Eli Lilly stock (LLY) slips as Ventyx deal, Zepbound arthritis data and TuneLab AI tie-up come into view

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:27 EST — Regular trading Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) shares were down about 0.4% at $1,081 in morning trade on Friday. The drugmaker said this week it will buy autoimmune developer Ventyx Biosciences for $1.2 billion in cash, bringing oral candidates for inflammatory bowel disease into its pipeline. The $14-a-share offer is slated to close in the first half of 2026, and Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Carter Gould described the price as “borderline immaterial” for Lilly. (Reuters) Lilly’s stock has been trading on the next act as much as the drugs it’s selling today. With

CompoSecure stock jumps after JPMorgan lands Apple Card deal, fueling metal-card hopes

CompoSecure stock jumps after JPMorgan lands Apple Card deal, fueling metal-card hopes

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 10:40 EST — Regular session CompoSecure shares rose about 6.4% to $22.79 in morning trade on Friday, riding a fresh wave of attention after JPMorgan Chase agreed to take over Apple’s credit-card program from Goldman Sachs. (reuters.com) That matters for CompoSecure because Apple Card is a rare U.S. card program where the physical card itself is part of the brand, and the issuer shift gives Chase room — at least on paper — to revisit suppliers and product features over time. Apple and Chase said the transition is expected to take about 24 months and

AST SpaceMobile stock rebounds, but Scotiabank’s Starlink warning keeps ASTS in play

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 10:51 EST AST SpaceMobile shares were up about 9% on Friday morning, finding their footing after a midweek drop triggered by a Scotiabank downgrade that pointed to rising pressure from SpaceX’s Starlink and raised doubts about the company’s valuation. The call matters now because the market is trying to price a business that has to spend heavily before it can sell much. In direct-to-cell, the first network to show it can deliver reliable coverage — and lock in carriers at scale — could wind up controlling the most profitable lanes. Direct-to-cell is satellite coverage that

Oracle stock jumps nearly 3% after soft US jobs data, but AI spending worries linger

Oracle stock jumps nearly 3% after soft US jobs data, but AI spending worries linger

New York, January 9, 2026, 11:00 (EST) — Regular session Oracle Corp shares rose nearly 3% on Friday, tracking a broader bounce in U.S. equities after a softer-than-expected jobs report eased pressure on rate-cut expectations. The stock was up 2.9% at $195.07, after trading as low as $188.91 earlier in the session. Wall Street’s main indexes edged higher after the Labor Department reported a 50,000 increase in December nonfarm payrolls, below economists’ 60,000 estimate, while the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%. Traders still penciled in about 54 basis points of easing this year — a basis point is 0.01 percentage

Intel stock jumps 6% as Trump praises CEO meeting, earnings loom

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:16 EST — Regular session Intel shares rose about 6% on Friday, lifting the stock toward its best levels of the week, after fresh attention on the chipmaker followed President Donald Trump’s comments about a meeting with CEO Lip-Bu Tan. The shares were up 6.1% at $43.62 in late-morning trade. The move matters because Intel’s stock has turned into a fast read on whether the company can prove it is back on track in manufacturing — the hard part of its turnaround — at a time when U.S. industrial policy and big capital spending are

Netflix stock slides below $90 as Goldman trims target and Warner bid fight drags on

Netflix stock slides below $90 as Goldman trims target and Warner bid fight drags on

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:05 EST — Regular session Netflix stock fell about 2% on Friday after Goldman Sachs lowered its price target, keeping pressure on a share price already down sharply since the last earnings report. Netflix was down $1.84 at $88.70 in late morning trade, after slipping below $90 and touching a session low of $88.33. (TipRanks) The timing matters because the stock has become a proxy for merger risk, not just streaming fundamentals. Paramount Skydance reiterated on Thursday that its $30-per-share offer for Warner Bros. Discovery tops Netflix’s $27.75-a-share cash-and-stock deal for Warner’s studios and streaming

TIC Solutions stock rises after JPMorgan starts coverage — what NYSE:TIC investors watch before Feb. 3

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:31 EST — Regular session Shares of TIC Solutions rose 4.8% to $11.40 in morning trading on Friday, after JPMorgan initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a $16 price target. The stock touched $11.66 and traded as low as $11.04. (TipRanks) The call matters because TIC is still being priced like an integration story, not a finished one. The company sells testing, inspection, certification and compliance — TICC, in industry shorthand — along with engineering services that clients often buy to meet safety rules and keep assets running. TIC Solutions completed a merger with

Applied Digital stock jumps again as hyperscaler talks and $2.35B financing keep APLD in play

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:16 EST — Regular session Applied Digital Corp shares rose about 11% to $35.38 on Friday, extending a post-earnings run for the AI data center developer as investors focused on new customer talks and the company’s funding stack. Broader U.S. equities were modestly higher. The move matters because Applied Digital is trying to turn signed power and lease commitments into operating capacity in a market where power, cooling and construction slots are tight. For traders, the question is less “AI demand” and more “how fast, how funded, and how concentrated.” Applied Digital has pitched itself

GDS Holdings stock slips after DayOne’s $2 billion raise — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:49 EST — Regular session Shares of GDS Holdings Limited (GDS.O) were down 1.9% at $40.95 in morning trade on Friday, trimming a rally that lifted the China-linked data center operator a day earlier. The stock closed up 8.6% on Thursday at $41.75. (Morningstar) The swing matters because investors have been treating GDS as a high-beta read on spending for new “hyperscale” data centers — huge sites built for cloud and AI computing — while watching how its overseas affiliate funds growth. DayOne Data Centers this week outlined a $2 billion-plus equity raise and expansion

JPMorgan stock today: Apple Card deal puts JPM in the spotlight as earnings near

New York, January 9, 2026, 11:03 EST — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares rose 0.4% to $331.12 on Friday after the bank agreed to replace Goldman Sachs as the issuer of Apple’s credit card, broadening its consumer lending footprint just ahead of earnings. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund was down about 0.1%, while the KBW Bank ETF was little changed. (Reuters) The agreement is expected to shift more than $20 billion of Apple Card balances to Chase once it closes, though the transition is expected to take roughly 24 months and remains subject to regulatory approvals, the

AeroVironment stock (AVAV) jumps as Trump’s defense-budget push keeps drone makers in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:05 ET — Regular session AeroVironment shares were up 4.9% at $362.02 in late morning trade, building on a broader rally in defense names after President Donald Trump proposed lifting the 2027 U.S. military budget to $1.5 trillion. The stock finished the prior session at $344.96. (AP News) It’s landing now with the White House pushing a larger budget pitch while leaning on contractors over how they spend cash.
