Wave Life Sciences (WVE) stock slides 6% — what traders are watching next

New York, Jan 4, 2026, 12:46 ET — Market closed Wave Life Sciences shares closed down 6.2% on Friday at $15.95, with the Nasdaq-listed biotech swinging between $15.53 and $17.23 in the session. The drop matters because Wave’s stock has become a high-beta proxy for investor appetite for next-generation obesity treatments, where early clinical signals can move valuations sharply. The next company update investors care about is already on the calendar: Wave has guided to additional INLIGHT trial data in the first quarter. SEC Wave is developing RNA medicines, including WVE-007, a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy that aims to

Tesco issues urgent “do not eat” recall for three pate lines after date-label error

LONDON, January 4, 2026, 13:02 ET Britain’s Tesco has recalled three 170-gram own-brand pate products after they were labelled with an incorrect use-by date, prompting a warning over a possible microbiological risk, the UK’s Food Standards Agency said on Jan. 3. The recall covers Tesco Coarse Farmhouse Pate, Coarse Ardennes Pate and Smooth Chicken Liver Pate with a use-by date of 05 January 2026. Food Standards Agency Use-by dates are safety deadlines for foods that spoil quickly, and the watchdog warns people should not eat food after that date even if it looks and smells normal. Mislabelled dates can leave

Blackbaud stock slides nearly 6% to start 2026 as investors eye jobs data and mid-Feb earnings window

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 1:04 PM ET — Market closed Blackbaud shares closed down 5.95% on Friday at $59.52, a drop of $3.77 from Thursday’s close, in the stock’s first session of 2026. Yahoo Finance The selloff left the software provider’s stock near the day’s low of $59.32 after trading as high as $63.90 earlier in the session, according to market data. Why it matters now: Friday’s move resets the tape for a name that sits at the intersection of software spending and nonprofit fundraising budgets, both sensitive to macro expectations and financing conditions.

Exzeo Group (XZO) stock drops 6% into weekend — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Exzeo Group shares fell 6.1% on Friday, closing at $22.76, as the newly public insurance-technology company headed into the weekend with a sharp pullback. The stock traded between $24.49 and $22.19 during the session, according to market data. Yahoo Finance The slide matters because Exzeo has a short trading history after its November listing, and investors are still testing how the stock behaves around key levels without fresh company news.

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Novanta Inc shares fell 6.7% on Friday and closed at $111.14, swinging between $119.96 and $110.46 in the year’s first U.S. trading session. Volume was about 663,000 shares. The selloff left Novanta lagging a broader market that finished mixed to slightly higher, with the Dow and S&P 500 edging up while the Nasdaq ended little changed. The early-2026 tape has traders watching whether rate-sensitive stocks can hold gains after a strong 2025.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Pegasystems Inc shares closed down 6.1% on Friday, ending the first trading day of 2026 at $56.06. Yahoo Finance The drop matters heading into Monday because it put PEGA back on traders’ screens just as investors reprice rate-sensitive software names. Markets also face a heavy early-January U.S. data calendar that can move Treasury yields, a key input for growth-stock valuations. Reuters A late U.S. filing adds a fresh overhang.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:44 ET — Market closed SailPoint, Inc. shares ended Friday down 6.3% at $18.95, setting the identity-security firm’s stock up for a closely watched Monday open after a late-week slide. SailPoint Investor The drop matters now because software stocks that trade on future growth tend to swing with interest-rate expectations, and investors face a packed U.S. data calendar in the first full week of 2026.

Yahoo Finance With markets shut on Sunday, the Friday move leaves Spyre starting the new week with momentum tilted lower — a reminder that development-stage biotech stocks can swing sharply even without fresh headlines.

That drop pushed GWRE well below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages — roughly $215 and $220 — levels derived from past prices that many traders use as trend markers.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:56 ET — Market closed AppLovin Corp shares fell 8.2% on Friday to $618.32 in their latest close, with about 5.6 million shares traded.
