Walmart stock pops after AI board pick — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 17:31 EST — After-hours Walmart Inc shares rose 1.3% on Friday and were last up at $114.53 in late after-hours trading, after the retailer announced a new board appointment that underscored its push to put more technology at the center of the business.

Plug Power stock edges higher premarket after Walmart scraps warrant and dilution overhang

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 08:35 EST — Premarket Plug Power (PLUG) shares rose about 1% in premarket trade on Wednesday after the hydrogen fuel-cell and electrolyzer maker said it struck a new agreement with Walmart that scraps Walmart’s long-running stock warrant.
