Eli Lilly stock (LLY) edges higher after hours today as drug-pricing reset and January catalysts loom

Eli Lilly stock (LLY) edges higher after hours today as drug-pricing reset and January catalysts loom

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 18:12 ET — After-hours Shares of Eli Lilly and Company rose about 0.5% in after-hours trading on Friday, last at $1,080.36. The stock swung between $1,052.96 and $1,080.49 during the regular session. The timing matters for drugmakers because early January is when many companies reset list prices — the sticker prices before rebates and discounts. Data from healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors showed manufacturers planned hikes on at least 350 branded medicines for 2026, with the median list-price increase around 4%, even as the Trump administration presses the industry for cuts.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 18:06 ET — After-hours Coinbase Global Inc shares were up about 4.6% at $236.53 in after-hours trading on Friday, after Chief Executive Brian Armstrong laid out a 2026 roadmap focused on expanding the company beyond its core crypto exchange business. The stock opened at $230.58 and traded between $226.03 and $238.47 during the session, with about 8.7 million shares changing hands.

CoreWeave stock jumps after-hours after SEC filing eases liquidity covenant

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:51 ET — After-hours CoreWeave shares rose in after-hours trading on Friday after the AI cloud provider disclosed amendments to a key credit agreement that loosen near-term covenant requirements, a filing showed. The stock was last up 10.8% at $79.32. The changes matter now because investors have been focused on how quickly heavily financed AI infrastructure companies can turn equipment deliveries into revenue and cash. Covenant tweaks can reduce the risk of a technical breach if project timing shifts. CoreWeave’s filing tied the amendment directly to delivery timing, underscoring that lenders — and shareholders —

Salesforce stock (CRM) drops 4% as 2026 opens; investors eye jobs report and next earnings

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:50 ET — After-hours Salesforce, Inc. shares were down 4.3% at $253.62 in after-hours trade on Friday, after moving between $252.49 and $267.00 during the session, according to market data. The slide put pressure on a large-cap software name that investors often use as a read on corporate IT budgets and the pace of enterprise adoption of new tools, including generative AI. It also mattered for the Dow, which is price-weighted — meaning higher-priced stocks have a bigger impact on the index than lower-priced ones.

Reuters The move matters because Boeing (BA.N) is one of the Dow’s most influential names, and a sharp swing in the stock can meaningfully shift the index’s daily point move. Friday’s jump helped the Dow snap a four-session losing streak even as the broader market finished mixed. Reuters It also lands as investors look for early-year signals after a

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:35 ET Shares of Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC fell 6.9% to $19.81 on Friday and swung between $23.29 and $19.67, after a regulatory disclosure highlighted a large new stake tied to a Geely-linked exit option. The disclosure matters because Polestar is leaning on fresh funding to shore up its balance sheet, and the terms attached to that capital can influence how investors value the stock.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:30 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc shares were up about 3.5% at $157.16 in after-hours trading on Friday, after a sharp session that ranged from $150.03 to $160.76.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:22 ET — After-hours Netflix shares were down 2.97% at $90.99 in after-hours trading on Friday, after falling through the regular session. The decline matters now because Netflix is leaning harder into live sports and advertising to drive growth, and investors are testing whether those bets can offset a choppy backdrop for high-valuation tech. Reuters It also lands as Treasury yields ticked up, a move that can pressure growth stocks by raising the discount rate investors use to value future profits. “Value is outperforming growth,” said Jed Ellerbroek, a portfolio manager at Argent Capital.
