New York, Jan 15, 2026, 16:52 (EST) — After-hours Penumbra, Inc. shares jumped 11.8% to $350.49 in after-hours trading Thursday after Boston Scientific announced plans to acquire the clot-removal device maker in a roughly $14.5 billion deal. The stock reached an after-hours high of $369.84 but remained about $23 short of the $374 offer price, reflecting lingering merger risk and time before closing.

Walmart stock dips after hours as India Flipkart tax ruling and insider sale filing hit the tape

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 16:46 EST — After-hours. Walmart Inc shares slipped in after-hours trading on Thursday after India’s Supreme Court ruled that Tiger Global must pay tax on its 2018 sale of a Flipkart stake tied to Walmart’s takeover of the Indian e-commerce firm. The retailer’s shares were last down 0.7% at $119.20. The court decision is a reminder that India can still tighten the screws on treaty-based tax structures, a live issue for foreign funds and cross-border M&A. Flipkart sits at the heart of Walmart’s growth pitch outside the United States, and it competes with Amazon there.

A fresh copyright dispute adds another layer to the scene. It arrives as advertisers and regulators scrutinize Google’s use

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 16:58 EST — After-hours Applied Materials, Inc. shares jumped 5.7% to $319.08 in after-hours Thursday, building on a strong rally during the regular session as chipmaking-equipment stocks rallied on new indications of increased spending in 2026. This shift is significant since investors see toolmakers as a direct indicator of chipmakers’ plans for capacity expansion, particularly for advanced chips powering AI servers. When capital spending spikes, it usually means quicker order growth for deposition and etch equipment—exactly the type Applied manufactures. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the industry’s bellwether foundry, sparked the latest surge by raising the

CoreWeave stock jumps after hours as AI trade revives, lawsuit and insider sales stay in view

New York, January 15, 2026, 16:46 ET — After-hours trading CoreWeave (CRWV) shares climbed roughly 6% in after-hours trading Thursday, building on earlier gains. Investors moved back into AI-focused stocks, shrugging off new legal issues facing the company. This matters because CoreWeave now serves as a lightning-quick barometer for the “AI buildout” trade — the wager that chip and data-center demand will remain strong — and its stock has proven it can swing sharply on news just as much as on underlying fundamentals. This comes as investors reassess risk throughout the AI supply chain, where big spending and high leverage

Broadcom stock closes higher on TSMC-fueled chip rally — then slips after hours

New York, January 15, 2026, 16:36 ET — After-hours trading Broadcom shares ended Thursday’s session up, lifted by a bounce in chip stocks following a positive forecast from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), a major AI hardware supplier. However, the stock dipped in after-hours trading, where thinner volume often leads to sharper price moves. (Public) This move is significant since Broadcom has served as a litmus test for the entire “AI trade” — robust demand on one side, policy uncertainty on the other. This week’s trading has been volatile, with semiconductors swinging sharply on even minor headlines. This also highlights

New York, January 15, 2026, 16:22 EST — After-hours Amazon.com shares climbed about 0.7% to $238.20 in after-hours trading Thursday following the launch of a Europe-only “sovereign cloud” by its AWS unit.

Michael Hanisch, CTO of AWS Germany, said the setup could continue operating even if the EU lost internet access or if the U.S. restricted software exports. Microsoft and Alphabet’s Google are also targeting this regulated market segment. (Reuters) Timing is crucial. Europe’s drive for “digital sovereignty”

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 16:09 EST — After-hours Tesla (TSLA.O) shares slipped 0.2% to close at $438.45 on Thursday.
