NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 19:10 ET — Market closed
- Eos Energy Enterprises (EOSE) rose 13.3% on Friday, closing at $12.97.
- Energy-storage peers Fluence and Stem also posted double-digit gains in the session.
- Traders are watching next week’s U.S. jobs report and inflation data for clues on rate cuts.
Eos Energy Enterprises Inc shares closed up 13.3% at $12.97 on Friday, kicking off 2026 with a sharp gain in the energy-storage maker.
The move matters for investors because smaller clean-tech and grid-storage names tend to swing with shifts in risk appetite and rate expectations, and the first session of the year can amplify positioning moves.
Next week brings a dense U.S. data calendar, led by the monthly jobs report on Jan. 9 and the consumer price index on Jan. 13, both of which can move Treasury yields and expectations for Federal Reserve policy.
EOSE traded between $11.56 and $13.12 on Friday, with about 15.2 million shares changing hands, according to market data.
Other U.S.-listed energy-storage stocks also rallied. Fluence Energy gained 16.3% and Stem rose 13.2%, while Energy Vault added 6.0% and ESS Tech climbed 7.8%.
U.S. stocks finished mixed on Friday as Treasury yields moved higher, with the S&P 500 and Dow ending up and the Nasdaq slipping. “Value is outperforming growth and AI infrastructure is up,” said Jed Ellerbroek, a portfolio manager at Argent Capital. Reuters
Eos also began the year with a board leadership change taking effect. Joseph Nigro became non-executive chair on Jan. 1 after Russell Stidolph resigned, a securities filing showed.
The company designs and manufactures zinc-based battery energy storage systems for utility-scale, microgrid and commercial customers — equipment that stores electricity and releases it later to help balance the power grid.
Eos has been expanding manufacturing capacity in Pennsylvania with the backing of a federal loan guarantee. The U.S. Department of Energy said it closed a loan guarantee of up to $305.3 million in 2024 to support construction of new production lines in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania.
Before Monday’s open, traders will watch whether EOSE can hold above Friday’s $11.56 low. A move through the $13.12 session high would leave the stock testing fresh near-term chart levels after the year’s first session.
The next scheduled catalyst is quarterly results. MarketScreener’s calendar projects Eos will report fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 19, though reporting dates can shift as companies finalize schedules.
Investors are likely to keep focus on execution — production scaling, deliveries and cash needs — as Eos and its peers try to turn rising demand for grid storage into steadier revenue and margins.
