Stock market today: Nasdaq logs best week of 2025 as Dow, S&P 500 notch third-straight weekly gain
Published On Feb 14, 2025, 4:03 PM
US stocks showed mixed performance last week, with the Nasdaq reaching an all-time high, while the S&P 500 and the Dow slightly declined. Retail sales for January fell 0.9%, notably below expectations, indicating a slowdown in consumer spending. Meanwhile, significant fluctuations were seen in individual stock performances: Airbnb shares surged after exceeding earnings expectations, GameStop rose amid speculation regarding potential investment in cryptocurrency, and Moderna saw its stock fall following a larger-than-expected earnings loss. Nvidia and Apple both experienced gains, driven by strong market performance and tech sector momentum. There's ongoing market attention on Trump's tariff plans affecting global trade, which may further influence stocks in the future.
Stock Forecasts
ABNB
Positive
Airbnb's recent results and stated intention to expand its platform suggest potential ongoing growth in the travel sector, marked by its CEO's ambitious plans to broaden the company's offerings akin to Amazon. With strong consumer demand anticipated into the first quarter, this positions Airbnb favorably for continued investment.
GME
Neutral
GameStop's stock movement due to speculation about cryptocurrency investments can be seen as a positive trend; however, it hinges on market sentiment, which can be volatile. If the company successfully integrates cryptos into its operations, it could see long-term gains.
MRNA
Negative
Moderna faced a setback with a larger-than-anticipated earnings loss, which may continue to weigh down its shares in the near term as investors reassess its market position amid ongoing challenges in the vaccine space.
NVDA
Positive
The recent rally in Nvidia stock due to its equity adjustments has made it one of the week's top performers. Given its strategic investments in AI and autonomous driving companies, Nvidia appears well-positioned for further growth, especially in a booming tech landscape.
