NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:20 ET — Market closed Bloom Energy Corp shares surged on the first trading day of 2026, closing Friday up 13.58% at $98.69.

Investing The rally matters because Bloom has become a high-beta proxy for the “data center power” trade, where investors have rewarded companies promising fast, on-site electricity supply as grid upgrades lag demand.

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:17 ET — Market closed Applied Optoelectronics’ shares jumped 13.6% in the last regular session on Friday, closing at $39.60. The stock traded between $35.82 and $40.06 during the session.

Energy Fuels stock today: UUUU jumps 15% as uranium miners rally into 2026 — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:00 ET — Market closed Energy Fuels Inc (UUUU) shares jumped 14.9% on Friday to close at $16.68, with about 14.9 million shares traded. U.S. markets were closed on Sunday.

It also shows how quickly positioning can shift at the start of a new year in thinly covered miners, where flows can amplify price swings. Energy Fuels, based near Denver, produces uranium and is developing

Apple stock today: AAPL slips on Raymond James caution as Wall Street weighs rates and earnings

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:20 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares slipped about 0.3% to $271.01 on Friday after Raymond James restarted coverage with a neutral view on valuation. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday, leaving Apple last seen trading between $269.12 and $277.69 on roughly 37.8 million shares.

Rigetti stock jumps 6% as director files plan to sell shares — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:16 ET — Market closed Rigetti Computing shares jumped about 6.6% in the most recent session, ending at $23.60 on Friday with heavy trading volume, even as a company director filed paperwork signaling an intent to sell stock. The timing matters because quantum-computing names have become a high-volatility corner of the market, with sharp moves often driven by sentiment and risk appetite rather than near-term fundamentals. The filing is a Form 144, a notice insiders use to disclose a planned sale under SEC Rule 144. It flags an intent to sell but does not guarantee

Opendoor stock bounces above $6 to start 2026 as rates and jobs data take center stage

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:15 ET — Market closed. Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN.O) shares ended Friday up about 4% at $6.07, after trading between $5.86 and $6.15 on roughly 38.4 million shares. The move matters because Opendoor sits at the intersection of housing demand and interest rates. When borrowing costs rise, affordability falls and homes can take longer to sell, which pressures companies that buy and resell homes for profit. U.S. stocks finished mixed on Friday and Treasury yields moved higher, a backdrop that can quickly change the tone for rate-sensitive names. “Today is kind of a holiday trading
