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. The new service keeps data and operations strictly within EU rules, with data centres physically and legally isolated from AWS’s other servers. 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.

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 4:10 PM ET — After-hours Micron Technology shares climbed Thursday, finishing up 1.1% at $337.08 after slipping back from earlier gains.
