Baidu stock slides as Kunlunxin Hong Kong IPO plan shifts focus to timing, approvals

Baidu stock slides as Kunlunxin Hong Kong IPO plan shifts focus to timing, approvals

New York, January 5, 2026, 09:52 EST — Regular session Baidu’s U.S.-listed shares (BIDU) fell 3.7% to $144.75 in morning trading on Monday, retreating from Friday’s close of $150.30 as investors took profits after last week’s surge. The move matters now because the trade has shifted from the headline to the hard parts: how quickly Baidu can turn a filing into an offering, and what valuation the market will put on the chip unit. A spin-off is the separate listing of a business, and it can reset how investors value the parent company. Baidu said its artificial intelligence chip unit,

Eli Lilly stock slides as Novo’s Wegovy pill hits U.S. shelves and stokes obesity-drug pricing fears

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:58 (ET) — Regular session Eli Lilly and Company shares fell about 3.4% on Monday, extending early losses after rival Novo Nordisk began selling a pill version of its Wegovy weight-loss drug in the United States. The stock was down at $1,043.14 after dipping nearly 4% earlier in the session. The move puts the spotlight back on pricing power in obesity drugs, a market that has helped lift Lilly’s valuation and that investors treat as a multi-year growth engine. Novo said its once-daily Wegovy pill will start at $149 a month for self-paying patients, with

CleanSpark stock jumps 7% as bitcoin rallies; miners rise with February earnings in view

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:00 EST — Regular session CleanSpark Inc shares rose about 7% on Monday, tracking a rally in bitcoin and a broader lift in U.S.-listed crypto miners. The stock was up at $12.37 in late morning trade. The move matters now because bitcoin miners’ cash generation is tightly linked to the token’s price: higher prices typically mean richer block rewards in dollar terms. Bitcoin was up 2.8% at roughly $93,862, helping buoy sentiment across the group. Mining investors are also watching signs that competition may be easing. JPMorgan analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce wrote the

Robinhood stock jumps nearly 5% as bitcoin tops $93,000; traders eye Feb. 10 results

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:58 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD.O) rose 4.7% to $120.60 in morning trading on Monday, riding a broad bid for crypto-linked stocks as bitcoin pushed higher. The move matters because Robinhood’s revenue is tied to customer activity, including crypto trading and options. When crypto prices swing, traders often expect shifts in “transaction-based” revenue — the money the company earns from customer trades and related activity. The broader market tone also turned more supportive for risk assets, with investors focused on whether large-cap tech can regain traction after a choppy end

Sandisk stock rises as AI memory shortage talk lifts SNDK; earnings date looms

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:51 (EST) — Regular session Sandisk Corp shares rose 1.4% to $279.00 in morning trading on Monday, as investors returned to memory and storage names tied to artificial intelligence data-center spending. The stock has traded between $266.73 and $288.95, with about 4.8 million shares changing hands. The move matters because memory chips sit at the heart of the AI buildout, and tight supply typically translates into higher contract prices and fatter margins for suppliers. Traders have been buying the group on the view that data-center demand is absorbing capacity faster than manufacturers can add it.

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:02 EST — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co. shares climbed about 3.4% to $336.70 in late morning trade on Monday, after swinging between $323.56 and $336.70 earlier in the session. The stock closed Friday at $325.48. The gains came as Wall Street’s main indexes rallied after a U.S. military strike that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, sending energy and financial stocks higher. “With the markets taking geopolitics in stride so far, the first trading week of the New Year may likely revolve around whether tech will find its footing,” Chris Larkin, managing director for

Strategy Inc (MSTR) stock jumps after fresh bitcoin buy, flags $17.4 billion Q4 paper loss

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:55 (ET) — Regular session Shares of Strategy Inc were up 5.5% at $165.84 on Monday after the company disclosed fresh bitcoin purchases and a preliminary fourth-quarter mark-to-market hit on its digital assets. SEC The update matters because Strategy has become one of Wall Street’s most liquid proxies for bitcoin, with the stock often amplifying moves in the cryptocurrency. The company has regularly raised cash by selling securities to add to its bitcoin holdings, putting its financing pace and potential dilution in focus for equity investors.

Oracle stock holds steady after Jefferies sticks with $400 target as Wall Street eyes jobs data

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:56 (EST) — Regular session Oracle Corp (ORCL) shares were little changed on Monday after Jefferies reiterated a buy rating and kept a $400 price target on the cloud software company.

GameStop stock (GME) near 52-week low sparks ‘Roaring Kitty’ chatter and a fresh valuation fight

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:46 EST GameStop shares slipped about 1% to $20.42 in late-morning trading on Monday, as the meme stock returned to the top of Stocktwits’ trending list on speculation that influencer Keith Gill, known online as “Roaring Kitty,” might resurface. Stocktwits said it saw no clear catalyst for the renewed interest and its sentiment gauge for the ticker remained bearish.

Fresh SEC filings show two big investors boosted Suncor Energy stock — and why it matters now

Calgary, Alberta, Jan 5, 2026, 08:41 MST Two asset managers increased their stakes in Suncor Energy Inc in the third quarter, regulatory filings showed, adding to a wave of institutional positioning in the Canadian oil producer’s U.S.-listed shares. The disclosures land as investors start the year re-checking energy exposure after a volatile 2025 for crude prices and as oil market forecasts turn more cautious. For Suncor, steady dividends and buybacks have become a central part of the equity story, particularly for funds looking for cash returns rather than pure oil-price upside. The filings also arrive amid renewed focus on supply

ASML stock just hit another record after Bernstein’s upgrade puts AI memory spending in the spotlight

AMSTERDAM, Jan 5, 2026, 16:32 CET ASML shares touched a new record on Monday after Bernstein upgraded the Dutch chipmaking equipment maker, pushing its price target sharply higher and extending a run that has turned the stock into one of Europe’s standout technology winners. The upgrade matters now because the next leg of the AI buildout is shifting from compute to memory and manufacturing capacity, raising the stakes for the companies that sell the tools chipmakers need to expand. For ASML, that link is direct. When chipmakers increase capital spending to make more advanced logic chips and higher-end server memory,
