Let's break down the sectors behind the performance.

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

Utilities was the top-performing sector on Tuesday, with broad strength across the group led by several large-cap names. In addition, falling long-term yields provided a helping hand to the sector, as they reduce borrowing costs for utility companies that rely heavily on debt financing.

Several utility stocks led the sector's gains, including:

-   NRG Energy (NRG)
-   Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PCG)
-   Eversource Energy (ES)
-   Edison International (EIX)
-   Dominion Energy (D)

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

Meanwhile, the communication services sector faced the largest drawdown, with Trade Desk (TTD), one of the worst performers in the S&P 500, leading the charge lower. Alphabet (GOOGL) also faced pressure after announcing an $80 billion equity offering to fund investments in AI compute infrastructure.

Notable communication services stocks trading lower include:

-   Trade Desk (TTD)
-   Alphabet (GOOGL)
-   EchoStar (SATS)
-   Take-Two Interactive (TTWO)
-   Netflix (NFLX)
