Intuit stock sinks nearly 5% after insider sale filings hit tape; what’s next for INTU

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 11:26 ET — Market closed Intuit Inc. shares fell 5% in the first session of 2026, ending Friday at $629.46. The stock traded as low as $622.31 and as high as $665.02, with volume of about 2.7 million shares.

Caterpillar stock jumps toward $600 as 2026 trading starts; Wolfe lifts CAT target

New York, Jan 3, 2026, 11:27 ET — Market closed Caterpillar Inc. shares last closed up $25.42, or 4.4%, at $598.41, outperforming most large industrial names on the first trading day of 2026.

Miami airport flight cancellations climb after U.S. strikes in Venezuela trigger Caribbean airspace curbs

MIAMI, Jan 3, 2026, 11:19 ET Dozens of flights were canceled or delayed at Miami International Airport on Saturday after U.S. President Donald Trump said U.S. forces struck Venezuela overnight and captured President Nicolas Maduro.

BitMine (BMNR) stock jumps 15% as Tom Lee presses 50‑billion authorized-share vote — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 11:15 ET — Market closed BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. shares jumped 14.9% on Friday, ending at $31.19, after the crypto-focused company stepped up its push for shareholders to approve a sharp increase in the number of shares it is authorized to issue. MarketBeat The vote matters because “authorized shares” set the legal ceiling on how much stock a company can issue under its charter — a key constraint for fundraising, acquisitions and stock splits. BitMine is asking investors to approve a charter amendment that would raise that limit to 50 billion shares from 500 million.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 11:09 ET — Market closed Costco Wholesale Corp shares (COST.O) ended Friday down 0.9% at $854.50, ahead of the warehouse retailer’s closely watched December sales update next week. The stock traded between $852.59 and $865.23 in the session.
