Quanta Services Stock Climbs as AI Power Demand Keeps PWR in Focus

Quanta Services Stock Climbs as AI Power Demand Keeps PWR in Focus

Quanta Services, Inc. shares ended the week with a strong rebound, closing Friday at $707.74, up $24.45, or 3.58%, as investors continued to price the infrastructure contractor as a major beneficiary of rising electricity demand tied to data centers and artificial intelligence. The move outpaced the S&P 500 ETF, Nasdaq-100 ETF and Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF, which each rose about 0.6% in the same session. The latest spark came from renewed attention on Quanta’s AI-linked power-infrastructure story. A fresh Barron’s report said Quanta remains well positioned because Big Tech’s AI spending is expected to require more data centers, grid upgrades and power infrastructure. Barron’s also cited Quanta’s record $48.5 billion backlog and noted that the stock trades at about 42 times next year’s earnings, meaning investors are paying 42 dollars for each dollar of expected future profit.

3M trades around $158 with dividend out, analysts split on call

3M trades around $158 with dividend out, analysts split on call

3M Company finished the week higher, last trading at $158.32, up $0.41. About 4.58 million shares were traded. The stock’s move was positive, but it didn’t keep up with the S&P 500, which added 0.50%, or the Dow, which gained 0.70% Friday. 3M underperformed the main indexes even as most big U.S. stocks rallied. 3M’s lackluster stock move stands out, with the company trading in a range where the turnaround pitch isn’t front and center for buyers. Google Finance puts 3M’s market cap at $82.57 billion and shows a P/E ratio of 30.54. That ratio tracks the share price against earnings per share, a common way to measure what investors pay for profits now. The stock’s 52-week high is $177.41 and the low is $139.34, so shares sit nearer the upper end of that band.

KLA Jumps After 10-for-1 Stock Split; AI Chip Boom Lifts Hopes on Tools

KLA Jumps After 10-for-1 Stock Split; AI Chip Boom Lifts Hopes on Tools

KLA Corporation finished Friday at $254.54, gaining 5.55%. Shares started at $237.60 and hit a session high of $254.93. The stock, which is in the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500, has surged about 19% in two days after its split adjustment. The rally comes as investors reprice chip-equipment makers linked to AI demand. Stocks go up when buyers pay more for future earnings, cash flow or growth, and fall when those expectations drop or valuations get too high. KLA’s 10-for-1 stock split took effect at the open on June 12, with each existing share turning into 10 new shares. The company said the total value of any investor's position should stay the same. KLA said the split doesn’t change its total market cap or the percentage of the company that investors own. “This stock split is intended to improve the accessibility and liquidity of KLA shares, while maintaining consistency with our long-term capital allocation strategy,” CFO Bren Higgins said.

Pfizer trades around $26 with dividend in focus, drug-price worries linger

Pfizer trades around $26 with dividend in focus, drug-price worries linger

Pfizer Inc. closed Friday at $26.21, up 4 cents. About 38.77 million shares changed hands. Market cap came in near $149.38 billion. Gains were small against the major indexes. The S&P 500 added 0.5%, Dow rose 0.7%, and Nasdaq was up 0.3%. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF dropped 0.18%. Pfizer still outperformed its sector benchmark. Drug pricing in Europe is back in focus for investors. Germany’s health minister, Nina Warken, said drug companies won’t be left out of upcoming cost cuts, telling reporters, “Every sector must play its part in this reform.” That comment came after a Reuters story said Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told Chancellor Friedrich Merz the company is “reviewing our external engagements as well as the timing, scope and future prioritization” of some planned investments in Germany. For stocks, the story is simple: shares go up on hopes for better profits or less risk, and drop when rules, failed trials, or weaker pricing hit cash flow.

Celsius Stock Rebounds as Bernstein Turns Bullish, but Alani Nu Risks Keep CELH Volatile

Celsius Stock Rebounds as Bernstein Turns Bullish, but Alani Nu Risks Keep CELH Volatile

Celsius Holdings, Inc. shares ended Friday at $29.18, up $0.79 from the previous close, with volume of about 9.27 million shares and a market value near $7.58 billion. The move followed a new bullish call from Bernstein SocGen, where analyst Cristian Rios initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and a $44 price target; a price target is an analyst’s estimate of where a stock could trade over the next 12 months, not a guarantee. The stock rose because investors had a fresh reason to revisit the growth story after months of pressure. Stocks usually rise when buyers believe new information improves expected future earnings or lowers perceived risk; they fall when growth slows, margins weaken, legal risk increases, or investors decide the valuation is too high. In Celsius’s case, the latest bull argument is that the company has shifted from a single-brand energy-drink story into a broader portfolio built around CELSIUS, Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy, with Bernstein’s call highlighting Alani Nu as a potential offset to softer core-brand momentum.

NextEra Energy Stock Up as Traders Watch Dominion Bid, AI Demand

NextEra Energy Stock Up as Traders Watch Dominion Bid, AI Demand

NextEra Energy, Inc. closed up 1.36% at $85.99 Friday, logging about 10 million shares in volume, just under its 50-day average. The stock outpaced the market and most utility names. Still, NEE remains well below its May 1 high of $98.75, showing buyers are still picky even as utilities attract some attention. NextEra isn’t just trading on its Florida utility and renewables story anymore. After the last close, market cap sat at around $179.3 billion. Shares changed hands at about 21.8 times earnings. The P/E shows what investors pay for one dollar of profit. That’s not a stressed multiple. Any move higher probably hinges on investor views of earnings growth, power demand, and the Dominion deal.

Johnson & Johnson Shares Drop Friday, Week Ahead in Focus

J&J Stock Trades Near Highs With Talvey Data Bringing Pipeline Into View

Johnson & Johnson finished Friday at $240.87, up 1.07%. The stock outperformed other big healthcare names as the S&P 500 added 0.50% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.70%. The Dow, being price-weighted, gives more influence to higher-priced stocks like J&J. S&P Dow Jones Indices calls the Dow a gauge of 30 U.S. blue-chip companies. Johnson & Johnson on Saturday posted new Phase 3 MonumenTAL-3 data for its combination of Talvey and Darzalex Faspro, with or without pomalidomide, in patients with earlier-line relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. According to the company, the combos slashed the risk of disease progression or death by as much as 72%, and cut risk of death by up to 53% compared to standard Darzalex Faspro, pomalidomide and dexamethasone treatment. Progression-free survival hit 81.3% at 24 months, while standard care stood at 51.2%. Overall survival was 89.2%, up from 79.1% for standard care.

Disney Shares Edge Down With Focus on Toy Story 5, Parks and Q3 Results

Disney Shares Edge Down With Focus on Toy Story 5, Parks and Q3 Results

Disney slipped 0.31% to close at $100.04 on Friday, trading as low as $99.55 and as high as $101.77. The stock ended lower for the week, even as major indexes managed gains. The S&P 500 rose 0.5%, the Dow added 0.7%, and the Nasdaq was up 0.3% on June 12. Disney trailed the market, and that gap may signal investors want stronger signs the company can deliver on its guidance and expectations from analysts. Analyst sentiment is still positive. According to Benzinga’s analyst page, Needham kept its Buy call on Disney on June 12 and set a $125 price target, about 25% higher than Disney’s Friday close. Benzinga showed a wider consensus price target of $129.21 from 24 analysts. The latest three ratings—Needham, Rosenblatt and Citigroup—averaged $132.

P&G Shares Edge Up After Bernstein Starts Coverage, Sets $156 Target

Procter & Gamble closed out the week at $149.61, gaining 0.86% on the day. Shares ticked up to $149.70 after hours. U.S. stocks ended higher Friday, with the S&P 500 advancing 0.50% and the Dow up 0.70%. Defensive consumer-staples like Procter & Gamble joined the market move. Bernstein SocGen Group started coverage on P&G, giving the stock a Market Perform rating and setting a $156 price target. That target sits only around 4% above where P&G closed Friday. The move casts the stock’s recent bounce as less of a rerating and more about valuation controls. Bernstein is looking for low single-digit organic sales growth—excluding FX, deals and spinoffs—driven by Beauty, but warns about rising private-label pressure in bathroom tissue and tighter diaper competition from smaller brands.

FINRA hits Merrill Lynch with $225,000 fine for 1,600 missed customer complaints

FINRA hits Merrill Lynch with $225,000 fine for 1,600 missed customer complaints

New York, June 13, 2026, 14:05 EDT. FINRA fined Merrill Lynch $225,000 after the firm failed to properly report more than 1,600 customer complaints. Merrill Lynch will pay a $225,000 fine and take a censure, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, after FINRA said the firm did not correctly track or report customer complaints made in call-center surveys. The settlement, under case No. 2024081776401, covers the period from January 2018 to December 2023, with FINRA posting the action as of June 11.

Starbucks Stock Price Nears 52-Week High as Turnaround Rally Faces a Valuation Test

Starbucks Stock Price Nears 52-Week High as Turnaround Rally Faces a Valuation Test

Starbucks Corporation’s Nasdaq-listed shares ended the week with fresh momentum, closing Friday at $103.04, up $0.76, or 0.74%, before slipping to $102.62 in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance market data. The move left the stock roughly 5% below its 52-week high of $108.88, with a market value of about $117.4 billion and a trailing price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E ratio, of 78.64; P/E measures how much investors are paying for each dollar of a company’s past earnings. The latest price action matters because Starbucks is no longer trading like a deeply out-of-favor turnaround story. Friday’s gain followed a stronger Thursday session, when market data cited by MarketWatch showed Starbucks rising 3.56%, and investors now appear to be pricing in meaningful progress under CEO Brian Niccol’s “Back to Starbucks” plan. That raises the bar for the next earnings update: a stock near a one-year high can keep climbing if sales and margins improve together, but it can also fall quickly if the recovery looks uneven.

Rivian Stock Surges as R2 Launch Puts RIVN Turnaround on the Line

Rivian Stock Surges as R2 Launch Puts RIVN Turnaround on the Line

Rivian Automotive stock ended the week with a sharp rebound, closing at $16.76 on Friday, up 7.85%, with intraday trading between $15.44 and $16.785 and volume of about 31.9 million shares. The move came after a busy launch week for Rivian’s new R2 SUV, the vehicle investors are watching most closely because it is designed to move the company beyond its higher-priced R1 lineup and into a broader electric-SUV market. The near-term story is simple but high stakes: Rivian has begun public customer deliveries of the R2, and the first version being delivered is the R2 Performance with Launch Package, starting at $57,990, according to Rivian’s own launch update. Rivian said deliveries, order invitations and demo drives began June 9, while Business Insider reported Friday that only the Performance version is being delivered now, with the $53,990 Premium expected later this year and the $44,990 Standard version starting in 2027.

Annaly Capital Still Around $22 After Dividend Boost; Fed Rate Call Next

Annaly Capital Management, Inc. shares barely moved, last going for $22.00, down $0.02. Around 6.05 million shares traded hands. The iShares Mortgage Real Estate ETF added 0.27%. Vanguard Real Estate ETF was up 0.93%. Investors seemed to take in stride Annaly’s dividend update and watched for interest-rate news that could affect mortgage REITs. The company’s board bumped up its second-quarter common stock dividend to $0.75 per share from $0.70, with payment set for July 31 to shareholders on record as of June 30. The ex-dividend date is also June 30. With shares last at $22.00, the new payout comes out to $3.00 a year, or about a 13.6% yield. CEO and Co-CIO David Finkelstein said the boost shows “the strong performance of Annaly’s diversified housing finance portfolio.”

S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow log gains with Fed meeting ahead

Stocks bounced to finish the week stronger, with investors weighing lower oil prices, steady demand for tech and other growth names, and a pickup in inflation worries. The S&P 500 added 37.16 points, or 0.5%, Friday, ending at 7,431.46. The Dow climbed 353.51 points, or 0.7%, to 51,202.26. The Nasdaq was up 79.18 points, or 0.3%, at 25,888.84. For the week, the S&P 500 rose 0.6%, Dow up 0.7%, Nasdaq up 0.7%, and the Russell 2000 outperformed with a 3.9% jump. Weekly gains signaled buyers stepped in on the dips, even with messy inflation numbers clouding the rate story. Brent crude tumbled 3.4% Friday, dragging energy price worries lower and giving relief to margins. SpaceX soared 19.2% in its first Wall Street session, bringing out another headline IPO for traders.

PayPal Stock Near $41 as July Earnings Loom After Market Rally

PayPal Stock Near $41 as July Earnings Loom After Market Rally

PayPal Holdings, Inc. shares edged higher on Friday, with PYPL closing at $41.53, up 0.7%, according to the company’s stock information page. The move came in a firmer market: the S&P 500 rose 0.5%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.3%, according to AP’s market recap. MarketWatch’s payments-sector roundup also showed PayPal rising alongside peers including Fidelity National Information Services and Fiserv. The stock move matters because PayPal remains priced like a turnaround rather than a growth leader. PYPL recently traded near $41, not far above its 52-week low of $38.46 and far below its 52-week high of $79.50, while its price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E ratio — the share price divided by earnings per share — is about 7.8. A low P/E can signal value, but it can also mean investors doubt future earnings quality or growth durability.
