Tesla stock forecast 2026: Baird sticks with $548 target as robotaxi milestones loom

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:23 ET Baird maintained a $548 price target on Tesla (TSLA.O) heading into 2026 and said robotaxi-related updates are likely to be the year’s key stock drivers. Analyst Ben Kallo said his team wants to “own TSLA into the new year,” pointing to potential announcements on robotaxi service, approvals in China and the European Union, and updates on Optimus and the Tesla Semi. Baird said its target is tied to long-dated EBITDA — earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization — discounted back to year-end 2026.

American Express stock today: AXP slips into New Year’s market holiday as earnings loom

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:12 ET — Market closed American Express shares ended the year’s final session down about 0.9% at $369.95, as U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Reuters The move matters because the year-end pullback leaves AXP entering 2026 with positioning thin and catalysts clustered in January, including key economic data and the company’s next results.

Morgan Stanley stock ends 2025 lower as Wall Street shuts for New Year’s Day — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:09 ET — Market closed Morgan Stanley stock (NYSE: MS) ended the last trading day of 2025 lower, closing down 0.9% at $177.53 on Wednesday. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, according to the New York Stock Exchange calendar. Finviz+1 The pullback matters because bank and brokerage shares often move with interest-rate expectations, and the first stretch of January typically resets positioning after year-end. With trading desks lightly staffed around the holiday, even modest flows can push prices. Reuters For Morgan Stanley, the next big checkpoint is close: the investment bank

Newmont stock ends 2025 lower as gold cools — CEO handoff kicks off 2026 focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:12 ET — Market closed Newmont Corporation shares closed down 1.97% at $99.85 on Wednesday, the last trading day of 2025, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Wall Street Journal The move matters because gold miners often magnify swings in bullion: costs are relatively fixed in the short run, so small changes in gold prices can quickly change expected cash generation. Newmont also begins 2026 with a leadership transition. The company said President and COO Natascha Viljoen became CEO on Jan. 1, joining the board, after Tom Palmer stepped

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:06 ET — Market closed. Synopsys shares last closed down about 1% at $469.72 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday.

DoorDash stock dips on year-end slide as markets shut for New Year’s Day — what’s next for DASH

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:00 ET — Market closed DoorDash, Inc. shares ended the last trading day of 2025 lower, mirroring a broad pullback that capped the year in thin holiday-week trading. The move matters because the first trading sessions of 2026 will test whether investors keep trimming higher-growth consumer internet names or rotate back into them as liquidity returns. For DoorDash, the near-term focus remains demand momentum and cost discipline, two drivers that can swing expectations quickly when the market’s appetite for risk shifts.

Apple stock forecast for 2026: Can AAPL reach $350 as AI questions linger?

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:56 ET Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives kept a $350 price target on Apple and listed the iPhone maker among his top five artificial-intelligence picks for 2026. “The elephant in the room remains the invisible AI strategy,” Ives wrote, saying Apple’s installed base of 2.4 billion iOS devices and 1.5 billion iPhones gives it leverage if it accelerates AI efforts. Business Insider The call lands as investors reset positions after U.S. stocks logged another year of double-digit gains, helped by enthusiasm around AI-focused names despite tariff uncertainty.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:51 ET Citizens Financial Group analyst Andrew Boone lifted his 12-month price target — an estimate of where a stock could trade — on Alphabet to $385, implying about 22% upside from Tuesday’s close. “We view AI search as a tailwind near term for query growth,” Boone wrote in a research note. TD Cowen’s John Blackledge and Evercore ISI’s Mark Mahaney also carry bullish ratings, with price targets of $350 and $325, respectively, Barron’s reported.
