New York, January 9, 2026, 13:40 EST — Regular session Eaton (ETN.N) shares rose 3.25 points, or about 1.0%, to $323.83 in afternoon trading on Friday, recovering some ground after recent losses.

Small shifts in the tone around demand can move the group. Eaton fell 3.1% on Wednesday and remains about 19% below its 52-week high of $399.56 hit on July 28, a pullback that has left traders quicker

New York, January 9, 2026, 12:49 (ET) — Regular session Citigroup shares were up 0.8% at $121.53 on Friday, with investors leaning into the start of U.S. bank earnings season next week and a key inflation report that could shift rate bets.

IREN stock jumps in midday trade as rate-cut bets keep high-beta names in play

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:45 EST — Regular session IREN Limited shares rose about 7% to $48.90 on Friday, extending a choppy week for the Nasdaq-listed stock as traders leaned back into higher-risk names.

Ondas (ONDS) stock rises after $1 billion above-market financing — here’s what traders are parsing

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:23 EST — Regular session Ondas Holdings Inc. shares rose about 3% on Friday, trading at $14.44, after the company said it priced a $1 billion registered direct offering of stock and warrants. The financing is a big swing for a company that has traded with sharp moves and thin conviction at times. It brings in fresh capital quickly, but it also puts the share count — and the overhang from warrants — front and center again. Investors tend to like cash coming in above the last close. They also worry about what comes with

Credo stock jumps as Needham names CRDO a 2026 Top Pick; insider sale plans surface

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:32 EST — Regular session Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd shares climbed on Friday after Needham named the data-center connectivity chipmaker a 2026 “Top Pick,” extending a volatile week for the stock.

Why Mirion Technologies stock is jumping today as Meta’s nuclear deals jolt the sector

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:02 EST — Regular session Mirion Technologies (NYSE:MIR) shares rose on Friday, moving with a wider run-up in nuclear-related names after Meta Platforms announced long-term nuclear power agreements linked to its data center buildout.

Mirion sells radiation safety and measurement tools used across nuclear energy and other end markets, the company says. (Mirion Technologies, Inc.) Meta said it struck 20-year power purchase agreements — long-term contracts to buy
