Intuit stock sinks nearly 5% after insider sale filings hit tape; what’s next for INTU

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 11:26 ET — Market closed Intuit Inc. shares fell 5% in the first session of 2026, ending Friday at $629.46. The stock traded as low as $622.31 and as high as $665.02, with volume of about 2.7 million shares. The drop mattered because it landed just as investors reset positioning for the new year and ahead of the U.S. tax season, when Intuit’s TurboTax business typically becomes a major focus for traders. The move also stood out on a day when major U.S. indexes were little changed. Reuters The selling pressure coincided with a flurry

Caterpillar stock jumps toward $600 as 2026 trading starts; Wolfe lifts CAT target

New York, Jan 3, 2026, 11:27 ET — Market closed Caterpillar Inc. shares last closed up $25.42, or 4.4%, at $598.41, outperforming most large industrial names on the first trading day of 2026. The move matters because Caterpillar is a high-priced component of the Dow, a price-weighted index where bigger-dollar stocks can sway the benchmark more than lower-priced names. Reuters said Caterpillar and Boeing were among the Dow’s biggest boosts on Friday. Reuters Caterpillar’s jump came as investors rotated back into cyclical and industrial shares while chipmakers rallied, helping Wall Street snap a four-session losing streak. Traders are also recalibrating

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 11:11 ET — Market closed Carvana Co (CVNA) shares closed down 5.2% at $400.25 on Friday, after trading between $390.87 and $426.90 in the first session of 2026.

GE Vernova stock (GEV) rises nearly 4% to kick off 2026 — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 11:15 ET — Market closed GE Vernova (GEV.N) shares closed up about 3.8% on Friday at $679.55, extending a year-end rally as U.S. markets head into the weekend. U.S. markets are closed on Saturday. The move matters because the first full week of 2026 brings rate-sensitive catalysts that can swing “AI infrastructure” trades — companies tied to the buildout of power and data-center capacity. The U.S. employment report due Jan. 9 and consumer price index data due Jan. 13 sit at the center of that calendar. Reuters Broader markets offered a tailwind on Friday, with

Applied Materials stock jumps 4.6% to start 2026 — here’s what could move AMAT next week

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 11:00 ET — Market closed Applied Materials, Inc. (AMAT) shares rose 4.6% on Friday to close at $268.87, after trading between $260.00 and $271.21. The move matters because Applied sells the tools used to build semiconductor wafers — the thin silicon discs chips are made on — making its stock a read-through on factory spending. Chip-equipment names can amplify shifts in sentiment because orders tend to track multi-quarter budget cycles. That sensitivity is in focus at the start of the year as investors reassess how much to pay for tech and “AI trade” exposure. Rate

Trading volume rose to about 3.9 million shares, above its 50-day average, while rival Visa fell 1.21%, MarketWatch data showed.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:42 ET — Market closed CoreWeave, Inc. shares climbed in the last session after the Nvidia-backed AI cloud provider disclosed changes to a major credit agreement that lowered near-term liquidity requirements and pushed back some covenant tests, a filing showed. The stock ended Friday at $79.32, up $7.70, or 10.8%, after trading between $72.95 and $81.11.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 10:35 ET — Market closed Salesforce, Inc. shares closed down 4.26% on Friday at $253.62, their first regular-session finish of 2026, after trading between $252.48 and $265.38. The stock is about 31% below its 52-week high of $367.09. Investing The move matters now because Salesforce is a bellwether for enterprise software demand, and investors are starting the year debating how quickly corporate buyers will translate “AI” features into incremental spending. Salesforce has been treated as an AI-linked large-cap software name, leaving it sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and valuations. U.S. stocks started 2026 on

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:40 ET — Market closed CleanSpark shares surged 14.0% to close at $11.55 on Friday. The stock traded between $10.20 and $11.61 and changed hands in about 22.2 million shares. The bitcoin miner’s shares often swing harder than bitcoin itself because its revenue is tied to the token’s price while many operating costs, such as power and equipment, don’t move as quickly. That leverage matters at the start of the year, when portfolio rebalancing and shifts in risk appetite can amplify moves in crypto-linked stocks. Markets are also looking ahead to a heavy run of
