Siemens Energy rebuffs wind spin-off call as Siemens targets 200,000 U.S. electricians by 2030

FRANKFURT, January 2, 2026, 12:30 ET Siemens Energy has rejected pressure from activist investor Ananym Capital to spin off its loss-making wind turbine business Siemens Gamesa, the Financial Times reported, sticking with a plan to restore the unit’s profitability. The newspaper said Siemens Energy is targeting a 3% to 5% operating margin — profit from core operations as a share of sales — for Gamesa by 2028. Financial Times The standoff lands as demand for gas turbines and power-grid equipment keeps climbing, pushing Siemens Energy and its rivals deeper into multi-year investment cycles.

Why CleanSpark (CLSK) stock is jumping today as bitcoin miners rally

Why CleanSpark (CLSK) stock is jumping today as bitcoin miners rally

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:11 ET — Regular session Shares of CleanSpark, Inc. rose about 10% on Friday morning, extending a rebound in U.S.-listed bitcoin miners. The Nasdaq-listed stock traded at $11.15 after earlier touching $11.24. The move matters now because miners tend to magnify swings in bitcoin, the asset that drives their revenue. When bitcoin rises, investors often price in faster cash-generation, even if operating costs such as power contracts and equipment depreciation do not move as quickly. Analysts have said bitcoin has been trading more like a traditional “risk asset,” moving with broader market sentiment rather than

IBM stock falls as 2026 begins; investors eye jobs data and IBM’s Jan. 28 results

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:45 ET — Regular session Shares of International Business Machines (IBM) fell about 1.4% on Friday, extending a pullback below the $300 level as the first full trading day of 2026 got underway.

Traders are also watching whether rate expectations and Washington policy headlines that drove late-2025 swings carry into the new year. Reuters The

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 12:07 ET — Regular session Shares of Fermi Inc (FRMI.O) rose about 14% to $9.12 in midday trading on Friday, after swinging between $8.05 and $9.15 earlier in the session. Trading volume topped 4.4 million shares.

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 12:25 ET — Regular session SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares rose about 3.7% to $27.16 in midday trading on Friday after the fintech lender said it would report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on Jan. 30. The stock has traded between $25.80 and $27.17 during the session. SoFi Investors The date matters because SoFi is a rate-sensitive name that tends to trade on growth expectations and signs of stress in consumer credit.

Bitmine Immersion (BMNR) slips as Tom Lee urges shareholders to back 50 billion authorized-share plan

Bitmine Immersion (BMNR) slips as Tom Lee urges shareholders to back 50 billion authorized-share plan

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 09:36 ET — Regular session Shares of Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc were down about 2% at $27.15 in early U.S. trading on Friday after the company filed new investor materials ahead of a shareholder vote on expanding its authorized share count. The proposal matters because “authorized shares” set the legal ceiling on how much stock a company can issue. Raising that cap can give management room for future stock sales, which can dilute existing investors, or for stock splits, which increase the share count while lowering the price per share. The filing lands as crypto-linked

Salesforce (CRM) stock slides 3% today, weighing on Dow as traders eye jobs data and Fed path

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 12:10 ET — Regular session Salesforce Inc shares were down 3.3% at $256.11 in late-morning trade on Friday, extending a weak start to the first U.S. trading session of 2026. The move matters because Salesforce is a high-priced Dow component, giving it an outsized impact on the blue-chip index’s day-to-day swings. In a price-weighted index like the Dow, higher-priced stocks can move the index more on a point basis.

Ford stock slips in premarket as Tesla delivery miss revives EV demand worries

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 09:26 ET — Premarket Ford Motor’s shares dipped 0.7% in U.S. premarket trading on Friday, ahead of the regular 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. session, as weaker-than-expected Tesla delivery data weighed on sentiment across the electric-vehicle space. Reuters The early move matters because automakers tend to swing with interest-rate expectations and consumer financing costs, and investors are using the first full session of 2026 to reset positions after a late-2025 pullback. EV demand has been under extra pressure since the Trump administration ended a $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric vehicles at the end

The stock traded between $55.03 and $55.68. The move comes as investors reset positions for the year with the interest-rate outlook back in focus.

BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock jumps as Tom Lee presses vote to lift authorized shares to 50 billion

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:59 ET — Regular session BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc shares climbed on Friday after the company filed new materials aimed at winning shareholder support for a sharp increase in its authorized share count. SEC The move matters because the proposal is headed for a vote this month and could reshape how the company funds itself. Authorized shares set the maximum number of shares a company is allowed to issue under its charter; raising that ceiling can give management flexibility, but it can also heighten dilution concerns for existing holders. It also lands as crypto-sensitive stocks
