The tech companies' peers also were boosted early Monday. Shares of Apple were up as much as 2.6%, while Amazon was up 2.4%.
Tesla, meanwhile, continued to pop on production and delivery figures that broadly beat expectations. The company's stock was up as much as 7%.
Alphabet was also likely boosted after the Supreme Court sided with Google against Oracle in a long-running copyright dispute over the software used in Android. Morgan Stanley also wrote in a Monday note that its analyst, Brian Nowak, said the Google parent company was "a favored pick at ~13x '22 EBITDA with several upside drivers — dark horse travel trade, surging YouTube trends, continued Google Cloud Platform top-line traction, and potential margin upside with opex discipline."
