Oracle stock: 3 catalysts that could move ORCL when markets reopen

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 17:13 ET — Market closed Oracle Corp (ORCL.N) closed Friday up 0.4% at $195.71, a modest gain heading into a week heavy on U.S. data that can jolt Treasury yields and equity multiples. The setup matters for Oracle stock because the company has become a bellwether for whether the AI build-out translates into durable profit, not just data-center spending. After a bruising post-earnings reset in December, investors are still calibrating how much growth they want to pay for. The broader market also starts 2026 with rate sensitivity front and center.

Netflix stock slides to $91 as Warner Bros deal risk hangs over Jan. 20 earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 16:55 ET — Market closed Netflix (NFLX.O) shares closed down about 3% at $90.99 on Friday, underperforming a steady U.S. market as investors remained cautious on the streaming company’s pending Warner Bros deal. Investing That drop matters now because the stock is sitting near the low end of its recent range and well off its peak.

Intel stock jumps nearly 7% as chip rally kicks off 2026 — CES “Panther Lake” debut is next test

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 17:02 ET — Market closed Intel (INTC.O) shares closed up 6.7% at $39.38 on Friday after trading between $37.41 and $39.86, extending a rebound in semiconductor stocks at the start of 2026. The move matters because it puts Intel back within striking distance of $40, a round-number level traders often treat as a near-term line in the sand when markets reopen on Monday. It also lands days before CES, when chipmakers and PC vendors typically set the tone for the first quarter with product roadmaps, partner lineups and early demand signals. Chip stocks paced the

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 17:03 ET — Market closed Alphabet Inc’s Class C shares (GOOG) rose 0.5% on Friday to $315.32, finishing the week higher as U.S. markets opened 2026 with choppy trading. That matters now because Alphabet is one of the largest weights in U.S. equity benchmarks, and January’s data calendar is set to drive rate expectations that can reprice megacap tech quickly.
