Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Meta Platforms (META) shares are up after Bloomberg News reported that the Facebook parent is developing plans for a cloud-infrastructure business to sell its excess AI compute.
- Alphabet (GOOG) has had a remarkable 12 months by just about any measure you can imagine. The stock price has more than doubled, raising its market capitalization by more than $2 trillion as investors see increasing strength in its artificial intelligence capabilities. At $4.3 trillion, Alphabet is now the second-most valuable company in the world, up from fifth at this time last year. And in a sign of how significant Google’s parent has become to the overall economy, the shares were added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average this week.
- American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) is well positioned to reach consensus for sales of $6.2 billion by 2028, driven by broad-based growth at Aerie, continued momentum at Offline and a recovery in on-trend denim and bottoms at the namesake brand.
