Coca-Cola stock closes higher; what could move KO next week

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 05:10 (EST) — Market closed Coca-Cola shares closed Friday up 1.6%, finishing at $70.51. After a rocky start to 2026, the stock heads into the weekend with a modest boost. As U.S. markets reopen Monday, traders are shifting focus from Friday’s close to the upcoming week’s inflation and consumer-demand reports. (Yahoo Finance) This is key since Coca-Cola occupies the consumer staples sector, which investors frequently view as a “bond proxy” — reliable cash flows and dividends paired with a sensitivity to Treasury yields. When inflation data shifts rate expectations, staples stocks can react even without

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 05:08 EST — Market closed ServiceNow shares dropped 3% on Friday, ending the day at $141.80 and marking a second consecutive decline despite gains in U.S. indexes.

Trade Desk stock: Stifel calls TTD a top ad-tech pick as CPI week looms

New York, January 11, 2026, 05:24 EST — The market has closed. The Trade Desk shares closed Friday at $37.29, showing little movement as investors braced for a week packed with macroeconomic events. The ad-tech stock remains in search of a stable footing after a tough run. Stifel stuck with a Buy rating and named The Trade Desk its top pick in ad tech. Analyst Mark Kelley said that as election-cycle impacts wane, the comparisons “should start to look significantly better in 2Q and beyond.” (Investing.com) This matters because digital advertising stocks often act as a proxy for growth sentiment

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 05:03 EST — Market closed. Arista Networks shares ended Friday at $122.89, slipping 0.7% to cap off a tough week for the data-center networking firm. (Yahoo Finance) The stock dropped roughly 10% since Monday’s close, with investors pulling back from several AI-adjacent infrastructure plays after their strong gains through late 2025. (Investing.com) Why it matters now: Arista serves as a clear barometer for cloud and “hyperscaler” data-center spending, where shifts in budgets can rapidly influence markets. Signs that orders are delayed or accelerated usually ripple through networking gear stocks without delay. The decline comes amid

RTX Corporation stock faces Trump payout clampdown as investors brace for Monday trade

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 04:50 ET — Market closed. Shares of RTX (RTX.N) rose 0.7% to close at $188.50 on Friday. Investors now face a White House directive aimed at curbing dividends and stock buybacks by major defense contractors. (The White House) Timing is crucial here since capital returns drive why many investors stick with defense stocks, especially when procurement cycles get uneven. If payout rules begin to depend on delivery scorecards, boards could face pressure to adjust buyback schedules, bonus structures, and even bidding strategies. Defense contractors have reached out to legal counsel over the enforceability and potential

Haleon PLC stock: HLN slips on India leadership move as earnings loom

Haleon PLC stock: HLN slips on India leadership move as earnings loom

London, Jan 11, 2026, 09:53 GMT — Market closed Haleon PLC shares slipped 1.2% to 367.5 pence on Friday after the consumer health group named Kedar Lele to lead its India Subcontinent operations and join its senior leadership. (MarketScreener) The reason this matters now is straightforward. India’s market for everyday health brands moves quickly, shifting based on distribution, pricing discipline, and the intensity of new product launches. This lull in company news is typical. With earnings still weeks off, investors zero in on management changes, hunting for clues about future focus and spending. Haleon’s leadership team lists Lele as a

London, Jan 11, 2026, 09:45 GMT — Market closed. Experian (EXPN.L) shares climbed 2.1% on Friday, ending at 3,478 pence and outpacing gains in the FTSE 100 during a session cut short by the weekend closure of London markets. Despite the jump, the stock remains roughly 15% below its 52-week peak, with trading volume notably lighter than usual. (MarketWatch) With the market closed, fresh tape is scarce. Investors are focusing squarely on the dividend schedule and upcoming company updates instead of new disclosures. Experian announced its first interim dividend at 21.25 U.S. cents per share, scheduled for payment on Feb.

London, Jan 11, 2026, 09:38 GMT — Market closed. Imperial Brands PLC (IMB.L) shares slipped 0.3% to 3,011 pence at Friday’s close, even as the tobacco group kept buying back stock under its ongoing programme. (Yahoo Finance) The move was small, but it speaks to the trade in this name right now: cash returns. Buybacks and dividends do most of the heavy lifting while investors judge whether Imperial can keep growing its newer nicotine products without losing its grip on cigarettes.
