GE Aerospace stock ticks up on leadership shake-up as investors eye earnings next week

New York, January 15, 2026, 14:14 EST — Market open GE Aerospace shares nudged higher Thursday following a leadership shake-up that merges its technology and operations group with the main commercial engines unit. The stock gained roughly 0.3%, reaching $319.97 in afternoon trading. The change arrives as investors zero in on execution ahead of next week’s quarterly report. The company is bringing together oversight of safety, quality, engineering, manufacturing, and aftermarket services — the areas that usually shape daily results and spark margin discussions. The aerospace sector is increasingly relying on engine services to stabilize revenue amid uneven aircraft deliveries.

Booking Holdings stock steadies as U.S. visa move keeps travel names on edge (BKNG)

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 14:10 ET — Regular session Booking Holdings Inc. common stock held steady Thursday after slipping the previous day, as investors weighed the U.S. move to suspend immigrant visa processing for dozens of countries and its potential hit to travel demand. This issue is especially urgent now, with online travel agencies playing a key role in cross-border travel. Any shift in U.S. entry, work, or settlement policies can ripple through airline routes, hotel reservations, and the wider travel system. The timing has put inbound travel rules under the microscope with the 2026 World Cup looming across

American Express stock barely budges after fresh loan data — what AXP investors are watching next

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 2:13 PM ET — Regular session Shares of American Express Company edged up roughly 0.1% to $358.54 on Thursday. The card issuer had just released fresh U.S. credit performance data, closely watched by investors as an early signal of potential loan losses. The update comes at a tricky time for the card and payments sector. Traders are eyeing signs of credit stress after the holidays, even as chatter from Washington on credit-card pricing rattles a group that until recently behaved like a dependable compounder. One policy risk on the horizon is President Donald Trump’s proposal

The networking giant announced it will host its second annual AI Summit on Feb. 3. Notable speakers lined up include Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. (Cisco Investor Relations) The event arrives amid a rush for AI-related plays, with traditional tech suppliers eager to prove they’ve got a role beyond just chips. For Cisco, the message is clear: increased AI computing drives demand for networking, security, and handling greater complexity. This matters because

Qualcomm stock slips as chip rally rolls on; QCOM eyes Feb. 4 earnings

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 14:09 EST — Regular session Shares of Qualcomm (QCOM.O) slipped $2.65, or 1.6%, to $161.89 in afternoon trading Thursday, after an earlier range between $167.30 and $161.05. The stock’s drop drew attention as chip stocks have been reacting sharply to policy news and initial earnings reports, with investors quick to punish those linked to weaker end markets. The spotlight now shifts to Qualcomm’s upcoming fiscal first-quarter earnings call set for Feb. 4. (Qualcomm Investor Relations) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s optimistic growth outlook boosted several major chip stocks, driving parts of the market up after two

Merck stock slips as FDA fast-track delays grab attention ahead of Feb. 3 earnings

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 13:56 EST — Regular session Shares of Merck & Co slipped 0.2% to $110.75 on Thursday, fluctuating within a range of $108.48 to $111.06 during the day. The shift arrives as investors adjust their outlook on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s new fast-track review process. Initially marketed as a shortcut, the effort is already encountering signs of pushback. The Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher program aims to slash review times to just one or two months for a select group of medicines. Merck has already landed vouchers for its experimental cholesterol drug enlicitide and a

Amphenol (APH) stock jumps 6% as Goldman lifts target and company tees up ADC India open offer

New York, January 15, 2026, 13:25 EST — Regular session Amphenol shares climbed about 6.4% to $156.13 in afternoon trading on Thursday, extending a sharp rally as investors weighed a fresh India open-offer update and new price-target increases from big banks. The move matters because Amphenol has become a crowded way to play spending on data centers and high-speed networking gear. It sells connectors and high-speed cable used across servers, storage and communications networks — the unglamorous parts that still get bought when capacity is tight. The stock’s jump also lands just ahead of the company’s quarterly report, when management’s

Bloom Energy stock jumps 8% as EIA flags data-center power surge

New York, January 15, 2026, 13:34 EST — Market open for regular trading. Shares of Bloom Energy Corp surged almost 8% on Thursday, hitting a new intraday peak during afternoon trading. The fuel-cell manufacturer last traded up 8.0% at $144.11. The shift came as investors zeroed in on firms tied to the growing electricity demand, particularly from data centers. Tristan Abbey, Administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, noted that electricity consumption “rises through 2027, driven largely by increasing demand from large computing facilities, including data centers.” (U.S. Energy Information Administration) Bloom sells solid oxide fuel cells—devices that produce electricity

ConocoPhillips stock slips in regular session as oil tumbles — what to watch before Feb. 5 earnings

New York, January 15, 2026, 13:34 (ET) — Regular session ConocoPhillips shares slipped 0.6% to $99.69 in early afternoon trading on Thursday, tracking a sharp drop in crude prices. Exxon Mobil fell 0.4%, Chevron lost 0.3% and Occidental Petroleum dropped about 2.4%. The move matters now because the market has been peeling back the “risk premium” in oil — the extra price traders pay when supply disruptions look more likely. When that cushion disappears, producers like ConocoPhillips usually feel it first. Investors are also juggling new company headlines and position-setting ahead of earnings. The stock has bounced in recent sessions,

Pfizer stock edges higher as vaccine-policy jitters and obesity race frame the next catalyst

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 13:24 EST — Regular session Pfizer shares edged up roughly 0.3% to $25.67 on Thursday, finding footing after a volatile start to the year. Investors mulled over renewed discussions on U.S. vaccine policy alongside Pfizer’s growth strategy. The stock fluctuated between $25.26 and $25.67, with about 22.3 million shares changing hands. Why it matters now: vaccine makers face fresh political and demand challenges in the U.S. Sanofi CEO Paul Hudson warned of near-term “softness” in vaccine uptake, blaming “misinformation.” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla expressed being “seriously frustrated,” labeling the trend as “political and antivax,” Reuters

AI stock slips again as Anthropic’s ‘Cowork’ puts C3.ai back in focus

New York, January 15, 2026, 13:32 ET — Regular session C3.ai’s shares slipped roughly 0.8% on Thursday, erasing part of the previous day’s rally as investors reevaluated software firms tied to the rapidly evolving AI tools market. Early afternoon trading saw the stock at $13.80. The newest pressure point is “agentic” software—AI that can operate across files and apps, not just respond to prompts. Anthropic is previewing a product called Cowork, targeting non-coders. Axios reported it’s currently limited to Claude Max users on macOS. (Axios) William Blair analyst Arjun Bhatia weighed in Thursday, calling the market’s reaction to public software
Morgan Stanley stock jumps as Wall Street deal talk returns after Q4 earnings

Morgan Stanley stock jumps as Wall Street deal talk returns after Q4 earnings

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 13:11 EST — Regular session Morgan Stanley shares were up about 5.9% at $191.41 in early afternoon trading on Thursday, after the bank posted its latest quarterly results and lifted its payout to shareholders. The move matters because big U.S. banks are setting the tone for earnings season, and Wall Street’s fee businesses can swing quickly when dealmaking and new listings thaw. Morgan Stanley is also a litmus test for the “real economy” side of the market — companies raising money, buying rivals, and wealthy clients staying invested when headlines turn noisy.
