Experian share price rebounds after bruising slide as traders weigh Q3 update and policy risk

London, Jan 23, 2026, 09:20 GMT — Regular session Experian (EXPN.L) shares climbed 1.1% to 3,050 pence by 0920 GMT on Friday, aiming to end a four-day losing streak.

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 19:38 EST — After-hours Freeport-McMoRan Inc shares slipped 2.9%, ending Thursday at $58.85, moving away from their 52-week high of $62.13. (Freeport-McMoRan Investors) Copper-linked stocks have fallen after a turbulent stretch, as investors grappled with metal prices and the timing of production. For Freeport, the entire schedule depends on Indonesia. Freeport reported better-than-expected Q4 profits, but the spotlight stayed on its Grasberg mine in Indonesia.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan 22, 2026, 13:58 PST Intuitive Surgical topped Wall Street forecasts for Q4 profit and revenue on Thursday, buoyed by steady demand for its da Vinci surgical robots. The news pushed shares 3.3% higher in after-hours trading. (Reuters) Investors are shifting their attention from quarterly sales to procedure growth — the count of surgeries performed using the robots — since that fuels repeat sales of instruments, accessories, and service. Hospitals are still clearing backlogs of postponed care, raising the question of how sustainable that demand will be amid tightening budgets and growing competition. (Reuters) In a recent SEC

Abbott stock sinks 7% after revenue miss, softer Q1 view puts nutrition back in focus

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 10:14 EST — Regular session Abbott Laboratories shares dropped 7.4%, hitting $111.74 in morning trading after falling as low as $106.13. The slide came on the back of a quarterly revenue miss and a cautious outlook on near-term profits. The decline is significant because it brings back a familiar challenge for Abbott: stabilizing nutrition and preventing diagnostics from sliding as COVID-era testing wanes, all while relying on rapidly growing devices. The stock’s movement often hinges on that balance, not just on headline earnings. This comes at a tricky time for the sector. Infant formula has

London, Jan 22, 2026, 09:15 GMT — Regular session Experian (EXPN.L) shares held steady in early London trading Thursday, edging up roughly 0.1% to 3,072 pence after a steep drop the previous day. The stock moved within a 3,066 to 3,116 pence band. (Google) Wednesday’s drop felt more like a reaction to impatience than a straightforward earnings miss.

The stock has now fallen roughly 20% over the past year.
