Netflix stock edges higher as CFRA downgrades on Warner Bros. deal risk

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:36 (EST) — Regular session Netflix, Inc. shares rose about 1% to $91.90 on Monday, despite a fresh downgrade that flagged mounting risks around the company’s planned acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery assets. The stock traded between $90.50 and $92.26 in morning dealings. The call keeps focus on the balance-sheet and regulatory questions hanging over Netflix’s biggest strategic bet, at a time when investors have been quick to punish leveraged deals. With quarterly results due later this month, management’s comments on financing and timing are expected to drive near-term positioning. The move came alongside broader

GE Aerospace earnings preview: Jan. 22 report to test the rally after a 52-week surge

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:34 EST GE Aerospace will report fiscal fourth-quarter results on Jan. 22, with investors watching whether the jet-engine maker can extend its profit streak after a strong run in the stock. The report matters now because expectations have reset higher across the aerospace supply chain, and GE’s shares have become a referendum on whether engine makers can keep turning heavy maintenance demand into steady cash. Supply-chain constraints are easing, helping GE ramp deliveries of its LEAP engines and expand commercial engine and services orders, Nasdaq wrote. The same analysis noted that faster deliveries can pressure

Broadcom (AVGO) stock slides while chip peers rally — what’s weighing on shares now

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:24 (EST) — Regular session Broadcom Inc shares slid on Monday, bucking a broader lift in chip stocks as investors kept a tight focus on the cost of the AI buildout and what it means for margins across the sector.

AMD stock rises as CES keynotes near; traders watch Lisa Su and Nvidia updates

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:26 EST — Regular session Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares edged higher on Monday, tracking gains across chip stocks as investors positioned ahead of a pair of CES events featuring the CEOs of AMD and rival Nvidia. The Consumer Electronics Show, which runs in Las Vegas from Jan. 6-9, often sets the tone for early-year product roadmaps in PCs and graphics, and has increasingly become a stage for companies to frame their artificial intelligence strategy.

Enbridge’s 6% dividend pitch meets insider selling as investors size up the pipeline giant

Calgary, Jan 5, 2026, 08:19 MST Enbridge Inc’s president, Gregory Ebel, sold about C$22 million worth of shares over the past year, a transaction completed at roughly C$66.72 per share, according to a Simply Wall St analysis published on Monday. The same analysis said insiders have been net sellers, with no recorded purchases in the last quarter. Simply Wall St The insider activity matters because Enbridge is widely held for income, and dividend-paying stocks tend to be judged harshly when confidence in future payouts wobbles. For pipeline operators, the trade-off is familiar: steady cash flows on one side, debt and

AST SpaceMobile stock rises as BlueBird 7 reaches Florida, keeping ASTS launch timeline in focus

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:02 a.m. ET — Regular session AST SpaceMobile, Inc. shares rose in morning trade on Monday, with investors digesting fresh signs the satellite maker is pushing its next launch along. The stock was up 1.1% at $84.43, after trading between $81.22 and $85.63; it closed at $83.47 on Friday. The move matters because AST’s valuation hinges on how quickly it can put enough large satellites into orbit to offer “direct-to-cell” service — meaning a satellite link that works with standard phones, without a dedicated satellite handset. That deployment tempo is the near-term scorecard for traders.

EQT stock slides as natural gas prices slump — EIA storage report is the next test

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:25 EST — Regular session EQT Corp shares fell 4.2% to $51.20 in morning trading on Monday, tracking a slide in U.S. natural gas prices at the start of the week. The move matters because producers like EQT sell into a market where winter heating demand can swing quickly with weather forecasts. In January, a few degrees on the map can mean a very different balance between supply and demand. Front-month Henry Hub natural gas futures — the nearest, most actively traded contract — were down about 3.3% at $3.498 per million British thermal units
