On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Alphabet (GOOGL) closed higher on last week's glowing reviews for the Gemini AI model. The stock has risen almost 13% this month, and it is up nearly 70% this year, by far the top performer among the Mag 7

- E.W. Scripps (SSP) rose on a proposal by Sinclair to buy all outstanding shares of E.W. Scripps it does not already own for $7.00 per share, consisting of $2.72 in cash and $4.28 in combined company common stock.

- Novo Nordisk (NVO) closed 5.5% lower. Shares dropped after a pill version of Ozempic failed to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in a pair of long-shot studies that aimed to open up a new use for blockbuster obesity drugs.
