Deckers Outdoor stock drops as Needham pulls DECK from Conviction List, putting Hoka growth back under a microscope

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 15:10 (ET) — Regular session Deckers Outdoor (DECK) shares fell 4.2% on Friday, slipping to $102.85 in afternoon trading after an early pop faded and the stock turned lower. Shares swung between $108.72 and $102.18. The drop landed even as the broader market held firm, a sign traders were treating this as a stock-specific story. A weaker U.S. jobs report pushed investors to price in a longer pause in Federal Reserve rate cuts, a backdrop that can make growth stocks and consumer names twitchy. (Reuters) Needham analyst Tom Nikic on Thursday removed Deckers from the

Why L3Harris stock is up today: Trump’s $1.5T budget push meets buyback crackdown

New York, January 9, 2026, 15:28 EST — Regular session L3Harris Technologies (LHX.N) shares rose 2.8% to $334.84 in afternoon trading on Friday, after touching $337.97 earlier in the session. The stock is moving on a policy one-two punch: talk of a bigger Pentagon budget, and fresh pressure on contractors to speed up deliveries. That matters now because the sector’s valuation leans on two things that Washington can change fast — future orders and how much cash comes back to shareholders. Defense contractors are seeking legal advice after President Donald Trump signed an executive order tying share buybacks — company

Vertiv stock rebounds after Thursday slide as jobs data steadies rate-cut bets

Vertiv stock rebounds after Thursday slide as jobs data steadies rate-cut bets

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:12 EST — Regular session Shares of Vertiv Holdings Co rose 1.5% to $163.24 in afternoon trading on Friday, clawing back some ground after a sharp drop in the prior session. The data center power-and-cooling supplier fell 6.3% on Thursday, a swing that left the stock nursing losses after a tech-led pullback in U.S. equities ahead of the monthly jobs report. (Investing.com) That matters now because Vertiv trades like a rate-sensitive growth name: when investors lean toward interest-rate cuts, high-multiple infrastructure suppliers tend to catch a bid. Broader U.S. indexes were higher on Friday after

Why Abercrombie & Fitch stock is sliding today despite a UBS target hike

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:54 EST — Regular session Abercrombie & Fitch shares fell about 3.7% to $125.09 in afternoon trading on Friday, after swinging between $133.16 and $124.17. The drop came as investors digested a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that pulled attention back to the health of the consumer — and the path for interest rates. “Hiring is still stuck in stall speed,” said Olu Sonola, head of U.S. economic research at Fitch Ratings, after payrolls rose 50,000 in December; the report also showed job losses in retail and left expectations intact for the Federal Reserve to hold

Scorpio Tankers stock slips as BofA downgrade revives “peak rates” debate

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:45 EST — Regular session Shares of Scorpio Tankers Inc fell about 2.3% on Friday after Bank of America Securities cut its rating on the product tanker operator, pointing to signs the freight market may be closer to a top. The stock was down $1.32 at $54.86 in afternoon trading. The call matters because tanker stocks can move fast when analysts start leaning the other way on day rates, which drive earnings for many shipping owners. Scorpio’s shares had climbed in recent sessions, leaving less room for disappointment when the next set of rate and

Scotiabank analyst Andres Coello cut AST SpaceMobile to Sector Underperform — roughly a sell — and put a $45.60 price target on it, saying the valuation had climbed to “irrational levels” even though the company has

XRP price slips near $2 after Ripple’s UK FCA win — what traders watch next

XRP price slips near $2 after Ripple’s UK FCA win — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:40 EST — Regular session XRP fell 1.9% to $2.09 on Friday, after touching $2.15 earlier in the session. Bitcoin eased 0.4% and ether fell about 1%. The dip came as traders weighed Ripple’s latest UK regulatory clearance against a cooler tone across risk assets. The UK move matters because it gives Ripple a fresh regulatory foothold in a major payments hub, at a time when crypto firms are trying to look more like infrastructure and less like a trade. XRP, a token tied closely to Ripple headlines, tends to react fast when regulation shifts.
