Applied Digital (APLD) stock jumps 18% on hyperscaler talks and fresh financing—what matters next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 07:00 EST — Market closed Applied Digital shares surged 18% on Friday, closing at $37.68 following news of the data-center builder’s new contract and financing update. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, the stock is set to resume trading on Monday. This shift is crucial as Wall Street zeroes in on AI infrastructure leaders, and long-term leases with major cloud clients often signal more reliable revenue streams. A “hyperscaler” refers to a massive cloud provider; in data centers, “MW” (megawatts) measures the power capacity ready for servers. Applied Digital reported in its fiscal Q2

Walmart stock lands in the Nasdaq-100 on Jan. 20 — what investors watch next

New York, January 10, 2026, 07:15 EST — The market has closed. Walmart Inc (WMT) is set to enter the Nasdaq-100 Index before trading opens on Jan. 20, replacing Britain’s AstraZeneca, Nasdaq announced late Friday. The stock ended the day up 1.3% at $114.53, having fluctuated between $112.06 and $115.46, staying within roughly 2% of its 52-week high. U.S. markets will be closed on Jan. 19 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. (GlobeNewswire) This reshuffle has real impact since index funds, like ETFs, usually adjust by purchasing newcomers and unloading dropped stocks. Invesco’s QQQ, a major Nasdaq-100 ETF,

Roku stock set for Monday watch after Evercore upgrade, Citizens target hike

Roku stock set for Monday watch after Evercore upgrade, Citizens target hike

New York, January 10, 2026, 07:00 EST — Market closed Roku, Inc shares rose 2.1% to close at $111.17 on Friday, bucking a quiet start to the year for many streaming names after Evercore ISI upgraded the stock and Citizens lifted its price target. The timing matters because Roku’s core business leans on advertising, and traders have been quick to chase any sign that connected-TV ad demand is firming again. The analyst notes lean into 2026 as a setup year — not just for Roku-specific product work, but for bigger events that typically loosen marketing budgets. With U.S. markets shut

American Express stock dips as Trump pushes 10% credit-card rate cap; CPI, earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 06:36 EST — Market closed American Express (AXP) shares slid $7.36, or 1.9%, to $375.61 on Friday, as investors weighed President Donald Trump’s call for a one-year 10% cap on credit-card interest rates. The stock traded between $373.87 and $384.97, with about 2.8 million shares changing hands. (Financial Times) The rate-cap talk matters because issuers like American Express earn interest on balances that customers carry month to month, charged as an annual percentage rate, or APR, on top of fees tied to spending. It also hits as investors try to square consumer demand with stubborn

KLA stock jumps back near record highs as chip rally builds — here’s the next test

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 06:24 EST — Market closed KLA Corp shares closed up 5.7% at $1,400 on Friday, leaving the chip equipment maker within sight of its early-week high. (MarketWatch) The bounce came as chip stocks surged broadly, pushing the PHLX semiconductor index — a widely watched gauge of chipmakers — up 2.7% to a record high, after a weaker U.S. jobs report kept expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts intact. “Investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers,” said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments. (Reuters) The next macro check comes fast.

Valens Semiconductor stock jumps 59% on heavy volume as share-sale filings surface

Valens Semiconductor stock jumps 59% on heavy volume as share-sale filings surface

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 06:05 EST — Market closed Valens Semiconductor Ltd. shares jumped about 59% on Friday, ending at $2.48 as turnover spiked to roughly 45 million shares. (Finviz) The move drew attention because it came late in the week with little fresh headline news from the company itself. Valens’ newsroom showed its most recent release dated Jan. 6. (Valens Semiconductor) In that Jan. 6 statement, Valens said it landed a fourth design win for its VA7000 chipset using MIPI A-PHY, an automotive connectivity standard for high-speed links between sensors and compute units. “We’re thrilled to ring in

Mastercard stock in focus for Monday after Trump floats 10% credit-card rate cap

Mastercard stock in focus for Monday after Trump floats 10% credit-card rate cap

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 05:51 EST — The market has closed. Mastercard Incorporated shares enter Monday trading with credit policy in focus, following President Donald Trump’s call to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year starting Jan. 20. The stock closed down Friday, despite the broader market hitting new highs. The proposal focuses on card issuers rather than payment networks such as Mastercard, though traders frequently treat the sector as a whole. If the cap tightens credit availability, it could dampen card spending and curb loan growth — eventually weighing on transaction volumes. Timing is everything.

AMC stock pops 13% on a volume spike as options heat up and a Feb. 2 stock-sale window nears

AMC stock pops 13% on a volume spike as options heat up and a Feb. 2 stock-sale window nears

New York, January 10, 2026, 05:30 ET — Market closed AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc’s shares surged 13.1% to $1.64 on Friday, beating other movie-theater stocks amid heavy volume. About 71.6 million shares changed hands, nearly triple the 50-day average of 22.5 million. Still, AMC remains about 60% below its 52-week high of $4.08. (MarketWatch) Why it matters now: AMC is stuck close to its 12-month low, trading well beneath major moving averages that momentum investors track. According to MarketBeat data, the stock sits under its 50-day moving average of $2.07 and its 200-day average of $2.64. Notably, Friday’s session saw

Applied Materials stock jumps to $301 as Wall Street lifts targets — what matters before Monday

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:30 EST — The market has closed. Applied Materials (AMAT.O) jumped 6.9% on Friday, closing at $301.18 following a new wave of bullish price-target upgrades from Wall Street analysts. The chip-equipment maker’s shares hit a high of $302.70 and dipped to a low of $280 during the session. The notes come at a sensitive time for the group: investors are wrestling with whether chipmakers will maintain heavy spending into 2026 after last year’s surge in anything connected to data centers. Applied, which sells equipment for chip manufacturing, often sees its order trends lead the broader

Visa stock slips toward $350 as proxy-season filings hit ahead of annual meeting

Visa stock slips toward $350 as proxy-season filings hit ahead of annual meeting

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:05 EST — Market closed Visa Inc shares closed down 0.7% on Friday at $349.77, leaving the stock about 7% below its 52-week high, after a shareholder filing pushed a fresh proposal into focus ahead of the company’s annual meeting. (Visa Investor Relations) The filing matters because it lands in the narrow window when big funds start sizing up proxy ballots and headline risk can whipsaw a steady, “defensive growth” name like Visa. It also comes after two straight down sessions for the stock, at a time when investors have been quick to fade anything

Experian PLC stock jumps into weekend — what investors watch before the Jan. 21 update

London, Jan 10, 2026, 09:48 GMT — Market closed Experian shares closed Friday up 2.05% at 3,478 pence, outpacing the FTSE 100’s 0.8% gain. The stock fluctuated between 3,405p and 3,510p during the session. It’s trading roughly 15% below its 52-week peak of 4,101p, yet well above the year’s low of 3,049p. The shares are now ex-dividend, so anyone buying in won’t receive the upcoming payout. The price-to-earnings ratio stands near 29, a standard valuation metric, according to data from Hargreaves Lansdown. With the London market closed for the weekend, focus shifts to what lies ahead rather than past trades.

London, January 10, 2026, 09:29 GMT — Market closed Shares of Legal & General Group Plc (LGEN.L) last closed up 0.7% at 266.9 pence on Friday, after trading between 263.3p and 267.7p on the day. The move came as the FTSE 100 marked a record close of 10,126.6 points, up 0.8%, with traders still pricing in about 54 basis points of rate cuts in 2026 after a softer U.S. jobs report. (Investing.com) That matters now because insurers with big retirement and savings books tend to track shifts in interest-rate expectations.

Rio Tinto stock jumps as Glencore mega-merger is shelved; what to watch next week

7 February 2026

Both companies cited disagreements over valuation. Attention now turns to Rio’s Feb. 19 results and iron ore prices, which fell below $100 a tonne amid weak Chinese demand.
