SoFi stock steadies after $1.6 billion share sale as BofA stays cautious ahead of earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 19:39 ET — After-hours SoFi Technologies (SOFI.O) shares were up about 0.1% at $27 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after ranging from $26.42 to $27.18 in the session. The stock has been whipsawed this week by a familiar mix for fast-growing consumer finance names: capital raises, valuation arguments, and what happens to loan growth when the market stops giving you the benefit of the doubt. SoFi said in an SEC filing that underwriters exercised an option to buy additional shares and the company completed the issuance and sale on Jan. 5, bringing the total shares

BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) stock slides after MSCI pauses crypto-treasury index shake-up

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 19:32 EST — After-hours BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc shares were last down 6% at $30.36 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after a choppy session that saw the stock swing between $30.24 and $32.81. The stock has been moving with a sector-wide debate over whether index providers should treat “digital asset treasury companies” — listed firms that park a large share of their balance sheet in tokens like bitcoin and ether — as operating companies or more like investment vehicles. MSCI said late Tuesday it would not implement a proposal to exclude such firms from its

Accenture plc stock slips after Faculty AI deal; what traders watch next

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 7:39 PM EST — After-hours Accenture plc shares were little changed in after-hours trade on Wednesday, last at $273.98 after ending the regular session down 0.7%. The pullback came as investors sized up Accenture’s latest bet on artificial intelligence, and a broader market that has started to look more selective. The question hanging over the stock is whether new AI talent and tools show up quickly in bookings and margins, not just headlines. Accenture said on Tuesday it had agreed to acquire Faculty, a British “AI-native” services and products firm, adding more than 400 staff
Rumble’s Tether-backed crypto wallet brings Bitcoin and USDT tips — and shares jump

Rumble’s Tether-backed crypto wallet brings Bitcoin and USDT tips — and shares jump

New York, January 7, 2026, 19:11 (EST) Rumble Inc launched a crypto wallet with stablecoin issuer Tether on Wednesday, aiming to let viewers pay creators directly on its platform. Rumble shares jumped about 5% after the launch, CoinDesk reported. CoinDesk The move lands as creator platforms look for ways to move money faster and with fewer tolls from banks and payment processors. Rumble is also betting that a direct payments option matters for creators who worry about fees, freezes or sudden shutdowns. It is a branding play, too. Rumble pitches itself as a YouTube rival with a free-speech edge, and

Salad and Go is quitting Texas and Oklahoma — and closing its last 32 stores

Dallas, Jan 7, 2026, 18:04 CST Salad and Go said on Wednesday it will close all remaining restaurants in Texas and Oklahoma, pulling the drive-thru salad chain out of two states that had become its main growth markets outside Arizona. The move lands as the company tries to reset after a rapid buildout and then a first wave of closures announced in September. It is now shrinking back to a smaller footprint it says it can run better, with fewer moving parts and less distance between its kitchens and stores. It also yanks the company’s center of gravity out of

Amgen stock jumps on UBS buy call as Dark Blue deal sharpens focus on pipeline

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 19:17 EST — After-hours Amgen shares (AMGN.O) rose 3.5% to $341.64 in Wednesday’s regular session and were last near that level after the bell. UBS assumed coverage with a buy rating and a $380 price target, saying it sees “upside from EPS and pipeline.” Why this matters now is simple: investors are testing whether Amgen’s next growth bets can outrun erosion in older blockbusters. The FDA on Tuesday approved Amneal’s denosumab biosimilars — near-copies of complex biologic drugs that typically enter at lower prices — as alternatives to Amgen’s Prolia and Xgeva, products with about

Compass (COMP) stock jumps after-hours on Q4 outlook lift and $750 mln notes plan ahead of Anywhere merger

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 19:26 ET — After-hours Compass, Inc. shares rose 9.4% to $11.84 in after-hours trading on Wednesday after the real estate brokerage flagged stronger fourth-quarter performance and detailed financing plans tied to its pending merger with Anywhere Real Estate. The stock swung between $9.90 and $12.58 during the session on volume of about 103 million shares. The timing matters because Compass is trying to lock down funding and momentum before the deal closes. In an SEC filing, Compass said it expects fourth-quarter revenue at the high end of its prior $1.59 billion to $1.69 billion range

KLA stock slides after-hours as chip gear names cool off; India R&D expansion in focus

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 19:14 EST — After-hours KLA Corp shares fell about 2.5% to $1,359.69 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, tracking a late-day pullback in semiconductor equipment stocks. Applied Materials, Lam Research and ASML also ended lower as the S&P 500 slipped and investors rotated back toward a narrow set of mega-cap AI names that lifted the Nasdaq, a Reuters report showed. Reuters That matters for KLA because it sits in the middle of chip-factory spending: it sells process-control tools that inspect wafers for defects and help chipmakers keep yields up.

Credo (CRDO) stock jumps 6% after-hours after insider filings; Needham conference is next focus

New York, January 7, 2026, 18:57 (EST) — After-hours Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd shares rose about 6% to $141 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after swinging between $124.85 and $143.14 in the regular session. The Nasdaq-listed stock is about 6% below its 52-week high of $150.76. The move matters because Credo sits in the middle of the AI data-center buildout trade — a part of semiconductors where sentiment can turn on small scraps of information. When a high-beta stock like this whipsaws in a day, investors usually go looking for a trigger, even if it is just positioning. One

About 10.3 million shares changed hands; the S&P 500 tracker SPY slipped 0.3% while the Nasdaq 100 tracker QQQ edged up 0.1%. The drop lands as Dell tries to reset its consumer and gaming story at the CES trade show and investors argue over a familiar squeeze: higher parts costs, soft demand, and uneven pricing power in PCs. At CES in Las Vegas, Dell

LONDON, Jan 8, 2026, 00:03 GMT Britain’s drinking water watchdog told lawmakers this week that South East Water’s Pembury treatment works showed weeks of worsening performance before supplies to Tunbridge Wells failed, leaving the site “flying blind” without proper electronic monitoring, and that the incident “should not have been a surprise.” UK Parliament Committees The warning comes as MPs take evidence for an inquiry into reforming the water sector, after residents were told on Nov. 29 that tap water was unsafe for drinking and other uses and that advice remained in place until Dec. 12, parliament’s committees service said.
