On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Lockheed Martin (LTM) is leading defense stocks higher this morning amid growing tensions in the Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Iran continues, with both sides exchanging strikes, and Trump has not ruled out further talks or sending a high-level official to meet with Iran.


- Conoco Phillips (COP) is higher this morning along with other energy stocks amid the Israel-Iran conflict. The situation remains volatile, with global markets still fearful of the war spreading to other countries in the oil- and gas-producing region, and the US deploying an aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East ahead of schedule. The risk of oil-driven price pressures adds to the uncertainty facing central banks, with Federal Reserve officials signaling a prolonged pause in interest rates and investors watching for clues about what could eventually prompt a policy move.


- Eli Lilly (LLY) is lower on M&A news that the company is looking to buy Verve Therapeutics, according to a report from the Financial Times. Eli Lilly is reportedly in advanced talks to buy the gene-editing startup for as much as $1.3 billion. Eli Lilly would pay almost $1 billion upfront and another $300 million based on Verve reaching clinical milestones, according to FT.


- T-Mobile (TMUS) is sliding this morning after a report that SoftBank raised around $4.8 billion through a sale of 21.5 million T-Mobile US Inc. shares at $224 each. The deal represents a 3% discount to T-Mobile US's Monday closing price of $230.99 per share and is the biggest US share sale since February.
