IREN Limited stock jumps 10% as bitcoin climbs; traders eye U.S. jobs report next

New York, January 5, 2026, 11:40 EST — Regular session Shares of IREN Limited jumped about 10% in morning trading on Monday as bitcoin rebounded, pulling crypto-linked stocks higher. The Nasdaq-listed stock was up $4.42 at $47.12 by 11:40 a.m. EST, after trading between $43.64 and $47.21, while bitcoin rose about 2.8% to $93,836. The move matters because IREN has become a high-beta bet on both crypto prices and the buildout of computing power for artificial intelligence. Miners’ shares often swing more than bitcoin because revenue tracks the coin price while power and other operating costs tend to move more

NuScale Power stock jumps 16% as House sets ‘New Nuclear Era’ hearing — what’s next for SMR

New York, January 5, 2026, 11:38 EST — Regular session NuScale Power Corp shares rose 16.1% to $18.93 in late morning trading on Monday. The stock ranged from $16.83 to $19.23, with about 36.3 million shares traded. The jump underscores how quickly traders are repricing small nuclear-reactor names on policy signals early in the year. For companies still years away from meaningful revenue, the prospect of faster approvals can dominate the tape. That focus sharpened after the House Energy and Commerce Committee said it will hold a January 7 hearing titled “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,”

EOSE stock rises as Eos Energy extends storage trade; options buzz keeps traders on edge

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:36 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Eos Energy Enterprises Inc rose 1.9% to $13.22 on Monday, building on a sharp move from the prior session as traders leaned into long-duration energy storage names. The stock, which trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol EOSE, touched $13.55 at the highs and traded as low as $13.01. The move matters because Eos has become a high-volatility proxy for the storage buildout theme, and that attracts fast money when risk appetite returns. It also sits in a part of the market where positioning can matter as much

Bloom Energy stock jumps again: BE extends rally on $600 million Wells Fargo credit line as jobs report looms

New York, January 5, 2026, 11:31 EST — Regular session Bloom Energy Corporation (BE) shares were up 6.3% at $104.95 in mid-morning trading on Monday, after ending Friday at $98.69. The fuel-cell maker’s stock has traded between $100.32 and $107.24 so far in the regular session. The rally has refocused attention on Bloom’s $600 million senior secured multicurrency revolving credit facility — a bank line companies can draw and repay — that it put in place with Wells Fargo, a filing showed. The facility matures in December 2030, is secured by a lien on most of Bloom’s personal property (excluding

AAOI stock slides 8% as Applied Optoelectronics gives back Friday rally on AI optics trade

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:30 a.m. ET — Regular session Applied Optoelectronics, Inc shares fell about 8% to $36.43 in late morning trade on Monday, after earlier touching $41.28. The Nasdaq-listed stock opened at $41.05 before sliding to session lows. The pullback lands as investors reprice a fast-moving “AI optics” theme, where small shifts in risk appetite can whipsaw suppliers of high-speed links inside cloud data centers. In December, the company said it received its first volume order for 800G data-center transceivers — optical modules that move data at 800 gigabits per second — from a major “hyperscale” customer,

Bed Bath & Beyond stock jumps as Marcus Lemonis becomes CEO and pitches “Everything Home” plan

Murray, Utah, January 5, 2026, 09:22 MST Bed Bath & Beyond said on Monday it has appointed Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis as chief executive officer, with its shares up nearly 5% in premarket trading. ( Investing) The move concentrates leadership as the retailer tries to broaden its business beyond selling home goods online and in stores. Lemonis is pitching a shift into home services and financing-related offerings, a bet that could bring in steadier fees than traditional retail. The timing also matters because Bed Bath & Beyond is leaning into deal-making and integration work this year, while consumer demand for

Baidu stock slides as Kunlunxin Hong Kong IPO plan shifts focus to timing, approvals

New York, January 5, 2026, 09:52 EST — Regular session Baidu’s U.S.-listed shares (BIDU) fell 3.7% to $144.75 in morning trading on Monday, retreating from Friday’s close of $150.30 as investors took profits after last week’s surge. The move matters now because the trade has shifted from the headline to the hard parts: how quickly Baidu can turn a filing into an offering, and what valuation the market will put on the chip unit. A spin-off is the separate listing of a business, and it can reset how investors value the parent company. Baidu said its artificial intelligence chip unit,

CleanSpark stock jumps 7% as bitcoin rallies; miners rise with February earnings in view

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:00 EST — Regular session CleanSpark Inc shares rose about 7% on Monday, tracking a rally in bitcoin and a broader lift in U.S.-listed crypto miners. The stock was up at $12.37 in late morning trade. The move matters now because bitcoin miners’ cash generation is tightly linked to the token’s price: higher prices typically mean richer block rewards in dollar terms. Bitcoin was up 2.8% at roughly $93,862, helping buoy sentiment across the group. Mining investors are also watching signs that competition may be easing.

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:39 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Bitmine Immersion Technologies rose 3.1% to $32.17 in morning trading on Monday after the company said its crypto and cash holdings totalled $14.2 billion, led by a 4.144 million-token position in ether.

Ether was up 1.6% and bitcoin gained 2.6%, lifting appetite for crypto-linked stocks. Bitmine’s strategy ties its balance sheet to crypto prices, so changes in the size of its token holdings can move

Energy Fuels stock jumps as uranium names heat up again — what’s driving UUUU today

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:38 EST — Regular session Energy Fuels Inc shares rose about 4% on Monday, lifting the uranium and critical-minerals producer after a volatile start to the year for the sector. The stock was up 4.0% at $17.35 in morning trade, after touching $17.45 at the session high. The move matters because investors are once again treating uranium-linked equities as a fast-moving proxy for shifting expectations on nuclear power demand, supply constraints and policy support for domestic production.
