Intel stock jumps after KeyBanc’s $60 call — what Wall Street watches next for INTC

New York, January 13, 2026, 16:04 EST — After-hours trading session Intel (INTC.O) shares jumped 7.3% Tuesday, closing at $47.29 following an intraday peak of $48.24, marking a 52-week high.

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 16:04 EST — After-hours Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) slipped 1.8% to $468.44 in after-hours trading Tuesday following the company’s announcement of a new strategy aimed at preventing its rapidly expanding data-center operations from inflating consumer power bills.

For Microsoft, resistance isn’t just a permitting snag anymore. It’s tangled up in the

Visa stock slides nearly 5% as Trump’s credit-card rate cap plan hits payment networks

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 16:17 EST — After-hours Visa (NYSE: V) shares dropped nearly 5% Tuesday after President Donald Trump proposed a one-year cap on credit-card interest rates, intensifying pressure on the payments sector. (Reuters) Visa fell 4.5% to $327.90. The drop signals growing concern that Washington is moving beyond mere talk and gearing up to take action against the card industry—a sector usually driven by spending patterns and regulatory threats. Last week, Trump proposed a 10% cap on rates but didn’t specify enforcement details. Wall Street experts say passing such a cap would probably need new legislation. A

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 16:14 EST — After-hours Shares of Amazon.com (AMZN.O) slid 1.6% during Tuesday’s session after reports emerged that the company is pushing suppliers to lower prices ahead of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on President Donald Trump’s broad tariffs. The stock last traded at $242.60. (Reuters) Why it matters now: tariffs act as import taxes that can quickly shift costs for retailers buying and reselling goods.

Nvidia stock stays flat after China tightens H200 chip approvals; Eli Lilly $1B AI lab grabs attention

New York, January 13, 2026, 4:03 PM ET — After-hours NVIDIA Corporation shares (NVDA) barely moved Tuesday following a report that China is restricting approvals for buying the company’s H200 AI chips. The stock last dipped 0.04% to $184.87 shortly after the close, after bouncing between $183.45 and $188.08. (Reuters) The China headlines are key because the H200 — a top-tier graphics processing unit (GPU) used in data centers for training and running AI models — is central to Nvidia’s growth narrative. According to the report, Beijing’s guidance to some companies was “deliberately vague,” advising purchases only when “necessary.” More
