Tesla's stock price showed resilience Friday despite potential unionization headwinds and recent concerns from HSBC analysts who downgraded the company to "Reduce" and set a price target of $146 due to worries about profitability of upcoming projects and reliance on CEO Elon Musk.

Microsoft has achieved a fresh all-time high, with its shares crossing the $367 mark on Friday, establishing itself as a major player in the AI arena. With a market capitalization of $2.73 trillion, Microsoft now trails Apple by only $150 billion and continues to solidify its position as a leading tech giant.
$Meta Platforms (META.US)$ shares rose by 2.56%, closing at $328.77. Its options trading volume is 0.49 million. Call contracts account for 51.4% of the whole trading volume.
Meta is reportedly in discussions with Tencent to manufacture and brand a virtual reality headset using Meta's hardware specifications and software. According to a source familiar with the matter, talks are ongoing and a decision hasn't been made on branding or naming. The partnership may mark a return to China for Meta after Facebook and Instagram were blocked in the country. This collaboration would also bring together two significant players in the metaverse space. Tencent has been exploring deals to expand its metaverse ambitions, such as a potential acquisition of Chinese gaming handset maker Black Shark last year.
