Microchip stock leaps on upbeat sales update as traders eye Feb. 5 results

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 21:27 EST — Market closed Microchip Technology shares closed up 11.6% at $74.87 on Tuesday, after the company lifted its quarterly sales outlook and struck a more upbeat tone on demand. Yahoo Finance The move matters because Microchip is closely tied to industrial and automotive demand, where customers have spent months working down chip stockpiles instead of placing new orders. A shift there can change expectations for a broad slice of the analog and microcontroller supply chain. The update also lifted sentiment across analog semiconductors, with shares of Texas Instruments and NXP Semiconductors rising in

Merck stock in focus after CDC rewrites childhood vaccine schedule, puts Gardasil dosing under a microscope

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:54 (ET) — Market closed Merck & Co. shares rose 1.3% to $108.87 on Tuesday, after U.S. health officials overhauled the childhood immunization schedule and shifted several vaccines away from broad, routine recommendations. The Health and Human Services Department said the revised schedule keeps a core set of vaccines as routine for all children and moves others to high-risk categories or “shared clinical decision-making” — meaning doctors and families weigh the shot based on a child’s risk. HHS also said studies support one dose of the HPV vaccine instead of two and that vaccines on

BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) stock slides after $14.2B crypto stash update as share vote nears

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:50 (ET) — Market closed Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) closed down 3.1% at $32.33 on Tuesday. The stock traded between $31.38 and $34.04, with about 40.5 million shares changing hands. StockAnalysis The Las Vegas-based firm has pushed into a “digital-asset treasury” play — a company whose balance sheet is dominated by crypto rather than operating assets. That can make BMNR trade more like a proxy for ether prices and risk appetite than for day-to-day mining fundamentals. That model is drawing fresh attention after index provider MSCI said it will not implement a proposal

American Airlines (AAL) stock slips after free Wi‑Fi plan; analysts lift targets before earnings

New York, January 6, 2026, 20:03 EST — Market closed American Airlines Group shares fell 1% to $15.67 at Tuesday’s close after the carrier said it would roll out free in-flight Wi‑Fi for customers enrolled in its AAdvantage loyalty program, stepping up a battle among U.S. airlines to lock in frequent flyers.

Vertiv stock (VRT) whipsaws after Nvidia CES cooling claim; earnings next in focus

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:23 EST — Market closed Vertiv Holdings (VRT.N) shares swung sharply on Tuesday but closed up 0.6% at $174.95. The stock fell as low as $162.42 before rebounding, with about 7.8 million shares changing hands.

Bank of America stock (BAC) holds near 52-week high after accounting change trims key capital ratio

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:14 EST — Market closed Bank of America Corp said it changed accounting methods for certain tax-related equity investments, an adjustment that would have cut its common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio — a key measure of bank capital — by 13 basis points as of Sept. 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis. Applied retrospectively, retained earnings as of Sept. 30 fell $1.7 billion and CET1 capital would have decreased about $2.1 billion, it said; it also estimated its third-quarter effective tax rate would have been about 20% versus 10.4% previously reported.
