IBM stock climbs as Jefferies turns bullish and lifts target to $360

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 14:09 (EST) — Regular session International Business Machines (IBM.N) shares rose 1.6% to $296.24 in afternoon trading on Monday, after Jefferies upgraded the stock and RBC Capital raised its price target.

Astera Labs stock drops 8% after insider sale plan disclosed — what traders watch next

Astera Labs stock drops 8% after insider sale plan disclosed — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 13:45 EST — Regular session Astera Labs shares fell 8.4% to $164.50 on Monday, after swinging from a session high near $185 to a low around $162.5. More than 5 million shares had traded by early afternoon. The move matters because Astera has become a high-volatility proxy for investor appetite for AI infrastructure spending, where sentiment can turn quickly on positioning and supply. A sharp reversal early in the year can amplify stop-loss selling and make intraday liquidity more fragile. Insider-selling signals draw extra attention in fast-rising semiconductor names, even when the amounts are small

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 13:41 EST — Regular session Bitcoin rose 3.3% to $94,161 by early afternoon on Monday, and crypto-linked stocks climbed with it.

The move has sparked legal and diplomatic backlash and revived concern over spillovers into energy markets and broader risk appetite. Reuters Bitcoin is starting 2026 on firmer footing after dropping 6.4%

AAOI stock slides nearly 11% after $41 pop; what Applied Optoelectronics investors watch next

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 13:30 EST — Regular session Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (AAOI) shares fell nearly 11% on Monday, erasing an early jump that briefly lifted the stock above $41. The retreat came even as broader U.S. equities and chip-related names traded higher, underlining how quickly positioning can flip in the optical components maker. Applied Optoelectronics sells optical transceivers — plug-in hardware that converts electrical signals into light to move data through fiber. Why it matters now: the stock has become a high-beta proxy for capital spending on AI-linked data centers, where demand is shifting toward faster links. Investors

Nike stock climbs as BTIG tags $100 target, UBS sees stronger brand signals

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 13:28 EST — Regular session Nike, Inc. (NKE) shares rose about 2.5% to $64.89 on Monday, after fresh analyst commentary highlighted improving brand signals and a 2026 catalyst set. The stock traded between $63.27 and $65.36 in the session. The notes matter because investors are trying to gauge whether Nike’s turnaround is gaining traction early in 2026, after a period of uneven demand and margin pressure. Wall Street is watching for signs that product refreshes and tighter distribution can lift sales without forcing deeper discounts. For traders, the near-term debate is timing. A long-dated recovery

Ondas Holdings stock rises on Jan. 16 investor day plan, SEC resale filing sharpens focus on 2026 outlook

New York, January 5, 2026, 13:05 (ET) — Regular session Shares of Ondas Holdings Inc (ONDS.O) rose 6.5% to $11.74 in early afternoon trade on Monday after the company set a January 16 investor day and disclosed an SEC resale registration tied to its autonomous systems business. SEC The investor day matters because Ondas said it expects to lay out an updated 2026 business plan and a financial outlook, including revenue-growth assumptions and investment priorities. That is the next hard catalyst for a stock that has been driven by event risk and incremental disclosures rather than a steady earnings cadence.

SoFi stock jumps as bullish options bets build ahead of Jan. 30 earnings

New York, January 5, 2026, 12:55 (EST) — Regular session SoFi Technologies Inc (SOFI.O) shares rose about 7.5% on Monday to $29.53, after trading between $27.52 and $29.84 earlier in the session. About 44.9 million shares had changed hands by early afternoon. The move matters now because SoFi has become a high-volatility barometer for risk appetite in consumer finance and fintech.

Intuit stock edges up after Jefferies flags TurboTax owner as 2026 software pick

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:38 EST — Regular session Intuit Inc. shares rose 0.9% to $634.97 on Monday, recovering from an early dip, after Jefferies analyst Brent Thill singled out the TurboTax and QuickBooks owner as one of his preferred large-cap software names for 2026. Thill told investors to “stay underweight” software — meaning hold less than a benchmark allocation — while making exceptions for a short list that included Intuit, according to MarketWatch. MarketWatch The call matters now because Intuit is heading into its seasonally important consumer tax window, when TurboTax demand and pricing can swing sentiment quickly.

CoreWeave stock erases early pop after rare Davidson upgrade — what CRWV investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 12:40 PM EST — Regular session CoreWeave shares pared an early jump and were down 0.1% at $79.21 in midday trading on Monday after D.A. Davidson upgraded the AI-focused cloud company. The call matters because CoreWeave has become a high-beta proxy for how long the AI buildout can stay on a debt-funded footing. Traders have been quick to fade rallies when bullish demand signals collide with questions about capital intensity, or how much cash a company must spend just to keep growing. CoreWeave touched $84.44 earlier in the session before sliding back below $80, underscoring

Hut 8 Corp stock jumps 12% as bitcoin pushes higher — traders eye Friday jobs data

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:22 EST — Regular session Hut 8 Corp shares rose about 12% on Monday, extending a rally in crypto-linked stocks as bitcoin climbed. The Nasdaq-listed stock traded at $57.47 after earlier touching $58.08, up from Friday’s close. The move matters because miners often act like a leveraged bet on bitcoin: they earn revenue in bitcoin, while many costs such as power and equipment are relatively fixed in the short run. When bitcoin moves, cash-flow expectations can reprice fast, and the equities tend to swing harder. Investors are also watching U.S. economic signals that can ripple
