ZoomInfo stock slides 5.5% — key levels and the next dates investors are watching

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:41 ET — Market closed ZoomInfo Technologies Inc (GTM.O) shares closed down 5.5% on Friday at $9.61, setting the software and data company up for a cautious start to the new week when U.S. markets reopen on Monday. The selloff pushed the stock below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages — common charting gauges that smooth daily price swings — at about $10.23 and $10.45, MarketBeat data showed. The same dataset put ZoomInfo’s consensus analyst rating at “Hold” with an average price target of roughly $11.79, leaving shares about 18% below that level after Friday’s

Barclays upgrades Vertiv and this data center stock jumps 8% — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:25 ET — Market closed Vertiv Holdings (VRT.N), a supplier of power and cooling equipment used in data centers, closed Friday up 8.4% after Barclays upgraded the stock to overweight, meaning it expects the shares to outperform. “The recent volatility in the stock has created an attractive entry point,” Barclays analyst Julian Mitchell wrote. Barron’s The call matters now because investors are re-pricing “picks-and-shovels” beneficiaries of data-center buildouts heading into 2026, after a choppy finish to the year for high-multiple industrial tech suppliers.

Palantir (PLTR) stock slides 5.6% as insider sale notice surfaces — what to watch next week

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:28 ET — Market closed Palantir Technologies Inc shares closed down about 5.6% on Friday at $167.86, their first session of 2026, after swinging from an early high near $183 to a low around $166. Why this matters now: the selloff leaves Palantir starting the week under a spotlight as investors return from the holidays and reassess risk in high-growth software names alongside a heavy macro calendar. “The market is looking for direction,” said Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, as traders eye whether stocks break out of recent ranges.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:22 ET — Market closed Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. shares fell 5.5% on Friday, ending at $68.84 and lagging a largely flat Nasdaq on the first trading day of 2026. Yahoo Finance The move comes as investors sharpen their focus on U.S. growth drivers for the medical device maker, particularly a bid to widen the approved use of its Motiva silicone implants beyond cosmetic breast augmentation and into breast reconstruction.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Pegasystems Inc shares closed down 6.1% on Friday, ending the first trading day of 2026 at $56.06. Yahoo Finance The drop matters heading into Monday because it put PEGA back on traders’ screens just as investors reprice rate-sensitive software names. Markets also face a heavy early-January U.S. data calendar that can move Treasury yields, a key input for growth-stock valuations. Reuters A late U.S. filing adds a fresh overhang. A Form 144 notice accepted on Friday showed Pegasystems officer Kenneth Stillwell filed to sell up to 4,000 shares, with an

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:15 ET — Market closed Bank of America Corp shares rose 1.7% on Friday to close at $55.95, marking a firmer start to 2026 for the U.S. lender’s stock. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday. The move matters because Wall Street is heading into big-bank earnings season with interest-rate expectations still driving day-to-day swings in financial stocks. Bank of America is scheduled to report fourth-quarter results on Wednesday, Jan. 14. Bank of America Rate bets matter for banks because they influence net interest income — the spread between what lenders earn on loans and securities

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:20 ET — Market closed Kymera Therapeutics, Inc.

CrowdStrike stock drops 3% to start 2026 — here’s what Wall Street watches next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:04 ET — Market closed CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. shares ended Friday down 3.2%, closing at $453.58 as the cybersecurity group lagged in the first U.S. session of 2026. The pullback matters because high-growth software stocks tend to move with interest-rate expectations, and the market is heading into a data-heavy week that can reset views on the economy and Federal Reserve policy. It also comes as investors rebalance early in the year, when flows can amplify moves in crowded trades — a dynamic that can hit richly valued cybersecurity names even without company-specific headlines. CrowdStrike traded

Walmart stock today: WMT closes higher as traders eye jobs data and Walmart’s next update

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:51 ET — Market closed Walmart Inc. shares ended Friday up $1.34, or 1.2%, at $112.76, heading into the first full trading week of 2026 with a modest gain on the board. For investors, the retailer is a quick read on the U.S. consumer because it sits at the center of grocery spending and everyday purchases, where small shifts in demand can show up fast. That matters this week because markets are bracing for a dense run of economic reports after a 43-day U.S. government shutdown disrupted the release schedule. U.S. employment data is due

Intuit stock slides nearly 5% into weekend after insider filing — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 11:37 ET — Market closed Intuit Inc (INTU) shares closed down about 5% on Friday at $629.46, a sharp underperformance as U.S. markets headed into the weekend. The stock opened at $660.58 and traded as low as $622.31 before recovering part of the loss. The move matters now because Intuit is entering its seasonally important stretch tied to U.S. tax filing activity, when attention typically turns to demand for its TurboTax products and related services. A big one-day drop can also force investors to reassess positioning early in the year, especially in widely held software

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:24 ET — Market closed GE Vernova shares ended the first trading day of 2026 up nearly 4%, a sharp rebound that outpaced the broader market and put the power-equipment maker back in focus ahead of a heavy early-January data calendar. Yahoo Finance The move matters now because investors started the year rotating into companies seen as beneficiaries of the energy buildout needed to support fast-growing data-center demand, after a choppy end to 2025.
