Wall Street will look to build on a dramatic Friday turnaround that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average close above 50,000 for the first time, while a 2% daily rally in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite wiped away some of the pain felt earlier in the week.

When the closing bell rang on Friday, the tech-heavy Nasdaq still logged its fourth straight losing week, falling nearly 3%, as investor concerns over AI-related disruption across software names, in particular, dominated most of the trading action.

With a weekly loss, the S&P 500 has also dropped in three out of the last four weeks.

Both the Dow and the S&P 500 are up for the year, while the Nasdaq has now forfeited its year-to-date gains. Yahoo Finance reports.

🗓️ Monday.com’s stock makes fresh low ahead of earnings – will the tide shift?

Monday.com’s stock has been under significant pressure in recent months, starting 2026 with a 31.67% decline and hitting a new low of $92.73 during Friday’s session.

With earnings due this morning, the stock has found a semblance of a bounce, coming into the print at $98 after an intraday rebound, yet still sharply lower, down 70% on a rolling 12-month basis.

🚗 Nio price target trimmed as analyst stays bullish on the stock

Nio’s stock closed the previous week with a notable 7.23% gain, pushing the shares back above the $5 level following a solid profit alert from the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer.

Despite the recent price strength, JPMorgan analyst Nick Lai trimmed the firm’s price target on Nio to $7 from $8, while maintaining an overweight rating on the shares.

The revision reflects growing concerns about the broader Chinese automotive landscape, with JPMorgan forecasting that China’s auto industry will underperform in 2026 as underlying passenger vehicle growth slips into negative territory.

The firm has also cut its earnings forecast for Nio’s domestic peer Li Auto to a loss this year, citing falling sales volumes and deteriorating margins across the sector. AskTraders reports.


🖥️ Dynatrace stock price under pressure into earnings: what to expect

The stock is down 20.40% since the start of the year and 45% on a one-year basis, although it is bouncing slightly in premarket trading, up 3.86% ahead of the report.

Consensus expectations stand at $506.2 million in revenue and $0.41 in earnings per share, representing 16% and 10.8% year-over-year growth respectively.

Revenue growth, however, marks a deceleration from the 19.5% posted in the same quarter last year. AskTraders reports.


🧠 Micron shut out of Nvidia’s HBM4 plan as specs get tougher

SemiAnalysis reported that Nvidia plans to source HBM4 for its next-generation “Vera Rubin” AI chips almost entirely from SK Hynix and Samsung, with Micron Technology no longer in the mix.

The firm cut Micron’s projected HBM4 share for Vera Rubin to zero and now expects SK Hynix to supply about 70% and Samsung roughly 30%, according to the Chosun Daily.
