Stock Market Today: Intel Rallies After Trump Signals Support for CEO Amid U.S. Chip Strategy Talks
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) climbed 5.5% on Tuesday to close at $21.81, fueled by renewed political momentum and heightened investor interest. Trading volume surged to 131.5 million shares -- over 55% above the 3-month average -- as traders responded positively to reports of a White House meeting between Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan and President Donald Trump. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 1.4%, while the S&P 500 added 1.1%. Semiconductors broadly benefited from a combination of bullish sentiment, favorable inflation reports, and speculation around new U.S. industrial policy. Despite continued competition from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), which rose 0.9%, and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), up 0.5%, Intel's political tailwind provided a unique catalyst. Still, investors are watching closely for signs of execution on its manufacturing roadmaps and commitments from major U.S. customers. Tan's meeting with Trump marks a reversal in tone from just days earlier, when the president publicly called for Tan's resignation over alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Following Monday's sit-down, the two are expected to meet again next week, with analysts suggesting Intel may now be positioned as a strategic partner in Trump's push for expanded domestic chip manufacturing.

These 3 Companies Shattered Quarterly Records
The 2025 Q2 earnings cycle continues to wind down, with the vast majority of S&P 500 companies already delivering results. The period has been one of resilience, with overall growth remaining strong alongside positive revisions for the upcoming Q3 cycle. But more specifically, this cycle, several companies – Apple AAPL, Eaton ETN, and DoorDash DASH – posted quarterly records in one way or another, with each also seeing favorable price action post-earnings. Let's take a closer look at what drove the positivity. Eaton Sees Big Backlog Eaton is an intelligent power management company that provides products for the data center, utility, industrial, commercial, machine building, residential, aerospace, and mobility markets. Shares have been a big beneficiary of the AI frenzy thanks to the data center exposure, up 25% over the past year and outperforming the S&P 500. Accelerating orders and continued backlog growth contributed to its record-breaking quarter, with adjusted EPS of $2.95 reflecting a Q2 record and up 8% year-over-year. Further adding to the positivity, organic sales grew 8% from the year-ago period, with segment margins of 23.9% also reflecting a Q2 record. Below is a chart illustrating the company's sales on a quarterly basis. ETN shares also reflect a great opportunity for those with an appetite for income, sporting a 7.5% five-year annualized dividend growth rate. Impressively, the company has paid a dividend on its shares every year since 1923. Below is a chart illustrating its dividends paid on an annual basis. Please note that the final value is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis, as ETN's current fiscal-year is still ongoing. Apple Remains Stellar Beloved tech titan Apple reported notably strong results, posting quarterly records for sales, iPhone revenue, and EPS. And for the cherry on top, Services revenue of $27.4 billion not only reflected a quarterly record but an all-time one as well. Below is a chart illustrating the company's Services revenue on a quarterly basis. Apple's installed base of active devices also reached a new all-time record, further adding to the positivity. The tech titan continued to generate serious cash throughout the period, with free cash flow totaling a sizable $24.4 billion. The company's rock-solid operations and fundamentals have allowed it to command a higher multiple over the years, with shares currently trading at a 29.3X forward 12-month earnings multiple, in line with the five-year median and reflecting a 30% premium relative to the S&P 500. EPS is currently forecasted to climb 8.6% in its current fiscal year and 6.6% in the next. DoorDash Orders Surge DoorDash shares have been red-hot in 2025, gaining more than 50% and widely outperforming relative to the S&P 500. Its latest set of quarterly results helped confirm the bullish trend, with DASH posting records for Total Orders, Marketplace GOV, and revenue. The company is clearly enjoying a growth surge, with Total Orders up 20% year-over-year alongside a 25% boost in sales. Adjusted EBITDA also saw a strong 52% move higher to $655 million, further solidifying the results. Below is a chart illustrating DASH's sales on a quarterly basis. But interestingly, the company also revealed some read-through into the consumer, stating – 'High levels of consumer engagement in the U.S. were evident across many metrics and widespread throughout our consumer cohorts. In the U.S., the size of our new consumer cohorts increased on a Y/Y basis in each of April, May, and June, with initial engagement levels that were consistent with the relevant year-ago period.' Further reinforced by the results, consumers continue to spend heavily on delivery, reflecting a positive takeaway about the broader economy overall. Bottom Line The 2025 Q2 earnings season is winding down, with the period largely positive and resilient. And throughout the period, several companies – Apple AAPL, Eaton ETN, and DoorDash DASH – posted quarterly records in one way or another.

XIFR INVESTOR ALERT: Kirby McInerney LLP Alerts XPLR Infrastructure, LP f/k/a NextEra Energy Partners, LP Investors of Important Lead Plaintiff Deadline in Class Action Lawsuit
The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP alerts investors of the imminent September 8, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action filed on behalf of investors who acquired XPLR Infrastructure, LP f/k/a NextEra Energy Partners, LP ('XPLR' or the 'Company') (NYSE:XIFR) securities during the period from September 27, 2023 and January 27, 2025 ('the Class Period'). The firm encourages investors to contact the firm as soon as possible to be appointed lead plaintiff. [ LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION ] On January 28, 2025, XPLR announced that it would suspend cash distributions to common unitholders entirely and essentially abandon its yieldco model. In a press release, XPLR revealed a strategic repositioning and stated that the Company was moving from a business model that focused almost entirely on raising new capital to acquire assets while distributing substantially all of its excess cash flows to unitholders to a model in which XPLR Infrastructure utilizes retained operating cash flows to fund attractive investments. In addition, XPLR announced that the Company's CEO and CFO had both resigned and been replaced. On this news, the price of XPLR's common units declined by $5.31, or approximately 33.6%, from $15.80 per unit on January 27, 2025 to close at $10.49 per unit on January 29, 2025. The lawsuit alleges that XPLR made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company's: (i) struggle to maintain its operations as a yieldco; (ii) financing arrangements which were made while downplaying the attendant risks; (iii) inability to resolve those financings before their maturity date without risking unitholder dilution, and (iv) plan to halt cash distributions to investors and redirect funds to resolve those financings. If you purchased or otherwise acquired XPLR securities, have information, or would like to learn more about this investigation, please contact Thomas W. Elrod of Kirby McInerney LLP by email at investigations@ or fill out the contact form below, to discuss your rights or interests with respect to these matters without any cost to you. [ CONTACT FORM ] Kirby McInerney LLP is a New York-based plaintiffs' law firm concentrating in securities, antitrust, whistleblower, and consumer litigation. The firm's efforts on behalf of shareholders in securities litigation have resulted in recoveries totaling billions of dollars. Additional information about the firm can be found at Kirby McInerney LLP's website. This press release may be considered Attorney Advertising in some jurisdictions under the applicable law and ethical rules.
