Today is the 80th anniversary of D-Day: More than 60 World War II veterans flew to Paris over the weekend to take part in what organizers believe could be the final major WWII commemoration involving living veterans. American veterans will be joined by President Joe Biden and other heads of state in Normandy.

The digital health market has had a tough year, with no IPOs in all of 2023. Comparatively, the industry saw roughly 20 public exits in 2021. The recent slowdown in the broader IPO market is linked to several trends, including high interest rates and some high-profile bankruptcies, according to Adriana Krasniansky, head of research at digital health strategy group and venture fund Rock Health’s advisory arm.

Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:

• The S&P 500 index rose 62.69 points (1.2%) to 5,354.03; the Dow Jones Industrial Average^® ($DJI) gained 96.04 points (0.3%) to 38,807.33; the NASDAQ Composite rallied 330.86 points (2.0%) to 17,187.90.
• The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) fell more than 5 basis points to 4.283%, its lowest level since April 1.
• The CBOE Volatility Index^® (VIX) declined 0.53 to 12.63.

What’s up

• Nvidia only rose 5.16% today, but it was enough to surpass Apple’s market cap, making the high-flying semiconductor stock the second most valuable public company in the US.
• Crowdstrike rose 11.98% today after reporting better than expected fiscal first quarter earnings yesterday afternoon.
• Guidewire Software rose 17.63% today after its beat & raise quarterly report late yesterday.
• Stitch Fix rose 29.40% after a red-hot earnings report, completely turning around the stock’s slow slide downward this year.
• SweetGreen popped 12.76% this afternoon after revealing that its new automated kitchens can actually save on costs and cut time for orders in the long run.

What’s down

• Campbell Soup sagged 0.20% after the company announced earnings. The highlight: While prices are higher on shelves everywhere, the price of Campbell’s products didn’t rise for the first time in three years.
• Dollar Tree dropped 4.92% after the company revealed it is likely going to have to spin off Family Dollar, which it bought for $8.5 billion in 2015.
• Brown-Forman, maker of Jack Daniels whiskey, slumped 5.34% as alcohol sales continue to decline.

In case you needed more proof that we’re living in the strangest timeline: Morgan Stanley, which owns E*Trade, is contemplating kicking stock influencer Roaring Kitty off the platform. It’s concerned he manipulated GameStop stocks by…posting a meme on X. (the Wall Street Journal)
