U.S. equities climbed on February 25, 2026, with the S&P 500 up around 0.6–0.8%, the Dow up about 0.5–0.8%, and the Nasdaq leading with roughly a 1.0–1.4% gain as investors rotated back into AI and broader tech ahead of Nvidia’s earnings report.(apnews.com)
AI and semiconductor names were the key drivers: Nvidia gained around 2–2.3% as traders positioned for a major earnings release widely seen as a bellwether for AI spending, while other AI‑linked chip and infrastructure stocks also advanced.(apnews.com)
Broader sentiment improved after an earlier “AI disruption scare,” with software and select cyclicals rebounding; banks, including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, participated in the rally, and home‑improvement names like Home Depot saw support following solid earnings.(investors.com)
Not all sectors participated: solar and some energy names lagged, with First Solar tumbling on weaker‑than‑expected profits and guidance, and tariff headlines plus ongoing uncertainty around AI’s longer‑term impact on traditional industries kept a note of caution in the market.(apnews.com)
In the background, macro factors included slightly softer or stable long‑term Treasury yields near ~4%, mixed moves in oil, and continued focus on U.S. trade and tariff policy, all against a backdrop of solid U.S. GDP growth and lingering inflation worries.(apnews.com)
