Century Communities stock jumps 11% on mortgage-rate bet — what to watch before Monday

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 21:01 EST — Market closed. Century Communities Inc shares were last up 10.7% at $68.33 on Friday, after swinging between $61.60 and $68.74 on the day. Volume totaled about 707,000 shares.

Homebuilders Lennar, D.R. Horton and PulteGroup also climbed, and Annex Wealth Management’s Brian Jacobsen called the move potentially “self-defeating,” saying the bigger issue is “supply, not demand.” (Reuters)

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 19:14 (EST) — Market closed Nasdaq-listed IREN Limited edged up 0.7% to $46.03 on Friday and could face a new test when markets reopen on Monday, with bitcoin holding near $91,000 late Sunday.
