Meta stock ends up after nuclear power deals as WhatsApp EU rules, China review loom

New York, January 10, 2026, 09:36 — Market closed Meta Platforms announced 20-year deals to buy power from three Vistra nuclear plants and to collaborate on small modular reactors with Oklo and TerraPower.

Dow and S&P 500 hit fresh record closes as chip rally shrugs off tariff noise

U.S. stocks closed at record highs on Friday, with the S&P 500 ending up 0.65% at 6,966.28 and the Dow up 0.48% at 49,504.07, as chipmakers led a broad push higher to wrap the first full week of 2026. The Nasdaq gained 0.82% to 23,671.35, and the PHLX semiconductor index jumped 2.7% to a record; Broadcom rose 3.8% and Vistra surged after Meta agreed to buy power from its nuclear plants. “Investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers,” said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments. The rally came with investors trying to map the next Federal Reserve move after the unemployment rate fell to 4.4% in December even as job gains missed forecasts. Traders in rate futures cut expectations for near-term easing, with one Reuters tally showing a 44% chance of a cut by April, and bets shifting toward June; Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said “the low-hire environment continues,” while Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said, “Inflation is still too high.”

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:58 — After-hours NuScale Power Corp shares climbed late Friday following a Bank of America upgrade. The small modular reactor developer—known for its factory-built nuclear units—was raised to neutral with a $28 price target, MarketBeat said.

S&P 500 hits record, chip stocks jump — jobs report and Trump tariff case set up next market move

The S&P 500 closed at a record on Friday as Broadcom and other chip stocks kept Wall Street climbing after a softer-than-expected U.S. jobs report. The index rose 0.65% to 6,966.28, while the Nasdaq gained 0.82% to 23,671.35 and the Dow added 0.48% to 49,504.07; the PHLX semiconductor index, which tracks major chipmakers, jumped 2.7% to a record. “On the overall AI theme, investors are getting granular,” said Zachary Hill at Horizon Investments, as Lam Research surged after Mizuho lifted its price target and Vistra rallied on a power deal with Meta. The labor data mattered because it set the tone for the next Fed meeting and for how traders price rate cuts in 2026. Nonfarm payrolls — jobs outside farming — rose by 50,000 in December, below economists’ forecast of 60,000, after a downwardly revised 56,000 in November. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.4% and wages rose 3.8% from a year earlier, and “all roads lead to the unemployment rate … it should douse the Fed’s recent urgency,” Fitch Ratings’ Olu Sonola said.

  • Theravance Biopharma (TBPH) Slides 3% After $929M Zymeworks (ZYME) Deal Announced
    June 30, 2026, 10:24 AM EDT. Theravance Biopharma (TBPH) shares slipped about 3% on June 29, 2026, after Zymeworks (ZYME) said it would buy the company in an all-cash deal valued at around $929 million. The deal is set to close in H2 2026. Theravance went up for sale after its main drug, ampreloxetine, missed in Phase III trials. Most of Theravance's revenue came from a single COPD collaboration. The buyout gives shareholders $17 per share, which is a 22% premium to the March 3 close, plus CVRs linked to future ampreloxetine proceeds. Management called the move the best route for shareholder value as operational cuts and slow growth continue. Theravance has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
