BP stock jumps on oil surge and buyback update — what to watch next

BP stock jumps on oil surge and buyback update — what to watch next

London, Jan 11, 2026, 08:17 GMT — The market has closed. BP shares closed Friday 2.39% higher, at 425.6 pence. (MarketScreener) This matters now as oil majors trade almost like a stand-in for the latest news out of the Middle East and Washington. For BP, even a few dollars’ change in crude prices can shift investor chatter around cash returns. Timing is another key factor. January tends to be quiet, yet it often sets the tone for buybacks, dividend expectations, and whether strength upstream can outweigh the noise from refining and marketing. Oil prices climbed Friday as traders grappled with

Reckitt (RKT.L) stock near 52-week high after buyback filing as £1.6bn special dividend vote nears

London, January 11, 2026, 08:24 GMT — The market has closed. Reckitt Benckiser Group plc shares wrapped up the week mostly flat, hovering near a new high following a routine update on share buybacks. The stock finished Friday at 6,176 pence, a slight 0.1% gain, after hitting a peak of 6,262 pence earlier in the session. (Investing.com) This is crucial now as the buyback wave clashes with a major corporate event — dates like these usually draw in short-term capital. With the market closed over the weekend, traders have little else to react to. Reckitt plans a 235 pence special

HSBC share price: What to know after France tax deal and Hang Seng buyout vote

HSBC share price: What to know after France tax deal and Hang Seng buyout vote

London, Jan 11, 2026, 08:21 GMT — Market closed HSBC shares in London edged up by 0.1% to close at 1,194.2 pence on Friday, showing little momentum after a week packed with legal and deal news. (Hargreaves Lansdown) That steady close counts because the next catalyst isn’t just the macro tape anymore. Two separate issues — a French settlement and a Hong Kong deal — now loom over capital returns and short-term messaging. Buybacks have been central to the UK lender’s equity appeal, and changes in available capital usually ripple through the stock fast. A major payout or a postponed

Hongkong Land stock jumps on fresh buyback filing — $7.77 is the level to watch

Hongkong Land stock jumps on fresh buyback filing — $7.77 is the level to watch

HONG KONG, Jan 11, 2026, 15:18 HKT — Market closed Shares of Hongkong Land Holdings Limited (H78.SI) climbed 3.2% to close at $7.73 on Friday, pushing gains further after the company announced another share buyback. Since the start of the year, the stock has rallied roughly 11%. (MarketScreener Hong Kong) This development is significant as buybacks are gaining renewed attention among Singapore-listed companies. On Friday, the Monetary Authority of Singapore launched a consultation on legal reforms that would introduce “safe harbour” rules for share buybacks. This is part of a wider effort to streamline listings and boost their appeal. (Reuters)

CapitaLand Investment stock rises to S$2.89 as logistics push sharpens focus on Feb 11 results

CapitaLand Investment stock rises to S$2.89 as logistics push sharpens focus on Feb 11 results

Singapore, Jan 11, 2026, 15:06 (SGT) — Market closed Shares of CapitaLand Investment Limited climbed 1.8% on Friday, ending the session at S$2.89, giving the SGX-listed stock some momentum heading into the weekend. (TradingView) This shift is significant as investors increasingly see CLI less as a landlord and more as a steward of others’ capital. Fees linked to assets under management, or FUM, tend to be steadier than property gains, which fluctuate with market swings. CLI reported S$120 billion in FUM as of Nov. 5 and announced a minority stake in Ally Logistic Property, a smart warehouse developer. The CapitaLand

D-Wave Quantum stock slides into weekend after sharp swing; QBTS investors eye late-January deal timeline

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 19:29 EST — The market has closed for the day. D-Wave Quantum Inc shares ended Friday down 4.0%, closing at $28.11 after a choppy session. Investors now turn to next week for updates on the company’s growth strategy. This move is significant now because D-Wave has turned into a fast-money favorite once more. Even minor changes in expectations can pack a punch when investors juggle execution risks alongside lofty promises in a developing technology. U.S. markets are closed for the weekend, shifting attention to Monday’s open and the potential impact of Wall Street Zen’s recent

NuScale Power stock jumps on BofA upgrade as Meta nuclear deals set up the week ahead

NuScale Power stock jumps on BofA upgrade as Meta nuclear deals set up the week ahead

New York, January 10, 2026, 19:14 EST — Market closed NuScale Power Corp shares jumped 4.3% Friday, closing at $20.51, after Bank of America upgraded the small nuclear-reactor developer. The upgrade reignited trader interest ahead of next week. Intraday, the stock fluctuated between $19.74 and $22.49. The timing is key since “SMR” stocks have been behaving more like a thematic play than a story grounded in fundamentals, with investors tying nuclear power to surging data center demand. When the trade gains momentum, smaller, higher-beta names like NuScale can swing sharply both ways. NuScale’s news stream slowed down heading into the

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 19:24 ET — The market has closed. Archer Aviation shares ended Friday’s session 1.2% higher, closing at $8.81. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, investors will have to wait until Monday for the next price update. Archer, the air-taxi maker, saw a boost at CES after revealing its collaboration with Nvidia on onboard computing for its Midnight eVTOL aircraft. The company said it will use Nvidia’s IGX Thor platform to develop AI systems focused on pilot safety, airspace integration, and autonomy-ready controls.

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 17:32 EST — Market closed Intuit Inc (INTU.O) saw its shares slip 0.9% to end Friday at $646.90, following a Wells Fargo downgrade. The bank cut its price target to $700 from $840 for the TurboTax owner. Shares fluctuated between $636.46 and $653.00, with roughly 1.3 million changing hands. (MarketScreener) The timing’s tricky for the stock as the IRS announced this week that the 2026 filing season kicks off Jan. 26—the first day it’ll accept 2025 tax returns. Taxpayers have until April 15, 2026, to file, with the IRS expecting roughly 164 million individual returns,

Amgen stock slides into weekend as JPMorgan healthcare conference looms

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 17:43 EST — Market closed. Shares of Amgen Inc. closed down on Friday, marking a second consecutive day of losses as investors prepared for a new batch of healthcare conference updates. The timing is key as deal discussions pick up again with executives and bankers gathering in San Francisco for the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, a major early-year event for the sector. Jeremy Meilman, JPMorgan’s global co-head of healthcare investment banking, noted that firms are “dusting off the playbook on the art of the possible.” (Reuters) Amgen finds itself in a familiar yet tricky position:

Blackstone stock closes higher as Barclays trims target; CPI and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 17:06 EST — Market closed Blackstone Inc (BX.N) shares climbed 1.5% on Friday, closing at $157.62 after fluctuating between $154 and $158.26 during the session. Barclays cut its price target slightly to $171 from $172 but maintained an “equal weight” rating, signaling a neutral stance on the stock. This shift is significant since Blackstone operates where markets meet dealmaking. Once stocks and credit stabilize, exits become smoother and fundraising usually picks up. Timing plays a role too. Investors are aligning macro data with the kickoff of earnings season, hunting for any rate fluctuations that might
