All part of a well-balanced breakfast... Kellogg stock enjoyed its best day in 19 years thanks to snacks (feels meta saying this). Cereal sales fell another 5% as açai and oats replace Frosted Flakes. But the highlight was Kellogg's Pringles, Cheez-Its, and Pop-Tart snacks growing 4%. Plus, its ingredient-transparent RX Bar enjoyed 20% growth to cap off the snacks theme.

Magic Number = 50%... Apple popped 4% when it revealed that, for the first time since 2012, less than half of revenues came from iPhones. iPhone sales fell 12%, but investors are impressed by Apple's new profit puppies: recurring subscription revenues from Apple Music, iCloud, and Apple News+.

Not your dad's lawn company... Scotts Miracle-Gro is known for boosting homeowners' lawn and garden game. But the 151-year-old company enjoyed an 18% sales jump, powered by indoor pot growing. Scotts' hydroponics division provides the lights, nutrients, and greenhouse goodies for marijuana cultivation — and those sales surged 49% as legalization gains mojo.
