Cybersecurity Bounces Back, Sysco Sinks, Fannie and Freddie Surges

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Shares of security software companies are rising on Monday, with the group rebounding in the wake of recent weakness, which had been spurred by concerns over AI-related disruption. The Global X Cybersecurity ETF rose 2.4%. Palo Alto Networks shares were leading the S&P 500 higher on Monday, while shares of fellow cybersecurity companies were seeing strong rallies as well. A few factors may help explain the big moves.

- Sysco (SYY) shares sink as much as 14%, the most intraday since April 2020, after the food and related products distributor agreed to acquire Jetro Restaurant Depot for $21.6 billion in cash and 91.5 million Sysco shares.

- Shares of Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) surged by more than 30% each on Monday after Bill Ackman called both stocks “stupidly cheap,” the billionaire’s latest bullish bet on the U.S.-controlled mortgage giants he’s lobbied to have relisted on the public markets, as the Trump administration considers plans.
