SELLAS (SLS) stock jumps about 10% in premarket as REGAL AML trial milestone stays in focus

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:03 ET — Premarket SELLAS Life Sciences Group (SLS) shares rose about 10% in U.S. premarket trading on Friday to $4.14, after gaining 13.9% in the prior regular session. Early trading ranged between $4.13 and $4.32. Public+1 The move matters because SELLAS’ valuation hinges on a single late-stage cancer study, and timing signals can drive sharp swings in small-cap biotech stocks. Investors have been trading around when the company will reach its next, predefined trial milestone — a threshold that determines when researchers can run the final analysis. On Dec. 29, SELLAS said its contract

SoFi stock price today: SOFI slips in premarket as rate-cut bets set the tone for fintechs

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:03 ET — Premarket SoFi Technologies (SOFI) shares fell 1.4% to $26.18 in premarket trading on Friday, after closing at $26.56 in the prior session. The move comes as investors return for the first U.S. session of 2026 with risk appetite still holding up, after Reuters reported S&P 500 futures up 0.6% and Nasdaq futures up 1% in early moves.

TeraWulf stock climbs in premarket after KBW upgrade, $24 target; bitcoin near $89,000

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:02 ET — Premarket TeraWulf Inc (WULF) shares rose 2.9% to $11.49 in premarket trading, lifting off a previous close of $11.17. The move puts the spotlight back on bitcoin-linked stocks at the start of 2026, after analysts argued the market is still struggling to price miners that are trying to become data-center operators. That shift matters now because high-performance computing (HPC) — data centers that rent power, space and cooling for intensive workloads such as artificial intelligence — tends to offer longer-dated, contracted revenue than bitcoin mining. It also requires heavy upfront spending and

Tencent stock jumps in Hong Kong on AI-fueled tech rally; buyback filing in focus

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:03 ET — Premarket Tencent Holdings Ltd (0700.HK) shares rose 4.0% in Hong Kong on Friday, riding a technology-led rally that kicked off 2026 on a strong note. FT Markets The move matters because Tencent is one of the sector’s main bellwethers, and investors have started the year leaning back into China’s artificial intelligence (AI) trade after a late-2025 rebound in Hong Kong tech shares. Tencent closed at HK$623.00, up HK$24.00 on the day, after trading between HK$600.50 and HK$624.50, according to FT data. The stock is about 9% below its 52-week high of HK$683,

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 04:55 ET — Premarket Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR.O) shares fell 1.7% to $177.75 in premarket trading on Friday. Premarket is trading before the 9:30 a.m. ET opening bell, when liquidity can be thinner. The move came as a new year opened with a firmer tone across broader markets, with S&P 500 futures up 0.6% and Nasdaq futures up 1% as investors weighed whether the AI-led rally of 2025 can hold up to policy and data shocks.

Nebius (NBIS) stock dips in premarket as Wall Street kicks off 2026 — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 04:52 ET — Premarket Nebius Group N.V. shares were down about 1.7% at $83.71 in premarket trading on Friday, compared with a prior close near $85.15. The early move comes as traders return from the New Year holiday with a fresh set of macro cross-currents, and with the market’s “AI trade” still a key driver of risk-taking. Reuters That matters for Nebius because the company is tied to the AI infrastructure buildout — capital-intensive work that tends to trade on confidence in demand, financing conditions and delivery execution.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 04:50 ET Diageo shares were little changed at about 1,602 pence in early London trade on Friday, keeping the FTSE 100 spirits maker near the bottom of its 52-week range at the start of 2026.

Bitcoin was up about 1.5% at $89,038.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 04:30 ET — Premarket Broadcom Inc shares were last down 1.1% at $346.10, after closing out 2025 about 16.5% below their 52-week high. The stock, which gained about 49% in 2025, is one of the market’s biggest AI infrastructure bellwethers.
