U.S. stock futures took a hit today after the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) issued a warning about slowing global economic growth. The sobering forecast amplified investor anxiety over the ongoing trade tensions sparked by the Trump administration’s tariff policies, pushing futures into negative territory.

Despite the broader market caution, several stocks made notable moves:

Dollar General Surges on Strong Earnings and Outlook

Shares of Dollar General soared more than 10% after the discount retailer delivered better-than-expected quarterly results and raised its full-year sales outlook. The company posted first-quarter earnings of $1.78 per share on revenue of $10.44 billion, beating analyst estimates of $1.48 per share and $10.31 billion, according to LSEG. Dollar General’s revised guidance assumes current tariffs will remain in place through mid-August, signaling cautious optimism in its forward-looking strategy.

Constellation Energy Jumps on Long-Term Meta Deal

Constellation Energy shares rallied 9% after announcing a landmark 20-year agreement with Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. Starting in June 2027, Meta will purchase approximately 1.1 gigawatts of nuclear energy from Constellation’s Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois. The deal marks a significant step in Meta’s clean energy transition and bolstered confidence across the sector. Energy peers Vistra Energy and NRG Energy also benefited, rising 5% and 2%, respectively.

Paramount Slips Amid Board Shakeup and Legal Distraction

Paramount shares dipped more than 1% following news that the company nominated three new board members and scheduled its annual shareholder meeting for July 2. The update, disclosed in its annual proxy statement, comes amid legal distractions including ongoing settlement discussions in a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump over alleged election interference by CBS News, a Paramount subsidiary.
