New York, Jan 6, 2026, 16:21 EST — After-hours Nvidia (NVDA) shares dipped in after-hours trading on Tuesday after CEO Jensen Huang said purchase orders, not a public declaration, would signal when Chinese customers can buy the company’s H200 data-center AI chip, a predecessor to its current flagship Blackwell products.

Tesla stock slides 4% as Germany, UK sales data flag Europe pressure ahead of earnings

New York, January 6, 2026, 16:15 EST — After-hours Tesla shares closed down 4.1% at $433.18 on Tuesday, after swinging between $428.82 and $452.25 in a heavy-volume session.

Apple stock slips on App Store slowdown signal — what Wall Street is watching next

NEW YORK, January 6, 2026, 16:13 (ET) — After-hours Apple Inc shares fell 1.8% on Tuesday to $262.34, sliding as traders weighed fresh signals that App Store spending growth is cooling ahead of the iPhone maker’s next earnings report. That matters because investors have leaned harder on services for proof Apple can grow beyond hardware cycles, and App Store trends often shape expectations for the company’s services line before official results. With Apple valued at roughly 30 times earnings, a price-to-earnings multiple that shows how much investors pay for each dollar of profit, the stock can react sharply to small

Nu Holdings stock slips after record close: jobs report and Q4 earnings in focus
