AbbVie-Apogee deal on radar for US healthcare stocks next week

AbbVie-Apogee deal on radar for US healthcare stocks next week

Healthcare stocks in the U.S. could move Monday after a report said AbbVie is nearing a $10.9 billion cash takeover of Apogee Therapeutics. That price would be about 60% over where Apogee ended Thursday. Neither company has confirmed a deal. The report came out Friday as U.S. exchanges were closed for Juneteenth, so investors got no chance to trade during normal hours. Markets stay closed Sunday and won’t reopen until 9:30 a.m. EDT on June 22. AbbVie and Apogee are expected to be in focus when the sector opens.

Applied Digital stock ends higher as AI data-center funding shapes holiday-shortened week

Applied Digital stock ends higher as AI data-center funding shapes holiday-shortened week

Applied Digital shares ended a holiday-shortened U.S. trading week higher, with investors still weighing the Dallas company’s rapid buildout of artificial-intelligence data centers against the debt needed to pay for it. The stock closed Thursday at $46.59, up 2.24% on the day, before Nasdaq’s Juneteenth market closure on Friday. The gain matters now because Applied Digital is trying to prove it can turn signed AI leases into powered campuses, not just announcements. Its shares rose roughly 9.1% over the four-session week, using Thursday’s close against the previous Friday’s $42.70 finish.

Sandisk stock hits record as AI memory rally faces long weekend and Micron test

Sandisk stock hits record as AI memory rally faces long weekend and Micron test

Sandisk Corp’s stock entered the weekend at a record, capping a sharp holiday-shortened advance as investors crowded into memory-chip names tied to the build-out of artificial-intelligence data centers. The shares were shown at $2,184.75, with pricing history showing a June 18 close at that level, up $225.95, or 11.54%, before U.S. trading paused for Juneteenth. That pause matters. Nasdaq’s 2026 calendar lists June 19 as closed for Juneteenth, and regular Nasdaq trading runs Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, leaving investors to carry the Sandisk move into Monday’s reopen without a Friday cash session to reset prices.

Nebius climbs ahead of Nasdaq-100 debut in AI cloud run-up

Nebius stock heads to Nasdaq-100 debut after holiday-shortened rally

Nebius Group N.V. heads into Monday’s Nasdaq-100 debut after a sharp, holiday-shortened rally that took its Nasdaq-listed shares to $286.69 at Thursday’s close, with U.S. equity markets shut Friday for Juneteenth and then for the weekend. The stock ended the week 23.4% above its June 12 close and touched $298.80 intraday on Thursday. Why it matters now is simple: index money. Nasdaq said the rebalance takes effect before the open on Monday, June 22; the Nasdaq-100, a benchmark of large non-financial Nasdaq-listed companies, is tracked by more than 200 investment products with over $800 billion in assets. Passive funds — funds that copy an index rather than pick stocks — will need to align with the new line-up.

Dispute over ASML China EUV orders puts U.S. export rules to the test

Dispute over ASML China EUV orders puts U.S. export rules to the test

ASML is under new scrutiny in the U.S. after reports surfaced that China could have one of the company’s most advanced chipmaking tools. The move throws Europe’s biggest tech name back into the spotlight as Washington presses efforts to block Chinese access to high-end artificial intelligence hardware. ASML said it has not shipped any extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, or any parts made specifically for those machines, to China. The company responded after Bloomberg said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick brought up the matter in talks with senior ASML executives. EUV machines use short-wavelength light to create the smallest features on chips and are needed for top-end processors.

Dow Jones Pauses for Juneteenth Holiday After Weekly Gain

Dow Jones Pauses for Juneteenth Holiday After Weekly Gain

Fermi rally stalls with Nasdaq closed for Juneteenth as proxy fight simmers

Fermi rally stalls with Nasdaq closed for Juneteenth as proxy fight simmers

Fermi Inc. heads into the long weekend after a sharp rally, with no Friday session to follow it up. The Nasdaq-listed AI power campus builder ended Thursday at $9.50, gaining around 10%, before U.S. equity markets closed for Juneteenth. Fermi is still pitching its potential more than showing operating results. Its value hangs on whether Project Matador—the planned Amarillo, Texas site—can shift from land and permits to locking in customers. Fermi says it wants to build a 17-gigawatt private grid at the site, calling a gigawatt 1 billion watts of power. The company says about 6 GW has permits, nearly $1 billion of financing is committed, and first power is aimed for 2026.

Rocket Companies shares gain ahead of holiday pause as mortgage rate bets linger

Rocket Companies shares gain ahead of holiday pause as mortgage rate bets linger

Rocket Companies shares climbed 9.08% on Thursday to end at $14.42, their highest single-day gain this week. Trading volume hit around 52.8 million shares. The jump sends Rocket into the long U.S. holiday weekend with momentum, as the New York Stock Exchange closes Friday for Juneteenth. Thursday’s finish stands as the last regular close. Rocket is seen as a high-sensitivity play on housing, which is in focus now. When mortgage rates fall, investors often circle back to lenders. They hunt for names that can gain share in purchase and refinance loans. Refinancing swaps out an old mortgage for a new one, often to cut the interest rate or shift the loan terms.

HIVE Digital stock gains after Bell-Cohere AI deal, Bitcoin miner pushes pivot

HIVE Digital Technologies shares in Toronto jumped Friday after its BUZZ High Performance Computing unit nailed down a $220 million GPU cloud deal over three years with Bell Canada and Cohere. Investors got a live look at the Canadian stock, with Nasdaq trading paused for Juneteenth. HIVE traded at C$6.57, up 8.8%, at 12:52 p.m. ET. On the U.S. side, HIVE’s Nasdaq shares last ended Thursday at $4.26, up 7.3%, and ticked up to $4.28 in after-hours. Timing is key here. Nasdaq will shut on Friday for Juneteenth, making Thursday’s session the last one before the holiday break. In Toronto, trading shows that investors are still pricing in HIVE’s move from mainly Bitcoin mining to high-performance computing, or HPC, which rents out processing power for AI and big workloads.

Transocean slips ahead of Juneteenth holiday; contract wins don’t lift RIG

Transocean Ltd. heads into the long U.S. holiday weekend under pressure, with shares sagging after Thursday’s drop wiped out gains from new contract awards. RIG ended Thursday off 4.8% at $5.31. U.S. equity markets are shut Friday for Juneteenth National Independence Day. The stock’s fall is notable as broader indexes moved higher. S&P 500 gained 1.1% Thursday, the Nasdaq Composite was up 1.9%, and the Russell 2000 jumped 2.1%. Crude was volatile, with prices swinging after the United States and Iran agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to tankers, according to the Associated Press.

AT&T stock enters Juneteenth break under pressure as California fight widens

AT&T Inc. shares go into the Juneteenth break near a June low, after a four-day slide and a fresh push by California regulators to keep the company tied to its legacy phone network. That matters now because Friday is not a trading day. The New York Stock Exchange lists Juneteenth National Independence Day as a 2026 market holiday, so Thursday’s $22.01 close is the last live mark before investors return Monday. AT&T fell about 5.5% from Monday’s close through Thursday.

Apple Faces Key AI Event, Wall Street Focuses on Siri

Apple’s price changes draw attention to AI memory issues; Micron stock climbs

Apple will hike prices to make up for higher memory and storage chip costs, tying AI expansion more clearly to consumer device prices. CEO Tim Cook told The Wall Street Journal that “price increases are unavoidable” after Apple had tried to cover the rising costs, Reuters reported. Gas prices are down. AAA said the average for regular gasoline in the U.S. dropped to $3.973 a gallon on June 19, dipping below $4 for the first time since March. Drivers are catching a break, but consumers could see higher costs next in devices, not at the pump.

QuantumScape shares surged 16.52% to $8.04 on Thursday after the company announced an R&D deal with Honda, handing the solid-state battery firm its first obvious catalyst in months during the holiday-shortened trading week.
