Why Super Micro Computer stock is sliding: Goldman starts SMCI at Sell with $26 target

Why Super Micro Computer stock is sliding: Goldman starts SMCI at Sell with $26 target

Shares of Super Micro Computer dropped 6.3% to $28.22 Tuesday afternoon following Goldman Sachs analyst Katherine Murphy’s initiation of coverage with a Sell rating. She set a $26 price target, pointing to “limited visibility into improving profitability.” The warning comes as investors, once eager for artificial intelligence hardware, start focusing more on profit margins than just top-line growth. Super Micro’s shares have plunged almost 45% in the last three months, according to a Yahoo Finance report.

Wall Street slips on JPMorgan warning as December inflation holds at 2.7% — Visa, Mastercard tumble

U.S. stock indexes slipped on Tuesday as financials dragged after JPMorgan warned that a proposed cap on credit-card interest rates could hit consumers, hammering payment stocks. At 11:28 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 338.22 points, or 0.68%, the S&P 500 fell 0.29% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.21%. Visa slid 4.7% and Mastercard sank 5.3%, and traders still priced in at least two 25-basis-point cuts later this year; “The Fed is likely to take its time and absorb more data,” said Skyler Weinand, chief investment officer at Regan Capital. The fresh inflation data is one of the last big inputs for policymakers and investors before the Federal Reserve meets later this month. With the S&P 500 and Dow hovering near record highs, even a small wobble in rate expectations can spill into valuations, especially for rate-sensitive sectors.

Boeing stock jumps as deliveries hit 7-year high and orders beat Airbus

Boeing stock jumps as deliveries hit 7-year high and orders beat Airbus

Boeing shares jumped 2.6% to $246.04 in Tuesday afternoon trading following the announcement of its highest annual jet deliveries since 2018. The planemaker reported 600 aircraft delivered in 2025, a 72% increase, and net orders—bookings after cancellations—hit 1,075, surpassing Airbus’ 889. Airbus, however, still led in deliveries with 793 jets. Boeing’s finance chief said the company expects to generate positive cash flow in 2026, supported by increased commercial deliveries. Boeing’s cash flow hinges largely on jet deliveries, making the delivery count crucial. The company handed over 600 aircraft in 2025, a sharp rise from 348 the previous year, according to FlightGlobal. By year-end, Boeing’s backlog—the pool of unfulfilled orders—stood at 6,130 jets. FlightGlobal also reported that customers placed orders for 381 787 Dreamliners and 601 737s during the year.

Bharat Coking Coal IPO pulls in ₹1.1 lakh crore bids as grey-market signals lift debut hopes

Bharat Coking Coal IPO pulls in ₹1.1 lakh crore bids as grey-market signals lift debut hopes

Bharat Coking Coal’s initial public offering closed in India on Tuesday with demand running about 147 times the shares on offer, exchange data showed. The grey market premium — an unofficial price paid in off-market deals before listing — was around ₹11, implying a debut near ₹34 versus the top issue price of ₹23. The scramble comes despite choppy trading in domestic stocks, and it is a sharp test of risk appetite early in 2026. Bids topped ₹1.1 lakh crore for the ₹1,071-crore issue, with applications crossing 90 lakh, exchange data cited by the Economic Times showed. “Scarcity value” and a “monopolistic position” in prime coking coal are pulling investors in, Gaurav Garg, a research analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk, wrote.
