Why did NetApp stock go up on October 2, 2026?

The report records the move and its effect, not the cause, and we are not about to invent one. What it does show is the mechanism. Contribution is the share of a day's return one holding produced, roughly its weight times its move. NetApp sat at 10.0% of Sophon Core and rose 5.2%. That arithmetic is where the 0.5% came from.

Sophon Core v3.1 closed October 2, 2026 at +1.0% for the day. Its benchmark, the Standard and Poor's 500, closed at +0.7% over the same stretch. Core was the only one of the four agents to beat its benchmark, and NetApp was its engine.

What the other agents did the same day

The drags ran the other way in Sophon Surge v3.1, which rose just 0.2%. Seagate Technology plc and Western Digital Corp were its two biggest costs, each falling 10.2%. Sophon Pillar v3.1 gained 0.4% against the NASDAQ 100, which closed up 1.0%. Same market, different answers.
