BellRing Brands stock slips as TD Cowen cuts target to $27; BRBR investors eye next catalyst

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:30 EST — Regular session BellRing Brands’ shares were down about 0.1% at $24.73 in late-morning trading after TD Cowen cut its 12-month price target to $27 from $31 and kept a Hold rating, meaning it does not see a clear case to buy at current levels. (MarketBeat) The call matters now because BellRing has been trading closer to its lows than its highs, leaving investors sensitive to any fresh valuation resets from Wall Street. The stock’s 52-week range runs from $22.45 to $80.67. (Nasdaq) TD Cowen analyst Robert Moskow framed the move as part

Walmart stock pops in regular trade after board adds Superhuman CEO as investors size up next catalysts

New York, January 9, 2026, 11:30 EST — Regular session Walmart Inc. stock rose about 1.4% to $114.60 on Friday morning, after the retailer added technology executive Shishir Mehrotra to its board as it sharpens its push into tech and e-commerce. Chairman Greg Penner said the company remains focused on a “people-led, tech-powered approach.” (Walmart News & Leadership) The move matters now because Walmart is leaning harder into services that can drive repeat traffic and stickier spending, even if shoppers stay cautious. This week it launched “Better Care Services,” a digital front door to third-party providers and other health offerings,

Mohawk Industries stock jumps again as housing-rate bets return after Trump mortgage-bond plan

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:27 ET — Regular session Mohawk Industries shares rose about 3% to around $117.7 in late morning trading on Friday, keeping the flooring maker on the front foot after a sharp rise the prior session. The stock has moved with the housing tape this week, as investors react to policy headlines and fresh data that can swing mortgage-rate expectations. For Mohawk, rates matter because big-ticket home projects tend to get delayed when borrowing costs stay high. U.S. job growth slowed in December and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%, data showed on Friday, reinforcing a

Lockheed Martin stock jumps on Trump defense budget boost, but buyback curbs hang over LMT

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:28 EST — Regular session Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) shares were up 4.5% at $541.92 in late morning trading on Friday. The bounce comes as investors digest a White House push to tighten the screws on the defense industry’s payouts while promising more money for weapons. Trump signed an executive order, “Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting,” that links executive pay, dividends and share buybacks to delivery schedules, and contractors have been calling lawyers about how it might be enforced, three sources told Reuters. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said the “days of defense contractors prioritizing

Gap stock pauses after UBS upgrade pop; investors focus on beauty, Athleta next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:35 EST — Regular session Gap Inc shares edged lower on Friday, giving back a sliver of the prior session’s gains after UBS turned more positive on the retailer’s turnaround and pushed the stock toward the top of its 52-week range. (https://www.fool.com/quote/nyse/gap/) The pullback did little to cool the bigger point: a single analyst note helped reframe Gap’s story as something more than a basics-and-discounts retailer. That matters now because the stock has been moving fast, and investors are trying to decide whether a breakout is real or just a post-upgrade trade. A lot of

New York, January 9, 2026, 11:02 EST — Regular session Applied Digital shares rose about 12% in morning trading on Friday, extending a post-results surge as investors focused on its hyperscaler lease pipeline for AI data centers. The stock was up $3.75 at $35.69 after touching $36.69, with about 36.6 million shares traded. The move keeps the small-cap data center builder on traders’ screens at a moment when markets are rewarding signed power and signed customers, not just capacity plans. Contracts drive the story, and the timing matters. In this business, megawatts are the headline — a measure of the

Novo Nordisk gets a fresh $73.50 target as Amazon starts selling the Wegovy pill

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:58 (EST) CICC initiated coverage on Novo Nordisk’s U.S.-listed American depositary receipt (ADR) — a U.S.-traded certificate that represents shares in a foreign company — with an outperform rating and a $73.50 price target, a Finwire report carried by MarketScreener showed on Friday. Novo’s Copenhagen-listed stock was up about 3%. (MarketScreener) The call lands as Novo tries to widen access to Wegovy in pill form, a key test for the maker of Ozempic after profit warnings and sliding shares last year. Investors have watched Eli Lilly pull ahead in the U.S. obesity market, and any

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

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

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
