Plug Power stock slides after TD Cowen downgrade revives cash-burn fears

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 07:23 (EST) — Market closed Shares of Plug Power Inc dipped 5.6% on Friday, closing at $2.19, pressured by a TD Cowen downgrade that nudged the hydrogen fuel-cell company back toward the $2 mark. The stock fluctuated between $2.14 and $2.33 during the session, after ending Thursday at $2.32. Volume hit around 114 million shares, surpassing the company’s recent averages. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.81%, and rival Ballard Power Systems gained 1.1%. (MarketWatch) The timing is crucial as investors continue to shun smaller, cash-burning clean-energy firms that might require new funding, with rate cut

Applied Digital (APLD) stock jumps 18% on hyperscaler talks and fresh financing—what matters next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 07:00 EST — Market closed Applied Digital shares surged 18% on Friday, closing at $37.68 following news of the data-center builder’s new contract and financing update. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, the stock is set to resume trading on Monday. This shift is crucial as Wall Street zeroes in on AI infrastructure leaders, and long-term leases with major cloud clients often signal more reliable revenue streams. A “hyperscaler” refers to a massive cloud provider; in data centers, “MW” (megawatts) measures the power capacity ready for servers. Applied Digital reported in its fiscal Q2

Walmart stock lands in the Nasdaq-100 on Jan. 20 — what investors watch next

New York, January 10, 2026, 07:15 EST — The market has closed. Walmart Inc (WMT) is set to enter the Nasdaq-100 Index before trading opens on Jan. 20, replacing Britain’s AstraZeneca, Nasdaq announced late Friday. The stock ended the day up 1.3% at $114.53, having fluctuated between $112.06 and $115.46, staying within roughly 2% of its 52-week high.

Roku stock set for Monday watch after Evercore upgrade, Citizens target hike

Roku stock set for Monday watch after Evercore upgrade, Citizens target hike

New York, January 10, 2026, 07:00 EST — Market closed Roku, Inc shares rose 2.1% to close at $111.17 on Friday, bucking a quiet start to the year for many streaming names after Evercore ISI upgraded the stock and Citizens lifted its price target. The timing matters because Roku’s core business leans on advertising, and traders have been quick to chase any sign that connected-TV ad demand is firming again. The analyst notes lean into 2026 as a setup year — not just for Roku-specific product work, but for bigger events that typically loosen marketing budgets. With U.S. markets shut

KLA stock jumps back near record highs as chip rally builds — here’s the next test

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 06:24 EST — Market closed KLA Corp shares closed up 5.7% at $1,400 on Friday, leaving the chip equipment maker within sight of its early-week high. (MarketWatch) The bounce came as chip stocks surged broadly, pushing the PHLX semiconductor index — a widely watched gauge of chipmakers — up 2.7% to a record high, after a weaker U.S. jobs report kept expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts intact. “Investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers,” said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments. (Reuters) The next macro check comes fast.

Valens Semiconductor stock jumps 59% on heavy volume as share-sale filings surface

Valens Semiconductor stock jumps 59% on heavy volume as share-sale filings surface

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 06:05 EST — Market closed Valens Semiconductor Ltd. shares jumped about 59% on Friday, ending at $2.48 as turnover spiked to roughly 45 million shares. (Finviz) The move drew attention because it came late in the week with little fresh headline news from the company itself. Valens’ newsroom showed its most recent release dated Jan. 6. (Valens Semiconductor) In that Jan. 6 statement, Valens said it landed a fourth design win for its VA7000 chipset using MIPI A-PHY, an automotive connectivity standard for high-speed links between sensors and compute units. “We’re thrilled to ring in

AMC stock pops 13% on a volume spike as options heat up and a Feb. 2 stock-sale window nears

New York, January 10, 2026, 05:30 ET — Market closed AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc’s shares surged 13.1% to $1.64 on Friday, beating other movie-theater stocks amid heavy volume. About 71.6 million shares changed hands, nearly triple the 50-day average of 22.5 million. Still, AMC remains about 60% below its 52-week high of $4.08. (MarketWatch) Why it matters now: AMC is stuck close to its 12-month low, trading well beneath major moving averages that momentum investors track. According to MarketBeat data, the stock sits under its 50-day moving average of $2.07 and its 200-day average of $2.64. Notably, Friday’s session saw

Applied Materials stock jumps to $301 as Wall Street lifts targets — what matters before Monday

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:30 EST — The market has closed. Applied Materials (AMAT.O) jumped 6.9% on Friday, closing at $301.18 following a new wave of bullish price-target upgrades from Wall Street analysts. The chip-equipment maker’s shares hit a high of $302.70 and dipped to a low of $280 during the session. The notes come at a sensitive time for the group: investors are wrestling with whether chipmakers will maintain heavy spending into 2026 after last year’s surge in anything connected to data centers. Applied, which sells equipment for chip manufacturing, often sees its order trends lead the broader

Intel stock surges 11% after Trump meeting — what investors watch before earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 05:30 EST — Market closed Intel (INTC.O) shares surged nearly 11% on Friday, closing at $45.55 after U.S. President Donald Trump said he had a “great meeting” with Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan. Trading was heavy, with about 187 million shares changing hands. (Reuters) The move capped a sharp week for Intel, with the stock up about 15.7% and at its highest close since March 2024, as traders latched onto CES chip headlines and fresh political attention. Some analysts, though, questioned how much of the push was institutional money versus retail momentum. (MarketWatch) That matters now

Visa stock slips toward $350 as proxy-season filings hit ahead of annual meeting

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 05:05 EST — Market closed Visa Inc shares closed down 0.7% on Friday at $349.77, leaving the stock about 7% below its 52-week high, after a shareholder filing pushed a fresh proposal into focus ahead of the company’s annual meeting. (Visa Investor Relations) The filing matters because it lands in the narrow window when big funds start sizing up proxy ballots and headline risk can whipsaw a steady, “defensive growth” name like Visa. It also comes after two straight down sessions for the stock, at a time when investors have been quick to fade anything

Oklo stock jumps on Meta nuclear campus deal — what investors watch before Monday

New York, January 10, 2026, 04:59 EST — Market closed Oklo Inc shares jumped 7.9% on Friday, wrapping up at $105.31. The surge came after Meta Platforms threw its support behind a 1.2-gigawatt nuclear power campus in Ohio, linked to its expanding data-center operations. Big Tech is rushing to lock in reliable power as data centers and AI drive up electricity demand, shifting companies toward long-term supply deals that resemble infrastructure financing rather than straightforward power purchases. Meta has signed 20-year contracts to buy nuclear energy from Vistra plants and said its total agreements might deliver up to 6.6 gigawatts

London, January 10, 2026, 09:29 GMT — Market closed Shares of Legal & General Group Plc (LGEN.L) last closed up 0.7% at 266.9 pence on Friday, after trading between 263.3p and 267.7p on the day. The move came as the FTSE 100 marked a record close of 10,126.6 points, up 0.8%, with traders still pricing in about 54 basis points of rate cuts in 2026 after a softer U.S. jobs report. (Investing.com) That matters now because insurers with big retirement and savings books tend to track shifts in interest-rate expectations.
