Uber stock gets a sell call as robotaxi race heats up in 2026

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 08:22 ET Uber Technologies shares were up about 1.4% in premarket trading on Monday. Melius Research cut the ride-hailing and delivery company’s rating to sell and set a $73 price target, below the stock’s last trade at $82.86. The firm cited rising competition from autonomous-vehicle, or AV, developers such as Tesla and Alphabet’s Waymo. Investing.com India The call lands as investors start 2026 trying to pin down when robotaxis — self-driving taxis — move from pilots to scaled services. Uber’s model depends on the take rate, the percentage of gross bookings it keeps from each

New SEC filings show big ConocoPhillips COP stake cuts — and a $46 million CEO stock sale

HOUSTON, Jan 5, 2026, 08:15 ET DT Investment Partners and SteelPeak Wealth sharply reduced their stakes in ConocoPhillips during the third quarter, regulatory filings showed on Monday. Separate SEC disclosures show Chief Executive Ryan Lance sold more than 500,000 shares in December. The updates matter because they offer a snapshot of how smaller managers were positioned in one of the U.S. oil sector’s biggest names before year-end, at a time when policy and commodity swings can quickly reshape sentiment. The disclosures also add fresh detail to insider trading in the stock, which investors often track for signals on valuation and

Archer Aviation stock in focus before the bell as CTO flags potential share sale (ACHR)

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 08:04 ET — Premarket Archer Aviation shares ticked higher in premarket trading on Monday after a regulatory filing showed the company’s chief technology officer plans to sell stock. The shares were up about 0.6% at $8.18, after closing up 8.1% on Friday at $8.13. Stockanalysis Why it matters now: Archer is a high-beta, early-stage aviation name, and trading in it can swing quickly when investors scan for clues on funding, insider behavior and sentiment across speculative growth stocks.

UiPath stock steadies in premarket after RBC trims target; traders watch $15.50 support

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 08:01 ET — Premarket UiPath shares were up about 0.8% at $16.00 in premarket trading on Monday after RBC Capital Markets cut its price target on the automation software maker to $17 from $19 while keeping a Sector Perform rating. MarketScreener The change matters now because UiPath is coming off a volatile start to 2026, with investors testing whether buying tied to its recent addition to the S&P MidCap 400 can hold up once the index-related repositioning fades. Seeking Alpha UiPath closed down 3.1% on Friday at $15.88, after trading as low as $15.49 and

MARA stock jumps premarket after 288-BTC Wintermute transfer puts Bitcoin miners back in play

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 07:39 ET — Premarket Shares of MARA Holdings Inc (MARA) were up 5.1% at $10.42 in premarket trading on Monday, after a report that the bitcoin miner moved coins to crypto market maker Wintermute. (Google Finance) The move matters because MARA’s stock often acts like a leveraged bet on bitcoin, with investors quick to react to signals about liquidity and coin sales. In plain terms, miners can swing more than the token because their revenue and balance sheets are tightly tied to the bitcoin price. Bitcoin was up about 1.9% at roughly $92,852, setting the

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 07:43 ET — Premarket Shares of D-Wave Quantum Inc climbed 7.6% to $28.13 in premarket trading on Monday, after finishing Friday at about $26.15. The move comes as CES 2026 gets underway in Las Vegas, a week-long shop window where technology companies pitch products, partnerships and roadmaps. A CES schedule shows Media Day events running on Monday ahead of the show floor opening on Tuesday. CES That timing matters for D-Wave because conference weeks often pull momentum money into thinly traded themes, even when the underlying news flow is light. This year’s CES is expected

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 07:40 ET — Premarket Amazon.com (AMZN) shares were little changed in premarket trading on Monday, around $226.50, after Evercore ISI reiterated a buy rating and a $335 price target, pointing to the retailer’s AI shopping assistant Rufus.

SLB stock jumps premarket on Venezuela upheaval as earnings near

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 07:33 ET SLB shares rose 8.5% to $43.60 in premarket trading on Monday, before the regular U.S. session opens. Halliburton and Baker Hughes were also up between 7% and 9% after U.S. forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and President Donald Trump said Washington would take control of the country, Reuters reported. Public The move underscores how quickly geopolitics can reprice expectations for drilling and well work. Oilfield services companies like SLB make money when customers commit to spending on rigs, crews, and technology — not when oil simply sits underground. SLB is set to

Occidental shares jump after Berkshire closes $9.7 billion OxyChem acquisition

HOUSTON, Jan 5, 2026, 07:21 ET Occidental Petroleum shares rose about 3% to $42.38 in early trading on Monday after Berkshire Hathaway closed its purchase of Occidental’s chemical business, OxyChem. The deal hands Occidental a rare lump of cash and removes an entire business line, leaving the Houston-based producer more tightly tied to oil and gas markets. Investors have been watching for signs the company can strengthen its finances while sticking to its core portfolio. For Berkshire, the acquisition adds a big U.S. industrial asset to a sprawling group that ranges from insurers to railroads and utilities. OxyChem’s products tend

Super Micro (SMCI) heads into 2026 with analysts on edge — margins are the fight

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 07:19 ET Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares were up about 6% in premarket trading on Monday, but analysts remained cautious on the server maker’s ability to protect margins as competition intensifies in AI hardware. The company sits in the middle of a global buildout of data centers for artificial intelligence, where customers are ordering dense, power-hungry systems that require complex supply chains and new cooling designs. That makes Super Micro a bellwether for whether the AI infrastructure boom can translate into durable profits, not just fast revenue growth. Wall Street is watching closely after a

BigBear.ai stock (BBAI) steadies premarket as $125 mln debt-cut plan puts Jan. 16 note redemption in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 07:21 ET — Premarket BigBear.ai Holdings shares were little changed in premarket trading on Monday as investors kept their focus on the company’s plan to redeem its 2029 convertible notes, a move that would shrink debt but add shares. The timing matters because the redemption accelerates a balance-sheet clean-up just as the small-cap name tries to shift attention back to execution after a string of corporate updates. It also forces a near-term decision point for noteholders. Convertible notes are debt that can be exchanged for common stock, and a redemption can push holders to either
