Welcome to Markets Desk, here's what's moving right now.

SpaceX shares are struggling to find altitude despite strong revenue growth, and analysts are asking whether the dip creates an entry point. The short answer is complicated — the stock still carries an extreme valuation, and with lock-up expirations approaching, selling pressure could mount before any meaningful re-rating takes hold.

Shifting to cybersecurity, Gen Digital delivered a solid first quarter, raising its full fiscal twenty twenty-seven outlook and issuing second quarter guidance alongside a declared dividend. The results signal that demand for consumer-facing cyber protection remains resilient, giving management enough confidence to lift the bar heading into the back half of the year.

And in insurance, Aflac posted higher second quarter earnings despite a modest slip in revenue, with the improvement driven largely by lower investment losses rather than top-line acceleration. The company declared its quarterly dividend, offering investors a steady income signal even as the revenue picture stays under some pressure.

That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
