Analysis: The most likely driver is a strong second-quarter report that showed record sales, adjusted earnings above the high end of guidance, and a higher full-year adjusted earnings outlook. Investors also appear to be responding to continued strength in electrical and aerospace demand, including unusually strong data-center-related orders.
