Exzeo Group (XZO) stock drops 6% to start 2026 as traders reset positions

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 8:54 PM ET — Market closed Exzeo Group, Inc. shares closed down 6.14% on Friday at $22.76, a sharp pullback on the first trading day of 2026 for the newly listed insurance-technology company. StockAnalysis Moves in fresh IPOs can be amplified when the public float — the shares available for trading — is relatively small. Exzeo’s parent, HCI Group, retained an 81.5% ownership stake after the offering, according to Reuters. Reuters The drop came as Wall Street ended mixed and Treasury yields ticked higher, a combination that can cool appetite for growth-oriented stocks. The S&P

Wave Life Sciences stock drops 6% as WVE traders size up next obesity data

Wave Life Sciences stock drops 6% as WVE traders size up next obesity data

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 20:55 ET — Market closed Wave Life Sciences Ltd (WVE) shares closed down 6.2% on Friday at $15.95, ending the first full U.S. trading session of 2026 with a sharp pullback. The slide matters because Wave has become an event-driven obesity trade after a December clinical update on its experimental fat-loss drug drew heavy attention from biotech investors. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, traders are now looking past Friday’s drop to the next scheduled clinical follow-ups and to how Wave’s recent fundraising affects the stock’s risk-reward into 2026. Nasdaq trading data showed WVE

Via Transportation stock tumbles 6% to start 2026 as yields rise and data week looms

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 20:53 ET — Market closed Via Transportation, Inc. (NYSE: VIA) shares fell 6.3% on Friday to close at $27.18, after trading as low as $27.17, market data showed. The drop stands out because Via is a recent IPO and trades like a growth stock — a category that can swing sharply when investors reprice interest-rate expectations. That timing matters with markets heading into the first full week of 2026 and a heavy U.S. data calendar that could reset the outlook for Federal Reserve policy, starting with the monthly jobs report on Jan. 9.

SailPoint stock tumbles 6% to start 2026 as SAIL traders brace for next catalysts

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 20:51 ET — Market closed SailPoint, Inc. shares fell 6.3% on Friday, ending the session at $18.95 and giving the identity-security software maker one of its sharpest daily drops in recent weeks, according to Investing.com market data. The move mattered because investors opened 2026 with an uneven appetite for growth, even as the Dow finished higher and the Nasdaq ended roughly flat, a Reuters market report showed. That backdrop tends to amplify swings in recently listed software names that trade on expectations of future subscription growth, rather than near-term profits. SailPoint also sits in a

Kymera Therapeutics (KYMR) stock drops 6.6% to start 2026 as insider sale filing stays in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 20:43 ET — Market closed Kymera Therapeutics shares slid on Friday, ending down 6.6% at $72.76 as the biotech underperformed its sector even as the broader market started 2026 on a mixed note. The move matters because Kymera has been a high-beta biotech name since a sharp rally in December on early trial data for its KT-621 immunology program, leaving the stock sensitive to profit-taking and fresh supply from capital-raising activity. Kymeratx With U.S. markets facing a busy week of economic releases, risk appetite has been uneven and investors have leaned on near-term catalysts —

Novanta stock tumbles 6.6% to start 2026; traders eye Jan. 14 management talks

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 20:47 ET — Market closed Novanta Inc. shares fell 6.6% on Friday, closing at $111.14 after touching an intraday low of $110.25, according to data from Twelve Data. Twelve Data The move stood out because it landed on the first trading day of 2026, when many investors were still returning from year-end breaks and liquidity can be thinner. U.S. stocks finished mixed in that session as Treasury yields rose. Reuters “Today is kind of a holiday trading day, lighter volumes, people not engaged normally,” said Jed Ellerbroek, portfolio manager at Argent Capital in St. Louis.

Paymentus stock ends first 2026 session down nearly 10% — what’s behind the sudden drop?

New York, Jan 3, 2026, 20:13 ET — Market closed Paymentus Holdings’ shares tumbled nearly 10% in the first U.S. trading session of 2026, ending Friday at $28.47. The stock traded as low as $28.22 intraday. Finviz The outsized move lands as investors shift positioning ahead of a busy January calendar that can reset interest-rate bets, a key driver for high-growth stocks. The monthly jobs report due Jan. 9 and the consumer price index on Jan. 13 are among the headline events, Reuters reported. Reuters “The market is looking for direction,” Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, told

Guidewire stock sinks 6.7%: GWRE slides below $190 as traders eye next earnings

New York, January 3, 2026, 20:07 ET — Market closed Shares of Guidewire Software fell 6.7% on Friday to $187.63, after swinging between $187.10 and $202.00 in the session. About 807,000 shares changed hands. The drop matters because Guidewire is a widely followed bet on insurers’ shift to cloud-based core systems, a transition investors have treated as a multi-year growth story. Rate expectations still loom over growth stocks, and sharp moves can follow when investors reassess how much they want to pay for earnings expected further out. For Guidewire, the focus is its shift from license sales to cloud subscriptions.

BILL stock drops 7% to start 2026 as rate jitters hit fintech; KBW lifts target

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 20:13 ET — Market closed Shares of BILL Holdings, Inc. fell 7.3% on Friday to $50.56, a sharp drop on the first U.S. trading session of 2026. The decline came as investors leaned toward value stocks and away from growth names while U.S. Treasury yields moved higher. The Dow and S&P 500 ended up on the day, while the Nasdaq dipped, according to Reuters data. Reuters That matters for BILL because the fintech is often priced like a growth software company, which can make it more sensitive to shifts in rate expectations early in the

Polestar stock slides 7% as investors eye Jan. 9 sales update after Geely-backed funding moves

New York, Jan 3, 2026, 8:05 PM ET — Market closed Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (PSNY) shares fell 7.3% on Friday to $19.81, finishing the last U.S. session lower with markets now shut for the weekend. The drop matters because Polestar is heading into a key data point on demand after a turbulent December that included a 1-for-30 reverse split and fresh funding announcements. Polestar has said it expects to report fourth-quarter retail sales volumes on Jan. 9.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 20:17 ET — Market closed AppLovin Corp (NASDAQ: APP) shares fell 8.2% on Friday to $618.32, extending a late-December pullback into the first trading day of 2026. The stock hit about $611 and ended below its 50-day moving average near $639, a closely watched momentum gauge, MarketBeat data showed.

Liquidia (LQDA) stock slides after heavy $30 put bets—what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 20:03 ET — Market closed Liquidia Corp shares ended sharply lower on Friday, retreating about 9% to $31.40 and giving back ground after trading near a fresh 52-week high earlier in the session. The drop matters because it came on the first U.S. trading day of 2026, a period when investors often reset risk and rebalance exposure in small- and mid-cap healthcare names. Liquidia’s move was far larger than the broader biotech tape. Derivatives positioning added to the focus. Options activity flagged unusually heavy demand for bearish protection tied to $30, a strike that sits
