GOOG stock slips as Google’s Gemini adds “buy” checkout with Walmart — what to watch next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:14 EST — Regular session Alphabet’s Class C shares (GOOG), which don’t have voting rights, dropped 0.5% to $327.60 in Monday’s morning session. This came after Google introduced new shopping and checkout features for its Gemini app in partnership with Walmart and other retailers.

Synchrony Financial stock slides on Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap push — what to know now

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 09:51 EST — Regular session Synchrony Financial shares were down about 7% at $80.80 on Monday morning, as investors sold credit-card lenders after President Donald Trump called for a one-year cap on credit-card interest rates. The proposal matters for Synchrony because it leans heavily on interest income from store and co-branded cards. A hard cap would compress what lenders earn on revolving balances, just as the sector heads into a fresh earnings cycle. Trump said on Friday he was calling for a 10% cap starting Jan. 20, but offered no details on how the plan

New York, January 12, 2026, 09:50 EST — Regular session.

The stock was down 0.1% at $652.24, after trading between $645.26 and $656.31. The appointment matters because Meta is trying to line up capital, power and political support for what it calls multi-billion-dollar investments in compute and data centers.

New York, January 12, 2026, 09:50 EST — Regular session Shares of Sandisk Corp (SNDK.O) rose 2.9% to $388.33 in early trading on Monday after slipping as much as 5.1% earlier in the session, a reminder of how jumpy this tape has become.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:48 EST — Regular session Affirm Holdings’ shares slipped roughly 0.4% to $81.45 on Monday, after fluctuating between $80.90 and $84.65 in initial trades. The stock closed at $81.80 on Friday. (Investing.com) Shares dropped after President Donald Trump proposed a one-year cap on credit-card APRs at 10%. The idea hit bank and card-lender stocks but briefly boosted some alternative finance firms. Affirm climbed as much as 5% in premarket, though investors doubted the plan’s chances. Jefferies analysts called it “dead on arrival,” saying no executive power can enforce it alone. JPMorgan’s Vivek Juneja warned it

Abercrombie & Fitch stock dives after holiday update trims sales outlook — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 09:49 EST — Regular session Abercrombie & Fitch Co shares plunged Monday after the apparel retailer trimmed its Q4 outlook and cut the upper range of its full-year sales growth forecast post-holiday season. Early trading saw the stock drop roughly 20% to $99.62. This shift is critical since the holiday quarter is prime time for many mall-based brands, and guidance changes tend to ripple quickly through the sector. Abercrombie has maintained solid margins, so expectations were already set high. Tariffs are back on the radar as shoppers stay price-conscious. Investors aren’t just focused on holiday

Tesla stock pops at the open as robotaxi “prove-it year” talk meets earnings countdown

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Tesla (TSLA.O) shares rose 2.1% to $445.01 in early New York trading on Monday. The early move keeps the spotlight on a stock that trades as much on expectations for new businesses as on car sales. Investors are trying to map Tesla’s next catalysts onto a market that is quick to punish misses. That backdrop is noisy this week. Traders are looking to U.S. inflation data due Tuesday and the start of quarterly earnings season for big banks, both of which can jolt rate-sensitive growth names.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:54 EST — Regular session Atara Biotherapeutics shares plunged about 56% to $6.03 in early trading after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration rejected its cell therapy tabelecleucel, marketed as EBVALLO in Europe, for a rare post-transplant cancer.

Micron stock jumps as Taiwan report flags 30% rise in memory testing, packaging prices

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:35 EST — Regular session Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 5.5% to $345.09 in early New York trading on Monday after a Taiwanese media report said memory-chip testing and packaging firms have started lifting prices by up to 30%. (UDN) The timing matters. Packaging and testing sit at the back end of the supply chain, and tight capacity there can slow shipments even if chipmakers push wafer output higher. For Micron, any sign of a bottleneck tends to pull attention back to pricing power. The work is known as OSAT — outsourced semiconductor assembly and
