Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.6%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.6%), and DJIA (+0.5%) continue to chart session highs as strength broadens.

After trading lower this morning, the consumer discretionary sector (+0.7%) now holds a solid gain. Despite some lingering weakness across mega-cap stocks today, Amazon (AMZN 200.59, +0.99, +0.50%) and Tesla (TSLA 420.64, +3.57, +0.86%) trade modestly higher. Amazon is still seeking its first higher finish since its earnings release last week. 

Elsewhere in the sector, Airbnb (ABNB 120.49, +4.53, +3.91%) is higher following its 4Q25 earnings release, as an upbeat outlook and clear signs of accelerating marketplace momentum more than offset an EPS miss. While the reported EPS of $0.56 came in below expectations, results were impacted by a roughly $90 million one-time non-income tax charge, making adjusted EBITDA the cleaner profitability lens. On that basis, ABNB delivered solid operating performance and paired it with guidance that points to faster top-line growth into 2026, reinforcing investor confidence in the company's multi-year reacceleration strategy.

Meanwhile, Expedia Group (EXPE 211.31, -15.93, -7.01%) is sharply lower despite a beat-and-raise earnings report of its own.
