Intuit stock edges up after Jefferies flags TurboTax owner as 2026 software pick

Intuit stock edges up after Jefferies flags TurboTax owner as 2026 software pick

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:38 EST — Regular session Intuit Inc. shares rose 0.9% to $634.97 on Monday, recovering from an early dip, after Jefferies analyst Brent Thill singled out the TurboTax and QuickBooks owner as one of his preferred large-cap software names for 2026. Thill told investors to “stay underweight” software — meaning hold less than a benchmark allocation — while making exceptions for a short list that included Intuit, according to MarketWatch. MarketWatch The call matters now because Intuit is heading into its seasonally important consumer tax window, when TurboTax demand and pricing can swing sentiment quickly.

CoreWeave stock erases early pop after rare Davidson upgrade — what CRWV investors watch next

CoreWeave stock erases early pop after rare Davidson upgrade — what CRWV investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 12:40 PM EST — Regular session CoreWeave shares pared an early jump and were down 0.1% at $79.21 in midday trading on Monday after D.A. Davidson upgraded the AI-focused cloud company. The call matters because CoreWeave has become a high-beta proxy for how long the AI buildout can stay on a debt-funded footing. Traders have been quick to fade rallies when bullish demand signals collide with questions about capital intensity, or how much cash a company must spend just to keep growing. CoreWeave touched $84.44 earlier in the session before sliding back below $80, underscoring

Caterpillar stock rises as CAT tees up CES 2026 AI keynote, expands Nvidia tie-up

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:46 EST — Regular session Caterpillar (CAT.N) shares rose about 2.7% on Monday after the heavy-equipment maker said it will showcase new Industrial AI and autonomy initiatives at CES 2026 and deepen its collaboration with Nvidia (NVDA.O). Caterpillar Investors The CES spotlight matters because Caterpillar has become a high-conviction industrial bellwether for investors who want exposure to automation, digital services and AI-enabled equipment — themes that can carry more weight when the macro picture turns choppy. Monday’s move came as traders weighed fresh U.S. factory data and the outlook for rates, both key swing factors

Hut 8 Corp stock jumps 12% as bitcoin pushes higher — traders eye Friday jobs data

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:22 EST — Regular session Hut 8 Corp shares rose about 12% on Monday, extending a rally in crypto-linked stocks as bitcoin climbed. The Nasdaq-listed stock traded at $57.47 after earlier touching $58.08, up from Friday’s close. The move matters because miners often act like a leveraged bet on bitcoin: they earn revenue in bitcoin, while many costs such as power and equipment are relatively fixed in the short run. When bitcoin moves, cash-flow expectations can reprice fast, and the equities tend to swing harder. Investors are also watching U.S. economic signals that can ripple

Why Exxon Mobil stock is up today: Venezuela shock lifts XOM as oil prices firm

New York, January 5, 2026, 12:39 PM EST — Regular session Exxon Mobil Corp shares rose about 2% to $125.08 in midday trading on Monday, as energy stocks gained after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro over the weekend. Analysts at J.P. Morgan said the upheaval could improve the odds Exxon recovers arbitration damages — compensation ordered by an arbitration panel after a legal dispute — tied to assets seized in 2007. Reuters The move matters because Venezuela holds roughly 17% of global oil reserves, and any shift in U.S. sanctions policy would reshape long-dated supply expectations and, in

NexGen Energy stock hits a fresh 52-week high as Canada regulator deadline nears

Toronto, Jan 5, 2026, 12:21 EST — Regular session NexGen Energy shares hit a new 52-week high of $10.70 on Monday and were last up 2.9% at $10.55 in U.S. trading, after changing hands in above-average volume. FT Markets The move comes as the clock runs down to a Jan. 9 public intervention deadline set by Canada’s nuclear regulator for the permitting process on NexGen’s proposed Rook I uranium mine and mill. The deadline is the cutoff for groups or individuals to file written comments or ask to participate in the hearing. Gc That matters for NexGen because the company

RIOT stock rises as bitcoin climbs; Riot’s data-center pivot and $500 million share-sale plan in focus

RIOT stock rises as bitcoin climbs; Riot’s data-center pivot and $500 million share-sale plan in focus

New York, January 5, 2026, 12:20 EST — Regular session Shares of Riot Platforms, Inc were up 2.4% at $14.50 by midday on Monday, tracking a roughly 2.5% rise in bitcoin to about $93,612. Trading volume topped 6.4 million shares. Riot is one of several U.S.-listed bitcoin miners whose shares often move more than the token itself, making the stock a higher-volatility proxy for crypto sentiment. That leverage works both ways when prices reverse. The bigger question for miners in early 2026 is whether they can reduce dependence on bitcoin’s cycle by building out large data centers for power-hungry computing

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:23 (EST) — Regular session Carvana Co. shares climbed 8.4% to $433.75 in midday New York trading on Monday, after swinging between $400.06 and $433.75. Volume was about 2.14 million shares. The move matters because Carvana has traded as a high-beta proxy for consumer credit and risk appetite, leaving it prone to sharp intraday swings as investors recalibrate rate expectations early in the year. A calendar packed with U.S. economic data has raised the stakes for rate-sensitive names. Reuters The broader market was higher, with the S&P 500-linked SPY up about 0.8% and the tech-heavy

UEC stock jumps nearly 5% as uranium price firms near $82 and miners rally

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 12:09 (EST) — Regular session Uranium Energy Corp shares rose nearly 5% on Monday, tracking a firmer uranium tape and renewed buying across U.S.-listed uranium miners. The stock was up 5% at $13.76 in midday trading on the NYSE American after ranging between $13.13 and $13.91. The move matters now because uranium equities tend to trade as a high-beta proxy for the underlying commodity, with investors quick to reprice producers and developers when the market tightens.

New York, January 5, 2026, 12:23 EST — Regular session Visa Inc. shares climbed 3.2% to $357.40 in midday trading on Monday, outperforming the broader U.S. market. The move matters now because Wall Street’s early-2026 tone is being set by macro headlines and a heavy data calendar, with investors gauging how far the Federal Reserve can cut rates this year. Reuters For Visa, a bellwether for card spending, that backdrop can shift quickly: stronger economic data typically supports transaction growth, while higher rate expectations can pressure valuations across the financial sector.
