Meta<\/a> reported a blow-out quarter after the bell Thursday and announced a surprise first-ever dividend, which sent shares rocketing Friday by 20.44%. The move overshadowed Amazon<\/a>‘s own earnings and rally of nearly 8%, and helped lift the Wall Street indices. The Nasdaq jumped 1.89% on Friday and 1.12% for the week. The S&P closed 1.26% higher on Friday and 1.38% for the week, while Dow added 0.49% and 1.43% respectively. The latter two indices made record highs of 4,969 and 38,7078. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
