Qualcomm stock slips after report flags Samsung 2nm chip talks; earnings next

New York, January 7, 2026, 14:36 EST — Regular session QUALCOMM Incorporated shares fell 2.6% to $177.79 on Wednesday afternoon after Chief Executive Cristiano Amon was quoted by the Korea Economic Daily as saying the chip designer is talking first with Samsung Electronics about contract manufacturing of two‑nanometre (2nm) chips. Qualcomm was not immediately available for comment and Samsung said it does not comment on specific customers, the report said. Reuters The timing matters because 2nm is the next rung on the chipmaking ladder. Smaller process nodes can pack more transistors into the same space, which usually helps speed and

BMNR stock forecast: BitMine slides as crypto cools, with a Jan. 14 vote looming

New York, January 7, 2026, 14:38 EST — Regular session BitMine Immersion Technologies’ shares fell 5.2% to $30.65 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after swinging between $30.24 and $32.81 earlier in the session. The drop matters now because BMNR has turned into a fast-moving proxy for crypto prices, especially ether, and it heads into a shareholder vote that could reshape the stock’s supply. Traders have been treating it less like a miner and more like a liquid, listed claim on a crypto treasury. That vote is on a plan to lift authorized shares — the ceiling on how many shares

ASTS stock price forecast: Scotiabank downgrade hits AST SpaceMobile as targets split wide

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 14:43 EST — Regular session AST SpaceMobile shares slid about 11% on Wednesday after Scotiabank downgraded the satellite-to-smartphone company. The stock was down $10.77 at $86.72 in afternoon trade, after touching $95.25 earlier and a low of $85.37. The drop matters now because ASTS is priced like a timetable. Investors have been leaning on the idea that direct-to-device broadband — 4G and 5G links beamed from orbit to standard phones — moves from tests to paying users sooner rather than later, and without ugly surprises. AT&T said it plans to start offering a “beta” direct-to-device

Bitcoin price forecast: $100,000 bets build as BTC slips below $91,000 before U.S. jobs data

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 14:34 (EST) — Regular session Bitcoin fell on Wednesday, with the world’s largest cryptocurrency down about 1.4% at $90,951. It has traded between $90,629 and $93,734 so far in the session. The pullback lands in a week when macro data are back in charge of the tape, and bitcoin is trading with it. U.S. job openings slid in November and economists expect Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report to show another modest gain, a mix that could shape rate-cut bets and risk appetite in one go.

Oil price forecast: Brent, WTI slide on Trump Venezuela move as 2026 surplus looms

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 14:45 (EST) — Regular session Oil prices fell on Wednesday after President Donald Trump said Venezuela would turn over 30 million to 50 million barrels of sanctioned crude to the United States, feeding fears of more supply in an already well-stocked market. Brent crude futures were down 40 cents, or 0.7%, at $60.31 a barrel by 11:05 a.m. ET, after touching $59.88, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was down 74 cents, or 1.3%, at $56.39 after hitting $55.76; both benchmarks slid more than $1 in the previous session.

Tesla stock price forecast swings: Wall Street split from $25 to $600 ahead of earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 14:35 EST — Regular session Tesla shares edged higher on Wednesday as fresh price forecasts from Wall Street widened the gap between bulls betting on self-driving and bears focused on the car business. The stock was up about 0.6% at $435.40 in afternoon trade. The calls matter because Tesla is due to report fourth-quarter results after the close on Jan. 28, a reset point for expectations on profit, pricing and the timetable for new products. Tesla said earlier this month it delivered 418,227 vehicles in the quarter and deployed a record 14.2 gigawatt-hours of energy

New York, January 7, 2026, 14:27 (ET) — Regular session Valero Energy Corp shares rose 4.4% to $186.08 in afternoon trade on Wednesday after the refiner said it will keep importing gasoline into Northern California as it idles its 145,000-barrel-per-day Benicia refinery in April 2026. Valero plans to begin idling process units in February for mandatory state inspections and expects most units to be properly shut down by April; California Governor Gavin Newsom called the move a “constructive shift” and Valero said it will meet contractual supply obligations by drawing on inventories and imports.
