Goldman Sachs stock rises more than 2% today as traders eye jobs data and bank earnings

Goldman Sachs stock rises more than 2% today as traders eye jobs data and bank earnings

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:38 ET — Regular session Goldman Sachs (GS) shares rose 2.1% to $897.16 in late morning trading on Friday, after moving between $880.82 and $897.16. The gains came as Wall Street opened 2026 on firmer footing, with technology stocks rebounding after late-December losses and investors tracking fresh tariff headlines from President Donald Trump’s administration. Reuters The early move matters because a busy January calendar is about to test risk appetite and interest-rate expectations that have underpinned equities. “The market is looking for direction,” said Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, in a note

Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq start 2026 higher as tech rebounds; Intuit sinks on co-founder sale

Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq start 2026 higher as tech rebounds; Intuit sinks on co-founder sale

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 11:33 ET U.S. stocks rose on Friday, the first trading day of 2026, as investors returned to heavyweight technology names. Intuit fell after a regulatory filing showed co-founder and director Scott Cook sold shares. The opening moves matter because money managers often reset portfolios at the start of the year, amplifying early swings. Investors are also testing whether the 2025 rally — powered in part by enthusiasm around artificial intelligence — can carry into January. Wall Street is coming off a late-December pullback that undercut expectations for a “Santa Claus rally,” a seasonal pattern of

UiPath stock slides on S&P MidCap 400 debut as CEO share sales surface

UiPath stock slides on S&P MidCap 400 debut as CEO share sales surface

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:30 ET — Regular session UiPath, Inc. shares fell about 4% on Friday, sliding to $15.74 in midday trading after swinging between $16.85 and $15.50. The automation software maker’s stock (PATH) was last down 65 cents at 11:30 a.m. ET. The decline comes as Wall Street digests a technical catalyst: UiPath’s addition to the S&P MidCap 400 index, a benchmark for U.S. mid-sized companies. Index changes can drive heavy, short-lived trading as funds that track the benchmark rebalance. That matters now because the bulk of index-linked buying and selling tends to cluster around the effective

Telus dividend paid today keeps 9.5% yield in spotlight as investors weigh debt, safer alternatives

Telus dividend paid today keeps 9.5% yield in spotlight as investors weigh debt, safer alternatives

TORONTO, Jan 2, 2026, 10:57 ET TELUS Corp’s U.S.-listed shares were little changed on Friday as the Canadian telecom paid its latest quarterly dividend, keeping its near-10% dividend yield in focus for income investors at the start of 2026. TELUS The payout lands as investors reassess high-yield stocks after a stretch in which rate-sensitive names and heavily indebted companies have struggled to keep their appeal. In TELUS’ case, the yield has swelled largely because the share price has fallen, sharpening the debate over whether the stock is a value opportunity or a warning sign. TELUS said its board declared a

Boeing (BA) stock jumps today as $2.7 billion Apache support deal kicks off 2026 trading

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 11:27 ET — Regular session Boeing shares climbed about 2.7% on Friday, buoyed by renewed risk appetite on Wall Street and attention on a fresh U.S. defense award. The stock was last up $5.79 at $222.91 in New York trading. Reuters The move matters because Boeing is entering 2026 still under investor pressure to prove it can translate a large backlog into steadier deliveries and cash. Defense and services contracts can offer longer-dated revenue visibility even when commercial aircraft output is constrained. Reuters Broader markets also helped. “The next Fed Chair is probably going to

Costco stock slips today as December sales report nears; insider filing in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 11:08 ET — Regular session Costco Wholesale Corp shares fell 0.5% to $857.91 in morning trade on Friday, giving back ground as U.S. stocks began 2026 on firmer footing. The move matters because Costco’s monthly sales update next week is one of the first hard reads on holiday demand from a major U.S. retailer, and investors use it to gauge momentum before the next earnings report. Traders were also scanning insider-trading disclosures after a senior executive reported share sales at the end of 2025, a period when many funds rebalance positions around the year turn.

CoreWeave stock jumps nearly 9% today as Nvidia-led tech rebound lifts AI infrastructure names

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:03 ET — Regular session CoreWeave, Inc. shares jumped 8.6% to $77.76 in morning trading on Friday, after opening at $73.90 and swinging between $72.95 and $77.76 on volume of about 8.6 million shares. The early rally puts the spotlight back on one of the market’s most rate-sensitive trades: AI infrastructure. For stocks like CoreWeave, small shifts in investor risk appetite can translate into outsized moves because the business depends on heavy, ongoing investment to expand capacity. The backdrop turned more supportive as tech stocks led Wall Street higher on the first trading day of

AppLovin stock slides nearly 7% as 2026 opens, with APP testing $630

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:00 ET — Regular session AppLovin Corp (NASDAQ: APP) shares fell nearly 7% on Friday, bucking a broadly firmer U.S. tape in the first trading session of 2026. The move extends a late-December pullback that pushed the stock through $700, a level traders had treated as “support” — a price floor where buyers have tended to step in. Nasdaq That matters now because AppLovin has traded as a high-momentum advertising software name, and breaks in momentum often sharpen swings as funds rebalance early in a new year. Trefis Shares were down 6.9% at $627.52 in

UnitedHealth stock rises today as UNH outpaces S&P 500 in early 2026 trade

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 10:55 ET — Regular session Shares of UnitedHealth Group climbed 0.7% to $332.29 in morning trading on Friday, outperforming the broader market as the first full U.S. trading session of 2026 got underway. The move matters because UnitedHealth is heading into its late-January results with investors focused on whether the insurer can steady medical-cost trends and lay out a clearer 2026 path. The company is due to provide 2026 guidance with its full-year 2025 results later this month.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:19 ET — Regular session Ondas Holdings Inc shares rose 8.6% to $10.60 as of 11:04 a.m. ET on Friday after the company disclosed plans to change its corporate name to Ondas Inc. and relocate its headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida. Nearly 49.4 million shares had changed hands, with the stock trading between $9.92 and $10.63. The move matters because small-cap defense and security suppliers often rely on frequent capital raises and new customer wins to fund growth.

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 11:11 ET — Regular session Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) shares fell 0.9% to $347.54 in late-morning trading on Friday. The stock traded between $343.59 and $351.75. The pullback put the payments giant in focus at the start of 2026, when positioning can swing quickly after year-end. Visa makes money by taking a small fee on card transactions, so investors track economic data for signals on consumer spending. After the S&P 500 finished 2025 up more than 16%, investors are scanning for new catalysts and the next read on U.S. economic momentum. The monthly jobs report

Oil prices slipped as 2026 trading opened after both Brent and U.S. crude logged annual losses of nearly 20% in 2025, their steepest drop since 2020, with investors weighing oversupply worries against geopolitical risks.
