Marvell stock jumps 5% as chip rally kicks off 2026; CES CEO chat is next test

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 20:09 ET — Market closed Marvell Technology shares ended Friday up 5.2% at $89.39, after trading between $86.12 and $90.08. The move matters because Marvell sits in the cross-currents of two market drivers: spending on AI and data-center infrastructure, and interest-rate expectations that can swing valuations for growth stocks. After a choppy year-end, traders have been quick to buy semiconductor exposure early in 2026, treating chipmakers as a high-beta proxy for risk appetite. U.S. stocks started 2026 mixed, with the Dow up 0.66% and the S&P 500 up 0.19%, while the Nasdaq edged down 0.03%,

Coca-Cola stock slips today after Georgia filing flags 75 Atlanta HQ layoffs

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:26 ET — Regular session Coca-Cola Co shares fell about 1% on Friday after a Georgia workforce filing said the beverage maker expects to cut about 75 jobs at its Atlanta headquarters as part of a broader reorganization.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 14:49 ET — Regular session EverCommerce Inc shares were down 6.6% at $11.31 in afternoon trading on Friday, after hitting an intraday low of $10.89. The Nasdaq 100 tracker was little changed, while the S&P 500 ETF was up about 0.2%. The move matters because EverCommerce is a smaller, thinly traded software name, where swings can be sharper than the broader market on modest news flow.

Coal India stock hits 52-week high after opening coal e-auctions to Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan

BENGALURU, January 2, 2026, 08:04 ET Coal India opened its online coal auctions to buyers from Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal on Friday, letting companies across the border bid directly for its coal. The state-run miner’s shares jumped to a 52-week high. The change comes as demand from Indian power producers has softened, with coal-based generation down in seven of the past 12 months as renewable capacity expanded.
