Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Gain; Apple, Nvidia, Nebius, Eightco, More Movers; Jobs Data Revision
The Dow on Tuesday joined the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite in trading north of its closing high.
The blue-chip index was up 214 points, or 0.5%, and on track to close above its Aug. 28 record close of 45,636.90. This would just be the Dow’s third closing high of 2025, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
The S&P 500 was up 0.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.2%. Both were on track for their 22nd closing highs of 2025.
If the gains hold, it would mark the first time since Dec. 4 that the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq each had a record close on the same day, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
Market breadth wasn’t great, as a majority of S&P stocks were down on the day. In the Dow, however, 17 of the 30 stocks were rising, and two of the heaviest hitters were packing a serious punch.
UnitedHealth led the Dow with an 8.8% gain. It managed to add 172.73 points to the Dow on Tuesday. The Dow measures its members by stock price rather than market cap, so firms with big stock prices have more pull in the index. UnitedHealth used to be the top dog in the Dow, but the troubled healthcare firm has shed nearly half of its value since a one-year peak of $630.73.
Goldman Sachs, with a stock price north of $750, was up 1.9% on Tuesday. That added 131 points to the Dow.
