$IP $META — Meta’s $35 billion stock offering to fund AI expansion and Pfizer’s regulatory win headline a mixed market day that also featured multiple securities-class actions, an industrials downgrade tied to AI capex, and fresh corporate AI moves from Cisco, FF EAI Robotics and Music IP.

$GOOGL — Alphabet faces a fresh securities suit after a 7.13% slide, chip names and AI exposures show renewed volatility, and J.P. Morgan expands tokenized money-market distribution — today’s headlines highlight regulatory, legal and infrastructure themes that could reverberate across portfolios.
