group (UNH) topped the gainers, while SpaceX (SPCX) posted the largest decline of the session.
Chip and EV names were the session’s softer corner: NVIDIA (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Tesla (TSLA) each closed lower, pulling back from their prior session’s closes. Financials and payments names fared better, with Visa (V) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) both finishing in positive territory alongside UnitedHealth.
Megacap technology was largely muted. Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOGL) edged higher, while Apple (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN) and Meta Platforms (META) each closed within a fraction of a percent of their prior-day levels.
