CRISPR Therapeutics stock slides after CFO share-sale filing; JPM conference next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:11 EST — Regular session CRISPR Therapeutics AG shares slid on Friday, bucking a firmer broader market, after a regulatory filing flagged a chief financial officer’s share sale under a pre-arranged trading plan.

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

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 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.
