JFrog stock sinks nearly 7% despite Barclays note on new Enterprise X price hike

JFrog stock sinks nearly 7% despite Barclays note on new Enterprise X price hike

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:31 ET — Regular session JFrog Ltd shares fell nearly 7% on Friday, extending a sharp pullback that took the DevOps software maker below $60 a share during the session. The decline matters because the stock has been treated as a “pricing power” story into year-end, a narrative that can fray quickly if broader software multiples come under pressure. It also comes at the very start of 2026, when investors tend to reset risk and rebalance portfolios. A fresh note from Barclays underscored that pricing lever. But the market reaction showed traders are still demanding

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 14:43 ET — Regular session Linde Plc shares rose 0.7% to $429.50 by early afternoon in New York on Friday, after trading between $422.34 and $429.50. The Nasdaq-listed industrial gases supplier opened at $426.28, with about 949,000 shares changing hands.

Linde’s gases flow into manufacturing and chemicals, and into hospitals, tying the stock to broad activity even when company news is light. U.S. stocks traded on a muted footing in the first session of the year,

Why Shopify stock is down today: Canadian court order keeps CRA data fight in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:43 ET — Regular session Shares of Shopify Inc (SHOP) slid about 1.8% to $158.08 in afternoon trading on Friday after a Canadian appeals court ordered the e-commerce company to retain data at the center of a dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency. CityNews Kitchener The order matters because it keeps a high-profile fight over platform data alive at a time when governments are pushing harder to audit online commerce.

AppLovin stock slides nearly 8% today as seven-day skid deepens from record high

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 14:41 ET — Regular session AppLovin Corp (APP.O) shares fell about 7.8% to $621.15 in afternoon trading on Friday, reversing an early rise in the first U.S. session of 2026. The stock opened at $683.50 and traded between $688.36 and $611.06, with about 4.4 million shares changing hands.

Klaviyo stock sinks in first 2026 session as software selloff bites KVYO

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:22 ET — Regular session Klaviyo, Inc. shares fell more than 8% on Friday afternoon, extending a pullback in software stocks in the first regular trading session of 2026. The stock was down 8.4% at $29.75 after moving between $32.46 and $29.64 on the day, according to market data. The move matters because investors are re-pricing rate-sensitive growth names at the start of the year, when positioning often resets and liquidity can thin out. For smaller software companies, that can amplify day-to-day swings. Software broadly lagged. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF fell about 3.1%,

Uber stock rises as UK VAT ‘taxi tax’ takes effect; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:30 ET — Regular session Uber Technologies (UBER.N) shares were up 0.9% at $82.48 on Friday afternoon. The move came as investors tracked a UK tax change affecting ride-hailing economics and Uber’s contract rewrite for drivers outside London. The Guardian The timing matters because the UK’s value-added tax (VAT) — a sales tax — can quickly change what riders pay and what drivers earn. Those two levers often decide whether ride-hailing platforms can grow volumes without giving up margins. The Guardian Britain said on Friday that private-hire vehicle operators in London can no longer use

Corcept Therapeutics (CORT) stock rebounds today after FDA setback — here’s what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 2:30 PM ET — Regular session Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated shares were up 5.7% at $36.77 on Friday afternoon, after a sharp selloff earlier in the week tied to a U.S. regulatory setback for its experimental drug relacorilant. The bounce matters because the FDA’s decision hit what investors had seen as a key growth driver beyond Corcept’s marketed therapy, and it reset expectations for how quickly relacorilant can reach patients in the company’s lead endocrine indication. A complete response letter is the FDA’s notice that a drug application cannot be approved as filed. For investors, it

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:20 ET — Regular session Shares of Exzeo Group Inc slid on Friday, down $1.89, or about 7.8%, at $22.36 in afternoon trading. The NYSE-listed stock traded between $22.25 and $24.18, with about 164,000 shares changing hands. The move stood out on a relatively calm tape, as U.S. equities wobbled into the first full session of 2026 and investors reset positioning after year-end.

Liquidia stock drops 8% today as put-option hedging spikes — what’s next for LQDANEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:24 ET — Regular session

Liquidia Corp shares slid about 8% in afternoon trade on Friday, giving back earlier gains and underperforming the broader biotech group. The stock was down $2.79 at $31.70, after trading between $30.76 and $34.97. Volume topped 1.88 million shares. The move matters because Liquidia has become a high-volatility bet on sales of Yutrepia, its inhaled treprostinil therapy for pulmonary hypertension. On its Nov. 3 earnings call, the company said third-quarter net product sales were $51.7 million, and chief operating officer and CFO Michael Kaseta told investors, “We expect this positive trend to extend into 2026.” Investing Liquidia entered 2026 after

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 2:26 PM ET — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares edged lower on Friday after a cluster of U.S. regulatory filings detailed year-end “phantom stock” transactions by senior executives. The stock was down 0.1% at $40.67 as of 2:26 p.m. ET, after trading between $40.32 and $40.90.

The stock was down about 8.5% at $15.55 as of 2:13 p.m. ET.
