Energy stocks led the market gains, while Utilities underperformed relative to Financial Services. Chipotle Mexican Grill shares saw a 4.4% surge following takeover rumors, while Starbucks shares declined more than 3% on the news. Nike shares dropped more than 2% due to a cautious outlook for fiscal 2027, and Best Buy climbed 5% despite concerns about broader consumer demand.",
