Citigroup stock ticks up as CPI, Citi earnings set next test

New York, January 9, 2026, 12:49 (ET) — Regular session Citigroup shares were up 0.8% at $121.53 on Friday, with investors leaning into the start of U.S. bank earnings season next week and a key inflation report that could shift rate bets. Stocks have opened 2026 calmly, but strategists say the quiet could break as earnings and macro data hit. “As we’re starting January, the market may be underappreciating some of the events on the horizon,” Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Investment Management, said. (Reuters) The bank reports start with JPMorgan on Jan. 13, followed by Citigroup,

Why Immunome stock is up today: IMNM jumps 7% as biotech firms up and JPM conference looms

New York, January 9, 2026, 13:01 EST — Regular session Immunome, Inc. shares jumped on Friday, outpacing a firmer biotech tape. The Nasdaq-listed stock (IMNM) was up 7.4% at $21.97, after trading between $20.71 and $22.00. The move keeps attention on Immunome’s lead drug, varegacestat, being developed for desmoid tumors — non-cancerous growths in connective tissue that can still be painful and hard to treat. The company has said it plans to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the second quarter of 2026; an NDA is the formal request for approval to

Lumentum stock slips in choppy trade as Wall Street lifts targets to $455-$470

Lumentum stock slips in choppy trade as Wall Street lifts targets to $455-$470

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:01 EST — Regular session Shares of Lumentum Holdings Inc (LITE) were down 2.4% at $339.88 by early afternoon on Friday, pulling back after a violent week for the optical components maker. The stock has traded between $334.01 and $362.63 so far, with about 3.7 million shares changing hands. The move matters now because Lumentum sits in the plumbing of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, selling lasers and optical parts that push data as light, not electricity. After a sharp run, traders have treated the name like a referendum on cloud spending and networking upgrades.

The stock traded as low as $11.15, with about 27.5 million shares changing hands. The move follows a choppy stretch for the voice-AI company after brokerage D.A.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:45 EST — Regular session GE Aerospace shares rose about 2.1% to $321.13 on Friday after a U.S. Navy contract notice showed the engine maker won a $1.42 billion modification tied to CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter production. The award covers 277 T408-GE-400 turboshaft engines and runs through September 2032; it is a firm-fixed-price deal, meaning the contractor is paid a set amount and must manage any cost overruns. (Defense Daily) Why it matters now: investors have leaned into aerospace suppliers on the view that a backlog of engines and maintenance work can outlast bumps in plane

Builders FirstSource (BLDR) stock jumps as Trump’s $200B mortgage-bond order jolts housing names

New York, January 9, 2026, 12:48 (EST) — Regular session Builders FirstSource shares jumped 10.8% to $123.27 in midday trading, as investors chased housing-linked stocks after President Donald Trump ordered a $200 billion purchase of mortgage bonds. The trade is simple: cheaper mortgages can pull buyers back in. For a supplier tied to new-home construction and repair work, even a small shift in demand can swing volumes and margins. It also lands at a jittery moment for anything rate-sensitive. Investors have been punishing housing names on affordability worries, then snapping them up on any hint that borrowing costs might ease.

The stock was up 4.1% at $374.25. Redfin economist Chen Zhao called the plan’s impact “fairly small” and pegged any drop in mortgage rates at 10 to 15 basis points, or 0.10 to 0.15 percentage point.

The defense and aerospace group has been volatile this week as Washington signaled a tougher line on contractor performance and shareholder payouts.

IRS tax refund delays? Watchdog flags staffing crunch as 2026 filing season ramps up

7 February 2026
WASHINGTON, Feb 7, 2026, 06:23 (EST) A Treasury watchdog warned the U.S. Internal Revenue Service has entered the 2026 tax filing season short-staffed, raising the risk of delays for some refunds and longer waits for help. https://www.axios.com/2026/02/05/tax-refund-status-irs-delays-staffing The timing matters because the IRS is now accepting 2025 income-tax returns and expects about 164 million individual filings ahead of the April 15 deadline. Refunds are a big piece of household cash flow for many filers, and the IRS is also pushing taxpayers more firmly toward electronic payments this year. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-opens-2026-filing-season In a memo dated Jan. 26, the Treasury Inspector General for
