Exzeo Group (XZO) stock drops 6% into weekend — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Exzeo Group shares fell 6.1% on Friday, closing at $22.76, as the newly public insurance-technology company headed into the weekend with a sharp pullback. The stock traded between $24.49 and $22.19 during the session, according to market data. Yahoo Finance The slide matters because Exzeo has a short trading history after its November listing, and investors are still testing how the stock behaves around key levels without fresh company news.

CoreWeave stock jumps 11% on credit-covenant relief — what CRWV investors watch next

New York, Jan 4, 2026, 10:28 ET — Market closed CoreWeave shares surged in the last U.S. session after the company disclosed amendments to a delayed-draw term loan facility that eased near-term liquidity requirements and delayed some covenant testing, an SEC filing showed.

Starbucks stock today: SBUX slips after MrBeast tie-up as investors eye earnings and rates

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 15:45 ET — Market closed Starbucks Corp shares (SBUX) closed down 0.3% on Friday at $83.97, leaving the stock about 29% below its 52-week high. The move was small, but it lands as investors reset portfolios for 2026 and reprice consumer discretionary stocks — companies that lean on non-essential spending — as interest-rate expectations shift. Starbucks on Friday said it will sponsor season two of YouTube creator Jimmy Donaldson’s “Beast Games” and roll out a limited-time “Cannon Ball” Refresher drink on Jan. 14, Nation’s Restaurant News reported. “When contestants saw Starbucks on set, they said

Quantum computing stocks surge to start 2026: D-Wave, Rigetti, IonQ lead — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Pure-play quantum computing stocks closed sharply higher on Friday, kicking off the first trading day of 2026 with outsized gains as investors returned to higher-risk corners of the market. The move matters because the group has become a barometer for “risk-on” appetite in smaller, thematic technology names. Quantum computing aims to use quantum bits, or qubits, to process certain calculations differently than classical computers, but most listed pure-plays are still early-stage businesses. The rally came as small caps rebounded in the broader market. “The market is seeing a ‘buy the

Microsoft stock slides on Brazil antitrust probe into cloud licensing — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:33 ET — Market closed Microsoft (MSFT.O) shares ended down 2.21% on Friday after Brazil’s antitrust watchdog opened a probe into the company’s corporate software and cloud computing practices. The stock finished at $472.94, and U.S. markets are closed on Saturday. Terra The investigation puts cloud licensing — the rules and prices for using Microsoft software on different cloud platforms — back in focus as investors size up regulatory risks alongside growth. It also lands as megacap tech valuations remain sensitive to changes in interest-rate expectations. Those expectations may get tested quickly. U.S. employment data

Kymera Therapeutics stock slides nearly 7% after CEO share-sale filing — what KYMR investors watch next

Kymera Therapeutics stock slides nearly 7% after CEO share-sale filing — what KYMR investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:39 ET — Regular session Kymera Therapeutics Inc (KYMR.O) shares fell nearly 7% on Friday afternoon after a regulatory filing disclosed a year-end sale by Chief Executive Nello Mainolfi. Kymera was down 6.9% at $72.42, after earlier touching $72.18. The move matters because Kymera has become a high-sensitivity biotech name, with investor expectations tied closely to clinical progress for its experimental immunology drug KT-621. In that setup, insider selling can test sentiment, even when the transactions are scheduled in advance. Friday’s drop stood out against a steadier tape. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) was

Uber stock rises as UK VAT ‘taxi tax’ takes effect; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:30 ET — Regular session Uber Technologies (UBER.N) shares were up 0.9% at $82.48 on Friday afternoon. The move came as investors tracked a UK tax change affecting ride-hailing economics and Uber’s contract rewrite for drivers outside London. The Guardian The timing matters because the UK’s value-added tax (VAT) — a sales tax — can quickly change what riders pay and what drivers earn. Those two levers often decide whether ride-hailing platforms can grow volumes without giving up margins. The Guardian Britain said on Friday that private-hire vehicle operators in London can no longer use
