Broadcom surged after a multi-year pact to supply custom ASIC silicon to Apple, O’Reilly slid to the lowest levels since January 2025 amid reports it’s pursuing Genuine Parts’ auto-parts unit, and those headlines pushed Genuine Parts into the story by association. Bloomberg’s stock movers pack three useful reminders for investors: a single strategic supply deal can re-rate a semiconductor franchise, takeover chatter can swing retail and auto parts names, and market noise often outpaces quarterly results.
