SoFi stock in focus today: share-sale overhang and Wall Street calls set up the next trade

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:54 (EST) — Premarket SoFi Technologies, Inc. (SOFI) shares were little changed in U.S. premarket trading on Wednesday after a regulatory filing confirmed banks running its recent stock sale bought additional shares, keeping dilution worries in focus. The disclosure matters because SoFi is heading into a key earnings update later this month, when management will need to show how fresh capital supports growth without eroding returns. New stock issuance can weigh on a share price because it increases the number of shares outstanding, reducing each existing investor’s slice. A Form 8-K filing said underwriters exercised

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:35 (EST) U.S. stock index futures were little changed on Wednesday after a chip-led rally drove the Dow and S&P 500 to record closes in the prior session, as investors paused ahead of key U.S. labor-market data.

Gold, silver stocks jump in U.S. premarket; GLD, SLV and miners in play ahead of jobs data

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:33 EST — Premarket Gold and silver stocks were higher in U.S. premarket trading on Wednesday, led by silver miners, as investors stuck with the sector after bullion’s sharp start to the year. Newmont was up about 5.5%, while Hecla Mining and First Majestic rose roughly 12.8% and 9.9%, respectively. The move matters because miners and precious-metals ETFs have turned into a fast macro trade again: a mix of geopolitics, rate bets and a crowded positioning story. Mining shares tend to exaggerate swings in metal prices, and the ETF wrappers make it easy to move
