Dow Jones flips positive after weak U.S. jobs print, with Supreme Court tariff call looming

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:03 EST — Regular session The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 14.30 points, or 0.03%, to 49,280.41 by about 9:45 a.m. EST, after a choppy open. The S&P 500 rose 0.28% and the Nasdaq gained 0.29%. (Investing.com) The early move mattered less than the message from the jobs data: hiring looks soft enough to keep pressure off yields, but not so weak that it screams recession. With the Federal Reserve expected to pause this month after a run of rate cuts late last year, investors were trying to map out how much easing is

Bloom Energy stock rises again as AEP expands $2.65 billion fuel cell deal in Wyoming

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:57 ET — Regular session Shares of Bloom Energy (BE.N) were up 5.1% at $128 in early New York trading on Friday, after American Electric Power’s fuel-cell purchase plan put the spotlight back on the U.S. power crunch story. The move matters because it is a rare, big-ticket utility commitment in a market where investors have questioned how quickly fuel-cell projects can move from talks to orders. Bloom sells solid oxide fuel cells — equipment that makes electricity through a chemical reaction rather than burning fuel — which can help customers add power without waiting

Meta stock ticks up as nuclear power deals aim to fuel AI data centers

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:01 (EST) — Regular session Meta Platforms (META.O) shares were up 0.1% on Friday after the Facebook owner announced nuclear power agreements aimed at locking in electricity for its growing AI data centers. Vistra (VST.N) climbed 14.6% and reactor developer Oklo (OKLO.N) gained 15.8%, while the Nasdaq 100-tracking Invesco QQQ ETF edged up 0.3%. The deals land as big tech companies chase long-term power supplies to keep up with demand from AI computing and new data centers, a shift that has started to lift U.S. electricity demand after years of flat growth. For Meta, the

Why Kratos (KTOS) stock is up: Northrop’s Marine Corps Valkyrie drone wingman win

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:04 (EST) — Regular session Kratos Defense & Security Solutions shares climbed about 6% in early New York trading on Friday, up $6.27 at $110.31 as of 9:49 a.m. EST. The stock swung between $104.76 and $111.59. The move followed a Thursday company statement that Northrop Grumman had been selected for the U.S. Marine Corps’ MUX TACAIR Collaborative Combat Aircraft program and would pair its mission kit and Prism autonomy software with Kratos’ XQ-58A Valkyrie. Collaborative Combat Aircraft, or CCA, refers to uncrewed aircraft designed to fly alongside crewed fighters. (Kratos Defense) Breaking Defense reported

Bitmine (BMNR) stock slips premarket after naming new CFO/COO as big share vote nears

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 09:12 EST — Premarket Bitmine Immersion Technologies’ shares fell about 1% to $30.97 in premarket trading on Friday, after ending Thursday up 3% at $31.28. The NYSE American-listed digital-asset company said it appointed Young Kim as chief financial officer and chief operating officer, effective immediately. (Webull) The timing matters. Bitmine’s stock has behaved less like a steady operating business and more like a leveraged bet on its crypto holdings, with governance and funding questions now front and center. Kim steps in as shareholders weigh how fast Bitmine can grow its digital-asset “treasury” — cash and

Ondas (ONDS) stock rises in premarket after $1 billion offering priced above market

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 09:18 (EST) — Premarket Ondas Holdings Inc shares were up 3.4% at $14.48 in premarket trading on Friday, after closing at $14.01 in the prior session. The drone and private-wireless firm said it priced a $1 billion registered direct offering at $16.45 per share-and-warrant bundle, about 17.5% above Thursday’s close. Ondas said the sale covers 19 million shares and pre-funded warrants for up to 41.79 million shares, each paired with a seven-year warrant to buy two more shares at $28, with the deal expected to close on or about Jan. 12 and proceeds aimed at

Palantir stock drifts in early trade as tariff ruling looms and rate bets shift (PLTR)

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:35 ET — Regular session Palantir Technologies Inc. shares were down 0.2% at $176.54 in early trade on Friday, giving back a small part of Thursday’s drop as investors sized up fresh U.S. labor data and a looming Supreme Court decision on tariffs. The lack of a clean direction matters because Palantir has turned into a crowded wager on artificial intelligence spending, and those trades can swing on tiny changes in rates, policy and risk appetite. It also lands at an awkward time for growth stocks. Investors want falling rates, but they also want enough

Ford stock today: Why shares are holding near a 52-week high before the bell

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:27 EST — Premarket Ford Motor (F.N) shares edged lower in premarket trading on Friday, hovering near a 52-week peak after Thursday’s jump. The stock was down 0.2% at $14.37. It rose 4.8% on Thursday and touched $14.50. (Investing.com) The move has refocused attention on Ford’s push to sell more software and driver-assistance features, a harder story to tell when the car market is soft. Ford has said it will bring a Level 3 driver-assistance system to market in 2028 on a new EV platform; Level 3 means drivers can take their hands and eyes
Nvidia stock dips before the open as China H200 payment demands take center stage

Nvidia stock dips before the open as China H200 payment demands take center stage

New York, January 9, 2026, 09:21 EST — Premarket Nvidia (NVDA) stock fell 2.1% to $185.04 in premarket trading on Friday, down about $4 from its prior close. The drop followed a Reuters report that Nvidia is requiring full upfront payment from Chinese customers seeking its H200 artificial intelligence chips, a tougher stance it is using to hedge against uncertainty over Beijing’s approval of the shipments. Chinese officials have also asked some tech companies to pause H200 orders while regulators weigh conditions that could tie Nvidia purchases to buying domestically made chips, the report said. CEO Jensen Huang said this

Micron Technology stock drops early — what MU traders are watching after a $400 target

New York, January 9, 2026, 09:40 (EST) — Regular session. Micron Technology, Inc. shares fell about 3.7% to $327.02 in early trading on Friday, extending a pullback after a sharp run in memory-related stocks. The move followed a tech-heavy slide on Thursday, when the Nasdaq fell and the S&P 500 technology index dropped 1.5% as investors picked at AI-linked valuations. “While AI is still hot, there are going to be winners and losers,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth. (Reuters) That matters for Micron because its rally has leaned on one theme: tight supply and rising

Amazon stock dips as Amazon Pharmacy adds Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill, with $25 insured pricing

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:35 EST — Regular session Amazon Pharmacy said it now offers Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill through insurance plans and a cash-pay option, widening its push into prescription drugs as demand for weight-loss treatments spreads beyond injections. Eligible customers with commercial insurance may pay as little as $25 for a one-month supply, while customers without insurance can buy the pill starting at $149 per month; U.S. regulators approved the 25-milligram semaglutide pill in December, the company said. Amazon.com shares were down 0.7% at $244.58 in early New York trade. The rollout matters because Amazon is trying

Microsoft stock slips after weak jobs report; Jan. 28 earnings date sharpens focus

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:41 EST — Regular session Microsoft Corp. shares fell about 1.1% to $478.11 in early New York trading on Friday, after dipping to $475.01, as investors weighed fresh U.S. labor data and stayed cautious on megacap tech. The S&P 500 proxy SPY was little changed, while QQQ, which tracks the Nasdaq 100, slipped about 0.6%. The stock’s early drop extends a choppy week for AI-linked large caps after Thursday’s tech-led slide. Microsoft fell 1.1% in the prior session alongside Nvidia and Broadcom, as investors demanded clearer payoffs from heavy capital spending, or capex, on AI
