U.S. stocks rise as SpaceX and Super Micro results lift AI-linked shares
The Nasdaq led Wall Street gains on October 21, 2026, rising about 1%, after SpaceX posted its first profit as a public company and Super Micro Computer forecast quarterly results above estimates. Netflix fell after a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter profit forecast, and AT&T dropped despite beating estimates. Oil prices remained elevated near $110 a barrel for Brent crude.
