Tesla stock rises as Musk puts a Feb. 14 deadline on buying Full Self-Driving outright

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 10:16 EST — Regular session Tesla shares climbed Thursday following CEO Elon Musk’s announcement that the company plans to eliminate the one-time purchase option for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software next month, switching buyers exclusively to a subscription model. (The Independent) This shift is key as investors now see Tesla more as a software and services company than just an automaker, especially with its quarterly results due later this month. Subscription income tends to be more stable than one-time sales, but it also raises sharper scrutiny on Tesla’s safety and self-driving promises. (The Independent) Musk

Exxon Mobil stock slips as oil plunges; Venezuela crude and UK gas deal loom for XOM

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 10:09 EST — Regular session Exxon Mobil Corp shares slipped Thursday morning, following a broader retreat in oil-related stocks. The stock fell 0.4%, settling at $129.63. This shift is crucial now, as the market has prioritized oil prices above all else. For Exxon, fluctuations in crude can rapidly alter forecasts for cash flow, share buybacks, and the company’s spending capacity without sacrificing returns. Company-specific headlines arrived at a tricky moment, as investors pivot toward earnings season. Now, the key trigger won’t be one standout story but rather how oil prices behave during the upcoming reports.

Citigroup stock rises 3% as earnings hangover fades and price targets climb

New York, January 15, 2026, 10:14 EST — Regular session Citigroup shares climbed roughly 3.3% to $116.11 in early Thursday trading, rallying past other major U.S. banks following a mixed initial response to its quarterly results. Investors remain torn on Citi’s value if its overhaul delivers more consistent profits — and whether political and regulatory hurdles will curb potential gains. The stock has shifted quickly from a “fix-it” narrative to a “prove it” challenge. The deal market’s comeback is a key draw. “We are seeing an accelerating pipeline in M&A and IPOs,” Morgan Stanley CFO Sharon Yeshaya told Reuters. Citi,

The move followed a Nikkei Asia report saying China is drafting rules to limit how many advanced AI chips local companies can import from suppliers like Nvidia.

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 08:53 (EST) — Premarket Intel shares were down about 0.5% in premarket trading on Thursday at $48.48, after rising 3% in the prior session to close at $48.72. (MarketWatch) The stock’s latest run followed a KeyBanc Capital Markets upgrade to “overweight,” alongside a $60 price target, arguing demand tied to artificial intelligence data centers has tightened supply for next year. Intel jumped nearly 9% on Tuesday after the note, with Advanced Micro Devices also climbing. (Investopedia) KeyBanc analyst John Vinh said Intel was “largely sold out” in server central processing units (CPUs) for 2026, and

The pullback spotlights a financing move that might boost the share count significantly, while also giving the company a hefty cash cushion. That combination can fuel growth initiatives but may weigh on this small-cap stock until investors get clarity on the next steps. “What’s next” comes fast.

AMD stock rises after ‘sold out’ server-chip call, with tariffs and earnings in view

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 09:46 EST — Regular session Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) shares climbed 3.3% to $230.96 early Thursday, buoyed by a wider surge in semiconductor stocks. The rally followed Taiwan Semiconductor’s optimistic spending forecast, which reignited interest in AI-related plays. (Reuters) The move matters now because investors are zeroing in on any signals about 2026 data-center demand, whether it’s foundry spending or whispers of new orders. For AMD, this comes amid debate over whether it can convert AI accelerator hype into consistent revenue and margin growth, while Nvidia continues to lead the pack. The next milestone is

Broadcom (AVGO) stock rebounds on Wells Fargo upgrade as China’s VMware ban clouds the week

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Broadcom shares climbed early Thursday following a Wells Fargo upgrade. The chipmaker’s stock gained 1.7%, hitting $345.74, recovering some ground after a sharp drop the previous day. (MarketScreener) Why it matters now: Broadcom is deeply embedded in the data-center surge, providing both chips and networking equipment, along with owning VMware, a key player in infrastructure software. The stock slid over 4% Wednesday after Reuters reported that Beijing ordered local companies to halt use of cybersecurity software from more than a dozen U.S. and Israeli firms, including VMware, which Broadcom owns.

Investors digested a new warning from India’s competition watchdog amid a long-running antitrust investigation into the App Store. (Reuters) This warning is crucial now, setting a tight timeline for a case that might compel Apple to alter its iOS operations in India.
