Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) surge values AI cloud bet at $128 billion

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) surge values AI cloud bet at $128 billion

Meta Platforms jumped 8.8% in early New York premarket Thursday after a Reuters item said Bloomberg News reported Meta is planning to offer extra AI compute power through a new cloud business. The Nasdaq opens for its normal session at 9:30 a.m. EDT. With markets closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday, Thursday is the last U.S. cash trading day before the long weekend. The price jump wiped out some of Meta’s earlier losses this year. Shares closed at $612.91, putting Meta’s market cap at around $1.572 trillion. That’s up $127.6 billion over the last close. The single-day jump is 6.4 times what Meta spent on capital expenditures plus lease principal in Q1, and 10.3 times first-quarter free cash flow.

Dow Jones closes down 437 points, short of 20th record high close for 2026

The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 13.96 points on Wednesday. The drop came after an earlier gain that saw it hit 52,742.66, but the Dow lost steam, slipping 437.42 points from that intraday high. It settled at 52,305.24, missing out on what would have been its 20th record close of 2026. In the last 30 minutes, the index needed just a small gain to get to that milestone. Investors paid more attention to the swings in the tape than to how the Dow closed. The index fell much further from its high than the final change showed—a 31:1 ratio. The Dow traded across a 716.02-point range for the day, equal to 1.37% of its closing value, according to WSJ quotes at 4:20 p.m. EDT.

Nasdaq edges up after-hours as more stocks join in, AI seen facing tighter price scrutiny

Nasdaq edges up after-hours as more stocks join in, AI seen facing tighter price scrutiny

U.S. stocks closed up Tuesday, with the Nasdaq out front as buying broadened out beyond just AI leaders. That shift in breadth drew attention after the close. Fund managers looked for any sign the second-half rally could keep going with lofty valuations and a Fed still leaning hawkish. The main indexes closed up, Reuters/LSEG data showed. The Nasdaq was up more than four times as much as the Dow on a point-adjusted basis.

Nasdaq futures bounce ahead of open; tech protection costs remain elevated

Nasdaq paces quarter-end advance as rally faces thin breadth

U.S. stocks moved up Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite out front as the quarter wound down. But under the surface, market breadth was negative. More stocks fell than rose, despite gains in the main indexes. As of 10:08 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was little changed at 52,186.46. The S&P 500 added 0.34% to 7,465.39. The Nasdaq advanced 0.76% to 26,011.87. Decliners outnumbered advancers on the NYSE by 1.33-to-1, and by 1.29-to-1 on Nasdaq. Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors were lower. “Investors can't see an end in sight to this bull run,” said David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation. Brian Levitt, chief global market strategist at Invesco, said tech went through “a period of June gloom” that may turn around near earnings season.

Nasdaq bounce hides thin megacap recovery as US stocks end

Dow hits 52,000 in premarket as U.S. stock futures trade higher

U.S. stock futures ticked higher early Tuesday, but traders didn’t keep up Monday’s big technology rally. The key move was the gap between cash trading and futures: the Nasdaq Composite jumped over 500 points Monday, but as of 5:24 a.m. EDT, Nasdaq 100 futures added just 14.25 points. Exchanges in the U.S. were on track for a regular session. According to the NYSE’s 2026 holiday schedule, the next market closure is July 3 for Independence Day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 306.63 points, or 0.59%, at 52,182.74 Monday. The S&P 500 finished higher by 86.41 points, or 1.18%, to 7,440.43. The Nasdaq Composite gained 522.53 points, or 2.07%, at 25,820.14. Reuters reported Alphabet Inc. jumped 4.8% in its Dow debut.

US stocks edge lower after hours as ETF tape slows following Dow record, Nasdaq rise

U.S. stock-index ETFs edged lower in late trading Monday, pulling back after a session where the Dow finished at a record and the Nasdaq jumped over 2%. Regular session gains leaned on tech, index reshuffling, and quarter-end flows, but after-hours moves showed little follow-through. The main indexes ended with strong gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 306.63 points, or 0.59%, to 52,182.74. The S&P 500 jumped 86.41 points, or 1.18%, to 7,440.43. The Nasdaq Composite was up 522.53 points, or 2.07%, ending at 25,820.14, according to Reuters. The Russell 2000 edged up just 0.33 point to 3,010.42, AP said.

AI shares June 2026: memory and power plays go different ways

AI shares June 2026: memory and power plays go different ways

U.S. AI stocks closed out June showing a more defined split than earlier in the month. On one side were suppliers with signed AI orders. On the other, big spenders and software names trading at high multiples. NVIDIA, Broadcom, Micron Technology and Vertiv gave investors new operating numbers tied to their AI business. Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon.com and Meta Platforms remained key to demand, but the market focus moved in June to how the spending gets funded and what kind of payback investors can expect. That spread is what June has been about. AI names are not moving together now. When a stock looks cheap, it can signal risks like cycles, customer mix or supply. Expensive ones have to show they can grow AI sales ahead of the cost curve.

Nasdaq bounce hides thin megacap recovery as US stocks end

U.S. stocks climbed Monday, but the close didn’t fully back up the day’s upbeat numbers. The Nasdaq led gains, S&P 500 rose over 1%, and the Dow crossed 52,000. Even so, there weren’t many fresh highs and breadth stayed moderate. The move seemed more about big-cap names bouncing than a real broad rally heading into the end of the quarter. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 358.34 points, or 0.69%, ending at 52,234.45, according to Reuters. The S&P 500 finished up 78.74 points, or 1.07%, at 7,432.92. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 464.42 points, or 1.84%, closing at 25,761.96.

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) opens on Dow with $1.7 billion ETF flow question

Alphabet Inc. gained in premarket Monday, trading higher as it joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average, though the main action was in fund flows. The delayed quote put Class A at $340.80, up 1.01% from Friday's $337.39, which was down 1.84%. Volume Friday hit 114.71 million shares, nearly 360% of its 65-day average. Alphabet took Verizon Communications Inc.’s spot before the open Monday. S&P Dow Jones Indices said Verizon’s low share price meant the stock made up just 0.5% of the Dow and had little impact in the price-weighted index.

Alphabet Inc joins the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday, taking over from a telecom. The move gives the index more price heft, but Friday, the new Dow role didn’t hold off sellers. Alphabet is set to join the Dow, replacing Verizon Communications Inc before the open on June 29, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, a unit of S&P Global Inc. The index provider said Verizon’s lower share price meant it made up just half a percentage point of the Dow.
