SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) call activity spikes with shares testing $7 floor

SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) call activity spikes with shares testing $7 floor

SoundHound AI, Inc. jumped 6.26% to finish at $6.96 Monday. Volume hit 28.69 million shares, sitting a bit above its 65-day average. That move outpaced late-session gains in Invesco QQQ Trust and iShares Russell 2000 ETF, up 1.7% and 0.6% before the close. Trading resumed after Nasdaq’s July 3 Independence Day holiday. $7 is the key level here. On July 2, SoundHound said in a filing that the LivePerson, Inc. stock component will use a 10-day Nasdaq VWAP ending three trading days before close. But there’s a floor at $7 on SoundHound’s stock in the formula, and a cap at $12.

MARA Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) rallies as AI trade outpaces Bitcoin

MARA Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) rallies as AI trade outpaces Bitcoin

MARA Holdings, Inc. jumped 6.4% to $13.19 around midday Monday. Bitcoin-mining and AI-infrastructure stocks outpaced Bitcoin after TeraWulf reported new numbers tied to AI power leases. Bitcoin was up 1.4% at $63,519. Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 added 1.8%. MARA hasn’t posted a press release since May 15, according to its feed. So traders were mostly reacting to numbers from sector peer TeraWulf Inc. instead of any new MARA news on Monday. The headline there is TeraWulf’s 20-year hosting deal with Anthropic, locking in around $19 billion in revenue at its 401-MW Kentucky facility.

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock looks for footing after AI backlog tops market value

Oracle Corporation shares looked ready to bounce in premarket trading on Monday. Still, the main question for investors is whether Wall Street will keep backing a company with a backlog much bigger than its market cap. The New York Stock Exchange says Friday, July 3, will be its Independence Day holiday in 2026. Trading will resume Monday. Oracle finished the last session at $140.27, down 1.56%. Investing.com quoted Oracle at $143.93 premarket at 08:52:54, up 2.61%.

Microsoft heads into post-holiday stretch with AI in focus

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 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. U.S. stock markets were closed on Friday, with the NYSE observing the Independence Day holiday on July 3. Regular trading hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET on standard sessions. For Oracle, the last normal cash close before the break came on July 2.

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.

Corning stock drops 11% in post-rally trade as AI fiber hopes hit test

Corning Incorporated heads into next week with a clearer setup after the U.S. holiday. The question now is if investors are still willing to pay up for an AI-infrastructure story after the stock’s sudden drop. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq were shut Friday, July 3, for Independence Day observed. That left Thursday’s close as the last regular U.S. price until trading restarts Monday. Corning last finished at $196.79, falling $23.84, or 10.81%, with a range from $193.54 to $224.01, according to MarketWatch. The intraday range came to $30.47, or about 15.5% of the close.

Alibaba trades near 52-week low after Kling AI funding update

Hong Kong’s stock market doesn’t trade on Sundays and stayed closed last Wednesday for the city’s Special Administrative Region Establishment Day. That gave Alibaba Group Holding Limited four trading sessions for Hong Kong investors last week. HKEX's 2026 calendar still puts the market shut on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays like July 1. Alibaba’s Hong Kong stock finished Friday at HK$94.10, slipping 0.42% on the day, but up 5.1% from last week’s HK$89.50 close. The shares are still down 49.5% from the 52-week high of HK$186.20, and 6.1% above the 52-week low of HK$88.65 seen on June 26.

Meta’s AI cloud plan puts $62 billion supplier wager in play

Meta’s AI cloud plan puts $62 billion supplier wager in play

Meta Platforms has not confirmed a commercial cloud product. The investor question is already measurable: after $19.84 billion of first-quarter capital expenditures, Meta would need to spend $105.2 billion to $125.2 billion over the final nine months of 2026 to hit its own $125 billion to $145 billion full-year guide. That implies $35.1 billion to $41.7 billion a quarter, or 77%-110% above the first-quarter pace. Reuters, citing Bloomberg News, reported that Meta is building a cloud business to sell excess AI computing capacity and may offer access to hosted models, including Muse Spark, as well as raw compute. The plans are still in development and could change. Meta declined to comment to Reuters.

U.S. equity trading was closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday, giving Oracle a break after it finished Thursday at $140.27, down 1.56%. Volume hit 44.27 million shares, about 1.56 times the 65-day average. Shares sit just 4.2% above the 52-week low of $134.57. Oracle’s AI cloud push is hitting a timing issue. The company’s backlog is now bigger than its equity value, but the bills for data centers are showing up before the revenue does. Oracle ended May with $638 billion in remaining performance obligations. That’s more than its market cap, which was $408.5 billion on the latest market data.

  • BONK hit by $20M governance exploit while HMSTR and PEPE show split performance
    July 6, 2026, 5:08 PM EDT. BONK dropped 7.8% after a $20 million treasury exploit using a governance attack, raising issues around liquidity limits in the meme-coin trade. The coin had bounced over the weekend but now has a $384.5 million market cap and $108.3 million in daily volume. The hack puts stress on the ecosystem's balance sheet. HMSTR jumped 27.2% in the past 24 hours with volume running nearly four times its market cap, suggesting quick trading turnover and light capital base. PEPE holds a bigger $1.15 billion cap and 13.8% gain for the week but trades roughly 90% off its peak, showing more stable but slower market action. The moves show how liquidity and governance trouble meme coins in different ways.
