New York, Jan 5, 2026, 13:28 EST — Regular session Nike, Inc.

Lumentum stock drops 8% in sharp reversal as optics peers slide; Feb. 5 earnings loom

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 13:11 (ET) — Regular session Shares of Lumentum Holdings Inc (LITE.O) fell 8.1% to $354.87 on Monday, after trading between $345 and $394.48 in a volatile session.

Ondas Holdings stock rises on Jan. 16 investor day plan, SEC resale filing sharpens focus on 2026 outlook

New York, January 5, 2026, 13:05 (ET) — Regular session Shares of Ondas Holdings Inc (ONDS.O) rose 6.5% to $11.74 in early afternoon trade on Monday after the company set a January 16 investor day and disclosed an SEC resale registration tied to its autonomous systems business.

Cadence Bank stock is stuck at $42.11 after Huntington deal — what CADE holders watch next week

7 February 2026
New York, Feb 7, 2026, 07:02 (EST) — Market closed.
