AST SpaceMobile stock jumps 15% as BlueBird 7 reaches Florida; what to watch next

New York, January 4, 2026, 18:42 ET — Market closed AST SpaceMobile shares closed up 14.9% on Friday at $83.47 after swinging between $69.25 and $83.76, with about 19 million shares traded.

Applied Materials stock jumps 4.6% as chip rally kicks off 2026 — what moves AMAT next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 18:02 ET — Market closed Applied Materials (AMAT.O) shares closed up 4.6% on Friday at $268.87, after swinging between $260 and $271.21 in the session. The move matters now because semiconductor equipment makers sit early in the chip supply chain. When chipmakers lift factory spending, orders for deposition and etch tools usually follow, and the stocks often move first. With AMAT back near recent highs after a choppy end to December, investors are looking for proof that AI-linked capital spending can stay strong even as rate expectations and trade policy remain in flux.

CoreWeave stock (CRWV) in focus after SEC filing eases liquidity and covenant tests

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 17:38 ET — Market closed CoreWeave, Inc. said it amended a key credit agreement to ease near-term liquidity and covenant requirements, aligning the facility with a delivery schedule it discussed on its last earnings call. SEC The changes matter because CoreWeave’s growth hinges on financing and deploying large amounts of computing infrastructure. Covenant headroom — the buffer before a lender test is breached — can shape how comfortably a company can keep investing without raising fresh capital. They also put specific dates on the calendar that traders will track into the next session. The company’s

Robinhood stock sets Feb. 10 earnings date — here’s what HOOD traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 17:18 ET — Market closed Robinhood Markets said it will release fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results on Feb. 10 after market close, setting the next major catalyst for HOOD stock ahead of the first full earnings season of 2026. The company said Chairman and CEO Vlad Tenev and incoming CFO Shiv Verma will host a video call at 5 p.m. ET. GlobeNewswire The timing matters because Robinhood is often treated as a real-time gauge of retail participation — especially in options and crypto — where volumes can swing sharply with volatility and risk sentiment.

Alphabet (GOOG) stock heads into Monday: jobs data, insider filing and a $310 support test

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 17:03 ET — Market closed Alphabet Inc’s Class C shares (GOOG) rose 0.5% on Friday to $315.32, finishing the week higher as U.S. markets opened 2026 with choppy trading. That matters now because Alphabet is one of the largest weights in U.S. equity benchmarks, and January’s data calendar is set to drive rate expectations that can reprice megacap tech quickly. The next macro jolt is the Jan. 9 U.S. employment report, followed by the Jan. 13 consumer price index. Fed funds futures show investors are still debating how quickly the Federal Reserve can cut again

Amazon stock slips into 2026 — here’s what Wall Street watches next for AMZN

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 4:25 PM ET — Market closed Amazon.com, Inc. shares (AMZN) ended Friday down 1.9% at $226.50, starting 2026 on the back foot after a choppy session that ranged from $224.71 to $235.39. The move matters now because investors are resetting positions after year-end and quickly repricing growth stocks around the interest-rate outlook. Small shifts in expectations on rates can swing valuation for big tech names like Amazon, where much of the investment case rests on future cash flows. Friday’s trade reflected a split market. Chip stocks rallied, but consumer discretionary shares — companies tied to

Nvidia stock heads into CES week as insider sale filing lands and key data looms

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 16:19 ET — Market closed Nvidia shares closed up 1.26% at $188.85 on Friday, the first trading day of 2026, as semiconductor stocks rebounded. Yahoo Finance The move matters because Nvidia (NVDA.O) remains a bellwether for the AI trade and a heavyweight in U.S. equity indexes. When investors rotate into or out of chip stocks, Nvidia often sets the tone. With U.S. markets shut on Sunday, traders head into Monday with a tight set of near-term catalysts: a high-profile CES appearance by CEO Jensen Huang and fresh U.S. economic data that can shift interest-rate expectations.

CSL Limited stock steadies near a 52-week low as Australia CPI and February results loom

Sydney, January 4, 2026, 16:07 ET — Market closed CSL shares ended the first trading session of 2026 lower, keeping the Australian biotech pinned near a 52-week trough as markets head into a fuller week of macro data.  Yahoo Finance Why that matters now is simple: the stock has been trading like a confidence barometer after last year’s guidance reset, and there is little fresh company news to change the narrative before the next catalysts. In that vacuum, investors tend to trade the stock off rates expectations and a handful of hard dates on the calendar.  Reuters CSL’s next scheduled

Workday stock slips to new 52-week low as investors brace for jobs data and Feb earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 15:21 ET — Market closed Workday (WDAY.O) shares slid 4.2% on Friday to close at $205.79 after touching a fresh 52-week low of $202.22, trading data showed. Volume ran at roughly 6 million shares, more than double the stock’s average. SoFi The drop leaves the enterprise-software maker pinned near a round-number level investors often watch for support around $200. It also puts Workday back in the crosshairs of the rates trade that has periodically punished pricier software names. That matters now because markets are heading into a data-heavy week after a period of disrupted releases

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 14:58 ET — Market closed Accenture plc (ACN) shares ended Friday down 3.1% at $259.95, their third straight session of losses. Marketwatch The decline left the IT consulting firm lagging a broader market that finished higher on the first trading day of 2026, helped by gains in chipmakers. Reuters Why it matters now: Accenture heads into the first full week of the year with its stock about 35% below its 52-week high of $398.35, leaving the shares more sensitive to shifts in risk appetite. Marketwatch Macro catalysts arrive before company ones. The U.S. government is
