The 8 most valuable U.S. stocks all fell Wednesday. The next 7 all rose
The farther down the S&P 500 one looked Wednesday, the more green on the screen.
All eight of the largest companies in the S&P 500 — consisting of the Mag Seven plus Broadcom
, which are also the only eight that have a market value above
$1 trillion — fell on Wednesday. The declines ranged from just 0.14% for Nvidia
, the most valuable stock in the U.S., worth some
$4.3 trillion, up to 1.97% for Apple, the third most highly-valued stock, after Microsoft
(-0.79%).
Meanwhile, the next seven stocks with the highest market caps, all rose in price Wednesday. They were led by Walmart
, with a market cap of
$819 billion, ahead 1.26%. Oracle
gained 0.19%, bringing the company’s market cap to
$660 billion. The smallest stock in that second cohort of advancers was Mastercard, worth
$536 billion, which rose 1.22%.
