Salesforce stock slips in regular trade as AI worries linger despite Slackbot rollout

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 11:01 ET — Regular session Salesforce (CRM) shares fell about 0.6% to $239.72 on Wednesday, tracking a broader pullback in U.S. equities as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ETFs slid. The move comes a day after Salesforce dropped about 6.5% — its largest one-day percentage fall since late May 2024 — as investors leaned into a fresh round of skepticism about how quickly large software makers can make money from new artificial intelligence tools. Adobe also fell sharply, and some traders rotated toward semiconductors instead, Dow Jones Market Data showed. (MarketWatch) That debate is landing

Super Micro Computer stock steadies as Goldman starts SMCI at “sell,” flags margin squeeze

New York, January 14, 2026, 10:08 ET — During the regular session Super Micro Computer shares hovered near $28.6 Wednesday morning, barely moving after Goldman Sachs kicked off coverage with a “sell” rating and pegged a $26 price target. (site.financialmodelingprep.com) This call is crucial since Super Micro now stands as a key indicator for the AI-server expansion — the debate has moved past whether demand is there, focusing instead on the profit margin the company can hold on every system it delivers. Wall Street is bracing for a sizable revenue jump in the company’s upcoming results. In its last update

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 10:36 a.m. ET — Regular session Snap (SNAP.N) shares dropped 1.4% to $7.88 Wednesday morning, deepening their slide amid ongoing pressure on tech and advertising stocks. Meta Platforms and Pinterest also slipped, each down roughly 1.5%. The shift carried weight beyond a single stock as risk appetite faltered following a streak of record highs. By mid-morning, the Dow slipped roughly 0.2%, the S&P 500 fell about 0.4%, and the Nasdaq dropped near 0.7%, with investors digesting bank earnings, inflation figures, and fresh policy and court news.

SoFi stock drops nearly 3% as credit-card rate cap fight keeps lenders on edge

New York, January 14, 2026, 10:39 EST — Regular session Shares of SoFi Technologies Inc (SOFI.O) dropped roughly 3%, slipping to $26.34 in early Wednesday trading, following a close of $27.14 in the previous session. Investors remain fixated on President Donald Trump’s push for a one-year cap on credit-card interest rates—a move that has rattled bank and card-related stocks. UBS Global analysts noted, “It would take an Act of Congress” to implement any rate caps, highlighting the significant legal and political hurdles ahead. (Reuters) SoFi finds itself caught in a tricky spot. It promotes itself as a digital, all-in-one finance
MSTR pops after Strategy’s $1.25B bitcoin buy — and its ‘Stretch’ stock is doing more of the lifting

MSTR pops after Strategy’s $1.25B bitcoin buy — and its ‘Stretch’ stock is doing more of the lifting

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 10:35 EST Bitcoin surged to a two-month peak Wednesday as Strategy revealed a $1.25 billion bitcoin purchase, sending its shares higher. Investors often see such moves as a signal for crypto-linked stocks. On Tuesday, U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest daily inflows in nearly three months, fueling a risk-on vibe. (Investing.com) Strategy, once known as MicroStrategy, has become the most prominent publicly traded “bitcoin treasury” firm — one that raises funds to pile up bitcoin. According to a recent U.S. securities filing, the company bought 13,627 bitcoin between Jan. 5 and Jan. 11, shelling

Walmart stock slips as Nasdaq-100 debut nears and Google Gemini shopping deal draws focus

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 11:01 a.m. EST — Regular session Walmart Inc shares dipped on Wednesday, retreating from earlier gains as U.S. stocks pulled back. The retailer’s shares fell roughly 1% to $119.17 in morning trading, with investors eyeing a packed lineup of upcoming catalysts. Why it matters now: Walmart will enter the Nasdaq-100 on Jan. 20, prompting passive index funds to buy shares to keep up with their benchmarks. The stock surged 3% Monday following the announcement. Its recent switch to listing on Nasdaq has smoothed the path for this shift in investor flows. (Reuters) Walmart is ramping

Robert Half stock rebounds as a new hiring survey hits and bulls talk a 2026 turn

New York, January 14, 2026, 10:26 EST Robert Half (RHI) shares rose about 3% to $28.70 in morning trading on Wednesday, drawing fresh attention after a Seeking Alpha column pitched the staffing firm as an “underpriced cyclical recovery play.” The author put a fair value of $49 a share on a discounted cash-flow model — a method that estimates future cash and discounts it back to today — and argued the consulting arm, Protiviti, is helping cushion a soft staffing market. (Seeking Alpha) The timing matters because staffing names tend to move early in the hiring cycle, and investors are

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps as Bitcoin rallies; SEC filing details $1.25 billion buy

New York, January 14, 2026, 10:45 ET — Trading underway Strategy Inc shares climbed Wednesday, following a surge in bitcoin and gains across crypto-related stocks. The stock jumped 6.3% to $183.94 in morning trading. Bitcoin advanced roughly 4.1% to $96,627, with Coinbase also seeing gains. This move is significant since Strategy acts as a liquid stand-in for bitcoin risk, often amplifying the token’s volatility. This week, attention shifts away from the firm’s software background toward its rapid bitcoin accumulation—and the methods behind funding that buildup. A U.S. securities filing on Monday revealed the company acquired 13,627 bitcoin between Jan. 5

Sandisk stock (SNDK) in play as Bernstein lifts target to $580 and retail money crowds in

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 10:53 EST — Regular session Shares of Sandisk Corp edged up 0.5% to $391.76 on Wednesday, bouncing between $380 and $401.08 earlier in the day. The move came after Bernstein analyst Mark Newman nearly doubled his price target, adding momentum to a rally already fueled by a surge of retail interest in memory stocks. (TipRanks) This shift is crucial since Sandisk has turned into a quick, liquid play on the storage crunch brewing in AI data centers. With heavy positioning, even a bullish note or a strong flow print can shake the stock sharply. Retail

Mastercard stock dips as Trump-backed credit card cap and swipe-fee bill keep MA in focus

New York, January 14, 2026, 10:54 EST — Regular session. Mastercard shares slipped 0.1% to $544.29 on Wednesday morning amid mounting political scrutiny of the U.S. credit-card industry. Investors appeared cautious as new regulatory concerns came into focus. This debate hits two key profit drivers in the sector: the interest rates borrowers face and the fees merchants pay whenever a card is swiped. Mastercard doesn’t lend money itself, but it’s right in the middle of the payment process. So a drop in card spending or changes in routing could still dent network volumes and fee income.

Netflix stock slips as all-cash Warner Bros bid talk swirls, with earnings days away

New York, January 14, 2026, 10:49 (EST) — Regular session Netflix shares dropped 1.6% Wednesday morning amid new developments in its pursuit of Warner Bros Discovery’s studio and streaming units. Warner Bros stock held steady, while Paramount Skydance slipped roughly 0.6%. (Reuters) This report matters now because the battle has become a test of structure: how much cash Netflix is ready to commit and how fast it can win over regulators. Earnings are out next week, leaving the stock little margin for unclear answers. Paramount ramped up the pressure Monday, suing Warner Bros Discovery to demand more details on the

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps as bitcoin nears $97,000 and a director buys the dip

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 10:27 EST Shares of Strategy Inc rose Wednesday, buoyed by bitcoin’s surge near $97,000 and an unusual insider purchase paired with the company’s fresh crypto buys funded by debt and equity. Formerly MicroStrategy, the stock climbed roughly 6.5% to $184.30 by 10:27 a.m. EST. Bitcoin jumped about 4.9% to $96,858, while Coinbase, a key crypto player, added close to 2%. This shift counts because Strategy now behaves less like a traditional software company and more like a high-stakes bitcoin play. When bitcoin prices fluctuate, the stock tends to move even more sharply—partly due to the
