Adobe stock hit by a fresh downgrade — here’s what to watch before Monday

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 05:32 EST — Market closed. Adobe shares ended Friday lower after a BMO Capital Markets downgrade, setting a cautious tone heading into the new week. The stock closed down about 1.5% at $333.95, after trading as low as $328.00. The downgrade matters now because Adobe is trying to prove it can turn its newer artificial-intelligence features into steady sales without losing price power. That argument has turned sharper as cheaper design tools spread among smaller customers, where Adobe has long relied on habit and workflow lock-in. It also stood out because the broader tape was

Coca-Cola stock closes higher; what could move KO next week

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 05:10 (EST) — Market closed Coca-Cola shares closed Friday up 1.6%, finishing at $70.51. After a rocky start to 2026, the stock heads into the weekend with a modest boost. As U.S. markets reopen Monday, traders are shifting focus from Friday’s close to the upcoming week’s inflation and consumer-demand reports. (Yahoo Finance) This is key since Coca-Cola occupies the consumer staples sector, which investors frequently view as a “bond proxy” — reliable cash flows and dividends paired with a sensitivity to Treasury yields. When inflation data shifts rate expectations, staples stocks can react even without

New York, January 11, 2026, 05:24 EST — The market has closed. The Trade Desk shares closed Friday at $37.29, showing little movement as investors braced for a week packed with macroeconomic events. The ad-tech stock remains in search of a stable footing after a tough run. Stifel stuck with a Buy rating and named The Trade Desk its top pick in ad tech. Analyst Mark Kelley said that as election-cycle impacts wane, the comparisons “should start to look significantly better in 2Q and beyond.” (Investing.com) This matters because digital advertising stocks often act as a proxy for growth sentiment

Investors now face a White House directive aimed at curbing dividends and stock buybacks by major defense contractors.
