Closing Bell: eToro Surges, Super Micro Extends Gain, American Eagle Falls

Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Alix Steel, Scarlet Fu, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

• EToro (ETOR) shares rose 29% in its first session as a public company, after the trading and investment platform and some of its backers raised nearly $620 million in an upsized IPO.Shares of the Israel-based firm closed at $67 on Wednesday, above the initial public offering price of $52 apiece. The trading gives EToro a market value of more than $5.5 billion, based on the outstanding shares listed in an earlier filing. EToro’s listing cements a rebound in US IPOs, as companies that put first-time share sale plans on hold amid tariff-related stock volatility resume their preparations. The company was among those delaying IPO plans after President Donald Trump’s April 2 tariff announcements.
• Super Micro (SMCI) shares rose as much as 20% in Wednesday's trade, extending Tuesday’s 16% rally, after Saudi Arabia-based data center company DataVolt signed a multi-year partnership agreement with the beleaguered US server company. The stock has rallied about 43% this week, on track for the best week since November.
• American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) pulled its guidance for the full year following a first quarter that was marred by discounting and a write-down of inventory, sending the stock down in New York trading. In a preliminary earnings release, the apparel chain said comparable sales are expected to be down about 3% in the three-month period ended May 3. Revenue is projected to be about $1.1 billion, a decline of roughly 5% from a year earlier. The stock has declined 24% this year through Tuesday’s close and closed lower in Wednesday trading.
