What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed more than 300 points and briefly touched a fresh all-time high above 50,700 as market sentiment improved amid falling yields. 

Business services revenue moves with corporate confidence: when CFOs feel good, they greenlight the consulting, staffing, and outsourcing contracts they had been sitting on. Cooling Treasury yields also reduce financing costs for the mid-sized clients these firms serve, which usually translates into faster contract awards. 

Furthermore, the Iran peace deal progress removed a major geopolitical overhang, encouraging corporations to release the project backlogs they had paused during the conflict. Business services companies recognize revenue over multi-quarter project timelines, so today's macro relief shows up in tomorrow's earnings.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Zooming In On ScanSource (SCSC)

ScanSource’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 7 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 15 days ago when the stock gained 6.6% on the news that the company reported strong first-quarter 2026 results that beat Wall Street's revenue expectations. 

The company posted revenue of $766.8 million, an 8.8% increase from the previous year, surpassing analyst forecasts. Adjusted earnings came in at $0.94 per share, which also beat consensus estimates. In addition, ScanSource reaffirmed its full-year revenue guidance of around $3.05 billion.

ScanSource is up 12.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $44.01 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $45.90 from May 2026. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of ScanSource’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,433.
