And, you know, on top of that, there's just still the same buzz around the AI trade, around what's happening with semiconductors. And there's, we haven't really seen a lot of bad news. The inflation news has been better than expected, although I would argue still not good. So inflation is still higher than the Fed's target, even though it has come in a little bit lower than expected. But I think, you know, kind of all those things are conspiring to make it a good but not blowout day today."</p><p>Among the session's other stock moves, PayPal surged more than 17% after sources told Reuters that Stripe and private equity firm Advent International have jointly offered to acquire it.</p><p>And shares of United Airlines dipped in extended trading despite the carrier saying it expected full-year profit at the high end of its prior forecast, as the company's third-quarter outlook was short of Wall Street expectations.</p></body>
