Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market, a look at the notable movers:
On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) agreed to buy Crinetics Pharmaceuticals (CRNX) for $10 billion in cash to expand into endocrinology, including medicines for acromegaly and hormone disorders. The purchase price of $85 per share is a 102% premium over where Crinetics shares closed on Monday. The deal, which has been approved by both boards, is expected to close in the third quarter.

- Honeywell International spinoff Solstice Advanced Materials (SOLS) will acquire Element Solutions in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $14.5 billion, creating a market leader in the specialty chemicals sector. Element shareholders will receive $10 in cash and half a share of Solstice stock for each Element share, according to a statement Monday. That represents an implied value of about $50.10 per Element share, for a premium of roughly 15% over its July 2 closing price.

- TeraWulf (WULF) shares rose as much as 19%, the most since February, after it signed a 20-year lease with Anthropic for its Justified Data campus in Kentucky and agreed to sell its majority stake in the Abernathy joint venture to a Fluidstack-led investor group.

- A powerful rebound in semiconductor stocks lifted Wall Street on Monday, driving the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 sharply higher, as investors dumped defensive corners of the market in a broad risk-on rotation. The session’s driving force was memory. A DRAM-sector surge rippled across chipmakers ahead of Samsung‘s quarterly sales updates and SK Hynix‘s planned U.S. listing this Friday, with the market betting the artificial-intelligence trade that has powered the bull run still has room to run.

-Shares of O’Reilly Automotive (ORLY) extend Thursday’s decline, dropping 7.0% to the lowest level since January 2025 after last week’s report that the firm has expressed interest in acquiring Genuine Parts Co.’s auto-parts segment. Just before the holiday weekend, Bloomberg reported that O'Reilly may be willing to spend $10 billion or more in a cash bid for the auto parts arm of Genuine Parts. The news comes after Genuine Parts announced in February that it would split the company, breaking up the automotive and industrial sides of the business in the first quarter of 2027. O'Reilly did not return requests for comment. Broadcom (AVGO) gained 3.8%

- JB Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) shares are down 2% premarket after Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker cut the recommendation on the intermodal freight carrier to underweight from equal-weight. The stock’s valuation is “unjustifiable” after a rally, and intermodal carriers will benefit from an upturn in the freight transportation sector “with later and smaller gains than the market expects,” the analyst wrote in a note.
