KLA (KLAC) stock rises after Cantor upgrade as CES AI headlines keep chip tools in focus

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 13:26 EST — Regular session KLA Corp shares rose 3.4% to $1,398.66 in afternoon trading on Tuesday after Cantor Fitzgerald upgraded the $187 billion process-control toolmaker and lifted its price target. Cantor analyst C.J. Muse raised the rating to “overweight” from “neutral” and increased the target to $1,500 from $1,350, according to MarketScreener and StreetInsider. Cantor tied the call to an AI-led semiconductor upcycle that it said is becoming constrained by manufacturing capacity rather than demand, arguing KLA is positioned to benefit from heavier investment at advanced chipmaking nodes.

New York, January 6, 2026, 13:15 EST — Regular session Hecla Mining (HL.N) shares jumped 11.6% to $22.02 in afternoon trading, after touching an intraday high of $22.19.

Albemarle stock jumps nearly 10% as analysts lift targets on lithium rebound

NEW YORK, Jan 6, 2026, 13:25 ET — Regular session Albemarle Corp (ALB.N) shares rose 9.9% to $160.62 in early afternoon trading on Tuesday, after closing at $146.13 the day before. The stock hit an intraday high of $164.88. The move matters because Albemarle’s earnings and cash flow tend to track lithium prices, which have been squeezed by a supply glut since late 2022. Investors are now focusing on grid storage — large battery packs that store power for the electricity grid — as a fast-growing source of battery demand. A Reuters report this week said lithium demand for energy

Regencell Bioscience (RGC) stock jumps again: what to know behind the latest sharp swing

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 12:38 (EST) — Regular session Regencell Bioscience Holdings Ltd shares rose 18.3% to $31.99 on Tuesday, after touching $34.40 earlier and sliding as low as $26.60.

GE Aerospace stock rises on supersonic test update — what traders are watching next

New York, January 6, 2026, 13:24 EST — Regular session GE Aerospace stock was up about 0.7% at $326.65 on Tuesday, after a contractor said it had wrapped up a supersonic flight test campaign tied to GE’s high-speed propulsion work. The disclosure keeps attention on defense-linked development programs as the Pentagon backs newer propulsion options and seeks faster test cycles. For GE, any sign of progress in advanced propulsion adds to a narrative that goes beyond its core jet-engine aftermarket business. The update also comes with the company’s next quarterly report in view. GE Aerospace is scheduled to hold its

Amazon’s $125 billion AI spending spree has investors fixated on what happens in 2026

Seattle, January 6, 2026, 10:03 PST Amazon.com shares rose nearly 4% on Tuesday as investors again weighed the company’s outsize spending on artificial intelligence and data centers against the promise of faster growth in 2026.

The scrutiny comes as U.S. tech giants pour tens of billions of dollars into the servers, chips and power-hungry facilities needed to train and run new AI models.

Carvana stock edges higher after COO share sales filing puts spotlight on insiders

NEW YORK, Jan 6, 2026, 13:22 EST — Regular session Carvana Co. shares were up about 1% at $434.50 on Tuesday, giving the online used-car retailer’s stock a modest lift in regular U.S. trading.

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 13:08 EST — Regular session Western Digital shares jumped 15.8% to $217.54 in early afternoon trade on Tuesday, as investors piled back into data-storage names tied to AI infrastructure spending. AP News The move matters because storage and memory names have become a proxy for AI capital spending. Samsung co-CEO TM Roh called the current supply squeeze “unprecedented,” as makers divert capacity to high-bandwidth memory — specialized DRAM used in AI servers — and prices in some segments have more than doubled, TrendForce data show.
