11:51 AM EDT, 05/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were about flat in late-morning trading Wednesday after Iranian state media reported that an unofficial draft of a US-Iran interim peace deal says that maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz would return to normal within a month of the agreement being finalized. Later, the White House said the report of an interim peace deal was a "complete fabrication" and "not true."

Boston Scientific ( BSX ) Chief Executive Mike Mahoney mentioned possible short-term challenges facing the company during a presentation Wednesday at an industry conference. Mahoney said Boston Scientific ( BSX ) is "not going to likely grow faster than our peer group in the short term, but as that Denali platform gets launched in our emblem with [subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator] leadless pacemaker, that will help our growth in our [cardiac rhythm management] business," according to the report. Boston Scientific ( BSX ) shares were down 9.8%.

PDD Holdings ( PDD ) reported Q1 non-GAAP earnings Wednesday of 9.51 Chinese renminbi ($1.38) per diluted American depositary share, down from 11.41 renminbi a year earlier and below the FactSet consensus of 16.56 renminbi.
