Why Plug Power (PLUG) stock is moving today: reverse split warning puts shareholder vote in focus

Why Plug Power (PLUG) stock is moving today: reverse split warning puts shareholder vote in focus

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 07:20 ET — Premarket Plug Power shares rose 1.8% in premarket trading on Friday, changing hands at $1.97. The hydrogen fuel-cell and electrolyzer maker is pressing shareholders to back charter amendments that would broaden its flexibility to issue stock, a flashpoint for investors wary of dilution. The timing matters because the proposals sit at the intersection of funding and governance. Investors often treat any path toward new share issuance — or a reverse split — as a near-term catalyst for small-cap names under financing scrutiny. In an email to certain stockholders filed with the U.S.

JD.com stock today: JD steadies near 52-week low as China stimulus signals meet caution

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 07:03 ET — Premarket JD.com, Inc (JD) shares were down about 0.1% at $28.70 in U.S. premarket trading on Friday, hovering near their 52-week low. Google The muted move matters because JD’s U.S.-listed American depositary shares (ADS) often act as a liquid proxy for bets on China’s consumer economy. With the stock pinned near the bottom of its annual range, traders are highly sensitive to Beijing’s latest signals on growth and demand support. Policy headlines are landing as investors reassess what will drive China internet and e-commerce earnings early in 2026: a stronger domestic spending

Strive (ASST) stock edges up premarket after Glass Lewis backs Semler merger vote

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 06:55 ET — Premarket Shares of Strive, Inc. (ASST) — parent of Strive Asset Management, LLC — rose about 1.1% in premarket trading on Friday. The move puts fresh attention on Strive’s proposed all-stock acquisition of Semler Scientific, where shareholder voting mechanics and proxy-adviser guidance can swing sentiment quickly. The deal’s timing matters because it is stock-for-stock: shifts in Strive’s share price can change the implied value offered to Semler holders day by day, even before anyone casts a vote. In a Form 425 filing, Strive disclosed a repost on X by CFO Ben Pham

CoreWeave (CRWV) stock in focus as insider sale filing lands ahead of Friday open

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 06:38 ET — Premarket CoreWeave shares were flat at $71.61 in premarket trading on Friday, after sliding 3.1% in the previous session. The stock is starting the new year under a bright spotlight because investors have grown sensitive to insider selling at fast-growing, capital-intensive AI infrastructure firms, where funding needs can move sentiment quickly. That sensitivity comes as CoreWeave pushes to add data center capacity to meet demand for AI computing, even as the company’s shares remain far below their mid-2025 peak.

TeraWulf stock climbs in premarket after KBW upgrade, $24 target; bitcoin near $89,000

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:02 ET — Premarket TeraWulf Inc (WULF) shares rose 2.9% to $11.49 in premarket trading, lifting off a previous close of $11.17. The move puts the spotlight back on bitcoin-linked stocks at the start of 2026, after analysts argued the market is still struggling to price miners that are trying to become data-center operators. That shift matters now because high-performance computing (HPC) — data centers that rent power, space and cooling for intensive workloads such as artificial intelligence — tends to offer longer-dated, contracted revenue than bitcoin mining. It also requires heavy upfront spending and

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:55 ET — Market closed Nike shares ended the last U.S. trading session up 4.2% at $63.71, after a regulatory filing showed Chief Executive Elliott Hill bought about $1 million worth of stock. Insider buying — when executives use personal funds to buy shares — often draws attention because it can signal confidence at a moment when investors are debating whether a turnaround is taking hold. That matters now for Nike because the stock has been under pressure and year-end trading can exaggerate moves, with investors repositioning for the start of the new year. A

DoorDash stock dips on year-end slide as markets shut for New Year’s Day — what’s next for DASH

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:00 ET — Market closed DoorDash, Inc. shares ended the last trading day of 2025 lower, mirroring a broad pullback that capped the year in thin holiday-week trading. The move matters because the first trading sessions of 2026 will test whether investors keep trimming higher-growth consumer internet names or rotate back into them as liquidity returns. For DoorDash, the near-term focus remains demand momentum and cost discipline, two drivers that can swing expectations quickly when the market’s appetite for risk shifts. DASH finished at $226.48 on Wednesday, down 0.7% from the prior close, with about
