Kymera Therapeutics stock slides nearly 7% after CEO share-sale filing — what KYMR investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:39 ET — Regular session Kymera Therapeutics Inc (KYMR.O) shares fell nearly 7% on Friday afternoon after a regulatory filing disclosed a year-end sale by Chief Executive Nello Mainolfi. Kymera was down 6.9% at $72.42, after earlier touching $72.18. The move matters because Kymera has become a high-sensitivity biotech name, with investor expectations tied closely to clinical progress for its experimental immunology drug KT-621. In that setup, insider selling can test sentiment, even when the transactions are scheduled in advance. Friday’s drop stood out against a steadier tape. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) was

The drop matters because investors are starting the year with fresh sensitivity to valuation—how much they are paying for a dollar of earnings—after a strong 2025 run left many stocks priced for good news.

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 3:19 PM ET — Regular session Dyne Therapeutics shares fell about 6% on Friday, giving back earlier gains in a volatile first session of 2026 for some biotech names. The Nasdaq-listed stock was down 6.1% at $18.36 in afternoon trading, after touching $20.90 at the high and $18.13 at the low. The move matters because it pulls Dyne back toward the $18.44 price of its December share sale, a reference point traders often watch after a dilutive financing. Dyne said that offering raised about $402.5 million in gross proceeds. The broader tape offered little help.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 3:14 PM ET — Regular session Shares of Lumentum Holdings Inc (LITE) rose 4.3% to $384.31 in afternoon trading on Friday, extending a strong run in AI-linked optical hardware names. The stock has traded between $374.87 and $391.92 so far in the session. The move matters because Lumentum is closely tied to cloud and data-center spending, where investors have been quick to reward suppliers seen as exposed to the build-out of AI computing. With 2026 getting underway, traders are testing whether last year’s risk appetite is still intact — especially in growth stocks that tend

Neptune Insurance (NP) stock drops 4% in 2026’s first session as risk appetite cools

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:01 ET — Regular session Neptune Insurance Holdings Inc (NYSE: NP) shares fell about 4% to $27.99 in afternoon trading on Friday, underperforming the broader market in the first U.S. session of 2026.

Nebius stock jumps about 7% as chips rally in first U.S. session of 2026 (NBIS)

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:09 ET — Regular session Shares of Nebius Group N.V. were up 7.4% at $89.91 on Friday afternoon, extending a rebound in AI infrastructure-linked stocks as chip names led the market. The move matters because Nebius is widely seen as a high-beta proxy for demand for graphics processing units, or GPUs — chips used to train and run artificial intelligence models. When investors lean into AI hardware, smaller infrastructure suppliers often swing harder. Friday was the first full U.S. trading session of 2026, with traders recalibrating risk after last year’s gains and turning to early-year

The stock opened at $184.81 and swung between $186.99 and $177.23; about 4.1 million shares had traded.
