New York, Jan 11, 2026, 07:24 EST — Market closed. NIO Inc’s U.S.-listed shares (NIO.N) dropped 1.9% to $4.64 on Friday, marking a second day of losses despite the S&P 500 closing higher. The stock ended about $2.11 under its 52-week high of $6.75 and roughly 13 cents above its low of $4.51. Trading volume was below recent averages, according to MarketWatch data. (MarketWatch) U.S. markets were closed Sunday, leaving investors to start the week facing familiar doubts about Chinese electric-vehicle makers: just how deep will discounts in China need to get, and to what extent does the growth rely

SoFi stock: what to watch before Monday after SEC filing and ahead of Jan. 30 earnings

New York, January 11, 2026, 07:08 EST — Market closed. Shares of SoFi Technologies slipped 1.1% to close at $27.40 on Friday, as investors digested a recent update on the company’s top legal team. The Nasdaq-traded fintech swung between $27.25 and $28.37 during the session, with around 44 million shares traded. This is key now since the stock has been trading as if it’s tied to interest rates: macro data shifts bond yields, which in turn influence lender valuations. Next week, fresh inflation figures drop alongside a steady stream of earnings reports. With SoFi’s own earnings on the horizon, expect

IREN stock on watch Monday after Bernstein calls it a “top AI pick” as crypto traders eye CPI

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 07:11 EST — Market closed IREN Limited enters Monday’s session after Bernstein named the Nasdaq-listed bitcoin miner and AI cloud operator its “top AI pick” in a 2026 crypto outlook. Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani recommended investors “start 2026 by buying stocks on the dip,” citing a potential “tokenization supercycle” — where dollars and securities become tradable blockchain tokens — as a key driver for the next phase of crypto demand, TipRanks reported. (TipRanks) IREN closed Friday up 0.7% at $46.03, after swinging between $45.52 and $49.995 on volume of roughly 41.3 million shares. Bitcoin hovered

SoundHound AI stock jumps 7% ahead of Monday as CES demos and TomTom tie-up keep SOUN in focus

SoundHound AI stock jumps 7% ahead of Monday as CES demos and TomTom tie-up keep SOUN in focus

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 07:23 (EST) — The market has closed. Shares of SoundHound AI, Inc surged 6.7% on Friday, closing at $11.75 after roughly 39.3 million shares changed hands. The rally faces its true test once U.S. markets open Monday. SoundHound’s market cap hovers around $4.9 billion, placing it in a corner of the AI sector known for rapid capital shifts. This volatility leaves the stock highly reactive to news—and just as vulnerable when it goes quiet. (Yahoo Finance) Why it matters now: CES 2026 ended after four days in Las Vegas, and this week marks the crunch

AGNC stock rises on Trump’s $200B mortgage-bond push — what to watch before Monday

AGNC stock rises on Trump’s $200B mortgage-bond push — what to watch before Monday

New York, January 11, 2026, 07:20 EST — Market closed. AGNC Investment Corp (AGNC.O) shares rose nearly 2% on Friday and closed at $11.41, with about 38.5 million shares changing hands. U.S. markets are shut on Sunday and reopen on Monday. The move matters for AGNC because it is an agency mortgage REIT: it owns agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), bonds built from pools of home loans with government backing, and funds them largely with short-term borrowing. When the market reprices mortgage bonds higher, it can lift a REIT’s “book value” — the net value of assets minus liabilities — and

D-Wave Quantum stock slides 4% into weekend — what QBTS traders watch before Monday

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 07:08 EST — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc. shares closed Friday around 4% lower at $28.11, wrapping up a volatile week for the quantum computing firm. The stock fluctuated between $31.14 and $28.07 during the session, with roughly 46.7 million shares traded. Investors will face a fresh deal timetable come Monday. (Yahoo Finance) The pullback is significant because D-Wave’s strategy is shifting beyond just marketing quantum services. The firm now aims to expand its focus from “quantum annealing”—a niche method typically applied to optimization problems—toward gate-model machines, the architecture most competitors target for a wider

Compass stock jumps on Anywhere deal close and $1 billion convert — what to watch next week

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 07:01 EST — Market closed. Compass, Inc. shares jumped 4.7% on Friday, closing at $12.84, following the brokerage’s announcement that it had finalized its all-stock merger with Anywhere Real Estate. CEO Robert Reffkin highlighted the deal’s potential to unite “the industry’s most respected brands and professionals” under “a single, modern technology platform.” (Investing.com) The closing is crucial—it shifts Compass from discussing deals to actually delivering results. Investors now face the task of valuing a far larger platform, along with the financing that supports it, all while brokerage revenue remains tied to U.S. home-sale volume and

UWMC stock jumps as Trump mortgage-bond order lifts lenders; what UWM investors watch next week

New York, January 11, 2026, 06:56 EST — Market closed Shares of UWM Holdings Corp (UWMC) jumped almost 14% on Friday following President Donald Trump’s order for a $200 billion buy of mortgage-backed securities. The announcement sent mortgage lenders sharply higher. U.S. markets are closed for the weekend, so Monday’s open will be the real test: will the housing-driven rally hold, or will it fade as the initial headlines lose steam? UWM faces straightforward pressure. High borrowing costs have limited mortgage originations, and the company’s earnings fluctuate with both loan volume and the margins earned from selling mortgages in the

American Airlines stock to watch Monday after Susquehanna turns bullish; CPI and earnings ahead

New York, January 11, 2026, 06:23 (EST) — Market closed American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O) shares will be watched when U.S. trading resumes on Monday after data provider Fintel reported Susquehanna upgraded its view on the carrier to “Positive” from “Neutral” late on Friday. The stock rose 27 cents, or about 1.7%, to close at $15.99. (Nasdaq) The timing matters because airlines are headed into a tight run of fourth-quarter results, with investors still testing whether operational snarls ease as the FAA and carriers work through air traffic control staffing strains. The FAA said in November it would halve required

Tesla stock rebounds to $445 as autonomy stakes rise; CPI and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 06:07 (EST) — Market closed. Tesla (TSLA) shares gained 2.1% on Friday, ending the day at $445.01. The stock swung between a low of $430.39 and a high of $449.05 during the session. U.S. markets will be closed Sunday, with trading resuming Monday. (Yahoo Finance) Two main factors are driving the action: interest rates and autonomy. Tesla behaves like a long-duration growth stock, meaning even slight changes in risk appetite can quickly impact its price. The U.S. jobs report on Friday came in softer than expected, fueling bets on future rate cuts. Nonfarm payrolls increased

New York, January 11, 2026, 06:15 EST — Market closed. Kenvue Inc shares slipped about 1% on Friday to close at $16.83, with volume of about 57.5 million shares, Nasdaq data showed. The stock finished the week still trading below the value implied by Kimberly-Clark’s agreed buyout. (Nasdaq) The market is shut on Sunday, but KVUE is being traded like a deal stock now.

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 06:12 ET — Market closed Shares of Archer Aviation Inc climbed for the second day in a row on Friday, gaining 1.15% to close at $8.81. The uptick followed the company’s announcement of a new technology collaboration with Nvidia. (Investing.com) This move counts because Archer operates in a market driven by milestones. Investors demand clear evidence that electric air taxis are advancing toward certification and actual flights, not just polished presentations. The company remains in build-out mode, which keeps focus sharply on cash flow, partner relationships, and any timeline that can be at least roughly
