Verizon stock today: VZ slips as fresh SEC filings hit tape; rates and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 2:26 PM ET — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares edged lower on Friday after a cluster of U.S. regulatory filings detailed year-end “phantom stock” transactions by senior executives. The stock was down 0.1% at $40.67 as of 2:26 p.m. ET, after trading between $40.32 and $40.90. The disclosures land as investors reset positions at the start of 2026, with interest-rate expectations back in focus. Verizon is widely held for its steady cash flows, making it one of the telecom names that can move with rates as investors compare dividend stocks with bond yields. Treasury

Wave Life Sciences stock tumbles 8.5% in first 2026 session as traders refocus on next WVE-007 readout

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 14:13 ET — Regular session Wave Life Sciences Ltd shares slid on Friday, giving back part of last month’s obesity-driven run as the biotech sector wobbled in the first U.S. session of 2026. The stock was down about 8.5% at $15.55 as of 2:13 p.m. ET. The retreat matters because Wave has become a high-volatility obesity “story stock,” with investors trying to price the upside of an early-stage program against the risks that come with thin clinical data and heavy funding needs. The shares more than doubled on December 8 after the company posted interim

Treasury yields inched higher, and investors are looking to next week’s U.S. labor-market data for clues on how quickly the Federal Reserve might cut rates again. Reuters Citi has its own catalyst close ahead. The bank is due to release fourth-quarter results at about 8 a.m. ET

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 2:07 PM ET — Regular session Shares of Super Micro Computer, Inc. climbed about 5.5% on Friday after the server maker disclosed a new high-density, direct liquid‑cooled system aimed at artificial intelligence and high‑performance computing workloads.

AbbVie stock edges up today as Linzess partner Ironwood cuts list price, lifts 2026 outlook

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:08 ET — Regular session AbbVie shares ticked higher on Friday after Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, its partner on constipation drug Linzess, raised its 2026 outlook and said it lowered the medicine’s list price at the start of the year.

It also lands as investors reopen the books for 2026 with drug pricing back on the agenda and macro data next week expected to reset interest-rate bets, a

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 13:41 ET — Regular session Vicor Corp shares rose 7.5% to $117.85 in early afternoon trading on Friday, in a sharp move for the Nasdaq-listed power-module maker. Trading was light, with about 33,231 shares changing hands by mid-day, MarketBeat data showed. MarketBeat The move puts Vicor back on traders’ screens at the start of 2026, when thin post-holiday liquidity can exaggerate swings in smaller chip-related names. The broader backdrop was supportive for semiconductors even as U.S. stocks were largely muted. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index was up 3.4%, Reuters reported, as investors sized up the

Pfizer stock rises today as 2026 drug price hikes grab headlines again — what PFE investors are watching

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 13:56 ET — Regular session Pfizer Inc shares rose 0.8% to $25.09 on Friday, as investors digested renewed attention on U.S. drug pricing and early-year list-price changes. The timing matters. January is when drugmakers typically reset U.S. prices, and the moves can quickly become a political and regulatory flashpoint — especially as the Trump administration keeps pressing for lower costs. For Pfizer, pricing headlines also land as the company tries to stabilize revenue after pandemic-era demand faded. Investors are sensitive to anything that could trigger tougher scrutiny or force steeper discounts. List price is the
