On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Alphabet (GOOGL) rose as much as 7.5% in extended trading. The company reported quarterly sales that beat analysts’ estimates, buoyed by the performance of its cloud unit, which is growing as artificial intelligence startups seek Google’s support and computing power.

- Microsoft (MSFT) posted earnings, and shares fell about 3% in extended trading after closing at $541.55 in New York. Microsoft reported expansion in its Azure cloud computing unit that failed to impress investors who have grown optimistic about the business.

- Meta (META) reported third-quarter sales of $51.2 billion, which beat analysts’ average estimate of $49.6 billion. Shares fell after the company also reported third-quarter net income of $2.71 billion, which included a one-time, non-cash income tax charge of $15.9 billion due to the implementation of the tax bill signed into law in July.
