Trading on October 23 was broadly quiet, with every name on the watchlist moving less than 2% in either direction. Gains were scarce: SpaceX (SPCX) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) were the session’s best performers, while Microsoft (MSFT) also edged higher. The rest of the list leaned lower, led down by UnitedHealth Group (UNH), Visa (V) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM), with Alphabet (GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (META) also finishing in the red.
Megacap technology names were mixed but mostly softer. Amazon.com (AMZN), Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA) and Apple (AAPL) all slipped modestly, with Apple essentially flat on the day. Financials and healthcare names showed the largest declines of the session, while chipmakers AMD and NVIDIA diverged, with AMD higher and NVIDIA lower.
Overall, the session lacked a clear sector pattern beyond financials (JPM, V) and healthcare (UNH) underperforming while AMD and SpaceX outperformed. No move on the list was large enough to stand out as more than a routine single-day fluctuation.
Notable movers
SpaceX (SPCX) led the watchlist’s gainers, closing at 147.49 versus a prior close of 144.75.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) rose to 516.79 from 507.93, among the stronger performers in the group.
UnitedHealth Group (UNH) was among the session’s weakest names, falling to 418.09 from 424.98.
Visa (V) declined to 407.92 from 414.34, one of the larger drops on the watchlist alongside fellow decliner JPMorgan Chase (JPM).
