Tesla slips again heading into delivery mix test; TSLA energy gap now wider

Nasdaq trades Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Tesla’s latest price is from Friday’s session. U.S. markets will skip a day next week for the July 3 holiday. The next hurdle for Tesla is more than just hitting 400,000 deliveries in Q2. The question is whether the market keeps Tesla’s $1.43 trillion valuation when Street forecasts see 2026 vehicle numbers barely above 2025 but energy storage volumes rising faster. Barron’s puts Tesla’s market cap at $1.43 trillion with a trailing P/E of 346.89.

XRP price closing in on $1, futures trading volume dwarfs ETF inflows

Hecla Mining (NYSE:HL) heads into Monday after heavy volume and silver move

Hecla Mining Company goes into Monday without U.S. market action Sunday. The stock finished Friday with a late rally, but index-related trading made the tape hard to read. Hecla finished Friday at $15.54, up 39 cents or 2.57%. Shares traded from $15.13 to $15.98 during the session. Volume hit 112.44 million, about 604% of the 65-day average.

Altria Group (NYSE:MO) shares climb, pressuring yield spread as FDA rule draws talk on volumes

Altria Group, Inc. ended Friday’s session with a noticeable gain, raising questions for shareholders as U.S. trading closed for the weekend. It’s unclear if the move pointed to strong demand for the stock itself or if index mechanics played a role. Altria ended Friday at $73.79, gaining 58 cents or 0.79%. Shares rose every day last week from $69.12 at the June 18 close, putting the stock up about 6.8%. That left it 1.0% under its 52-week high of $74.56. Trading volume hit 15.7 million shares, which is 75% higher than the 65-day average.

Amphenol (NYSE:APH) trades steady for the week as AI data center swings loom ahead of July earnings

Amphenol Corporation barely moved for the week, but the ride was anything but quiet. Shares finished Friday at $163.72, off 0.87% for the session. The stock had hit $168.75 Monday before dropping to $156.21 on Wednesday. By week’s end, Amphenol was down 0.15% from its June 18 close, the final day before the Juneteenth holiday. Amphenol’s weekly trading range, not just Friday’s decline, stands out. The stock swung $12.54 in a week while still hovering near all-time highs, showing traders are keeping it in the AI infrastructure camp. But the price isn’t giving much room anymore.
Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) drops on volume, hurts Dow

Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) drops on volume, hurts Dow

Cisco Systems, Inc. sold off hard on Friday, dragging on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The decline stood out from the indexes, which were less clear. The slump in Cisco shares was sharp and focused. The stock dropped $5.20, or 4.37%, to $113.77. Volume was 51.64 million shares, more than twice the 65-day average of 23.89 million. Shares touched $112.86 at the low. The close leaves the stock 12.7% off its 52-week high of $130.37.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) raises prices to offset shrinking sales, iPhone margins still in question

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) raises prices to offset shrinking sales, iPhone margins still in question

Apple is pushing through the memory shock in Macs, iPads and home devices, but not in the iPhone yet. That move hits harder at checkout than it does in Apple’s overall numbers. Macs and iPads brought in $15.3 billion last quarter, making up 13.8% of revenue. The iPhone was at $57.0 billion, or 51.3% of the March-quarter total. All Wearables, Home and Accessories — including Watch, AirPods, and home devices — and categories affected by Thursday’s price change totaled $23.2 billion, or 20.9% of sales. That’s the investor focus: Apple starts with smaller hardware lines to test pricing before moving to the iPhone cycle.

Volato Group (NYSEAMERICAN:SOAR) shares spike after 13G filing shows Catheter Precision ownership

Volato Group Inc shares rallied late Friday after a new ownership filing revealed the size of the main investor in its latest private placement.

The aviation AI software company’s stock last traded at $0.23 as of 7:02 p.m. EDT, up 40.74% after hours. It ended regular hours at $0.17, up 9.99%.

Private student lenders face challenge as SAVE plan delayed and loan caps near

Private student lenders face challenge as SAVE plan delayed and loan caps near

Private student-loan lenders face a credit test going into July 1. Federal borrowing caps may steer more grad and parent loans their way, but another delay in mandatory SAVE plan exits and borrower credit data show the shift isn't just about getting more volume. Instead, lenders look set to sift borrowers by credit. After the U.S. regular session ended, SoFi Technologies was last up 3.4%. SLM Corp, which owns Sallie Mae, added 3.6%. Nelnet edged up 0.6%. Navient rose 2.8%. Combined, the four were valued at about $35 billion.
Uber (NYSE:UBER) jumps as $7.9 billion robotaxi move lands on small fleet math

Uber (NYSE:UBER) jumps as $7.9 billion robotaxi move lands on small fleet math

Uber Technologies was up $3.79 at $76.04 just before 2 p.m. EDT Friday, with the move adding about $7.9 billion in equity value from Thursday’s close on its quoted market cap. The stock’s gain outpaced SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, which traded flat, while Invesco QQQ Trust slipped 0.6%. Investors looking at Friday’s move focused less on the headline gain and more on the gap with BTIG’s estimate for Uber’s exclusive autonomous fleet in the U.S. The day’s jump in market value added up to about $39 million for each of BTIG’s estimated 200 exclusive non-Waymo robotaxis operating on Uber’s app.
XRP stays close to $1 as futures trading towers over ETF inflows

XRP stays close to $1 as futures trading towers over ETF inflows

XRP traded barely above $1 on Friday as recent selling saw the Ripple-linked token slide into the zone bulls thought the U.S. ETF bid might hold. Price was last at $1.045 around 13:08 EDT. XRP touched a low of $1.011 earlier, session high at $1.05. XRP spot ETFs pulled in $2.05 million in net inflows on June 24, according to Sosovalue data. But that’s small compared to broader volumes—CoinGlass showed $678.4 million of spot volume and $2.76 billion in futures for XRP in the same 24-hour window. ETF inflows made up about 0.3% of spot turnover and just 0.07% of futures turnover. ETF demand is there, but how big it is remains the open question for investors.

Bitcoin slips as spot ETF outflows hit BlackRock, Fidelity, $60,000 level in play

Bitcoin hovered near $60,000 Friday, moving up after a dip to the high-$58,000s earlier in the day. The price was showing $60,033, up $891 for the session, with the day's low at $58,319 and the top at $60,621. But traders focused less on the spot price and more on who was selling. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs posted $691.7 million in outflows on June 25, following $469.0 million out the day before, according to Farside Investors. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund saw $900.3 million go out over those two days, more than three-fourths of the $1.16 billion lost overall, Farside’s numbers show.
Bloom Energy falls as Russell Top 200 entry shakes up price target debate

Bloom Energy falls as Russell Top 200 entry shakes up price target debate

Bloom Energy Corporation fell 12.4% to $270.88 Friday, slashing back a jump from Thursday’s 52-week high at $351.28. The stock hit $265.11 at its session low, with 8.3 million shares changing hands as of 12:01 p.m. in New York. Bloom’s Russell index move no longer looked like much of a win as the fuel-cell firm came under pressure. Bloom shares gave up big gains from earlier this month. At midday, the stock traded about 23% lower than the high it reached just a day before. Even with the drop, Bloom was still sharply up from last year’s low of $21.52. The move spelled out risk in one of 2026’s biggest AI power trades.
