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.

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:35 EST — Premarket Apple (AAPL.O) was down 0.5% at $259.04 in premarket trade on Friday, after ending Thursday’s session at $260.37. Apple’s size is the point.
