New York, Jan 6, 2026, 11:43 EST — Regular session Shares of Lam Research rose about 6.9% to $208.15 on Tuesday after Aletheia Capital analyst Warren Lau began coverage with a buy rating and a $260 price target, saying new products could “further propel” the stock.

Uber stock hit by Melius “Sell” call as robotaxi threat sharpens; Wolfe sets $110 target

NEW YORK, Jan 6, 2026, 11:21 (EST) Uber Technologies (UBER) shares slid on Monday after Melius Research downgraded the ride-hailing company to “sell” and set a $73 price target, as investors weighed rising robotaxi competition.

TechStock² The call lands as autonomous vehicles (AVs), or self-driving cars, move closer to broader commercial use in 2026.

Regulator says Tunbridge Wells water outage was preventable as South East Water boss faces MPs

London, Jan 6, 2026, 16:19 GMT Britain’s Drinking Water Inspectorate said a breakdown at South East Water’s Pembury treatment works in Kent that left 24,000 homes around Tunbridge Wells without safe drinking water for two weeks was spotted weeks earlier and could have been stopped.

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 11:29 EST — Regular session Robinhood Markets, Inc. shares were down 1.7% at $121.20 in late morning trading on Tuesday, lagging a modest rise in U.S. equities as crypto-linked names cooled with bitcoin off its session highs.
