New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:53 AM ET — Regular session Lumentum Holdings shares dropped 5.4% to $332.28 in late-morning trading Monday, lagging behind a mostly flat U.S. market.

New York, January 12, 2026, 11:10 EST Alphabet reached a $4 trillion market value on Monday, marking a major shift in how investors view the Google parent amid the AI boom. (Reuters) The AI race has morphed into a spending war—chips, data centers, talent—and investors are backing the handful of companies they believe can bankroll this push while keeping margins intact.
