NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 4:30 PM ET — After-hours Wall Street ended mixed on Friday, with the Dow snapping a four-day losing streak to start 2026 as chipmakers and industrials rallied, while consumer discretionary shares weighed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 311.99 points, or 0.67%, to 48,383.22; the S&P 500 added 12.52 points, or 0.18%, to 6,858.02; and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 5.30 points, or 0.02%, to 23,236.69. Recent selling also snuffed out hopes of a “Santa Claus rally” — a tendency for stocks to firm in the last five trading days of December and the first two of January — and Bank of America strategist Savita Subramanian said, “Stocks trade expensive on 18 of 20 measures.” Reuters

Tesla stock falls on delivery miss as BYD takes EV crown — what’s next for TSLA

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 4:18 PM ET — After-hours Tesla shares fell 2.3% to $439.31 in Friday’s regular session and traded between $462.42 and $435.33 after the electric-vehicle maker reported quarterly deliveries that missed estimates. Visible Alpha data showed analysts had expected 434,487 deliveries, and the annual tally left Tesla trailing China’s BYD after the expiry of a $7,500 U.S. federal EV tax credit and intensifying competition from rivals such as Volkswagen and BMW. “It’s about Optimus, Robotaxi and physical AI,” said Dennis Dick, a trader at Triple D Trading, which owns Tesla shares.
