New York, January 9, 2026, 15:14 ET — Regular session Palo Alto Networks shares slipped on Friday, underperforming a broader tech-led rise, after a late-day regulatory filing flagged a planned insider sale.

Vertiv stock rebounds after Thursday slide as jobs data steadies rate-cut bets

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:12 EST — Regular session Shares of Vertiv Holdings Co rose 1.5% to $163.24 in afternoon trading on Friday, clawing back some ground after a sharp drop in the prior session. The data center power-and-cooling supplier fell 6.3% on Thursday, a swing that left the stock nursing losses after a tech-led pullback in U.S. equities ahead of the monthly jobs report. (Investing.com) That matters now because Vertiv trades like a rate-sensitive growth name: when investors lean toward interest-rate cuts, high-multiple infrastructure suppliers tend to catch a bid. Broader U.S. indexes were higher on Friday after

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:40 (EST) — Regular session AST SpaceMobile shares rose 8.6% to $98.34 in Friday afternoon trading after Bank of America raised its price target on the space-based broadband company to $100 from $85 and kept a Neutral rating.

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:31 EST — Regular session Dell Technologies shares were up 1.2% at $119.93 on Friday afternoon, after earlier touching $120 in the session.
