Bloom Energy stock jumps 14% on $502M Quanta microgrid disclosure — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 8:00 PM ET — Market closed Bloom Energy Corp shares surged 13.6% on Friday to close at $98.69, putting the fuel-cell maker in focus heading into Monday’s U.S. session. The rally matters because it underscores how quickly traders are chasing signs that demand for on-site power is turning into large, disclosed spending commitments. It also comes as investors test whether project announcements translate into revenue and cash collections, not just headlines. A late-December disclosure from Taiwan helped sharpen that debate. Quanta Computer said its U.S. unit would buy fuel-cell microgrid systems from Bloom for about

New York, January 4, 2026, 19:09 ET — Market closed Nike shares ended the first U.S. session of 2026 lower, trimming a late-December rebound that had been fueled by insider-buying disclosures. The stock closed down 0.7% at $63.28 on Friday.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
