NEW YORK, Jan 18, 2026, 05:37 EST — Market closed. Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN.O) shares jumped 5.7% to close at $6.67 on Friday following an investment from SRx Health Solutions in the online homebuying company’s stock.

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 05:39 (EST) — Market closed Shares of Super Micro Computer (SMCI) jumped roughly 11% on Friday, ending the day at $32.64.

Holiday pauses often thin out trading, causing volatile stocks to swing more sharply than the news behind them. (TheStreet) Investors are considering a shareholder proposal to double BigBear.ai’s authorized common stock from 500 million

Legal & General share price watch: LGEN heads into Monday with UK inflation, gilts and March results in focus

London, January 18, 2026, 09:43 GMT — Market closed Legal & General Group Plc (LGEN.L) shares slipped 0.11% to 265.8 pence Friday, showing little momentum as the week wrapped up. Roughly 35.8 million shares traded hands. The stock’s dividend yield hovered around 8% at that close, according to Hargreaves Lansdown. (Hargreaves Lansdown) This is crucial since life insurers are tightly linked to long-term interest rates. Legal & General puts premiums into bonds and offers products like annuities that guarantee returns over many years, so even small moves in gilt yields can swiftly alter market sentiment on their earnings and capital.

(MarketWatch) This is crucial heading into the new week since the stock has been creeping up on consistent capital-return signals. Investors have under six weeks to wait before the lender’s full-year results drop. The upcoming move will depend on if those numbers back up the rally.
