Nvidia stock barely budges after H200 China payment reset; Lilly AI lab plan in focus

Plug Power stock ticks up in premarket as UBS conference meetings put strategy back in focus

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 08:36 EST — Premarket Plug Power shares rose about 1% to $2.31 in premarket trading on Tuesday, after the hydrogen fuel cell maker said it would meet investors at a UBS energy conference.

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 07:44 EST — Premarket Shares of Wheels Up Experience Inc climbed once more ahead of Tuesday’s open, continuing a choppy streak that nudged the budget stock nearer to the $1 mark. Early premarket action showed a roughly 17% gain, with shares trading at $1.17.
