Doing the robot

Meta Platforms  (META)  shares are on pace to extend their historic winning streak to twenty consecutive sessions, the longest for any Nasdaq-listed stock in decades, with Friday gains powered by a report that it's planning significant investments in humanoid robots.

Bloomberg, which reported the plans, says Meta has reached out to Unitree Robotics, as well as Figure AI Inc. as part of the newly-created divisions early-stage ambitions, which will be lead by former General Motors  (GM)  Cruise executive Marc Whitten.

Meta shares were last marked 0.93% higher on the session at $735.36 each, a move that would extend the stock's year-to-date gain to around 22.7%.

Mixed early action

Stocks are edging into modest early gains, with the S&P 500 rising 5 points, or 0.08% and the Nasdaq up 30 points, or 0.15%, as markets get a boost from a weaker dollar and a pullback in Treasury bond yields following the softer-than-expected January retail sales report.

The Dow, meanwhile, slipped 55 points while the mid-cap Russell 2000 added 14 points, or 0.62%.

"Consumers pulled back hard on spending after a generous holiday season, but they were still willing to open their pocketbooks when it came to dining out," said Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. "This suggests households remain confident in the economy even as policy uncertainty has risen.

Benchmark 10-year note yields were last marked 5 basis points lower on the session at 4.471% while 2 year note yields were 4 basis points lower at 4.259%.
