The week ended with the American indices gaining modestly: the S&P 0.19%, the Nasdaq 0.31% and the Dow 0.22%. For the week, the S&P rose 0.3%, the Nasdaq 0.9% and the Dow 0.5%. Major movers included\u00a0Ulta Beauty<\/a> surging 12.65% and Moderna<\/a> 8.67%, but the biggest news came from Netflix announcing it will buy Warner Bros. Discovery in an historic deal that will further enlarge the streaming juggernaut.

The street boosted Warner<\/a> shares by 6.28%, but sold Netflix<\/a> by 2.89% and sank the losing suitor, Paramount Skydance<\/a>, by 9.82%.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
