NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 10:14 ET — Market closed NexGen Energy Ltd’s U.S.-listed shares (NXE) ended Friday up 11.4% at $10.25, after trading as high as $10.37. In Toronto, the stock closed at C$14.08, up 11.48%. Yahoo Finance The rally matters now because it comes at the start of 2026, when positioning shifts tend to amplify moves in smaller resource names.

Hut 8 stock jumps 12% to start 2026 as Coinbase boosts bitcoin-backed credit line — what to watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:11 ET — Market closed Hut 8 Corp shares ended the first trading day of 2026 up 11.6% on Friday, a sharp move that put the bitcoin miner and data-center operator back on momentum screens heading into Monday’s open. The stock closed at $51.27. The move matters now because crypto-linked equities have been trading as high-beta proxies for bitcoin and for investors’ broader appetite for risk, and because miners have been leaning on financing to fund expansion without issuing new stock.

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 10:15 ET — Market closed Oracle Corp (ORCL.N) shares finished Friday up 0.41% at $195.71, leaving the stock near $196 heading into Monday’s reopening. Nasdaq The next near-term trigger for the stock is the dividend timeline, with traders often positioning around the “ex-dividend” date — the first session when new buyers no longer qualify for the payout. Dividend That matters now because Oracle has been trading with a sharper risk premium than many large-cap software peers since its December results, as investors weigh whether heavy spending on cloud capacity will translate into durable cash flow.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:11 ET — Market closed AppLovin shares ended Friday’s session down 8.2% at $618.32, leaving the mobile advertising company heading into Monday under pressure after a bruising start to 2026. Investing The slide matters now because AppLovin was one of last year’s standout winners, and the new-year reset is testing how much conviction remains after a rapid run-up. The drop also pulled the stock below its 50-day moving average, the average closing price over the past 50 sessions that many traders use to judge short- to mid-term momentum.
