Wall Street closes mixed on Friday: Dow up 0.46 percent, Nasdaq down 0.64 percent
Jul 25, 2026
The main US stock indexes closed mixed on Friday 24 July 2026 (2 Mordad 1405). The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 235.60 points, or 0.46 percent, to 51,947.25, the S&P 500 added 0.05 percent to 7,411.98, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.64 percent to close at 24,975.82.
The main drag on the market came from chip stocks. Intel shares declined even though the company's second quarter revenue reached 16.1 billion dollars, above analyst expectations, after it raised its 2026 capital spending outlook to more than 20 billion dollars. Investors were at the same time tracking developments in the Iran US war and its possible effect on energy flows.
Over the week ending 2 Mordad the S&P 500 lost about 0.5 percent, marking its fifth consecutive weekly decline, the index's longest weekly losing run in close to four years.

Edalat (Justice) Shares Dividend Will Not Be Paid in Shahrivar
According to Donya-e-Eqtesad, citing Fararu, despite recent rumors, a new payment of Edalat (Justice) Shares dividends will not be made in Shahrivar 1405 (roughly late August to mid September 2026). Per informed sources, the process of collecting profits from investee companies is not yet complete, and the next payment stage requires pooling about 25 trillion tomans in funds that these companies have so far been unable to set aside. Per the report, the dividend due to be paid to more than 40 million Edalat Shares holders in the next stage relates to the final portion of the 1403 fiscal year (ending March 2025) and is estimated at 500,000 to 600,000 tomans per shareholder. Trading of Edalat Shares remains unavailable. The current market value of a 490,000 toman nominal portfolio has reached 43,990,000 tomans, and a 1,000,000 toman portfolio has reached 90,514,000 tomans.

Farabourse Iran Reports 16 Companies Improved Their Audit Opinion Within a Year
According to Boursenews, Jalal Baharestan, Farabourse Iran's deputy for issuer oversight, said that of 83 Farabourse listed companies identified in Shahrivar 1404 (August/September 2025) as having qualified audit opinions, 16 companies, or 20 percent, managed to have their auditor's opinion upgraded to "unqualified" by Shahrivar 1405 (August/September 2026) after a year of follow up. He said the total number of audit qualification clauses across these companies fell 30 percent over the same year. Baharestan said that after identifying the 83 companies, Farabourse engaged with issuers on the issues raised in their audit reports and asked their boards to submit corrective plans and clear timelines to resolve the ambiguities. He said the improvement was not limited to companies exiting qualified status, as other issuers have also improved reporting quality by clarifying their accounts and resolving financial disputes.
