- Hess (HES) and Chevron (CVX) are both higher as Hess Corp. won its arbitration battle with Exxon Mobil Corp., clearing the way for it to be bought by Chevron Corp. The decision is a major victory for Chevron, according to the text, ending a period of strategic limbo that hurt its stock. Exxon Mobil Corp. said it "disagree[s] with the ICC panel's interpretation but respect[s] the arbitration and dispute resolution process", according to a company statement.
- Norfolk Southern (NSC) shares are higher as Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) is exploring an acquisition of Norfolk Southern Corp., according to people familiar with the matter. A deal would merge the No. 1 and No. 5 North American railroads by revenue, companies with a combined market value of almost $200 billion. Union Pacific Chief Executive Officer Jim Vena and Norfolk Southern's chief financial officer Jason Zampi have expressed support for a merger, with Vena saying he thinks it would be beneficial for the country and Zampi noting there would be a lot of benefit.
- Netflix (NFLX) is lower despite its earnings beat. The streaming-video company reported second-quarter results that beat expectations and raised its full-year forecast. The stock has been a strong performer this year, up nearly 50% off an April low. JPMorgan wrote, While Netflix is executing well and boosted its forecast as expected, “the shares need a breather.”
- 3M (MMM) is higher after it raised its profit forecast to $7.75 to $8 a share this year, including the expected impact of tariffs. The company's adjusted second-quarter earnings were $2.16 a share, better than analysts' average estimate of $2.01. Under Chief Executive Officer William Brown, 3M has put measures in place to mitigate tariffs, including shifting production and pricing changes.
