Meta stock rises after hours as new AI lab hits milestone, FTC appeal adds overhang

New York, January 21, 2026, 16:41 EST — After-hours Meta Platforms shares climbed 1.5% to $612.96 in after-hours trading Wednesday, driven by renewed focus on its AI efforts. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, CTO Andrew Bosworth revealed that Meta Superintelligence Labs rolled out its first major AI models internally this month, calling them “very good.” The company is clearly racing to keep up with rivals like Alphabet’s Google. Bosworth acknowledged there’s still “work to do post-training” before the tech can be widely released.

SanDisk stock hits a fresh record as Citi raises target and AI storage demand lifts SNDK

Shares of Sandisk surged 10.7% to $501.59 Wednesday, hitting a record high of $506 along the way. The rally has thrust the flash-memory producer into the market’s spotlight. The shift is driven by investors targeting a different slice of the AI surge: data storage. Citi analysts pointed to “solid hyperscaler demand supporting higher pricing,” which is boosting the outlook for NAND — flash memory widely used for data storage — and giving Sandisk a lift despite weaker PC and smartphone markets.

VIX slips below 20 as Trump pulls Greenland tariff threat and Wall Street steadies

Volatility eased on Wall Street Wednesday as the VIX slipped under 20, easing more than 8% to close at 18.43. Stocks pushed higher, with the S&P 500 up about 0.5% in afternoon trading, buoyed after President Donald Trump ruled out using force to acquire Greenland. “The market bounced when he said we wouldn’t use force,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide. The VIX, or Cboe Volatility Index, measures expected short-term swings in the S&P 500 based on option prices. When the VIX spikes, it means investors are paying up for protection, bracing for choppier markets.
