Costco stock rises as insider sale filing hits tape; key company dates ahead for COST

New York, January 12, 2026, 17:35 ET — After-hours trading Shares of Costco Wholesale Corp climbed nearly 2% on Monday, then held steady after hours following a regulatory filing revealing a senior executive’s stock sale.

CoreWeave stock (CRWV) jumps after CEO swats away Nvidia “circular financing” talk

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 17:20 ET — After-hours Shares of CoreWeave surged Monday, holding near their highs after the bell. The jump followed comments from CEO Michael Intrator, who doubled down on the company’s business model, catching investors’ interest. The spark matters because the stock has become a proxy for a larger question: is renting out GPU capacity still profitable given the fast pace of hardware upgrades and the pressure from heavy debt loads? GPUs—the graphics chips—do most of the grunt work in AI model training and operation. CoreWeave has come under fire for “circular financing”—a setup where a

New York, Feb 7, 2026, 05:50 EST — Market closed.
