Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock’s holiday bounce gives investors clear July watch

U.S. markets stayed shut Friday because of the Independence Day holiday, and headed into the regular weekend after that. Netflix, Inc. picks up Monday still working off the Thursday close, with no new Friday action. Nasdaq marked July 3 as a U.S. market holiday for Independence Day. Netflix shares finished up 4.66% at $77.65 on Thursday, adding a couple of cents to $77.67 in after-hours trading. Volume came in at 55.54 million shares, about 134% of the 65-day average, with the stock moving between $74.91 and $78.44. That’s five straight gains, though the stock is still off 21.3% for the past three months and down 40.1% over the last year.
Strategy stock pops after $1.15 billion share sale shift to cash test

Strategy stock pops after $1.15 billion share sale shift to cash test

4 July 2026
Strategy Inc closed at $100.77 on July 2, gaining 7.9% for the day, with U.S. stock trading shut on Friday and no market activity over the weekend. Investors faced a four-day break to work through a week where the stock shifted from a straight Bitcoin play to a test of cash reserves. The comparison is key here since Strategy logged its strongest week in months, but didn’t add any new Bitcoin. The June 29 filing showed 12,669,017 MSTR shares sold in the week through June 28, raising $1.152 billion, with no Bitcoin bought. Holdings stayed at 847,363 Bitcoin bought for $64.10 billion total, or $75,651 each.

SpaceX stock feels index pressure with valuation estimates spread from $63 to $310

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is showing how price can disconnect from sales as index flows and options activity hit the name harder than anything models are tracking. The shares last traded at $162.00, still up from the $135 IPO level, but well off the $225.64 high just after its June debut. Nasdaq Inc. said SpaceX raised $85.7 billion including the underwriters’ overallotment, putting its market value at $2.1 trillion on day one. The shares opened at $150 and closed at $160.95, up 19.2% from the IPO price, according to Nasdaq.
Meta’s AI cloud plan puts $62 billion supplier wager in play

Meta’s AI cloud plan puts $62 billion supplier wager in play

Meta Platforms has not confirmed a commercial cloud product. The investor question is already measurable: after $19.84 billion of first-quarter capital expenditures, Meta would need to spend $105.2 billion to $125.2 billion over the final nine months of 2026 to hit its own $125 billion to $145 billion full-year guide. That implies $35.1 billion to $41.7 billion a quarter, or 77%-110% above the first-quarter pace. Reuters, citing Bloomberg News, reported that Meta is building a cloud business to sell excess AI computing capacity and may offer access to hosted models, including Muse Spark, as well as raw compute. The plans are still in development and could change. Meta declined to comment to Reuters.
Dow hits record but chips slide in quiet trade ahead of July 4 break

Dow hits record but chips slide in quiet trade ahead of July 4 break

U.S. stock screens showed nothing new on the cash tape Friday night. Both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq marked July 3, 2026, as closed for the observance of Independence Day. Nasdaq's standard after-hours trading lasts from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET on normal days. Thursday saw a split close, and Friday’s fund-flow numbers showed investors buying into tech funds on the pullback. But chip stocks dropped again before the long weekend. Now Monday’s open is a test for whether buyers stick with tech as AI valuations get a tougher look.
Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL) falls as AI data-center surge cools into holiday week

Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL) falls as AI data-center surge cools into holiday week

U.S. markets closed on Friday for the Independence Day holiday, so Marvell's last full session was Thursday. Nasdaq says July 3, 2026, will be a holiday. NYSE also has that date as the observed Independence Day. Marvell traded higher early Tuesday but then dropped sharply. Shares ended the week 17.7% under Tuesday’s close and down 8.1% from the last Friday close at $266.77. The week was short, but losses were heavy.
Dow Jones ends at record 52,900, chips mixed ahead of Fed week

Dow Jones ends at record 52,900, chips mixed ahead of Fed week

U.S. stock markets were closed for trading Friday, leaving Thursday's closes unchanged. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at a record high 52,900.07, up 1.14%. The S&P 500 ended flat. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.80%. That put the Dow ahead of the Nasdaq by 1.94 points on the session, a sharp spread heading into the long holiday break. This isn't just a broad risk-on move; buyers looked for safety as chips sold off again. The Dow tracks 30 big stocks, weighting them by price, so gains in the highest-priced names move the index more than moves in bigger companies.
GFL Environmental shares trade on TSX after buyout talk; NYSE shut for holiday, $1 billion spread

GFL Environmental shares trade on TSX after buyout talk; NYSE shut for holiday, $1 billion spread

GFL Environmental Inc. jumped 7.56% to C$57.17 on the Toronto exchange at 12:42 p.m. EDT. Reuters, quoting Bloomberg, said the waste services company is looking at a possible take-private deal. GFL’s U.S. shares were idle with NYSE markets closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday, so the Toronto price was the basis for this update. GFL was moving ahead of the Canadian market at midday. By 12:49 p.m. EDT, the S&P/TSX Composite Index was up 0.87%. GFL's volume hit 938,410 shares, well above its usual 688,880. That was almost 36% more than average before the afternoon kicked off.
Palantir surges, adding $23 billion as Nvidia AI tie-up pushes valuation

Palantir stock takes holiday break with $117 billion AI control-layer bet hanging

U.S. stock markets were closed Friday for the Independence Day observed holiday, so Palantir Technologies Inc. only had a four-day trading week. That ended a rough June, with the stock starting July on a firmer note. The New York Stock Exchange will also observe Independence Day on Friday, July 3 in 2026, while regular trading runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET otherwise. Palantir didn’t just come back; it outperformed. Shares finished at $129.30 on Thursday, up 2.84% for the session, while SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust fell $0.85 and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 dropped $12.33 in the final U.S. trade before the holiday.
Joby Aviation slips after Toyota JV filing points to modest launch, possible $250 million add-on

Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) drops after Toyota boost fades, JV terms in focus

Joby Aviation closed out the week on a softer note than Toyota’s news signaled. The NYSE was shut Friday, July 3, for the observed Independence Day holiday, so $8.49 on Thursday was the last trade before the break. Joby shares dropped 3.9% from the $8.83 close last Friday, despite news of the manufacturing JV with Toyota Motor Corp. Trading picked up: 207.7 million shares moved in four sessions, or about 51.9 million a day, above the 37.42 million daily average on Google Finance.

ASML rally trims analyst upside ahead of July 15 earnings

ASML rally trims analyst upside ahead of July 15 earnings

ASML Holding N.V. traded higher Friday, with shares last at 1,626.60 euros, up 3.1% from Thursday's close of 1,577.80 euros. The stock moved between 1,588.40 and 1,636.40 euros on the day. Some investors are watching the gap between the current price and analyst targets instead of just the daily move. The rebound keeps the stock 6.6% under its June 30 record of 1,741 euros. It’s now close to the average 12-month price target of 1,695.96 euros. Investing.com pegs the room to target at 4.26%, with 38 analysts rating it a buy and two at sell.
Dow up but AI-chip slide hits Nasdaq after jobs report

US stock futures set for gains ahead of July 4; chip selloff masks broader move

U.S. stock investors go into the long weekend without the usual premarket session, as exchanges stay closed for Independence Day observed. The last read on futures had buyers stepping in after a weaker jobs report eased worries about a Fed rate hike soon. U.S. stock and bond markets are shut Friday and regular trading starts back up Monday, July 6. The Dow finished at a record, but the bigger story was the split between index price and market breadth. On Thursday, the S&P 500 closed little changed, but over two-thirds of its stocks traded higher. The Nasdaq slipped as traders reduced chip bets. That leaves Monday looking less like a typical risk-on move and more like a check on whether
Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) heads into shortened week after 315 million shares trade

Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) heads into shortened week after 315 million shares trade

Ondas Inc. heads into the U.S. holiday break after a busy session that finished lower. Thursday’s $7.41 close stands as the last regular-session price before Nasdaq shuts down July 3 for Independence Day observed and trading resumes next week. The key stat isn’t just Thursday’s 6.44% drop. It’s the churn: Ondas saw 315.5 million shares traded from Monday to Thursday, about 60% of its 523.16 million shares outstanding, according to Google Finance. That kind of turnover doesn’t mean every share changed hands, but it does show a lot moved as the stock stalled under $8.50.

Novo Nordisk (CPH:NOVO-B) rises, but volume stays light ahead of August results

Novo Nordisk A/S finished the week with a smaller rally than the rest of the Danish market. B shares closed Friday at DKK 326.90, dropping 1.54% on the day but still up 2.8% for the week. The OMX Copenhagen 25 gained 5.5% in the same period, so the stock lagged the benchmark by about 2.6 percentage points.

Corning stock drops 11% in post-rally trade as AI fiber hopes hit test

Corning Incorporated heads into next week with a clearer setup after the U.S. holiday. The question now is if investors are still willing to pay up for an AI-infrastructure story after the stock’s sudden drop. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq were shut Friday, July 3, for Independence Day observed. That left Thursday’s close as the last regular U.S. price until trading restarts Monday. Corning last finished at $196.79, falling $23.84, or 10.81%, with a range from $193.54 to $224.01, according to MarketWatch. The intraday range came to $30.47, or about 15.5% of the close.

Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) could see staged Israel index move after 14% weekly gain

Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) could see staged Israel index move after 14% weekly gain

U.S. markets stayed closed Friday for Independence Day and are closed Saturday. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is off the main tape until Monday. The stock finished the short week close to its 52-week high, while a separate index move in Tel Aviv gave a set date for new benchmark buying. Palo Alto won’t just land on another U.S. analyst list. CTech said July 2 the company will be fast-tracked into the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange’s TA-35 and TA-125 indices after the quarterly rebalancing set for Aug. 6, with a 5% weight cap in both. Without the foreign-stock restriction, Palo Alto could have hit a 7% cap in TA-125, according to CTech.
Rezolve AI (NASDAQ:RZLV) sets $300M buyback as shares swing in holiday week

Rezolve AI (NASDAQ:RZLV) sets $300M buyback as shares swing in holiday week

Rezolve AI PLC heads into this week with a fresh $300 million buyback approval, but so far there’s no sign of actual repurchases hitting the tape. Shareholders cleared the buyback plan on June 30. In the four sessions ended July 2, the stock traded 115.4 million shares—turnover of about $347.8 million at closing prices, per company data and LSEG. The mandate turns into a liquidity question. With shares finishing Thursday at $2.84, $300 million lines up to nearly 105.6 million shares—almost matching all the trading volume reported for the week. That’s around 86% of what the week’s dollar volume is thought to be. Rezolve isn’t saying it will buy all those shares, or that it will happen any time soon.
Boeing (BA) surges in holiday week as stock packs in 2026 run ahead of Q2

Boeing (BA) surges in holiday week as stock packs in 2026 run ahead of Q2

Boeing heads into the July 4 break with nearly all of its 2026 gains squeezed into one shortened week. The NYSE will observe Independence Day in 2026 on Friday, July 3, so Boeing’s last regular close came Thursday at $226.49, up $7.91, or 3.62%. The shift is notable since this wasn’t a gradual move. MarketWatch numbers put Boeing up 4.25% for the last five days, almost matching its 4.32% gain since the start of the year. Strip out Thursday’s pop and the rest of the five-day gain is just about 0.6%, using those same returns.

NuScale stock falls 3.4% in holiday week as $1 billion cash pile masks thin revenue

NuScale Power Corporation goes into the July 6 session with a less tidy story than the nuclear-stock theme suggests. The stock fell in a four-session week, but the bigger point is the gap between price, revenue and cash. NuScale closed Thursday at $9.76. That put the shares only about 10% above their 52-week low of $8.85 and about 83% below the 52-week high of $57.42. Short interest was 69.5 million shares, equal to 20.72% of the float, and up 14.32% in the latest Barron’s data.

Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock trades at 43 times sales as holiday week begins

Palantir Technologies Inc. heads into the July 4 break with U.S. trading closed, leaving the question for next week: what are investors willing to pay for a software firm trading at almost 43 times its 2026 revenue forecast? Nasdaq says its markets are closed for the Independence Day holiday observed on July 3. Normal trading runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday. The next cash session starts Monday, July 6.
Lilly (NYSE:LLY) closes holiday week near record as XLV outpaces

Lilly (NYSE:LLY) closes holiday week near record as XLV outpaces

Eli Lilly and Company heads into the holiday-shortened week trading near its all-time highs. Last week, though, the more notable move wasn’t Lilly’s climb. Most of the buying in healthcare came from stocks outside of Lilly, even while it stayed the sector’s largest name. The New York Stock Exchange will mark July 3, a Friday, for its 2026 Independence Day holiday. On trading days, its core hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern. So Thursday’s session will be the last full day for U.S. equities before markets reopen Monday.
Intuit stock rebounds but Wall Street targets stay much higher than battered price

Intuit stock rebounds but Wall Street targets stay much higher than battered price

Intuit Inc. bounced 5.5% in the last two sessions of the U.S. holiday-shortened week. The gain didn’t do much to narrow the spread under the shares, with analysts’ targets still calling for a big rally while the stock sits not far from the Street’s bear case scenario. U.S. stock markets were closed Friday, July 3, for the Independence Day holiday. Nasdaq trading resumes Monday, July 6. Regular hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, according to Nasdaq.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock’s holiday bounce gives investors clear July watch

U.S. markets stayed shut Friday because of the Independence Day holiday, and headed into the regular weekend after that.

Netflix shares finished up 4.66% at $77.65 on Thursday, adding a couple of cents to $77.67 in after-hours trading. Volume came in at 55.54 million shares, about 134% of the 65-day average, with the stock moving between $74.91 and $78.44. That’s five straight gains, though the stock is still off 21.3% for the past three months and down 40.1% over the last year.

AST SpaceMobile nears Wall Street target after 19% jump in shortened holiday week

AST SpaceMobile, Inc. finished the shortened U.S. trading week up 19.15% at $85.13. The move came after Reuters said Japan plans to give up to 148 billion yen, or $912 million, to Rakuten Group for a satellite communications network. Rakuten is reportedly in talks with AST SpaceMobile to set up a joint venture for that project. No regular U.S. stock trading happened Friday. NYSE and Nasdaq both show July 3, 2026, as a market holiday for Independence Day.

Constellation Energy (NASDAQ:CEG) drops as June buyback, Calpine lock-up eyed

U.S. exchanges were closed Friday for the July 4 holiday, so trading in Constellation Energy Corporation wrapped up Thursday. The week didn't look like a typical utilities move. CEG dropped 9.4% from last Friday’s close. In the same stretch, State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust gained 2.2%, while Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund lost 1.0%. Constellation ended Wednesday at $239.25, up 1.16% for the session. Still, shares traded close to Monday's intraday low at $228.63, which also marked the 52-week low. Trading volume reached 8.69 million shares, more than twice the 65-day average, according to WSJ market data.
Strategy stock pops after $1.15 billion share sale shift to cash test

Strategy stock pops after $1.15 billion share sale shift to cash test

Strategy Inc closed at $100.77 on July 2, gaining 7.9% for the day, with U.S. stock trading shut on Friday and no market activity over the weekend. Investors faced a four-day break to work through a week where the stock shifted from a straight Bitcoin play to a test of cash reserves. The comparison is key here since Strategy logged its strongest week in months, but didn’t add any new Bitcoin. The June 29 filing showed 12,669,017 MSTR shares sold in the week through June 28, raising $1.152 billion, with no Bitcoin bought. Holdings stayed at 847,363 Bitcoin bought for $64.10 billion total, or $75,651 each.
Circle stock slips on short holiday week, traders flag reserve-yield risk signals

Circle stock slips on short holiday week, traders flag reserve-yield risk signals

Circle Internet Group comes into Monday with the stock down sharply, even as USDC supply holds up. Shares finished at $64.62 on July 2, rising 4.31% for the day, but are off 12.2% from $73.57 at the close the previous Friday. U.S. markets were closed on July 3 for the Independence Day holiday, per the NYSE. Volume tells more of the story. Circle moved 38.13 million shares on June 30, when the stock dropped 17.55%. Over the four-session week, total volume hit 89.72 million. That means nearly half—42.5%—traded on that one selloff. The July 2 bounce clawed back just $1.99 from a $13.33 plunge on June 30.

State Street’s cheap S&P 500 ETF could see new flows as a government program makes it the default pick. Parents using the savings plan will have their money parked in the State Street fund unless they actively choose a different provider. State Street’s SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF, which carried the SPLG ticker until its switch set for Oct. 31, 2025, closed the short week at $87.67. U.S. markets were closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday and did not open on Saturday.
Alibaba trades near 52-week low after Kling AI funding update

Alibaba trades near 52-week low after Kling AI funding update

Hong Kong’s stock market doesn’t trade on Sundays and stayed closed last Wednesday for the city’s Special Administrative Region Establishment Day. That gave Alibaba Group Holding Limited four trading sessions for Hong Kong investors last week. HKEX's 2026 calendar still puts the market shut on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays like July 1. Alibaba’s Hong Kong stock finished Friday at HK$94.10, slipping 0.42% on the day, but up 5.1% from last week’s HK$89.50 close. The shares are still down 49.5% from the 52-week high of HK$186.20, and 6.1% above the 52-week low of HK$88.65 seen on June 26.

BigBear.ai (NYSE:BBAI) steady after Russell bump as cap overhang resurfaces

BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. edged up 1.4% between the June 26 close and July 2, coming out of the quiet holiday stretch with a move that stands out for a stock just cut from the Russell Microcap Index after the latest FTSE Russell rebalance. BBAI finished the July 2 session at $3.53, down 3.02% on volume of 24.13 million shares. U.S. stock markets were closed July 3 for Independence Day observed, making July 2 the last equity trading day of the week. BBAI held up after the forced-flow date, but that doesn’t mean the stock is strong. Now the trade is less about index moves and more about whether there’s enough real demand, what the volume looks like, and if dilution
Nike stock finds support on tariffs despite flat North America profit

NIKE (NYSE:NKE) volume is key to stock rebound

NIKE, Inc. jumped 8.20% this week to close Thursday at $44.09 after buyers came back for the company’s margin recovery plan, while sales remained soft. The stock is still down 30.80% for 2026 and off 42.28% for the past year, according to MarketWatch data. Volume is the quieter story here. Nike traded about 54 million shares a day from Monday through Thursday, more than twice its typical volume, based on Investing.com. That kind of action argues against calling this just a holiday move. Barron’s pointed to Dow Jones Market Data showing U.S. exchange volume at 8.73 billion shares through midday Thursday, which is a bit above the year’s average.
Bitmine (BMNR) trails crypto assets after joining Russell 1000

Bitmine (BMNR) trails crypto assets after joining Russell 1000

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. heads into the new week with a simpler test than what happened with Thursday’s price action: will demand from the Russell 1000 index trim the gap between the stock and its reported crypto holdings? BMNR shares last traded Thursday, since the New York Stock Exchange marked Friday, July 3 as the Independence Day holiday. The stock finished at $14.36, gaining 1.48%. Shares moved between $14.24 and $15.25. Bitmine’s market cap is $8.18 billion, according to Investing.com.
Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS) stock in focus after Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) cloud report and $46 billion contract lineup

Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS) stock in focus after Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) cloud report and $46 billion contract lineup

Nebius Group N.V. isn’t trading in the U.S. through the holiday. The Nasdaq’s 2026 schedule has July 3 as a market holiday for Independence Day observed. So Thursday’s close stands as the last regular price until Monday. NBIS closed July 2 at $215.62, off $13.56, or 5.92%. MarketWatch listed after-hours at $215.89. About 24.9 million shares traded on the day, or 140% of the 65-day average. The stock fell 10.27% over the last five days.
Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) stock: light-volume 6.6% drop leaves AI chip bet at 67 times sales

Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) stock: light-volume 6.6% drop leaves AI chip bet at 67 times sales

Arm Holdings plc went into the long U.S. weekend with a sharp drop that looked heavier than the tape behind it. The shares fell 6.58% on Thursday to $315.28, the last regular session before Nasdaq shut on Friday for Independence Day observed. The less-watched number was the range. Arm traded from $358.49 to $309.74 on Thursday, a $48.75 band equal to about 15.5% of the close. Volume was 7.58 million shares, against a 65-day average of 10.92 million. That made the fall a thin pre-holiday warning, not a high-volume washout.
Dell (NYSE:DELL) faces $7.7B Texas test after recent drop

Dell (NYSE:DELL) faces $7.7B Texas test after recent drop

Dell Technologies Inc didn’t just offer an AI chart this holiday week. Shares dropped just 1.3% from last Friday’s close, but trading was volatile. The stock hit $438.52 Wednesday, then fell to $386.01 Thursday, finally closing at $394.32 before U.S. markets closed for Independence Day. The detail comes from a filing, not the tape. Dell said its redomestication from Delaware to Texas took effect July 1 at 12:01 a.m. Central. The company also disclosed that under Texas rules, no shareholder or group can file or run a derivative suit on Dell’s behalf against a director or officer unless they own at least 3% of total outstanding shares.
