Karman Holdings (KRMN) stock jumps nearly 6% as Evercore lifts target after Seemann deal

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:13 EST — Regular session Karman Holdings Inc. shares were up 5.9% at $107.25 in morning trade on Friday, after touching an intraday high of $107.70.

Caesars Entertainment stock eases after Susquehanna upgrade pop, with Feb. 17 earnings in view

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:34 EST — Regular session Caesars Entertainment, Inc. shares were off about 1.1% at $24.80 in morning trading on Friday, after starting out higher and seesawing between $24.54 and $26.05. The retreat follows a 9% jump on Thursday, when the stock beat casino and gaming peers including MGM Resorts, DraftKings and Las Vegas Sands even as the broader market was mostly flat. The move matters because Caesars remains well below its 52-week high near $40, leaving the shares sensitive to fresh shifts in opinion as investors reposition ahead of earnings season.

Murphy Oil stock slips after $500 million bond pricing; traders eye January earnings

Murphy Oil stock slips after $500 million bond pricing; traders eye January earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:24 EST — Regular session Murphy Oil shares were down 0.4% at $32.60 on Friday, a day after the company priced a $500 million bond sale that reshapes its near-term debt calendar. The refinancing matters because oil producers are still trying to keep maturities pushed out, even when crude moves around and credit is picky. Senior notes are long-term bonds that sit ahead of other unsecured claims if a company runs into trouble. Murphy’s new paper also comes with a cost. The company is swapping out 2027 and 2028 notes for a longer 2034 maturity,

Venture Global (VG) stock slips after a 10% jump as January LNG export record bets cool

Venture Global (VG) stock slips after a 10% jump as January LNG export record bets cool

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:16 EST — Regular session Venture Global shares fell 3.1% to $7.29 in morning trading on Friday, giving back some of Thursday’s 10.3% rally. The stock closed at $7.52 on Thursday after touching $7.59, with volume jumping to about 15.2 million shares. The swing matters because traders have been treating U.S. LNG names as weather-and-flow trades. LNG is liquefied natural gas — super-cooled fuel shipped by tanker — and small changes in winter forecasts can move prices fast. A Reuters commodities report on Thursday said U.S. LNG exports were on track to hit a monthly

The U.S.-listed shares, tied to the China data center operator, have swung sharply in recent weeks.

Bloom Energy stock rises again as AEP expands $2.65 billion fuel cell deal in Wyoming

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:57 ET — Regular session Shares of Bloom Energy (BE.N) were up 5.1% at $128 in early New York trading on Friday, after American Electric Power’s fuel-cell purchase plan put the spotlight back on the U.S. power crunch story. The move matters because it is a rare, big-ticket utility commitment in a market where investors have questioned how quickly fuel-cell projects can move from talks to orders. Bloom sells solid oxide fuel cells — equipment that makes electricity through a chemical reaction rather than burning fuel — which can help customers add power without waiting
