Reddit (RDDT) will replace AvalonBay Communities in the S&P 500 starting August 18, boosting its shares by about 12% pre-market. Nintendo's shares rose up to 7.5% after Pokémon Pokopia sales surpassed 5 million units, supported by the exclusive release on Nintendo Switch 2 and upcoming console launch in Indonesia. Applied Materials (AMAT) reported strong Q3 earnings and revenue growth but saw a 5% share drop as investors expected even more after a 98% year-to-date gain. Additionally, Equity Residential's acquisition of AvalonBay will create Vivmark Residential, which will remain in the S&P 500, while Sun Communities will replace Webster Financial in the S&P MidCap 400 following its acquisition by Banco Santander.
