Big Tech stocks were a mixed bag on Monday, after a bruising week that saw more than $1 trillion wiped from their market caps.

Oracle climbed 9% and Microsoft gained 3%. Nvidia and Meta each added more than 2%. Alphabet inched higher. Amazon shares sank slightly.

Oracle got a boost from D.A. Davidson's upgrade on the stock.
