Rio Tinto stock slides on revived Glencore merger talks as Feb 5 deadline nears

London, January 9, 2026, 12:11 GMT — Regular session Rio Tinto (RIO.L) shares slid on Friday after the miner confirmed preliminary discussions with Glencore over a possible combination. Rio was down 2.2% in London by 1044 GMT, while Glencore jumped 10%, with markets also watching a U.S. jobs report later in the day.

Oscar Health stock steadies premarket after ACA subsidies vote; UBS lifts rating

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 05:47 EST — Premarket Oscar Health shares were flat at $16.90 in premarket trading on Friday, after rising 2.6% in the prior session, as investors weighed a U.S. House vote to restore expired Affordable Care Act subsidies and fresh analyst commentary.

D-Wave Quantum stock slips as $550 million Quantum Circuits deal puts dilution in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 21:16 EST — Trading ended for the session. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) shares dropped 3.1% on Thursday, continuing declines following its announcement to acquire competitor Quantum Circuits in a cash-and-stock transaction. The stock fluctuated between $28.66 and $30.44, with roughly 38.7 million shares traded. The acquisition signals a shift to “gate-model” quantum computers, which execute general-purpose quantum algorithms. D-Wave had previously concentrated on quantum annealing, a technique focused on optimization tasks like scheduling. The transaction also places D-Wave in a more competitive field, competing with better-funded rivals and specialized firms for clients and reputation.

Riley Wealth, after the Nasdaq ended lower even as the Dow rose. Reuters
