ScanSource stock closed down about 3.5% today, even though the latest quarter landed with the kind of punch long term holders usually want to see.

ATRenew stock edged up about 2% to US$4.16 today, a modest move for a company that just posted another hefty jump in second quarter product revenue and stronger non GAAP operating income.
