AMD Stock Set for Early Test After Nvidia Move

AMD Stock Set for Early Test After Nvidia Move

AMD shares dropped premarket Monday as Nvidia made a move at Computex to get more serious about PC chips. AMD has battled Intel for a long time in that segment, betting AI might give it a new growth push. AMD traded at $496.50 before the bell, off 3.8%, as of 6:59 a.m. EDT, MarketScreener showed. Shares finished at $516.10 on Friday. The stock is still up around 141% this year on the back of a sharp AI-driven rerating.
Snap Faces Monday at $5.71: Ad Recovery Momentum in Focus

Snap Faces Monday at $5.71: Ad Recovery Momentum in Focus

Snap Inc. stock stayed at $5.71 ahead of Monday’s U.S. trade after sliding 3.4% Friday. That drop came as big U.S. indexes posted gains. The shares traded at $5.71 as of 10:31 UTC, according to market data. Monday is a normal NYSE session, not a holiday, and marks the first regular day after the stock snapped its six-day run higher. Regular trading is set for 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, according to the NYSE schedule. June 1 isn’t on the 2026 holiday list.

Micron stock slides before the bell as S&P 100 move and earnings loom

Micron’s $1 Trillion AI Push Puts Pressure on Samsung

Micron Technology traded at $971 ahead of Monday’s U.S. open, as the Nasdaq name continued to ride the AI boom with a market cap around $1.11 trillion. Regular Nasdaq trading runs 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. Nasdaq’s holiday schedule for 2026 doesn’t list June 1 as a market holiday. Micron’s rally has caught attention as investors are starting to treat the stock less like a typical memory cycle play. Now it’s become a way to get exposure to AI server demand, as high-bandwidth memory, or HBM — the stacked chips key for AI processors — is in tight supply.
Rocket Lab Stock Cools After Rally. Traders Eye Next Steps.

Rocket Lab Stock Cools After Rally. Traders Eye Next Steps.

Rocket Lab shares held their May gains coming into the week, though the move higher saw a setback. The stock dropped 3.1% Friday, giving up ground after a Blue Origin rocket test explosion raised some new nerves for space stocks. Rocket Lab closed at $143.48 on Nasdaq. That’s relevant with Rocket Lab, which has been acting like a favored space-infrastructure play in the market. Shares that rally hard can slide even on indirect news. Investors watching Rocket Lab have to weigh launch risk, valuation, and if the company might issue more stock ahead.
D-Wave Quantum: QBTS in Focus After $100 Million Funding Round

D-Wave Quantum: QBTS in Focus After $100 Million Funding Round

D-Wave Quantum Inc. shares trade close to $30 as June kicks off. The stock saw swings in a holiday-shortened week. Investors look ahead to Monday’s investor day, waiting for new details on a proposed U.S. government investment. D-Wave is trying to use its funding rally to make a bigger pitch for valuation. The New York Stock Exchange lists Memorial Day, May 25, as a market holiday for 2026. Its main session goes from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, so Friday's close is the last full session before the holiday.
Pfizer Stock Had a Quiet Week. Its Cancer Pipeline Just Got Loud

Pfizer Stock Had a Quiet Week. Its Cancer Pipeline Just Got Loud

Pfizer Inc. heads into Monday’s open with investors facing a heavier cancer-drug news tape than its stock price showed last week, after fresh oncology data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting and a China partnership worth up to $10.5 billion. The timing matters. U.S. trading was shut Sunday, and the previous week was shortened by the Memorial Day closure on Monday; the NYSE’s core session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. That leaves Monday as the first full market test for most of the weekend ASCO data.

Pinterest Shares Top $20; June Outlook in Focus

Pinterest Shares Top $20; June Outlook in Focus

Pinterest Inc. kicked off June trading with its stock climbing above $20, even after a holiday-shortened week. But a steep fall on Friday has investors cautious about what’s next. U.S. cash markets didn’t open Sunday, following a shortened four-day week after the New York Stock Exchange closed for Memorial Day. Normal NYSE core hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern on standard trading days.

Full Truck Alliance Traded 96 Million Shares Friday With YMM in the Spotlight Before Monday

Full Truck Alliance Traded 96 Million Shares Friday With YMM in the Spotlight Before Monday

Full Truck Alliance Co. Ltd. ADRs are coming into the week after a pickup in volume and a test up ahead. Shares finished Friday at $8.82, off 0.3%. Turnover reached 96.3 million shares. For the holiday-shortened week, the stock gained about 5.5% from last Friday’s $8.36. Timing played a part. U.S. markets closed Monday, May 25 for Memorial Day, and with NYSE core hours set at 9:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern, investors got just four sessions to trade on the Chinese digital freight platform’s Q1 numbers and forecast before the weekend.

SoundHound AI Stock Fell After Record Revenue. Cash Burn Is What Spooked Wall Street

SoundHound AI Stock Just Jumped. Monday May Tell If The Rally Has Legs

SoundHound AI Inc closed out a holiday-shortened week with a sharp move higher, rising 5.14% on Friday to $9.00 and finishing just over 10% above its May 22 close. Volume rose to about 40.6 million shares, well above the levels seen earlier in the week. The timing matters. U.S. stock trading is shut on Sunday, and Nasdaq’s regular session runs Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The prior week was also shortened by the Memorial Day closure on May 25, leaving traders four sessions to reset positions before Monday’s open.

Redwire Shares Jump 40% in Four Days — Eyes on Monday

Redwire Corp is set to open Monday in New York after a volatile run last week, with traders looking to protect a 40.5% jump from the previous Friday. Shares of the space stock fell 5.14% on Friday, closing at $24.57. That’s still up from $17.49 at the May 22 close. Trading was choppy on a thin setup. The New York Stock Exchange shows Memorial Day, May 25, as a market holiday in 2026, and stocks trade there from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. That left investors with just four normal sessions last week before the long weekend.
Palantir Stock Rallies the Most in a Year as Another Test Nears

Palantir Stock Rallies the Most in a Year as Another Test Nears

Palantir Technologies finished Friday at $156.54, gaining 9.2% and logging its best session in over a year. The closing price pushed its market cap close to $402 billion, with a price-to-earnings ratio around 176, according to market data. Sunday trading isn’t an option. The New York Stock Exchange shuts down for the weekend, with normal hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern on weekdays.
SoFi Stock Surges 17%, Monday Next Test for SoFi Technologies

SoFi Stock Surges 17%, Monday Next Test for SoFi Technologies

SoFi Technologies shares jumped 7.9% on Friday, closing out a short trading week with a 17% gain as investors came back to the digital bank following its stablecoin launch. That was the stock’s second-strongest week of 2026, according to Barron’s. U.S. stocks didn’t trade Sunday, with markets set to reopen Monday at 9:30 a.m. Eastern after the Memorial Day break trimmed last week to four sessions. Now, traders have to figure out if Friday was the start of a bigger reset or just a quick spike in a volatile fintech stock.

Exxon Texas Vote Faces $160 Oil Warning While Hormuz Talks Stall

Exxon Texas Vote Faces $160 Oil Warning While Hormuz Talks Stall

Exxon Mobil senior vice president Neil Chapman told a Bernstein investor conference that crude prices could spike to $150-$160 a barrel in just weeks if global inventories drop to minimum levels. The warning adds pressure to the oil market, even as futures slipped on hopes for a U.S.-Iran ceasefire. “We’re approaching unheard of inventory levels,” Chapman said. Once stocks hit the bottom, prices can “shoot up.” Traders right now are betting on a diplomatic exit, but executives keep watching real oil flows. Brent crude finished Friday at $92.05 and U.S. West Texas Intermediate at $87.36 a barrel. Reuters said the U.S.-Iran deal wasn’t done yet, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is still much lower than before the war. “I’m surprised prices aren’t higher,” said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said low inventories are still key, even with all the focus on the deal.

Cisco Shares Hit Record Close — What’s Ahead for CSCO Next Week

Cisco Shares Hit Record Close — What’s Ahead for CSCO Next Week

Cisco Systems shares closed the Memorial Day week at $120.42, up 1.5% Friday. The stock touched $121.43 on the day, ending the week at a record as U.S. equity markets headed into a holiday weekend. U.S. stock markets are open Monday through Friday, except on holidays. Cisco didn’t climb in a straight line. The stock finished at $120.41 on May 22 and edged up just one cent to $120.42 by May 29. Shares slipped Tuesday and Thursday before bouncing back to close higher on Friday. Trading volume on Friday hit 42.18 million shares, topping the stock’s typical daily pace, according to market data.
Adobe stock jumps as Wall Street fixates on AI recurring revenue ahead of earnings

Adobe Stock Moves Higher After AI Struggles; Wall Street Sets Sights on Monday

Adobe Inc. rallied Friday, finishing 7.36% higher at $259.21 and erasing the week’s earlier losses. The stock ended the four-session week up about 5.9%. U.S. markets were closed Monday for Memorial Day. Volume on Friday beat the prior three sessions. Adobe is showing how investors are divided on software and AI this year. The stock has dropped as concerns built that generative AI could hurt pricing power for Adobe, since the tech can create images, text, and video from prompts. But on Friday, some buyers appeared to be coming back, weighing if AI might boost demand rather than only drag on it.
Glencore Shares Watch Monday Catalyst With Rio Tinto in Focus

Glencore Shares Watch Monday Catalyst With Rio Tinto in Focus

Glencore will start the week with some relief on costs. South Africa’s energy regulator okayed a temporary discounted power rate for a ferrochrome joint venture with Merafe Resources. The move was announced late Friday after London markets had finished trading. London-listed Glencore finished Friday at 567.80 pence, off 5.8 pence from Thursday's 573.60 pence. That still leaves shares barely under their May 22 closing level of 569.10 pence. The London Stock Exchange stayed closed Monday for the Spring Bank Holiday and does not open Saturdays, so investors will react to the South African tariff move next session.
HSBC Shares Hover Near Recent Highs as Market Eyes Week Ahead

HSBC Shares Hover Near Recent Highs as Market Eyes Week Ahead

HSBC Holdings Plc’s shares in London finished Friday at 1,393.60 pence, up 0.91%, with the stock hovering near its high from late May before markets closed for the weekend. The Hong Kong shares settled at HK$145.10, down HK$0.20. New York ADRs ended at $93.74, gaining $0.79, according to the bank’s investor page. HSBC ended the shortened London trading week up roughly 1.4% from last Friday’s close, according to daily prices. The London Stock Exchange was closed Monday for the Spring Bank Holiday, leaving just four trading sessions. That follows a recovery after HSBC’s early-May selloff.
FTSE 100 Eyes June After Securing Second Straight Monthly Gain

FTSE 100 Eyes June After Securing Second Straight Monthly Gain

UK stocks booked a second straight monthly gain in May, but June could be tricky with UK data, Bank of England rate bets and uncertainty around the U.S.-Iran ceasefire still in play. The London Stock Exchange was closed for Spring Bank Holiday Monday, so this week’s trading was already short before Saturday’s usual shutdown. That’s important now as gains lately have come from relief more than earnings. Falling oil prices cooled some inflation worries, and mid-cap UK stocks bounced after weeks of concern over UK growth, politics and borrowing costs.
Intel Shares Drop Even as Tech Climbs—AI Trade Not Enough

Intel Shares Drop Even as Tech Climbs—AI Trade Not Enough

Intel Corp. shares slid roughly 5% on Friday, underperforming the broader market’s record highs. Investors showed little reaction to new signs of demand for the chipmaker’s advanced packaging tech, turning their focus to Intel’s valuation following its rapid AI-driven rally. The stock was last at $114.68, off $6.16 from its last close. Shares moved in a wide range, hitting $113.67 at the low and $126.49 at the high. More than 191 million shares changed hands.

Amazon Drops With S&P 500 at Record as $6 Billion AWS Deal Draws Focus

Amazon Drops With S&P 500 at Record as $6 Billion AWS Deal Draws Focus

Amazon.com dropped 1.2% to $270.64 late Friday in New York, trailing as Wall Street hit new highs. Amazon Web Services brought in new demand with a fresh deal from Snowflake, but the shares still slipped. The last price left Amazon’s market cap around $2.94 trillion. AI names kept getting bid with the main indexes at new all-time highs. Reuters said the S&P 500 gained 0.21%, Nasdaq added 0.20%, and the Dow closed up 0.72%. Ohsung Kwon, chief equity strategist at Wells Fargo, described a “euphoric sentiment in the market around AI,” adding that earnings were the big push for the move.
