Grab Stock Bounces While Nasdaq Sags—What Traders Are Waiting For Next

Grab Holdings (GRAB) Trades Near 52-Week Low as Q2 Results, Taiwan Deal Awaited

Grab Holdings Limited shares slipped again in U.S. trade, with the Nasdaq-listed superapp finishing the session at $3.30, off 1.49%. That keeps Grab near its 52-week low of $3.18. The stock has traded between $3.18 and $6.62 over the past year. Grab is still priced near half its yearly high, despite better numbers and improving profit in its last quarter. Grab’s numbers for Q1 2026 were solid across the board. Revenue came in at $955 million, rising 24% from a year ago. On-Demand GMV was $6.1 billion, also up 24%. Profit hit $120 million for the quarter, and adjusted EBITDA rose 46% to $154 million. GMV is the full value of transactions on the platform. Adjusted EBITDA, which isn’t IFRS, leaves out interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and some one-offs. “We set out to start 2026 strongly, and we delivered,” CEO Anthony Tan said in his prepared comments.

Javice Requests Trump Pardon After JPMorgan Fraud Conviction

Javice Requests Trump Pardon After JPMorgan Fraud Conviction

Frank founder Charlie Javice has been looking for a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump after her conviction for defrauding JPMorgan Chase in its $175 million Frank acquisition, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing people familiar. Seeking Alpha flagged the story to investors, saying Javice was seeking clemency following the conviction. The push for a pardon injects politics into the high-profile startup-fraud case. The Wall Street Journal said Javice hasn't shown up on the Justice Department’s official pardon list, as the Trump team reviews clemency pleas ahead of the U.S.’s 250th birthday. The Justice Department’s clemency page still shows previous Trump-era pardons and commutations for white-collar and financial crimes but doesn’t mention Javice.

Tesla Holds Above $400 as SpaceX Rally Fades and Robotaxi Bets Grow

Tesla Holds Above $400 as SpaceX Rally Fades and Robotaxi Bets Grow

Tesla, Inc. shares wrapped the week above $400, ending Friday at $406.43, up $7.28 or 1.8%. Volume hit about 63.7 million shares, putting Tesla’s value near $1.44 trillion. Broader indexes moved higher too: the Dow rose 0.7%, S&P 500 was up 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.3% as traders looked to SpaceX’s upcoming public-market debut and watched for less pressure on oil from geopolitics. Tesla’s stock climb is getting noticed as the company is priced less like a carmaker and more like an AI and robotics play. Reuters said SpaceX stole the spotlight on its first trading day, with shares jumping 19.2% to $160.95, and Tesla also finishing up. The so-called “Musk premium” can boost Tesla when investors are into Musk’s tech scene, but it also means money and focus could shift out of Tesla if SpaceX looks like the cleaner Musk bet.

Bitcoin Hits $64,000 as Cuban’s Past Comments Circulate

Bitcoin Hits $64,000 as Cuban’s Past Comments Circulate

Mark Cuban is facing fresh scrutiny for changing his tune on Bitcoin after new crypto coverage compared his earlier advice to take a small bet with his latest criticism. In a June 11 Benzinga piece picked up by Yahoo Finance, Cuban’s 2017 statements about putting a little money in digital assets were set against his newer views that Bitcoin didn’t act as the hedge he once thought. Background is relevant since Cuban didn’t pitch Bitcoin as a safe bet. In a 2017 Vanity Fair video, he told risk-tolerant investors they could put a little cash in Bitcoin or Ethereum, but to act as if the money was already lost. “You’ve gotta pretend you’ve already lost your money,” he said, likening crypto to collectibles that only trade for what someone else will pay.

Social Security 2027 COLA Estimate Moves Up; Congress Eyes $200 Raise

Social Security 2027 COLA Estimate Moves Up; Congress Eyes $200 Raise

Social Security beneficiaries are seeing stronger inflation at a time when early estimates for next year’s cost-of-living bump are creeping up. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, the figure that drives Social Security and SSI benefit hikes, was up 4.4% over the year in May, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. The Senior Citizens League is now calling for a 3.8% Social Security cost-of-living adjustment in 2027, higher than the 2.8% bump beneficiaries get for 2026. Another forecast from independent analyst Mary Johnson sees a 4.7% hike for 2027. That would add close to $98 a month for the average retired worker, if her estimate proves right.

ARK Loads Up on SpaceX Post-IPO, Trims Teradyne, Iridium, Archer

ARK Loads Up on SpaceX Post-IPO, Trims Teradyne, Iridium, Archer

ARK Invest, run by Cathie Wood, ramped up buying in SpaceX after the Elon Musk company started trading publicly, shifting a week of portfolio selling into a new bet on a headline IPO. Investor’s Business Daily said ARK snapped up almost 3.3 million SpaceX shares on the first day. Reuters said SpaceX stock surged 19% in its Nasdaq debut, following a record $75 billion IPO. SpaceX closed Friday at $160.95 per share, which values the company near $2.1 trillion, Reuters said. That puts it at number six among U.S. companies by market cap. The debut was enough to push Musk’s net worth into the trillions on paper as investors bought into a story built on rockets, satellites, and AI. Reuters pointed out that SpaceX isn’t profitable.

Constellation Energy Stock Rebounds as AI Power Demand Meets a June Share-Supply Test

Constellation Energy Stock Rebounds as AI Power Demand Meets a June Share-Supply Test

Constellation Energy Corporation’s stock ended Friday at $253.76, up 2.86%, giving the Nasdaq-listed power producer a second straight daily gain and a stronger move than the broader market. The rally matters because CEG has been trying to stabilize after a sharp pullback: even after Friday’s advance, the stock was still 38.51% below its 52-week high of $412.70, according to MarketWatch. The S&P 500 rose 0.50% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.70% in the same session. The latest company news supports the bull case that Constellation is still investing behind reliable, around-the-clock power supply. On June 9, the company said its Limerick Clean Energy Center completed a refueling and maintenance outage that included $90 million of investment, cooling-tower performance upgrades and generator component replacements designed to position the unit for the next 24 months. Limerick site vice president Marty Bonifanti said the outage work would allow Unit 1 to “continue to deliver dependable, emissions-free electricity for decades to come.”

Morgan Stanley Stock Approaches Year High Amid SpaceX IPO Talk

Morgan Stanley Stock Approaches Year High Amid SpaceX IPO Talk

Morgan Stanley shares ended higher on Friday as renewed interest in Wall Street banks and the SpaceX IPO pushed up the sector. The stock finished at $214.04, a 0.65% gain. It moved to $214.40 in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance. Morgan Stanley’s price sits close to its 52-week high of $219.16. The firm’s market cap is roughly $337.6 billion. The P/E ratio stands at 19.39, a common valuation measure comparing share price to earnings per share. Morgan Stanley’s results move shares because the bank’s earnings rely on capital markets, with investment banking, trading, and wealth management key for revenue. Stocks gained Friday. The Dow added 0.7%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.5%, and the Nasdaq rose 0.3%, as SpaceX’s IPO took center stage. SpaceX sold shares at $135, started trading at $150 and ended above $160, raising $75 billion. Investopedia called it the largest IPO ever.

• Energy Transfer LP ended Friday up 1.65% at $19.07, breaking a five-session slide.

Pfizer trades around $26 with dividend in focus, drug-price worries linger

Pfizer Inc. closed Friday at $26.21, up 4 cents. About 38.77 million shares changed hands. Market cap came in near $149.38 billion. Gains were small against the major indexes. The S&P 500 added 0.5%, Dow rose 0.7%, and Nasdaq was up 0.3%. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF dropped 0.18%. Pfizer still outperformed its sector benchmark. Drug pricing in Europe is back in focus for investors. Germany’s health minister, Nina Warken, said drug companies won’t be left out of upcoming cost cuts, telling reporters, “Every sector must play its part in this reform.” That comment came after a Reuters story said Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told Chancellor Friedrich Merz the company is “reviewing our external engagements as well as the timing, scope and future prioritization” of some planned investments in Germany. For stocks, the story is simple: shares go up on hopes for better profits or less risk, and drop when rules, failed trials, or weaker pricing hit cash flow.

P&G Shares Edge Up After Bernstein Starts Coverage, Sets $156 Target

P&G Shares Edge Up After Bernstein Starts Coverage, Sets $156 Target

Procter & Gamble closed out the week at $149.61, gaining 0.86% on the day. Shares ticked up to $149.70 after hours. U.S. stocks ended higher Friday, with the S&P 500 advancing 0.50% and the Dow up 0.70%. Defensive consumer-staples like Procter & Gamble joined the market move. Bernstein SocGen Group started coverage on P&G, giving the stock a Market Perform rating and setting a $156 price target. That target sits only around 4% above where P&G closed Friday. The move casts the stock’s recent bounce as less of a rerating and more about valuation controls. Bernstein is looking for low single-digit organic sales growth—excluding FX, deals and spinoffs—driven by Beauty, but warns about rising private-label pressure in bathroom tissue and tighter diaper competition from smaller brands.

Starbucks Stock Price Nears 52-Week High as Turnaround Rally Faces a Valuation Test

Starbucks Stock Price Nears 52-Week High as Turnaround Rally Faces a Valuation Test

Starbucks Corporation’s Nasdaq-listed shares ended the week with fresh momentum, closing Friday at $103.04, up $0.76, or 0.74%, before slipping to $102.62 in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance market data. The move left the stock roughly 5% below its 52-week high of $108.88, with a market value of about $117.4 billion and a trailing price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E ratio, of 78.64; P/E measures how much investors are paying for each dollar of a company’s past earnings. The latest price action matters because Starbucks is no longer trading like a deeply out-of-favor turnaround story. Friday’s gain followed a stronger Thursday session, when market data cited by MarketWatch showed Starbucks rising 3.56%, and investors now appear to be pricing in meaningful progress under CEO Brian Niccol’s “Back to Starbucks” plan. That raises the bar for the next earnings update: a stock near a one-year high can keep climbing if sales and margins improve together, but it can also fall quickly if the recovery looks uneven.

PayPal Stock Near $41 as July Earnings Loom After Market Rally

PayPal Stock Near $41 as July Earnings Loom After Market Rally

PayPal Holdings, Inc. shares edged higher on Friday, with PYPL closing at $41.53, up 0.7%, according to the company’s stock information page. The move came in a firmer market: the S&P 500 rose 0.5%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.3%, according to AP’s market recap. MarketWatch’s payments-sector roundup also showed PayPal rising alongside peers including Fidelity National Information Services and Fiserv. The stock move matters because PayPal remains priced like a turnaround rather than a growth leader. PYPL recently traded near $41, not far above its 52-week low of $38.46 and far below its 52-week high of $79.50, while its price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E ratio — the share price divided by earnings per share — is about 7.8. A low P/E can signal value, but it can also mean investors doubt future earnings quality or growth durability.

Accenture Stock Rebounds Before Q3 Earnings as AI Growth Test Looms for ACN

Accenture plc shares regained ground Friday, with ACN rising 1.65% to close at $170.28, outperforming the broader market as the S&P 500 added 0.50% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.70%. The move mattered because it broke a five-day losing streak, but it did not erase the bigger damage: the stock remains roughly 46% below its 52-week high, leaving investors focused on whether the recent weakness is a buying opportunity or a warning about slower demand for consulting and IT services. The immediate catalyst is clear. Accenture has scheduled its third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call for Thursday, June 18, at 8:00 a.m. EDT, with the earnings release due before the call. MarketBeat reported this week that analysts expect Q3 earnings of $3.70 per share on revenue of about $18.77 billion, making revenue growth, bookings and commentary on client spending the key numbers for ACN’s next stock move.

SPCX Remains Above IPO Price After Trading Opens; Investors Look to Options and Indexes

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. grabbed attention among new listings after its blockbuster IPO. The company set SPCX at $135 a share, bringing in $75 billion.

Shares jumped on the first day, sending the company's market cap above $2 trillion while trading. Nasdaq noted the debut, saying SPCX listed on the exchange on June 12. Reuters has the details.

US Stock Market Today After Hours: S&P 500, Dow Rise as SpaceX Debut and Oil Slide Lift Wall Street

US Stock Market Today After Hours: S&P 500, Dow Rise as SpaceX Debut and Oil Slide Lift Wall Street

U.S. stocks held a firmer tone after Friday’s close, with exchange-traded funds — stock-like baskets that track indexes and can trade after the closing bell — showing the rally largely intact in late post-market activity. The move followed a higher regular session, as the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq all advanced after oil prices fell and risk appetite improved. The day’s price action mattered because investors were responding to two market-sensitive forces at once: lower energy prices and renewed enthusiasm for high-growth technology. Reuters reported that hopes for a U.S.-Iran peace deal helped pressure oil prices, easing fears that energy-driven inflation would force interest rates higher. Lower inflation risk can support stock valuations because it reduces the pressure on corporate costs and on the discount rates investors use to value future earnings.

Nvidia Gets AI Approval From Apple But Shares Stay Flat

Nvidia Market Cap Hovers Near $5 Trillion; Vera China Launch and Blackwell Score Spotlight AI Demand Again

Nvidia shares ended Friday flat, closing at $205.19, up just 0.16%. The stock moved between $203.44 and $207.07 during the session. Compared with the S&P 500’s 0.5% rise and the Nasdaq Composite’s 0.3% gain, Nvidia's slight gain shows investors still weighing strong AI demand signals and a valuation that bakes in years of fast growth. AI infrastructure funding helped the bull story Thursday. Reuters said a KKR group started Helix Digital Infrastructure with $10 billion in backing. Nvidia and Vistra are anchor investors; Nvidia will provide know-how on AI data centers, and Vistra is expected to supply power. Helix CEO Adam Selipsky, who ran AWS before, said, “Large users of digital infrastructure have an urgent need to reduce complexity and unlock new capacity.” This could matter for Nvidia shares, since AI chips only drive revenue when customers get data centers, power, and financing at scale.

West Marine to Shut 59 Stores Amid Bankruptcy; Execs Got Bonuses

West Marine’s bankruptcy is drawing new attention after the retailer said it will shut down 59 stores. According to court filings, insiders got bonuses ahead of the Chapter 11 move. West Marine filed for Chapter 11 on May 17 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, saying it had a restructuring support deal with key lenders and equity owners. West Marine is shutting stores in 23 states, Powerboat News reported, citing court filings from June 1. Florida gets the hardest hit with eight closures, Michigan loses six, and both California and Washington will each see five stores go. Both Maine stores—Portland and Southwest Harbor—are listed for closure, so Maine will have none left.

Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite firm raised $75 billion—more than twice what Saudi Aramco pulled in with its 2019 IPO, according to Reuters. Stock closed a little above $161 after being priced at $135. SpaceX started trading as one of the most valuable public companies in the U.S., AP reported. Shares opened at $150, touched nearly $168 and closed just over $161. That price puts the company’s value at around $2.1 trillion, and lifts Musk’s estimated net worth past $1 trillion.

  • Circle Drops 15% After Open USD Stablecoin Reveal, Revenue Model in Focus
    June 30, 2026, 1:44 PM EDT. Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) dropped 15% to $64.55 after news hit about Open USD, a stablecoin from a group including Visa, Mastercard and Coinbase. Open USD brings free minting and redemption, no caps on volume, and a plan to split reserve earnings with partners-unlike Circle's USDC. The change put pressure on Circle's valuation, at about 23 cents for every USDC issued, with investors eyeing how reserve income gets distributed. BNY Mellon (NYSE:BNY) added more USDC custody, showing steady institutional demand but also more rivals in the space. Stablecoin issuers slid while payment networks and ETFs traded up. Circle logged $694 million in revenue and reserve income for Q1, with high costs keeping investors alert to shifts in stablecoin economics.
