April 28 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq Composite opened lower

on Tuesday, underperforming the benchmark S&P 500 and the

intelligence boom can deliver meaningful growth for technology

stocks.

had missed internal targets for weekly users and revenue,

raising concerns over the ChatGPT parent's ability to support

its massive spending on data centers.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 109.0 points,

or 0.22%, at the open to 49,276.8. The S&P 500 fell 40.2

points, or 0.56%, at the open to 7,133.74​, while the Nasdaq

Composite dropped 277.5 points, or 1.12%, to 24,609.574.
