Intel stock gains after BofA upgrade, foundry business in focus

Intel stock gains after BofA upgrade, foundry business in focus

Intel shares climbed at the start of the week, building on recent gains fueled by AI hopes and some shifts in market sentiment about the company’s comeback. Intel was last at $124.57, adding $7.58 or around 6.5%. U.S. stock-index futures were also higher Monday. Traders pointed to a U.S.-Iran agreement as pushing up risk appetite, with Nasdaq 100 futures rising 2.1% before the bell. Intel got bumped up two steps by Bank of America last week, going from Underperform all the way to Buy. The price target got raised to $135 from $96 as well. Price targets are where analysts think the stock could trade in the next year. Benzinga cited analyst Vivek Arya, who said he sees “higher confidence in INTC's opportunity to help address industry constraints in leading edge wafers/packaging, plus supply into a much larger agentic CPU TAM.” TAM stands for total addressable market—the potential for sales if the demand is there.

Aurora Innovation Recovers Following 23% Drop as Driverless Truck Milestone Nears

Aurora Innovation Recovers Following 23% Drop as Driverless Truck Milestone Nears

Aurora Innovation, Inc. stock bounced in the latest session, ending Friday up 2.68% at $6.13. The autonomous-trucking name then added 1.79% to $6.24 in after-hours deals, which trade after the 4 p.m. New York close. Volume came in at 41.87 million, topping the 34.45 million average from Google Finance. The pickup put Aurora back on the radar for some investors after its sharp fall. Aurora’s move comes after a steep short-term drop. Trefis said Friday that AUR slid about 23% over a seven-day losing streak, wiping out nearly $3.4 billion in market value before bouncing. Meanwhile, the broader market found support: the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.31% Friday, the S&P 500 rose 0.5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.7%, according to AP market data.

SoFi Stock Hangs Near $16, Down 40% Heading Into Q2 Earnings

SoFi Stock Hangs Near $16, Down 40% Heading Into Q2 Earnings

SoFi Technologies, Inc. closed the most recent session at $16.58, with shares trading between $16.24 and $16.92. The stock is struggling at the start of the week, even with profitable growth. SoFi now holds a market value around $22.8 billion and trades at about 37 times earnings. That P/E ratio shows what investors are paying for each dollar of profit. Investors are watching if SoFi's lending, digital-banking growth, and new tech products can support this valuation, as the stock isn't being treated just as a rapid-growth fintech anymore. Analysts are cautious on SoFi, not bearish. A June 13 MarketBeat roundup said SoFi has a consensus Hold across 21 brokerages, with an average 12-month price target near $22.56. Recent actions were mixed: Truist dropped its target to $17 and held Hold, Stephens is Overweight at $25, Citi remains at Buy and $30, and Goldman Sachs sticks with Neutral at $17. TipRanks shows the shares down about 40% this year. Wall Street still points to potential upside but has pulled back on targets after the spring earnings report.

Boeing Shares Dip After Report of Air India 737 Delivery Delay

Boeing Shares Dip After Report of Air India 737 Delivery Delay

Boeing shares closed down 1.16% at $219.05 on Friday, trading in a range from $216.70 to $223.51. The stock slid even as the S&P 500 added 0.50% and the Dow climbed 0.70%. That put Boeing out of step with the major indexes, as investors focused on company risks rather than broad market moves. Fresh pressure came after Reuters said Air India wants to push back deliveries for hundreds of new jets from Airbus and Boeing as it tries to save money. Air India made headlines in 2023 with a record 470-jet order from both. Reuters reported the airline now faces mounting losses, flight disruptions linked to the Iran conflict, a Pakistan airspace ban, and fallout from last year’s deadly Boeing 787 crash, hurting its growth plan. Boeing and Airbus did not comment, Reuters said.

KLA Jumps After 10-for-1 Stock Split; AI Chip Boom Lifts Hopes on Tools

KLA Jumps After 10-for-1 Stock Split; AI Chip Boom Lifts Hopes on Tools

KLA Corporation finished Friday at $254.54, gaining 5.55%. Shares started at $237.60 and hit a session high of $254.93. The stock, which is in the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500, has surged about 19% in two days after its split adjustment. The rally comes as investors reprice chip-equipment makers linked to AI demand. Stocks go up when buyers pay more for future earnings, cash flow or growth, and fall when those expectations drop or valuations get too high. KLA’s 10-for-1 stock split took effect at the open on June 12, with each existing share turning into 10 new shares. The company said the total value of any investor's position should stay the same. KLA said the split doesn’t change its total market cap or the percentage of the company that investors own. “This stock split is intended to improve the accessibility and liquidity of KLA shares, while maintaining consistency with our long-term capital allocation strategy,” CFO Bren Higgins said.

Trump Media Slumps Near 52-Week Low, Focus Turns to TAE Deal as Next DJT Catalyst

Trump Media Slumps Near 52-Week Low, Focus Turns to TAE Deal as Next DJT Catalyst

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. fell 5.45% to close at $7.80 on Friday, Google Finance showed. After hours, the stock changed hands at $7.89. Shares remained close to their 52-week low of $7.75. Market cap stood around $2.16 billion, with about 4.16 million shares traded, in line with typical volume. DJT’s drop stood out as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed higher for the session on June 12. DJT is under more pressure this week as the market weighs the June 10 update with TAE Technologies. Trump Media and TAE told the SEC they're still working to close their planned merger, aiming for a fourth-quarter 2026 finish or earlier. The companies also said talks about spinning off some media assets, including Truth Social, into another public company have ended.

Roku Stock Jumps 20% on Sale Talk as Investors Watch Next Catalyst

Roku Stock Jumps 20% on Sale Talk as Investors Watch Next Catalyst

Roku, Inc. shares surged Friday after reports that the streaming-TV platform is exploring strategic options, including a possible sale of the company. The stock closed at $143.66, up about 20%, after trading as high as $148.49, giving Roku a market value of roughly $21.7 billion. The move matters because takeover speculation can reset how investors value a company: buyers may pay a premium for strategic assets, but the premium can evaporate if talks fail. Reuters reported that Roku has discussed a potential combination with at least one U.S. media company, while also exploring other options such as a PIPE, or private investment in public equity, which is a direct investment into a public company by outside investors. Reuters also reported that no final decision has been made and that Roku did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Alumis Shares Surge 16% as Traders Eye New Drug Move

Alumis Shares Surge 16% as Traders Eye New Drug Move

Alumis Inc. jumped 15.55% Friday, finishing at $24.15 on Nasdaq—up $3.25. Volume hit about 2.25 million shares, more than double its typical 1.01 million average. Market cap climbed to $3.08 billion. The stock moved closer to its 52-week high of $30.60, according to Google Finance. Alumis' jump is notable because the company, a late-stage biopharma, doesn't trade on current revenue but on confidence in its main drug, envudeucitinib. Analyst data points to a bullish view: Benzinga shows a consensus Buy rating and a $36.73 target. The most recent calls include Chardan at Buy and $40, Wells Fargo at Overweight and $51, and Guggenheim with Buy and a $34 target.

Maase Shares Rise After Times Good Filing

Maase Shares Rise After Times Good Filing

Maase Inc. jumped Friday, rising 15.73% to close at $14.86 after its latest financial disclosures on the Times Good Limited deal. The acquisition, which hands Maase indirect control of Huazhi Future’s AI-computing business, sent shares through a range from $12.56 to $15.26. MAAS kept rising after hours, according to Google Finance. Benzinga, pointing to Maase's fresh 6-K, also cited the news for the move. Maase isn’t just trading as a financial-services stock anymore. In a June 12 SEC filing, Maase said it closed the Times Good deal on March 30. Times Good controls the main assets and business of Huazhi Future for accounting. The filing showed audited Times Good numbers for the year to June 30, 2025, along with pro forma results that show what Maase’s figures might look like with the acquisition folded in earlier.

Palantir Stock Slides as AI Growth Story Meets Governance and UK Contract Scrutiny

Palantir Stock Slides as AI Growth Story Meets Governance and UK Contract Scrutiny

Palantir Technologies Inc. shares fell Friday, closing at $127.99, down 2.36%, as investors weighed renewed political and governance pressure against the company’s still-rapid artificial intelligence growth story. The move left PLTR near the lower end of its day’s trading range and extended pressure on a stock that remains richly valued by conventional measures, including a trailing price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E, of about 147; P/E compares a company’s share price with its profit per share. The latest pressure was partly technical. GuruFocus, via TradingView, said Palantir had failed to hold a breakout above a descending trendline and had run into resistance near its 200-day moving average, a widely watched line showing a stock’s average price over roughly the past 200 trading sessions. The report identified support near $126.50, making that level important for short-term traders watching whether buyers step in or the selloff deepens.

Cuprina jumps after Nasdaq compliance update, but risks remain

Cuprina jumps after Nasdaq compliance update, but risks remain

Cuprina Holdings Limited shares jumped Friday after the biomedical firm said it is back in line with Nasdaq Capital Market rules, easing delisting worries. The Singapore-based company’s Nasdaq-listed stock was recently at $4.20, up roughly 74% from the previous close, and traded between $2.33 and $7.91 in heavy volume, with about 79.3 million shares changing hands. Cuprina’s June 12 filing said Nasdaq staff told the exchange’s hearings department the company is back in compliance with the minimum bid price rule. That rule requires primary securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market to keep a $1.00 minimum bid. Cuprina had missed compliance by May 26, asked for a hearing two days later, and now says the July 7 hearing is cancelled.

Musk Net Worth Approaches $1.2 Trillion as SpaceX IPO Trades Above $172

Musk Net Worth Approaches $1.2 Trillion as SpaceX IPO Trades Above $172

SpaceX began trading under the ticker SPCX after pricing its IPO at $135 a share, selling 555,555,555 Class A shares on Nasdaq. Shares opened at $150 and last changed hands at $172.16, off an intraday high of $176.45 but well above the IPO price. Elon Musk’s net worth is now in play with the stock moving in public markets. Musk’s net worth is about $1.2 trillion at that price on a mark-to-market Forbes-style basis, counting his shares and options at the latest market price. CBS News, using filings and Forbes numbers, said Musk held 4.8 billion SpaceX shares and 350 million options, pushing his wealth to roughly $1.18 trillion when SpaceX was at $168.75. At $172.16, that same calculation puts him near $1.20 trillion. Another estimate based on Bloomberg’s more conservative figures, cited by Business Insider, uses a 39% stake and gets $1.16 trillion.

The stock hit an intraday high of $105.52 and traded on volume topping 25 million shares. Funds that follow or measure against the Nasdaq-100 often have to buy shares of new entrants, so Nasdaq-100 inclusion can drive demand in the short run. Nasdaq said CoreWeave joins the index along with Astera Labs, Nebius Group, Rocket Lab and Teradyne. The lineup switches before the bell on Monday, June 22.

Tesla Draws Attention as Traders Raise SpaceX Merger Bets on Record IPO

Tesla Draws Attention as Traders Raise SpaceX Merger Bets on Record IPO

Some traders are betting again that Elon Musk could put Tesla and SpaceX together, after SpaceX’s public listing gave the idea more traction. On Kalshi, a prediction market, the odds for a merger deal happening before March 1, 2027 are trading at 36%. That rises to 40% before April 1 and 54% before May 1. To settle, Kalshi says there must be a definitive, binding agreement announced in official company statements—rumors or early talks do not qualify. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell did not dismiss the idea of a tie-up with Tesla in a CNBC interview aired Friday. “That might make Elon’s life a little easier, actually,” Shotwell said. She pointed to synergies between the two companies but added her main focus now is on SpaceX operations and expansion, not a deal.
