Newmont (NEM) stock price today: Gold miner rises as bullion kicks off 2026 strong

Newmont (NEM) stock price today: Gold miner rises as bullion kicks off 2026 strong

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:45 ET — Regular session Newmont Corporation shares rose on Friday, tracking firmer gold prices as the precious metal began 2026 on a strong footing. The stock was up 0.9% at $100.71 in afternoon New York trading. The move matters because Newmont’s results are closely tied to gold: when bullion prices rise, miners’ revenue can move quickly while many operating costs change more slowly. That dynamic can amplify gains — and losses — in mining stocks versus the metal itself. Gold’s direction is back in focus after a blockbuster 2025 and a volatile year-end stretch

DoorDash stock drops as California refund law kicks in — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 3:33 PM ET — Regular session DoorDash (DASH.O) shares were down 2.3% at $221.17 in afternoon trading on Friday, after swinging between $221.15 and $229.65. The stock’s decline came as a new set of California laws took effect on Jan. 1, including AB 578, which strengthens consumer and worker protections for food delivery platforms.

Intuitive Surgical stock falls today: what’s driving ISRG and what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 3:30 PM ET — Regular session Intuitive Surgical shares slid 1% to $560.61 in afternoon trading on Friday, lagging a mixed U.S. tape in the market’s first session of 2026. The drop matters because investors are starting the year with fresh sensitivity to valuation—how much they are paying for a dollar of earnings—after a strong 2025 run left many stocks priced for good news.

Booking Holdings stock falls today as Wall Street wobbles to start 2026 — what’s driving BKNG

New York, Jan 2, 2026, 14:57 ET — Regular session Booking Holdings shares were lower on Friday as U.S. equities gave back early gains in the first regular session of 2026. The stock was down about 0.9% at $5,306.83 in afternoon trading. The move matters now because investors are resetting positions after a strong 2025, with valuations and interest-rate expectations back in focus.

Nebius stock jumps about 7% as chips rally in first U.S. session of 2026 (NBIS)

Nebius stock jumps about 7% as chips rally in first U.S. session of 2026 (NBIS)

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:09 ET — Regular session Shares of Nebius Group N.V. were up 7.4% at $89.91 on Friday afternoon, extending a rebound in AI infrastructure-linked stocks as chip names led the market. The move matters because Nebius is widely seen as a high-beta proxy for demand for graphics processing units, or GPUs — chips used to train and run artificial intelligence models. When investors lean into AI hardware, smaller infrastructure suppliers often swing harder.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 15:04 ET — Regular session Palo Alto Networks, Inc. shares fell about 2.9% to $178.87 in afternoon trading on Friday. The stock opened at $184.81 and swung between $186.99 and $177.23; about 4.1 million shares had traded.
