Mark: Welcome to today's stock market update, based on the latest available data from June 26, 2025. I'm Mark.

Susan: And I'm Susan. We've got a lot to cover today, starting with the major indices. Mark, how did the markets perform yesterday?

Mark: Well, Susan, it was a positive day across the board. The S&P 500 gained 48.86 points, closing at 6,141.02. The Dow Jones also saw a strong rise, gaining 404.41 points to close at 43,386.84. And the Nasdaq didn't fall behind, adding 194.36 points, ending the day at 20,167.91.

Susan: That's quite impressive, Mark. It seems like investor sentiment was quite bullish. Now, let's dive into some individual stocks. Any notable movers we should discuss?

Mark: Absolutely, Susan. Among the stocks on our radar, Netflix (NFLX) had a remarkable day. It opened at $1,280.00 and closed at $1,306.67, marking a solid gain of $26.67. That kind of performance is definitely eye-catching.

Susan: Indeed, Netflix's movement indicates strong investor confidence, possibly driven by some recent positive developments or announcements. And what about the other stocks? Did any others stand out to you?

Mark: Tesla (TSLA) also had a decent day, opening at $324.61 and closing at $325.78, gaining $1.17. Meanwhile, Amazon (AMZN) surged with a $4.00 increase, closing at $217.12. Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) also saw gains, closing at $497.45 and $726.09, respectively.

Susan: It's great to see such positive momentum in the tech sector. But Mark, let's focus on one stock for some detailed analysis. How about NVIDIA (NVDA)? How did it fare?

Mark: NVIDIA had a bit of a down day, Susan. It opened at $155.98 and closed slightly lower at $155.02, registering a decline of $0.96. Despite this dip, NVIDIA remains a key player in the tech industry, particularly in the fields of AI and graphics processing. It's a stock with a lot of investor interest, given its leadership in cutting-edge technology.

Susan: That's true, Mark. Even though it slipped yesterday, NVIDIA's long-term outlook is generally positive, considering its strategic position in emerging tech markets. Now, before we wrap up, how about a light-hearted market anecdote?

Mark: Sure thing, Susan. Did you know that there's a funny old saying on Wall Street? "If you want to make a small fortune in the stock market, start with a large one."

Susan: That's a classic, Mark. It reminds us all to invest wisely and stay informed. Thanks for tuning in, everyone. We'll be back with more updates soon!

Mark: Have a great day, and happy investing!
