Meta carrying the room while Oracle bleeds out — that's your Friday in two names.

Meta carrying the room while Oracle bleeds out — that's your Friday in two names.

META up 4.5%, closing at 777.59. Momentum, pure and simple. INTC up 3.91% to 127.39 — Intel catching a bid, don't overthink it. LLY up 2.68% to 1181.89, Eli Lilly keeps grinding. AMD up 2.38% to 629.26, chips holding their own.

ORCL down 3.47% to 139.54 — that's the session's sharpest drop, post-earnings hangover. WMT off 2.66% to 107.59, consumer spending nerves creeping in. Broadcom down 1.30% to 350.36, giving back ground quietly. GOOGL up 1.34% to 342.36, steady but unremarkable.

Tech split down the middle — winners on the software and social side, pressure on the infrastructure names.

Futures flat. SPY off 0.08%, QQQ barely negative at 0.01%. No conviction either direction heading into the close of the week. VIX sitting at 15.67 — complacent, not alarmed. Gold up 0.62%, modest safe-haven creep but nothing screaming panic. ETFs confirm the drift: IWM down 0.09%, DIA down 0.32%, small caps and blue chips both soft.

Nothing on the economic calendar today. Asian markets unavailable overnight, so no read from the East.

Earnings: FGPR and TBN report before the open. TBN consensus EPS estimate sitting at negative 0.16. Both are small names — position size accordingly.

Clean tape, no macro catalysts, and futures whispering nothing. That means today is about the stocks that already moved and whether they hold.

Numbers don't lie. People do. Trade accordingly.
