Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) sinks post-holiday; Toyota partnership triggers funding after insider sale headlines

Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) sinks post-holiday; Toyota partnership triggers funding after insider sale headlines

Joby comes into Monday after dropping 3.96% to $8.49 before the U.S. holiday. After-hours ticked up to $8.51. Volume spiked to 56.18 million, well over the 65-day average of 32.86 million, according to MarketWatch. Short interest and Toyota paperwork are in play. The latest filing data looks clearer than what the headline suggests. Seven Rule 144 filings on July 2 involved shares picked up July 1 as restricted stock units from Joby’s 2021 incentive plan. All together, these sales planned for about $563,851 — a small amount for the market, and even smaller compared to Joby’s 983.6 million shares out.

Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock trades at 43 times sales as holiday week begins

Palantir (PLTR) pops 14.5% in holiday week, AI trade shows fresh signs

Palantir finished the short holiday week with a 14.5% gain from June 26 to Thursday's close, outpacing the 6.1% move in the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF. The stock acted more like it was moving on its own news than just following the AI software group. NVIDIA Corp., now teaming with Palantir on sovereign AI work, added 1.2% in the same stretch. Palantir’s four-day average volume this week came in at 49.7 million shares, about 9.4% higher than MarketWatch’s 65-day norm of 45.47 million. That’s not light, but it’s nowhere near a frenzy either. Whether the rally can attract more post-holiday volume will get tested when trading resumes Monday.

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) shares swing as shorts, cash take focus before Denmark project

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) shares swing as shorts, cash take focus before Denmark project

Plug Power Inc. closed at $2.64 ahead of the U.S. holiday, giving the hydrogen fuel-cell and electrolyzer company a market cap around $3.67 billion. With the Nasdaq and NYSE both closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday, Thursday’s close is still the last available read on PLUG ahead of Monday’s open. Churn was the main signal last week, not direction. Plug moved 209.2 million shares in four sessions, which is about a normal four-day run, but shares gained just 10 cents over the previous Friday. Volume was about 62% of the short interest from the most recent update.

Verizon (VZ) draws outsized selling as Dow laggard

Verizon (VZ) draws outsized selling as Dow laggard

U.S. stock markets were closed Friday, July 3, for Independence Day. For Verizon Communications Inc., Thursday marked the last cash-market close. The NYSE shows July 3 as the observed 2026 Independence Day holiday. The drop isn’t the only story here. Verizon was dropped from the Dow Jones Industrial Average after S&P Dow Jones Indices said its low share price meant the stock made up just half a percent of the price-weighted index. Over the next four sessions, Verizon traded 232.1 million shares, sliding 8.6%. That’s a big swing for a stock just called “almost immaterial” to the Dow.

Apple’s $210B foldable iPhone rally faces Fed, earnings hurdles

Apple’s $210B foldable iPhone rally faces Fed, earnings hurdles

U.S. markets were closed Friday for Independence Day. Apple Inc. wrapped the week with Thursday’s close at $308.63, up 4.84%. Reuters said Nikkei Asia reported Apple has plans for five new iPhone models. For the week, Apple rose 8.76%. That compares with a 2.1% gain in the Nasdaq Composite. The move was less about direction, more about how big it was. Apple’s latest rally tacked on around $210 billion in market cap in a single day. Nikkei Asia, via MacRumors, reported Apple asked suppliers to get ready for 10 million foldable iPhones this year, up from an earlier plan for 7 million to 8 million units. The same story quotes IDC on an average price of $2,500 for the foldable.

Boeing 747-8F: FAA order points to a tight freighter market, not just inspection costs

Boeing 747-8F: FAA order points to a tight freighter market, not just inspection costs

The U.S. FAA is calling for checks on some Boeing Co 747-8F freighters, asking airlines to look for cracks in fuselage stringers and splice fittings. It’s a limited safety order, but shows how four-engine passenger jumbos are on their way out, even as large nose-loading freighters stay in demand. This directive covers 11 planes registered in the U.S. and flagged by Boeing’s alert bulletin, and kicks in Aug. 6. The direct cash bill is small. FAA estimates put the work at 124 hours for the radius-filler inspection and 244 hours for the cracking check, at $85 per hour. That means $31,280 in inspection costs for each plane, or $344,080 for all 11 U.S. planes.

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) heads into July 22 margin test after big Q2 inventory dip

U.S. markets were closed Friday for the Independence Day break and will stay shut on Sunday. That gives Tesla holders the weekend to digest the stock’s sudden turnaround before Monday’s session. Both the Nasdaq and NYSE were closed on July 3—since July 4 was a Saturday this year in 2026. Tesla finished Thursday at $393.45, dropping 7.5% after its delivery numbers topped analyst estimates by a lot. Shares had climbed earlier—starting at $379.71 on June 26 and ending up 3.6% higher by Thursday’s close, according to Investing.com data.

Nokia Oyj (HEL:NOKIA) trades up on low volume, trails OMXH25 ahead of Q2 order figures

Nasdaq Helsinki is closed for the weekend. The focus isn’t on Friday’s bounce. Traders now want to see if Nokia Oyj can turn that broker-driven rebound into something stronger before second-quarter results hit July 23. Nokia finished Friday at 11.17 euros, up 3.57% after hitting its session high right at the close. Still, shares dropped 1.93% over the week. OMX Helsinki 25 gained 1.57% Friday and 2.03% for the week, putting Nokia 3.96 points behind the benchmark.

OMAHA, Nebraska, July 5, 2026, 10:07 CDT Berkshire Hathaway set the number on Warren Buffett’s latest market caution: $373.5 billion.

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) jumps on volume after pressure from shorts

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) keeps holiday-week gain as volume runs strong ahead of Q2 results

SoFi Technologies, Inc. starts the July 6 week setting up better than its day-to-day move suggested. Shares slipped 1.08% Thursday to $18.24, but still managed a 2.0% gain over the short week leading up to the Independence Day break. The bigger story was volume. From June 29 to July 2, SoFi moved 313.7 million shares—78.4 million daily on average and about 10% higher than its 65-day norm of 71.3 million. Thursday’s session saw 81.4 million shares traded. That’s notable since SoFi’s volume held up when overall trading slowed. U.S. exchange volume on Thursday was 19.92 billion shares, under the 20-day average of 23.34 billion. The Nasdaq Composite lost 0.8%, the S&P 500 finished barely changed, and the Dow added 1.14%. For the week, the Nasdaq climbed 2.1% and the S&P 500 was up 1.8%. SoFi tracked close to the broader tech index and outpaced the S&P.

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) climbs on delivery numbers in holiday week

Rivian Automotive Inc heads into Monday trading up after the stock gained $1.45 on July 2. With 1.26 billion shares outstanding, that added around $1.8 billion in market cap after the company lifted its 2026 delivery midpoint by 3,000 vehicles. That works out to about $609,000 in added value per vehicle in the updated forecast—a rough figure, but one that puts a number on whether R2 volume targets might turn into profit. U.S. stock markets were closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday. Regular Nasdaq trading hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern on weekdays.

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock sees quick turnover as traders exit ahead of Q2 results

Markets in the U.S. were closed Friday for Independence Day observed, so the latest Intel Corporation quote comes from Thursday’s session. Both Nasdaq and NYSE calendars show a full-day holiday for July 3, 2026, as well. Intel shares slid 5.25% to $120.35 Thursday, but the bigger message was how much stock is trading versus Intel’s market cap. The company moved around $15.0 billion of stock by notional value that day—basically matching Advanced Micro Devices Inc, even though AMD has about $240 billion more in market cap.

Opendoor Technologies Inc. goes into Monday with maybe the simplest trade read after a holiday-shortened week. Shares jumped 12.1% in four sessions after the Russell 3000 inclusion took effect. Volume came in at about 43% of public float. The index move gave the stock a boost, but there was selling around $5 and heavy churn on the tape. U.S. stock markets did not open Friday, July 3, for the Independence Day holiday.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) valuation gap grows after $119 billion supply test strains AI dip buyers

Nvidia is turning into a tough megacap for investors. The numbers keep coming in strong, but the stock price says traders want more proof the rally can continue. Shares were last at $194.83, down 1.5% from the previous close. Market cap comes in near $4.75 trillion. A recent Motley Fool article distributed by Yahoo noted the stock is up 5% for the year. The S&P 500 rose almost 10% over the same time. It’s been a weak showing for a company after posting record quarterly revenue.

Trump $TRUMP memecoin wallet sent out $636 million, outpacing buyer profits

Trump $TRUMP memecoin wallet sent out $636 million, outpacing buyer profits

Trump’s $TRUMP coin left tracked buyers with about $236 million net gains, based on Nansen wallet-level data. His own annual disclosure showed $636 million in income from the coin. So the promoter take was nearly 2.7 times the net investor gains, buried in the boom-bust numbers. The losses hit a wide group. Data from Nansen in recent reports pointed to 988,905 wallets in the red by the end of June. That’s about two-thirds of wallets that bought the token. The total counts both sellers who locked in a loss and holders showing paper losses. Based on the numbers, the average wallet was down around $3,850. Trump’s reported $636 million is about $643 per losing wallet.
