Sempra Southwest Southern Stocks Rise Amid Market Slump

On a generally weak trading day for the U.S. stock market, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both declining, several individual stocks managed to outperform. Southwest Airlines shares rose by 3.22%, closing well below its 52-week high but showing resilience amid the broader market downturn. Southern Co. advanced 1.51%, marking its third consecutive day of gains despite the negative market environment. Sempra's shares increased by 4.47%, also closing below its 52-week peak but outperforming the market's general decline. Meanwhile, Systech Bhd, a Malaysian software company, saw a 26% rebound over the last 30 days, reflecting strong revenue growth, though it remains 45% down over the past year. On the other hand, Sysco Corp. shares fell 1.24% despite an overall positive day for the market, closing just shy of its 52-week high.
