[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.11%) is hovering just off session lows, albeit in a winning effort, now up about 7 points.
Elsewhere, S&P 500 constituents Super Micro Computer (SMCI 44.47, +3.33, +8.09%), Palantir Technologies (PLTR 76.46, +4.59, +6.39%), and AutoZone (AZO 3292.00, +101.93, +3.20%) pepper the top of the average. Embattled IT firm Super Micro Computer is higher on Friday alongside general strength in the tech space, while PLTR also generally finds strength in the tech rally alongside news that it inked partnerships with Booz Allen (BAH) and Shield AI, with AZO pushing to all-time highs ahead of next week's earnings.
Meanwhile, California-based medical device firm Cooper (COO 99.10, -4.13, -4.00%) is near the bottom of the standings following last night's guidance miss.
