New York, January 9, 2026, 12:13 EST — Regular session AST SpaceMobile shares rose about 11% to $100.66 on Friday, paring part of a sharp, two-day slide and climb that has kept the stock on traders’ screens.

Mastercard stock slips as Apple taps JPMorgan for Apple Card — and keeps Mastercard network

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 12:23 (EST) — Regular session Mastercard shares slipped on Friday after Apple and JPMorgan Chase said Chase will become the new issuer of Apple Card, a deal that keeps Mastercard as the card’s payment network. Shares were down about 0.2% at $578.98 in midday trading. For Mastercard, the headline is the network slot. The “payment network” is the rails that carry a card transaction from a merchant to a bank, and it typically earns fees tied to each swipe or tap.

Why Mirion Technologies stock is jumping today as Meta’s nuclear deals jolt the sector

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:02 EST — Regular session Mirion Technologies (NYSE:MIR) shares rose on Friday, moving with a wider run-up in nuclear-related names after Meta Platforms announced long-term nuclear power agreements linked to its data center buildout.
