What Happened?
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after major indices pulled back from record highs reached the previous week.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were under pressure as the dominant artificial intelligence trade cooled off. Notable names like Nvidia were down as traders locked in profits following a banner year where the Nasdaq surged over 20%. With the S&P 500 recently hitting intraday highs near 6,945, this dip reflected a shift in internal momentum rather than a response to major economic news.
The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Zooming In On EVgo (EVGO)
EVgo’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 46 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 26 days ago when the stock gained 2.7% on the news that the company announced that its Autocharge+ service surpassed a major milestone of five million charging sessions. The electric vehicle charging network also reported a sixfold increase in enrollment for the service since 2023, with more than 300,000 customers now signed up. The Autocharge+ feature, which is compatible with nearly 80 different EV models, allows drivers to start a charging session simply by plugging in their vehicle after a one-time enrollment. This significant growth in user adoption and service usage pointed to strong operational progress for the company.
EVgo is down 28.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $3.01 per share, it is trading 40% below its 52-week high of $5.01 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of EVgo’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $279.28.
