GameStop dangles a $35 billion Ryan Cohen payday — but only if GME hits $100 billion

GRAPEVINE, Texas, January 7, 2026, 09:30 CST GameStop on Wednesday granted CEO Ryan Cohen a performance-based stock option award that could be worth roughly $35 billion if he can lift the videogame retailer’s market value to $100 billion and meet profit targets, Reuters calculated. The package offers no guaranteed salary or cash bonus, the company said. Reuters The unusually steep targets land as GameStop tries to prove it can outgrow a business built around physical stores while players shift to online buying. GameStop’s annual revenue has fallen more than 35% since 2022 and the stock is down about 80% from

New York, January 7, 2026, 10:39 EST — Regular session Rocket Lab shares slid 2.6% to $83.80 in mid-morning trade on Wednesday, a day after the space and defense contractor’s stock logged a sharp jump. The pullback came as recent regulatory filings showed two top executives sold a combined roughly $110 million of shares under preset trading plans. Google+1 The sales matter because Rocket Lab’s rally has turned the stock into a crowded trade, with investors leaning on big government work and a pipeline of new hardware to justify a steep valuation. When insiders sell into that kind of tape

Vale (VALE) stock wobbles after Tuesday surge as iron ore firms; Feb. 12 results loom

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 09:55 EST — Regular session Vale’s U.S.-listed shares were down about 0.8% at $14.05 in early trade on Wednesday, underperforming the broader market’s early grind but holding up better than some mining peers. Rio Tinto fell about 1.5% and BHP Group slid roughly 1.8%. The tape matters because Vale is still, for many traders, a straight read-through on iron ore and China demand. The market has been hunting for anything concrete after a sharp run in the stock, with prices and shipment data doing most of the talking. Iron ore futures in China hit their

Plug Power stock edges higher premarket after Walmart scraps warrant and dilution overhang

Plug Power stock edges higher premarket after Walmart scraps warrant and dilution overhang

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 08:35 EST — Premarket Plug Power (PLUG) shares rose about 1% in premarket trade on Wednesday after the hydrogen fuel-cell and electrolyzer maker said it struck a new agreement with Walmart that scraps Walmart’s long-running stock warrant. The shares were up 1.1% at $2.39. SEC The warrant has sat over the stock for years because it represented possible dilution — when a warrant is exercised, it creates new shares and can shrink existing holders’ stakes. Pulling that overhang matters for Plug at a moment when investors are laser-focused on share count, cash needs and anything

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 08:36 ET — Premarket BigBear.ai Holdings shares fell 3.6% in premarket trading on Wednesday after a Cantor Fitzgerald downgrade cooled momentum in the small-cap defense AI name.
