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

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.

Builders FirstSource (BLDR) stock jumps as Trump’s $200B mortgage-bond order jolts housing names

New York, January 9, 2026, 12:48 (EST) — Regular session Builders FirstSource shares jumped 10.8% to $123.27 in midday trading, as investors chased housing-linked stocks after President Donald Trump ordered a $200 billion purchase of mortgage bonds. The trade is simple: cheaper mortgages can pull buyers back in. For a supplier tied to new-home construction and repair work, even a small shift in demand can swing volumes and margins. It also lands at a jittery moment for anything rate-sensitive. Investors have been punishing housing names on affordability worries, then snapping them up on any hint that borrowing costs might ease.

The stock opened at $13.66 and has traded nearly 3.0 million shares so far, market data showed.

Bitcoin was little changed near $91,067, while peers were mixed, with Riot Platforms up about 3% and Marathon Digital down about 0.4%. The move comes with U.S. stocks grinding higher after a softer December jobs report left expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts broadly intact. “This is a report that’s somewhat within the range of expectations of investors, so they’re not reacting,” Mark Hackett, chief

The move followed a report that flagged a possible jump in prices for enterprise flash components. (Seeking Alpha) Why it matters now: pricing is the whole game in flash memory. When suppliers can raise prices — or even convince buyers they will — margins can swing fast, and so can stocks. Investors have been leaning into anything linked to data-center buildouts, where demand for storage
