fell 3.4% in the afternoon session after bellwether United Parcel Service (UPS) reported weak earnings and withheld its full-year guidance, citing “macro-economic uncertainty” and low consumer sentiment.
Shares of health coverage company Centene (NYSE:CNC)
fell 3.3% in the morning session after JPMorgan cut its price target on the managed care company to $30 from $48. This move by JPMorgan followed Centene's recent second-quarter earnings report, where the company posted a loss of $0.16 per share, missing analyst estimates. The poor results were largely attributed to a significant reduction in the company's net 2025 Marketplace risk adjustment revenue transfer estimate, an issue that first came to light when Centene withdrew its full-year guidance on July 1st. The company's performance prompted a series of downgrades from Wall Street, with firms like UBS, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley also cutting their price targets, signaling widespread concern over the company's ability to restore its earnings trajectory.
Shares of accounting automation software maker Blackline (NASDAQ:BL)

Analysts highlighted the company's partnership with SAP, favorable pricing, strong enterprise deal momentum, and new opportunities in the public sector as key growth drivers. Adding to the positive news, BlackLine also announced the appointment of seasoned enterprise software executive Greg Hughes to its Board of Directors, a move that strengthened the board's strategic expertise.
Shares of fintech mortgage provider Rocket Companies (NYSE:RKT) jumped 3.6% in the morning session after the company reported a notable increase in starter home sales for the month of June, signaling strength among first-time homebuyers.

This report marked a bright spot in an otherwise sluggish housing market, where sales in other price tiers actually declined. The data indicated ten consecutive months of growth in starter home sales, driven by an influx of first-time homebuyers. This performance suggested a pocket of strength for Rocket Companies, showing resilience in a key demographic despite broader market weakness.
