Lockheed Martin stock jumps on Truist upgrade as Trump payout order keeps defense names volatile

New York, January 9, 2026, 18:50 (EST) — After-hours Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT) shares rose 4.7% to $542.92 on Friday, extending a rebound in U.S. defense stocks after Truist upgraded the company to “Buy.” (Wall Street Journal) The move matters now because Washington has put shareholder payouts in the firing line. President Donald Trump has pledged to block dividends and share buybacks — where companies repurchase their own stock — at defense contractors until they speed up weapons production, a stance that can reshape how investors value the group.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 18:53 EST — After-hours QUALCOMM Incorporated shares dropped 2.25% to $177.78 on Friday, following Mizuho’s downgrade and a price target cut to $175 from $200.

Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh downgraded QCOM to Neutral, citing handset headwinds and a loss of Apple share. He pointed out that handsets make up more than 70% of Qualcomm’s chip revenue.

Rocket Companies stock jumps nearly 10% as Trump’s $200 billion mortgage-bond move sparks housing rally

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 18:26 EST — After-hours Rocket Companies (RKT.N) shares closed up 9.65% at $23.29 on Friday, after a sharp housing-linked rally tied to President Donald Trump’s call for large mortgage-bond purchases. The stock touched $23.41 in the session and was little changed in after-hours trading. (Nasdaq) The move matters because Rocket’s business swings with mortgage rates and loan volume. When rates fall, refinancing can thaw quickly and purchase activity tends to follow, even if the pickup comes in fits and starts. Trump’s plan put rates back in focus. Housing has been squeezed by high borrowing costs

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 18:13 EST — After-hours Boeing shares jumped $7.04, or 3.1%, to $234.53 in after-hours trading Friday, after the Federal Aviation Administration gave the 737 MAX 10 the green light to enter its second phase of flight testing, according to a source familiar with the program. The MAX 10, Boeing’s largest 737 model, holds over 1,200 orders and battles Airbus’s A321neo in the market.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 18:18 EST — After-hours Shares of GE Vernova Inc (GEV) fell about 0.9% in after-hours trading on Friday after Baird downgraded the power and grid equipment maker, warning that fresh competition could cool a market investors have treated as supply-tight. The stock was last at about $622.50, after swinging between $612.06 and $640.21 during the session. The downgrade matters now because a big slice of the bull case has been pricing power — the idea that utilities and data center-led demand will keep turbine and grid gear scarce enough to hold up margins.
