The company posted better-than-expected earnings, as the number of customers who signed up for its plans over the final quarter of 2024 topped Wall Street estimates. Shares of the cell-phone giant tested highs not seen since before the pandemic.
Universal Music Group rose after the music label said it signed a multiyear agreement for recorded music and music publishing with Spotify.
Shares of companies that provide data-center services plunged amid fears that U.S. corporations will cut back on tech-infrastructure spending following rock-bottom estimates of Chinese expenses building artificial-intelligence models.
