Wave Life Sciences stock drops 8% as JPM Healthcare Conference looms; obesity data in focus

Wave Life Sciences stock drops 8% as JPM Healthcare Conference looms; obesity data in focus

New York, January 5, 2026, 1:09 PM ET — Regular session Wave Life Sciences Ltd shares fell $1.34, or 8.4%, to $14.61 in afternoon trade on Monday, extending a sharp pullback in the clinical-stage biotech even as the company flagged an investor-conference appearance next week. The move matters because the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference often sets the tone for biotech investing early in the year, and Wave’s stock has become closely tethered to expectations for updates on its obesity program and financing needs. Biotech lagged more broadly, with the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF down about 2.1% and the iShares Nasdaq

Why Exxon Mobil stock is up today: Venezuela shock lifts XOM as oil prices firm

New York, January 5, 2026, 12:39 PM EST — Regular session Exxon Mobil Corp shares rose about 2% to $125.08 in midday trading on Monday, as energy stocks gained after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro over the weekend. Analysts at J.P. Morgan said the upheaval could improve the odds Exxon recovers arbitration damages — compensation ordered by an arbitration panel after a legal dispute — tied to assets seized in 2007. Reuters The move matters because Venezuela holds roughly 17% of global oil reserves, and any shift in U.S. sanctions policy would reshape long-dated supply expectations and, in

Adobe stock slips after Jefferies downgrade reignites AI monetization debate

Adobe stock slips after Jefferies downgrade reignites AI monetization debate

New York, January 5, 2026, 12:00 (EST) — Regular session Adobe shares fell on Monday after Jefferies downgraded the Photoshop maker to Hold and cut its price target. The stock was down 0.7% at $330.89 by midday in New York, after trading between $327.51 and $332.94. TipRanks The call lands as investors press Adobe for harder evidence that its AI features can add revenue, not just product usage. Jefferies pointed to rising competition in the lower end of Adobe’s market, where casual users have more AI-enabled alternatives to Creative Cloud subscriptions. Investing Jefferies’ software analyst Brent Thill urged clients to

NuScale Power stock jumps 16% as House sets ‘New Nuclear Era’ hearing — what’s next for SMR

New York, January 5, 2026, 11:38 EST — Regular session NuScale Power Corp shares rose 16.1% to $18.93 in late morning trading on Monday. The stock ranged from $16.83 to $19.23, with about 36.3 million shares traded. The jump underscores how quickly traders are repricing small nuclear-reactor names on policy signals early in the year. For companies still years away from meaningful revenue, the prospect of faster approvals can dominate the tape. That focus sharpened after the House Energy and Commerce Committee said it will hold a January 7 hearing titled “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,”

Baidu stock slides as Kunlunxin Hong Kong IPO plan shifts focus to timing, approvals

New York, January 5, 2026, 09:52 EST — Regular session Baidu’s U.S.-listed shares (BIDU) fell 3.7% to $144.75 in morning trading on Monday, retreating from Friday’s close of $150.30 as investors took profits after last week’s surge. The move matters now because the trade has shifted from the headline to the hard parts: how quickly Baidu can turn a filing into an offering, and what valuation the market will put on the chip unit. A spin-off is the separate listing of a business, and it can reset how investors value the parent company. Baidu said its artificial intelligence chip unit,

Sandisk stock rises on chip-shortage bets as SNDK heads into Jan. 29 earnings

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 09:44 EST — Regular session Sandisk Corp (SNDK.O) shares rose 2.6% in early trading on Monday, extending a rally in U.S. memory and storage names after reports that chip shortages could translate into higher prices. Micron Technology (MU.O) was up 2.8% and Western Digital (WDC.O) gained 3.1%, Reuters reported. Reuters The move matters because memory pricing can swing quickly when supply tightens. For Sandisk, which sells NAND flash — a type of storage memory used in devices from smartphones to data-center drives — firmer pricing can lift revenue and margins in a business that is

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 08:01 ET — Premarket UiPath shares were up about 0.8% at $16.00 in premarket trading on Monday after RBC Capital Markets cut its price target on the automation software maker to $17 from $19 while keeping a Sector Perform rating.

Amazon stock: What to watch as analysts raise targets on Rufus AI and AWS

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 06:02 (EST) — Premarket Amazon.com shares edged higher in premarket trading on Monday as two analyst notes pointed to upside from the company’s AI-powered shopping assistant and cloud growth. The stock was up about 0.4% at $227.33, after ending Friday at $226.50.  MarketWatch The fresh bullish calls matter because investors are pressing Amazon to show that its AI push is moving the needle beyond headlines.
