Eli Lilly stock today: LLY ticks higher as drug-price resets and a fresh upgrade sharpen focus

Eli Lilly stock today: LLY ticks higher as drug-price resets and a fresh upgrade sharpen focus

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:33 ET — Market closed Eli Lilly and Company shares closed up 0.53% at $1,080.36 on Friday and were down 0.17% in after-hours trading at $1,078.50. The move matters because early January is when many drugmakers reset “list prices” — the published prices before rebates and insurer discounts — and those changes can shape negotiations with payers. Policy pressure on drug costs has also intensified as the new year begins. For Lilly, pricing headlines can carry outsized weight. The company’s growth narrative is closely tied to high-demand diabetes and obesity medicines, leaving investors sensitive to

Barbados Airport Flight Cancellations: Grantley Adams hit after U.S. strikes Venezuela

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, January 3, 2026, 10:05 ET Flights to and from Barbados’ Grantley Adams International Airport were cancelled or delayed on Saturday after U.S. strikes in Venezuela prompted airspace restrictions across parts of the southern Caribbean, the airport operator said. Grantley Adams (BGI) remained open, but GAIA Inc said cancellations included KLM’s KL783 and some JetBlue and Delta services bound for Barbados and nearby islands. Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation The disruption hit routes that funnel tourists and island residents through Barbados, a key gateway for the Eastern Caribbean.

Baidu stock jumps nearly 15% on Kunlunxin IPO plan; what BIDU traders watch next

Baidu stock jumps nearly 15% on Kunlunxin IPO plan; what BIDU traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:18 ET — Market closed. Baidu’s U.S.-listed shares last traded up 14.9% at $150.30 after the company said its AI chip unit Kunlunxin confidentially filed for a Hong Kong listing as part of a proposed spin-off. SEC The filing matters because investors are trying to put a standalone value on scarce, China-focused AI chip assets, which have drawn fresh attention as chip supply chains fracture. Jefferies analyst Thomas Chong lifted his price target on Baidu and said the spin-off “unlocks” value, estimating Kunlunxin could be worth $16 billion to $23 billion. TipRanks China’s push for

AppLovin stock today: APP’s 8% drop extends a seven-day slide — what Wall Street watches next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:00 ET — Market closed AppLovin Corp shares fell 8.2% in Friday’s regular session, closing at $618.32 after touching $611.06 at the low, market data showed. The decline was the Nasdaq-listed company’s first move of 2026 after the New Year holiday and left the stock down about 16% from its Dec. 22 closing record. The drop matters because AppLovin entered the new year as one of the market’s biggest momentum names after a sharp 2025 run-up, leaving little margin for disappointment. Barron’s said the stock had risen 108% in 2025 and was the S&P 500’s

Netflix stock slides 3% into 2026 as Warner Bros deal and Jan. 20 earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:58 ET — Market closed Shares of Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) fell about 3% on Friday and ended at $90.99. The stock opened at $94.11, traded between $90.83 and $94.50, and saw roughly 41 million shares change hands. The decline keeps Netflix on the defensive heading into the first full week of 2026, as investors weigh deal risk against the company’s underlying streaming performance. That matters now because Netflix is due to update the market on revenue momentum, spending and cash generation in its next quarterly report, a potential reset point for the stock after a

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps as Bitcoin steadies near $90,000 — here’s what investors are watching

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 10:04 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares rose 3.4% in the last U.S. session on Friday, closing at $157.16 after swinging between $149.75 and $160.79. Volume was about 19.9 million shares. StockAnalysis The move matters because Strategy trades as a high-volatility proxy for bitcoin — the stock often moves more than the cryptocurrency as traders price in the firm’s crypto-heavy balance sheet and financing model. An SEC filing on Friday showed Strategy increased the regular annual dividend rate on its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch preferred stock (ticker STRC) to 11.00%, effective for

Sandisk stock jumps 16% to start 2026 as SNDK rallies on board move and chip strength

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 10:10 ET — Market closed Sandisk Corp shares closed up 15.95% on Friday, finishing at $275.24 in the first U.S. session of 2026. Sandisk The surge matters because Sandisk has become a high-momentum proxy for the “memory trade” — bets that demand for storage tied to AI data centers is tightening supply and lifting pricing for flash products. The stock ended 2025 up sharply from its $36 spin-off price after separating from Western Digital, Barron’s reported. Barron’s It also comes as investors started the year leaning into chip-linked names even as broader indexes were mixed,

Intel stock (INTC) jumps nearly 7% as chip rally kicks off 2026 — what’s next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 10:00 ET — Market closed Intel Corp (INTC) shares closed up 6.7% at $39.38 on Friday, their latest move as U.S. markets sit closed for the weekend. The stock traded between $37.41 and $39.86 and logged about 95.4 million shares in volume. The jump matters because semiconductors have been doing much of the heavy lifting for U.S. equities, and Intel remains a widely traded proxy for sentiment toward the group. With January data and the fourth-quarter earnings season ahead, investors are testing whether the year-end pullback reset entry points for big tech and chip names,

The stock traded between 37.31 and 38.23 pesos and saw about 549,000 shares change hands, Bloomberg Línea data showed.

Swiss Market Index missed Europe’s record rally — what Zurich traders watch next week

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 09:57 ET — Market closed Swiss stocks on the SIX Swiss Exchange head into next week’s reopening after a holiday pause left Zurich closed on Friday, even as European equities started 2026 at fresh highs. That matters now because the Swiss Market Index (SMI) will have to absorb a burst of global price action in its first session back, from higher bond yields to a firmer dollar. Investors are also watching the Swiss franc, which tends to strengthen when markets turn cautious. A stronger franc can squeeze earnings for global Swiss companies because they report

MarketWatch U.S. markets are closed on Saturday, leaving investors to weigh whether Friday’s semiconductor surge marks a durable turn after late-December volatility. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index, a widely watched gauge of U.S. chipmakers, jumped 4% on Friday.
