NEW YORK, Jan 22, 2026, 16:50 EST — After-hours Alphabet’s non-voting Class C shares (GOOG) jumped roughly 0.7% to $330.84 in after-hours trading Thursday, following Raymond James’ upgrade to “Strong Buy” and a boosted price target of $400.

New York, January 22, 2026, 16:46 (ET) — After-hours Broadcom Inc. shares slipped roughly 1% in after-hours trading Thursday, erasing earlier gains and ending a choppy session lower. The stock last traded down $3.43, or 1%, at $325.49, after fluctuating between $336.93 and $324.84.

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 16:32 ET — After-hours Apple shares ended Thursday up 0.28% at $248.35 but dipped 0.03% in after-hours trading. The stock faced pressure from a new legal challenge in India, even as megacap tech stocks rallied more broadly.

Amazon stock price lifts as AMZN sets Feb. 5 earnings call and tariff jitters ease

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 16:27 ET — After-hours Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) shares rose roughly 1.3% to $234.34 in after-hours trading Thursday, following the announcement that its next earnings report is scheduled for Feb. 5.

Broadcom stock dips after-hours as VMware OneGov discounts take center stage

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 16:32 (ET) — After-hours Broadcom Inc. shares dropped roughly 1% in after-hours on Thursday, bucking the broader U.S. stock gains. Investors remain focused on the chipmaker’s software pricing strategy and its VMware business. The stock last traded down 1.0% at $325.49. Why it matters now: Broadcom’s software unit is meant to smooth out earnings during chip downturns. But a major federal discount program throws up two signals on the trading floor — it could boost volumes, or it might signal pricing pressure creeping into certain areas of the stack. The stock hits a market that’s

Intel stock price whipsaws after earnings as weak outlook collides with supply squeeze

Intel stock price whipsaws after earnings as weak outlook collides with supply squeeze

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 4:36 PM EST — After-hours Intel (INTC.O) shares climbed 0.2% to $54.32 in after-hours trading Thursday, swinging between $50.17 and $55.29 as traders absorbed the quarterly earnings report. This move is significant since Intel’s shares have been surging ahead of the earnings, driven by optimism around an “AI server CPU” comeback and early progress in its manufacturing efforts. The real snag came not from the quarter itself, but from the outlook. Intel projected first-quarter revenue between $11.7 billion and $12.7 billion, with the midpoint falling short of analysts’ estimates. This comes despite the company beating

Micron stock climbs on fresh William Blair call as AI memory squeeze tightens

New York, January 22, 2026, 16:04 EST — After-hours Micron Technology shares climbed 1.6% to $395.54 in late Thursday trading following William Blair’s debut coverage with an Outperform rating on the U.S. memory-chip giant. Analyst Sebastien Naji highlighted that “advancements in AI compute are increasingly hindered by memory bottlenecks” in a firm note announcing the coverage launch. (William Blair) The timing is crucial as investors now see memory more as a bottleneck than a basic resource.
