Altria Stock Rebounds Near Ex-Dividend Date as MO Investors Weigh Yield, Valuation and July Earnings

Altria Group, Inc. shares ended Friday at $71.94, up $0.53, or 0.74%, after trading between $71.14 and $72.02, with volume of about 8.41 million shares. The rebound followed a sharper Thursday decline, when MO fell 2.35% even as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average rose, a sign that tobacco-specific concerns outweighed the broader market’s strength for a day.

U.S. benchmark WTI fell 3.23% to $84.88, as markets started to consider the odds of a U.S.-Iran deal. Crude’s slump usually weighs on oil producers’ cash flow and share prices, while a higher oil price can help earnings and stocks.

Intel Stock Surges Again as AI Foundry Hopes Challenge Valuation Fears

Intel Corp. shares outperformed the broader market on Friday, closing at $124.57, up 6.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.3% and the S&P 500 gained 0.5%.

Trade Desk shares bounce after dispute with Publicis resolves, but challenges remain for TTD

The Trade Desk shares got a lift Friday, up after a new report said Publicis and the ad-tech firm settled their dispute. TTD finished at $19.28, up 2.01% for the day, on 30.63 million shares traded. That's well above its average volume of 20.95 million from Google Finance. Even so, the stock is still sitting near its 52-week low of $18.31 and far off its 52-week high of $91.45. Friday’s move hasn’t changed the broader slide.

NuScale Power Stock Rebounds Near $10 as Investors Weigh SMR Promise Against Dilution Risk

NuScale Power Corporation’s SMR shares bounced Friday, recently trading at $10.00, up 4.5% from the prior close, with a market value of about $3.19 billion. The rebound matters because the stock has been trying to stabilize after a sharp 2026 selloff: a Zacks report syndicated by TradingView said Thursday that NuScale had fallen 23% over the past month and 34.5% year to date, reflecting investor concern over timing, dilution and limited current revenue.

POET Technologies Inc. stock climbed sharply Friday, trading at $12.735, up $1.485, or about 13.2%, from the prior close, with volume above 17 million shares and an intraday range of $11.00 to $12.79. The move matters because POET has become a highly volatile Nasdaq-listed AI photonics name: buyers are betting that its optical-engine technology can move from development-stage promise to commercial scale, while sellers remain focused on lawsuits, order risk and dilution.
