The Market’s Hidden Divide & Target and Best Buy Lead the S&P
The Market’s Hidden Divide & Target and Best Buy Lead the S&P  
Podcast: Brew Markets
Published On: Tue Mar 03 2026
Description: Episode 135: Today, Ann examines market dispersion, looking beyond the relative stability of major indexes and ETFs and diving into volatility hidden beneath the surface - the phenomenon that makes some investors nervous and others excited for stock picking.  Then, we break down Target and Best Buy earnings and how their “not-as-bad-as-expected” results were enough to send shares higher, making them the two best-performing stocks in the S&P 500. Finally, we continue tracking market reactions on the second day of trading following the strikes on Iran and discuss how uncertainty contributed to broad market declines.  www.brewmarkets.com  Subscribe to the Brew Markets newsletter: https://www.morningbrew.com/brew-mark...
