Sydney, January 13, 2026, 21:57 AEDT — Market closed Australian shares ended Tuesday on a positive note, as the S&P/ASX 200 index climbed 0.56% to 8,808.50 points.

AMC stock in focus: New filing flags possible $150 million share sale from Feb. 2 as Citi cuts target

NEW YORK, January 13, 2026, 05:39 EST — Premarket Shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc are back in focus ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. open, following the company’s announcement of changes to its exchangeable notes that could trigger new share sales starting early February.

New York, January 13, 2026, 05:32 EST — Premarket Alibaba Group Holding Ltd’s U.S.-listed shares (BABA) grabbed attention ahead of Tuesday’s open after closing up 10.2% at $166.31 in the previous session.

SolarEdge stock steadies in premarket after 7% jump as Wall Street debates turnaround

New York, January 13, 2026, 05:27 EST — Premarket SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG.O) shares gained roughly 0.6% premarket Tuesday, trading at $35.53. The stock had surged 7.3% on Monday. (Investing.com) This shift brings the solar inverter maker back into focus for traders, who’ve seen the sector as vulnerable to interest rate changes. When borrowing costs climb, the financing of rooftop solar systems gets pricier, potentially dampening demand for the gear itself.

Nearly 300 jobs axed as Welsh energy retrofit firm Consumer Energy Solutions enters administration

London, Jan 13, 2026, 10:31 GMT Consumer Energy Solutions, an energy-efficiency contractor based in Wales, has gone into administration and stopped trading immediately, according to a company statement. The move puts nearly 300 jobs at risk across Swansea and Treorchy. (ITVX) The collapse is significant because the UK’s Energy Company Obligation programme, ECO4, supports a big chunk of retrofit projects — covering everything from insulation to heating system upgrades — and is set to continue until March 31, 2026.
