  • Memory stocks like Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate (STX) gained during trading today on renewed enthusiasm in AI-related companies. After the bell, Seagate reported earnings that beat estimates. Shares of Seagate initially dropped in postmarket trading. 
  • JetBlue (JBLU) reassured Wall Street that it’ll be profitable next year, as the debt-laden carrier seeks to overcome persistent losses and high oil prices to prevent a deeper restructuring. JetBlue rose 20% to $2.86 as of 11 a.m. New York time, with other US major carriers seeing fractional or single-digit gains. The stock had sunk to its lowest level on record on Monday before the earnings report was released, sliding by as much as 18%. 
  • Boeing (BA) shares fell during trading after the planemaker reported a wider-than-expected loss in its main commercial airplane business.
