Clearwater Analytics stock out: Glazer merger-arb trade now zero, filing says

Clearwater Analytics Holdings Inc is done trading after being taken private. Its last trade printed at $24.56, just a penny above the $24.55 per share cash buyout. Clearwater said its Class A shares are now off the NYSE after the acquisition closed June 25. The penny difference worked out to just 0.04%. For merger-arb, the spread was all but gone. What remained was cash, deal timing, and execution frictions.

Palantir surges, adding $23 billion as Nvidia AI tie-up pushes valuation

Palantir Technologies Inc. trades more like a gatekeeper for enterprise AI than a regular software play. The stock finished Wednesday at $125.73, up $9.06, or 7.77%, with 58.56 million shares traded.

StablecoinX (NASDAQ:USDE) pops after Harness rollout, post-SPAC valuation gap in focus

StablecoinX (NASDAQ:USDE) pops after Harness rollout, post-SPAC valuation gap in focus

StablecoinX Inc. jumped over 100% in early premarket Thursday following its rollout of a stablecoin software platform. But for most traders, the bigger question was elsewhere: shares still traded at a big premium to the ENA-token value the company marks to, and public feeds hadn’t updated for the new share count after the SPAC deal. MarketWatch had USDE quoted at $4.5198 as of 8:04 a.m. EDT, up 117.30% in premarket trade on volume of 16.33 million shares. Shares ended Wednesday at $2.08, a drop of 24.36%, with 13.5 million shares changing hands. That’s around 60 times its 65-day average of 223,970 shares.

Nokia (HEL:NOKIA) shares drop as FMR cuts stake below 5% ahead of Q2

Nokia Oyj dropped in Thursday’s midday trading in Helsinki, heading lower even as the overall market stayed firm, after new filings revealed FMR LLC’s stake slipped under the 5% voting-rights threshold. The move comes with three weeks to go before Nokia’s Q2 report. Nasdaq says Helsinki stocks trade 10:00–18:30 local time. As of 15:02 EEST, Google Finance had Nokia at 11.14 euros, down 2.15%. The gap is notable since Nokia dropped about 2% on Thursday even as the local market was higher. Trading Economics had the Helsinki index up 0.19% and the Helsinki 25 up 0.41% on July 2.

Bending Spoons (NASDAQ:BSP) stock: AOL profit engine sits behind 40% Nasdaq debut

Bending Spoons (NASDAQ:BSP) stock: AOL profit engine sits behind 40% Nasdaq debut

Bending Spoons S.p.A. ordinary shares start their second public day with the stock still far above the IPO price and a valuation that puts an older web business at the center of the trade. The less-used line in the final prospectus is AOL: in 2025 historical-as-adjusted data, it supplied $333.6 million of operating income against $633.4 million of revenue, while final pro forma combined operating income was $508.8 million. At 7:05 a.m. EDT, before the regular U.S. session, WSJ quoted BSP at $39.3828, down 2.76% from Wednesday’s $40.50 close.

Robinhood (HOOD) Slides After $2 Billion Debt Move

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock rally puts Bitstamp, event-contract volumes under the microscope

Robinhood Markets, Inc. enters Thursday’s final U.S. stock session of the holiday-shortened week with a new problem for bulls: the share price has already paid for more than a crypto headline. The stock last stood at $108.65, up 8.35% from the prior close, with a market value of about $99.4 billion. Nasdaq 100 futures were down 0.5% early Thursday, with regular U.S. trading still ahead. The fresh angle is in the June operating data. Through June 25, Robinhood’s selected volumes had already topped May’s full-month totals in every disclosed trading bucket. Event contracts were the outlier, up about 33% versus May, while Bitstamp crypto volume rose far faster than Robinhood app crypto volume. That matters because the July 1 London product launch leaned heavily on DeFi, international crypto and derivatives, not just the U.S. brokerage app.

UiPath (NYSE:PATH) rally sticks as ARR focus moves weight to H2

UiPath (NYSE:PATH) rally sticks as ARR focus moves weight to H2

UiPath Inc. traded at about $11.55 ahead of Thursday’s open. That’s near MarketBeat’s $11.60 extended-hours quote from 6:31 a.m. EDT. Shares climbed 6.1% in the regular session Wednesday. The NYSE hadn’t started core hours yet; official trading goes from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, with Friday, July 3, set as the Independence Day observed holiday. The bigger challenge for investors isn’t the first-day stock reaction. It’s the renewal math. UiPath’s Q1 report put ARR at $1.901 billion as of April 30. Net new ARR for Q1 totaled $49 million. The company guided for July-quarter ARR between $1.929 billion and $1.934 billion, and sees fiscal 2027 ARR coming in between $2.058 billion and $2.063 billion. CEO Daniel Dines said the quarter was a “strong start,” pointing to agentic products shifting from pilot to production. Operating chief and CFO Ashim Gupta pointed to “operational discipline,” adding UiPath posted its first-ever GAAP profit for the first quarter.

Nike stock finds support on tariffs despite flat North America profit

Nike stock finds support on tariffs despite flat North America profit

NIKE, Inc. traded higher before the bell Thursday, adding to gains after Wednesday’s rebound ran with heavy volume. Investors shrugged off weak China numbers and bet on early signs of a turnaround. NIKE saw 80.2 million shares trade Wednesday, about triple its 65-day average. The S&P 500 slipped 0.22% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.66% that day, so the action in Nike stood out. Stock is up, but the numbers read a bit soft. Nike posted Q4 revenue of $10.97 billion, down 1%. EPS came in at $0.72, boosted by $0.52 from an expected IEEPA tariff recovery. Gross margin improved to 49.2%. Nike said the tariff recovery lifted that figure by about 900 basis points.

Intel Corporation goes into its July earnings priced more as a foundry and AI rebound play than as an earnings trade for the quarter. Intel shares finished Wednesday at $127.02, down 9.03%, trading around 110.8 million shares. The decline erased Tuesday’s 6.01% jump and put the stock 3.6% under Monday’s close, a smaller two-day move than the Wednesday fall alone. Historical data had Intel at $139.63 on June 30 and $127.02 on July 1.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX) faces short pressure ahead of Nasdaq-100 entry

Space Exploration Technologies Corp is in focus for a squeeze going into Thursday, and it’s drawing more eyes than the index-driven buying expected next week. As of Wednesday’s close, the projected Nasdaq-100 passive buy adds up to roughly 27 million shares. That covers just 14% of the current short interest. The stock is still trading about 17% above the $135 IPO price, but since the debut, most of the action is now around the float. Short interest hit 196 million shares, or roughly 31% of the free float, as of Tuesday, according to Ortex. That was up from 83 million shares, or 13%, just a week ago. “It’s extraordinary for a stock that has been public less than a month,” Ortex co-founder Peter Hillerberg said. He called the short trade a “roller coaster” for shorts.

Nasdaq under pressure with chip names lower; futures drift before jobs data

U.S. stock-index futures pointed to a mixed start Thursday. Dow and Russell 2000 futures edged up in early New York trading, but Nasdaq 100 futures slipped. Traders are watching for a jobs report that could shift rate hike bets ahead of a three-day break.

That left Nasdaq 100 futures 41 basis points below the Russell 2000 and 39 points under the Dow.

Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) shares surge $4.6 billion on AI deal before firm books licensing revenue

Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) shares surge $4.6 billion on AI deal before firm books licensing revenue

Reddit, Inc. heads into Thursday’s New York premarket with investors looking at the numbers: shares jumped 13.7% Wednesday, closing at $197.42. That move adds about $4.6 billion in equity value, based on MarketBeat’s listed $38.01 billion market cap. In its March-quarter filing, Reddit reported $120.6 million in performance obligations tied mostly to long-term content licensing contracts longer than a year. The gap matters as the stock is trading on future AI data renewal hopes, not what Reddit has already signed. If the new licensing deals don’t come in higher, investors are just getting a high-priced ad stock growing fast.
