Amphenol stock slides after Nvidia’s Rubin “cable-free” reveal; focus turns to Jan. 28 earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 19:53 EST — After-hours Amphenol Corp (APH.N) shares ended down 1.8% at $138.91 on Wednesday, after a sharp bout of volatility earlier in the week tied to investor nerves about the next generation of AI hardware. The move matters because Amphenol has become a crowded way to play data-center buildouts — and those bets can turn fast when big customers change designs. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang this week described linking Rubin chips into “pods” of more than 1,000, saying they could lift the efficiency of generating “tokens” — the basic unit of AI output —

Nike stock drops after-hours after sale of NFT unit RTFKT, RBC trims target

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 7:43 PM EST — After-hours Nike (NKE) shares fell on Wednesday after the company sold RTFKT, its digital products subsidiary, retreating further from blockchain-based collectibles known as NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. A Nike spokesperson said RTFKT “transitioned to a new owner on December 17,” and Nike declined to disclose terms or the buyer.

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 19:32 EST — After-hours BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc shares were last down 6% at $30.36 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after a choppy session that saw the stock swing between $30.24 and $32.81.

Accenture plc stock slips after Faculty AI deal; what traders watch next

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 7:39 PM EST — After-hours Accenture plc shares were little changed in after-hours trade on Wednesday, last at $273.98 after ending the regular session down 0.7%. The pullback came as investors sized up Accenture’s latest bet on artificial intelligence, and a broader market that has started to look more selective.

Dallas, Jan 7, 2026, 18:04 CST Salad and Go said on Wednesday it will close all remaining restaurants in Texas and Oklahoma, pulling the drive-thru salad chain out of two states that had become its main growth markets outside Arizona. The move lands as the company tries to reset after a rapid buildout and then a first wave of closures announced in September. It is now shrinking back to a smaller footprint it says it can run better, with fewer moving parts and less distance between its kitchens and stores.
