Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Volkswagen shares gain as much as 9.7%, the biggest intraday move since March 2023, after the carmaker’s supervisory board backed a sweeping restructuring that includes 50,000 additional job cuts. Analysts say the plan is necessary for the company to remain competitive, while cautioning that execution will be key.
- Morgan Stanley analysts increase their price targets on truck stocks under their coverage amid continued strong global demand, but say the sector’s rally this year means the risk-reward is “considerably less attractive.” Daimler Truck is downgraded to equal-weight from overweight, removing their only buy-equivalent rating.
- Navitas Petroleum and Rockhopper Exploration are trading lower today as tensions around the Falklands Islands rise and Argentina targets their Sea Lion project. The South American country said it will speed up sanctions against companies working around the islands without its approval.
