Nebius stock (NBIS) whipsaws after U.S. jobs report — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:32 EST — After-hours Nebius Group N.V. shares were last up about 0.6% at $97.93 in after-hours trading on Friday, after swinging as high as $104.94 and as low as $97.25 during the session. The late-day churn matters because Nebius sits in a corner of the market where sentiment can turn fast: high-growth, capital-hungry AI infrastructure. With the U.S. rate outlook still in flux, traders have been quick to press momentum and just as quick to take profits when the tape wobbles.

RTX stock alert: Trump’s buyback clampdown hangs over defense names as $130 mini-tender deadline nears

New York, January 9, 2026, 19:15 ET — After-hours RTX Corp shares rose about 0.7% to $188.50 in after-hours trade on Friday as investors kept sorting through a Trump administration order that could curb dividends and share buybacks at major defense contractors. (Reuters) The order matters because cash returns are a big part of the defense-stock pitch. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, L3Harris and RTX paid roughly $8 billion in dividends over the last 12 months and bought back about $10 billion of stock, Morgan Stanley data compiled by Reuters showed. Buybacks are when a company repurchases its own

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:08 EST — After-hours Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (TMO.N) shares climbed roughly 2% on Friday following a price target boost from Stifel, which called for a “solid year” ahead as biopharma demand picked up. The stock ended the day up $12.45, closing at $618.86. (GuruFocus) The timing is crucial.

New York, January 9, 2026, 19:01 EST — After-hours Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN.O) shares rose 13.2% to $7.29 on Friday after hitting an intraday high of $7.91. The stock traded about 167 million shares. The move followed President Donald Trump’s order for $200 billion of mortgage bond purchases; Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte said Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would execute the buys. TD Cowen wrote the buying could narrow the gap between the 30-year mortgage rate and the 10-year Treasury yield, while Jefferies pegged the rate needed to bring buyers back in the mid- to high-5% range

Chevron stock rises after-hours as Venezuela talks keep CVX in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 18:27 (ET) — After-hours Chevron (CVX) shares rose about 1.8% on Friday and last traded at $162.11 in after-hours dealings. The stock ranged from $159.48 to $162.69 during the session. The move comes as investors weigh a possible shift in U.S. policy toward Venezuela that could directly affect Chevron, which is the only U.S. oil major still operating there under a sanctions carve-out. Reuters reported on Wednesday that Chevron is in talks with the U.S. government to expand the license, potentially allowing it to increase crude exports to its own refineries and sell barrels to

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. (Reuters) Defense names have swung sharply as traders try to net

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 18:42 EST — After-hours Exxon Mobil Corporation shares rose in after-hours trading on Friday after CEO Darren Woods said the company was ready to evaluate a return to Venezuela, where Exxon left after its assets were nationalized nearly two decades ago.

Exxon stock was up 1.4% at $124.61, after trading between $122.31 and $124.86. (Reuters) The shift matters because it puts Venezuela — and its oil contracts — back on the map

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. The stock fluctuated between $174.89 and $182.20 during the day. (TipRanks) The call is gaining weight as the market shifts to viewing Qualcomm like a phone stock again. 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.

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 18:38 EST The S&P 500 closed at a record on Friday as Broadcom and other chip stocks kept Wall Street climbing after a softer-than-expected U.S. jobs report.
