Structure Therapeutics stock climbs on $100 million Roche-Genentech patent deal; what investors watch next

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 11:50 a.m. EST — Regular session Shares of Structure Therapeutics Inc rose 5.6% to $66.75 in late-morning trade on Wednesday, recovering from early swings as investors sized up a newly disclosed patent license deal tied to Roche and Genentech’s oral obesity drug effort. The agreement matters because it puts near-term cash on the table for a clinical-stage biotech and suggests its intellectual property has value beyond its own pipeline, at a moment when markets are quick to price any edge in the crowded GLP-1 weight-loss race. A Form 8-K filing showed the company’s Gasherbrum Bio

New York, January 7, 2026, 11:40 ET — Regular session Oracle Corp shares slipped 0.2% to $193.44 in late-morning trading on Wednesday, after Jefferies reiterated a Buy rating and kept a $400 price target in a 2026 software outlook.

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 11:28 EST — Regular session Chevron Corp shares inched up on Wednesday as investors digested a report that private equity group Quantum Energy Partners is working on a bid that could involve Chevron for the international assets of Russia’s Lukoil, even as weaker oil prices kept a lid on energy stocks more broadly.

New York, January 7, 2026, 11:36 EST — Regular session AppLovin (APP.O) shares rose about 2% on Wednesday, building on a choppy start to the year as fresh analyst notes kept attention on the company’s push into e-commerce advertising.

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 11:26 (EST) — Regular session SoFi Technologies shares were down about 1.4% at $26.61 by 11:26 a.m. EST on Wednesday, extending recent weakness as investors absorbed fresh details on stock sold into the market.

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 11:10 EST — Regular session Shares of Abivax SA jumped 7.3% to $127.75 in morning trading on Wednesday, after touching a session high of $128.87 and a low of $119.48.

UMC stock jumps near 10% after December sales update as January earnings near

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 11:07 EST — Regular session United Microelectronics’ U.S.-listed shares surged on Wednesday, pushing the Taiwan chipmaker to a fresh 52-week high and putting the stock among the session’s top semiconductor gainers. UMC was up about 9.7% at $8.91 in late morning trade. The move matters because UMC’s monthly sales are one of the first hard reads on foundry demand going into 2026, when investors are trying to pin down whether the industry has truly worked through excess inventory. Chip stocks have also caught a bid this week after upbeat signals elsewhere in the sector, including

Frontline (FRO) stock jumps as Venezuela tanker seizures stir oil-shipping bets

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 11:12 EST — Regular session Frontline plc (FRO.N) shares rose about 7.7% to $23.27 by 11:12 a.m. EST on Wednesday, after swinging between $21.69 and $23.48 in early trading. The move came as traders leaned into crude-tanker names after the United States said it had seized a Venezuela-linked tanker that had been reflagged under Russia, part of a wider effort to choke off sanctioned oil movements. Crackdowns like that can squeeze the pool of “clean” ships available for mainstream cargoes, a setup that can lift spot freight rates quickly. Reuters Venezuela was loading crude only

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 10:51 EST — Regular session Shares of Lam Research Corp (LRCX) fell about 2.5% to $201.86 in morning trading on Wednesday, giving back part of a two-day rally in semiconductor equipment stocks. The timing matters because the trade in chip gear has turned fast this week, with investors leaning into names tied to artificial-intelligence-related chip buildouts as CES kicks off in Las Vegas. The group has also started to draw fresh analyst attention ahead of earnings season. Reuters+1 Aletheia Capital on Tuesday initiated coverage of Lam with a Buy rating and a $260 price target.
