DraftKings stock rises premarket as Maine clears path for online casino gamblingNew York,

January 9, 2026, 07:33 EST — Premarket DraftKings Inc (DKNG) shares were up about 2.6% in premarket trading on Friday after Maine Governor Janet Mills said she will allow a bill letting tribal nations run online gambling to become law. The stock was changing hands around $36.92. (Public) Investors have been hunting for new states to greenlight legal online casinos — iGaming, or real-money casino games played online — a business that can throw off steadier revenue than sports betting. DraftKings closed up 3.8% at $35.98 on Thursday, though the stock remains roughly a third below its 52-week high. (MarketWatch)

Bloom Energy stock jumps again as AEP’s $2.65 billion fuel-cell deal hits the tape

New York, January 9, 2026, 07:45 EST — Premarket Bloom Energy Corp shares climbed about 13% in premarket trading on Friday after American Electric Power disclosed a $2.65 billion agreement to buy the fuel-cell maker’s equipment for a planned generation facility in Wyoming. The stock had surged as much as 14% on Thursday, touching its highest since November. (reuters.com) The filing finally pins down the price tag on a project investors have been trying to gauge since AEP and Bloom sketched out a broader framework in 2024. And it hits as power supply — not chips — is the bottleneck

Why Vistra (VST) stock is jumping premarket: Meta signs 20-year nuclear power deals

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 07:23 EST — Premarket Vistra Corp shares jumped roughly 8% in premarket trading on Friday after Meta Platforms said it had signed 20-year deals to purchase electricity from three of Vistra’s nuclear facilities. Meta said the agreements include Vistra’s Perry and Davis-Besse plants in Ohio and the Beaver Valley plant in Pennsylvania. (reuters.com) The development puts power generators back front and center as Big Tech races to lock in reliable electricity for surging data center demand. Nuclear plants, long treated as fully mature assets, are returning to the discussion since they operate 24/7 and produce

Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE) stock jumps premarket as Meta nuclear deals put reactor names back in focus

New York, January 9, 2026, 07:33 EST — Premarket Nano Nuclear Energy Inc shares climbed 8.3% to $35.78 in premarket trading on Friday, after finishing the prior session up 5.4%, according to StockAnalysis.

NuScale Power stock jumps in premarket after BofA upgrade lifts SMR shares

NuScale Power stock jumps in premarket after BofA upgrade lifts SMR shares

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 07:19 EST — Premarket NuScale Power shares jumped about 12% in premarket trading on Friday after Bank of America Securities upgraded the nuclear technology company. The stock was up around $2.4 at $22.08 after closing at $19.67 on Thursday. (StockAnalysis) The move matters because NuScale has been a proxy trade for the market’s bigger debate on power demand and financing: how fast “advanced nuclear” projects can move from headlines to funded orders. It is also the kind of high-beta name that can gap sharply on broker calls, then give it back just as quickly once

Rio Tinto stock slides on revived Glencore merger talks as Feb 5 deadline nears

London, January 9, 2026, 12:11 GMT — Regular session Rio Tinto (RIO.L) shares slid on Friday after the miner confirmed preliminary discussions with Glencore over a possible combination. Rio was down 2.2% in London by 1044 GMT, while Glencore jumped 10%, with markets also watching a U.S. jobs report later in the day. (reuters.com) The talks revive the chances of a mining mega-deal that would create a group valued at nearly $207 billion and, analysts say, would leapfrog BHP in market value. Rio’s shares slid as investors worried it could overpay for Glencore, a $65 billion miner and trader, in

Jet.AI (JTAI) stock dips in premarket after 29% jump; SEC filings flag ATM end and preferred reset

New York, January 9, 2026, 07:08 ET — Premarket Shares of Jet.AI Inc slipped about 2% in Friday premarket after surging 29% a day earlier, with investors parsing new disclosures on the company’s financing and preferred-stock terms. The Nasdaq-listed stock last traded at $0.71 and has ranged from $0.69 to $1.15 in the latest session; over the past 52 weeks it has moved between $0.52 and $11.77, according to Investing.com.

FNMA stock in focus after Trump’s $200bn mortgage bond order and fresh IPO talk

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 07:06 EST — Premarket Fannie Mae shares drew extra attention ahead of Friday’s session after U.S. President Donald Trump said he was ordering $200 billion of mortgage bond purchases intended to push mortgage rates lower. The stock finished Thursday up 1.5% at $10.85, as U.S. stock index futures stayed muted going into the December jobs report. (MarketWatch) That’s important since Federal National Mortgage Association stock — a thinly traded over-the-counter name — has for years tended to swing more on policy chatter than on routine business fundamentals. The company has been in federal conservatorship since

Richtech Robotics (RR) stock rises again in premarket as CES “Dex” demo keeps traders watching

New York, January 9, 2026, 07:06 EST — Premarket Richtech Robotics Inc shares rose 1% in premarket trading on Friday after jumping 14.9% a day earlier, extending a volatile week for the small-cap robotics maker. The stock last traded at $3.97 in premarket, after closing at $3.93 on Thursday. (StockAnalysis) The move matters because Richtech is getting an unusual burst of attention at CES 2026, where big product demos can spill straight into momentum trading in thinly held names. Volume has been heavy, and the swings have been sharp even by recent standards. Investors also have a nearer-term scoreboard than

MongoDB stock steadies before the bell after a 6% slide as payrolls, tariffs loom

New York, January 9, 2026, 07:04 EST — Premarket MongoDB (MDB) shares ticked higher in premarket trading on Friday after the stock slid 6.15% in the previous session, retreating from near its highs to finish at $413.52. Ahead of the open, pre-market quotes had it trading around the mid-$410s. The timing is awkward for investors, with a tight run of potential triggers that could swing rate bets and risk appetite. U.S. stock futures were subdued ahead of the monthly jobs report, and markets were also waiting on a Supreme Court decision on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, a Reuters report said.

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 07:03 EST — Premarket Novo Nordisk’s U.S.-listed shares gained 1.4% to $57.34 in premarket trading on Friday after the company rejected claims involving SaveRxCanada.to, a Canadian online pharmacy platform that says it offers India-sourced Ozempic to U.S. patients. SaveRxCanada.to said the pens start at about $280 each, compared with typical U.S. retail prices of $900 to $1,100. A Novo spokesperson said: “We have no customer or partner relationship with this company/platform, and Ozempic from India has not been provided to them.” (reuters.com) The spat comes at an awkward time for drugmakers, with pricing back in

(MarketBeat) The timing is awkward for high-growth software. Investors are bracing for the U.S. jobs report and a Supreme Court ruling on the legality of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, both of which could jolt rate bets and broader risk appetite.
