Stocks rose yesterday as investors mulled earnings reports that beat expectations from companies like Palantir and Spotify. But not every company had good news to share: Snap plunged after hours when it reported less revenue than expected and said the Middle East conflict was a headwind to growth. Meanwhile, New York Community Bancorp fell to its lowest since 1997, and Moody’s downgraded it to junk.
