Constellation Energy stock jumps as TD Cowen turns bullish, Meta nuclear deals lift power names

New York, January 9, 2026, 14:44 EST — Regular session Constellation Energy Corp shares were up 5.6% at $340.51 in afternoon trading on Friday, extending a sharp rally in U.S. power producers as investors latched onto new long-term demand signals and a fresh bullish call on the stock. The move matters because the market is treating reliable generation — especially nuclear and flexible gas plants — as scarce again. Data centers and new industrial loads are pushing utilities and generators back into the spotlight, and investors are paying up for companies that can sign long-term contracts. Constellation sits in the

AST SpaceMobile stock snaps back near $100 as BofA lifts target after Scotiabank cut

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:40 (EST) — Regular session AST SpaceMobile shares rose 8.6% to $98.34 in Friday afternoon trading after Bank of America raised its price target on the space-based broadband company to $100 from $85 and kept a Neutral rating. (TipRanks) The rebound follows a sharp pullback earlier this week, a reminder of how fast sentiment can swing on the stock. Scotiabank analyst Andres Coello cut AST SpaceMobile to Sector Underperform — roughly a sell — and put a $45.60 price target on it, saying the valuation had climbed to “irrational levels” even though the company has

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:40 (EST) — Regular session Johnson & Johnson shares slipped about 0.5% to $204.76 on Friday after the company said it struck an agreement with President Donald Trump’s administration to lower drug prices for Americans in return for exemptions from U.S. tariffs.

Uber stock slides nearly 3% as CES robotaxi push puts costs back in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:42 (EST) — Regular session Uber Technologies Inc shares fell nearly 3% on Friday as CES-driven talk of driverless taxis stirred fresh debate over when the technology pays off at scale. The stock was down 2.8% at $85.16 in afternoon trade, after earlier slipping to $84.97. The move matters because Uber is one of the clearest public-market proxies for robotaxis — driverless taxi services — without betting on a single carmaker. Bigger autonomous fleets could mean more rides flowing through Uber’s app, but they also raise questions over who controls pricing and who captures the

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:31 EST — Regular session Dell Technologies shares were up 1.2% at $119.93 on Friday afternoon, after earlier touching $120 in the session. The uptick comes after a choppy stretch for the PC and server maker, with the stock down 1.31% on Thursday and marking a fourth straight session of losses, according to MarketWatch data. With the shares still well off their recent peak, investors have been looking for cleaner signals on whether Dell’s higher-end servers can cushion soft PC demand.

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:19 (EST) — Regular session Salesforce shares edged down 0.2% to $260.01 in afternoon trading on Friday after the company laid out its Spring ’26 product release, set to begin rolling out from Feb. 23. A softer U.S. jobs report also nudged rate expectations back onto the table for growth stocks. Payrolls rose 50,000 in December versus forecasts of 60,000, and the unemployment rate eased to 4.4%, the Labor Department said.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:32 EST — Regular session Carvana Co. shares climbed about 2.6% on Friday, trading at $453.95 in afternoon dealings, after a Morgan Stanley analyst lifted the firm’s bull-case view on the online used-car retailer. (TipRanks) The move matters because Carvana has been a fast trader’s stock, prone to sharp swings on analyst notes and insider-trading headlines. Even small filings can move it when positioning is crowded and the stock’s direction ties closely to rates and risk appetite. Friday’s broader tape helped. A softer-than-expected U.S. jobs report kept hopes alive that the Federal Reserve could cut
