NuScale Power stock jumps 15% to start 2026 — what pushed SMR, and what’s next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:46 ET — Market closed NuScale Power Corporation shares jumped 15.1% in the last regular session, closing at $16.31 on Friday with about 30.5 million shares traded, according to Stock Analysis data. StockAnalysis The move put the small-cap nuclear developer among the sharper gainers as investors began 2026 rotating back into higher-volatility corners of the market after a late-December slump. Reuters For NuScale, market chatter centered on sentiment rather than a new company catalyst. Nasdaq.com said the stock rose “apparently on no good news at all,” pointing instead to headlines around a temporary shutdown at

Netflix stock today: NFLX drops nearly 3% as Warner deal drama and earnings near

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:20 ET — Market closed Netflix shares last closed down $2.78, or about 3%, at $90.99 on Friday, the first trading day of 2026. The stock traded between $90.83 and $93.61, with about 41 million shares changing hands. The slide matters now because investors are still digesting Netflix’s agreement to buy Warner Bros. Discovery’s film and TV studios and streaming assets, including HBO and HBO Max. Netflix said the cash-and-stock transaction values Warner at $27.75 per share, with an enterprise value of about $82.7 billion — a measure that includes debt — and it expects

Applied Digital stock jumps 14% as AI-linked names rebound; APLD earnings on Jan. 7

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:28 ET — Market closed. Applied Digital Corporation (APLD) shares jumped 14.6% on Friday to close at $28.11, after trading between $24.65 and $28.44. Trading volume was about 36.1 million shares. The move put focus back on one of the market’s more volatile AI infrastructure trades, where sentiment can swing sharply on expectations for data-center demand and funding conditions.

The rally came as risk

Apple stock today: AAPL slips on Raymond James caution as Wall Street weighs rates and earnings

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:20 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares slipped about 0.3% to $271.01 on Friday after Raymond James restarted coverage with a neutral view on valuation. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday, leaving Apple last seen trading between $269.12 and $277.69 on roughly 37.8 million shares. The call lands as investors reset positions for 2026, with mega-cap technology again under a microscope after last year’s run lifted valuations across the sector. Apple’s size in major indexes can amplify sentiment, even when the tape is quiet. Rate expectations are the other moving piece. Tech stocks tend

Rigetti stock jumps 6% as director files plan to sell shares — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:16 ET — Market closed Rigetti Computing shares jumped about 6.6% in the most recent session, ending at $23.60 on Friday with heavy trading volume, even as a company director filed paperwork signaling an intent to sell stock. The timing matters because quantum-computing names have become a high-volatility corner of the market, with sharp moves often driven by sentiment and risk appetite rather than near-term fundamentals. The filing is a Form 144, a notice insiders use to disclose a planned sale under SEC Rule 144. It flags an intent to sell but does not guarantee

Opendoor stock bounces above $6 to start 2026 as rates and jobs data take center stage

Opendoor stock bounces above $6 to start 2026 as rates and jobs data take center stage

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:15 ET — Market closed. Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN.O) shares ended Friday up about 4% at $6.07, after trading between $5.86 and $6.15 on roughly 38.4 million shares. The move matters because Opendoor sits at the intersection of housing demand and interest rates. When borrowing costs rise, affordability falls and homes can take longer to sell, which pressures companies that buy and resell homes for profit. U.S. stocks finished mixed on Friday and Treasury yields moved higher, a backdrop that can quickly change the tone for rate-sensitive names. “Today is kind of a holiday trading

NIO stock in focus as record deliveries meet a looming 1‑millionth vehicle milestone

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:03 ET — Market closed. NIO Inc’s U.S.-listed shares closed up 0.8% on Friday at $5.14. Stockanalysis The move comes as investors digest a wave of end-of-year delivery updates from Chinese electric-vehicle makers, one of the few high-frequency reads on demand in a sector still fighting a price-driven slowdown. For NIO, delivery momentum matters because the company is still spending heavily on new models and infrastructure while it pushes toward break-even. NIO reported a net loss in its most recent quarterly results, even as it posted a higher gross margin. Nio NIO said it delivered

Micron (MU) stock jumps 10% as Bernstein lifts target on AI-driven memory price upcycle

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:50 ET — Market closed Micron Technology shares surged 10.5% to close at $315.42 on Friday, as a bullish analyst note helped extend a powerful rally in memory stocks tied to artificial-intelligence data centers. The move matters now because memory is one of the key inputs for AI servers, and tighter supply can push up prices quickly. Higher prices typically flow straight into chipmakers’ margins when they sell more of the same bits at better terms. Micron is a major supplier of DRAM (dynamic random access memory, a type of working memory used in computers

Rivian stock slides after 2025 deliveries miss estimates; Feb. 12 earnings now the next test

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:57 ET — Market closed. Rivian Automotive Inc (RIVN.O) shares last closed at $19.41, down about 1.5%, after the electric-vehicle maker’s year-end delivery update landed short of Wall Street expectations. The stock traded between $18.90 and $20.70 in the session, with about 42.7 million shares changing hands. The delivery print matters because it lands as Rivian tries to defend demand for premium-priced models and line up a lower-cost launch in 2026. Rivian said it delivered 42,247 vehicles in 2025, down about 18% from a year earlier; analysts had expected 42,500, and fourth-quarter deliveries of 9,745

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:46 ET — Market closed. Archer Aviation Inc shares closed up 8.1% at $8.13 on Friday, the first U.S. trading session of 2026, after swinging sharply higher through the day. Archer The move put fresh attention on electric air-taxi developers, a corner of the market where sentiment can turn quickly on funding needs and the pace of regulatory sign-offs. Archer and its rivals are still in development mode, so traders often latch onto any signal around capital, timelines or insider activity. That sensitivity was in focus late Friday after an executive filed a notice that

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:48 ET — Market closed American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O) is set to come under fresh scrutiny when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after a weekend FAA airspace restriction triggered hundreds of flight cancellations across parts of the Caribbean. The stock last closed up 0.98% at $15.48 on Friday.
