Healthcare stocks in focus: Molina shock, FDA “copycat” warning and XLV set up Monday’s trade

Healthcare stocks in focus: Molina shock, FDA “copycat” warning and XLV set up Monday’s trade

Molina Healthcare plunged 25.5% to $131.72 on Friday, after the company told investors to brace for at least $5 in adjusted earnings per share in 2026—missing what analysts had penciled in. The Medicaid specialist also plans to pull out of Medicare Advantage Part D prescription drug plans starting in 2027. CEO Joseph Zubretsky described 2026 as a “trough year” for Medicaid margins. Molina attributed the trimmed outlook to losses from its Part D business and a fresh Florida Medicaid contract, each dragging estimates by $1 and $1.50 per share. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund didn’t follow Molina lower, instead picking up 1.8% to finish at $157.71.

Big Tech stocks swing on AI spending fears: Amazon slides, Nvidia rebounds as week ahead looms

Investors can't agree on whether the AI surge is worth the price tag as Big Tech heads into next week. Amazon.com slid 5.6% on Friday, while Nvidia soared 7.9%.

Defense and space stocks rally, but Trump’s buyback-dividend squeeze is the next test

Defense and space stocks rally, but Trump’s buyback-dividend squeeze is the next test

Space and defense names trading in the U.S. finished in the green Friday. The market’s focus, though, has shifted—earnings aren’t the spark this time, nor is fresh demand for missiles. Instead, investors are eyeing an upcoming Pentagon list that threatens to restrict buybacks and dividends for contractors failing to meet delivery targets.
