Citi downgrades Moderna after huge rally; Boeing wins $20B Navy fighter jet contract; Jabil posts earnings beat with steady guidance — key Wednesday market movers.

What stands out

The clip highlights three market-moving headlines in quick succession: Citi downgraded Moderna after a recent parabolic rally, Boeing announced a roughly $20 billion U.S. Navy fighter-jet contract, and Jabil reported an earnings beat with steady guidance that barely moved the stock. The most interesting thread is the contrast between headlines and underlying signals, Moderna is rallying hard even as analysts cut ratings, Boeing’s big contract arrives while its short-term price trend is weak, and Jabil’s solid results failed to spark follow-through in the tape.
