Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK) stock drops nearly 5% as dry-bulk freight gauge slips

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 13:43 EST — Regular session Star Bulk Carriers Corp shares fell 4.8% to $19.76 by 1:25 p.m. EST on Friday, after earlier touching $20.75. The stock’s 52-week range runs from $12.06 to $20.87, and the company’s market value stood near $2.4 billion.

Establishment Labs stock slides 5%: traders eye Motiva FDA next steps and JPM conference talk

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:50 EST — Regular session Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. shares slid about 5% to $69.22 in early afternoon trading Friday, after earlier rising as high as $74.37. The move stands out because the stock has been among the sharper movers in small-cap medical devices this week, and traders are balancing two timelines: near-term investor events and the longer U.S. regulatory process for its Motiva breast implants. On Friday, the broader market climbed after U.S. data showed employers added 50,000 jobs in December, leaving rate-cut bets intact even as the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.4%.

GE Aerospace stock climbs on $1.42 billion Navy engine deal as Jan. 22 earnings near

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:45 EST — Regular session GE Aerospace shares rose about 2.1% to $321.13 on Friday after a U.S. Navy contract notice showed the engine maker won a $1.42 billion modification tied to CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter production. The award covers 277 T408-GE-400 turboshaft engines and runs through September 2032; it is a firm-fixed-price deal, meaning the contractor is paid a set amount and must manage any cost overruns. (Defense Daily) Why it matters now: investors have leaned into aerospace suppliers on the view that a backlog of engines and maintenance work can outlast bumps in plane

RTX stock rises as Trump buyback curb clouds defense payouts, $1.5T budget talk lingers

New York, January 9, 2026, 12:44 (EST) — Regular session RTX Corp shares rose 0.8% to $188.70 in midday trading on Friday, after moving between $184.51 and $189.16 earlier in the session. The defense and aerospace group has been volatile this week as Washington signaled a tougher line on contractor performance and shareholder payouts. The stock’s bounce came as investors digested President Donald Trump’s executive order that ties dividends, share buybacks and executive incentive pay to weapons delivery schedules, prompting contractors to seek legal advice, three sources told Reuters. The order lays out a 30-day window for the Pentagon to

New York, January 9, 2026, 12:25 EST — Regular session Ford Motor shares fell 1.5% to $14.19 in midday trading on Friday, after touching $14.43 earlier in the session. The stock opened at $14.32. The pullback follows a sharp rally a day earlier after Piper Sandler upgraded Ford to overweight from neutral and raised its price target to $16 from $11, MarketBeat data showed. The same data put Ford’s 50-day moving average at about $13.22 and its 200-day at roughly $12.20, a basic trend gauge chart watchers use to map momentum. (MarketBeat) Macro is also in the mix. A U.S.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:46 EST — Regular session Shares of Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR) fell about 1.5% to $57.50 in late-morning trading on Friday, easing a day after Keefe, Bruyette & Woods lifted its price target on the stock.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) stock ticks up as filing flags up to $1.2 bln Q4 upstream hit

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:39 EST — Regular session Exxon Mobil (XOM) shares rose 0.6% to $123.63 on Friday after the oil major said lower crude prices could cut fourth-quarter upstream earnings — its oil and gas production business — by about $800 million to $1.2 billion. It also said stronger refining margins, the gap between crude costs and fuel prices, could lift earnings by $300 million to $700 million, while restructuring charges may shave about $200 million. Analysts expect adjusted earnings of $1.66 per share; “many brokers, including us, have yet to mark to market,” Scotiabank analysts wrote.

GE Vernova stock nudges higher as Baird downgrade flags turbine oversupply fears

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:48 EST — Regular trading GE Vernova (GEV) shares added 0.3% to $630.53 in late morning trading on Friday after Baird downgraded the power-equipment maker and lowered its price target to $649 from $816. Baird analyst Ben Kallo said worries about power capacity oversupply were “shifting sentiment” on the stock. (TipRanks) The move matters because GE Vernova has turned into a crowded trade tied to booming electricity demand from artificial intelligence and other data-heavy uses, squeezing supplies of grid equipment and gas turbines. In December, the company forecast 2026 revenue of $41 billion to $42

Gap stock pauses after UBS upgrade pop; investors focus on beauty, Athleta next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:35 EST — Regular session Gap Inc shares edged lower on Friday, giving back a sliver of the prior session’s gains after UBS turned more positive on the retailer’s turnaround and pushed the stock toward the top of its 52-week range. (https://www.fool.com/quote/nyse/gap/) The pullback did little to cool the bigger point: a single analyst note helped reframe Gap’s story as something more than a basics-and-discounts retailer. That matters now because the stock has been moving fast, and investors are trying to decide whether a breakout is real or just a post-upgrade trade. A lot of

Caesars Entertainment stock eases after Susquehanna upgrade pop, with Feb. 17 earnings in view

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:34 EST — Regular session Caesars Entertainment, Inc. shares were off about 1.1% at $24.80 in morning trading on Friday, after starting out higher and seesawing between $24.54 and $26.05. The retreat follows a 9% jump on Thursday, when the stock beat casino and gaming peers including MGM Resorts, DraftKings and Las Vegas Sands even as the broader market was mostly flat.
