New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:30 EST — Regular session IREN Limited shares jumped roughly 9% to $50.05 by midday Monday, hitting an intraday peak of $50.84.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:58 PM ET — Regular session Eos Energy Enterprises shares surged almost 10% Monday, hitting $16.76 by midday and pushing the battery producer back onto momentum watchlists after a strong start.
