NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Novanta Inc shares fell 6.7% on Friday and closed at $111.14, swinging between $119.96 and $110.46 in the year’s first U.S. trading session.

AppLovin stock slides into Monday after 8% drop — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:11 ET — Market closed AppLovin shares ended Friday’s session down 8.2% at $618.32, leaving the mobile advertising company heading into Monday under pressure after a bruising start to 2026. Investing The slide matters now because AppLovin was one of last year’s standout winners, and the new-year reset is testing how much conviction remains after a rapid run-up. The drop also pulled the stock below its 50-day moving average, the average closing price over the past 50 sessions that many traders use to judge short- to mid-term momentum.

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps with bitcoin rebound — here’s what matters before Monday

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:07 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares ended the first U.S. trading session of 2026 up 3.5% at $157.16, before markets closed for the weekend. The move tracked bitcoin’s recovery, leaving crypto-linked stocks in focus heading into Monday’s open. The Nasdaq-listed company — formerly MicroStrategy — is widely treated as a proxy for bitcoin, meaning investors often buy or sell the stock to express a view on the token. That relationship tends to amplify moves: when bitcoin rises or falls, Strategy can swing more sharply. Strategy That sensitivity matters now because bitcoin has been

Phillips 66 stock in focus after U.S. strike in Venezuela jolts crude flow outlook

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 08:39 ET — Market closed Phillips 66 shares will be in focus when U.S. trading resumes Monday after the United States seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a Saturday operation that threatens to reshape crude flows and refinery economics. The refiner’s stock last closed at $130.57, up about 1.2%.  MarketWatch The weekend escalation matters now because it landed when markets were shut, forcing investors to reprice energy names at the next open with limited price discovery in between. For refiners such as Phillips 66, the key swing factor is whether Washington’s policy leads to a

MARA stock jumps 10% as Bitcoin climbs above $90,000 — what to watch before markets reopen

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:28 ET — Market closed Shares of bitcoin miner MARA Holdings (MARA) closed up 10.4% at $9.91 on Friday, tracking a rebound in crypto-linked stocks on the first trading day of 2026. Yahoo Finance The move matters because MARA trades as a leveraged proxy for bitcoin. Miners’ revenue is tied to the value of the coins they earn, so the stocks often move more sharply than the token itself. Traders head into the new week focused on U.S. economic releases, capped by Friday’s payrolls report, for clues on interest-rate expectations. “It’s a time to actually

QBTS stock jumps as D-Wave Quantum rally puts CES 2026 and U.S. data in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:32 ET — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc shares ended Friday up 7.6% at $28.13, with about 48 million shares traded as the stock ranged between $25.44 and $28.42. The move matters because the quantum-computing sector has started 2026 with renewed momentum, and D-Wave is approaching a busy stretch of investor-facing events. Traders have also been recalibrating their bets on high-growth, high-volatility names after fresh guidance from Federal Reserve officials. Philadelphia Fed President Anna Paulson said on Saturday that further U.S. rate cuts could be some way off as policymakers take stock of inflation and
