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

Gartner stock slides 6% to start 2026 — what to watch before Monday’s open

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 12:56 ET — Market closed Gartner, Inc. shares closed down 6.1% on Friday at $237.03, marking a sharp drop in the first trading session of 2026. The stock opened at $250.39 and slid to an intraday low of $236.69 before paring losses. The move matters now because January is shaping up as a test of whether companies keep spending on research and advisory work or lean harder on cost controls. Big early swings can reset positioning quickly, especially when investors are trying to gauge how much growth they can pay for. For Gartner, the market’s

Tesla stock faces a Monday test after delivery miss hands EV crown to BYD

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:04 ET — Market closed Tesla shares will be in focus when U.S. trading resumes on Monday after the electric-vehicle maker reported a sharper-than-expected fourth-quarter drop in deliveries and lost its annual EV sales lead to China’s BYD. The stock fell 2.6% on Friday to $438.07. Reuters The delivery figure is one of the first hard reads on EV demand after the $7,500 U.S. federal tax credit expired at the end of September, raising effective purchase prices for many buyers. That matters for Tesla because investors still treat volume growth as the core barometer for

Wave Life Sciences (WVE) stock slides 6% — what traders are watching next

New York, Jan 4, 2026, 12:46 ET — Market closed Wave Life Sciences shares closed down 6.2% on Friday at $15.95, with the Nasdaq-listed biotech swinging between $15.53 and $17.23 in the session. The drop matters because Wave’s stock has become a high-beta proxy for investor appetite for next-generation obesity treatments, where early clinical signals can move valuations sharply. The next company update investors care about is already on the calendar: Wave has guided to additional INLIGHT trial data in the first quarter. SEC Wave is developing RNA medicines, including WVE-007, a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy that aims to

Chip stocks surge into 2026 as Nvidia, AMD and Intel face CES and jobs-report tests

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:00 ET — Market closed Semiconductor stocks led Wall Street’s first session of 2026, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index — a benchmark for major U.S.-listed chipmakers — up 4% on Friday as the Dow rose 0.66% and the S&P 500 gained 0.19%. The Nasdaq slipped 0.03% as investors rotated back into chip names after a late-December pullback. “Buy the dip, sell the rip” is the mindset right now, Charles Schwab trading strategist Joe Mazzola said. Reuters With U.S. markets shut on Sunday, chip stocks sit near the center of the next week’s risk-on trade. The

Nvidia stock starts 2026 higher — CES keynote and jobs report set next test for AI shares

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:49 ET — Market closed Nvidia shares closed up 1.2% on Friday at $188.85, helping chipmakers lead Wall Street’s first trading day of 2026. The next read on the AI trade comes when U.S. markets reopen on Monday. Reuters The move matters because chip stocks have become a fast way for investors to express a view on AI infrastructure spending — the servers, chips and networking that power AI systems. Friday’s rebound followed a late-December stumble that left markets without the typical “Santa Claus rally” into year-end. Reuters The calendar is packed early. Nvidia CEO

Blackbaud stock slides nearly 6% to start 2026 as investors eye jobs data and mid-Feb earnings window

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 1:04 PM ET — Market closed Blackbaud shares closed down 5.95% on Friday at $59.52, a drop of $3.77 from Thursday’s close, in the stock’s first session of 2026. Yahoo Finance The selloff left the software provider’s stock near the day’s low of $59.32 after trading as high as $63.90 earlier in the session, according to market data. Why it matters now: Friday’s move resets the tape for a name that sits at the intersection of software spending and nonprofit fundraising budgets, both sensitive to macro expectations and financing conditions. It also comes as investors

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas prices fall on warmer forecast — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:41 ET — Market closed EQT Corp shares finished the first trading day of 2026 lower after U.S. natural gas futures slipped on forecasts for milder weather across the country. The largest U.S. gas producer closed down 0.3% at $53.46 on Friday. Baird Maritime / Work Boat World The move matters because January is the heart of the U.S. heating season, when small shifts in temperature forecasts can swing demand and, by extension, gas prices and producer margins. Traders are also weighing record supply against the export pull from LNG terminals. Baird Maritime / Work

Pegasystems stock slides 6% to start 2026 as insider sale filing lands — what’s next for PEGA

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Pegasystems Inc shares closed down 6.1% on Friday, ending the first trading day of 2026 at $56.06. Yahoo Finance The drop matters heading into Monday because it put PEGA back on traders’ screens just as investors reprice rate-sensitive software names. Markets also face a heavy early-January U.S. data calendar that can move Treasury yields, a key input for growth-stock valuations. Reuters A late U.S. filing adds a fresh overhang. A Form 144 notice accepted on Friday showed Pegasystems officer Kenneth Stillwell filed to sell up to 4,000 shares, with an

Bitcoin price back above $91,000 as ETF inflows put Coinbase, Strategy stocks in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 12:36 ET — Market closed Bitcoin climbed back above $91,000 on Sunday, extending a new-year rebound that lifted crypto-linked stocks and U.S.-listed bitcoin funds in the first session of 2026. With U.S. stock markets shut for the weekend, the move still matters for holders of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) — listed funds that hold bitcoin and trade like stocks — and for companies whose shares tend to track the token’s swings. It also lands ahead of a busy U.S. macro week that could reset interest-rate expectations, a key driver for risk assets from tech
