Tesla stock: What to watch after Q4 deliveries miss and BYD takes the EV crown

Tesla stock: What to watch after Q4 deliveries miss and BYD takes the EV crown

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 4:16 PM ET — Market closed Tesla shares closed at $438.07 on Friday, down 2.6%, after the electric-vehicle maker reported a bigger-than-expected drop in fourth-quarter deliveries, a filing showed. The update also underscored that Tesla has ceded the annual EV sales lead to China’s BYD. SEC The delivery report matters now because it is the market’s first clear checkpoint for Tesla demand after U.S. federal EV tax credits ended in September, removing a key lever that had helped pull forward orders earlier in 2025. It also lands as investors reset positioning for the new year

Macquarie stock: MQG edges up into 2026 — the two dates investors are watching

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 16:07 ET — Market closed Macquarie Group Ltd (MQG.AX) shares ended the first ASX session of 2026 slightly higher, closing at A$203.73 on Friday, up 0.26%. The investment bank’s next operational update is scheduled for Feb. 10, according to MarketScreener’s company calendar. The muted move comes as Australian investors return from the New Year break to a market still trading on interest-rate expectations. The S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.2% on Friday in thin volumes, led by a 0.4% gain in financials, while a selloff in miners capped the advance, a Reuters report published by The Business

PLS Group Limited stock: what to watch after Friday’s 2% climb and ahead of the Jan. 30 updateNew York, January 4, 2026, 16:09 ET — Market closed

PLS Group Limited stock: what to watch after Friday’s 2% climb and ahead of the Jan. 30 updateNew York, January 4, 2026, 16:09 ET — Market closed

PLS Group Limited (ASX:PLS) shares closed at A$4.31 on Friday, up 2.1% in their last Sydney session as the new year began. The stock is up about 95% over the past year and is within a few cents of its 52-week high, after rebounding from a low of A$1.07, LSEG data showed. That matters because PLS is one of Australia’s most closely watched lithium names, and its share price tends to move with shifts in battery-material pricing and sentiment. After a steep 12-month run, investors are looking for confirmation that volumes and costs are holding up, not just headlines about

Lumentum (LITE) stock jumps near a new high — what traders are watching next week

New York, Jan 4, 2026, 15:50 ET — Market closed Lumentum Holdings shares rose 4.7% on Friday to close at $386.11, lifting the optical-components maker toward its highs as 2026 began. The stock last traded at that level in the regular session, with U.S. markets shut on Sunday. The move matters because it leaves Lumentum extended into the first full week of January, when fresh economic data could sway rate expectations and risk appetite. Those macro swings have been moving “AI infrastructure” trades — the group that has helped power Lumentum’s run. Reuters “Investors might be a little bit more

Bloom Energy stock jumps 14% to start 2026 — key levels and catalysts before Monday’s open

Bloom Energy stock jumps 14% to start 2026 — key levels and catalysts before Monday’s open

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 15:39 ET — Market closed Bloom Energy Corporation shares (BE) surged 13.6% on Friday to close at $98.69, outpacing a rally across U.S.-listed fuel-cell makers. The jump put the stock back within sight of $100, a round-number level traders often treat as near-term resistance. A clean break above it would be a fresh momentum test when markets reopen on Monday. That matters because Bloom has become a high-beta proxy for behind-the-meter power — electricity generated on site rather than pulled from the grid — for data centers and other large users. With key U.S. economic

Why IREN stock jumped 13% to start 2026 — and what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 14:46 ET — Market closed IREN Limited shares surged about 13% on Friday, closing at $42.70 in the first trading session of 2026, as bitcoin recovered above the $90,000 mark and crypto-linked stocks bounced. Yahoo Finance The move matters because IREN trades as a high-beta proxy for two volatile themes: bitcoin mining and the push by some miners into AI-focused data centers. When bitcoin stabilizes and risk appetite improves, the group tends to move sharply. CoinDesk “The market is seeing a ‘buy the dip, sell the rip,’ trading mentality,” Joe Mazzola, head of trading &

India stock market open Jan 5: Oil shock risk meets Nifty record high — what to watch on Dalal Street

India stock market open Jan 5: Oil shock risk meets Nifty record high — what to watch on Dalal Street

MUMBAI, Jan 4, 2026, 14:40 ET — Market closed Oil is back in focus for Indian markets ahead of Monday’s open after Washington’s weekend moves in Venezuela revived supply worries and set the stage for a jump in crude when trading resumes.  Reuters That matters now because India imports most of its crude, and higher oil typically feeds into inflation expectations and weighs on the rupee, tightening conditions for equities. With benchmarks already at all-time highs, traders are likely to treat any oil-led risk-off swing as a direct test of this rally’s staying power. India’s Nifty 50 ended Friday up

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 14:33 ET — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE: QBTS) shares closed up 7.6% on Friday at $28.13, after swinging between $25.43 and $28.35. About 48.2 million shares changed hands, taking the quantum-computing stock into the weekend with momentum. StockAnalysis The jump matters now because QBTS has become a fast-moving gauge of investor appetite for speculative tech as 2026 begins.

ZoomInfo stock slides 5.5% — key levels and the next dates investors are watching

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:41 ET — Market closed ZoomInfo Technologies Inc (GTM.O) shares closed down 5.5% on Friday at $9.61, setting the software and data company up for a cautious start to the new week when U.S. markets reopen on Monday. The selloff pushed the stock below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages — common charting gauges that smooth daily price swings — at about $10.23 and $10.45, MarketBeat data showed. The same dataset put ZoomInfo’s consensus analyst rating at “Hold” with an average price target of roughly $11.79, leaving shares about 18% below that level after Friday’s

Diebold Nixdorf (DBD) stock slides nearly 6% to start 2026 — what traders watch next

New York, January 4, 2026, 13:18 ET — Market closed Diebold Nixdorf shares closed down 5.79% on Friday at $63.96, marking a sharp retreat on the first trading day of 2026. The stock will reopen for trading on Monday after U.S. markets stayed shut over the weekend. Diebold Nixdorf Investors The move matters because the ATM and bank-technology provider had been hovering in the high-$60s into year-end, leaving it exposed to profit-taking as investors reset positions for the new year. A fast reversal early in January can set the tone for sentiment in smaller, more volatile names. Diebold Nixdorf Investors

XRP price today: XRP holds above $2 as SEC exit and crypto-policy calendar come into focus

XRP price today: XRP holds above $2 as SEC exit and crypto-policy calendar come into focus

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:38 ET — Market closed XRP held above $2 on Sunday, extending a rally that has outpaced major tokens as traders latched onto U.S. regulatory signals and new ETF demand. The token was up about 5% over the past 24 hours at roughly $2.10, according to Coinbase pricing. Coinbase The move matters because XRP has been unusually sensitive to Washington’s tone after years of legal and regulatory scrutiny, and because U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds have added a stock-like wrapper for investors who want exposure without holding the token directly. An ETF is a fund that trades

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:44 ET — Market closed SailPoint, Inc. shares ended Friday down 6.3% at $18.95, setting the identity-security firm’s stock up for a closely watched Monday open after a late-week slide. SailPoint Investor The drop matters now because software stocks that trade on future growth tend to swing with interest-rate expectations, and investors face a packed U.S. data calendar in the first full week of 2026. Those releases can quickly shift bond yields — and, by extension, equity valuations.
