NuScale Power stock jumps 15% to start 2026 as nuclear names rally — what to watch Monday

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:56 ET — Market closed NuScale Power Corp (SMR) shares climbed 15.1% on Friday to $16.31, after trading between $14.33 and $16.73. Volume was about 31.1 million shares. The move put the spotlight back on small modular reactor developers, a corner of the market that has been driven as much by shifting risk appetite as by company-specific milestones. “Value is outperforming growth and AI infrastructure is up, and … energy probably too,” said Jed Ellerbroek, a portfolio manager at Argent Capital in St. Louis, describing the market tone on the first trading day of 2026.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:49 ET — Market closed Sandisk Corp shares jumped 15.95% on Friday to close at $275.24, their best day so far this year, as the Nasdaq-listed flash-storage maker rode a rebound in chip-linked stocks.

PBF Energy stock set for volatility after U.S. strikes Venezuela, Maduro captured

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:27 ET — Market closed PBF Energy (NYSE:PBF) shares are set to be in focus when U.S. markets reopen after the United States said it struck Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, injecting new uncertainty into the country’s oil exports.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:26 ET — Market closed Phillips 66 shares are set to be in focus when U.S. markets reopen after President Donald Trump said U.S. forces attacked Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday. Maduro is expected to appear in Manhattan federal court on Monday and the U.N. Security Council is due to meet over the U.S. action, Reuters reported.  Reuters The developments matter for refiners because Venezuela’s crude is predominantly heavy oil — a thicker, lower-quality grade that many complex Gulf Coast refineries are built to process.
