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, Norah Mulinda and Tim Stenovec.

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Fastenal (FAST) shares were 4% higher at the close after the company posted earnings in line with estimates this morning. Analysts see the slightly better-than-expected June earnings as an encouraging sign amid tariff uncertainty. Fastinal CEO Daniel Florness says it is difficult to move manufacturing fully back to the United States and is seeing "limited" signs its customers are shifting manufacturing back to the US.

- Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD) shares were up 2% after Superman ticket sales beat expectations, bringing in $125 million domestically and $220 million worldwide, according to a statement from Warner Brothers. Superman is the opening chapter in a 10-year plan to interweave movies and TV shows based on DC comic-book characters such as Batman and Wonder Woman.

- Waters (WAT) shares dropped as much as 10%, the most intraday since January 2023, after the life sciences company said it will merge with Becton Dickinson’s Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions business in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction valued at about $17.5 billion. Jefferies says the deal adds “variables” to Waters’ “clean” story.  The stock is down 18% year-to-date.
