Bloom Energy stock jumps 14% to start 2026 — key levels and catalysts before Monday’s open

Bloom Energy stock jumps 14% to start 2026 — key levels and catalysts before Monday’s open

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 15:39 ET — Market closed Bloom Energy Corporation shares (BE) surged 13.6% on Friday to close at $98.69, outpacing a rally across U.S.-listed fuel-cell makers. The jump put the stock back within sight of $100, a round-number level traders often treat as near-term resistance. A clean break above it would be a fresh momentum test when markets reopen on Monday. That matters because Bloom has become a high-beta proxy for behind-the-meter power — electricity generated on site rather than pulled from the grid — for data centers and other large users. With key U.S. economic

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas prices fall on warmer forecast — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:41 ET — Market closed EQT Corp shares finished the first trading day of 2026 lower after U.S. natural gas futures slipped on forecasts for milder weather across the country. The largest U.S. gas producer closed down 0.3% at $53.46 on Friday. Baird Maritime / Work Boat World The move matters because January is the heart of the U.S. heating season, when small shifts in temperature forecasts can swing demand and, by extension, gas prices and producer margins. Traders are also weighing record supply against the export pull from LNG terminals. Baird Maritime / Work

PBF Energy stock in focus after U.S. strikes Venezuela; Martinez restart, earnings date ahead

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 08:38 ET — Market closed PBF Energy Inc. shares head into Monday’s U.S. session with traders gauging the oil fallout after the United States struck Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro. Trump said Washington would run Venezuela during a transition and that U.S. oil companies would move in, while Maduro is expected to make an initial appearance in Manhattan federal court on Monday, according to a Justice Department official. The stakes for refiners are immediate. They buy crude oil and sell gasoline and diesel, and the profit gap between those prices — the “crack spread”

Phillips 66 stock in focus after U.S. strike in Venezuela jolts crude flow outlook

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 08:39 ET — Market closed Phillips 66 shares will be in focus when U.S. trading resumes Monday after the United States seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a Saturday operation that threatens to reshape crude flows and refinery economics. The refiner’s stock last closed at $130.57, up about 1.2%.  MarketWatch The weekend escalation matters now because it landed when markets were shut, forcing investors to reprice energy names at the next open with limited price discovery in between. For refiners such as Phillips 66, the key swing factor is whether Washington’s policy leads to a

Bloom Energy stock jumps 14% to start 2026 as Wells Fargo credit line and options heat draw focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:20 ET — Market closed Bloom Energy Corp shares surged on the first trading day of 2026, closing Friday up 13.58% at $98.69. The fuel-cell maker swung between $88.86 and $98.85 as volume rose to about 11.6 million shares, according to Investing.com data. Investing The rally matters because Bloom has become a high-beta proxy for the “data center power” trade, where investors have rewarded companies promising fast, on-site electricity supply as grid upgrades lag demand. The flip side is volatility: financing headlines and interest-rate expectations can move the stock quickly. In the options market, bullish

Eos Energy (EOSE) stock surges on heavy options flow — what traders are watching next

Eos Energy (EOSE) stock surges on heavy options flow — what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:30 ET — Market closed Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. shares ended Friday’s session up 13.18% at $12.97, after the first U.S. trading day of 2026 put smaller, higher-volatility names back in focus. The stock was last indicated at $13.04 in after-hours trading. MarketBeat The jump matters because Eos is one of the market’s more heavily shorted energy-storage names, which can turn a routine bounce into a faster rally as bearish traders buy shares back to limit losses. Friday’s move also came as small caps outperformed in a broader risk-on tilt to start the year. Reuters

Energy Fuels stock today: UUUU jumps 15% as uranium miners rally into 2026 — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:00 ET — Market closed Energy Fuels Inc (UUUU) shares jumped 14.9% on Friday to close at $16.68, with about 14.9 million shares traded. U.S. markets were closed on Sunday. The move matters because Energy Fuels is a high-beta proxy for investor appetite toward nuclear-fuel supply chains and U.S.-based critical materials, a theme that has been prone to sharp reversals. It also shows how quickly positioning can shift at the start of a new year in thinly covered miners, where flows can amplify price swings. Energy Fuels, based near Denver, produces uranium and is developing

Fluence Energy (FLNC) stock jumps 16% to start 2026 — what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:42 ET — Market closed. Fluence Energy shares surged 16.3% on Friday to $23.01, finishing the first U.S. trading session of 2026 sharply higher. The outsized move put the spotlight back on battery-storage names, a corner of clean energy that investors often treat as a high-beta bet on grid investment and power-demand growth. It also came as markets turned to a familiar driver: rates. “Value is outperforming growth and AI infrastructure is up,” said Jed Ellerbroek, a portfolio manager at Argent Capital. Reuters The surge in Fluence echoed gains across solar and storage-linked stocks. First

Exxon Mobil stock ends higher as OPEC+ meeting and Venezuela headlines hit oil

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 03:49 ET — Market closed. Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) shares rose 1.9% to $122.65 on Friday, with about 14.2 million shares traded, as investors bought energy names ahead of an OPEC+ supply meeting and weekend headlines out of Venezuela. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday. The stock is a proxy for the oil tape. Traders are trying to gauge whether producers will keep supply disciplined as the market weighs fears of a glut against fresh geopolitical risks. That matters for Exxon because its upstream business — oil and gas production — tends to move with

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 03:47 ET — Market closed Chevron Corp (CVX) shares rose 2.3% to close at $155.90 on Friday. Weekend reports said Venezuela’s oil exports have been paralyzed, including tankers chartered by state-run PDVSA’s main partner Chevron. Port captains have not received requests to authorize loaded ships to set sail, and a prolonged halt could force output cuts as storage fills, the sources said. Reuters The timing matters for energy traders because crude markets are trying to find direction after a bruising year.

Valero stock ends higher to start 2026 — OPEC+ meeting and Jan. 29 earnings are next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 03:45 ET — Market closed Valero Energy Corp (VLO) shares rose about 1.5% on Friday to close at $165.31, after trading between $162.08 and $165.67. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday. The move sets up a week where crude supply policy and geopolitical headlines could keep energy prices — and refining margins — in play. For refiners such as Valero, investors track the crack spread — the gap between the cost of crude and the selling price of fuels such as gasoline and diesel — as a shorthand for earnings power. Valero said it will

ConocoPhillips stock (COP) jumps 3% as OPEC+ meeting and Venezuela headlines loom

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 03:44 ET — Market closed ConocoPhillips shares rose 3.3% to $96.70 at Friday’s close, outperforming larger rivals Exxon Mobil and Chevron and finishing with higher-than-average trading volume. The stock remains about 9% below its 52-week high, according to market data. MarketWatch The outperformance matters because oil producers’ cash flow expectations still pivot on crude prices, which can swing quickly on supply headlines. For ConocoPhillips, a pure-play upstream producer, shifts in the oil market typically flow straight into earnings power and shareholder-return capacity. Investors are also tracking OPEC+, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries plus
