Rivian stock sinks on UBS sell call as Wall Street cools on AI, R2 hype

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:54 EST — Regular session Rivian Automotive shares dropped roughly 7.6%, closing at $17.42 Wednesday afternoon, following UBS’s downgrade of the EV maker to “Sell.” (Investing.com) Investors have been banking on Rivian’s autonomy and software angle, hoping the cheaper R2 model will boost sales. But with 2025 deliveries dropping 18% and barely hitting estimates, the pressure mounts on the next product cycle and the earnings outlook. (Reuters) UBS analyst Joseph Spak highlighted “elevated expectations” surrounding AI and the upcoming R2, adding that “most AI-related news is already reflected” in the stock. He also noted “limited

Unity Software stock sinks nearly 8% as Wall Street eyes Feb. 11 earnings

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:50 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Unity Software Inc fell 7.8% to $42.12 in late-afternoon trading Wednesday, deepening a selloff among high-growth software names. The videogame development tools firm touched a low of $40.76 during the session, down from $45.67 at Tuesday’s close. This shift is crucial as Unity faces two immediate challenges that could rapidly alter forecasts: an earnings report on the horizon and recent subscription price adjustments. With markets jittery over interest rates, investors have little tolerance for stocks relying on consistent execution to support their valuations. Unity announced Wednesday that it

Via Transportation stock tumbles 10% in late trade as Goldman upgrade meets a weak tape

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:53 EST — Regular session. Via Transportation shares slid 10.2% to $24.14 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, giving back earlier gains and lagging a weaker tech-heavy market. The stock swung between $23.70 and $27.49 on the day. The move lands as investors look for a clear catalyst in a stock that has whipped around since its September listing.

AppLovin stock drops despite new Evercore “Outperform” call as tech slides

New York, January 14, 2026, 15:51 EST — Regular session AppLovin shares dropped 7.3% to $619.79 in afternoon trading Wednesday, despite Evercore ISI kicking off coverage with an Outperform rating and a $835 price target. The day before, Morgan Stanley lifted its price target to $800 and maintained an Overweight rating, according to GuruFocus. (GuruFocus) The move came as U.S. stocks slipped, dragged down by tech and financial sectors, with the Nasdaq retreating 1.35%. “After a nice run, and so-so or mediocre earnings, you’re seeing profit-taking and consolidation,” Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading, said.

Pearson plc stock tumbles on New Jersey contract loss — what investors watch next

Pearson plc stock tumbles on New Jersey contract loss — what investors watch next

London, Jan 14, 2026, 20:39 GMT — Market closed. Pearson shares closed down 9.55% at £9.73 on Wednesday, after the education company said it lost a U.S. student assessment contract in New Jersey that will weigh on the first half of 2026. The fall made it the FTSE 100’s biggest decliner even as the index finished at a record high. (MarketWatch) The setback matters because Pearson’s Assessment & Qualifications division is its biggest business, and U.S. testing work can hinge on periodic state tenders. Chief Financial Officer Sally Johnson said the lost New Jersey contract was worth 20 million to

Lumentum stock slides late Wednesday as tech selloff hits “AI optics” names ahead of earnings

Lumentum stock slides late Wednesday as tech selloff hits “AI optics” names ahead of earnings

New York, January 14, 2026, 15:44 EST — Regular session Lumentum Holdings Inc shares dropped 8.6% to $330.40 in late trading Wednesday, slipping further after hitting $363 earlier in the day. The optical components maker continues to see volatile moves. The selloff is significant since Lumentum serves as a high-beta proxy for data-center expansions, with its shares often swinging wildly when investors pull back from tech. With earnings around the corner, traders are viewing price moves more as shifts in positioning than fresh news. U.S. stocks dipped Wednesday, with tech and financial sectors dragging the Nasdaq down over 1%, as

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:32 EST — Regular session Shares of Dave Inc (DAVE.O) dropped 12.5% to $185.35 in afternoon trading Wednesday, after hitting a high of $212.40 earlier. The stock slipped $26.37 from Tuesday’s close, with roughly 765,000 shares changing hands. The slide follows Washington’s move to bring card fees back under scrutiny. On Tuesday, Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall reintroduced the Credit Card Competition Act, with Durbin’s office confirming President Donald Trump’s support for the bill. For Dave, the politics hit a tangible line item. A quarterly filing reveals the company collects “interchange” fees from customers

Navan stock slides nearly 11% as law-firm probes mount; what investors watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 3:36 p.m. EST — Regular session. Navan shares dropped almost 11% to $15.38 in late afternoon trading Wednesday, deepening a volatile stretch for the corporate travel-and-expense software company since its Nasdaq debut. Airbnb, Expedia and Booking Holdings also slipped, though their declines were more modest. This move is significant since Navan remains stuck in the market’s “new IPO” penalty box. Its initial public offering was priced at $25 back in late October, but the stock has frequently slipped below that mark as investors gauge how much growth they’re ready to back in a company linked

New York, January 14, 2026, 15:03 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Trip.com Group Limited’s U.S.-listed depositary receipts dropped 17.7% to $62.26 in Wednesday afternoon trading. The company revealed it is under investigation by China’s market regulator. Trip.com (Nasdaq: TCOM; HKEX: 9961) said it will cooperate fully and assured that its operations continue as usual.

Praxis Precision Medicines (PRAX) stock jumps after Devinsky hire as FDA filings loom

New York, January 14, 2026, 14:54 EST — During regular session Shares of Praxis Precision Medicines jumped roughly 8% on Wednesday, bucking the weaker trend in the broader market. By mid-afternoon, the Nasdaq-listed biotech was trading at $303.23, up $22.40.

Sasol stock jumps 6% as oil climbs and South Africa tariff talks heat up

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 14:40 EST — Regular session Sasol Limited’s U.S.-listed shares jumped roughly 6.4% to $7.52 on Wednesday, hitting $7.53 at one point—marking their best level in at least a year. This gain stood out against a weaker broader U.S. market in afternoon trading. (https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/SSL/) The jump matters because Sasol’s earnings hinge on crude prices and the rand: oil influences fuel and chemical costs, while currency moves affect how dollar-based sales translate locally. Traders are also watching South Africa’s fuel demand, which has shown erratic data. This week stands out because the forces at play are tugging
