Praxis Precision Medicines (PRAX) stock jumps after Devinsky hire as FDA filings loom

New York, January 14, 2026, 14:54 EST — During regular session Shares of Praxis Precision Medicines jumped roughly 8% on Wednesday, bucking the weaker trend in the broader market.

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 15:10 EST — Regular session Pfizer Inc shares climbed about 2% to $25.65 on Wednesday following CEO Albert Bourla’s remarks on the company’s push into the rapidly expanding cash-pay obesity drug market. “We are all in on obesity,” Bourla told reporters at the J.P.

Sasol stock jumps 6% as oil climbs and South Africa tariff talks heat up

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 14:40 EST — Regular session Sasol Limited’s U.S.-listed shares jumped roughly 6.4% to $7.52 on Wednesday, hitting $7.53 at one point—marking their best level in at least a year.

Constellation Software stock tumbles to new 52-week low as investors question acquisition-led growth

Toronto, Jan 14, 2026, 14:48 EST Shares of Constellation Software dropped 6.3% to C$3,008.19 by 2:45 p.m. EST Wednesday, having earlier touched a fresh 52-week low of C$3,001.11 in Toronto, according to market data. https://www.investing.com/equities/constellation-software-inc The decline puts the TSX heavyweight roughly 43% under its 52-week peak, yet it still carries a hefty valuation for a firm defined by frequent acquisitions. Constellation’s market cap stood near C$68 billion. https://stockanalysis.com/quote/tsx/CSU/ The drop is significant since Constellation ranks among Canada’s most closely watched “buy-and-build” software companies.
