Berkshire Hathaway stock: OxyChem deal closes as investors size up the Abel era

Berkshire Hathaway stock: OxyChem deal closes as investors size up the Abel era

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 14:01 ET — Market closed Berkshire Hathaway said on Friday it completed its acquisition of Occidental Petroleum’s chemicals business OxyChem, a $9.7 billion all-cash deal that adds a major plastics and industrial chemicals producer to the conglomerate. Business Wire The timing matters. Berkshire is entering 2026 with investors focused on how the company puts money to work after a long stretch of sitting on cash and trimming some big equity positions, even as markets remain richly valued. It also lands as Berkshire shifts from a Warren Buffett-led story to one where capital allocation and succession

Novanta stock sinks 6.7% to start 2026; ISM data and JPM conference loom

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Novanta Inc shares fell 6.7% on Friday and closed at $111.14, swinging between $119.96 and $110.46 in the year’s first U.S. trading session. Volume was about 663,000 shares. The selloff left Novanta lagging a broader market that finished mixed to slightly higher, with the Dow and S&P 500 edging up while the Nasdaq ended little changed. The early-2026 tape has traders watching whether rate-sensitive stocks can hold gains after a strong 2025. Reuters Why it matters now: the start-of-year reset is colliding with a fresh round of U.S. data and

Exxon stock today: Venezuela shake-up and OPEC+ decision put XOM in focus for Monday

Exxon stock today: Venezuela shake-up and OPEC+ decision put XOM in focus for Monday

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:36 ET — Market closed Exxon Mobil Corp shares will be in focus when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after President Donald Trump said American oil companies were ready to spend billions of dollars to revive Venezuela’s oil infrastructure following the capture and removal of President Nicolas Maduro. Chevron is the only U.S. major currently operating in Venezuela, while Exxon and ConocoPhillips exited after projects were nationalized nearly two decades ago. “There are still many questions that need to be answered about the state of the Venezuelan oil industry, but it is clear that it

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps with bitcoin rebound — here’s what matters before Monday

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps with bitcoin rebound — here’s what matters before Monday

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:07 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares ended the first U.S. trading session of 2026 up 3.5% at $157.16, before markets closed for the weekend. The move tracked bitcoin’s recovery, leaving crypto-linked stocks in focus heading into Monday’s open. The Nasdaq-listed company — formerly MicroStrategy — is widely treated as a proxy for bitcoin, meaning investors often buy or sell the stock to express a view on the token. That relationship tends to amplify moves: when bitcoin rises or falls, Strategy can swing more sharply. Strategy That sensitivity matters now because bitcoin has been

Energy Fuels stock today: UUUU jumps 15% as uranium miners rally into 2026 — what investors watch next

Energy Fuels stock today: UUUU jumps 15% as uranium miners rally into 2026 — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:00 ET — Market closed Energy Fuels Inc (UUUU) shares jumped 14.9% on Friday to close at $16.68, with about 14.9 million shares traded. U.S. markets were closed on Sunday. The move matters because Energy Fuels is a high-beta proxy for investor appetite toward nuclear-fuel supply chains and U.S.-based critical materials, a theme that has been prone to sharp reversals. It also shows how quickly positioning can shift at the start of a new year in thinly covered miners, where flows can amplify price swings. Energy Fuels, based near Denver, produces uranium and is developing

MARA stock jumps 10% as Bitcoin climbs above $90,000 — what to watch before markets reopen

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:28 ET — Market closed Shares of bitcoin miner MARA Holdings (MARA) closed up 10.4% at $9.91 on Friday, tracking a rebound in crypto-linked stocks on the first trading day of 2026. Yahoo Finance The move matters because MARA trades as a leveraged proxy for bitcoin. Miners’ revenue is tied to the value of the coins they earn, so the stocks often move more sharply than the token itself. Traders head into the new week focused on U.S. economic releases, capped by Friday’s payrolls report, for clues on interest-rate expectations. “It’s a time to actually

QBTS stock jumps as D-Wave Quantum rally puts CES 2026 and U.S. data in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:32 ET — Market closed D-Wave Quantum Inc shares ended Friday up 7.6% at $28.13, with about 48 million shares traded as the stock ranged between $25.44 and $28.42. The move matters because the quantum-computing sector has started 2026 with renewed momentum, and D-Wave is approaching a busy stretch of investor-facing events. Traders have also been recalibrating their bets on high-growth, high-volatility names after fresh guidance from Federal Reserve officials. Philadelphia Fed President Anna Paulson said on Saturday that further U.S. rate cuts could be some way off as policymakers take stock of inflation and

Exxon Mobil stock ends higher as OPEC+ meeting and Venezuela headlines hit oil

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 03:49 ET — Market closed. Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) shares rose 1.9% to $122.65 on Friday, with about 14.2 million shares traded, as investors bought energy names ahead of an OPEC+ supply meeting and weekend headlines out of Venezuela. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday. The stock is a proxy for the oil tape. Traders are trying to gauge whether producers will keep supply disciplined as the market weighs fears of a glut against fresh geopolitical risks. That matters for Exxon because its upstream business — oil and gas production — tends to move with

EOSE stock jumps 13% as Eos Energy rides broad energy-storage rally into 2026

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 19:10 ET — Market closed Eos Energy Enterprises Inc shares closed up 13.3% at $12.97 on Friday, kicking off 2026 with a sharp gain in the energy-storage maker. MarketBeat The move matters for investors because smaller clean-tech and grid-storage names tend to swing with shifts in risk appetite and rate expectations, and the first session of the year can amplify positioning moves. Next week brings a dense U.S. data calendar, led by the monthly jobs report on Jan. 9 and the consumer price index on Jan. 13, both of which can move Treasury yields and

ACM Research stock jumps nearly 14% to start 2026 as chip rally lifts ACMR

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 19:00 ET — Market closed Shares of ACM Research, Inc. rose 13.76% on Friday to close at $44.88, their biggest daily gain in months, after trading between $40.86 and $44.99. The stock finished within 24 cents of its 52-week high of $45.12, according to StockAnalysis. StockAnalysis The outsized move matters because ACMR has been one of the higher-beta names in the chip-tool space, where momentum can turn quickly as investors reset positions for the new year. With the shares now crowding a key price ceiling, traders will be watching for follow-through when markets reopen. The

CleanSpark stock jumps 14% to start 2026 as Bitcoin steadies near $90,000 — what’s next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:56 ET — Market closed CleanSpark shares jumped 14.1% in the latest session, closing at $11.55 after swinging between $10.18 and $11.58. With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, the stock’s most recent after-hours print was $11.59. Yahoo Finance The rally mattered because crypto-linked equities are starting 2026 still tethered to bitcoin’s day-to-day swings. Bitcoin mining companies sell or hold the coins they produce, so a move in the token can quickly change revenue expectations in dollar terms. That sensitivity is coming into focus ahead of a busy U.S. economic week. Traders are watching whether
