Asana stock slides 5% to start 2026 — downgrade and key dates that could move ASAN next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 13:41 ET — Market closed. Asana, Inc. (ASAN) shares fell about 5.4% on Friday to $12.96, finishing near the session low after trading between $12.92 and $13.84. Research outlet Wall Street Zen downgraded the stock to “hold” from “buy” on Saturday, MarketBeat reported. MarketBeat The slide leaves Asana heading into Monday’s reopen with investors focused on whether 2026 brings more rate relief or a longer pause. Philadelphia Fed President Anna Paulson said on Saturday that another U.S. rate cut could take a while, after the Fed lowered rates by 75 basis points in 2025, Reuters

Cloud computing stocks slide into 2026 as yields rise — what CLOU ETF investors watch next

Cloud computing stocks slide into 2026 as yields rise — what CLOU ETF investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 13:43 ET — Market closed The Global X Cloud Computing ETF fell 2.34% on Friday to $22.09, ending the first U.S. trading session of 2026 on the back foot as investors trimmed rate-sensitive cloud software exposure. Global X ETFs The timing matters because cloud stocks have become a crowded way to express bets on corporate digital spending and AI-linked demand, but they tend to wobble when bond yields rise. On Friday, U.S. stocks finished mixed with the Nasdaq edging lower as megacap tech weighed, while Treasury yields climbed. Reuters Policy expectations are also moving. Philadelphia

ZoomInfo stock slides 5.5% — key levels and the next dates investors are watching

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:41 ET — Market closed ZoomInfo Technologies Inc (GTM.O) shares closed down 5.5% on Friday at $9.61, setting the software and data company up for a cautious start to the new week when U.S. markets reopen on Monday. The selloff pushed the stock below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages — common charting gauges that smooth daily price swings — at about $10.23 and $10.45, MarketBeat data showed. The same dataset put ZoomInfo’s consensus analyst rating at “Hold” with an average price target of roughly $11.79, leaving shares about 18% below that level after Friday’s

Nike stock (NKE) heads into Monday after Friday dip as insiders and jobs data loom

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:45 ET — Market closed Nike, Inc. shares slipped in the first trading session of 2026, closing Friday down 0.67% at $63.28. The stock traded between $62.55 and $64.13, with about 22.2 million shares changing hands. StockAnalysis That matters now because Nike is trying to stabilize a multi-quarter reset while investors look for early proof the turnaround is working. In its last quarterly report, Nike said gross margin fell 300 basis points — three percentage points — to 40.6%, and Nike Direct revenue declined as digital sales dropped 14%.

Barclays upgrades Vertiv and this data center stock jumps 8% — what traders watch next

Barclays upgrades Vertiv and this data center stock jumps 8% — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:25 ET — Market closed Vertiv Holdings (VRT.N), a supplier of power and cooling equipment used in data centers, closed Friday up 8.4% after Barclays upgraded the stock to overweight, meaning it expects the shares to outperform. “The recent volatility in the stock has created an attractive entry point,” Barclays analyst Julian Mitchell wrote. Barron’s The call matters now because investors are re-pricing “picks-and-shovels” beneficiaries of data-center buildouts heading into 2026, after a choppy finish to the year for high-multiple industrial tech suppliers. A single upgrade can have an outsized impact when positioning is crowded

Palantir (PLTR) stock slides 5.6% as insider sale notice surfaces — what to watch next week

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:28 ET — Market closed Palantir Technologies Inc shares closed down about 5.6% on Friday at $167.86, their first session of 2026, after swinging from an early high near $183 to a low around $166. Why this matters now: the selloff leaves Palantir starting the week under a spotlight as investors return from the holidays and reassess risk in high-growth software names alongside a heavy macro calendar. “The market is looking for direction,” said Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, as traders eye whether stocks break out of recent ranges.

Northrop Grumman stock ends 2026’s first session higher — what could move space and defense shares next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:22 ET — Market closed Northrop Grumman shares closed up 2.7% on Friday, the first trading day of 2026, as space and defense stocks tracked a firmer tone in industrials and broader “buy-the-dip” positioning. Marketwatch Why it matters now: defense contractors often trade on a mix of budget expectations, geopolitical headlines and interest-rate outlooks, and that mix is shifting into the first full week of the new year. Reuters’ “week ahead” agenda points to Venezuela developments and a heavy U.S. data calendar as potential volatility triggers when trading resumes Monday. Reuters The timing also matters

Frontline (FRO) stock slides 5.7% as tanker traders digest OPEC+ output decision ahead of Monday

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 1:18 PM ET — Market closed Frontline plc shares fell 5.7% on Friday to $20.58, leading declines among U.S.-listed crude tanker stocks into the weekend. DHT Holdings dropped 4.0%, Teekay Tankers lost 3.7% and International Seaways slid 3.2%. The sector heads into the first full week of 2026 with fresh signals from oil producers.

USA Rare Earth stock jumps 19% to start 2026 — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:10 ET — Market closed Shares of USA Rare Earth (USAR) jumped 18.9% on Friday, the first trading session of 2026, to close at $14.15. U.S. markets were closed on Sunday, leaving the move to be digested ahead of Monday’s reopen. The rally matters because rare earths — a group of 17 metals used to make powerful permanent magnets — sit at the center of the U.S. push to build domestic supply chains for defense and electric vehicles. Stocks tied to that theme have been prone to sharp swings, with timing and funding questions often

Tesla stock heads into Monday under pressure after delivery miss hands EV crown to BYD

Tesla stock heads into Monday under pressure after delivery miss hands EV crown to BYD

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 13:09 ET — Market closed Tesla shares head into the new week on the back foot after the company reported a steeper-than-expected slide in fourth-quarter deliveries and ceded the global electric-vehicle sales crown to China’s BYD. Tesla closed down 2.6% at $438.07 on Friday. Reuters The figures land at an awkward moment for Tesla bulls who have leaned on the company’s long-term bets in robotics and self-driving, even as the core car business slows. Deliveries — vehicles handed over to customers — are a key, near-real-time gauge of demand and pricing power. Reuters They also

Establishment Labs (ESTA) stock drops 5.5% — what to watch before Monday’s open and JPM conference

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:22 ET — Market closed Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. shares fell 5.5% on Friday, ending at $68.84 and lagging a largely flat Nasdaq on the first trading day of 2026. Yahoo Finance The move comes as investors sharpen their focus on U.S. growth drivers for the medical device maker, particularly a bid to widen the approved use of its Motiva silicone implants beyond cosmetic breast augmentation and into breast reconstruction. Establishment Labs said on Dec. 29 it submitted Motiva implants to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for approval in primary and revision breast reconstruction,

Diebold Nixdorf (DBD) stock slides nearly 6% to start 2026 — what traders watch next

New York, January 4, 2026, 13:18 ET — Market closed Diebold Nixdorf shares closed down 5.79% on Friday at $63.96, marking a sharp retreat on the first trading day of 2026. The stock will reopen for trading on Monday after U.S. markets stayed shut over the weekend. Diebold Nixdorf Investors The move matters because the ATM and bank-technology provider had been hovering in the high-$60s into year-end, leaving it exposed to profit-taking as investors reset positions for the new year. A fast reversal early in January can set the tone for sentiment in smaller, more volatile names. Diebold Nixdorf Investors
