CoreWeave stock jumps as insider sales hit tape and Wells Fargo trims target

CoreWeave stock jumps as insider sales hit tape and Wells Fargo trims target

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:52 EST — After-hours CoreWeave (CRWV) shares rose about 4% to $80.14 in late trading on Friday, after swinging between $75.57 and $81.48, as investors digested fresh insider-sale disclosures and a broker target cut. The filings matter for a stock that trades like a pure-play bet on AI computing demand. Insider selling can still jar sentiment — not because it is always a signal, but because it adds supply and forces investors to ask, again, what is priced in. The company, founded in 2017, runs cloud infrastructure aimed at AI workloads and listed on the
Coinbase stock slips after-hours as Bitcoin dips and BofA’s $340 call meets new copper futures plan

Coinbase stock slips after-hours as Bitcoin dips and BofA’s $340 call meets new copper futures plan

New York, January 9, 2026, 18:01 EST — After-hours Coinbase Global, Inc. shares slipped 1.9% in after-hours trading on Friday to $240.78, after ranging between $237.27 and $248.20 during the session. Bitcoin was down 0.8% near $90,486 and ether fell 1.2%, keeping pressure on crypto-linked stocks into the close. The moves come as investors weigh whether Coinbase can lean less on crypto spot trading, which can cool fast when prices fall. The company has started pushing into stock trading and event contracts — wagers on real-world outcomes — in a bid to pull more of retail trading under one roof,

Bloom Energy stock jumps after-hours as AEP filing confirms $2.65 billion fuel-cell buy

New York, January 9, 2026, 18:03 EST — After-hours Shares of Bloom Energy Corp jumped roughly 10% in after-hours trading Friday, last seen at $134.07. During the session, the stock fluctuated between $120.62 and $136.71, with volume surpassing 15 million shares. American Electric Power disclosed in a regulatory filing that an unregulated subsidiary entered an unconditional purchase agreement on Jan. 4 to buy a large portion of its option for solid oxide fuel cells, valued at roughly $2.65 billion. The filing also revealed a 20-year offtake deal with a “high investment grade” third-party customer, covering 100% of the output from

IREN stock steadies after-hours after Bernstein reiterates “top AI pick” view

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:55 EST — After-hours IREN Ltd shares edged higher in after-hours trading on Friday after a Bernstein analyst again flagged the company as a preferred way to play the overlap between bitcoin mining and AI data centers. The stock was up 0.7% at $46.03. The call matters because the trade in crypto-linked miners has been brittle, and anything that shifts expectations for bitcoin or data-center demand tends to hit the group fast. IREN has increasingly been valued by some investors less like a pure miner and more like a power-and-compute developer. That mix can cut

Constellation Energy (CEG) stock jumps after TD Cowen Buy call; Calpine deal back in focus

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:59 EST — After-hours Constellation Energy shares climbed 6.1% to $342.52 in after-hours trading on Friday, extending a late-week rally after TD Cowen initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $440 price target. The call landed as investors try to price a U.S. power market that is tightening again, with data-center buildouts pushing load forecasts higher. TD Cowen said Constellation could keep signing power contracts above forward market prices through 2026, and argued worries about “behind-the-meter” data-center power setups — on-site generation that can bypass the grid — look “overstated.” (Investing.com Canada) Constellation said

Applied Materials stock pops nearly 7% as chip rally returns — analysts lift targets

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 17:51 EST — After-hours Applied Materials shares surged almost 7% on Friday, closing at $301.18, and held a 6.9% gain in after-hours trading as semiconductor equipment stocks picked up steam heading into the weekend. Chip shares rallied broadly, fueled by a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that kept hopes alive for Federal Reserve rate cuts. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (.SOX) surged 2.7% to a fresh record, while Lam Research jumped 8.7% after Mizuho boosted its price target on the equipment maker. “Investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers,” said Zachary Hill, head of
Rocket Lab stock rebounds, holds after-hours bid as RKLB traders weigh insider sales and earnings clock

Rocket Lab stock rebounds, holds after-hours bid as RKLB traders weigh insider sales and earnings clock

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 17:36 EST — After-hours Rocket Lab Corp shares closed up 2.1% on Friday and were modestly higher in after-hours trading, as the space launch and satellite builder steadied after a choppy run. The stock ended the session at $84.85 and was around $85.12 in extended trade. (MarketBeat) The move matters because Rocket Lab’s rally has pulled more short-term money into the name, and the tape has started reacting to filings and calendar risk rather than new contracts. Rocket Lab stock is up about 200% over the past 12 months, Barron’s reported this week, putting execution

Robinhood (HOOD) stock in focus after Argus starts coverage with a $145 target; Barclays trims view

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:47 EST — After-hours Robinhood Markets (HOOD.O) shares dipped 0.1% in after-hours trading on Friday, even as Argus Research initiated coverage with a buy rating and a $145 price target. The stock was last at $115.27. (Moomoo News) The fresh rating lands as investors look for signs that retail trading demand is holding up into year-end and that newer products are adding steadier revenue. Robinhood has been pushing beyond core stock trading, which can swing sharply with market volatility. A day earlier, Barclays cut its price target on Robinhood to $159 from $171 and kept

Lumentum stock jolts again as Needham hikes target to $470 and Mizuho taps AI optics

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:31 EST — After-hours Lumentum Holdings Inc (LITE.O) bounced between $333 and $363 on Friday before settling up 0.9% at $351.42. In after-hours, the stock dipped roughly 0.4% to about $350, following Needham’s boost of its price target from $290 to $470, and a day after shares dropped 11.4%. (StockAnalysis) The tug-of-war is familiar now. Investors are eager to get a piece of the “pipes and picks” powering the AI buildout, and optical components remain a top target. Lumentum manufactures lasers and photonics components that shuttle data within and between large data centers. The real

Costco stock rises after December sales jump — what’s next for COST

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 17:17 EST — After-hours Costco Wholesale Corp (COST.O) shares were up about 1.1% in after-hours trading on Friday at $924.88, after moving between $911.43 and $929.66 earlier in the day. The move keeps attention on Costco’s monthly sales updates, which often land weeks ahead of its quarterly earnings and can nudge near-term expectations. December is the key holiday month, and it sits inside the company’s fiscal second quarter. Investors typically zero in on comparable sales — sales from locations open at least a year — because it strips out the noise of new store openings.

Vistra stock jumps after Meta signs 20-year nuclear power deal to feed AI data centers

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 17:13 EST — After-hours Vistra Corp (VST) shares rose 10.5% in after-hours trading on Friday after Meta Platforms said it struck 20-year agreements to buy power from three Vistra nuclear plants. Shares were at $166.37 after swinging between $150.83 and $178.40 earlier in the day. Meta also said it will work with Oklo and TerraPower on small modular reactors, or SMRs — smaller nuclear units meant to be built largely in factories. (Reuters) The deal lands as tech companies hunt for steady electricity to run data centers, where “always on” matters more than cheap power

Eli Lilly stock drops 2% as Zepbound arthritis data and Ventyx deal sink in

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 17:30 EST — After-hours Eli Lilly and Co shares fell nearly 2% on Friday, closing at $1,063.56, after swinging between about $1,063 and $1,104 in the session. The stock was little changed after hours. The pullback comes as the drugmaker’s stock cools off from a fresh 52-week high set on Thursday, with traders quick to lock in gains after a fast run. The broader market rose on the day, but Lilly logged a second straight decline and ended the session about 6% below that recent peak. (MarketWatch) The latest company catalyst landed late Thursday, when
