Rigetti stock jumps 6% as director files plan to sell shares — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:16 ET — Market closed Rigetti Computing shares jumped about 6.6% in the most recent session, ending at $23.60 on Friday with heavy trading volume, even as a company director filed paperwork signaling an intent to sell stock. The timing matters because quantum-computing names have become a high-volatility corner of the market, with sharp moves often driven by sentiment and risk appetite rather than near-term fundamentals. The filing is a Form 144, a notice insiders use to disclose a planned sale under SEC Rule 144. It flags an intent to sell but does not guarantee

Opendoor stock bounces above $6 to start 2026 as rates and jobs data take center stage

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:15 ET — Market closed. Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN.O) shares ended Friday up about 4% at $6.07, after trading between $5.86 and $6.15 on roughly 38.4 million shares. The move matters because Opendoor sits at the intersection of housing demand and interest rates. When borrowing costs rise, affordability falls and homes can take longer to sell, which pressures companies that buy and resell homes for profit. U.S. stocks finished mixed on Friday and Treasury yields moved higher, a backdrop that can quickly change the tone for rate-sensitive names. “Today is kind of a holiday trading

NIO stock in focus as record deliveries meet a looming 1‑millionth vehicle milestone

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:03 ET — Market closed. NIO Inc’s U.S.-listed shares closed up 0.8% on Friday at $5.14. Stockanalysis The move comes as investors digest a wave of end-of-year delivery updates from Chinese electric-vehicle makers, one of the few high-frequency reads on demand in a sector still fighting a price-driven slowdown. For NIO, delivery momentum matters because the company is still spending heavily on new models and infrastructure while it pushes toward break-even. NIO reported a net loss in its most recent quarterly results, even as it posted a higher gross margin. Nio NIO said it delivered

Micron (MU) stock jumps 10% as Bernstein lifts target on AI-driven memory price upcycle

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:50 ET — Market closed Micron Technology shares surged 10.5% to close at $315.42 on Friday, as a bullish analyst note helped extend a powerful rally in memory stocks tied to artificial-intelligence data centers. The move matters now because memory is one of the key inputs for AI servers, and tighter supply can push up prices quickly. Higher prices typically flow straight into chipmakers’ margins when they sell more of the same bits at better terms. Micron is a major supplier of DRAM (dynamic random access memory, a type of working memory used in computers

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:57 ET — Market closed.

The stock traded between $18.90 and $20.70 in the session, with about 42.7 million shares changing hands. The delivery print matters because it lands as Rivian tries to defend demand for premium-priced models and line up a lower-cost launch in 2026. Rivian said it delivered 42,247 vehicles in 2025, down about 18% from a year earlier; analysts had expected 42,500, and fourth-quarter deliveries of 9,745

Archer Aviation (ACHR) stock jumps 8% into 2026 as insider sale filing lands

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:46 ET — Market closed. Archer Aviation Inc shares closed up 8.1% at $8.13 on Friday, the first U.S. trading session of 2026, after swinging sharply higher through the day. Archer The move put fresh attention on electric air-taxi developers, a corner of the market where sentiment can turn quickly on funding needs and the pace of regulatory sign-offs.

That sensitivity was in focus late Friday after an executive filed a notice that

American Airlines stock faces Monday test after Caribbean flight cancellations; AAL last up 1%

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:48 ET — Market closed American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O) is set to come under fresh scrutiny when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after a weekend FAA airspace restriction triggered hundreds of flight cancellations across parts of the Caribbean.

Scientists Scanned Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS for Alien Signals — and Found Nothing

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:41 ET Scientists hunting for signs of alien technology from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reported no radio signals that could be traced to the object, after aiming one of the world’s most sensitive dishes at it during its recent close pass by Earth. ScienceAlert The result matters because 3I/ATLAS is rare — only the third known object confirmed to have come from outside the solar system — and it is already heading back out, shrinking the window for close-up observations. It also lands as public fascination around the comet has surged, fueled by claims that unusual

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:32 ET — Market closed Amazon.com, Inc. shares last traded at $226.50, down 1.9% from the prior close, after slipping in the first trading session of 2026 on Friday.
