NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 07:40 ET — Premarket Opendoor Technologies Inc (OPEN) shares were up 2.1% at $5.95 in premarket trading on Friday.

Why Plug Power (PLUG) stock is moving today: reverse split warning puts shareholder vote in focus

Why Plug Power (PLUG) stock is moving today: reverse split warning puts shareholder vote in focus

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 07:20 ET — Premarket Plug Power shares rose 1.8% in premarket trading on Friday, changing hands at $1.97. The hydrogen fuel-cell and electrolyzer maker is pressing shareholders to back charter amendments that would broaden its flexibility to issue stock, a flashpoint for investors wary of dilution. The timing matters because the proposals sit at the intersection of funding and governance. Investors often treat any path toward new share issuance — or a reverse split — as a near-term catalyst for small-cap names under financing scrutiny. In an email to certain stockholders filed with the U.S.

AI’s “Pick-and-Shovel” Boom: Power, Cooling and Networking Stocks Take the Spotlight in 2026

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 07:07 ET Investors are starting 2026 by shifting attention from headline AI model makers to the physical plumbing that keeps data centers running — power, cooling and networking — as valuations rise across the sector. The debate matters now because the AI boom is increasingly tied to the pace of data-center buildouts. That puts more focus on the companies that sell the hardware and systems needed to deploy and run AI at scale. It also raises the risk that constraints in the real world — especially electricity supply — could dictate how far and how

Stock market today: Nasdaq, S&P 500 futures climb to start 2026 as Nvidia and Baidu rally

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 07:04 ET — Premarket U.S. stock index futures rose on Friday as Wall Street kicked off 2026 with a tech-led rebound after a late-year slide.

Oklo stock today: OKLO edges up in premarket as investors eye funding, DOE milestones

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 07:10 ET — Premarket Oklo Inc. shares inched up about 0.2% to $71.76 in premarket trading on Friday. The modest move underscores how little it takes to nudge OKLO after a volatile 2025, when the stock’s swings often tracked shifts in risk appetite more than day-to-day fundamentals. The company is still in build-out mode, so traders tend to price the path — and the financing — rather than near-term revenue. That matters at the start of 2026 because investors are weighing two clocks at once: regulatory milestones that can take years, and capital needs that

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 07:05 ET Delta Investment Management sharply increased its stake in the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) in the third quarter, regulatory filings published this week showed.
