Uber stock slides nearly 3% as CES robotaxi push puts costs back in focus

Uber stock slides nearly 3% as CES robotaxi push puts costs back in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:42 (EST) — Regular session Uber Technologies Inc shares fell nearly 3% on Friday as CES-driven talk of driverless taxis stirred fresh debate over when the technology pays off at scale. The stock was down 2.8% at $85.16 in afternoon trade, after earlier slipping to $84.97. The move matters because Uber is one of the clearest public-market proxies for robotaxis — driverless taxi services — without betting on a single carmaker. Bigger autonomous fleets could mean more rides flowing through Uber’s app, but they also raise questions over who controls pricing and who captures the

PVH stock slips as Supreme Court tariff decision hangs over retailers — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:33 EST — Regular session PVH Corp shares fell 4.4% to $65.32 on Friday afternoon, extending a choppy week for the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger owner. The drop comes as investors wait on U.S. tariff policy, after the Supreme Court said it would not rule on the legality of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Friday and is expected to issue its next decisions on Jan. 14. (Reuters) That matters for import-heavy brands because tariff outcomes can swing costs quickly, while the broader market was leaning risk-on after a softer December U.S. jobs report

Dell Technologies stock rebounds as DELL snaps a four-day slide — what’s driving the move

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:31 EST — Regular session Dell Technologies shares were up 1.2% at $119.93 on Friday afternoon, after earlier touching $120 in the session. The uptick comes after a choppy stretch for the PC and server maker, with the stock down 1.31% on Thursday and marking a fourth straight session of losses, according to MarketWatch data. With the shares still well off their recent peak, investors have been looking for cleaner signals on whether Dell’s higher-end servers can cushion soft PC demand. (MarketWatch) The broader tape helped on Friday. U.S. stocks pushed higher after a weaker-than-expected

Salesforce stock slips as Spring ’26 AI release lands and traders weigh soft U.S. jobs data

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:19 (EST) — Regular session Salesforce shares edged down 0.2% to $260.01 in afternoon trading on Friday after the company laid out its Spring ’26 product release, set to begin rolling out from Feb. 23. A softer U.S. jobs report also nudged rate expectations back onto the table for growth stocks. Payrolls rose 50,000 in December versus forecasts of 60,000, and the unemployment rate eased to 4.4%, the Labor Department said. (Salesforce) Why it matters now: Salesforce sits in a part of the market where rates still call the shots. When bond yields move, software

MakeMyTrip stock slides 4.5% in U.S. trade as investors turn to Jan. 22 earnings

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:10 EST — Regular session MakeMyTrip Limited (MMYT.O) shares fell 4.5% to $78.78 in afternoon trading on Friday, after touching an intraday high of $83.42 and then sliding to as low as $78.37. The stock opened at $82.64 and had traded about 577,000 shares by mid-session. The drop puts the stock on course for its weakest close since early January and comes with MakeMyTrip heading into its next quarterly update later this month. Nasdaq’s market activity page lists an earnings date of Jan. 22, though the company has not posted a fresh press release on

Lululemon stock sinks nearly 5% as Supreme Court tariff ruling slips, keeping retailers on edge

New York, January 9, 2026, 13:57 EST — Regular session lululemon athletica inc shares dropped 4.9% to $201.88 on Friday and sank to a session low of $201.40 in afternoon trade, after the U.S. Supreme Court said it would not issue an expected ruling on the legality of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs. (Reuters) The delay is important because the case has turned into a live macro trade for import-heavy companies, with investors scanning for any hint of relief from duties that have squeezed margins. Any rollback could also set off a round of refunds to importers, and BNY Markets’
Carvana stock rebounds after Morgan Stanley lifts bull case; filing shows insider sale plan

Carvana stock rebounds after Morgan Stanley lifts bull case; filing shows insider sale plan

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 14:32 EST — Regular session Carvana Co. shares climbed about 2.6% on Friday, trading at $453.95 in afternoon dealings, after a Morgan Stanley analyst lifted the firm’s bull-case view on the online used-car retailer. (TipRanks) The move matters because Carvana has been a fast trader’s stock, prone to sharp swings on analyst notes and insider-trading headlines. Even small filings can move it when positioning is crowded and the stock’s direction ties closely to rates and risk appetite. Friday’s broader tape helped. A softer-than-expected U.S. jobs report kept hopes alive that the Federal Reserve could cut

WD-40 stock slides 6% after Q1 profit falls; guidance held and Asia rebound in focus

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 14:00 ET — Regular session WD-40 Company shares fell 5.6% to $192.13 on Friday afternoon, after the lubricant maker posted a drop in first-quarter profit and higher expenses. The stock was down as much as nearly 14% earlier in the session. The move matters because WD-40 tends to trade like a steady compounder. When profit slips, the market usually asks if it’s just timing — or something that sticks. Management put the soft patch on distributor markets, where the company sells through third-party partners, and said direct markets kept growing. Investors are now looking for

Atour Lifestyle (ATAT) stock slides about 4% in U.S. trade as rate bets shift, CPI looms

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:24 EST — Regular session Atour Lifestyle Holdings’ U.S.-listed shares slid 4.2% to $40.20 in early afternoon trading on Friday, after moving between $39.85 and $42.02. Trading volume was about 894,000 shares. The decline comes as Wall Street digests fresh U.S. data that nudged rate-cut odds lower, while investors also track the legal fight over President Donald Trump’s tariffs. “Payrolls were a little bit light relative to consensus, but still fairly strong numbers,” Tim Ghriskey, a senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder, said. (Reuters) The Labor Department reported nonfarm payrolls rose by 50,000 jobs

New York, January 9, 2026, 14:10 EST — Regular session Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX.O) gained 5.4% to $299.92 in afternoon trade, bouncing back from a steep slide the prior day and moving higher alongside storage peers. Western Digital (WDC.O) added 4.3%. Goldman Sachs raised its price target on Seagate to $310 from $280 and reiterated a Buy rating, citing bullish 2026 pricing forecasts. (TipRanks) Why it matters now: Seagate is heading into the stretch of the quarter when investors tend to square positions ahead of results and guidance. The company has not confirmed a date for its next report,

Kohl’s stock slides 5% as tariff ruling delay hits retailers; KSS traders eye Jan. 14

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:11 EST — Regular session Kohl’s Corp (KSS) shares were off roughly 5.1% at $20.66 Friday afternoon, after a choppy session that ran from $22.27 down to $20.43. The department-store operator opened at $22.00. The stock trailed even as the broader market found its footing after a softer U.S. jobs report. The U.S. Supreme Court said it would not issue a ruling on Friday on the legality of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, leaving investors still waiting on clarity around duties that can shift costs for import-heavy retailers.

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas price drops 6% in midday trade

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:52 EST — Regular session EQT Corp shares fell about 2.4% to $50.96 in afternoon trading, tracking a fresh leg down in U.S. natural gas prices. Front-month Henry Hub natural gas futures for February were down 6.1% at $3.198 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a common unit used to price gas. (Investing.com South Africa) The moves matter because producers’ realised prices and cash flow are tied, directly or not, to the futures curve. In winter, weather models can flip demand in a hurry, and equities tend to follow the screen even when company news

Trump told NBC he is considering $2,000 tariff rebate checks but has not committed, saying any payout would likely come later in 2026. The IRS warns taxpayers to ignore texts and emails about “stimulus payments” and verify notices through official channels.
