Home Depot stock climbs 1.5% as investors brace for jobs data and rate clues

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 21:10 EST — Market closed Home Depot shares (HD.N) ended Tuesday up 1.51% at $349.29, while major U.S. stock indexes closed higher in a risk-on session. The stock remains about 18% below its 52-week high. MarketWatch The move matters because Home Depot sits close to the U.S. housing and renovation cycle, where borrowing costs still shape how much homeowners spend and how often they move. Investors have been looking for clearer signs that lower rates are translating into steadier demand for home-improvement projects. Mortgage costs remain elevated, keeping pressure on turnover and big-ticket remodels that

Ondas (ONDS) stock closes higher as resale filing and Jan. 16 investor day set up next catalyst

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 21:12 (EST) — Market closed Ondas Holdings Inc (ONDS) shares closed up about 2.5% on Tuesday at $12.84, as investors looked ahead to a Jan. 16 investor day where the company plans to outline its 2026 outlook. The stock has also drawn attention since a prospectus supplement filed on Monday registered shares for resale by certain stockholders. SEC+1 The timing matters because Ondas has become a high-volatility trade in early January, and supply headlines can hit harder when a stock is moving fast. A “prospectus supplement” is an SEC document that updates a prior registration

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

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

Intuit (INTU) stock jumps 2% after Truist buy call as TurboTax maker heads into tax season

NEW YORK, Jan 6, 2026, 20:59 EST — Market closed Intuit Inc (INTU.O) shares rose 2.1% on Tuesday after Truist Securities began research coverage with a buy rating and a $739 price target, its forecast for where the stock could trade. The stock closed at $647.20. Investing.com Canada The call lands ahead of the busiest stretch of the U.S. tax season, when demand for TurboTax and paid expert help can swing quarterly results.

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

Astera Labs stock drops after insider sale disclosed; earnings next in focus

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 21:13 EST — Market closed Astera Labs (ALAB.O) shares closed down 3.6% at $161.01 on Tuesday, a second straight decline after a sharp selloff a day earlier. The stock swung between $151.17 and $168.89 in the session as volume rose to about 8.0 million shares. The move landed as investors continued to crowd into chip names tied to data-center buildouts, pushing the Philadelphia semiconductor index up 2.7% to a fresh high. Astera’s drop, against that backdrop, underscored how quickly sentiment can turn in high-valuation AI infrastructure trades. Reuters A Form 4 filing on Tuesday showed

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

Salesforce stock climbs as RBC lifts target to $290, putting AI demand back in play

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:52 EST — Market closed Salesforce Inc (CRM) shares rose 2.6% on Tuesday to $262.90, making it one of the better performers on the Dow Jones Industrial Average as U.S. stocks ended higher. The Dow gained about 1% on the day. The bounce comes as investors test whether high-multiple enterprise software can steady after a shaky start to the year, when concerns about monetizing new AI features weighed on several names. Salesforce trades at about 34 times trailing earnings — a price-to-earnings ratio, which compares a company’s share price to its past profit. AOL RBC

New York, January 6, 2026, 20:51 EST — Market closed KLA Corp (KLAC) shares rose 3.15% to $1,395 on Tuesday, their third straight gain and a new 52-week high, after Cantor Fitzgerald upgraded the chip-equipment maker. The stock touched $1,406 at its session high as the iShares Semiconductor ETF gained 3.3%. The move highlights a broader shift in the AI trade, with investors pushing beyond chip designers into the firms that sell the tools needed to expand capacity. “Investors realize the great data-center build-out is still not reflected across all of the stocks that are impacted,” D.A. Davidson head of

Analog Devices stock jumps 6% as chip index hits a record; traders refocus on analog demand

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:47 EST — Market closed Analog Devices (ADI) shares jumped 5.6% to $292.94 on Tuesday, ending near the day’s high after touching $294.04.

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. StockAnalysis+1 The timing matters because free connectivity has become a tool to pull travelers into loyalty ecosystems that feed high-margin credit-card deals and premium-seat sales. Loyalty programs generated more than $6 billion in revenue for both American and Delta in 2024, Business Insider reported, as airlines leaned harder

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. The move matters because traders have treated Vertiv as a direct play on the infrastructure behind artificial-intelligence computing. Any hint that next-generation chips may change the amount — or mix — of cooling equipment needed in data centers can reprice the group quickly. At the CES technology show in Las Vegas on Monday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company’s
