Lam Research stock (LRCX) jumps on Mizuho target hike — what to watch into Monday and the week ahead

New York, January 11, 2026, 14:32 ET — The market is now closed. Shares of Lam Research (LRCX) surged 8.7% on Friday following Mizuho’s boost of its price target to $220 from $200.

New York, January 11, 2026, 14:24 EST — The market has closed. American Express (AXP.N) faces renewed pressure Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a one-year freeze on credit-card interest rates, capping them at 10% starting Jan. 20.

New York, January 11, 2026, 14:15 EST — Market closed. Novartis AG’s U.S.-listed shares (NVS) closed Friday mostly flat.
