Applied Digital stock edges up ahead of earnings as new analyst targets reach $99

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 10:36 EST Applied Digital shares rose about 2% on Wednesday as the AI data-center builder headed into quarterly results later in the day and drew fresh analyst coverage. The earnings print matters because investors are watching for signs that big customers are locking in power-hungry AI capacity, and whether new sites can be financed without heavy dilution.

GameStop dangles a $35 billion Ryan Cohen payday — but only if GME hits $100 billion

GRAPEVINE, Texas, January 7, 2026, 09:30 CST GameStop on Wednesday granted CEO Ryan Cohen a performance-based stock option award that could be worth roughly $35 billion if he can lift the videogame retailer’s market value to $100 billion and meet profit targets, Reuters calculated.

New York, January 7, 2026, 10:39 EST — Regular session Rocket Lab shares slid 2.6% to $83.80 in mid-morning trade on Wednesday, a day after the space and defense contractor’s stock logged a sharp jump.
