Today’s winners and losers — TSM, Nvidia, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, UnitedHealth, Target, Southwest Airlines
BigBear.ai is up 13% after Kevin McAleenan was named chief executive. He previously served as commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and as acting secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration.
UnitedHealth Group Inc. stock is sliding down 3.2% in premarket trading, after Q4 revenue missed expectations for the first time in more than four years.
Bond markets stabilized after concerns that Wednesday’s CPI report for December would indicate rising inflationary pressures and push benchmark interest rates to the 5% level proved to be unfounded. A softer-than-expected CPI reading helped force the 10-year and 30-year Treasury down.

IPO
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is a company's first time offering its stock for sale to the public.
It's a lengthy process in which investment banks usually help the company going public determine an appropriate price to sell its shares on the stock market, culminating in Listing Day, when the shares become tradable.
