In contrast, Pentair (PNR) shares jumped 9.0%, leading the advancers in the S&P 500, after the company exceeded analysts’ estimates with its second-quarter results. MSCI (MSCI) also saw a 7.9% increase in its shares after reporting better-than-expected sales and profits.

Additionally, Sherwin-Williams (SHW) shares rose 6.9% following a strong earnings report, boosting the company’s full-year profit guidance.

In other news, NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) shares tumbled after the company issued a weaker-than-expected current quarter outlook, citing a slowdown in spending by automotive customers and rising geopolitical risks.

Overall, the market is showing some volatility with major indexes pointing to a lower open, but certain companies are still managing to outperform and make significant gains.
