Stock Movers: Nvidia, Meta, Hershey
On this episode of Stock Movers: Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Caroline Hyde, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. - Nvidia (NVDA) shares rose after it became the first company in history to achieve a $4 trillion market valuation, cementing its status as a kingpin in the global financial market. The stock has risen more than 20% in 2025, and is up more than 1,000% since the beginning of 2023. Nvidia now accounts for 7.5% of the S&P 500 Index, near its highest influence on record. The latest catalyst for the stock has been a commitment to AI spending from Nvidia's biggest customers, showing that demand for its computing systems remains strong. This includes tech giants Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Alphabet, who are projected to put about $350 billion into capital expenditures in their upcoming fiscal years, up from $310 billion in the current year, according to the average of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Those companies account for more than 40% of Nvidia's revenue. - Meta Platforms (META) bought a minority stake in the world's largest eyewear manufacturer, EssilorLuxottica SA, deepening the US tech giant's commitment to the fast-growing smart glasses industry, according to people familiar with the matter. Facebook parent Meta acquired just under 3% of the Ray-Ban maker, a stake worth around €3 billion ($3.5 billion) at market prices, said the people, who asked not to be identified because deliberations are private. Meta, based in Menlo Park, California, is considering further investment that could build the stake to around 5% over time, the people added, though those plans could change. Shares closed higher. - Hershey (HSY) shares tumbled as chocolate makers struggle due to a shortage in cocoa. Chocolate makers were already grappling with record prices for cocoa butter, which provides that melt-in-your-mouth feel. Now they are also paying up for the powder that lends their product its color and taste. Cocoa powder, used in everything from baking mixes to protein shakes, is now in short supply too. Prices for the key ingredient, produced when cocoa beans are ground, surged about 16% in the US over the past year, and are now trading near a record.

Shares of Fruit Loops cereal maker soar 50% after reports of Ferrero acquisition
Shares of WK Kellogg, the cereal maker behind Froot Loops and Frosted Flakes, skyrocketed as high as 50% after the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Ferrero was nearing acquiring the company for $3 billion. The Wall Street Journal reported the deal, in which the Nutella and Ferrero Rocher maker would acquire WK Kellogg for $3 billion, could be finalized as early as this week. Ferrero, which began as a family business in Italy in the 1940s, has been foraying across the pond into North America. In 2022, it acquired Wells Enterprises, the US-based ice cream company that owned Blue Bunny and and Blue Ribbon popsicles, and had also bought Nestle's US chocolate business. The addition of WK Kellogg, which has a market cap of roughly $1.5 billion and a portfolio of household cereal names from Raisin Bran to Corn Flakes to Apple Jacks, could be its most substantial acquisition yet. In its latest financial year, Ferrero reported a revenue of 18.4 billion euros. WK Kellogg and Ferrero Rocher did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In 2022, Kellogg announced it was spinning off its cereal business, a major shakeup for the more-than-century-old company. Its snack unit was renamed Kellanova. The company said at the time that spinning off the companies will 'better position each business to unlock its full potential,' especially as the company has grown with acquisitions in recent years Last year, Mars bought Kellanova in a deal worth $35.9 billion. The sale of WK Kellogg to Ferrero would be another upheaval in a volatile time for the snack industry, as consumer change preferences and pull back spending amid higher prices. WK Kellogg's CEO Gary Pilnick came under fire last year for encouraging customers to eat cereal for dinner as shoppers grappled with skyrocketing food prices. CNN's Jordan Valinsky contributed to this report.
