NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 18:06 ET — After-hours Coinbase Global Inc shares were up about 4.6% at $236.53 in after-hours trading on Friday, after Chief Executive Brian Armstrong laid out a 2026 roadmap focused on expanding the company beyond its core crypto exchange business. The stock opened at $230.58 and traded between $226.03 and $238.47 during the session, with about 8.7 million shares changing hands.

CoreWeave stock jumps after-hours after SEC filing eases liquidity covenant

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:51 ET — After-hours CoreWeave shares rose in after-hours trading on Friday after the AI cloud provider disclosed amendments to a key credit agreement that loosen near-term covenant requirements, a filing showed. The stock was last up 10.8% at $79.32. The changes matter now because investors have been focused on how quickly heavily financed AI infrastructure companies can turn equipment deliveries into revenue and cash. Covenant tweaks can reduce the risk of a technical breach if project timing shifts. CoreWeave’s filing tied the amendment directly to delivery timing, underscoring that lenders — and shareholders —

Salesforce stock (CRM) drops 4% as 2026 opens; investors eye jobs report and next earnings

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:50 ET — After-hours Salesforce, Inc. shares were down 4.3% at $253.62 in after-hours trade on Friday, after moving between $252.49 and $267.00 during the session, according to market data. The slide put pressure on a large-cap software name that investors often use as a read on corporate IT budgets and the pace of enterprise adoption of new tools, including generative AI. It also mattered for the Dow, which is price-weighted — meaning higher-priced stocks have a bigger impact on the index than lower-priced ones. MarketWatch data showed Salesforce and Travelers were the biggest drags

Reuters The move matters because Boeing (BA.N) is one of the Dow’s most influential names, and a sharp swing in the stock can meaningfully shift the index’s daily point move.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:35 ET Shares of Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC fell 6.9% to $19.81 on Friday and swung between $23.29 and $19.67, after a regulatory disclosure highlighted a large new stake tied to a Geely-linked exit option. The disclosure matters because Polestar is leaning on fresh funding to shore up its balance sheet, and the terms attached to that capital can influence how investors value the stock.

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps after-hours on 11% preferred dividend move — what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:30 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc shares were up about 3.5% at $157.16 in after-hours trading on Friday, after a sharp session that ranged from $150.03 to $160.76. Trading volume was about 20 million shares.
