JPMorgan Chase stock slips after hours as Apple Card switch sharpens focus on next week’s earnings

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 18:16 (EST) — After-hours Shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) dipped 0.2% to $329.19 in after-hours trading Friday as investors digested the bank’s move to take over the Apple Card program from Goldman Sachs. JPMorgan flagged a $2.2 billion provision for credit losses tied to the forward purchase of the portfolio. (Reuters) The timing feels off, even by market standards. JPMorgan reports Tuesday, kicking off a stretch of big-bank earnings that investors rely on for clues about the economy and consumer health. Citigroup, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs follow later in the week.

Citigroup stock ticks up as CPI, Citi earnings set next test

New York, January 9, 2026, 12:49 (ET) — Regular session Citigroup shares were up 0.8% at $121.53 on Friday, with investors leaning into the start of U.S. bank earnings season next week and a key inflation report that could shift rate bets. Stocks have opened 2026 calmly, but strategists say the quiet could break as earnings and macro data hit. “As we’re starting January, the market may be underappreciating some of the events on the horizon,” Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Investment Management, said. (Reuters) The bank reports start with JPMorgan on Jan. 13, followed by Citigroup,

JPMorgan stock today: Apple Card deal puts JPM in the spotlight as earnings near

New York, January 9, 2026, 11:03 EST — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares rose 0.4% to $331.12 on Friday after the bank agreed to replace Goldman Sachs as the issuer of Apple’s credit card, broadening its consumer lending footprint just ahead of earnings. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund was down about 0.1%, while the KBW Bank ETF was little changed. (Reuters) The agreement is expected to shift more than $20 billion of Apple Card balances to Chase once it closes, though the transition is expected to take roughly 24 months and remains subject to regulatory approvals, the

NatWest share price today: NWG slips as buyback ticks on and Barclays cools ahead of Feb results

NatWest share price today: NWG slips as buyback ticks on and Barclays cools ahead of Feb results

London, January 9, 2026, 11:38 GMT — Regular session NatWest Group Plc (NWG.L) shares eased on Friday, down 0.3% at 642.4 pence, as investors weighed the pace of the bank’s buyback and a recent broker downgrade. The stock opened at 644.6p and has traded between 640.2p and 647.2p. (London South East) The drift matters because NatWest’s rally has turned capital returns into the main debate. Buybacks and dividends can lift earnings per share by shrinking the share count, but they hinge on how much surplus capital the bank can generate and keep. The next big marker is close. NatWest is

Barclays stock slips as stablecoin bet, buyback update land ahead of key data

Barclays stock slips as stablecoin bet, buyback update land ahead of key data

London, Jan 9, 2026, 10:58 GMT — Regular session Barclays shares dipped on Friday as investors weighed the lender’s first bet on stablecoin settlement infrastructure, announced earlier this week. The stock was down 0.2% at 483.7 pence by 1058 GMT, while the FTSE 100 was up 0.4%. (Hargreaves Lansdown) The move is small, but it lands in a market that is suddenly picky about what banks do with capital. Investors want buybacks and clean balance sheets, and they want any push into crypto-adjacent plumbing to stay inside the regulatory fence. Barclays framed the Ubyx investment as a way to connect

Lloyds share price slips under £1 as UK housing cools and results near

London, Jan 9, 2026, 10:51 GMT — Regular session Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) shares edged lower on Friday, down 0.37% at 99.68 pence by 1051 GMT after earlier touching 100.50 pence. The stock was trading just below Thursday’s close of 100.05 pence. (London South East) For UK lenders, the near-term question is whether a softer housing backdrop and shifting rate expectations start to show up in volumes and pricing. Lloyds is closely tied to the mortgage market, and the next update is close enough to keep positioning jumpy. House-price data on Thursday showed the market cooled at year-end. Halifax said

HSBC stock in focus after France tax settlement as Hang Seng buyout clock ticks

London, Jan 9, 2026, 10:51 GMT — Regular session HSBC Holdings Plc shares edged lower on Friday after the bank agreed to pay 267.5 million euros ($312 million) to the French treasury to settle an investigation into alleged dividend tax fraud. The stock was down 2.8 pence at 1,192.6 pence in London, while its U.S.-listed shares were up 23 cents at $80.49. The timing matters because HSBC has been trading near recent highs and investors have been counting on clean capital returns in 2026, not fresh legal bills. Any hit to capital, even if manageable, lands just as the bank

Commonwealth Bank shares slip as RBA warns inflation still “too high”; Feb results in focus

Sydney, Jan 9, 2026, 16:51 AEDT — Market closed Commonwealth Bank of Australia shares closed down 0.08% at A$153.22 on Friday, after sliding as far as A$152.43 and topping out at A$154.97. The stock traded about 950,000 shares, while the S&P/ASX 200 ended nearly flat, down 0.03%. The move is small, but it lands in a market that is trying to reset its rate view. For CBA, the biggest driver is still the interest-rate path and what that does to housing credit, deposit pricing and bank margins. That focus sharpened on Thursday after Reserve Bank of Australia Deputy Governor Andrew

Goldman Sachs stock slips after Apple Card handoff to JPMorgan — what Wall Street watches next

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 20:58 EST — Market closed The Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS) is handing the Apple Card to JPMorgan Chase’s (JPM) Chase unit, ending the Wall Street bank’s stint as issuer of the co-branded card, the companies said. Goldman shares slipped 0.66% to $934.83 on Thursday. Mastercard will remain the payment network. The handoff lands just ahead of earnings, and it sharpens Goldman’s retreat from consumer lending, a push that has drawn investor scrutiny for years. “This transaction substantially completes the narrowing of our focus in our consumer business,” Chief Executive David Solomon said.

Bank of America stock climbs as India regulator notice lands before earnings — what to watch for BAC

New York, January 8, 2026, 20:49 EST — Market closed Shares of Bank of America (BAC) climbed nearly 1% on Thursday, following a Reuters report that India’s markets regulator charged a Bank of America unit with violating insider trading rules in a 2024 stock sale. The timing feels off. Major U.S. banks begin their earnings reports next week, with Bank of America among the first to take the stage. Investors are already focused on expenses and income that shifts with rates, so new compliance news could quickly grab attention. It also matters because the stock has tracked the sector’s rate
