Needham Maintains Buy on Riot Platforms, Raises Price Target to $16

On Tuesday, January 21st, U.S. markets closed mixed, with the S&amp;P 500 and Dow reaching month-highs as investors welcomed a restrained approach to tariffs in President Trump&#8217;s initial actions. While concerns about trade policy persist, markets were buoyed by hopes for a more strategic, negotiable approach to tariffs.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed higher on Tuesday, with notable gains in industrials, real estate, and health care, reflecting broad market strength. However, energy stocks diverged from the overall positive trend, ending the session lower amid sector-specific pressures.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.24% and closed at 44,025.81, the S&amp;P 500 closed higher by 0.88% at 6,049.24, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.64% to finish at 19,756.78.
