Deckers Outdoor stock drops as Needham pulls DECK from Conviction List, putting Hoka growth back under a microscope

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 15:10 (ET) — Regular session Deckers Outdoor (DECK) shares fell 4.2% on Friday, slipping to $102.85 in afternoon trading after an early pop faded and the stock turned lower. Shares swung between $108.72 and $102.18. The drop landed even as the broader market held firm, a sign traders were treating this as a stock-specific story. A weaker U.S. jobs report pushed investors to price in a longer pause in Federal Reserve rate cuts, a backdrop that can make growth stocks and consumer names twitchy.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:26 EST — Regular session Equity Residential shares were down 3.8% at $60.46 by 3:26 p.m. EST, underperforming the broader apartment REIT group after BMO Capital cut its rating to “market perform” from “outperform.” (StreetInsider.com) The move lands on a day when rates-sensitive sectors were already on edge after fresh U.S. labor data showed payroll growth stayed soft in December and the unemployment rate eased to 4.4%.

Twilio (TWLO) stock slides as CEO share-sale filing lands; February earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 15:07 EST — Regular session Twilio shares fell on Friday after a regulatory filing showed Chief Executive Khozema Shipchandler sold stock under a pre-arranged trading plan. The stock was down 3.9% at $132.13, after earlier trading as high as $138.39.

The drop came as investors digested a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that pulled attention back to the health of the consumer — and the path for interest rates. “Hiring is still stuck in stall speed,” said Olu Sonola, head of U.S. economic research at Fitch Ratings, after payrolls rose 50,000 in December; the report also showed job losses in retail and left expectations intact for the Federal Reserve to hold

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:45 EST — Regular session Shares of Scorpio Tankers Inc fell about 2.3% on Friday after Bank of America Securities cut its rating on the product tanker operator, pointing to signs the freight market may be closer to a top.
