Microsoft Corporation heads into this week with a more direct question than other AI names—if its customer AI tools can finally start to pay off the big money still hitting GPUs, CPUs and data centers. U.S. stock markets stayed closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday, so Thursday’s close remained the last available price for the stock. Nasdaq’s normal trading is from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern, and the exchange says July 3, 2026, will also be a holiday.

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) shares slump as AI backlog now tops company’s market cap

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) shares slump as AI backlog now tops company’s market cap

Oracle Corporation goes into the July 6 restart facing an unusual challenge for the market—its cloud order backlog is bigger than the company’s equity value. Shares finished at $140.27 on July 2. That put Oracle’s market cap at roughly $408.5 billion. At the end of its fiscal fourth quarter, Oracle showed $638 billion in RPO. So the market cap is about 0.64 times the reported backlog.

For Oracle, the last normal cash close before the break came on July 2.

Ford (NYSE:F) heads into next week as F-Series builds up, testing margins and stock

Ford (NYSE:F) heads into next week as F-Series builds up, testing margins and stock

Ford Motor Company heads into the week with more focus on inventories than the raw sales figures suggest. Shares slid every day during the shortened U.S. week and finished Thursday at $13.36, off 5.5% since June 26. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust gained 2.2% over the same stretch by this reporter’s check of historical closes. S&P 500 was up 1.8% for the week, per AP market data. U.S. exchanges were shut Friday for the Independence Day holiday. Another figure worth watching is Ford’s gross stock. The company reported 190,400 F-Series units in gross stock at the end of June, while it sold 197,900 F-Series trucks in the second quarter. Overall, Ford had 471,000 vehicles in gross stock, which comes out to around 86% of Q2 sales. This isn’t a demand signal. The real question for the second half is whether Ford can move its truck and SUV inventories without heavy discounts.

Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) sinks post-holiday; Toyota partnership triggers funding after insider sale headlines

Joby comes into Monday after dropping 3.96% to $8.49 before the U.S. holiday. After-hours ticked up to $8.51. Volume spiked to 56.18 million, well over the 65-day average of 32.86 million, according to MarketWatch. Short interest and Toyota paperwork are in play. The latest filing data looks clearer than what the headline suggests. Seven Rule 144 filings on July 2 involved shares picked up July 1 as restricted stock units from Joby’s 2021 incentive plan. All together, these sales planned for about $563,851 — a small amount for the market, and even smaller compared to Joby’s 983.6 million shares out.

Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock trades at 43 times sales as holiday week begins

Palantir (PLTR) pops 14.5% in holiday week, AI trade shows fresh signs

Palantir finished the short holiday week with a 14.5% gain from June 26 to Thursday's close, outpacing the 6.1% move in the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF. The stock acted more like it was moving on its own news than just following the AI software group. NVIDIA Corp., now teaming with Palantir on sovereign AI work, added 1.2% in the same stretch. Palantir’s four-day average volume this week came in at 49.7 million shares, about 9.4% higher than MarketWatch’s 65-day norm of 45.47 million. That’s not light, but it’s nowhere near a frenzy either. Whether the rally can attract more post-holiday volume will get tested when trading resumes Monday.

Verizon (VZ) draws outsized selling as Dow laggard

U.S. stock markets were closed Friday, July 3, for Independence Day. For Verizon Communications Inc., Thursday marked the last cash-market close. The NYSE shows July 3 as the observed 2026 Independence Day holiday. The drop isn’t the only story here. Verizon was dropped from the Dow Jones Industrial Average after S&P Dow Jones Indices said its low share price meant the stock made up just half a percent of the price-weighted index. Over the next four sessions, Verizon traded 232.1 million shares, sliding 8.6%. That’s a big swing for a stock just called “almost immaterial” to the Dow.

Reuters said Nikkei Asia reported Apple has plans for five new iPhone models. For the week, Apple rose 8.76%. That compares with a 2.1% gain in the Nasdaq Composite.

Nikkei Asia, via MacRumors, reported Apple asked suppliers to get ready for 10 million foldable iPhones this year, up from an earlier plan for 7 million to 8 million units. The same story quotes IDC on an average price of $2,500 for the foldable.

Boeing 747-8F: FAA order points to a tight freighter market, not just inspection costs

Boeing 747-8F: FAA order points to a tight freighter market, not just inspection costs

The U.S. FAA is calling for checks on some Boeing Co 747-8F freighters, asking airlines to look for cracks in fuselage stringers and splice fittings. It’s a limited safety order, but shows how four-engine passenger jumbos are on their way out, even as large nose-loading freighters stay in demand. This directive covers 11 planes registered in the U.S. and flagged by Boeing’s alert bulletin, and kicks in Aug. 6. The direct cash bill is small. FAA estimates put the work at 124 hours for the radius-filler inspection and 244 hours for the cracking check, at $85 per hour. That means $31,280 in inspection costs for each plane, or $344,080 for all 11 U.S. planes.
