D-Wave Quantum stock slides into weekend after sharp swing; QBTS investors eye late-January deal timeline

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 19:29 EST — The market has closed for the day. D-Wave Quantum Inc shares ended Friday down 4.0%, closing at $28.11 after a choppy session. Investors now turn to next week for updates on the company’s growth strategy. This move is significant now because D-Wave has turned into a fast-money favorite once more. Even minor changes in expectations can pack a punch when investors juggle execution risks alongside lofty promises in a developing technology. U.S. markets are closed for the weekend, shifting attention to Monday’s open and the potential impact of Wall Street Zen’s recent

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 7:16 PM EST — Market closed. Netflix Inc shares closed Friday down 1.2% at $89.46, hitting an intraday low of $88.33 as investors mulled over deal risks and the upcoming earnings report. Markets are closed for the weekend, leaving a tricky situation: a major acquisition underway, a rival bidder stepping up with cash, and Netflix’s earnings report just days away. The reason it matters now is straightforward. The stock has once again become headline-driven, as the Warner Bros Discovery deal could rapidly reshape Netflix’s footprint — and put investors’ appetite for leverage and execution risk

NuScale Power stock jumps on BofA upgrade as Meta nuclear deals set up the week ahead

NuScale Power stock jumps on BofA upgrade as Meta nuclear deals set up the week ahead

New York, January 10, 2026, 19:14 EST — Market closed NuScale Power Corp shares jumped 4.3% Friday, closing at $20.51, after Bank of America upgraded the small nuclear-reactor developer. The upgrade reignited trader interest ahead of next week. Intraday, the stock fluctuated between $19.74 and $22.49. The timing is key since “SMR” stocks have been behaving more like a thematic play than a story grounded in fundamentals, with investors tying nuclear power to surging data center demand. When the trade gains momentum, smaller, higher-beta names like NuScale can swing sharply both ways. NuScale’s news stream slowed down heading into the

BigBear.ai stock in focus after Patriots-Kraft deal as note conversion deadline nears

New York, January 10, 2026, 18:44 EST — Market closed Shares of BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (BBAI) ticked up Friday following news of a deal with the Kraft Group and the New England Patriots. The stock climbed roughly 0.6%, settling near $6.20. Fresh customer news is crucial for a small, volatile AI contractor like BigBear.ai. Investors want proof the company can secure commercial contracts beyond its government-heavy portfolio, hoping the post-deal buzz translates into actual booked revenue rather than just pilot projects. BigBear.ai faces a looming deadline in mid-January to redeem its 2029 convertible notes — a type of debt that

Opendoor stock jumps on Trump’s $200 billion mortgage bond plan; what investors watch next

Opendoor stock jumps on Trump’s $200 billion mortgage bond plan; what investors watch next

New York, January 10, 2026, 18:39 EST — Market closed Opendoor Technologies Inc shares jumped 13.2% on Friday, closing at $7.29. The rally followed President Donald Trump’s directive to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds aimed at lowering borrowing costs. The stock swung between $6.82 and $7.91, with roughly 167 million shares changing hands. This matters now since Opendoor’s business depends on housing turnover, which has been hit hard by soaring mortgage rates. Investors are quick to jump on anything hinting at rate cuts, often before the specifics are clear. Opendoor uses an “iBuyer” model, snapping up homes directly to

Rocket Companies stock (RKT) jumps on Trump’s $200B mortgage-bond move — what to watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 18:43 ET — Market closed. Shares of Rocket Companies, Inc soared 9.6% on Friday, closing at $23.29 after hitting an intraday high of $23.41. Investors rushed into mortgage lenders following new signs that Washington aims to push home-loan rates down. This matters because Rocket’s main operation—originating home loans via Rocket Mortgage—often shifts with interest rates. When borrowing costs drop, refinancing and buying activity generally rise, sparking competition among lenders for volume. The sensitivity has resurfaced amid renewed pressure from policymakers on housing affordability. Although mortgage rates have dropped from their peaks last year, they remain

Applied Digital (APLD) stock surges 18% as hyperscaler talks and $2.35B notes deal take focus

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 18:52 (ET) — Market closed Applied Digital Corporation (Nasdaq: APLD) shares jumped roughly 18% to settle at $37.68 on Friday, after fluctuating between $31.83 and $38.30 throughout the day. Trading volume hit around 86.4 million shares. The late-week surge has brought renewed focus on a high-profile market trend: firms ramping up power-hungry data centers and securing long-term leases with “hyperscalers” — major cloud providers — to handle AI workloads. Investors have zeroed in on signed megawatts and funding commitments as the key metrics. This is crucial because these projects consume cash well before generating any

Ford stock pulls back from rally as ‘eyes-off’ driving plan and Piper upgrade hit tape

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 18:59 EST — Market closed Ford Motor (F.N) shares slipped 1.4% to $14.20 on Friday, pulling back after a recent rally that had lifted the stock to multi-month highs. The jump matters now because it reignites debate over whether Ford can convert driver-assistance and software into more reliable profit, just as investors reassess the outlook for rates and consumer demand. Autos react sharply to shifts in financing costs. As the market rests over the weekend, traders are eyeing potential triggers that might reshape rate forecasts—and with them, cyclical names such as Ford. Ford’s stock climbed

Ondas Holdings stock in focus after $1 billion premium stock-and-warrant sale

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 18:42 EST — Market closed. Ondas Holdings Inc (ONDS) shares slid 2.3% to close at $13.69 on Friday, bouncing between $15.10 and $13.59 throughout the session as the market absorbed news of the company’s $1 billion financing deal. The raise is sizable by Ondas’ standards. It gives the company new ammunition for deals and growth just as interest in defense and security-focused drone stocks heats up, though it also quickly boosts the potential share count. The mix matters now, given the financing includes a heavy load of warrants—rights to purchase stock later at a set

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 18:42 EST — Market closed. Rubrik, Inc. shares dropped again Friday, ending down 1.55% at $70.56. The stock had already slipped 6.76% on Thursday, leaving it under pressure heading into the weekend. (StockAnalysis) The underperformance was notable as Wall Street’s leading indexes hit new highs, buoyed by a robust U.S. jobs report that drew funds back into stocks. This matters more than ever as the calendar turns grim for software stocks sensitive to interest rates. With markets closed until Monday, traders have limited options to manage risk ahead of crucial data likely to swing bond

NovaBay Pharmaceuticals stock doubles as NBY volatility flares again — what to watch next

New York, January 10, 2026, 18:35 EST — Market closed Shares of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Inc soared on Friday, closing up roughly 103% at $19.16. Over 10 million shares changed hands, market data showed. NovaBay is back on momentum screens before the next U.S. session, trading in a price range unseen for over a year. Why it matters now: NovaBay’s size means its price often moves on volume, not news. When that shift hits before a weekend, the following open becomes a gauge of who’s left to buy.
