Northrop Grumman stock jumps nearly 5% as Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense-budget talk reshapes the trade

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:48 EST — Market closed Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC) shares ended Friday up 4.7% at $618.82, after swinging between $578.00 and $619.60 on the day. U.S. markets are closed on Saturday. The jump capped a volatile week for big defense contractors after U.S. President Donald Trump said the 2027 U.S. military budget should be $1.5 trillion, well above the $901 billion Congress approved for 2026. RBC Capital Markets analysts led by Ken Herbert said that could “offset negative investor sentiment” but “there is significant uncertainty” around the final defense budget.

Vistra stock jumps after Meta signs 20-year nuclear power deal — what matters next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 05:38 EST — Market closed Vistra Corp shares jumped 10.5% on Friday and closed at $166.37 after the U.S. power producer said it signed long-term nuclear power contracts with Meta Platforms. (StockAnalysis) The deal lands as Big Tech hunts steady electricity for data centers, a scramble Meta says is being driven by artificial intelligence and rising power use. “It will make Meta one of the most significant corporate purchasers of nuclear energy in American history,” Joel Kaplan, Meta’s chief global affairs officer, said. (Reuters) Meta said its agreements with Vistra, TerraPower and Oklo are expected

AMC stock pops 13% on a volume spike as options heat up and a Feb. 2 stock-sale window nears

New York, January 10, 2026, 05:30 ET — Market closed AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc’s shares surged 13.1% to $1.64 on Friday, beating other movie-theater stocks amid heavy volume. About 71.6 million shares changed hands, nearly triple the 50-day average of 22.5 million. Still, AMC remains about 60% below its 52-week high of $4.08. (MarketWatch) Why it matters now: AMC is stuck close to its 12-month low, trading well beneath major moving averages that momentum investors track. According to MarketBeat data, the stock sits under its 50-day moving average of $2.07 and its 200-day average of $2.64. Notably, Friday’s session saw

NovaBay stock more than doubles as microcap swings widen; warrants in focus ahead of CPI

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:29 EST — Market closed NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Inc (NBY) shares surged 102.5% on Friday, closing at $19.16 after swinging between $9.69 and $19.95 during the session. Roughly 10 million shares traded, pushing the stock to a new 52-week high. (StockAnalysis) This move is significant because such rapid shifts can draw in momentum traders—and then reverse just as quickly. NovaBay trades thinly and has undergone restructuring through asset sales and financing, making its price more reactive to trading flows than to daily operational news. An October regulatory filing revealed the company sold roughly $6 million in

Applied Materials stock jumps to $301 as Wall Street lifts targets — what matters before Monday

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:30 EST — The market has closed. Applied Materials (AMAT.O) jumped 6.9% on Friday, closing at $301.18 following a new wave of bullish price-target upgrades from Wall Street analysts. The chip-equipment maker’s shares hit a high of $302.70 and dipped to a low of $280 during the session. The notes come at a sensitive time for the group: investors are wrestling with whether chipmakers will maintain heavy spending into 2026 after last year’s surge in anything connected to data centers. Applied, which sells equipment for chip manufacturing, often sees its order trends lead the broader

Intel stock surges 11% after Trump meeting — what investors watch before earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 05:30 EST — Market closed Intel (INTC.O) shares surged nearly 11% on Friday, closing at $45.55 after U.S. President Donald Trump said he had a “great meeting” with Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan. Trading was heavy, with about 187 million shares changing hands. (Reuters) The move capped a sharp week for Intel, with the stock up about 15.7% and at its highest close since March 2024, as traders latched onto CES chip headlines and fresh political attention. Some analysts, though, questioned how much of the push was institutional money versus retail momentum. (MarketWatch) That matters now

ASML stock jumps on HSBC target lift, TSMC revenue beat; next test is Jan 28 earnings

AMSTERDAM, Jan 10, 2026, 11:04 CET — Market closed ASML Holding N.V. shares surged Friday, propelled by HSBC’s raised price target. The Dutch chip equipment giant led gains in Europe’s tech sector. Meanwhile, strong revenue from major client Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co helped boost confidence across chip stocks. (Reuters) The move follows investor attempts to gauge if the recent spike in data centre and AI chip spending will carry over into 2026 tool orders. ASML’s equipment is crucial in advanced chipmaking — manufacturers can’t shrink feature sizes without its lithography tools. That makes the stock vulnerable to even minor changes

Visa stock slips toward $350 as proxy-season filings hit ahead of annual meeting

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:05 EST — Market closed Visa Inc shares closed down 0.7% on Friday at $349.77, leaving the stock about 7% below its 52-week high, after a shareholder filing pushed a fresh proposal into focus ahead of the company’s annual meeting. (Visa Investor Relations) The filing matters because it lands in the narrow window when big funds start sizing up proxy ballots and headline risk can whipsaw a steady, “defensive growth” name like Visa. It also comes after two straight down sessions for the stock, at a time when investors have been quick to fade anything

Apple Card switches banks: JPMorgan replaces Goldman in a two-year handoff

NEW YORK, January 10, 2026, 04:15 EST JPMorgan Chase will become the new issuer of Apple Card, taking over the program from Goldman Sachs in a handover expected to take about 24 months. The bank said the purchase would bring more than $20 billion of card balances onto its Chase platform and trigger a $2.2 billion provision for credit losses — money set aside for borrowers who may not pay — in its fourth-quarter 2025 results.

New York, January 10, 2026, 04:59 EST — Market closed Oklo Inc shares jumped 7.9% on Friday, wrapping up at $105.31. The surge came after Meta Platforms threw its support behind a 1.2-gigawatt nuclear power campus in Ohio, linked to its expanding data-center operations. Big Tech is rushing to lock in reliable power as data centers and AI drive up electricity demand, shifting companies toward long-term supply deals that resemble infrastructure financing rather than straightforward power purchases. Meta has signed 20-year contracts to buy nuclear energy from Vistra plants and said its total agreements might deliver up to 6.6 gigawatts
