Why IREN stock is back in focus before Feb. 5 earnings

Why IREN stock is back in focus before Feb. 5 earnings

New York, Jan 24, 2026, 08:51 EST — Market closed. IREN Limited shares jumped 8.46% to close at $56.68 Friday, bouncing back after a volatile week. In after-hours trading, the stock slipped roughly 0.6%. (MarketWatch) This matters because IREN is a high-beta play straddling AI data centers and crypto-linked computing, with upcoming earnings close enough to trigger positioning moves. Its facilities handle both bitcoin mining and AI cloud services, so the stock often reacts sharply when risk sentiment changes. (Reuters) U.S. markets are closed for the weekend, so all eyes turn to Monday’s open. The key question: will flows and

MARA stock ends higher as Bitcoin steadies; CEO share-sale filing puts focus on Monday

New York, January 24, 2026, 08:52 EST — Market closed MARA Holdings shares jumped 2.1% to close Friday at $10.50, buoyed by Bitcoin’s rally late in the week. By Saturday, Bitcoin was trading around $89,400. With U.S. stock markets shut until Monday, crypto prices are grabbing the spotlight. For miners like MARA, weekend trading often sets the tone for the stock’s rebound, especially given the coin’s wild swings during the day. CEO Fred Thiel offloaded 27,505 shares at $10.80 apiece on Jan. 20, according to a regulatory filing Thursday. After the sale, he still holds 3,517,566 shares. The transaction followed

Tesla stock price near $449 as Autopilot features move to $99 FSD subscription heading into earnings week

NEW YORK, Jan 24, 2026, 07:34 (EST) — Market closed Tesla shares closed nearly flat on Friday, slipping just $0.25 to $449.06. The move came after the company shifted more of its driver-assist features to a monthly subscription model in the U.S. and Canada. This shift matters now as Tesla pushes to prove it can generate revenue from software, not just vehicle sales, amid cooling demand and tightening margins due to EV price cuts. Autonomy revenue, in particular, often drives the stock’s biggest moves. From Davos, Musk stoked the story further, claiming Tesla could secure regulatory green lights in Europe

Nu Holdings stock steadies near $18 as Brazil rate call and Fed meeting loom next week

New York, Jan 24, 2026, 07:27 EST — Market closed Nu Holdings shares closed Friday just above the flatline, up 0.2% at $18.04. After-hours saw a slight pullback to $18.00. (Yahoo Finance) With U.S. markets closed over the weekend, Monday’s focus falls squarely on the macro calendar. For a digital lender connected to Brazil’s credit cycle, any shift in rate signals can quickly change the outlook — impacting everything from funding costs to loan demand. Brazil’s central bank is set to hold the Selic benchmark rate steady at 15% during its Jan. 28 meeting, a Reuters poll shows. Citi analysts

Grab stock price: GoTo takeover snag puts GRAB back on traders’ screens before Monday

NEW YORK, January 24, 2026, 07:31 EST — The market has closed. Grab Holdings Limited shares edged up on Friday, even as new reports suggested its planned acquisition of Indonesian rival GoTo has encountered obstacles. U.S. markets remain closed over the weekend, setting up Monday’s open as the next checkpoint for how merger rumors will impact GRAB. The timing is crucial since any merger would shake up Southeast Asia’s ride-hailing and food delivery sectors—and force regulators to weigh in directly on the deal. Traders, meanwhile, are bracing for Grab’s upcoming earnings report, where the company must demonstrate clearer strides toward

Opendoor stock drops 6% to $6 as mortgage-rate bets cool; Fed meeting is next

Opendoor stock drops 6% to $6 as mortgage-rate bets cool; Fed meeting is next

New York, Jan 24, 2026, 07:27 EST — Market closed Opendoor Technologies shares dropped 6.4% on Friday, closing at $6.01 after fluctuating between $5.95 and $6.40 during the session. In after-hours trading, the stock hovered near $6.03, with roughly 63.9 million shares changing hands. (Investing.com) The pullback is significant since Opendoor has turned into a quick, rate-sensitive play: easing mortgage rates often boost housing demand, lifting stocks linked to home buying. But if rates hold steady, sentiment shifts sharply. A Reuters report late Thursday found little evidence that the administration’s $200 billion mortgage-backed bond buying program has significantly cut housing

The firm pointed to a “meaningfully improved” risk profile, noting that ANKTIVA’s momentum is expanding the narrative beyond one regulatory battle.

NEW YORK, Jan 24, 2026, 07:03 ET — Market closed Shares of Plug Power Inc dropped 3.5% on Friday, ending at $2.50.

New York, January 24, 2026, 07:06 EST — Market closed BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. shares fell 1.9% to close at $5.82 on Friday after the company filed a notice delaying a shareholder vote on raising its share count. The stock swung between $5.74 and $6.03 during the session, with about 86 million shares changing hands. The vote is attracting attention since it proposes increasing the cap on how many common shares BigBear.ai can issue.

New York, Jan 24, 2026, 07:08 EST — Markets have closed. Ondas Inc (NASDAQ: ONDS) dropped 3.5% on Friday. The decline came a day after the company submitted filings related to a possible resale of stock from its Sentry CS agreement. The shares ended the session at $12.17, with roughly 79.5 million shares traded. Timing is crucial since resale registrations can quickly shift the supply landscape. These deals don’t bring new money into the company, but they do open the door for current holders to offload shares—something traders often see as a potential overhang.

New York, Jan 24, 2026, 06:58 (EST) — Market closed Nvidia shares ended Friday at $187.67, gaining 1.5%, following reports that Chinese authorities have directed several top tech companies in the country to get ready to place orders for Nvidia’s H200 AI chip. (Bloomberg.com) U.S. markets are closed for the weekend, leaving Nvidia’s Monday open to hinge less on chip demand figures and more on policy cues from Beijing. China has been one of the toughest wildcards in the stock’s recent trading. The H200 headline is crucial since Nvidia’s investors want clear insight into the next phase of data-center demand—and

New York, January 24, 2026, 06:48 (EST) — Market closed. Intel shares closed down 17% on Friday at $45.07, after the chipmaker’s first-quarter outlook revived worries about tight supply. Nvidia rose 1.5% and Advanced Micro Devices gained 2.3% in the same session. With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, Intel is set up as a key name for Monday’s open. The move was violent enough to force a rethink on positioning, not just in Intel but in parts of the chip complex.
