- Entergy (ETR) was the best performing stock in the S&P 500 Friday, jumping 8%. The gains came after Meta struck a deal with Entergy Louisiana, through which it will pay for new energy infrastructure to support a forthcoming data center in the region. The $27 billion facility, currently under construction, is set to be Meta's largest data center ever.

- Shares of Jack Daniel’s whiskey maker Brown-Forman (BF/B) soared as much as 21% on Thursday, a record intraday climb, following a Bloomberg report that French beverages company Pernod Ricard is seeking to buy the company. Wall Street notes that the Brown family has the majority of voting control and has rebuffed previous attempts to sell, but persistent industry weakness could make a deal more likely.

- Coinbase Global (COIN) shares fell over 3% in Friday’s premarket session, following a 4.26% decline during Thursday’s trading. The total crypto market cap dropped 3.2% to $2.3 trillion on Friday, with Bitcoin trading down 2.27% over the last 24 hours to $68,231.67.
