U.S. markets ended in the red on Wednesday as the debt ceiling stand-off continued without any resolution.
Fitch Ratings has placed the United States ‘AAA’ long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating on Rating Watch Negative. The agency said it reflects increased political partisanship that is hindering reaching a resolution to raise or suspend the debt limit despite the fast-approaching X-date. Meanwhile, the following are the five stocks that are drawing investor attention:
1. NVIDIA Corporation NVDA: Shares of NVIDIA rose over 24% in extended trading after the company reported first-quarter results that came in well ahead of Street expectations. First-quarter revenue came in at $7.19 billion, exceeding a Street estimate of $6.52 billion. For the second quarter, Nvidia expects revenue of $11 billion, plus or minus 2%, compared to a consensus of $7.15 billion.
