Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals stock slides despite Health Canada approval of Redemplo — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 13:31 EST — Regular session Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals shares were down about 6.9% on Monday after the company said Health Canada approved Redemplo, its triglyceride-lowering drug for familial chylomicronemia syndrome. The stock fell $4.68 to $63.11 after swinging between $60.75 and $70.87. MarketScreener The clearance gives Arrowhead another regulated market for its first commercial product, as investors shift attention from the science to execution. It also keeps the spotlight on how quickly the company can convert approvals into reimbursed prescriptions. The selloff underscored how hard it can be for single-stock catalysts to cut through sector tape.

Intuit stock edges up after Jefferies flags TurboTax owner as 2026 software pick

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:38 EST — Regular session Intuit Inc. shares rose 0.9% to $634.97 on Monday, recovering from an early dip, after Jefferies analyst Brent Thill singled out the TurboTax and QuickBooks owner as one of his preferred large-cap software names for 2026. Thill told investors to “stay underweight” software — meaning hold less than a benchmark allocation — while making exceptions for a short list that included Intuit, according to MarketWatch. MarketWatch The call matters now because Intuit is heading into its seasonally important consumer tax window, when TurboTax demand and pricing can swing sentiment quickly.

Carvana stock jumps 8% as Wall Street rebounds; insider sale notices on watch

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:23 (EST) — Regular session Carvana Co. shares climbed 8.4% to $433.75 in midday New York trading on Monday, after swinging between $400.06 and $433.75. Volume was about 2.14 million shares. The move matters because Carvana has traded as a high-beta proxy for consumer credit and risk appetite, leaving it prone to sharp intraday swings as investors recalibrate rate expectations early in the year. A calendar packed with U.S. economic data has raised the stakes for rate-sensitive names. Reuters The broader market was higher, with the S&P 500-linked SPY up about 0.8% and the tech-heavy

Enbridge’s 6% dividend pitch meets insider selling as investors size up the pipeline giant

Enbridge’s 6% dividend pitch meets insider selling as investors size up the pipeline giant

Calgary, Jan 5, 2026, 08:19 MST Enbridge Inc’s president, Gregory Ebel, sold about C$22 million worth of shares over the past year, a transaction completed at roughly C$66.72 per share, according to a Simply Wall St analysis published on Monday. The same analysis said insiders have been net sellers, with no recorded purchases in the last quarter. Simply Wall St The insider activity matters because Enbridge is widely held for income, and dividend-paying stocks tend to be judged harshly when confidence in future payouts wobbles. For pipeline operators, the trade-off is familiar: steady cash flows on one side, debt and

Occidental Petroleum stock rises premarket: OXY climbs after $9.7B OxyChem sale — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:57 ET — Premarket Occidental Petroleum Corp shares rose 1.7% in U.S. premarket trading on Monday, as investors continued to digest the company’s $9.7 billion sale of its chemicals business and looked for clues on how the cash will be deployed. Public The deal matters now because it sharpens Occidental’s focus on its oil-and-gas operations at a time when crude prices are struggling to find direction. The sale also gives management room to address leverage and shareholder returns — two themes that have dominated the stock’s debate since the company’s debt-heavy expansion in recent years.

Fresnillo shares just hit a fresh high — what’s driving the move in FRES.L

Fresnillo shares just hit a fresh high — what’s driving the move in FRES.L

LONDON, Jan 5, 2026, 09:47 GMT — Regular session Fresnillo PLC (FRES.L) shares rose 3.9% to 3,482 pence, after earlier touching 3,522 pence — a fresh 52-week high — in London trading on Monday. London South East The move matters because Fresnillo is tightly geared to precious metals prices. When gold and silver rise, miners’ revenues can jump faster than many operating costs, often amplifying the swing in the share price. That leverage was back in focus as investors rotated into “safe-haven” assets — places to park money when uncertainty rises — after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás

The stock was up 0.9% at 1,165.5 pence by 0932 GMT after earlier hitting 1,169.5 pence, LSEG data showed. Investors Chronicle The move matters because Prudential has started 2026 with momentum after an 86% gain over the past year, leaving it sensitive to any shift in risk appetite or fresh signals on capital returns.

Palo Alto Networks stock set for Monday spotlight after Guggenheim upgrade, insider sale notices

New York, Jan 4, 2026, 7:50 PM ET — Market closed Palo Alto Networks, Inc. shares closed Friday down 2.6% at $179.37, and traders will be watching for follow-through on Monday after Guggenheim upgraded the cybersecurity company to Neutral from Sell.

Western Digital stock jumps 9% to start 2026 — what WDC investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 19:39 ET — Market closed Western Digital (WDC) shares closed Friday up nearly 9% at $187.70, extending a sharp rally in data-storage names as 2026 began. The stock added $15.44 on the session, and traded between $176 and $188.90, according to market data. The burst matters because Western Digital has become a fast-moving proxy for AI-linked infrastructure spending. It sells hard disk drives, or HDDs — spinning disks used for mass storage — to customers ranging from enterprises to public cloud operators. Reuters The broader tape helped. Chipmakers led U.S. stocks higher on Friday, and

Caterpillar stock jumps toward $600 as 2026 begins — what to watch next for CAT sharesNEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 18:56 ET — Market closed

Caterpillar Inc (CAT.N) shares rose 4.4% on Friday, closing at $598.41 and finishing just shy of $600 after touching $599.60 in the session. The heavy-equipment maker opened at $577.59. The gain puts Caterpillar in focus before the next U.S. session, with investors shifting from year-end positioning to a data-heavy January. The employment report due Jan. 9 and the consumer price index on Jan. 13 are among the releases that can swing expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts; futures markets show little chance of a move at the late-January meeting and nearly a 50% chance of a quarter-point cut in March,
