AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) stock ends near highs after a wild swing — what to watch before Friday

New York, January 29, 2026, 20:55 EST — The market has closed. Shares of AST SpaceMobile, Inc. ended Thursday up 0.7%, closing at $122.09 after fluctuating between $113.40 and $123.52 during the session, according to market data. Trading volume hit roughly 13.3 million shares. The stock’s moves are significant now because it serves as a high-beta proxy for “direct-to-device” satellite connectivity — the idea that regular phones can link directly to low-orbit satellites without extra gear. As the next launch milestone nears, even slight changes in confidence are triggering large swings in the tape. Wednesday set the tone. AST SpaceMobile

Trane Technologies stock jumps 8% after earnings beat as record backlog, 2026 outlook take spotlight

New York, Jan 29, 2026, 20:54 EST — Market closed Trane Technologies plc (TT) shares jumped $31.61, roughly 8%, to $426.07 following Thursday’s close. The heating and cooling equipment maker unveiled its quarterly earnings and shared its outlook through 2026. This matters going into Friday’s session since Trane’s order trends are seen as a gauge for commercial building demand and major project spending, not just a standalone company report. Earlier Thursday, a regulatory filing revealed the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year results. (SEC) Trane reported a 22% rise in organic bookings for the quarter, excluding currency fluctuations and acquisitions, with its

Palo Alto Networks stock drops after Chronosphere deal closes, with earnings next in focus

New York, January 29, 2026, 20:54 EST — Market closed. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. shares dropped Thursday following the completion of its acquisition of Chronosphere, a provider of observability platforms. The stock ended the day down 4.8% at $174.85 and was last seen at $176.20 in after-hours trading. (Yahoo Finance) The timing is crucial as Palo Alto ramps up its focus on “platform” sales — encouraging customers to opt for fewer, more comprehensive bundles over individual point tools. Recent M&A activity shines a spotlight on this strategy just ahead of Friday’s trading session. Chronosphere operates in “observability,” a sector focused

Eli Lilly stock barely budges after $1.93bn autoimmune pact; Trump touts six U.S. plants

New York, January 29, 2026, 20:46 (EST) — Market closed. Eli Lilly shares ended little changed on Thursday after the drugmaker lined up another research collaboration, this time in autoimmune disease. The stock closed up 0.03% at $1,024.14, as Wall Street finished mixed. (MarketWatch) The timing matters because Lilly’s stock has become a proxy for how long the boom in new obesity and diabetes medicines can last, and whether the company can widen out from that core. Deals that add shots on goal — even early ones — can move the debate on growth, especially heading into an earnings week.

Newmont (NEM) stock drops nearly 4% as gold whipsaws from record highs — what to watch next

New York, Jan 29, 2026, 20:57 EST — The market has closed. Newmont Corp (NEM) shares dropped 3.8% Thursday, closing at $126.93 after fluctuating between $123.68 and $134.70. The stock showed little movement in after-hours trading. Volume hit roughly 15.1 million shares, while Royal Gold slipped 3.1%. (MarketWatch) The slide is significant since miners have been acting like a leveraged bet on gold’s January rally, and the sell-off can accelerate quickly if bullion drops. With U.S. markets closed until Friday, attention now turns to whether Thursday’s metal move sticks. Spot gold — the cash price — took a sharp tumble,

New York, January 29, 2026, 20:58 ET — Market closed Southwest Airlines Co shares surged 18.7% Thursday, closing at $48.50 after sinking to $42.80 earlier in the session. The rally came on the back of a bullish 2026 profit outlook linked to its move toward paid seating and additional fees. The stock wrapped up trading close to its intraday peak.

New York, January 29, 2026, 20:49 EST — Market closed. Shares of Shopify Inc gained 3.4% on Thursday, finishing at $143.64 following a volatile session where prices dipped to $137.43 before climbing to a high of $144.14.

Joby Aviation stock slides after $1.2 billion deal; dilution and hedging now in focus

Joby Aviation stock slides after $1.2 billion deal; dilution and hedging now in focus

New York, Jan 29, 2026, 20:42 EST — Market closed Joby Aviation shares fell sharply on Thursday, dropping 16.8% to $11.14. The electric air taxi maker unveiled a bigger-than-anticipated fundraising deal, introducing more stock and a new tranche of convertible debt. Timing is key as Joby continues investing to certify and produce its aircraft. New funding stretches the runway but dilutes existing shareholders and might attract short-term hedge flows betting against the stock. Investors often lash out at early-stage aerospace companies that aggressively tap markets, even if the reasons are clear: costs for certification, factories, and prepping for commercial service

United Rentals stock slides 13% after earnings miss — here’s what traders watch next

New York, Jan 29, 2026, 19:45 EST — After-hours Shares of United Rentals dropped almost 13% on Thursday, slipping to $787.04 in after-hours trading. The equipment rental giant missed earnings estimates for the quarter and released its forecast for 2026. The move is significant since United Rentals serves as a key indicator for equipment demand in construction and industrial sectors. With U.S. rates remaining elevated and project owners cautious about timing, investors swiftly react to any sign that pricing power or utilization might be faltering. The results came late in the week, creating a timing challenge for markets. The stock’s
