Tesla stock heads into Monday after Friday bounce as robotaxi talk and earnings loom

Tesla stock heads into Monday after Friday bounce as robotaxi talk and earnings loom

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 18:40 (ET) — Market closed. Tesla shares ended Friday higher, closing up about 2.1% at $445.01. The stock traded between $430.39 and $449.05 and changed hands about 67.2 million times. (Yahoo Finance) The electric-vehicle maker’s stock is still trading on two clocks. There is demand for cars right now, and there is the longer bet on autonomy and robotics that keeps pulling money back in. That split matters going into Monday because it makes TSLA jumpy. Macro data can move it, but so can any stray headline on “driverless” tech, even when it’s not Tesla’s.

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 18:32 EST — Market closed Shares of Rocket Companies surged nearly 10% Friday following President Donald Trump’s announcement that he ordered $200 billion in mortgage-bond purchases, a move investors interpreted as aiming to lower mortgage rates.

Opendoor stock jumps on Trump’s $200 billion mortgage-bond plan — what to know before Monday

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 18:16 EST — Market closed U.S. markets are shut for the weekend, but Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN.O) is coming off a strong Friday. Shares finished up 13.2% at $7.29, on volume around 167 million. The stock swung between $6.82 and $7.91 during the session. Opendoor’s approach is straightforward but fragile. It buys homes, holds inventory, and aims to flip them fast. Rising mortgage rates, however, can stall that turnover almost immediately. Even slight changes in borrowing costs impact demand, pricing, and financing expenses for the homes it owns. Housing-related stocks surged Friday after President Donald

Applied Materials stock jumps nearly 7% on fresh Wall Street targets as AI spending debate heats up

Applied Materials stock jumps nearly 7% on fresh Wall Street targets as AI spending debate heats up

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 15:21 EST — Market closed Applied Materials, Inc. shares ended Friday up 6.9% at $301.18. The chip-equipment maker saw volatile trading, swinging between $280 and $302.70 before heading into Monday’s open. This matters since Applied offers one of the clearest signals on semiconductor capital spending — the budgets chipmakers allocate for new equipment — and investors are once again re-evaluating those 2026 budgets, trying to untangle AI-driven demand from the broader cycle. Friday’s rally extended across chip stocks following a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that left rate-cut hopes mostly unchanged. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index
