Citi stock today: Citigroup shares steady premarket after profit beat, Russia exit hit and layoff plans

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 05:20 EST — Premarket update.

Airbnb stock (ABNB) drops 5%: tourism warning, new AI CTO and insider sale in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 05:06 EST — Premarket Airbnb shares dropped 5.2% on Wednesday, closing at $132.79 ahead of Thursday’s session. Booking Holdings fell 2.3%, while Expedia Group slid 3.1%.

Twilio stock steadies in premarket after 5% drop as tech nerves linger

Twilio stock steadies in premarket after 5% drop as tech nerves linger

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 04:58 EST — Premarket action underway. Twilio Inc’s shares climbed roughly 1.7% to $124.92 in premarket action on Thursday, rebounding after a 5.2% drop the day before that left the stock at $123.03 at Wednesday’s close. Timing is key. Investors have been rapidly offloading pricey tech and software stocks, only to snap some back almost immediately, as earnings season expands and geopolitical news floods the tape. Twilio’s initial rebound offers a glimpse into whether Wednesday’s selloff was driven mainly by macro factors — and if dip-buyers remain ready to jump in when the Nasdaq falters.

ASML stock hits record high as market value tops $500 billion after TSMC blowout

ASML stock hits record high as market value tops $500 billion after TSMC blowout

AMSTERDAM, January 15, 2026, 10:54 CET — Regular session ASML Holding’s shares surged to a new all-time peak on Thursday, pushing the Dutch chip equipment maker’s market cap beyond $500 billion. That keeps ASML firmly in the lead as Europe’s most valuable publicly traded company. (Reuters) This is crucial since ASML occupies the bottleneck in advanced chip manufacturing. When major chipmakers mention increased demand and ramped-up spending, the ripple usually hits their equipment orders first. This time, it wasn’t an ASML update that set things off. Instead, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s results brought some clarity to the ongoing debate: is

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 04:54 EST — Premarket Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s shares listed in the U.S. dropped 1.2% in premarket trading Thursday, despite the chipmaker posting a record-breaking fourth-quarter profit that surpassed expectations. (Reuters) This print matters because TSMC dictates the rhythm for the entire chip supply chain — spanning from equipment manufacturers to leading AI chip designers. The market is weighing whether the upcoming phase hinges on demand or spending. This comes as investors shift their attention to 2026 budgets, with chipmakers once more discussing capacity expansion instead of cuts. TSMC reported a 20.5% jump in fourth-quarter

London, January 15, 2026, 09:46 GMT Britain’s economy expanded by 0.3% in November compared to October, official data revealed on Thursday, driven in part by a bounce back in car manufacturing.
