The Midday 10

The Midday 10 — the US midday tape

The Midday 10 · 12:30 ET · 2026-07-16

A rotational tape by midday: Technology sags under a semiconductor rout while defensive and income-oriented sectors carry the index complex, leaving the S&P 500 (SPY) off 0.47 percent and the Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) down 1.56 percent.

US midday, intraday quotes (delayed)

  1. 1

    UP Cintas Corporation

    CTAS leads the mid-cap board by midday, up 7.08 percent to 205.99. The move fits the day's defensive bias, with staples and health care the tape's two strongest sectors.

  2. 2

    UP AeroVironment

    AVAV adds 6.74 percent to 150.74 by midday, continuing what has been a firm week for defense-adjacent names as the broader growth complex softens.

  3. 3

    UP TFI International

    TFII gains 6.74 percent to 156.08 and has reclaimed its 50-day average intraday — a technical reset that stands out given the industrial sector's modest 0.65 percent decline on the day.
