POSCO Holdings stock jumps 12% after $700 million bond sale — what investors watch next

New York, January 13, 2026, 12:05 (EST) — Regular session POSCO Holdings Inc’s U.S.-listed shares jumped roughly 12% to $60.39 Tuesday, marking their biggest surge in months. The South Korean steelmaker disclosed it raised $700 million through global bonds. (AJU PRESS) This move is significant since offshore funding remains costly and patchy for industrial borrowers, with investors quick to react negatively to any signs of tougher refinancing conditions. For POSCO, securing dollar funding on stricter terms is seen as a statement about its balance sheet, not merely a treasury maneuver. It also shines a light again on what moves the

Meta stock slides as “Meta Compute” plan spotlights AI spending and power risk

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 09:36 EST — Regular session Meta Platforms shares slipped 1.7% to roughly $642 in early New York trading Tuesday following CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of a new “Meta Compute” initiative aimed at expanding the company’s AI infrastructure.

Strategy Inc stock ticks higher after $1.25 billion bitcoin buy funded by fresh share sales

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:23 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc’s shares inched up 0.2% to $157.64 Monday morning following the company’s announcement that it tapped new share sales to finance another sizable bitcoin acquisition. The disclosure comes as bitcoin sits near $91,132, pushing investors to revisit a familiar dilemma: does Strategy’s “bitcoin-first” balance sheet provide an edge, or simply amplify volatility? Dilution is the key issue now. Strategy has been selling securities on the market, then using the proceeds to buy bitcoin. This effectively turns its stock into a leveraged proxy for bitcoin exposure. Strategy revealed in an

New York, January 11, 2026, 09:32 EST — Market closed Azul S.A.’s sponsored preferred ADRs are being closely watched ahead of Monday after the Brazilian airline released board minutes clarifying the terms for a mandatory debenture conversion linked to its Chapter 11 plan in the U.S. The minutes specify a swap ratio of 1,498,422 preferred shares per debenture, contingent on the publication of a confirmation order.

BAE Systems stock ends near 52-week high as Trump payout order sharpens focus on buybacks

London, Jan 11, 2026, 0806 GMT — The market has closed. BAE Systems plc shares closed Friday 1.5% higher at 2,053 pence, holding close to a 52-week peak.

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 15:54 ET — Market closed T-Mobile US, Inc. shares climbed on Friday, buoyed by a strong market, reclaiming the $200 mark. The stock ended up 1.34% at $200.56, even as Verizon and AT&T slipped. Investors are grappling with two key factors that can abruptly shift telecom stocks, often seen as slow movers: financing costs and regulatory risk. These issues linger quietly—until they suddenly don’t. On the financing front, the company is raising debt through a long-term deal just as rate forecasts continue to drive equity multiples.

Azul S.A. Sponsored ADR Pfd (AZULD) faces fresh dilution math after board tweaks debt-to-equity terms

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 09:40 EST — Market closed. Azul S.A.’s U.S.-traded sponsored preferred ADRs grabbed attention again after the Brazilian airline’s board greenlit changes to the mandatory conversion terms for debentures into preferred shares, according to meeting minutes released Friday. This change hits dilution head-on — determining who receives stock, the timing, and the conversion ratio. A debenture represents debt, while a “mandatory conversion” means that debt is forcibly turned into equity, usually increasing the total shares outstanding. The updated clause tightens the schedule. It now connects the conversion to a court “confirmation order” tied to Azul’s Chapter
