Chevron stock price forecast: CVX slips as $22 bln Lukoil bid talk and Venezuela oil control jolt the outlook

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 15:29 EST — Regular session Chevron fell 0.9% to $155.17 in afternoon trade after Reuters reported private equity group Quantum Energy Partners is working on a bid that could involve the U.S. oil major for Lukoil’s international assets. A Chevron spokesperson said the company “continues to assess potential opportunities,” but declined to comment on commercial matters. Reuters The Chevron stock price forecast is suddenly less about refinery margins and more about politics, with Washington moving to take a hand in Venezuelan crude sales. “We need to have that leverage and that control of those oil

SoFi stock price forecast: BofA’s $20.50 target clashes with Barclays’ $28 as earnings loom

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 15:46 ET — Regular session SoFi Technologies shares were down about 0.1% at $26.96 on Wednesday afternoon, with roughly 37.5 million shares traded. The stock ended Tuesday at $26.98, down 7.9% from Monday’s $29.28 close. Nasdaq The slide has put the SoFi stock price forecast back under a harsh light, with investors weighing dilution from the company’s latest equity raise against the case for faster growth into 2026. Earnings later this month are the next hard checkpoint, and the tape is telling traders to keep their seatbelts on. In a filing, SoFi said underwriters exercised
Apple stock price forecast: AAPL slides as memory costs rise and earnings near

Apple stock price forecast: AAPL slides as memory costs rise and earnings near

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 15:49 EST — Regular session Apple shares fell 0.6% to $260.78 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, sliding to a session low. Evercore analyst Amit Daryanani stuck with a $325 target — about 25% above that level — even as he pointed to a projected 40%-50% jump in NAND flash and DRAM memory prices in early 2026, Barron’s reported. Barron’s The move matters because Apple remains a bellwether for big U.S. tech, and its next earnings report is close enough to shape positioning. Investors want proof the company can defend margins while selling expensive hardware into

BBAI stock price forecast: BigBear.ai slips under $6 as downgrade meets Jan. 16 note deadline

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 15:30 ET — Regular session Shares of BigBear.ai Holdings slid about 6.6% to $5.99 on Wednesday afternoon, as a brokerage downgrade cooled sentiment in the small-cap AI name. The stock was down about 42 cents from the prior close of $6.41 and traded between $5.99 and $6.35 in the session. Google The timing matters because BigBear.ai is heading into a Jan. 16 redemption of its 6% convertible notes due 2029 — debt that can turn into stock. The company said it expects to eliminate about $125 million of debt largely through conversions and plans to

Google stock price forecast: Alphabet rises after Canaccord lifts target to $390

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 15:30 EST — Regular session Alphabet’s Class A shares rose 2.5% to $322.25 on Wednesday, near the day’s high, after Canaccord Genuity raised its price target for the Google parent. The stock hit an intraday high of $326.11 and was up $7.91 from Tuesday’s close. The move puts a new “Google stock price forecast” back in play just as investors rotate into the biggest AI-linked names again. Big targets matter more when a stock is already near record levels and the next leg higher needs steady earnings, not just a good story. U.S. stocks were

Uber stock price forecast: Robotaxi debut, analyst targets and the next catalysts for UBER

New York, January 7, 2026, 15:28 EST — Regular session Uber Technologies shares rose 0.7% to $86.10 on Wednesday after Uber and partners Lucid and Nuro debuted a production-intent robotaxi at CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas. Uber, which sold its self-driving unit to Aurora Innovation in 2020, has since leaned on partnerships to bring robotaxis onto its app. The stock traded between $85.16 and $87.73. The robotaxi push matters now because it puts a fresh question on Uber’s stock price forecast: how much of each fare Uber keeps when cars drive themselves. Melius Research cut Uber to

CoreWeave stock price forecast: Wall Street still sees $121 target after Nvidia Rubin news, but shares wobble

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 15:29 EST — Regular session CoreWeave shares were down about 0.6% at $77.51 in afternoon trading on Wednesday after swinging between $75.77 and $79.92. The CoreWeave stock price forecast looks messy: analyst targets tracked by Benzinga ranged from $36 to $180 over the past quarter, with an average of $121.48, down from $142. Benzinga Why it matters now: CoreWeave just put new product headlines back on the tape, tying its outlook even tighter to Nvidia’s chip roadmap. The company said it plans to add Nvidia’s next Rubin platform to its cloud and expects to deploy it

Costco stock price forecast: Wall Street’s $1,000 call meets a holiday-sales test after the bell

New York, January 7, 2026, 15:41 EST — Regular session Costco Wholesale Corp shares eased on Wednesday as traders braced for a December sales update due after the bell, a report that could reset near-term views on the stock. The shares were down 0.6% at $884.07 in afternoon trade. The timing matters. Costco’s monthly sales releases are one of the few hard reads investors get between earnings on holiday demand, traffic and membership momentum — the engine that helps fund profits. It also lands at an awkward moment for forecasts. The stock is still well below last year’s peak, and

Texas InstrumentsTexas Instruments stock slides 3.6% as chip rally cools; Jan. 27 earnings call in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 15:30 ET — Regular session Texas Instruments Incorporated shares were down 3.6% at $185.23 in late afternoon trading on Wednesday, after closing at $192.10 a day earlier. NXP Semiconductors fell 3.1%, while Microchip Technology slid 2.0% and Analog Devices and ON Semiconductor each dipped about 0.4%. The pullback matters because Texas Instruments is widely watched as a bellwether for analog chips used in factory gear and cars, markets that have been stuck in an inventory unwind. Investors have been quick to trade the stock on small shifts in demand signals. This week’s moves underline how

Merck stock slips after Cidara tender offer; $9 billion R&D hit and HPV schedule shift in focus

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 15:40 (EST) — Regular session Merck & Co (MRK.N) shares were down about 0.3% at $108.59 in afternoon trade on Wednesday after the drugmaker said it had completed its cash tender offer for Cidara Therapeutics (CDTX.O) and expected to finish the acquisition through a merger later in the day. The company said the deal will be treated as an asset acquisition, lifting 2026 research and development expense by about $9.0 billion and cutting earnings per share by roughly 30 cents in the first 12 months. “The acquisition of Cidara strengthens and complements our expanding respiratory

Oracle stock price forecast: Wall Street splits as UBS cuts to $280 and Jefferies sticks with $400

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 15:31 EST — Regular session Oracle shares were little changed on Wednesday as investors digested fresh analyst calls that painted a wide 12-month path for the stock. The shares were down 0.1% at $193.52 in mid-afternoon trade, after touching $195.49 earlier in the session. Why it matters now: Oracle has become a proxy for investor nerves around debt-funded AI data-center buildouts and customer concentration. UBS analyst Karl Keirstead cut his price target to $280 from $325 on Monday while keeping a “Buy” rating, saying the roughly 41% slide from mid-September highs showed confidence has cracked

RTX stock hits fresh high on FAA radar deal — can the rally hold into earnings?

RTX stock hits fresh high on FAA radar deal — can the rally hold into earnings?

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 15:34 EST RTX shares were down 1.8% at $187.06 in afternoon New York trading on Wednesday after earlier touching $193.73, as investors pushed the aerospace and defense contractor to another new high in a choppy session. The move matters now because RTX is tied into two big pipes of spending at once: a U.S. push to rebuild air traffic control infrastructure and a longer-running surge in defense orders. Those programs tend to stretch over years, the kind of work that can steady revenue even when the cycle turns. It also lands just weeks before RTX
