New York, Jan 15, 2026, 09:32 EST — Regular session Microsoft Corp’s (MSFT.O) shares dropped roughly 2.4% to $459.38 in early New York trading Thursday.

Tesla stock slides as Musk shifts Full Self-Driving to subscription-only, with earnings looming

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 09:33 EST — Regular session underway. Tesla (TSLA.O) shares slipped roughly 1.8% to $439.20 Thursday morning, weighed down by a new pricing update for its Full Self-Driving feature and recent legal developments that rattled investors. This shift is significant since Tesla’s valuation hinges heavily on its software prospects. Supporters argue self-driving tech and subscription services offer better margins than vehicle sales. Critics, however, question both customer willingness to pay and regulatory hurdles. Timing matters here. The stock shows little tolerance for anything that clouds near-term revenue, even if it might clarify the longer-term outlook. Musk

Etihad dethrones rivals in world’s safest airlines 2026 list as turbulence gets more weight

ABU DHABI, Jan 15, 2026, 18:21 GST Etihad Airways has been named the world’s safest full-service airline for 2026, topping an annual ranking that put Cathay Pacific in second place and Qantas third. AirlineRatings.com said it was the first time a Gulf carrier had led its list. https://gulfnews.com/business/aviation/which-airlines-are-safest-to-fly-in-2026-new-rankings-reveal-1.500409005 The ranking lands as airlines face sharper scrutiny over in-flight safety, including injuries linked to turbulence, and as carriers compete hard for premium travellers. Safety messaging is also showing up more often in marketing, especially on long-haul routes where passengers have options. Time Out, citing AirlineRatings, said 320 operators were evaluated using

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 09:19 EST — Premarket Shares of Bank of America dropped 3.7% to $52.48 in Thursday’s premarket, signaling a soft start following a broad selloff in bank stocks the day before.

Amazon stock dips despite new AWS Europe “sovereign cloud” push

Amazon stock dips despite new AWS Europe “sovereign cloud” push

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 09:33 EST — Regular session Amazon.com shares dipped in early Thursday trading following the launch of a new Europe-based service by its cloud division, targeting clients concerned about data location and access. The stock fell $6.00 to $236.65, down from an opening price of $241.00. This matters as AWS pushes deeper into government and regulated sectors across Europe, where “sovereignty” has evolved from a buzzword into a hard requirement—meaning data and operations must stay within the bloc. Simply put, a sovereign cloud is built to ensure data residency and control remain under a given jurisdiction’s

BigBear.ai (BBAI) stock rises premarket after $125 million debt conversion, with a key share vote days away

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 09:10 ET — Premarket BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc (NYSE: BBAI) jumped 2.6% to $6.26 in premarket Thursday after announcing it fully converted its 6% convertible senior secured notes due 2029 into common stock.

(Business Wire) That’s key now since convertible notes are debt that can be converted into equity, wiping out a looming cash repayment and interest expense. But it also means more shares on the market, which

The news lifted its shares in premarket trading. (Reuters) Investors are now weighing if the late-2025 pickup in dealmaking and capital markets activity is solidifying for 2026.

Buffalo drivers get a new warning: 2027 Kensington Expressway bridge repairs could bring detours

Buffalo, New York, Jan 15, 2026, 08:45 EST On Wednesday evening, New York State transportation officials updated locals on a plan to renovate five bridges spanning Route 33, the Kensington Expressway, local outlets reported. Construction could kick off in spring 2027, with traffic detours expected during certain phases of the work. https://www.wivb.com/news/local-news/dot-holds-meeting-over-upcoming-bridge-repairs/ The timing is critical since Route 33 serves as a key east-west route into Buffalo’s East Side and the airport corridor.
