Argan stock jumps nearly 14% as insiders’ filings land and dividend dates loom

Argan stock jumps nearly 14% as insiders’ filings land and dividend dates loom

New York, January 16, 2026, 11:33 ET — Regular session Argan, Inc. shares surged almost 14% on Friday, climbing $45.69 to hit $375.35 in late morning trading. The NYSE-listed contractor bounced back from an early low of $330.34, closing in on its session peak. Why it matters now: the rally arrives alongside new insider-trading disclosures, just as Argan faces a packed calendar — dividend deadlines, possible insider sales, and the typical year-end positioning for a stock that’s been volatile on sparse news. The filings alone don’t clarify Friday’s surge, but they offer fresh clues for traders tracking the stock’s momentum

Redwire stock jumps 12% as AE Industrial-linked holder discloses $150 million share sale

Redwire stock jumps 12% as AE Industrial-linked holder discloses $150 million share sale

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 11:38 EST — Regular session Redwire Corporation shares climbed on Friday, adding to a choppy run for the space and defense technology company as investors digested a fresh disclosure of large shareholder selling. The stock was up $1.32, or about 12.2%, at $12.18 in late morning trade, after swinging between $10.60 and $12.44. The move matters because Redwire’s stock has been trading like a liquidity story. When a big holder sells in size, it can add a near-term supply overhang — and just as quickly, a block can clear and shift the tone. Friday’s jump

Bank of America stock today: BAC steadies after earnings beat — the Fed is the next test

New York, January 16, 2026, 11:24 EST — Regular session Bank of America Corp shares were up 0.2% at $52.71 in late morning trade on Friday, a modest bounce after a choppy reaction to the bank’s quarterly report earlier this week. The focus now is on rates, not the headline earnings beat. Investors are already looking toward the Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting on January 27-28, which is a big input into how banks price loans and what they pay depositors.

Ford stock slips on report of BYD hybrid-battery talks as politics crowd the trade

Ford stock slips on report of BYD hybrid-battery talks as politics crowd the trade

New York, January 16, 2026, 11:13 ET — During the regular session Ford Motor shares slipped about 0.9% to $13.68 on Friday following a report that the automaker is in talks with China’s BYD over a battery supply deal for certain hybrid models. (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/F/) (https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-byd-talks-hybrid-vehicle-battery-deal-wsj-reports-2026-01-15/) The chatter matters now because Ford is pushing harder into hybrids — gas-electric models — to protect margins amid a slowdown in full electric adoption. Batteries remain a major expense even for hybrids, and securing supply deals could heavily influence pricing and production strategies. This comes at a sensitive time for manufacturers operating internationally. Any

The stock kicked off at $2.27 and fluctuated between $2.22 and $2.32 during the session. Trading volume hit around 10.4 million shares.

Constellation Software hits 52-week low: investors probe the deal-driven growth story

Constellation Software hits 52-week low: investors probe the deal-driven growth story

Toronto, January 16, 2026, 10:52 EST Constellation Software’s shares fell to a new 52-week low in Toronto trading on Wednesday, extending a steep pullback as investors questioned how long its acquisition-heavy growth model can keep compounding at a premium valuation. The stock touched C$3,001.11 and was down 6.3% at C$3,008.19 by mid-afternoon, according to market data cited by TS2.tech. (TechStock²) The drop matters because Constellation is a heavyweight on Canada’s main index and a bellwether for “buy-and-build” software companies—firms that rely on frequent deals to grow. When a stock like this slides hard, it can reset expectations for the whole

Archer Aviation stock climbs nearly 4% as unusual call options pick up; Needham sticks with Buy

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 10:30 EST — Regular session Archer Aviation Inc shares climbed roughly 4% on Friday, boosting the electric air-taxi maker’s market cap amid active options trading and sustained buzz from a recent Wall Street endorsement. The stock gained 35 cents, reaching $9.21 in morning deals. This move is crucial since Archer and its rivals remain in the early prove-it phase.

These contracts grant investors the right to buy or

TSMC stock today: Blowout earnings meet a new U.S.-Taiwan trade deal — what happens next

NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2026, 11:05 (EST) — Regular session Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited’s U.S.-listed shares climbed 0.3% to $342.50 on Friday, having peaked at $349.72 earlier in the session. This move is significant since TSMC is a key player in contract chip manufacturing, providing cutting-edge processors for devices ranging from smartphones to AI servers. Its ADRs are U.S.-traded certificates representing shares of the Taiwan-listed firm. Investors are juggling two big factors: a spending surge driven by AI demand, and a new trade policy tying tariffs to the location of chip manufacturing. TSMC reported Thursday a Q4 net income

Super Micro (SMCI) stock jumps on ‘dirt cheap’ valuation buzz even as margin fears linger

Super Micro (SMCI) stock jumps on ‘dirt cheap’ valuation buzz even as margin fears linger

NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2026, 10:52 (EST) Shares of Super Micro Computer gained roughly 6% in early trading Friday, building on a volatile rally for the AI server specialist following a wave of upbeat analyst remarks. This matters because Super Micro has turned into a proxy battle for AI infrastructure. Demand appears robust, yet investors remain uncertain about how much profit will follow. A wave of recent downgrades has shifted the focus sharply onto margins, not just top-line growth. Investor notes released this week highlight that the stock appears undervalued by typical metrics, though concerns linger over execution and pricing

American Airlines stock slides as United rivalry at O’Hare sharpens — what to watch next

New York, January 16, 2026, 10:20 EST — Regular session Shares of American Airlines Group Inc dropped roughly 1% on Friday as investors weighed a tougher battle with United Airlines at Chicago’s O’Hare. The hub’s capacity, gate availability, and corporate contracts remain key factors that could shift pricing power. Timing is crucial. Airlines are pushing premium seating and loyalty programs to keep profits steady, but contested hubs can quickly turn that approach into a race to the bottom on prices. American is treating Chicago as a proving ground. The airline is working to rebuild its presence there just as the
