Micron stock jumps as Taiwan report flags 30% rise in memory testing, packaging prices

Micron stock jumps as Taiwan report flags 30% rise in memory testing, packaging prices

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:35 EST — Regular session Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 5.5% to $345.09 in early New York trading on Monday after a Taiwanese media report said memory-chip testing and packaging firms have started lifting prices by up to 30%. (UDN) The timing matters. Packaging and testing sit at the back end of the supply chain, and tight capacity there can slow shipments even if chipmakers push wafer output higher. For Micron, any sign of a bottleneck tends to pull attention back to pricing power. The work is known as OSAT — outsourced semiconductor assembly and

Apple stock ticks higher after iPhone 17 helps Apple top 2025 shipments — what AAPL investors watch next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:37 (EST) — Regular session Apple (AAPL.O) shares rose 0.1% to $259.37 in early trade on Monday after Counterpoint Research data showed the iPhone maker led global smartphone shipments in 2025, even as U.S. stocks opened lower. Apple held a 20% share, ahead of Samsung’s 19% and Xiaomi’s 13%, with Counterpoint analyst Varun Mishra pointing to “solid demand in emerging and mid-sized markets” and strong iPhone 17 sales. Counterpoint research director Tarun Pathak said the smartphone market could soften in 2026 as chip shortages and higher component costs bite, with chipmakers prioritising AI data centres

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:45 ET — Regular session Intel Corp shares slipped 1.8% to $44.73 Monday morning, pressured by cautious analyst commentary following last week’s surge in the chipmaker’s stock. The wider market showed weakness as well, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF falling roughly 0.4% and the iShares Semiconductor ETF retreating about 0.7%. The dip is significant because Intel’s rally owes more to a long-term wager than to immediate earnings. Investors are banking on its manufacturing revival and U.S. political support to reshape outlooks for 2026 and later. Monday’s trading highlighted how swiftly that optimism can clash

Nvidia stock slips early as traders eye China chip demand, TSMC outlook and CPI

Nvidia stock slips early as traders eye China chip demand, TSMC outlook and CPI

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares dipped slightly in early Monday trading, falling around 0.1% to $184.86. The drop followed a slip in U.S. futures as investors remained wary of big-cap growth stocks. Timing is critical. This week packs a heavy slate of macro data and earnings reports, and traders have quickly sold off AI-related gains whenever bond yields spike or policy risks emerge. Wall Street futures dipped earlier after the White House renewed pressure on the Federal Reserve, raising fresh doubts about the Fed’s independence—a concern that often weighs on rate-sensitive tech

Broadcom stock pops early as traders brace for CPI and chip-demand readouts

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:36 EST — Regular session Shares of Broadcom Inc surged 3.7% to $344.97 during early trading in New York on Monday, pushing further gains for the chipmaker. The shift happens as investors brace for Tuesday’s U.S. consumer price index report for December, set for 8:30 a.m. ET. That data has the power to rattle Treasury yields and ripple through high-growth tech stocks. (Bureau of Labor Statistics) Markets are grappling with new doubts over the Fed’s independence after Chair Jerome Powell revealed the Justice Department issued subpoenas warning of a possible criminal indictment linked to his

Modine (MOD) stock heads into Monday in the crosshairs as Nvidia’s “no-chiller” claim lingers

New York, January 11, 2026, 21:46 EST — Market closed Modine Manufacturing Co shares closed Friday at $125.14, up 4.3% ahead of Monday’s U.S. session. The stock fluctuated between $119.31 and $127.71 during the day, rebounding from an earlier dip this week to an intraday low of $111.18. (Investing.com) The rebound comes as investors debate whether new AI chips will shift how data centers handle cooling. “Chips will continue to get more efficient but also more powerful, leading to total cooling needs growing,” Matthew Sallee from Tortoise Capital told MarketWatch. He noted that Modine trades at roughly 11.5 times next

CVR Energy stock in focus: oil risk, refiner peers and the data that could move CVI this week

New York, January 11, 2026, 21:42 (EST) — Market closed CVR Energy shares dropped 2.8% to close at $22.97 on Friday. Valero slid 3.2%, Marathon Petroleum edged down 0.5%, and PBF Energy bucked the trend with a 1.9% rise. Heading into Monday, CVI is left juggling the familiar two factors for refiners: crude prices and the “crack spread,” which measures the difference between wholesale fuel prices and crude, serving as a quick proxy for margins. Timing is crucial as refiners react headline by headline to supply updates. U.S. inventory reports can jolt gasoline and diesel prices, even if crude remains

Hudson Pacific Properties stock: what to watch after BMO downgrade bruises HPP shares

Hudson Pacific Properties stock: what to watch after BMO downgrade bruises HPP shares

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 21:36 EST — The market has closed. Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP.N) shares enter Monday down 3.5% from Friday’s close, as a fresh analyst downgrade raises doubts about the office-and-studio landlord’s recovery prospects. The stock closed at $9.72, swinging between $9.55 and $10.07 on roughly 2.6 million shares traded. The timing is crucial. With U.S. markets closed over the weekend, investors have had a chance to sift through what will actually shift battered office REITs — and what won’t — amid persistently high borrowing costs and cautious lenders. Hudson Pacific faces pressure from two volatile factors:

Acuity Inc stock heads into Monday: Q2 “backlog” fade is the big watch

New York, January 11, 2026, 21:26 (ET) — Market closed Acuity Inc shares last traded at $325.55, up about 0.9% from the prior close, with investors set to revisit the name when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after a choppy post-earnings week. The timing matters. Acuity is in the middle of a pitch shift — less “lighting cycle,” more “industrial tech” — and traders have been quick to punish anything that hints at a demand air pocket. Acuity’s quarter was also the kind that can cut two ways in the tape: strong reported growth, but with moving parts. Investors are

Hecla Mining stock (HL): Gold hits a record — here’s what could move the silver miner next

New York, January 11, 2026, 21:10 EST — The market has closed. Hecla Mining Company shares jumped 6.8% to close at $22.45 on Friday, with around 20.4 million shares changing hands ahead of the U.S. market’s weekend pause. The shift is significant going into Monday since Hecla acts as a high-beta stand-in for silver and gold. When bullion prices change, miners often swing even more sharply—revenues adjust quickly, while many costs lag behind. The macro backdrop is driving moves now. U.S. inflation data kicks off a busy week, with rate expectations shifting fast. Those changes usually hit the dollar and
