Spotify stock slips as analysts trim targets and video podcast push hits the tape

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:37 EST — Regular session Spotify Technology S.A. shares were down 2.1% at $542.20 in New York trading on Friday, easing even as the Nasdaq 100 tracking ETF rose about 0.8%. The stock was last down $11.48 from Thursday’s close of $553.68. (https://www.google.com/finance/quote/SPOT%3ANYSE?hl=en) Moves like this matter because analysts are still reshuffling expectations for Spotify’s next stretch of growth. Price targets are Wall Street’s estimates of where a stock could trade over the next 12 months, and the latest trims show more caution around 2026 numbers. Spotify is leaning harder into video podcasts and creator

Why Soleno Therapeutics stock is down today: investor alerts revive Vykat XR scrutiny

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:28 (EST) — Regular session Soleno Therapeutics shares slid on Friday, extending a choppy stretch for the rare-disease drugmaker. The stock was down 5.6% at $42.95, after touching a low of $42.73, while the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF was up about 1.1%. The move matters now because Soleno’s story still hinges on a young commercial launch and a single product, Vykat XR. Any shift in sentiment around safety, pricing, or patients staying on therapy can hit the stock hard, fast. A Zacks Equity Research industry outlook on Thursday highlighted Soleno alongside Nektar Therapeutics, Rigel Pharmaceuticals,

Bitcoin price wobbles near $90,000 as ETF outflows bite; Coinbase, Strategy stocks slide

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:38 EST — Regular session Bitcoin eased back Friday and was last hovering around $90,700, while crypto-linked stocks such as Coinbase and Strategy slid in the U.S. regular session. Ether fell about 1% and XRP dropped nearly 2%, leaving the broader complex on the back foot after its early-year bounce. The dip carried weight with rates back in the driver’s seat for risk assets, and the latest U.S. jobs report didn’t do much to end the debate. Nonfarm payrolls rose 50,000 in December, short of economists’ 60,000 forecast in a Reuters poll, while the unemployment

Eaton stock rises today as Barclays trims target; CPI and earnings loom

New York, January 9, 2026, 13:40 EST — Regular session Eaton (ETN.N) shares rose 3.25 points, or about 1.0%, to $323.83 in afternoon trading on Friday, recovering some ground after recent losses. The power-management firm has become a key read-through on spending for electrical gear tied to data centers and grid work, a theme that has swung industrial stocks hard in both directions. Small shifts in the tone around demand can move the group. Eaton fell 3.1% on Wednesday and remains about 19% below its 52-week high of $399.56 hit on July 28, a pullback that has left traders quicker

IREN stock rises as Bernstein calls it a “top AI pick” — what traders watch next

New York, January 9, 2026, 13:27 (EST) — Regular trading session IREN Limited shares climbed about 4.6% on Friday to $47.76, adding to a choppy start to the year for the bitcoin miner turned AI data-center play. In heavy volume, the stock swung between a high of $49.99 and a low of $45.52. The move matters because IREN has turned into a quick proxy for two trades at once: crypto-linked cash flow and demand for AI compute. When either narrative shifts, the stock usually moves first and asks questions later. Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani told investors to “start 2026 by

New York, January 9, 2026, 13:20 (EST) — Regular session Wave Life Sciences Ltd shares fell about 5.6% on Friday, down 83 cents at $14.00, after trading between $13.99 and $15.09. The drop came even as biotech exchange-traded funds rose, with the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF up about 1% and the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF up about 0.5%. The move matters because Wave has become a high-beta obesity trade in the biotech tape, and the stock has been swinging on every new data point and funding headline. Traders have been leaning on near-term catalysts rather than fundamentals, and those catalysts

Applied Materials stock jumps toward $300 as TSMC sales beat and analysts lift AMAT targets

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:32 (EST) — Regular session Applied Materials Inc (AMAT) shares jumped about 6% on Friday, at one point topping $300, as chip-equipment names moved higher. AMAT was up 6% at $298.53 in afternoon trading. Lam Research rose about 8%, KLA was up about 5% and ASML added about 6%, while the iShares Semiconductor ETF gained nearly 3%.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:16 ET — Regular session Reddit, Inc shares fell 5.8% to $239.12 in afternoon trading on Friday, reversing an early push above $260. The move matters because Reddit stock has been priced like a fast grower, and fresh coverage is starting to draw harder lines around what that growth is worth. With results for the holiday quarter still ahead, even a “nothing’s broken” call can jolt a name trading at a premium. U.S. stocks were higher after a softer December jobs report, leaving Reddit as an outlier on the tape. The Nasdaq Composite was up

CoreWeave stock rises after insiders disclose $21 million in share sales

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:19 EST — Regular session CoreWeave shares rose nearly 3% on Friday, extending a choppy start to the year for the AI cloud firm, after filings showed its chief executive and a top lieutenant sold about $20.7 million worth of stock earlier this week. (SEC) The sales matter because CoreWeave is still a relatively new listing and the stock can swing on signs of extra supply — especially when it comes from senior executives.

Under Armour stock drops 6% as BlackRock reveals 10.6% stake in UAA

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:03 ET — Regular session Under Armour’s voting Class A shares (UAA) sank roughly 6% on Friday after a disclosure showed BlackRock owned more than a tenth of the sportswear maker. The stock was off 6.1% at $5.64 by midday, after moving in a range of $6.10 to $5.61. The timing is awkward for Under Armour. The company is in reset mode, and the stock has started getting jumpy again. Big ownership updates can squeeze the “tradable” float — shares that actually change hands day to day — and that can make price swings sharper.
