<v Speaker 3>we await earnings to cross the Bloomberg terminal, got to

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 3>go to meta platforms. This definitely was an outperformer in

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 3>today's session. Of course, twenty four hours ago we were

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 3>breaking down their earnings. It's the number three gainer in

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.480
<v Speaker 3>the S and P five hundred, I believe the number

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>one in the Nasdaq one hundred. That stock, as you

<v Speaker 3>The company also gave a revenue outlook that was much

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 3>stronger than expected, which helped offset set really the impact

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 3>of higher AI related spending that has been on everybody's minds,

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 3>but nonetheless investors being pretty rosy when it comes to meta.

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.880
