Lam Research stock slips below $200 as chip gear makers slide; jobs report looms

Lam Research stock slips below $200 as chip gear makers slide; jobs report looms

New York, January 8, 2026, 11:27 EST — Regular session Lam Research shares fell 2.2% to $198.62 on Thursday, tracking a broader drop in semiconductor names. The stock touched $195.14 at its low so far. Lam, a major supplier of chipmaking tools, tends to swing with expectations for factory spending and the pace of upgrades at big chipmakers. That matters now because rate-sensitive tech has been jittery, and investors are trying to pin down whether early-year momentum can hold into earnings season. Applied Materials slid about 4.0%, KLA fell roughly 2.7% and ASML’s U.S.-listed shares dropped about 3.9%, while the

Lockheed Martin stock jumps on Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense-budget call after payout-ban scare

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 11:45 EST — Regular session Lockheed Martin shares rose 5.2% to $522.56 on Thursday, extending a volatile two-day stretch after President Donald Trump called for a $1.5 trillion U.S. military budget for 2027. The stock hit $542.66 earlier in the session before drifting back. Reuters The whipsaw matters because the same White House that is talking up a much larger defense top line is also threatening to police how contractors spend their cash. “A limit on capital return is an incremental negative, but the size is manageable,” Morgan Stanley analysts led by Kristine Liwag wrote,

Western Digital stock slides again after CES AI-storage rally — what traders watch next

New York, January 8, 2026, 11:31 EST — Regular session Western Digital Corp (WDC) shares fell about 9% on Thursday, extending a sharp pullback in storage names after this week’s CES-driven jump. The stock was down 8.6% at $182.63 after opening above $200. The swing matters because Western Digital, a maker of hard-disk drives — spinning disks used for bulk data storage — has become a quick way for traders to express views on the AI data-center buildout. After two sessions of big moves, some investors are starting to ask how much of the storage boom is already in the

Netflix stock slips as Paramount presses Warner bid; NFLX earnings loom

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 11:07 ET — Regular session Netflix stock was down 0.4% at $90.34 on Thursday, slipping as Paramount Skydance renewed its push to buy Warner Bros Discovery and took fresh aim at the structure of Netflix’s agreed deal for Warner’s studios and streaming assets. Paramount reiterated its $30-per-share all-cash offer and said the cable-network spin-off central to Netflix’s proposal was effectively worth less than nothing; Paramount’s tender offer expires on Jan. 21. Reuters The sparring matters for Netflix shareholders because Netflix stock is part of the consideration in the Warner transaction, and a “collar” (a preset

New York, January 8, 2026, 11:02 EST — Regular session Neogen Corp shares climbed about 27% to $9.38 in late morning trade, after the food and animal safety products maker beat quarterly profit expectations and lifted its full-year forecast. The stock hit a session high of $10.22.

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 10:59 EST — Regular session Shares of Rivian Automotive (RIVN.O) were up about 1.2% at $20.30 in morning trade on Thursday after U.S. auto safety regulators flagged a recall of 19,641 previously serviced R1S SUVs and R1T pickups.

Strategy Inc stock climbs after MSCI index reprieve — what MSTR traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 11:21 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc shares rose on Thursday as investors digested MSCI’s decision to keep so-called digital asset treasury companies in its global benchmarks, at least through the next review. The move matters because index membership can drive forced buying and selling from funds that track benchmarks. Losing that slot can turn into a mechanical hit, especially for stocks that already trade like crypto proxies. MSCI is keeping the group in for now, but it is also tightening the screws. The index provider said it plans a broader consultation on “non-operating” companies,
