Intel stock lifts on Melius upgrade as traders brace for Intel’s CES Panther Lake reveal

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:31 ET — Regular session Intel shares were up 0.7% at $39.67 in morning trade on Monday, after giving back earlier gains as the Nasdaq-listed chipmaker drew fresh attention ahead of its CES showcase. The stock is moving with two near-term triggers in play: an analyst upgrade before the bell and a company event later on Monday where Intel plans to outline its next laptop-chip push.

ASML stock just hit another record after Bernstein’s upgrade puts AI memory spending in the spotlight

ASML stock just hit another record after Bernstein’s upgrade puts AI memory spending in the spotlight

AMSTERDAM, Jan 5, 2026, 16:32 CET ASML shares touched a new record on Monday after Bernstein upgraded the Dutch chipmaking equipment maker, pushing its price target sharply higher and extending a run that has turned the stock into one of Europe’s standout technology winners. The upgrade matters now because the next leg of the AI buildout is shifting from compute to memory and manufacturing capacity, raising the stakes for the companies that sell the tools chipmakers need to expand. For ASML, that link is direct. When chipmakers increase capital spending to make more advanced logic chips and higher-end server memory,

Tim Cook’s Nike Stock Buy Sparks Fresh Buzz as Shares Climb Again

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:36 EST Nike shares rose about 2.7% to $65.00 in morning trading on Monday, extending a recent rebound that has drawn fresh attention to insider buying at the sportswear company.

Sandisk stock rises on chip-shortage bets as SNDK heads into Jan. 29 earnings

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 09:44 EST — Regular session Sandisk Corp (SNDK.O) shares rose 2.6% in early trading on Monday, extending a rally in U.S. memory and storage names after reports that chip shortages could translate into higher prices. Micron Technology (MU.O) was up 2.8% and Western Digital (WDC.O) gained 3.1%, Reuters reported. Reuters The move matters because memory pricing can swing quickly when supply tightens. For Sandisk, which sells NAND flash — a type of storage memory used in devices from smartphones to data-center drives — firmer pricing can lift revenue and margins in a business that is

Netflix stock edges higher as CFRA downgrades on Warner Bros. deal risk

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:36 (EST) — Regular session Netflix, Inc. shares rose about 1% to $91.90 on Monday, despite a fresh downgrade that flagged mounting risks around the company’s planned acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery assets. The stock traded between $90.50 and $92.26 in morning dealings. The call keeps focus on the balance-sheet and regulatory questions hanging over Netflix’s biggest strategic bet, at a time when investors have been quick to punish leveraged deals.

GE Aerospace earnings preview: Jan. 22 report to test the rally after a 52-week surge

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:34 EST GE Aerospace will report fiscal fourth-quarter results on Jan. 22, with investors watching whether the jet-engine maker can extend its profit streak after a strong run in the stock. The report matters now because expectations have reset higher across the aerospace supply chain, and GE’s shares have become a referendum on whether engine makers can keep turning heavy maintenance demand into steady cash. Supply-chain constraints are easing, helping GE ramp deliveries of its LEAP engines and expand commercial engine and services orders, Nasdaq wrote. The same analysis noted that faster deliveries can pressure

Broadcom (AVGO) stock slides while chip peers rally — what’s weighing on shares now

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:24 (EST) — Regular session Broadcom Inc shares slid on Monday, bucking a broader lift in chip stocks as investors kept a tight focus on the cost of the AI buildout and what it means for margins across the sector. The move matters because Broadcom sits at the center of the AI infrastructure trade, selling networking silicon and custom chips into hyperscale data centers — large cloud operators that spend heavily on computing capacity. Traders have treated the stock as a proxy for whether AI growth can stay fast without eroding profitability. It also lands

AMD stock rises as CES keynotes near; traders watch Lisa Su and Nvidia updates

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:26 EST — Regular session Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares edged higher on Monday, tracking gains across chip stocks as investors positioned ahead of a pair of CES events featuring the CEOs of AMD and rival Nvidia. The Consumer Electronics Show, which runs in Las Vegas from Jan. 6-9, often sets the tone for early-year product roadmaps in PCs and graphics, and has increasingly become a stage for companies to frame their artificial intelligence strategy.

Enbridge’s 6% dividend pitch meets insider selling as investors size up the pipeline giant

Enbridge’s 6% dividend pitch meets insider selling as investors size up the pipeline giant

Calgary, Jan 5, 2026, 08:19 MST Enbridge Inc’s president, Gregory Ebel, sold about C$22 million worth of shares over the past year, a transaction completed at roughly C$66.72 per share, according to a Simply Wall St analysis published on Monday. The same analysis said insiders have been net sellers, with no recorded purchases in the last quarter. Simply Wall St The insider activity matters because Enbridge is widely held for income, and dividend-paying stocks tend to be judged harshly when confidence in future payouts wobbles. For pipeline operators, the trade-off is familiar: steady cash flows on one side, debt and

AST SpaceMobile stock rises as BlueBird 7 reaches Florida, keeping ASTS launch timeline in focus

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:02 a.m. ET — Regular session AST SpaceMobile, Inc. shares rose in morning trade on Monday, with investors digesting fresh signs the satellite maker is pushing its next launch along. The stock was up 1.1% at $84.43, after trading between $81.22 and $85.63; it closed at $83.47 on Friday. The move matters because AST’s valuation hinges on how quickly it can put enough large satellites into orbit to offer “direct-to-cell” service — meaning a satellite link that works with standard phones, without a dedicated satellite handset. That deployment tempo is the near-term scorecard for traders.

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:25 EST — Regular session EQT Corp shares fell 4.2% to $51.20 in morning trading on Monday, tracking a slide in U.S. natural gas prices at the start of the week. The move matters because producers like EQT sell into a market where winter heating demand can swing quickly with weather forecasts. In January, a few degrees on the map can mean a very different balance between supply and demand. Front-month Henry Hub natural gas futures — the nearest, most actively traded contract — were down about 3.3% at $3.498 per million British thermal units
