[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.31%) is in second place on Wednesday afternoon, up about 20 points.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents Albemarle (ALB 87.50, +5.97, +7.32%), Carmax (KMX 62.09, +2.42, +4.06%), and Wynn Resorts (WYNN 123.44, +4.36, +3.66%) pepper the top of the standings despite a dearth of corporate news.
Meanwhile, Paramount Skydance (PSKY 14.94, -0.90, -5.68%) is today's worst laggard after Morgan Stanley cut its target to $10 and kept an Underweight, signaling limited upside post-merger as its OIBDA outlook and UFC rights deal failed to offset profitability concerns.
