The U.S. stock market commenced trading with a mixed bag of results among its three key indices: the Nasdaq experienced a slight dip of 0.11%, while the S&P 500 climbed 0.18%, and the Dow Jones edged up by 0.08%. Focusing on individual stocks, Microsoft's share price took a significant hit, plummeting more than 9% following a deceleration in cloud business revenue growth during the second quarter and a substantial rise in capital expenditures. Conversely, Meta's stock surged over 10%, buoyed by a fourth-quarter performance and revenue outlook that surpassed expectations, coupled with robust advertising business results. Tesla's stock price witnessed a 1.5% increase as the company disclosed plans to discontinue the Model S/X, pivot towards the robotics sector, and unveil the third-generation Optimus robot this quarter. Additionally, IBM's shares jumped over 7%, driven by fourth-quarter results that exceeded forecasts, a staggering 92% spike in net profit, and a cumulative AI business order volume surpassing $12.5 billion.
