Stock market today: Nasdaq, S&P 500 eke out gains as Dow, bitcoin drop with all eyes on Nvidia earnings

Published On Feb 26, 2025, 5:03 PM

The stock market closed mixed as President Trump discussed new tariffs during a cabinet meeting, while investors awaited Nvidia's earnings report. Nvidia's Q4 earnings beat expectations, reporting $39.3 billion in revenue and $0.89 EPS, causing shares to rise about 4% in after-hours trading. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained around 0.3%, but the Dow Jones fell 0.4%, influenced by fears of tariffs on EU auto imports and over a 4% drop in Bitcoin prices. Nvidia's strong results and favorable guidance may provide upward momentum for tech stocks, despite ongoing concerns regarding tariffs and market volatility.
