Verizon stock drops as FCC loosens phone unlocking rule and traders look to earnings next

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 15:09 EST — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares fell 2.4% to $38.89 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, lagging the broader market a day after U.S. regulators eased a long-standing phone-unlocking rule. The change matters because “unlocking” determines whether a handset can be used on a rival network, which shapes how easily customers can switch. Verizon has argued the old timeline made its devices easier to steal and resell, while consumer advocates say faster unlocking lowers switching costs and boosts competition. Late Monday, the Federal Communications Commission revised its rule requiring Verizon to unlock phones

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 14:44 EST Shares of Super Micro Computer (SMCI) dropped 6.3% to $28.22 Tuesday afternoon following Goldman Sachs analyst Katherine Murphy’s initiation of coverage with a Sell rating.

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 15:07 EST — Regular session.

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 15:03 ET — Regular session. SoFi Technologies shares rose 1.1% to $26.89 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, while the S&P 500 slipped about 0.4%, as investors weighed whether a new push to cap credit-card rates could redirect borrowers toward online lenders. The stock has moved with a widening policy fight after Trump called for a one-year cap of 10% on credit card interest rates starting Jan. 20.
