U.S. factory slump won’t quit: ISM hits 14-month low as tariffs keep costs high

WASHINGTON, Jan 5, 2026, 14:30 EST U.S. manufacturing activity sank to a 14-month low in December, with a closely watched ISM survey showing a 10th straight month of contraction as tariff-driven costs stayed high. ( Yahoo Finance) The Institute for Supply Management’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) — a diffusion index where readings below 50 signal contraction — slipped to 47.9 from 48.2 in November, ISM said.

Jabil stock slides on Hanley Energy buy: what the $725 million AI data center deal means for JBL

New York, January 5, 2026, 14:54 EST — Regular session Shares of Jabil Inc fell about 7% on Monday after the electronics manufacturing services provider said it had completed its purchase of data center power specialist Hanley Energy Group. The stock was down 7.3% at $222.90, after swinging between $248.88 and $222.86. Business Wire The move matters because investors have treated the “AI trade” as a cash-flow story as much as a growth story: companies that can convert data-center demand into durable margins and cash generation have been rewarded. Big, cash-funded deals can change that math fast. For Jabil, the

Why Cenovus Energy stock is down today: Venezuela shock hits Canadian oil sands

Why Cenovus Energy stock is down today: Venezuela shock hits Canadian oil sands

Toronto, Jan 5, 2026, 14:19 (EST) — Regular session Cenovus Energy Inc shares fell more than 5% on Monday afternoon, tracking a selloff in Canadian oil sands producers as investors weighed whether Venezuela’s heavy crude could re-enter U.S. markets and pressure Canadian pricing. The U.S.-listed stock was down 5.3% at $16.60, after touching a session low of $15.81. The slide matters because Venezuela and Western Canada both sell heavy crude, a thicker grade that needs complex refineries to process. Any policy shift that speeds Venezuelan flows back toward U.S. Gulf Coast refineries risks narrowing the “scarcity premium” that has supported

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 14:26 EST — Regular session Sunrun Inc shares fell 5.6% on Monday, a sharp underperformer in U.S. solar, as investors weighed fresh U.S. economic data and looked ahead to a key jobs report later this week.

New York, January 5, 2026, 14:21 EST — Regular session Shares of Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) slid 9.9% to $31.93 in afternoon trading on Monday as obesity-drug stocks reacted to Novo Nordisk’s U.S. launch of a Wegovy weight-loss pill.
