Sandisk stock today: SNDK ends last session up nearly 16% after board pick, with traders eyeing Jan. 29 earnings

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:44 ET — Market closed Sandisk Corp shares closed up 15.95% at $275.24 on Friday, leading U.S.-listed storage and memory names into the first session of 2026. U.S. equity markets are closed on Sunday. The sharp move matters because Sandisk has become a bellwether for investor bets that artificial-intelligence data centers will keep driving demand for storage hardware, after a blockbuster 2025 run for the stock, Barron’s reported. The question now is whether that momentum carries into January as investors reset positioning for the new year. Barron’s Sandisk said it appointed Alexander R. Bradley, chief

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:42 ET — Market closed. Fluence Energy shares surged 16.3% on Friday to $23.01, finishing the first U.S. trading session of 2026 sharply higher. The outsized move put the spotlight back on battery-storage names, a corner of clean energy that investors often treat as a high-beta bet on grid investment and power-demand growth. It also came as markets turned to a familiar driver: rates. “Value is outperforming growth and AI infrastructure is up,” said Jed Ellerbroek, a portfolio manager at Argent Capital. Reuters The surge in Fluence echoed gains across solar and storage-linked stocks. First

NuScale Power stock jumps 15% to start 2026 — what pushed SMR, and what’s next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:46 ET — Market closed NuScale Power Corporation shares jumped 15.1% in the last regular session, closing at $16.31 on Friday with about 30.5 million shares traded, according to Stock Analysis data. StockAnalysis The move put the small-cap nuclear developer among the sharper gainers as investors began 2026 rotating back into higher-volatility corners of the market after a late-December slump. Reuters For NuScale, market chatter centered on sentiment rather than a new company catalyst. Nasdaq.com said the stock rose “apparently on no good news at all,” pointing instead to headlines around a temporary shutdown at

Netflix stock today: NFLX drops nearly 3% as Warner deal drama and earnings near

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:20 ET — Market closed Netflix shares last closed down $2.78, or about 3%, at $90.99 on Friday, the first trading day of 2026. The stock traded between $90.83 and $93.61, with about 41 million shares changing hands. The slide matters now because investors are still digesting Netflix’s agreement to buy Warner Bros. Discovery’s film and TV studios and streaming assets, including HBO and HBO Max. Netflix said the cash-and-stock transaction values Warner at $27.75 per share, with an enterprise value of about $82.7 billion — a measure that includes debt — and it expects

Applied Digital stock jumps 14% as AI-linked names rebound; APLD earnings on Jan. 7

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:28 ET — Market closed. Applied Digital Corporation (APLD) shares jumped 14.6% on Friday to close at $28.11, after trading between $24.65 and $28.44. Trading volume was about 36.1 million shares. The move put focus back on one of the market’s more volatile AI infrastructure trades, where sentiment can swing sharply on expectations for data-center demand and funding conditions. Why it matters now: investors are heading into a key earnings week looking for signs that new capacity is translating into steadier revenue, while capital spending remains heavy across the sector.

Apple stock today: AAPL slips on Raymond James caution as Wall Street weighs rates and earnings

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:20 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares slipped about 0.3% to $271.01 on Friday after Raymond James restarted coverage with a neutral view on valuation. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday, leaving Apple last seen trading between $269.12 and $277.69 on roughly 37.8 million shares. The call lands as investors reset positions for 2026, with mega-cap technology again under a microscope after last year’s run lifted valuations across the sector. Apple’s size in major indexes can amplify sentiment, even when the tape is quiet. Rate expectations are the other moving piece. Tech stocks tend

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

The stock was up about 1.6% in late after-hours trade. (Yahoo Finance) The slump matters because it puts Stellantis’ balance-sheet choices back on the front page, fast.
