SailPoint stock sinks 6% today: what’s driving SAIL and what to watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:10 ET — Regular session Shares of SailPoint, Inc. fell about 6.5% on Friday, giving the identity security software maker one of the sharpest declines among mid-cap cybersecurity stocks. The drop matters because investors are opening the new year reassessing risk after 2025’s strong run, with attention shifting back to valuations and the interest-rate outlook that tends to drive high-growth software. Reuters “Stocks trade expensive on 18 of 20 measures,” said Savita Subramanian, Bank of America’s equity and quant strategist, in a note, as investors looked ahead to next week’s labor-market data for clues on

Nebius stock jumps about 7% as chips rally in first U.S. session of 2026 (NBIS)

Nebius stock jumps about 7% as chips rally in first U.S. session of 2026 (NBIS)

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 15:09 ET — Regular session Shares of Nebius Group N.V. were up 7.4% at $89.91 on Friday afternoon, extending a rebound in AI infrastructure-linked stocks as chip names led the market. The move matters because Nebius is widely seen as a high-beta proxy for demand for graphics processing units, or GPUs — chips used to train and run artificial intelligence models. When investors lean into AI hardware, smaller infrastructure suppliers often swing harder. Friday was the first full U.S. trading session of 2026, with traders recalibrating risk after last year’s gains and turning to early-year

Palo Alto Networks stock today: PANW slides nearly 3% as cybersecurity shares lag to start 2026

Palo Alto Networks stock today: PANW slides nearly 3% as cybersecurity shares lag to start 2026

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 15:04 ET — Regular session Palo Alto Networks, Inc. shares fell about 2.9% to $178.87 in afternoon trading on Friday. The stock opened at $184.81 and swung between $186.99 and $177.23; about 4.1 million shares had traded. The move matters because investors are using the first trading day of the year to reset risk positions, and high-growth software has been sensitive to shifts in interest-rate expectations. A heavy U.S. data calendar next week could move bond yields and reshape valuations quickly. The weakness was broad across cybersecurity: CrowdStrike was down about 3.5%, Zscaler fell about

Marvell stock jumps 5% in early 2026 session as chip rally lifts MRVL — what’s next

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:52 ET — Regular session Marvell Technology, Inc. shares were up 5.3% at $89.52 in afternoon trading on Friday, after earlier touching $90.08, as chip stocks opened 2026 with broad gains. Volume was about 8.3 million shares, versus a prior close of $84.98. Semiconductors helped keep U.S. equities from sliding further, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index — a widely watched gauge of chip stocks — up 3.5%, Reuters reported. “Stocks trade expensive on 18 of 20 measures,” said Savita Subramanian, Bank of America’s equity and quant strategist, in a note.

Texas Instruments (TXN) stock jumps nearly 3% as chip rally returns — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 14:59 ET — Regular session Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) shares rose 2.9% to $178.54 by 2:59 p.m. ET on Friday, up from a prior close of $173.49, as semiconductors led gains to start the year. The move matters because Texas Instruments is heavily exposed to industrial and automotive demand, end-markets investors watch for early-cycle turns as 2026 begins. Reuters The advance tracked strength across the chip group, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index up about 3.5% on the session. “The next Fed Chair is probably going to be much more dovish than Jerome Powell,” said Dennis

JFrog stock sinks nearly 7% despite Barclays note on new Enterprise X price hike

JFrog stock sinks nearly 7% despite Barclays note on new Enterprise X price hike

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:31 ET — Regular session JFrog Ltd shares fell nearly 7% on Friday, extending a sharp pullback that took the DevOps software maker below $60 a share during the session. The decline matters because the stock has been treated as a “pricing power” story into year-end, a narrative that can fray quickly if broader software multiples come under pressure. It also comes at the very start of 2026, when investors tend to reset risk and rebalance portfolios. A fresh note from Barclays underscored that pricing lever. But the market reaction showed traders are still demanding

Klaviyo stock sinks in first 2026 session as software selloff bites KVYO

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 14:22 ET — Regular session Klaviyo, Inc. shares fell more than 8% on Friday afternoon, extending a pullback in software stocks in the first regular trading session of 2026. The stock was down 8.4% at $29.75 after moving between $32.46 and $29.64 on the day, according to market data. The move matters because investors are re-pricing rate-sensitive growth names at the start of the year, when positioning often resets and liquidity can thin out. For smaller software companies, that can amplify day-to-day swings. Software broadly lagged. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF fell about 3.1%,

CrowdStrike stock today: CRWD slides as cybersecurity sector lags Wall Street

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 12:51 ET — Regular session CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. shares were down 3.6% at $451.74 on Friday, sliding more than the broader market as cybersecurity stocks pulled back on the first regular session of 2026. The move matters because investors often reset portfolios at the start of a new year, and richly valued software names can see outsized swings when risk appetite shifts. Macro focus is also returning after the holidays. Reuters reported investors are bracing for a batch of delayed U.S. economic releases and watching for fresh signals on the Federal Reserve’s policy path —

Qualcomm stock rises today as chip rally lifts QCOM ahead of CES and Feb. earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 12:41 ET — Regular session Shares of QUALCOMM Incorporated rose 1.3% to $173.26 on Friday, extending an early-year rebound for chip stocks. The stock traded between $172.21 and $174.63, with about 2.1 million shares changing hands by midday. The move matters because Qualcomm sits at the center of smartphone and connected-device supply chains, and its shares often trade with broader sentiment toward semiconductors. Investors are resetting positions at the start of the year after a choppy finish to 2025. It also lands days before CES in Las Vegas, a showcase where chipmakers and device brands

Sandisk stock jumps 12% to start 2026 — what’s driving SNDK today

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 11:44 ET — Regular session Shares of Sandisk Corp (SNDK) jumped nearly 12% on Friday, trading at $265.80 after touching an intraday high of $267.65. The stock swung between $242.00 and $267.65 as about 5.4 million shares changed hands in late morning trade. The move puts Sandisk back on the front foot at the start of 2026, after tech stocks stumbled in the final sessions of 2025. Traders have treated the flash-storage maker as a direct play on AI-linked data-center spending, a theme that has driven sharp rotations across semiconductors and hardware. U.S. stocks opened

Fermi (FRMI) stock jumps about 14% today as traders track lawsuit probes and next Project Matador update

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 12:07 ET — Regular session Shares of Fermi Inc (FRMI.O) rose about 14% to $9.12 in midday trading on Friday, after swinging between $8.05 and $9.15 earlier in the session. Trading volume topped 4.4 million shares. The move keeps attention on Fermi, a data-center real estate investment trust, or REIT — a structure that typically relies on tenant rent for cash flow — as it tries to line up customers for its Texas “Project Matador” power-and-data campus.

Apple, Amazon, Google stocks in focus as Alphabet filings surface and charts turn bullish

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 11:02 ET Alphabet (GOOGL) shares rose about 1% on Friday as investors returned for the first U.S. trading session of 2026 and zeroed in on mega-cap technology names. Apple (AAPL) edged higher, while Amazon.com (AMZN) slipped. The moves matter because these companies are among the biggest weights in the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Even modest swings can tug on index levels and shape risk sentiment early in the year. Liquidity remains uneven after the holiday break, when fewer market participants are active. That can make short-term chart signals and headlines feel louder than usual. In
