Rivian stock slides after 2025 deliveries miss estimates; Feb. 12 earnings now the next test

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:57 ET — Market closed. Rivian Automotive Inc (RIVN.O) shares last closed at $19.41, down about 1.5%, after the electric-vehicle maker’s year-end delivery update landed short of Wall Street expectations. The stock traded between $18.90 and $20.70 in the session, with about 42.7 million shares changing hands. The delivery print matters because it lands as Rivian tries to defend demand for premium-priced models and line up a lower-cost launch in 2026. Rivian said it delivered 42,247 vehicles in 2025, down about 18% from a year earlier; analysts had expected 42,500, and fourth-quarter deliveries of 9,745

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:46 ET — Market closed. Archer Aviation Inc shares closed up 8.1% at $8.13 on Friday, the first U.S. trading session of 2026, after swinging sharply higher through the day.

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:32 ET — Market closed Amazon.com, Inc. shares last traded at $226.50, down 1.9% from the prior close, after slipping in the first trading session of 2026 on Friday.

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 04:58 ET — Market closed Denison Mines Corp (DNN) shares last closed up about 13% at $3.03 on Friday, their strongest one-day move in months, after the uranium developer flagged fresh progress toward starting construction at its Phoenix project.

Strategy Inc stock today: MSTR ends higher after preferred dividend reset as bitcoin swings stay in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 04:31 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares closed Friday up 3.5% at $157.16, after trading between $150.03 and $160.76.

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 04:24 ET — Market closed Shares of The Walt Disney Company (DIS) ended Friday down 1.7% at $111.85, in the first U.S. trading session of 2026.
