Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Meta (META) shares rallied after a Bloomberg News report that the Facebook parent is developing plans for a cloud-infrastructure business to sell its excess AI compute.
- AOL owner Bending Spoons (BSP) shares rose 14% above their initial public offering price after the company and some of its backers raised $1.68 billion. The trading gives Bending Spoons a market value of over $20 billion. That compares with a valuation of about $14.5 billion in 2025, after a funding round comprised of $270 million in primary capital and $440 million in secondary capital and a $2.8 billion debt package, according to PitchBook data. Bending Spoons was formed in 2013 and derived its name from a scene in the 1990s science-fiction film The Matrix. The company brings a private equity-style playbook to distressed software apps, buying largely subscription-based services, trimming their staff and handing operations to coders. In addition to Vimeo, which it bought in 2025, it acquired AOL, file-sharing service WeTransfer, note-taking app Evernote and Remini, a popular photo app that uses artificial intelligence.
- Nike (NKE) shares closed higher, erasing an earlier drop that was spurred by the sneaker company reducing its revenue outlook for the next two quarters. Some Wall Street analysts are defending the stock despite the weaker outlook, with BTIG calling sentiment “overly depressed.” Shares are down 33% this year, on pace for their worst annual decline since 1997.
