Mastercard stock slips after UK fee-cap court loss as Washington targets swipe fees

Mastercard stock slips after UK fee-cap court loss as Washington targets swipe fees

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 18:21 EST — After-hours Mastercard Incorporated shares slipped in late trading on Thursday, tracking a dip in Visa, after a UK court rejected a challenge to a proposed cap on certain cross-border card fees. The decision lands as policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic circle the plumbing of card payments — a business built on fees that are easy to ignore when spending is strong and growth is clean. Interchange fees, sometimes called swipe fees, are the slice of a card purchase paid by the merchant’s bank to the card-issuing bank. They help fund

Bank of America stock steadies after earnings whiplash as rate-cap risk hangs over banks

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 18:26 EST — After-hours Shares of Bank of America Corp (BAC) inched higher in after-hours trading Thursday. Investors weighed the lender’s strong interest-income forecast against the ongoing efforts in Washington to cap credit-card rates. The stock climbed roughly 0.2% to $52.59. The upcoming session is crucial as major U.S. banks have become a play on rates and politics this week. Earnings provided fresh figures, yet the main focus remains on how much borrowing costs will drop — plus the potential impact of new consumer lending regulations. Bank of America faces unusually sharp tension. It serves

Morgan Stanley stock jumps after earnings beat as dealmaking fees surge

New York, January 15, 2026, 18:14 (EST) — Post-market trading Morgan Stanley shares rose 5.8% to $191.23 after U.S. markets closed Thursday, following better-than-expected fourth-quarter profits driven by stronger dealmaking. Investment banking revenue surged 47% to $2.41 billion. CFO Sharon Yeshaya told Reuters she sees an “accelerating pipeline” in M&A and IPOs — mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings.

UnitedHealth stock climbs as UnitedHealthcare rolls out fast-pay Medicare Advantage pilot for rural hospitals

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 18:09 EST — After-hours Shares of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated climbed $3.95, or 1.2%, to close at $338.96 on Thursday, beating the modest gains seen across the broader market. Attention turned back to the company’s government-backed insurance segment, where shifts in payment schedules, medical expenses, and policy changes can quickly alter market sentiment. UnitedHealthcare on Wednesday kicked off a six-month pilot to speed up Medicare Advantage payments for select independent rural hospitals in Oklahoma, Idaho, Minnesota, and Missouri. The goal: slash collection times to less than 15 days, down from under 30. The move comes as

New York, January 15, 2026, 18:10 EST — After-hours KLA Corp shares climbed 7.7% to $1,544.96 in after-hours trading Thursday, following a session that saw the stock fluctuate between $1,487.53 and $1,571.19. The boost came after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co exceeded expectations and raised its 2026 capital expenditure forecast to $52 billion-$56 billion. That increase sparked fresh optimism about chipmaking investments, with some analysts suggesting it could ease concerns over a slowdown in AI-driven demand. “The market has underestimated again how large is the demand for AI, and the implementation is going faster than everybody expected,” said Han Dieperink, chief

Visa stock dips after UK fee-cap ruling as stablecoin push builds into earnings

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:59 EST — After-hours Visa Inc (V) shares dipped 0.4% in after-hours trading Thursday, following a UK court ruling against Visa, Mastercard, and British fintech Revolut. Judge John Cavanagh upheld the Payments Systems Regulator’s authority to cap cross-border card fees, citing concerns that interchange fees were “unduly high.” David Geale, PSR managing director, said the judgment “confirms our powers to ensure card payment costs are fair for UK businesses and consumers.” Visa, meanwhile, cautioned that such caps could “negatively impact the value people and businesses receive” from card payments.

Rocket Lab stock slips on KeyBanc downgrade as insider sale filing lands

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:56 EST — After-hours Shares of Rocket Lab Corporation slipped Thursday following a downgrade from KeyBanc, halting a recent rally that had drawn attention to the space company’s valuation. The stock closed down 1.13% at $90.76 and later dipped another 0.53% to $90.28 in after-hours trading. (Investing.com) The downgrade hits hard because Rocket Lab is now seen as a high-beta proxy for “space-and-defense” enthusiasm, with its shares acting like they depend on fresh catalysts. In that environment, one company’s pullback can spark rapid selling. This follows a steep climb that leaves minimal margin for missteps,

Salesforce (CRM) shares fell 2.5% to $233.53 in after-hours trading on Thursday, keeping the cloud software maker in the crosshairs of a broader pullback in the sector.
