In The News:

Alphabet (GOOGL)

+0.11% 
On watch after Alphabet signed a long-term renewable power supply deal with TotalEnergies to support Google’s Malaysia data centers. The agreement runs 21 years and targets ~1 TWh of renewable electricity tied to a new solar project slated for construction in early 2026.

TotalEnergies (TTE)

-0.49% 
On watch after TotalEnergies inked a 21-year power supply deal with Google tied to renewables for Malaysia data centers, alongside a separate Ohio data-center power agreement previously signed. The company also disclosed an agreement to sell an indirect ~10% stake in a Malaysian offshore gas block to Thailand’s PTTEP (terms undisclosed).

Apple (AAPL)

-0.15% 
On watch after a coalition of app developers and consumer groups urged EU regulators to act against Apple’s fee structure under the Digital Markets Act, arguing it still disadvantages developers using alternative payments. This follows ongoing DMA enforcement pressure in Europe around steering and fees.

Citigroup (C)

-0.13% 
On watch after Citi completed the sale of a 25% stake in Banamex to a company owned by Mexican billionaire Fernando Chico Pardo and family. Management framed the closing as another step in its strategy to divest Banamex and refocus on institutional banking in Mexico.

Electronic Arts (EA)

-0.07% 
On watch after EA guided fiscal 2026 net bookings to ~$7.85B vs. Street ~$8.06B and adj. EBITDA to ~$2.76B vs. ~$2.93B consensus. The company cited softer consumer spending and higher console prices weighing on demand into the competitive holiday window.

Ford (F)

+1.25% 
On watch after Ford announced a $19.5B writedown and said it is killing several EV models, including scrapping a next-gen electric truck program (T3) and planned electric commercial vans. The company also said it will replace the fully electric F-150 Lightning with an extended-range electric model that uses a gas engine to recharge the battery.

Frontier Group Holdings (ULCC)

-0.17% 
On watch after Frontier announced CEO Barry Biffle is departing, with President James Dempsey named interim CEO effective immediately. Biffle will remain in an advisory role through Dec. 31.

Imperial Oil (IMO)

-0.09% 
On watch after Imperial said it plans to increase 2026 capex and upstream production as it leans further into higher-return oil sands projects and targets structural cash flow improvement. Management highlighted progress goals at Kearl and Cold Lake, while the company continues restructuring plans previously outlined.

Intel (INTC)

+1.20% 
On watch after Intel appointed Robin Colwell (an economic adviser within the Trump administration’s National Economic Council) to lead government affairs, following the vacancy after November’s U.S. elections. Intel also named James Chew as VP of Intel Government Technologies as it reshapes its government-facing unit.

Nasdaq (NDAQ)

-0.03% 
On watch after Nasdaq prepared to submit paperwork to the SEC to extend trading hours (toward near round-the-clock access), aiming to meet rising global demand for U.S. equities. The move is part of the broader market push toward expanded trading availability.

Ovintiv (OVV)

-0.35% 
Gapping down after Ovintiv announced a deal with a Pembina Pipeline subsidiary for liquefaction capacity at the planned Cedar LNG facility. The agreement provides 0.5 mtpa of liquefaction/transport capacity for 12 years, as LNG contracting activity picks up with expectations for higher exports.

PayPal (PYPL)

+1.38%
On watch after PayPal applied to establish a U.S. bank via an industrial loan company charter (filed with Utah regulators and the FDIC). If approved, the structure could support expanded small-business lending and reduce reliance on third parties.

Shell (SHEL)

-0.93% 
On watch after reports that Shell’s head of M&A Greg Gut departed following internal debate over a potential BP acquisition earlier this year. The situation underscores continued investor sensitivity around large-scale oil mega-deals and capital discipline.

Automatic Data Processing (ADP)

-0.50% 
On watch after Jefferies downgraded ADP to Underperform from Hold and cut its price target to $230 from $245, citing market saturation, scaled competition, and declining interest rates.

Conagra Brands (CAG)

-0.06% 
On watch after JPMorgan cut its price target to $19 from $20, citing expectations for a shortfall in organic sales growth and potential risk to consensus EPS in upcoming 2Q26 results.

Gates Industrial (GTES)

0.00% 
On watch after JPMorgan trimmed its price target to $32 from $33, pointing to near-term headwinds and a muted first half outlook. (Premarket prints were not shown on the quote at the time of this check.)

Generation Bio (GBIO)

-4.45% 
Gapping down after Jefferies downgraded GBIO to Hold from Buy and cut its target to $5 from $11, flagging that book value may not be effectively distributable given obligations including wind-down costs and commitments.

Guardant Health (GH)

-0.65%
On watch after Jefferies raised its price target to $130 from $115, citing tailwinds in therapy selection and the introduction of new Smart Liquid Biopsy applications.
