Vertiv stock rebounds after Thursday slide as jobs data steadies rate-cut bets

Vertiv stock rebounds after Thursday slide as jobs data steadies rate-cut bets

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:12 EST — Regular session Shares of Vertiv Holdings Co rose 1.5% to $163.24 in afternoon trading on Friday, clawing back some ground after a sharp drop in the prior session. The data center power-and-cooling supplier fell 6.3% on Thursday, a swing that left the stock nursing losses after a tech-led pullback in U.S. equities ahead of the monthly jobs report. (Investing.com) That matters now because Vertiv trades like a rate-sensitive growth name: when investors lean toward interest-rate cuts, high-multiple infrastructure suppliers tend to catch a bid. Broader U.S. indexes were higher on Friday after

Why Abercrombie & Fitch stock is sliding today despite a UBS target hike

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:54 EST — Regular session Abercrombie & Fitch shares fell about 3.7% to $125.09 in afternoon trading on Friday, after swinging between $133.16 and $124.17. The drop came as investors digested a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report that pulled attention back to the health of the consumer — and the path for interest rates. “Hiring is still stuck in stall speed,” said Olu Sonola, head of U.S. economic research at Fitch Ratings, after payrolls rose 50,000 in December; the report also showed job losses in retail and left expectations intact for the Federal Reserve to hold

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 15:16 EST — Regular session Nebius Group N.V. shares were up 1.2% at $98.48 on Friday afternoon, paring earlier gains after the stock briefly climbed above $104. The Nasdaq-listed shares have ranged from $97.25 to $104.94 in the session. The move came as U.S. stocks pushed higher, with the S&P 500 hitting a record high as chipmakers led broad gains after a weaker-than-expected jobs report, Reuters reported. “On the overall AI theme, investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers in terms of sub-themes and individual names,” said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio

Scorpio Tankers stock slips as BofA downgrade revives “peak rates” debate

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:45 EST — Regular session Shares of Scorpio Tankers Inc fell about 2.3% on Friday after Bank of America Securities cut its rating on the product tanker operator, pointing to signs the freight market may be closer to a top. The stock was down $1.32 at $54.86 in afternoon trading. The call matters because tanker stocks can move fast when analysts start leaning the other way on day rates, which drive earnings for many shipping owners. Scorpio’s shares had climbed in recent sessions, leaving less room for disappointment when the next set of rate and

Broadcom gained 3.7% and Lam Research jumped 8% after Mizuho lifted its price target; “investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers in terms of sub-themes and individual names,” said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments.

New York, January 9, 2026, 14:44 EST — Regular session Constellation Energy Corp shares were up 5.6% at $340.51 in afternoon trading on Friday, extending a sharp rally in U.S. power producers as investors latched onto new long-term demand signals and a fresh bullish call on the stock. The move matters because the market is treating reliable generation — especially nuclear and flexible gas plants — as scarce again. Data centers and new industrial loads are pushing utilities and generators back into the spotlight, and investors are paying up for companies that can sign long-term contracts. Constellation sits in the

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 2:44 PM EST — Regular session Coca-Cola (KO) shares rose 1.4% to $70.33 in afternoon trading on Friday, pushing back above the $70 mark as investors leaned into consumer-staples names. The stock traded between $69.11 and $70.41 in the session. The move matters now because rate expectations are doing the work again. U.S. stocks pushed to a record high on Friday after a weaker jobs report, keeping the focus on whether the Federal Reserve can ease later this year without seeing inflation flare again. (Reuters) Nonfarm payrolls — the monthly count of jobs added outside

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:28 EST — Regular session Shares of Nasdaq-listed HealthEquity (HQY) fell 2.9% to $95.64 in afternoon trade on Friday after Goldman Sachs cut its rating to sell from neutral and set an $89 price target. The stock hit a session low of $92.97 before it pared some of the drop. (GuruFocus) The downgrade lands at a touchy moment for the name: the Goldman analyst argued 2026 may bring a “return to normalized patterns” where organic growth — growth without acquisitions — drives how investors price the stock. He also warned the valuation multiple, the price

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:40 (EST) — Regular session AST SpaceMobile shares rose 8.6% to $98.34 in Friday afternoon trading after Bank of America raised its price target on the space-based broadband company to $100 from $85 and kept a Neutral rating.
