New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:24 EST — After-hours SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares closed down 1.1% at $27.40 on Friday and were last hovering near that level in late trading, after a week of choppy moves that left the stock out of step with the broader market’s record run.

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 19:18 EST — After-hours Visa Inc shares slipped in after-hours trading on Friday, closing down 0.7% at $349.77. Mastercard fell 0.8% and American Express dropped 1.9% in the same session. The move came even as the S&P 500 logged a record close after a mixed U.S. jobs report kept rate-cut hopes alive. U.S. payrolls rose by 50,000 in December and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%, a print that helped support expectations for easing later this year — measured in “basis points,” or hundredths of a percentage point.

Rocket Companies stock jumps nearly 10% as Trump’s $200 billion mortgage-bond move sparks housing rally

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 18:26 EST — After-hours Rocket Companies (RKT.N) shares closed up 9.65% at $23.29 on Friday, after a sharp housing-linked rally tied to President Donald Trump’s call for large mortgage-bond purchases. The stock touched $23.41 in the session and was little changed in after-hours trading. (Nasdaq) The move matters because Rocket’s business swings with mortgage rates and loan volume. When rates fall, refinancing can thaw quickly and purchase activity tends to follow, even if the pickup comes in fits and starts. Trump’s plan put rates back in focus.
