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. A move of this size can quickly reset near-term positioning in a stock that has only recently established a public-market

Novanta stock sinks 6.7% to start 2026; ISM data and JPM conference loom

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. Reuters Why it matters now: the start-of-year reset is colliding with a fresh round of U.S. data and

Pegasystems stock slides 6% to start 2026 as insider sale filing lands — what’s next for PEGA

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. A Form 144 notice accepted on Friday showed Pegasystems officer Kenneth Stillwell filed to sell up to 4,000 shares, with an

SailPoint stock slides 6% into 2026 — here’s what investors watch before Monday

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. Those releases can quickly shift bond yields — and, by extension, equity valuations.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:20 ET — Market closed Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (KYMR) shares closed down 6.5% on Friday at $72.76, extending a losing streak to seven consecutive sessions as the U.S. market heads into the first full trading week of 2026. The stock is down about 13% since Dec. 23 and roughly 29% below the record intraday high of $103 hit in early December. Shares traded between $72.15 and $77.82 on Friday, with about 854,000 shares changing hands.

Spyre Therapeutics stock slid 6.6% into the weekend — here’s what matters before Monday’s open

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:15 ET — Market closed Spyre Therapeutics shares fell 6.6% to $30.58 on Friday, then ticked up about 2% in after-hours trading, as U.S. markets headed into the weekend. 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 matters now because Spyre’s valuation hinges on clinical data due in 2026, not product sales. Any shift in expectations for timing or quality of those readouts can drive outsized moves. In

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:12 ET — Market closed Guidewire Software, Inc. shares closed down 6.7% on Friday at $187.63 and last traded around $189 in after-hours activity. 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. Its 14-day relative strength index, a momentum gauge, sat near 30, a reading often associated with “oversold” conditions. The move came as U.S. stocks ended mixed and Treasury yields climbed in a session marked by uneven participation after the New Year’s

AppLovin stock slides 8% after breaking a key level — what investors watch next

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. The decline left the mobile advertising and marketing software company below its 50-day moving average near $639, a line that smooths the last 50 sessions of prices and is often used as a short-term momentum gauge. MarketBeat That matters now because AppLovin joined the S&P 500 in September 2025, widening ownership among index funds that buy and sell in step with the benchmark and can amplify swings during early-year rebalancing.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:03 ET — Market closed Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC shares fell 7.3% on Friday, Jan. 2, to close at $19.81, after trading as high as $23.28 and as low as $19.61 on about 418,000 shares of volume.

Klaviyo stock drops nearly 10% to start 2026 as yields rise — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 10:48 ET — Market closed Klaviyo, Inc. (KVYO) shares ended the first trading day of 2026 down 9.7% on Friday at $29.32. The stock traded between $32.46 and $29.15 and saw about 4.9 million shares change hands. The move matters because Klaviyo sits in the high-growth software bucket, where valuations often swing with changes in interest-rate expectations. When bond yields rise, investors tend to pay less for profits that are expected further out. With U.S. markets closed on Sunday, attention turns to whether Friday’s slide was a one-day reset or the start of a broader

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:59 ET — Market closed Liquidia Corporation shares slid in the last U.S. session as options traders piled into downside protection, putting the biotech stock on watch ahead of Monday’s reopen. The move matters because the options market often telegraphs how investors are positioning for near-term swings, especially in event-driven healthcare names where single headlines can shift the outlook. Put options — contracts that give the holder the right to sell shares at a set price — can be used to hedge existing stock positions or to bet on a decline. Heavy put demand can
