Yahoo Finance ·
On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, major United States stock indexes finished higher, propelled by robust financial results from SpaceX, Capital One Financial, and other prominent corporations. An earnings report from SpaceX that significantly exceeded Wall Street projections provided a major boost to artificial intelligence related equities and Elon Musk's publicly traded firm Tesla. These gains effectively offset declines experienced by Netflix and other equities weighed down by future expansion concerns. The S&P 500 advanced 44.60 points, or 0.58 percent, to close at 7,757.17, moving nearer to its record peak achieved earlier in the month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 360.21 points, or 0.69 percent, to settle at 52,856.09.
