BNAI stock whipsaws again: Brand Engagement Network drops as Africa AI deal stays in focus

New York, January 27, 2026, 12:26 (EST) — Regular session Brand Engagement Network’s shares dropped 11%, hitting $55.23 by midday after trading as low as $37.00 and as high as $57.45 earlier. The Nasdaq climbed roughly 1%, suggesting this was a move isolated to the stock. (Investing.com) The pullback comes after a surge that thrust the tiny Nasdaq stock into the spotlight, keeping spreads volatile. Traders are debating if a headline deal will generate steady revenue or simply add noise to a stock known for sharp moves on thin volume. Last week’s SEC filing revealed a strategic licensing and investment

Seagate stock jumps nearly 6% as Mizuho lifts target to $400 ahead of earnings

New York, Jan 27, 2026, 12:42 ET — Regular session Seagate Technology Holdings Plc shares rose 5.7% to $378.59 in midday trading on Tuesday after Mizuho raised its price target ahead of the data-storage maker’s quarterly results due after the bell. The stock hit a session high of $383.54. (GuruFocus) The move matters because Seagate’s report lands in a heavy earnings week, and investors have been using storage makers as a proxy for how fast cloud firms are expanding data centers for artificial intelligence work. Nearline drives — high-capacity hard disk drives used in data centers — sit at the

P&G stock slips after TD Cowen downgrade as Fed decision nears

New York, Jan 27, 2026, 12:40 EST — Regular session Procter & Gamble (PG.N) shares slipped roughly 0.3% to $149.00 in midday trading Tuesday, trailing a slight uptick in the broader market. The consumer staples sector showed little movement. This shift is significant since staples have long served as a market refuge, but that “safe” bet falters when consumers cut spending. For P&G, investors remain focused on volumes and pricing power as the key factors. U.S. consumer confidence dropped in January to its lowest point since 2014, the Conference Board reported, signaling trouble for companies selling everyday goods. “Consumers’ write-in

Abbott stock price today: ABT slips as CEO buy hits SEC filing after volatile week

New York, Jan 27, 2026, 12:35 ET — Regular session Shares of Abbott Laboratories dropped roughly 1.2% to $107.49 by midday Tuesday, erasing some of Monday’s gains. A Form 4 filing dated Jan. 26 revealed that Chairman and CEO Robert Ford purchased 18,800 shares on Jan. 23. (SEC) The stock’s volatility is significant as Abbott continues to grapple with fallout from last week’s quarterly update, which highlighted challenges in its nutrition segment. Ford’s acquisition offers a rare short-term signal to calm jitters, but it doesn’t resolve the underlying concerns that sparked the selloff. Tuesday’s action offered little support. The S&P

New York, Jan 27, 2026, 12:33 (ET) — Regular session KLA Corporation (KLAC) shares jumped 4.6% on Tuesday, hitting $1,615.45 at one point before settling around $1,613.30 by midday in New York. Chip-equipment shares gained momentum following Micron Technology’s announcement of a $24 billion memory-chip factory in Singapore, aimed at boosting production amid a global supply squeeze. TrendForce analyst Bryan Ao noted, “The market’s demand for high-performance storage equipment has been growing much faster than expected,” while also warning of potential price pressure in enterprise solid-state drives. (Reuters) This is crucial for KLA since its inspection and metrology systems —

Cisco stock rises again as Evercore turns bullish and partner shake-up hits tape

NEW YORK, Jan 27, 2026, 12:35 p.m. EST — Regular session Cisco Systems shares climbed roughly 1.5% to $78.18 on Tuesday, outpacing a broadly stronger U.S. market. Investors held onto the stock following Monday’s jump. This shift follows Evercore ISI’s upgrade of Cisco to “outperform” from “in-line,” with the price target raised to $100 from $80. The firm sees profit and revenue prospects beating consensus estimates. On Wall Street, an “outperform” rating means the stock is expected to exceed the average return within its coverage group.

Boeing stock turns higher after earnings; 737 MAX ramp and cash flow now in focus

New York, Jan 27, 2026, 12:23 (EST) — Regular session Boeing shares climbed 1.5% to $252.11 on Tuesday, recovering from a volatile open after the planemaker posted a fourth-quarter profit. Investors revisited its turnaround narrative amid the earnings update. (Reuters) The stock’s been behaving like a vote on Boeing’s ability to translate higher jet output into consistent cash flow, not just occasional gains. Investors want evidence the company can overcome the safety and production issues that surfaced after the Alaska Airlines 737 MAX panel incident in early 2024. (Reuters) That urgency comes through clearly in the questions. Regulators have capped

Lam Research stock jumps nearly 7% as Evercore lifts target with earnings next

New York, Jan 27, 2026, 11:34 (EST) — Regular session Lam Research shares jumped 6.7% to $237.70 in early trading Tuesday, hitting an intraday high of $237.88. The chip-equipment maker saw a swift move higher. The move thrusts Lam (LRCX) back into the spotlight just a day before quarterly results, which typically influence wafer-fab equipment spending—the budgets chipmakers allocate for new gear and factory upgrades. Traders are now weighing if this rally will hold up once guidance drops. Chip equipment stocks are gaining momentum as chipmakers gear up for heavier capital spending in 2026. TSMC, for example, plans to boost

ServiceNow stock drops nearly 3% as Jan. 28 earnings loom — what to watch next

New York, January 27, 2026, 11:46 (ET) — Regular session Shares of ServiceNow (NOW) slipped 2.9% to $132.39 in late-morning trading Tuesday, deepening their retreat ahead of the software company’s quarterly earnings report on Wednesday. The stock fluctuated between $130.95 and $137.42, with roughly 4.3 million shares traded. The timing is crucial. ServiceNow is set to report during a packed earnings week, where investors have been quick to punish software companies that miss guidance or signal weaker demand. Rate expectations are under fresh scrutiny, and growth stocks often react sharply to even minor tweaks in interest-rate forecasts. This happens even

Exxon Mobil stock price climbs as Gulf Coast freeze tightens oil; BYD tie-up, CCS launch add focus

New York, Jan 27, 2026, 12:12 EST — Regular session Exxon Mobil Corporation shares climbed $1.48, around 1.1%, to $136.32 on Tuesday, beating a more subdued broader market as oil prices gained traction. This move carries weight since Exxon serves as a key indicator for U.S. energy. Traders are recalibrating supply risks tied to weather after a winter storm struck the Gulf Coast’s oil and refining center. The announcement comes just days ahead of Exxon’s quarterly results, with investors zeroing in on refining margins and the impact of earlier quarter drops in crude and gas prices on upstream earnings.

New York, Jan 27, 2026, 12:07 ET — Regular session IREN Limited shares climbed 8.4% to $56.77 by midday Tuesday, hitting a high of $57.70 earlier. The stock started the day at $53.42 and has fluctuated between $52.91 and $57.70, with roughly 22.3 million shares changing hands. This shift is significant since IREN now acts as a high-beta proxy for two distinct trades that don’t always align: bitcoin-linked cash flows and demand for AI computing power. When either trend shifts, the stock tends to react sharply. Investors face a near-term milestone as IREN plans to report financial results for the

The warehouse retailer remains a favored pick for portfolios seeking steady demand and stability. With traders already on edge over rates, inflation, and jobs data, even minor shifts in a defensive consumer stock stand out. Costco’s calendar catches the eye of short-term traders.
