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

Microsoft stock today: Goldman’s $655 target lands as MSFT edges higher in choppy trade

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:51 EST — Regular session underway. Microsoft Corp. shares ticked up about 0.2% to $480.15 in early trading Monday in New York, bucking the trend as broader U.S. stocks slipped. Goldman Sachs kicked off coverage on the software titan with a Buy rating and set a $655 price target, signaling nearly 37% potential upside from here. (TipRanks) The timing couldn’t be more awkward. Markets jittered after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell revealed the Justice Department had issued subpoenas and warned of a possible criminal indictment—sparking fresh concerns about central bank independence and driving investors into

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.

It confirmed previous Good Manufacturing Practice
Micron stock jumps as Taiwan report flags 30% rise in memory testing, packaging prices

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

Apple stock ticks higher after iPhone 17 helps Apple top 2025 shipments — what AAPL investors watch next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:37 (EST) — Regular session Apple (AAPL.O) shares rose 0.1% to $259.37 in early trade on Monday after Counterpoint Research data showed the iPhone maker led global smartphone shipments in 2025, even as U.S. stocks opened lower. Apple held a 20% share, ahead of Samsung’s 19% and Xiaomi’s 13%, with Counterpoint analyst Varun Mishra pointing to “solid demand in emerging and mid-sized markets” and strong iPhone 17 sales. Counterpoint research director Tarun Pathak said the smartphone market could soften in 2026 as chip shortages and higher component costs bite, with chipmakers prioritising AI data centres
Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

Intel stock slips after a target raise: why Wall Street still isn’t buying the rally

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:45 ET — Regular session Intel Corp shares slipped 1.8% to $44.73 Monday morning, pressured by cautious analyst commentary following last week’s surge in the chipmaker’s stock. The wider market showed weakness as well, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF falling roughly 0.4% and the iShares Semiconductor ETF retreating about 0.7%. The dip is significant because Intel’s rally owes more to a long-term wager than to immediate earnings. Investors are banking on its manufacturing revival and U.S. political support to reshape outlooks for 2026 and later. Monday’s trading highlighted how swiftly that optimism can clash

30,000 Homes Without Water: Major Incident Declared in Kent as South East Water Scrambles

LONDON, Jan 12, 2026, 14:24 (GMT) Kent County Council declared a major incident on Monday as roughly 30,000 homes across parts of Kent and Sussex lost running water or experienced a severe drop in pressure. The disruption spilled into the start of the week, forcing some schools to close and public services to pivot while households line up for bottled water. For local officials, it’s turned into an emergency-planning challenge just as much as a plumbing issue. The sector is already facing political heat, with outages and leaks under intense scrutiny. Companies are being pressured to prove they can maintain

Nvidia stock slips early as traders eye China chip demand, TSMC outlook and CPI

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:34 EST — Regular session Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares dipped slightly in early Monday trading, falling around 0.1% to $184.86. The drop followed a slip in U.S. futures as investors remained wary of big-cap growth stocks. Timing is critical. This week packs a heavy slate of macro data and earnings reports, and traders have quickly sold off AI-related gains whenever bond yields spike or policy risks emerge. Wall Street futures dipped earlier after the White House renewed pressure on the Federal Reserve, raising fresh doubts about the Fed’s independence—a concern that often weighs on rate-sensitive tech

Broadcom stock pops early as traders brace for CPI and chip-demand readouts

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:36 EST — Regular session Shares of Broadcom Inc surged 3.7% to $344.97 during early trading in New York on Monday, pushing further gains for the chipmaker. The shift happens as investors brace for Tuesday’s U.S. consumer price index report for December, set for 8:30 a.m. ET. That data has the power to rattle Treasury yields and ripple through high-growth tech stocks. (Bureau of Labor Statistics) Markets are grappling with new doubts over the Fed’s independence after Chair Jerome Powell revealed the Justice Department issued subpoenas warning of a possible criminal indictment linked to his

Citigroup stock slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap plan rattles lenders ahead of earnings

New York, January 12, 2026, 11:40 EST — Regular session Citigroup Inc shares were down about 3.5% at $117.03 in late morning trading, after President Donald Trump called for a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10% starting Jan. 20 and gave no details on how companies would be made to comply. (Reuters) The headline risk for Citi is simple: credit cards are a big consumer profit engine across the industry, and a hard ceiling would hit pricing on loans that carry no collateral. It also lands with bank earnings days away, when executives normally talk about credit

Mastercard slid 1.7% and American Express fell 4.6%. The pressure followed President Donald Trump’s call for a one-year cap on credit-card interest rates at 10%, starting Jan. 20, without spelling out how it would be enforced. Analysts said the proposal would likely require legislation, leaving markets to trade the risk before the details exist. (Reuters) Financial stocks broadly slipped on the headline, and the move has pulled in payment processors alongside banks and
