U.S. Stock Market Sees Mixed Movements with Key Stocks Making Significant Moves

Amid a turbulent day on Wall Street, the U.S. stock market closed lower with the Dow Jones index experiencing a decline of over 250 points on Tuesday. Despite the broader market slump, certain stocks witnessed notable movements. Investors absorbed the news that Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. SHLS saw its shares ascend substantially during Monday's trading. This surge came on the heels of an announcement that the company had authorized a sizeable share repurchase program, earmarking up to $150 million for the buybacks, alongside a $25 million accelerated share deal.
