NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 12:35 ET — Regular session GE Vernova Inc. shares rose 3.3% to $675.14 in early afternoon trading on Friday, outperforming a mixed U.S. market as investors returned for the first full session after the New Year holiday. The stock traded as high as $676 and as low as $659.62. The move matters because investors have started 2026 looking for beneficiaries of a tightening power system, where utilities are being pushed to add generation and upgrade transmission.

Lam Research stock jumps nearly 5% today as chip-equipment rally kicks off 2026

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 12:25 ET — Regular session Lam Research (LRCX) shares rose $8.31, or 4.9%, to $179.49 on Friday, outperforming the broader market in the first regular session of 2026. The move matters now because chip-equipment stocks often trade as a direct read-through on how aggressively chipmakers plan to spend on new capacity. Those spending plans can swing quickly with demand for artificial intelligence hardware and memory chips. Reuters Friday’s gains also reflect a risk-on tone at the start of the year after a choppy finish to 2025, with technology shares helping lift U.S. equities, Reuters reported.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 12:34 ET — Regular session Uranium Energy Corp shares jumped about 10% in midday trading on Friday, tracking a broad rally in uranium miners at the start of the first U.S. session of 2026. The stock was up 10.3% at $12.88 after trading between $11.85 and $12.96, with about 4.5 million shares traded.

Johnson & Johnson stock today: JNJ nudges lower after $1.30 dividend as earnings loom

New York, January 2, 2026, 12:21 ET — Regular session Johnson & Johnson shares edged lower on Friday after the healthcare conglomerate declared its first-quarter dividend, leaving the stock little changed on the first trading day of 2026. Jnj The muted reaction reflects how investors use dividend announcements less as a surprise catalyst and more as a signal of steady cash returns, particularly for a large, widely held defensive name like J&J. That matters now because rate expectations often shape demand for dividend stocks: when investors expect rates to fall, a stable payout can look more attractive relative to safer

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

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

7 February 2026
New York, Feb 7, 2026, 02:50 EST — Market closed Rio Tinto’s U.S.-listed shares closed higher on Friday after the miner said it would not pursue a merger with Glencore, ending weeks of deal talk that had hung over the sector.
