Why Signet Jewelers (SIG) stock is sliding as Pandora flags weak U.S. holiday demand

Why Signet Jewelers (SIG) stock is sliding as Pandora flags weak U.S. holiday demand

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:36 EST — Regular session Signet Jewelers Ltd shares fell 5.3% to $85.29 on Friday afternoon, after opening lower and sliding as far as $83.10. The stock last closed at $90.05. The move matters because Signet sits in the middle of the U.S. holiday gifting season — the stretch that can make or break the year for jewelry sellers. A sour read-through from overseas didn’t help, and investors are quick to price in any wobble in discretionary spending. Pandora rattled the space earlier on Friday when it cut its 2025 organic sales growth forecast to

Qfin Holdings (QFIN) stock slides as China fintech ADRs lag on tariff limbo, credit jitters

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:43 EST — Regular session Qfin Holdings’ U.S.-listed shares slid on Friday, dropping about 4.5% to $17.32, even as the broader U.S. market pushed higher. The stock hit a session low of $17.21. Source The move matters because Qfin sits at the crossroads of two touchy stories right now: U.S.-China policy risk and the health of Chinese consumer credit. The company, formerly known as Qifu Technology, runs a credit-tech platform in China and trades in the U.S. as American depositary shares, a wrapper that lets overseas firms list on U.S. exchanges.

Why Soleno Therapeutics stock is down today: investor alerts revive Vykat XR scrutiny

Why Soleno Therapeutics stock is down today: investor alerts revive Vykat XR scrutiny

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:28 (EST) — Regular session Soleno Therapeutics shares slid on Friday, extending a choppy stretch for the rare-disease drugmaker. The stock was down 5.6% at $42.95, after touching a low of $42.73, while the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF was up about 1.1%. The move matters now because Soleno’s story still hinges on a young commercial launch and a single product, Vykat XR. Any shift in sentiment around safety, pricing, or patients staying on therapy can hit the stock hard, fast. A Zacks Equity Research industry outlook on Thursday highlighted Soleno alongside Nektar Therapeutics, Rigel Pharmaceuticals,

Wave Life Sciences (WVE) stock slides 6% even as biotech ETFs rise — what’s driving it now

New York, January 9, 2026, 13:20 (EST) — Regular session Wave Life Sciences Ltd shares fell about 5.6% on Friday, down 83 cents at $14.00, after trading between $13.99 and $15.09. The drop came even as biotech exchange-traded funds rose, with the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF up about 1% and the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF up about 0.5%. The move matters because Wave has become a high-beta obesity trade in the biotech tape, and the stock has been swinging on every new data point and funding headline. Traders have been leaning on near-term catalysts rather than fundamentals, and those catalysts

Reddit stock slides after Cantor starts coverage at Neutral and CFO sale hits filings

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:16 ET — Regular session Reddit, Inc shares fell 5.8% to $239.12 in afternoon trading on Friday, reversing an early push above $260. The move matters because Reddit stock has been priced like a fast grower, and fresh coverage is starting to draw harder lines around what that growth is worth. With results for the holiday quarter still ahead, even a “nothing’s broken” call can jolt a name trading at a premium. U.S. stocks were higher after a softer December jobs report, leaving Reddit as an outlier on the tape. The Nasdaq Composite was up

Oddity Tech stock drops nearly 6% after Oddity Labs science chief exit, KeyBanc trims target

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:11 EST — Regular session Oddity Tech Ltd shares fell 5.8% to $36.28 on Friday, extending a sharp pullback for the beauty and wellness company as investors weighed a senior departure at its research unit and a fresh price-target cut. The stock opened higher but swung between $35.80 and $38.82. In a Form 6-K filing with U.S. regulators — a report foreign-listed companies use to disclose material updates — Oddity said Dr. Ido Bachelet is no longer employed with the company.

Under Armour stock drops 6% as BlackRock reveals 10.6% stake in UAA

Under Armour stock drops 6% as BlackRock reveals 10.6% stake in UAA

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:03 ET — Regular session Under Armour’s voting Class A shares (UAA) sank roughly 6% on Friday after a disclosure showed BlackRock owned more than a tenth of the sportswear maker. The stock was off 6.1% at $5.64 by midday, after moving in a range of $6.10 to $5.61. The timing is awkward for Under Armour. The company is in reset mode, and the stock has started getting jumpy again. Big ownership updates can squeeze the “tradable” float — shares that actually change hands day to day — and that can make price swings sharper.

The Nasdaq-listed stock (IMNM) was up 7.4% at $21.97, after trading between $20.71 and $22.00.
