ImmunityBio stock set for volatile week after ANKTIVA sales jump and new trial update

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 08:04 ET — Market closed. ImmunityBio shares jumped on Friday and look set to remain in the spotlight when U.S. markets open again. The company revealed a steep rise in preliminary sales for its bladder cancer immunotherapy ANKTIVA, alongside a quicker-than-anticipated pace in trial enrollments. (Nasdaq) Why this matters now: these updates offer traders new clues on whether ImmunityBio can make ANKTIVA’s launch a steady revenue source, rather than a one-off quarter surge. The company forecasted preliminary net product revenue for 2025 at around $113 million, signaling a roughly 700% jump from last year. For

Ford stock price set for spotlight after BYD battery talks report as markets reopen Tuesday

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 07:02 ET — Market closed. Ford Motor shares slipped 1.5% on Friday and may remain under scrutiny next week following reports that the automaker is negotiating with China’s BYD over batteries for hybrid vehicles. The talks sparked backlash from White House trade adviser Peter Navarro. (Reuters) The report is crucial now as Ford shifts focus toward hybrids—cars combining a gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery—while dialing back its expensive bet on fully electric vehicles. Batteries remain the main choke point and expense. It hits a sensitive nerve for investors: forging stronger links with

ServiceNow stock drops again — what to watch after Friday’s slide and ahead of Jan. 28 earnings

New York, January 17, 2026, 06:05 EST — The market has closed. Shares of ServiceNow Inc dropped 2.94% on Friday, closing at $127.31 and extending their losing streak to four sessions. The enterprise software maker’s stock underperformed Salesforce, whereas Oracle and Synopsys saw gains. Trading volume surged well above its recent average. (MarketWatch) The decline is significant given that the next U.S. cash session won’t open until Tuesday, as markets shut Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. That break leaves investors holding onto a softening large-cap software sector right as the calendar tightens later this month. (Investopedia) ServiceNow is

Spotify stock heads into long weekend: SPOT slides after $12.99 price hike and analyst target cut

Spotify stock heads into long weekend: SPOT slides after $12.99 price hike and analyst target cut

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 05:34 EST — Market closed. Shares of Spotify Technology S.A. dipped 0.7% on Friday, ending at $504.50. This capped a two-day decline following a 3.95% drop the previous session. (StockAnalysis) The pullback is significant now as Spotify turns back to pricing—the quickest tool in its arsenal—just when investors are intensifying pressure on margin gains and the ad segment. If the price increase holds steady without a surge in cancellations, it will directly boost revenue. The trade ahead of SPOT next week boils down to pricing power versus churn risk. In industry terms, churn refers to

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 04:58 EST — Market closed. Constellation Energy shares tumbled 9.8% to close at $307.71 on Friday, marking their steepest single-day decline in months. The selloff hit U.S. power producers tied to PJM following a late-week policy move targeting electricity price controls. Vistra dropped 7.4%, while NRG Energy slipped 4.1%. The move comes at a tricky time for a trade behind much of the sector’s rally: betting on data centers tightening supply and pushing up wholesale prices for years. Now, a sudden pivot to caps and special procurement auctions pushes investors to weigh political risk alongside

Legal & General stock slips — the UK data calendar that could move LGEN next week

Legal & General stock slips — the UK data calendar that could move LGEN next week

London, Jan 17, 2026, 09:30 (GMT) — Market closed. Legal & General Group Plc (LGEN.L) shares ended Friday at 265.8 pence, down 0.3 pence, or 0.11%, from the prior close. With the London market closed over the weekend, investors are left to digest broader economic cues ahead of Monday’s session. (Hargreaves Lansdown) The dip is slight, yet the setup feels familiar. Legal & General operates in a segment that often moves with interest rate shifts: it underwrites long-term retirement policies and manages substantial bond holdings, making gilt yields—yields on UK government bonds—crucial. UK data and shifting rate expectations fueled market

Severn Trent share price: SVT closes higher as Ofwat scrutiny keeps UK water stocks in focus

London, Jan 17, 2026, 09:24 GMT — Market closed. Severn Trent (SVT.L) closed Friday at 2,835 pence, gaining 16 pence, or 0.57%. With London markets closed for the weekend and no new company updates, trading remained quiet. The water utility’s market cap stands near £8.54 billion. Its latest disclosure on the London Stock Exchange’s Regulatory News Service (RNS) dates back to Jan. 2. (London South East) This matters now. On a quiet tape, regulated utilities move more on big-picture factors — policy risks, interest rates, and changing hunger for steady dividends — than on company-specific news. The stock ends up

SSE share price hits a 52-week high — here’s what could move the UK utility next week

London, Jan 17, 2026, 09:19 GMT — The market has closed. SSE Plc (SSE.L) shares climbed 1.12% to finish at 2,343 pence (£23.43) on Friday, hitting a fresh 52-week peak. The UK utility outpaced a flat broader market despite lighter trading volumes. (MarketWatch) This move is significant as SSE occupies a sweet spot between two favored investor plays: regulated electricity networks offering steady returns, and renewables projects that secure long-term revenues when policy backing is certain. This week, SSE gained renewed government-backed support for a major offshore wind project, bringing a sharper policy focus. Even with the stock close to
