NEW YORK, January 8, 2026, 13:45 EST — Regular session Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited shares were down 18.5% at $43.10 on Thursday, a sharp reversal after an early spike that pushed the Nasdaq-listed stock as high as $69.97.

Why Westlake stock is jumping today after its ACI deal filing

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 13:30 EST — Regular session Westlake Corp (WLK) shares jumped 7.4% in early afternoon trading on Thursday, extending a sharp intraday rebound after the chemical maker disclosed it had completed an acquisition in its compounds business.
