Wave Life Sciences (WVE) stock slides 6% even as biotech ETFs rise — what’s driving it now

Wave Life Sciences (WVE) stock slides 6% even as biotech ETFs rise — what’s driving it now

New York, January 9, 2026, 13:20 (EST) — Regular session Wave Life Sciences Ltd shares fell about 5.6% on Friday, down 83 cents at $14.00, after trading between $13.99 and $15.09. The drop came even as biotech exchange-traded funds rose, with the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF up about 1% and the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF up about 0.5%. The move matters because Wave has become a high-beta obesity trade in the biotech tape, and the stock has been swinging on every new data point and funding headline. Traders have been leaning on near-term catalysts rather than fundamentals, and those catalysts

Ondas (ONDS) stock rises after $1 billion above-market financing — here’s what traders are parsing

Ondas (ONDS) stock rises after $1 billion above-market financing — here’s what traders are parsing

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:23 EST — Regular session Ondas Holdings Inc. shares rose about 3% on Friday, trading at $14.44, after the company said it priced a $1 billion registered direct offering of stock and warrants. The financing is a big swing for a company that has traded with sharp moves and thin conviction at times. It brings in fresh capital quickly, but it also puts the share count — and the overhang from warrants — front and center again. Investors tend to like cash coming in above the last close. They also worry about what comes with

AST SpaceMobile stock jumps 11% as BofA lifts target to $100, easing analyst-whiplash week

New York, January 9, 2026, 12:13 EST — Regular session AST SpaceMobile shares rose about 11% to $100.66 on Friday, paring part of a sharp, two-day slide and climb that has kept the stock on traders’ screens. Bank of America Securities analyst Michael Funk raised his price target on the satellite-to-cellular company to $100 from $85, according to a note cited by Moomoo. (Moomoo) The move matters because AST has become a high-volatility proxy for the “direct-to-cell” idea — using satellites to connect ordinary phones without special hardware — at a time when big banks are trying to pin down

Tidewater (TDW) stock holds near $57 after a 7% jump — charts, oil and earnings in view

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:21 EST — Regular session Tidewater Inc (NYSE:TDW) shares were down 0.1% at $56.66 in late morning trading on Friday, after rallying 7.1% on Thursday to close at $56.70. The stock touched $57.71 earlier in the session, and Thursday’s volume topped 1.1 million shares, more than double Wednesday’s. (Sweetwater Reporter) The pop comes with offshore-linked names back on some screens as crude prices firmed and investors absorbed a soft U.S. jobs report. Brent was up about 0.8% at $62.49 a barrel and U.S. crude rose about 0.9% to $58.27, while December payrolls rose 50,000 and

AST SpaceMobile stock rebounds, but Scotiabank’s Starlink warning keeps ASTS in play

AST SpaceMobile stock rebounds, but Scotiabank’s Starlink warning keeps ASTS in play

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 10:51 EST AST SpaceMobile shares were up about 9% on Friday morning, finding their footing after a midweek drop triggered by a Scotiabank downgrade that pointed to rising pressure from SpaceX’s Starlink and raised doubts about the company’s valuation. The call matters now because the market is trying to price a business that has to spend heavily before it can sell much. In direct-to-cell, the first network to show it can deliver reliable coverage — and lock in carriers at scale — could wind up controlling the most profitable lanes. Direct-to-cell is satellite coverage that

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 09:05 EST — Premarket D-Wave Quantum Inc (QBTS) shares slid about 3.1% to $29.28 in premarket trading on Friday as investors digested the company’s agreement to buy Quantum Circuits in a $550 million cash-and-stock deal. The stock component will be based on a 10-day volume-weighted average price, with a collar of $22.30 to $39.03 per share, and the deal can be terminated if it isn’t completed by April 6, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stock market today: Dow futures steady as jobs report and Supreme Court tariff ruling loom

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 08:21 EST U.S. stock index futures held mostly steady early Friday, with investors bracing for the December jobs report and a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could reshape President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs. By 6:57 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures were up 0.09% and Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.22%, while Dow futures were near flat.

Transocean stock ticks up in U.S. premarket as oil rises — what traders watch next

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:18 EST — Premarket Transocean Ltd shares were up 1.3% at $4.27 in premarket trading on Friday. The shares moved with firmer crude, which tends to buoy offshore drillers on bets that higher oil prices keep exploration budgets healthy. Brent was up about 1% and U.S. crude about 0.9% as traders weighed unrest in Iran and uncertainty over Venezuelan supply. “Iran protests seem to be gathering momentum, leading the market to worry about disruptions,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodity analysis at Saxo Bank reuters.com.

XRP price holds near $2 after first spot ETF outflows; U.S. jobs data next

New York, January 9, 2026, 06:31 (EST) — Premarket XRP edged higher on Friday morning, hovering near $2.10 as the market digested the first net outflows from U.S.-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds and braced for the U.S. jobs report later in the day. (CoinMarketCap) That matters because ETF flows have become a quick read on whether institutions are adding to positions or taking money off the table. For XRP, a run of uninterrupted inflows had been a rare steady tailwind in a market that often turns on a dime. (CoinMarketCap) The timing is awkward. The U.S. Labor Department is set

Carvana stock slips, but Morgan Stanley lifts bull case to $750 — what traders watch next

New York, January 8, 2026, 21:30 (EST) — Market closed Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco maintained an Overweight rating and a $450 price target on Carvana (CVNA) and raised his bull-case scenario to $750, TheFly reported Thursday, citing the company’s dealership purchases as a sign it is “readily expanding” beyond used cars. Shares of Carvana fell 1.8% to $442.58 after trading between $433.30 and $457.22; the stock is up about 11% so far in 2026 but about 9% below its 52-week high of $485.33.
