Weekly Roundup: Meta's Big Week, Paramount Skydance Mixed, Forte Biosciences Soars

On this episode of Stock Movers, we take a look at some of the week's biggest gainers and decliners: - Meta Platforms' (META) plans to manufacture its in-house AI chip made companies like Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA Corp. happy. The AI infrastructure companies' stocks rose, with Lumentum rising 12% and KLA and Lam Research advancing 4.5% and 6.3%, respectively. Meta's decision to move forward with its in-house chip could be a boon for Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA, which make wafer fab equipment that turns raw silicon wafers into microchips. - Paramount Skydance Media (PSKY) shares are trending after a report that U.S. states could sue to block the company’s $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. States concerned about the deal’s competitive impact could file suit as soon as next week, according to sources familiar with the matter. - Forte Biosciences shares surge as much as 47%, most intraday since May 2025, after the biotech company said its experimental molecule FB102 showed a statistically significant benefit in vitiligo observed by week 24 after completion of 12-week treatment period.

The weakness stood out against a stronger broader market. The Nasdaq gained 0.32%, the S&P 500 added 0.31% and the Technology sector rose 0.4%, suggesting the move was driven by stock-specific selling rather than broader market sentiment. - WD-40 (WDFC) stock jumped 21% in early trading Friday after its earnings highlighted the value in having a good product and knowing how to sell it. Revenue jumped 24% to $195.1 million in the company's fiscal third quarter, driven by sales of its flagship WD-40 Multi-Use product across the world.
