Several moves were explicitly linked to earnings beats, revenue misses, or guidance updates, and others appear tied to deal-related news or company announcements.
Context for movers - In the mega-cap bucket, several semiconductor and technology names showed notable strength, while a handful of firms in software and retail categories posted declines after earnings or guidance developments. Middle- and small-cap listings delivered the most extreme single-day percentage moves, both positive and negative.
