    Apple Jumps, Eli Lilly Crashes On Worst Day In 25 Years: What's Moving Markets Thursday?

    Listen to the news

    U.S. equities slipped midday Thursday as corporate earnings and fresh tariff announcements from President Donald Trump drove divergent moves in heavyweight names.

    The S&P 500 dropped 0.3% to 6,328, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 0.8% to 43,865, while the Nasdaq 100 held nearly unchanged at 23,307.

    Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) climbed by 3%, on top of the 5.1% gained Wednesday, as investors bet the tech giant could sidestep new import duties. The company pledged an additional $100 billion in U.S. manufacturing investments, building on a previously announced $500 billion.

    The steepest intraday loss among mega-cap stocks came from Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY), which plunged 14%—its worst single-day performance since August 2000.

    While second-quarter earnings beat expectations and the company raised guidance, investor focus shifted to new trial data for orforglipron, its experimental oral GLP-1 weight-loss pill. The drug yielded 12.4% average weight loss, below the 13-15% range analysts were hoping for.

    The drop erased more than $100 billion in market capitalization.

    The chipmaking sector also notable sharp moves after Trump announced a 100% tariff on imported semiconductors Wednesday. Exemptions are reportedly on the table for firms with U.S.-based production or clear investment plans.

    Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) soared 5% and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:TSM) surged 4% after Taiwanese officials confirmed it would remain exempt from the tariff order.

    Meanwhile, Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC) dropped 3.1% after President Trump called for CEO Lip Bu-Tan’s resignation
