2026-01-27 18:09 By Andre Joaquim 1 min. read

Heavyweight tech stocks carried US equity indices on an otherwise negative session on Tuesday on mostly a positive earnings prospective in the sector.

The S&P 500 rose 0.5% to set a fresh record and the Nasdaq 100 jumped 1%.

Microsoft and Apple gained over 2% ahead of their earnings this week, while Micron and Broadcom advanced between 6% and 4% to extend the positive momentum for chip producers.

In turn, General Motors jumped more than 5% after raising its 2026 guidance, while UPS added 2% following an earnings and revenue beat.

In contrast, the Dow Jones fell about 500 points, dragged lower by a 20% plunge in UnitedHealth shares after the company warned of its first annual revenue decline in three decades.

The healthcare sector was already under pressure, with CVS Health sliding 9.7% and Humana dropping 18.8% after the US proposed holding payments to private Medicare plans flat next year.

Boeing also weighed on the index, falling 1.2% after its results failed to impress investors.
