Bitmine Immersion stock jumps as Tom Lee pitches vote to expand share authorization

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:39 ET — Market closed Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (BMNR) closed up 14.88% on Friday at $31.19, with about 58.4 million shares traded, after the company promoted a shareholder vote to dramatically increase the number of shares it is allowed to issue.

Occidental Petroleum (OXY) stock climbs on $9.7B OxyChem sale to Berkshire as markets shut for weekend

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 05:50 ET — Market closed Occidental Petroleum shares ended Friday up 3.06% at $42.38 after the company completed a $9.7 billion all-cash sale of its OxyChem chemicals business to Berkshire Hathaway. A regulatory filing showed Occidental published unaudited pro forma financial statements, which adjust past results as if the sale and certain debt redemptions had already happened. The stock’s 52-week range is $34.78 to $53.20, according to the company’s investor site.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 05:32 ET — Market closed Caterpillar Inc shares (CAT) rose $25.54, or 4.46%, to close at $598.41 on Friday.

Hyperscale Data (GPUS) stock jumps nearly 49% after insider buying disclosed — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 04:43 ET — Market closed Hyperscale Data, Inc. shares surged on Friday after a regulatory filing disclosed sizable insider purchases by the company’s executive chairman. The stock closed at $0.2730, up 48.69% from Thursday’s close, according to Investing.com data.

Carvana stock drops 5% after insider sale filings; what CVNA investors watch next week

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 04:22 ET — Market closed Carvana Co shares fell 5.2% on Friday to $400.25, the last close before U.S. markets shut for the weekend. The drop left Carvana lagging a broader market that started 2026 with modest gains, putting the spotlight back on single-stock catalysts after thin holiday trading. Reuters That matters for Carvana because the stock has become a high-volatility gauge of risk appetite, and investors are looking for fresh signals early in the new year. “The market is looking for direction,” Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, told Reuters.

AST SpaceMobile stock jumps nearly 15% as BlueBird 6 orbit milestone refocuses traders on 2026 rollout

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 03:57 ET — Market closed Shares of AST SpaceMobile Inc rose 14.9% on Friday to close at $83.47, after swinging between $69.25 and $83.76.

Polestar stock plunges after BBVA’s 8.4% stake filing reveals Geely-linked exit option

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:35 ET Shares of Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC fell 6.9% to $19.81 on Friday and swung between $23.29 and $19.67, after a regulatory disclosure highlighted a large new stake tied to a Geely-linked exit option. The disclosure matters because Polestar is leaning on fresh funding to shore up its balance sheet, and the terms attached to that capital can influence how investors value the stock.

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:10 ET — Regular session Shares of SailPoint, Inc. fell about 6.5% on Friday, giving the identity security software maker one of the sharpest declines among mid-cap cybersecurity stocks. The drop matters because investors are opening the new year reassessing risk after 2025’s strong run, with attention shifting back to valuations and the interest-rate outlook that tends to drive high-growth software.
