This is the closing bell on the stock

movers report. [music] The companies

making moves at the close of US trading

with Carol Masser, Tim [music] Stenc,

Roma Bostic, and Katie Grifeld.

>> All right guys, let's go to some of the

individual gainers if I may. Micron

Technology up uh at its high 6.7%

[music]

finishing the day with a gain of about

3.7%

here. Also, the Philadelphia

semiconductor index, we saw that average

also higher on the day thanks to Micron.

>> Now, are all these chips actually made

in Philadelphia? [laughter]

>> That's a great

>> just the cheese steak ones.

>> Okay. Yeah.

>> Okay. I love cheese stakes, but

>> sure thing.

>> Uh 25 names in the socks higher today.

Five unchanged. So Micron which reports

on Wednesday uh shares are up uh lifted

the group as a whole especially those

memory and storage companies as analyst

optimism grows ahead of the chip makers

results later on this week. Stock is up

around 60% year to date. Uh so we are

watching that sector throughout the week

and as I mentioned the socks also up

about 2% for the day overall. Uh moving

on over to Dollar Tree and Dollar

General. Uh those names also higher

today. Dollar Tree up about six and a

half percent. Uh best day since June. Um

this one as it's uh announced it

strategy to introduce higher priced a

item to uh is actually helping to

increase its sales especially with

wealthier shoppers. So company shifting

merchandise and stores to sell more

goods in a range of $3 to5 including

toys and party supplies. That boosted

results last quarter. So you have that

at play. I also want to mention that the

independent was out on Dollar General

and that one was up about two and a

quarter%. Uh it's introducing a new

store format designed to encourage

customers to browse and treasure hunt

before they make a purchase and they're

also planning to pilot a subscription

program as part of its loyalty efforts

and they're going to open up some new

stores in 2026 focus on rural areas. So

both of those names hire. And then for

something a little bit different, uh,

ticker DSGR, Distribution Solutions,

shares soaring 35% in today's session.

It's, uh, a $1.2 billion market cap

industrial distribution company, and it

received a preliminary non-binding

proposal from LKCM, Headwater

Investments to basically buy it for

29.50 a share. But the stock did close

uh, at 26 and change. So, I don't know,

maybe investors are expecting more. I

don't know. Anyway, I just thought it

was something different and interesting.

You had so many gainers to choose from.

I envy you.

>> You You actually would have liked me. I

You know, remain. You don't have

anything to add?

>> No, Carol.

>> What's wrong, Bailey? What's wrong with

him?

>> You were perfect today. [laughter]

>> Oh, wait. What? What?

>> That was I I didn't Okay, let's start

with the decliners. Uh CF Industries

down 5.6%. This is a stock that's up

close to 60% year to date. Scotia Bank

downgraded KN&S and warned that uh CF

industries and nutrient valuations are

looking quote overstretched amid the

rally since the conflict in Iran started

once again. Uh fertilizer stocks fell

today. CF Industries falling by 5.6%.

And a little M&A news for my next one.

Uh PSA US it's public storage shares

today fell by 2.7%. This after the

company agreed to acquire National

Storage Affiliates Trust. It's an all

stock deal worth about $10.5 billion in

including debt. The combined company

expected to have a combined market value

of about 57 billion and an enterprise

value of $77 billion. And a late

addition, this is an interesting one.

One main holding shares. Uh this is a

company that is in the financial

services industry. It does provides

personal and auto loan products. Shares

today fell by 5.4% 4% this after New

York Attorney General Leticia James

along with a bipartisan coalition of 12

other AGs filed a lawsuit against the

company and its units for allegedly

misleading customers and trapping

borrowers in expensive loans uh excuse

me with expensive and often useless

additional products. That's what the

suit alleges. Uh we should note that one

main financial out with a statement they

call this a meritless lawsuit brought by

states and they say the state's

allegations are simply untrue. Their

case is wrong on the facts and wrong on

the law and attempts to relitigate

issues that were already reviewed by the

CFPB and fully resolved. We operate

honestly and transparently in full

compliance with all laws and

regulations. The statement uh continues,

but that's the gist of it. Down uh 5.4%

today. All right, a quick check on

yields. Of course, on a day where we saw

oil actually decline and we saw the

dollar decline as well. In fact, the

biggest drop that we've seen in the

Bloomberg Dollar Spot index in about a

month and a half. Yields following lower

as well, about four to five basis points

pretty much across the board ahead of

that big Fed decision day on Wednesday.
