U.S. stocks finished mixed on Friday, April 24, 2026, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posting gains while the Dow industrials slipped.

According to AP, the S&P 500 rose 0.8% to 7,165.08, setting a new all-time high. The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.6% to 24,836.60, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2% to 49,230.71.

Intel was the day’s standout. Shares of the chipmaker surged 23.6% after the company reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter results and issued upbeat second-quarter revenue guidance.

Intel said revenue in the first quarter was $13.6 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.29. The company guided second-quarter revenue to a range of $13.8 billion to $14.8 billion.

The market’s move reflected a familiar split: megacap technology and semiconductor strength lifting the broader indexes, while the Dow lagged slightly.
