U.S. stocks rallied on Monday, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones hitting new record highs. Offerpad Solutions surged 85.42% to $6.23, Affirm Holdings jumped 3.09% to $79.99, and Marvell Technology rose 3.26% to $77.23. Ulta Beauty declined 0.60% to $530.63, while Dell gained attention as it reported Q1 earnings.

Marvell Technology's stock fell despite reporting a record revenue of $2 billion driven by AI demand for its custom chips. The company did not deliver an upside on its top line, leading to a 3.26% rise in its stock price [1]. Affirm Holdings, on the other hand, saw its stock jump 3.09% to $79.99 after reporting strong earnings with gross merchandise volume at its top five merchants and platform partners increasing 41% [2]. Offerpad Solutions surged 85.42% to $6.23, indicating strong investor interest in the company's performance [3].

Ulta Beauty's stock declined 0.60% to $530.63 despite lifting its fiscal-year guidance after beating Wall Street expectations for its latest quarter. The cosmetics and fragrances retailer expects earnings per share of up to $24.30, but the market reaction suggests that investors are cautious about the company's future growth prospects [4].

Dell's stock gained attention as it reported Q1 earnings, beating estimates but offering a disappointing outlook for the current quarter. The PC and server maker's stock price remained relatively stable, indicating that investors are closely watching the company's strategic initiatives and market position [5].

The mixed earnings reports highlight the diverse performance of U.S. companies. While some stocks surged, others declined, reflecting the varying impacts of recent economic conditions and market dynamics. Investors will continue to closely monitor these companies' earnings reports and guidance for insights into their future performance.
