Zhongji Innolight (300308.SZ) stock: what the stake-sale update means for the week ahead

Shanghai, Jan 18, 2026, 07:16 CST — Market closed. Zhongji Innolight Co., Ltd reported that its controlling shareholder has wrapped up a planned share sale, according to a filing published after Friday’s close. The update arrives as mainland markets remain closed for the weekend, leaving investors to speculate if the ended selling plan will cool pressure on the stock once trading restarts. This matters because heavy selling by major holders often sets a ceiling in China’s A-share market, where “A shares” are yuan-denominated stocks traded on mainland exchanges. Even when such sales are signaled in advance, traders tend to see

Analog Devices stock dips into MLK break as Wall Street turns more bullish — what to watch next

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 17:51 EST — Market closed. Analog Devices shares slipped 0.6% to end Friday at $300.25, retreating from an earlier peak of $309.26, a 52-week high. Trading volume reached roughly 4.3 million shares. The intraday reversal is significant since ADI is seen as a bellwether for the “analog” chip cycle — the slower, industrial-focused segment of semiconductors that usually lags the headline AI stocks. When it’s near the peak of its range, even small shifts can shake it up. U.S. markets will be closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, reopening Tuesday. Investors
