On this episode of Stock Movers, we take a look at some of the week's biggest gainers and decliners:

- Shares of Skyworks (SWKS) surged after CEO Philip Brace updated investors about the status of a key merger. The stock gained 26%, the best five-day session streak since a stretch in February 2009.

- Lululemon's (LULU) turnaround won't be a quick or easy fix as the company cedes market share to rivals and suffers deepening sales declines, according to BMO Capital Markets. BMO initiated coverage of the stock with an underperform rating and a $70 price target, assuming a roughly 29% decline from where the shares closed on Friday. Analysts say the company's "irrelevance with the consumer is showing up in the numbers" and that Lululemon will need to cut prices or liquidate merchandise to reinvigorate demand, which will also pressure margins. During trading on Friday, share rose to just under $100 per share at the close in New York. While the average price target of about $100 is near where shares traded at Friday’s close, the stock has slumped 52% this year and is down more than 80% from a December 2023 record.

- Cooper (COO) led the decliners in health care and lowered its full-year-outlook. On Thursday, it saw its shares tumble as much as 20%, the most intraday since 2008.

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Oracle (ORCL) delivered quarterly cloud computing revenue that exceeded Wall Street’s expectations, though the company’s gross margins narrowed. Sales in the cloud infrastructure business jumped to $7.4 billion, above analysts’ estimates of $7.19 billion on average, and the company added 850 megawatts of data center capacity in the quarter. Oracle reported $28.5 billion in capital expenditures and booked more than $30 billion of additional AI cloud contracts during the quarter, raising its remaining performance obligations to $664 billion. Shares of Oracle surged in trading earlier in the day today, before giving back some of those gains. 

- Microsoft (MSFT) plans to more than triple its data center capacity to help overcome a computing shortage that has forced it to turn away some AI and cloud business. The company's data center capacity will have more than 38 gigawatts of capacity in 2032, up from about 12 gigawatts now, according to people familiar with the plans. A shortage of computing power has been the company's biggest impediment, prompting some customers to take new business elsewhere and frustrating Microsoft salespeople eager to sell cloud and artificial intelligence services. Shares of Microsoft rallied in trading on Friday.

- Adobe (ADBE) gave an outlook for sales that narrowly missed analysts’ estimates when it released earnings on Thursday, adding fuel to concerns that artificial intelligence upstarts are hurting the software maker’s business. Shares of Adobe fell in extended trading after earnings and have been mixed today.
