Key Points

Stocks traded mostly higher Monday as Wall Street kicked off November following the Nasdaq Composite’s seventh-consecutive month of gains.

These stocks were moving Monday:

Kenvue jumped 14% to $16.42 after Kimberly-Clark agreed to buy the Tylenol maker in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $48.7 billion, including debt. Kimberly-Clark will pay $21.01 a share, based on Kenvue’s closing price from Friday. Kimberly-Clark declined 14%.

Berkshire Hathaway reported a 33% jump in third-quarter operating profit to $13.5 billion, lifted by insurance underwriting profits that rose to $2.4 billion from $750 million a year earlier, as well as gains at the company’s railroad and manufacturing businesses. Warren Buffett’s conglomerate didn’t buy back any of its own stock in the period, continuing a trend that began in May 2024. Berkshire stock has declined more than 10% since Buffett announced in May that he would be stepping down as chief executive at the end of 2025 but remain chairman. Berkshire Hathaway’s class B shares fell slightly on Monday.

Shares of Amazon.com rose 4.5% after the company reached a $38 billion agreement to provide infrastructure for OpenAI’s artificial-intelligence workloads through its subsidiary, Amazon Web Services. The partnership will begin immediately and covers the next seven years.

Advanced Micro Devices rose 0.6%. The chip maker, which is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings after the closing bell Tuesday, finished October as the best-performing stock in the S&P 500, rising 26% during the month. It was AMD’s best month since 2001, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Propelling the stock in October was an announcement that it had secured an agreement to become a major supplier for ChatGPT maker OpenAI.

Iren jumped 11% after the data-center company signed a multi-year GPU cloud services contract with Microsoft. Iren will provide Microsoft with access to Nvidia GB300 GPUs over five years. The contract is valued at about $9.7 billion, including a 20% prepayment. Iren said it has a separate agreement with Dell Technologies to purchase the GPUs and equipment for roughly $5.8 billion. Shares of Dell and Microsoft fell 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively.

U.S.-listed shares of NIO gained 3% after the Chinese electric-vehicle maker delivered a record 40,397 cars in October, up 93% from a year earlier. XPeng’s American Depositary Receipts were up 1% after deliveries jumped 76%, while Li Auto ticked down 1% after deliveries tumbled 38% from October 2024. Chinese EV leader BYD delivered 222,559 all-electric cars in October, up 17%.

Tesla stock rose 2.3%. The EV maker doesn’t report monthly sales or sales by region, leaving investors to rely on industry sources. Through September, Tesla sold about 438,000 vehicles in China, down 5% from a year earlier, putting the U.S. EV giant on pace for its first-ever annual sales decline in China. Later this week, Tesla shareholders will vote on a new performance award for CEO Elon Musk, potentially granting him 425 million shares.

Cipher Mining surged 22% after the company, which develops data centers to perform Bitcoin mining, reported a narrower-than-expected third-quarter loss and said it would provide space and power for AI workloads to Amazon Web Services in a $5.5 billion, 15-year lease agreement.

Idexx Laboratories gained 15% after the veterinary medicine company reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings and boosted its full-year outlook.

UniQure tumbled 48% after the biotech company reported a likely regulatory setback for one of its gene therapies. The Food and Drug Administration no longer agrees that the data from Phase I/II studies of uniQure’s therapy AMT-130 is adequate to support a Biologics License Application, the company said it believes. AMT-130 is an investigational gene therapy for Huntington’s disease that the FDA granted a Breakthrough Therapy designation earlier this year.

ON Semiconductor rose by 1.3%. The chip maker reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue.

Earnings reports are expected after the closing bell on Monday from Palantir Technologies , Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Diamondback Energy, BioNTech, Fabrinet, and Clorox.

Palantir was up 3%. Wall Street expects Palantir, which sells AI software to manage and analyze large amounts of data, to report third-quarter earnings of 17 cents a share on revenue of about $1.09 billion. Shares have gained 173% this year.

Earnings reports are expected later in the week from Qualcomm, Arm Holdings, Shopify, AppLovin, Arista Networks, Uber Technologies, Novo Nordisk, Amgen, Pfizer, McDonald’s, Spotify, Ferrari, Robinhood Markets, DoorDash, Fortinet, ConocoPhillips, Airbnb, Parker Hannifin, Monster Beverage, Datadog, Warner Bros. Discovery, Block, Take-Two Interactive Software, and Constellation Energy.
