    Homebuilder Stocks Tumble, Wendy's Soars, Micron Surges

    Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market, a look at the notable movers:On this episode of Stock Movers:- The iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF jumped about 6.3% Wednesday, its sharpest one-day advance since July 2025, as investors rushed into builders expected to benefit from policies aimed at accelerating housing supply and reducing competition from large institutional buyers. The newly approved 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act focuses on one of the root causes of America’s housing affordability crisis: insufficient supply, and is designed to make it easier, faster and cheaper to build homes.- The meme-stock crowd is rallying behind another beaten up American icon — Wendy’s (WEN) the fast-food chain known for the Frosty, Dave’s Triple burger and the Biggie Deal. The company’s shares, which had been on a steady downward slide for the past three years, surged as much as 42% on Wednesday, triggering a volatility halt, before paring the gain. It was the biggest jump since March 2020, when it joined other stocks in rebounding from the crash caused by the onset of the pandemic.- Micron Technology (MU) delivered a sales forecast that topped Wall Street estimates after AI-fueled shortages of components sent prices soaring. Revenue will be approximately $50 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, with profit about $31 a share, compared with a projection of $25.31. Micron and its peers have become major beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom, with a spending spree by data center operators stoking the appetite for memory and high-bandwidth memory.

The company announced Wednesday that it planned to offer $100 million of stock alongside a $300 million offering of convertible payment-in-kind notes. The shares will be borrowed by JPMorgan Securities, which is one of the stock offering underwriters and also one of the banks arranging the notes. The flurry of announcements sent Hertz shares plunging as much as 33%- Absci (ABSI) shares jump as much as 46%, the most intraday since 2022, after positive Phase 1 data from the firm’s HEADLINE trial of its experimental drug to treat androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss. The company also reported a $100 million offering which included contributions from Eli Lilly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
