NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 16:05 (EST) — After-hours Tesla shares rose 2.2% to $445.17 in late Friday trading, after swinging between $430.40 and $448.78.

Uber stock slides nearly 3% as CES robotaxi push puts costs back in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:42 (EST) — Regular session Uber Technologies Inc shares fell nearly 3% on Friday as CES-driven talk of driverless taxis stirred fresh debate over when the technology pays off at scale.

Bigger autonomous fleets could mean more rides flowing through Uber’s app, but they also raise questions over who controls pricing and who captures the

Ford stock jumps after Piper Sandler upgrade as eyes-off driving plan comes into view
