News:
The S&P
500 rose Friday as investors continued bullish bets on the AI-linked stocks
extending the rebound from a day earlier and pushing the broader tech sector
higher.
At 3:23 p.m. ET (20:23 GMT), the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose
222 points, or 0.5%, the S&P 500 index gained 0.9%, and the NASDAQ
Composite climbed 1.2%. That said, these
benchmarks are still on course for a losing week, with the broad-based S&P
500 and the blue chip Dow Jones Industrial Average down about 0.8% and 1%,
respectively. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite is also down 0.8% week to
date.
Amid a highly contentious merger process marked by rampant opposition,
the deciding shareholder meeting in STAAR Surgical’s
(NASDAQ:STAA) $1.6 billion sale to Alcon AG (NYSE:ALC) has been
postponed for a fourth time as the companies fail to win shareholder support.
Rocket Lab
USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:RKLB) stock jumped 4.1% in after-hours
trading Friday following the announcement of its largest contract to date, an
$816 million deal with the U.S. Space Development Agency (SDA).
Northrop
Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a contract to deliver
satellites for the Space Development Agency’s (SDA) Tracking Layer of Tranche 3
(TRKT3) program, the company announced Friday.
American Drive Acquisition Company closed its initial public offering on
December 19, 2025, raising $230 million in gross proceeds before fees and
expenses, according to a company statement.
Wells Fargo downgraded several large U.S. chemical companies, warning
that weak demand and limited visibility are likely to keep the sector in a
deeper trough through at least the first half of 2026.
The bank cut Air Products, Celanese, Eastman Chemical, and LyondellBasell to Equal Weight from Overweight, citing
signs that a recovery in chemicals is being pushed further out.
Oracle
(NYSE:ORCL) stock rallied Friday, aided by reports that the
software company was part of an American consortium that will buy social media
giant TikTok’s U.S. operations. Mizuho analysts said
the deal could help boost demand for Oracle’s non-artificial intelligence,
high-margin cloud business.
Other AI-linked stocks followed Oracle higher, with CoreWeave
Inc (NASDAQ:CRWV) among the biggest gainers as Citi
said the stock could double from current levels, while the cloud infrastructure
company also announced that it had joined the Department of Energy’s efforts
advance U.S. research and innovation.
FedEx
Corporation (NYSE:FDX) stock cut losses as the logistics and
delivery giant reported stronger-than-expected fiscal second quarter earnings,
but still flagged a highly challenging macro environment. Fedex’s
strong earnings and positive guidance was driven chiefly by ongoing
cost-cutting measures at the delivery giant.
Nike
(NYSE:NKE) stock slumped after the sportswear giant reported
shrinking quarterly margins and a decline in revenue in its Greater China
market during the fiscal second quarter, its sixth straight quarterly sales
decline in the country.
