The same data put Ford’s 50-day moving average at about $13.22 and its 200-day at roughly $12.20, a basic trend gauge chart watchers use to map momentum. (MarketBeat) Macro is also in the mix. A U.S.

Western Digital stock bounces as Fidelity discloses 10.1% stake; eyes turn to Jan. 22 earnings

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 12:11 (EST) — Regular trading session Western Digital Corp shares climbed Friday after a regulatory filing showed Fidelity’s FMR LLC owned more than 10% of the data storage maker.

Bloom Energy stock jumps again as $2.65B AEP fuel-cell order keeps Wyoming data-center trade in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:26 EST — Regular session Bloom Energy Corp shares rose 3.6% to $126.23 in late morning trading after hitting an earlier high of $129.96. The session low was $120.62. The move comes after American Electric Power disclosed that its unit will exercise a substantial portion of its option for Bloom’s solid oxide fuel cells — systems that generate electricity on-site from fuel such as natural gas, rather than by burning it in a turbine. AEP also said it has a 20-year agreement with an unnamed customer to take all the output from a fuel-cell generation

CompoSecure stock jumps after JPMorgan lands Apple Card deal, fueling metal-card hopes

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 10:40 EST — Regular session CompoSecure shares rose about 6.4% to $22.79 in morning trade on Friday, riding a fresh wave of attention after JPMorgan Chase agreed to take over Apple’s credit-card program from Goldman Sachs. (reuters.com) That matters for CompoSecure because Apple Card is a rare U.S. card program where the physical card itself is part of the brand, and the issuer shift gives Chase room — at least on paper — to revisit suppliers and product features over time. Apple and Chase said the transition is expected to take about 24 months and

Oracle stock jumps nearly 3% after soft US jobs data, but AI spending worries linger

New York, January 9, 2026, 11:00 (EST) — Regular session Oracle Corp shares rose nearly 3% on Friday, tracking a broader bounce in U.S. equities after a softer-than-expected jobs report eased pressure on rate-cut expectations. The stock was up 2.9% at $195.07, after trading as low as $188.91 earlier in the session. Wall Street’s main indexes edged higher after the Labor Department reported a 50,000 increase in December nonfarm payrolls, below economists’ 60,000 estimate, while the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%. Traders still penciled in about 54 basis points of easing this year — a basis point is 0.01 percentage

Intel stock jumps 6% as Trump praises CEO meeting, earnings loom

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 11:16 EST — Regular session Intel shares rose about 6% on Friday, lifting the stock toward its best levels of the week, after fresh attention on the chipmaker followed President Donald Trump’s comments about a meeting with CEO Lip-Bu Tan. The shares were up 6.1% at $43.62 in late-morning trade. The move matters because Intel’s stock has turned into a fast read on whether the company can prove it is back on track in manufacturing — the hard part of its turnaround — at a time when U.S. industrial policy and big capital spending are

Applied Digital stock jumps again as hyperscaler talks and $2.35B financing keep APLD in play

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:16 EST — Regular session Applied Digital Corp shares rose about 11% to $35.38 on Friday, extending a post-earnings run for the AI data center developer as investors focused on new customer talks and the company’s funding stack. Broader U.S. equities were modestly higher. The move matters because Applied Digital is trying to turn signed power and lease commitments into operating capacity in a market where power, cooling and construction slots are tight. For traders, the question is less “AI demand” and more “how fast, how funded, and how concentrated.” Applied Digital has pitched itself

Intel stock jumps again as AI PC chips and foundry bets pull buyers back

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 10:49 EST Intel shares rose again Friday, stretching a steep run this week as traders latched onto new catalysts around artificial intelligence PCs and the company’s drive to manufacture chips for outside customers. That stock swing matters. Intel has sat through much of the AI boom while rivals took the spotlight — and the money. The company will report fourth-quarter and full-year results on Jan. 22, which investors now view as the next read on whether that optimism actually lands in revenue and margins.

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:48 EST AST SpaceMobile shares climbed again Friday after Bank of America raised its price target, with the stock looking to find its footing after a steep drop sparked by a Scotiabank downgrade. The shares were up about 8% at $97.60 in morning trade.https://sherwood.news/markets/ast-spacemobile-rises-after-favorable-commentary-from-bofa/ The back-to-back calls highlight what’s on the line in the nascent “direct-to-cell” market, where companies are trying to link ordinary smartphones to satellites once users move beyond tower coverage. Investors have driven AST’s valuation sharply higher even though the business is still early, and that leaves little room for delays. Bank

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:37 EST — Regular session Alphabet Inc’s Class C shares (GOOG) jumped 1.2% Friday morning, tacking on $4.06 to reach $330.07. A fresh brokerage upgrade built on recent deal flow and upbeat earnings news from the Google parent.

Sandisk stock rebounds on soft US jobs report; what’s driving SNDK now

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:32 AM EST — Regular session underway Sandisk Corp (SNDK.O) jumped roughly 7% on Friday, with chip and storage names catching their breath following the previous session’s drop. The stock traded at $357.90 at 10:25 a.m. ET, up 7%, after bouncing from a low of $330.96 to a high of $365.50 earlier. The rebound stands out. Sandisk’s become a popular AI data-center play on the storage side, and the logic isn’t complicated—more AI servers mean thirstier demand for memory and storage, and supply can get snug in a hurry. Sandisk dropped 5.4% on Thursday, investors

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:09 (EST) — Regular session Vistra Corp (VST) shares rose about 14.4% to $172.26 in morning trade on Friday after Meta Platforms said it signed 20-year agreements to buy power from three Vistra nuclear plants.
