3M stock steadies in premarket after 7% earnings slide as 2026 outlook sinks in

3M stock steadies in premarket after 7% earnings slide as 2026 outlook sinks in

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:07 (EST) — Premarket 3M shares held steady in premarket trading Wednesday, following a sharp decline the day before. Investors are weighing the industrial giant’s 2026 outlook alongside mixed signals on end-market demand. The move matters because 3M’s reset under CEO William Brown has focused intensely on margins and cash conversion, even as volumes fluctuate. This week’s guidance will be the first major test of that strategy heading into 2026. The timing is tricky for U.S. industrials: stocks have been slipping, and traders are quick to slam forecasts that don’t offer much upside. 3M was

Delta stock heads into the open after a 4% slide as tariff jitters and new “basic” premium fares hit focus

Delta stock heads into the open after a 4% slide as tariff jitters and new “basic” premium fares hit focus

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:06 ET — Premarket Delta Air Lines shares, which fell 4.2% to close at $67.46 on Tuesday, looked poised for a volatile start to Wednesday’s session, adding to the pressure on travel and leisure stocks. This shift is crucial now, with airlines caught between consumer spending trends and fluctuating fuel prices. Investors are wrestling with whether luxury travel demand will stay resilient amid turbulent macroeconomic news. Tuesday’s sell-off hit broad sectors. Investors pulled back from stocks and risky assets after U.S. President Donald Trump renewed tariff threats targeting Europe over Greenland. The Dow, S&P 500,

Constellation Brands (STZ) stock cools in premarket after Tuesday pop — what matters now

Constellation Brands (STZ) stock cools in premarket after Tuesday pop — what matters now

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 08:04 EST — Premarket Constellation Brands shares slipped roughly 0.5% to $162.87 in premarket action Wednesday, following a 4.47% gain that pushed the stock to $163.64 at Tuesday’s close. (Investing.com) The move may seem small, but it keeps the stock under the spotlight following a rare strong session. Traders remain uncertain about what “normal” beer demand will look like after a volatile period in late 2025 and early 2026. Constellation’s beer segment stands out in a sluggish U.S. alcohol market and ranks among the major consumer players linked to Hispanic spending trends. That group, however,

Dell stock steadies premarket after Morgan Stanley cuts target and warns on 2026 hardware budgets

Dell stock steadies premarket after Morgan Stanley cuts target and warns on 2026 hardware budgets

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 07:57 EST — Premarket Dell Technologies Inc shares ticked up around 0.2% to $111.27 in premarket trading Wednesday, rebounding slightly after a 7.9% drop the day before. The stock’s slid about 13% since January began. (StockAnalysis) This matters since Dell is caught between two shaky sectors: corporate PC upgrades and enterprise servers and storage. When analysts shift focus from product cycles to budgets, traders often retreat quickly, holding their questions for later. One downgrade alone rarely sinks a stock. Yet the hardware sector is acting like it’s just one pricing misstep from losing customers— and

Nvidia CEO Huang plans China trip as H200 exports spark ‘nukes’ warning at Davos

Nvidia CEO Huang plans China trip as H200 exports spark ‘nukes’ warning at Davos

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 21, 2026, 13:07 CET Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang plans a late-January visit to China, Bloomberg News reported, as the chipmaker tries to reopen sales of its H200 AI processors. (Bloomberg.com) This matters now because Washington has started loosening a ban on shipping advanced chips to China, reviving a business Nvidia and rivals like AMD have largely been locked out of. The Trump administration last week cleared exports of the H200 — a graphics processing unit, or GPU, used to train and run AI models — under Commerce Department rules that include third-party testing and a cap on

BlackRock stock set for cautious open after BLK slides 4.6% on tariff shock

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 07:43 EST — Premarket Shares of BlackRock, Inc. (BLK.N) grabbed attention before Wednesday’s open, following a 4.6% drop to $1,110.05 in the prior session amid a wider selloff in U.S. stocks. These shifts carry weight since BlackRock stands as the globe’s largest asset manager, with its fees tied directly to assets under management—the cash it oversees for clients. Last week, the company reported closing 2025 with roughly $14 trillion in assets and a record-setting $698 billion in net inflows for the full year.

Brent crude price slips below $65 as traders brace for U.S. stockpile build

London, January 21, 2026, 12:19 GMT — Regular session. Brent crude futures slipped on Wednesday, retreating slightly from gains made in the prior session as traders digested upcoming U.S. crude inventory data alongside fresh geopolitical tensions. By 1125 GMT, Brent had dropped 12 cents, or 0.2%, to $64.80 a barrel. (Reuters) Brent dipped after Tuesday’s close at $64.92, which was up 1.53%, boosted by a brief outage at Kazakhstan’s Tengiz and Korolev oilfields and stronger Chinese economic figures. Ajay Parmar, ICIS director of energy and refining, described the disruption as “temporary,” but warned that ongoing tariff tensions might weigh on

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 07:39 (EST) — Premarket Lithium prices in China rose once more on Wednesday, with battery-grade lithium carbonate hitting 158,500 yuan ($20,092 a metric ton, VAT excluded), up 3.9% from the previous day, according to Shanghai Metals Market data. (Metal) Lithium carbonate is crucial now, as it’s a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries. When its price jumps, battery and cathode manufacturers feel it first, which then ripples into contract negotiations with miners and processors. In the physical market, SMM priced battery-grade lithium carbonate between 155,000 and 162,000 yuan per tonne, averaging 158,500 yuan. The leading lithium

Heating Oil Price Jumps as Cold Snap Looms and Inventory Data Takes Center Stage

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 07:37 EST — Premarket U.S. heating oil futures rose in early Wednesday trading, gaining ground faster than crude amid bets on colder weather and new inventory data. NYMEX ULSD March contracts climbed 4.66 cents to $2.3443 a gallon. At the same time, WTI crude inched up 18 cents, reaching $60.54 a barrel. (Barchart.com) This shift is crucial since ULSD serves as the primary U.S. diesel benchmark and a stand-in for heating oil used in homes, particularly across the Northeast.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 11 cents, settling at $60.25. Traders cited expectations of rising U.S. inventories and weaker demand outlooks.
