Nebius stock (NBIS) whipsaws after U.S. jobs report — what investors watch next

Nebius stock (NBIS) whipsaws after U.S. jobs report — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:32 EST — After-hours Nebius Group N.V. shares were last up about 0.6% at $97.93 in after-hours trading on Friday, after swinging as high as $104.94 and as low as $97.25 during the session. The late-day churn matters because Nebius sits in a corner of the market where sentiment can turn fast: high-growth, capital-hungry AI infrastructure. With the U.S. rate outlook still in flux, traders have been quick to press momentum and just as quick to take profits when the tape wobbles. Wall Street ended at record highs after data showed U.S. job growth came

Thermo Fisher (TMO) stock jumps as Stifel lifts target to $700; earnings next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:08 EST — After-hours Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (TMO.N) shares climbed roughly 2% on Friday following a price target boost from Stifel, which called for a “solid year” ahead as biopharma demand picked up. The stock ended the day up $12.45, closing at $618.86. (GuruFocus) The timing is crucial. Investors are gearing up for Thermo Fisher’s Q4 and full-year earnings, set for Jan. 29, when the company is likely to update its 2026 guidance.

Opendoor stock jumps 13% as Trump orders $200B mortgage bond buys — what investors watch next

New York, January 9, 2026, 19:01 EST — After-hours Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN.O) shares rose 13.2% to $7.29 on Friday after hitting an intraday high of $7.91. The stock traded about 167 million shares. The move followed President Donald Trump’s order for $200 billion of mortgage bond purchases; Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte said Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would execute the buys. TD Cowen wrote the buying could narrow the gap between the 30-year mortgage rate and the 10-year Treasury yield, while Jefferies pegged the rate needed to bring buyers back in the mid- to high-5% range

Chevron stock rises after-hours as Venezuela talks keep CVX in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 18:27 (ET) — After-hours Chevron (CVX) shares rose about 1.8% on Friday and last traded at $162.11 in after-hours dealings. The stock ranged from $159.48 to $162.69 during the session. The move comes as investors weigh a possible shift in U.S. policy toward Venezuela that could directly affect Chevron, which is the only U.S. oil major still operating there under a sanctions carve-out. Reuters reported on Wednesday that Chevron is in talks with the U.S. government to expand the license, potentially allowing it to increase crude exports to its own refineries and sell barrels to

S&P 500 hits record, chip stocks jump — jobs report and Trump tariff case set up next market move

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 18:38 EST The S&P 500 closed at a record on Friday as Broadcom and other chip stocks kept Wall Street climbing after a softer-than-expected U.S. jobs report. The index rose 0.65% to 6,966.28, while the Nasdaq gained 0.82% to 23,671.35 and the Dow added 0.48% to 49,504.07; the PHLX semiconductor index, which tracks major chipmakers, jumped 2.7% to a record. “On the overall AI theme, investors are getting granular,” said Zachary Hill at Horizon Investments, as Lam Research surged after Mizuho lifted its price target and Vistra rallied on a power deal with Meta.

Ondas (ONDS) stock slips after hours after $1B share-and-warrant deal — what to know next week

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 6:31 PM EST — After-hours Ondas Holdings Inc. shares dropped 2.3% to $13.69 in after-hours trading Friday, following a range between $13.61 and $15.09 on roughly 114 million shares changing hands. The company is under pressure as it aims to secure a new cash buffer. Ondas’ offering is designed to rapidly overhaul its balance sheet, but it also brings up the immediate question traders always want answered: how much dilution is baked into the next rally. A prospectus supplement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reveals Ondas plans to sell 19 million shares

IREN stock steadies after-hours after Bernstein reiterates “top AI pick” view

IREN stock steadies after-hours after Bernstein reiterates “top AI pick” view

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:55 EST — After-hours IREN Ltd shares edged higher in after-hours trading on Friday after a Bernstein analyst again flagged the company as a preferred way to play the overlap between bitcoin mining and AI data centers. The stock was up 0.7% at $46.03. The call matters because the trade in crypto-linked miners has been brittle, and anything that shifts expectations for bitcoin or data-center demand tends to hit the group fast. IREN has increasingly been valued by some investors less like a pure miner and more like a power-and-compute developer. That mix can cut

Applied Materials stock pops nearly 7% as chip rally returns — analysts lift targets

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 17:51 EST — After-hours Applied Materials shares surged almost 7% on Friday, closing at $301.18, and held a 6.9% gain in after-hours trading as semiconductor equipment stocks picked up steam heading into the weekend. Chip shares rallied broadly, fueled by a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that kept hopes alive for Federal Reserve rate cuts. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (.SOX) surged 2.7% to a fresh record, while Lam Research jumped 8.7% after Mizuho boosted its price target on the equipment maker. “Investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers,” said Zachary Hill, head of

Rocket Lab stock rebounds, holds after-hours bid as RKLB traders weigh insider sales and earnings clock

Rocket Lab stock rebounds, holds after-hours bid as RKLB traders weigh insider sales and earnings clock

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 17:36 EST — After-hours Rocket Lab Corp shares closed up 2.1% on Friday and were modestly higher in after-hours trading, as the space launch and satellite builder steadied after a choppy run. The stock ended the session at $84.85 and was around $85.12 in extended trade. (MarketBeat) The move matters because Rocket Lab’s rally has pulled more short-term money into the name, and the tape has started reacting to filings and calendar risk rather than new contracts. Rocket Lab stock is up about 200% over the past 12 months, Barron’s reported this week, putting execution

Robinhood (HOOD) stock in focus after Argus starts coverage with a $145 target; Barclays trims view

Robinhood (HOOD) stock in focus after Argus starts coverage with a $145 target; Barclays trims view

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:47 EST — After-hours Robinhood Markets (HOOD.O) shares dipped 0.1% in after-hours trading on Friday, even as Argus Research initiated coverage with a buy rating and a $145 price target. The stock was last at $115.27. (Moomoo News) The fresh rating lands as investors look for signs that retail trading demand is holding up into year-end and that newer products are adding steadier revenue. Robinhood has been pushing beyond core stock trading, which can swing sharply with market volatility. A day earlier, Barclays cut its price target on Robinhood to $159 from $171 and kept

Walmart stock pops after AI board pick — what investors watch next

Walmart stock pops after AI board pick — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 17:31 EST — After-hours Walmart Inc shares rose 1.3% on Friday and were last up at $114.53 in late after-hours trading, after the retailer announced a new board appointment that underscored its push to put more technology at the center of the business. The move matters now because investors are leaning hard into the “Walmart as a tech company” pitch — e-commerce, advertising and automation — even as a slower economy puts more pressure on low-price retailers. A board seat is not an operating change, but it signals what the company wants more of. The

AppLovin stock jumps 5% as Wells Fargo lifts target to $735

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:33 EST — After-hours AppLovin Corp shares rose about 5% on Friday to close at $647.72, after swinging between $612.65 and $649.51. The stock was little changed in after-hours trading, with traders marking the day’s low as near-term support and the $650 area as the next resistance. The move matters now because the stock has become a pressure point into the next earnings update, with investors looking for any read on ad budgets early in 2026. AppLovin has also been one of the market’s more volatile ad-tech names, so even routine analyst tweaks can get

Amazon stock slides as $200B AI spending plan meets cautious profit outlook

7 February 2026
Amazon shares fell 9% Friday after the company announced plans for $200 billion in 2026 capital spending, mainly for AWS and AI, and issued a first-quarter profit outlook below estimates. The stock drop could erase $200 billion in market value. Fourth-quarter net sales rose 14% to $213.4 billion, while free cash flow declined due to higher spending on AI infrastructure.
