Tess Marek: The tape opens today with Meta, which has surged plus four point six two percent against its baseline. That is a ninety-fourth percentile move across the whole trading day. Our measurement says this is Meta's sixty-eighth biggest since-the-open session in the last one thousand fifty-eight days. It jumped one point four one percent at the open and then surged from there.

Tess Marek: The wires are auditioning for the why. MarketWatch started early, noting at eight am Eastern that the next phase of AI is here, urging attention to this profound technological shift. Later, at some number Eastern on the previous day, they highlighted a price-target boost after JPMorgan suggested Meta's Muse agent has potential to become the top AI application since ChatGPT.

Tess Marek: CNBC Technology caught up later in the evening at eight fifty pm Eastern. Mark Zuckerberg debuted his new one thousand two hundred ninety-nine dollar Meta VR Glasses and the Muse Charm pendant amid this push for AI agents. The tape prints what happened; these auditions offer context.

Tess Marek: That's the show. We're on Spotify and YouTube — if this earned it: like, subscribe, tell a friend. And housekeeping: the machine that writes this gets tuned constantly for cleaner news. The numbers are real; the jokes are not.
