Stock Movers

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers, we take a look at some of the biggest gainers and decliners of the week:
- Moderna (MRNA) saw it shares soar to a record 177%, adding around $44 billion in value on Wednesday after it announced a personalized vaccine it developed with Merck (MRK) reduced the recurrence of melanoma in a large, late-stage trial. The breakthrough raises expectations for treating the deadliest form of skin cancer and shows the promise of the embattled mRNA technology.
- Crowdstrike (CRWD) shares fell after Axios reported the company chief technology officer is departing to start an AI-cyber fund. Current CTO Elia Zaitsev's new venture firm is reportedly targeting a $170 million fund.
- Estée Lauder (EL) shares soared after the beauty conglomerate ended a run of three straight declines in annual revenue, reinforcing that turnaround efforts are paying off. The shares closed 16% higher in New York on Wednesday, the biggest daily gain since 2011. The advance pared the stock’s year-do-date decline to 6%.

- Moderna (MRNA) and Merck (MRK) shares continued to gain on investor enthusiasm over their new personalized cancer vaccine. Earlier in the week, Moderna jumped to its biggest intraday gain on record.
- Boston Beer (SAM) shares dropped in trading on Friday, after the alcoholic beverage maker announced Chief Financial Officer Diego Reynoso will be leaving the company on Sept. 14 to accept a new opportunity. Citi views Reynoso’s exit as a “meaningful loss” to the Samuel Adams maker given his key role in the company’s margin recovery program.
- Ubiquiti (UI) shares fell the most since May after the wireless-network equipment provider posted fiscal fourth-quarter gross margin that shrank from the third quarter. The margin was hurt by higher costs of components and shipping.

Mining and royalty stocks are rising on Friday as bullion extended gains after the US Treasury’s unexpected ramp-up in buybacks of long-dated government debt and copper’s rise amid a supply squeeze.

Shares of Ross Stores (ROST) gained by the most in three months in the Friday trade. That’s after the off-price retailer boosted its earnings per share forecast for the full year.
