From Zacks Investment Research: 2025-04-09 09:24:00

U.S. stock markets have experienced extreme volatility recently, with the Dow falling over 4,500 points in the last four days and the Nasdaq Composite entering bear market territory with a 13% drop. The S&P 500 also fell over 12% and is approaching a bear market. Despite this, some large-cap stocks like Sprouts Farmers Market Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Sportradar Group AG, GameStop Corp., and Insulet Corp. have shown positive returns. Tariff-led volatility is expected to continue due to global trade tensions and economists fear a near-term recession in the U.S. economy.

Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. has seen strong growth potential and provided a positive outlook for 2025. UnitedHealth Group Inc. remains poised for revenue growth and has a sturdy balance sheet. Sportradar Group AG provides sports data services and solutions for the sports betting industry. GameStop Corp. is focusing on diversification and technology-driven growth. Insulet Corp. is solidifying its market leadership through product innovations and international expansion.
