Valero (VLO) stock slides as Venezuela oil talks loom and an analyst trims a target

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:39 (EST) — Regular trading Valero Energy shares fell 3.2% to $185.16 Friday afternoon, after hitting an intraday low of $182.70. Marathon Petroleum was off 0.1% and Phillips 66 dropped 1.1%. Piper Sandler lowered its Valero price target to $217 from $223 and stuck with an “overweight” rating, The Fly reported. (TipRanks) The pullback comes with traders watching Washington. The White House was convening a meeting on Friday with oil producers, refiners and trading houses to discuss potential investment in Venezuela’s energy sector, a White House official said. Valero and Marathon were among the companies

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas price drops 6% in midday trade

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:52 EST — Regular session EQT Corp shares fell about 2.4% to $50.96 in afternoon trading, tracking a fresh leg down in U.S. natural gas prices. Front-month Henry Hub natural gas futures for February were down 6.1% at $3.198 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a common unit used to price gas. (Investing.com South Africa) The moves matter because producers’ realised prices and cash flow are tied, directly or not, to the futures curve. In winter, weather models can flip demand in a hurry, and equities tend to follow the screen even when company news

Chevron stock rises on Venezuela export scramble as White House talks loom

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 12:28 EST — Regular session Chevron shares rose about 1.5% to $161.57 in midday trading on Friday, keeping the oil major in focus as Washington weighs who gets to move Venezuelan crude under new U.S. oversight. Jean-Francois Lambert of consultancy Lambert Commodities said trading houses bring “global reach and optionality” that majors often lack. (Reuters) The move matters because Chevron is heading into a White House meeting later on Friday with other oil producers and trading firms as the Trump administration pushes a plan to steer Venezuelan oil sales, people familiar with the matter said.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) stock ticks up as filing flags up to $1.2 bln Q4 upstream hit

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:39 EST — Regular session Exxon Mobil (XOM) shares rose 0.6% to $123.63 on Friday after the oil major said lower crude prices could cut fourth-quarter upstream earnings — its oil and gas production business — by about $800 million to $1.2 billion. It also said stronger refining margins, the gap between crude costs and fuel prices, could lift earnings by $300 million to $700 million, while restructuring charges may shave about $200 million. Analysts expect adjusted earnings of $1.66 per share; “many brokers, including us, have yet to mark to market,” Scotiabank analysts wrote.

EQT stock drifts as U.S. natural gas prices slide again, with storage and weather in play

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:22 (EST) — Regular session EQT Corp slipped 0.2% to $52.12 during Friday morning trading. The move followed a selloff in the previous session, as investors pulled back from gas-linked producers while U.S. gas prices softened. U.S. natural gas futures slipped roughly 2%, landing near $3.33 per million British thermal units (mmBtu)—the figure traders use to benchmark gas deals. These small price shifts have an outsized effect right now, with just a few cents making or breaking cash flow forecasts for producers linked closely to Henry Hub pricing, according to markets.businessinsider.com.

Denison Mines stock in focus after SaskPower line brings grid power to Phoenix uranium site

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:13 EST — Premarket Denison Mines Corp shares edged up about 0.2% to $3.33 in U.S. premarket trade on Friday, after the Canadian uranium developer said grid power is now available at the site of its planned Phoenix mine in northern Saskatchewan. In a Form 6-K filing, Denison said Saskatchewan Power Corp has completed a new 138-kilovolt transmission line to the Phoenix site, a step it has flagged as critical for first-year construction work. Chief executive David Cates called the hookup a “major Project milestone” and said the line was installed “on schedule and on

Why Vistra (VST) stock is jumping premarket: Meta signs 20-year nuclear power deals

Why Vistra (VST) stock is jumping premarket: Meta signs 20-year nuclear power deals

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 07:23 EST — Premarket Vistra Corp shares jumped roughly 8% in premarket trading on Friday after Meta Platforms said it had signed 20-year deals to purchase electricity from three of Vistra’s nuclear facilities. Meta said the agreements include Vistra’s Perry and Davis-Besse plants in Ohio and the Beaver Valley plant in Pennsylvania. (reuters.com) The development puts power generators back front and center as Big Tech races to lock in reliable electricity for surging data center demand.

NuScale Power stock jumps in premarket after BofA upgrade lifts SMR shares

NuScale Power stock jumps in premarket after BofA upgrade lifts SMR shares

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 07:19 EST — Premarket NuScale Power shares jumped about 12% in premarket trading on Friday after Bank of America Securities upgraded the nuclear technology company. The stock was up around $2.4 at $22.08 after closing at $19.67 on Thursday. (StockAnalysis) The move matters because NuScale has been a proxy trade for the market’s bigger debate on power demand and financing: how fast “advanced nuclear” projects can move from headlines to funded orders. It is also the kind of high-beta name that can gap sharply on broker calls, then give it back just as quickly once

Crude oil price stock jumps before the open as Venezuela talks and Iran unrest lift oil-linked shares

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 06:48 (EST) — Premarket Oil-linked shares edged up in U.S. premarket trading on Friday, putting the crude-oil theme back on traders’ screens as geopolitical tensions rekindled demand. Chevron rose 2.6% to $159.25, Exxon Mobil climbed 3.7% to $122.91 and ConocoPhillips advanced 5.1% to $98.72; the United States Oil Fund (USO) gained about 4.1% to $70.54. It matters right now because headlines tied to Venezuela have been whipping oil both ways — near-term supply looks tighter, but there’s also a chance of more barrels showing up later. That push-pull is bleeding into equities just as traders

EQT stock wobbles as U.S. natural gas prices slide on warm weather signals

New York, January 9, 2026, 06:31 EST — Premarket Shares of EQT Corp (EQT) were little changed in early premarket trade on Friday, after the U.S. gas producer fell 4.2% in the previous session amid renewed pressure on natural gas prices. Gas matters again because the latest slide has come fast, and it hits producers’ cash flow straight away. The Henry Hub spot price sank to $3.11 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) on Wednesday, down from $3.96 a week earlier, while the February NYMEX futures contract ended Wednesday at $3.525, the Energy Information Administration said.

Constellation Energy Corporation stock slides after Calpine deal closes — here’s what investors watch next

New York, January 8, 2026, 21:09 EST — Market closed Constellation Energy Corp (CEG) shares dropped 4.8% to $322.54 on Thursday following the completion of its acquisition of privately held Calpine from Energy Capital Partners. The deal increases the combined generation capacity to 55 gigawatts, making Constellation the largest electricity producer in the United States, the company said. Constellation Markets concentrate on one main issue: firm power. Data centers vie for a steady supply while the grid’s capacity to meet peak demand declines. Constellation plans to combine nuclear “always on” generation with Calpine’s natural gas and geothermal assets. Chief Executive
