BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock jumps as Tom Lee presses for a 50 billion-share vote

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 11:34 ET — Market closed Shares of NYSE American-listed BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) were last up about 15% at $31.19, after the company released fresh materials from Chairman Tom Lee urging shareholders to approve a major increase in authorized shares.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:48 ET — Market closed Lam Research shares rose 8.1% on Friday to close at $185.06, after the chip-equipment maker was named to Citi’s Large Cap Recommended list for 2026. The stock touched $185.78 intraday before settling back from its high.

Pony AI stock jumps nearly 11% on CLSA call — what to know before Monday’s open

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 10:20 ET — Market closed Pony AI Inc shares surged 10.7% on Friday to close at $16.07, after brokerage CLSA initiated coverage with an “outperform” rating and a $22 price target.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:37 ET — Market closed Salesforce Inc shares ended the first trading day of 2026 down 4.26%, closing at $253.62 on Friday, a sharp pullback in a Dow component that investors often treat as a read on corporate software spending. Investing The move matters now because high-multiple software stocks tend to react quickly when interest-rate expectations change. Higher bond yields can pressure valuations by lifting the discount rate investors apply to future earnings.

Japan Exchange Group, the operator of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, edged up 0.1% to $10.67 in its U.S.-traded American depositary receipt (ADR) on Friday, a U.S. certificate that tracks foreign shares.

Eos Energy (EOSE) stock surges on heavy options flow — what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:30 ET — Market closed Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. shares ended Friday’s session up 13.18% at $12.97, after the first U.S. trading day of 2026 put smaller, higher-volatility names back in focus. The stock was last indicated at $13.04 in after-hours trading. MarketBeat The jump matters because Eos is one of the market’s more heavily shorted energy-storage names, which can turn a routine bounce into a faster rally as bearish traders buy shares back to limit losses. Friday’s move also came as small caps outperformed in a broader risk-on tilt to start the year. Reuters

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:44 ET — Market closed Sandisk Corp shares closed up 15.95% at $275.24 on Friday, leading U.S.-listed storage and memory names into the first session of 2026. U.S. equity markets are closed on Sunday.

The question now is whether that momentum carries into January as investors reset positioning for the new year. Barron’s Sandisk said it appointed Alexander R. Bradley, chief

The outsized move put the spotlight back on battery-storage names, a corner of clean energy that investors often treat as a high-beta bet on grid investment and power-demand growth.

Milan, February 7, 2026, 10:54 (CET) — Market closed.
