New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:32 AM EST — Regular session Applied Digital Corporation shares climbed roughly 2.5% on Monday, buoyed by continued buying following last week’s quarterly report.

Alphabet hits $4 trillion mark as Google’s AI reboot wins back Wall Street

Alphabet hits $4 trillion mark as Google’s AI reboot wins back Wall Street

New York, January 12, 2026, 11:10 EST Alphabet reached a $4 trillion market value on Monday, marking a major shift in how investors view the Google parent amid the AI boom. (Reuters) The AI race has morphed into a spending war—chips, data centers, talent—and investors are backing the handful of companies they believe can bankroll this push while keeping margins intact. Alphabet’s leap also shakes up the upper ranks of global equities, having surpassed Apple in market cap last week. The company’s rebound also serves as a modest answer to a debate swirling since ChatGPT’s rise in 2022: did Google

SoFi stock swings on Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap talk as CEO flags personal-loan upside

SoFi stock swings on Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap talk as CEO flags personal-loan upside

New York, January 12, 2026, 11:12 (ET) — Regular session Shares of SoFi Technologies (SOFI.O) slipped roughly 1.7% to $26.94 by 11:12 a.m. ET on Monday, after earlier hitting $28.05. Traders initially jumped on a Washington-related headline, only to pull back soon after. The stock finds itself pulled in opposite directions. A cap on credit-card interest rates might squeeze banks and card issuers but could steer some borrowers toward personal loans — a core area for SoFi. The timing matters — the proposal dropped just as investors were digging into consumer credit trends and scouting fintech’s next growth area. Yet,

XRP price drifts near $2 as crypto fund outflows grow and ETF filings shift the backdrop

XRP price drifts near $2 as crypto fund outflows grow and ETF filings shift the backdrop

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 11:07 AM EST — Regular session XRP slipped about 0.5% on Monday, settling near $2.09. The token remains trapped in a tight range, leaving both bulls and bears frustrated. (CoinMarketCap) This shift is significant because inflows into listed crypto products now serve as a sharp gauge of risk appetite, particularly early in the year when portfolios adjust and liquidity tightens. XRP, in particular, has attracted a rising number of U.S.-listed funds, heightening its sensitivity to news that would have barely registered a year ago. The move comes as markets continue to adjust to shifting interest-rate

IREN stock jumps as bitcoin firms up; what traders are watching next

IREN stock jumps as bitcoin firms up; what traders are watching next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:15 EST — Regular session underway. IREN Limited shares jumped Monday, gaining roughly 7.3% to $49.38 as buyers returned to crypto-linked stocks. Early trading saw the price fluctuate between $45.85 and $49.83, with roughly 20.5 million shares changing hands. The move is significant because IREN straddles two worlds: it continues mining bitcoin while also positioning itself as an AI infrastructure player. This dual focus leaves the stock vulnerable to swings from both crypto prices and the pace of data-center expansions. Rate-cut timing remains unclear, rattling investors in high-growth stocks linked to hefty capex. A handful

AMD stock jumps as Bernstein stays cautious on chipmaker and Wall Street frets Fed fight

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:31 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Advanced Micro Devices were up 2.6% at $208.44 by 10:31 a.m. EST on Monday, even as the Nasdaq 100 tracker dipped slightly. The stock traded between $200.00 and $208.44. The move lands in a market that is quick to swing on chip names, where money has chased anything tied to artificial intelligence and then backed away just as fast. AMD sits near the center of that push-pull ahead of its next results. Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon reiterated “outperform” calls on Nvidia and Broadcom and wrote that AI spending

Alphabet stock’s $4 trillion flashpoint: Google’s AI refocus puts it back in the lead

New York, January 12, 2026, 11:02 EST Alphabet surged past a $4 trillion market cap on Monday, highlighting the rapid shift in investor sentiment toward Google’s AI ambitions. https://www.reuters.com/business/alphabet-hits-4-trillion-valuation-ai-refocus-lifts-sentiment-2026-01-12/ This shift matters now as Big Tech’s AI spending spree bumps up against a crucial question: who can convert their hardware and models into steady cash flow, and who’s merely leasing pricey compute power from others. Alphabet shares dipped 0.3% to $327.47 in late morning trading. The stock has climbed roughly 65% over the last year and gained about 6% year-to-date in 2026. The rally has propelled Alphabet closer to Nvidia,

Nvidia stock wobbles after $1B Eli Lilly AI lab plan as CPI and TSMC loom

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 10:43 a.m. ET — Regular session Nvidia (NVDA.O), the world’s most valuable listed company, and Eli Lilly (LLY.N) said on Monday they will spend $1 billion over five years on a joint research lab in the San Francisco Bay Area, betting Nvidia’s next Vera Rubin AI chips can speed drug discovery. Nvidia shares were down 0.2% at $184.42 by 10:30 a.m. ET. (Reuters) The move gives Nvidia another lane to sell chips and software as investors debate how long the AI spending surge by Big Tech can stay at full tilt. For Lilly, it is

Opendoor stock dips as Trump mortgage-bond boost cools; CPI next for OPEN

Opendoor stock dips as Trump mortgage-bond boost cools; CPI next for OPEN

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:53 ET — Regular session Opendoor Technologies (OPEN.O) shares dropped 3.2% to $7.06 in Monday’s morning session, retreating from recent gains sparked by U.S. housing policy news. The stock swung between $6.94 and $7.25, with roughly 26.1 million shares traded by 10:53 a.m. ET. The pullback is notable because Opendoor stands out as one of the clearest plays tied to mortgage rates: when borrowing costs drop, buyer activity typically rises, boosting housing turnover. President Donald Trump announced a $200 billion order for mortgage-bond purchases aimed at lowering housing expenses, a plan set to unfold through
