Goldman Sachs stock jumps after Industry Ventures deal closes; Barclays lifts target ahead of earnings

New York, January 5, 2026, 17:49 (EST) — After-hours Goldman Sachs shares rose 3.8% in after-hours trading on Monday, extending gains after the Wall Street bank said it closed its acquisition of venture capital platform Industry Ventures. Goldman Sachs The move comes as investors rotate into financials and position for the next wave of bank earnings, betting that trading and deal activity can hold up early in 2026.

Coinbase stock jumps after Goldman turns bullish as Bitcoin tops $94,000

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 17:41 (ET) — After-hours Coinbase Global Inc shares were up 7.8% at $254.92 in after-hours trading on Monday, after ranging between $245.30 and $258.83 during the regular session. The move matters because Coinbase often trades as a fast-reacting proxy for crypto risk appetite. When bitcoin and trading volumes rise, the stock can respond sharply; the reverse is also true. Wall Street’s focus has shifted from pure trading fees toward “infrastructure” revenue — steadier lines tied to servicing clients rather than the day-to-day swings in crypto prices. That debate has become a near-term catalyst for crypto-linked

Exxon stock rises after-hours on Venezuela oil pivot; what XOM investors watch next

New York, January 5, 2026, 17:46 EST — After-hours Exxon Mobil Corp shares were up 2.2% at $125.36 in after-hours trading on Monday, after President Donald Trump said the United States would take control of Venezuela and pursue access to the OPEC member’s oil reserves.

It also reopens questions about the future supply of Venezuelan crude and who gets first access if

Eli Lilly stock slides as Novo’s Wegovy pill hits U.S. market and revives price pressure fears

New York, January 5, 2026, 5:47 PM ET — After-hours Eli Lilly and Co shares fell on Monday and were last down 3.6% at $1,041.51 in after-hours trading. The stock weakened as rival Novo Nordisk began rolling out a pill version of its Wegovy weight-loss drug in the United States. The Washington Post The drop matters because investors have priced Lilly as a long-duration obesity winner, with expectations anchored to rapid growth in demand and tight supply. Any new sign that the market is shifting toward cheaper oral options can force a reset in assumptions about pricing power. GLP-1 drugs,

Intel stock whipsaws ahead of CES Panther Lake debut as 18A chipmaking bet comes due

New York, January 5, 2026, 17:49 ET — After-hours Intel shares finished nearly flat on Monday and were little changed after the bell, as traders positioned ahead of the company’s CES presentation later in the evening.

MarketScreener The stakes are tied to Panther Lake, Intel’s next-generation laptop processor aimed at artificial intelligence workloads, which the company is set to detail at CES in Las Vegas.

Coterra stock slips as natural gas prices slide 5% — what traders watch next

New York, January 5, 2026, 17:31 EST — After-hours Coterra Energy (CTRA.N) shares fell on Monday as U.S. natural gas prices slid on forecasts for warmer weather, pressuring gas-weighted producers in early January. The stock closed down 2.93% at $25.82 and was last up a cent at $25.83 after the bell. Why it matters now: temperature swings can move the gas market sharply in the winter heating season, when demand for space heating dominates consumption. For producers, a weaker gas strip can quickly translate into lower cash-flow expectations and a slower pace of buybacks or drilling, depending on hedges and

Why Strategy Inc stock is jumping after-hours: fresh Bitcoin buy, $17.44B Q4 paper loss

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 17:27 ET — After-hours Shares of Strategy Inc (MSTR.O) rose 4.8% in after-hours trading on Monday after the company disclosed a fresh bitcoin purchase and flagged a $17.44 billion fourth-quarter unrealized loss on digital assets. SEC The disclosure matters because Strategy has become one of the market’s most direct equity proxies for bitcoin moves, with investors treating its stock as a leveraged way to bet on the token.

New York, January 5, 2026, 17:15 EST — After-hours Bitcoin jumped about 3.3% to $94,191 on Monday, trading near the top of its intraday range in late U.S. hours.
