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

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

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.

Walmart stock pops after AI board pick — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 17:31 EST — After-hours Walmart Inc shares rose 1.3% on Friday and were last up at $114.53 in late after-hours trading, after the retailer announced a new board appointment that underscored its push to put more technology at the center of the business. The move matters now because investors are leaning hard into the “Walmart as a tech company” pitch — e-commerce, advertising and automation — even as a slower economy puts more pressure on low-price retailers. A board seat is not an operating change, but it signals what the company wants more of. The

AppLovin stock jumps 5% as Wells Fargo lifts target to $735

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:33 EST — After-hours AppLovin Corp shares rose about 5% on Friday to close at $647.72, after swinging between $612.65 and $649.51. The stock was little changed in after-hours trading, with traders marking the day’s low as near-term support and the $650 area as the next resistance. The move matters now because the stock has become a pressure point into the next earnings update, with investors looking for any read on ad budgets early in 2026. AppLovin has also been one of the market’s more volatile ad-tech names, so even routine analyst tweaks can get

Home Depot stock jumps 4% on jobs report, Trump mortgage-bond plan — what Wall Street watches next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 17:25 ET — After-hours Shares of Home Depot (HD) climbed 4.2% on Friday, closing at $374.64, boosted by strength in housing-related stocks following weaker U.S. jobs data and news on declining mortgage rates. The stock fluctuated between $360.58 and $375.43, with about 7.0 million shares changing hands. Lowe’s, its rival, also jumped 4.3%. This move is significant because Home Depot’s sales closely follow housing turnover and large remodel projects, both slowed down by high borrowing costs. In December, CFO Richard McPhail said on an investor call that the company had “not yet seen a catalyst

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 17:03 (EST) — After-hours AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) shares rose 7.9% on Friday and were flat after the bell, after Bank of America lifted its price target to $100 from $85 while keeping a Neutral rating. The stock hit $101.68 before closing at $97.67. (StockAnalysis) The move puts the spotlight back on a stock that traders have been treating as a fast, high-risk way to play “direct-to-device” service — satellites connecting straight to standard smartphones, no special handsets. AST says it is building its BlueBird satellite constellation and is targeting service beginning in 2026 through agreements
