Let's break down the sectors behind the performance.

## **Today's Top-Performing Sector**

Information technology was the top-performing sector on Thursday. Cisco (CSCO) topped the charts after its first-quarter earnings beat on both revenue and EPS, powered by strong demand for AI infrastructure. Broadcom (AVGO) was also a top performer after Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers raised his price target to $545 from $430.

Several information technology stocks led the sector's gains, including:

-   Cisco (CSCO)
-   AppLovin (APP)
-   Broadcom (AVGO)
-   Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
-   Zebra Technologies (ZBRA)

## **Today's Worst-Performing Sector**

Meanwhile, the materials sector faced the largest drawdown as investors rotated out of cyclical stocks and into higher-growth areas of the market. A decline in gold (XAUUSD) and silver (XAGUSD) prices also weighed on mining stocks, while a stronger dollar added pressure across the sector.

Notable materials stocks trading lower include:

-   Albemarle (ALB)
-   Newmont Mining (NEM)
-   Air Products and Chemicals (APD)
-   CF Industries (CF)
-   Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)
