Clorox stock (CLX) ends week higher: what to watch on dividend, Glad shift, ERP fallout

NEW YORK, January 11, 2026, 17:20 EST — Market closed. Shares of The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) rose about 1.9% to $106.19 on Friday, their third straight gain, and beat smaller moves in Procter & Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive as U.S. stocks advanced. Volume was 1.9 million shares, below the stock’s 50-day average, and the close left Clorox about 35% under its 52-week high. (MarketWatch) Why it matters now: investors are still trying to gauge how quickly Clorox can steady shipments after a U.S. enterprise resource planning, or ERP, transition — software that runs ordering, inventory and billing — that disrupted

Experian PLC stock: dividend clock and Jan 21 update in focus after Friday’s 2% rise

London, Jan 11, 2026, 09:45 GMT — Market closed. Experian (EXPN.L) shares climbed 2.1% on Friday, ending at 3,478 pence and outpacing gains in the FTSE 100 during a session cut short by the weekend closure of London markets. Despite the jump, the stock remains roughly 15% below its 52-week peak, with trading volume notably lighter than usual. (MarketWatch) With the market closed, fresh tape is scarce. Investors are focusing squarely on the dividend schedule and upcoming company updates instead of new disclosures. Experian announced its first interim dividend at 21.25 U.S. cents per share, scheduled for payment on Feb.

National Grid share price near 2026 highs as dividend date and rate bets collide

London, Jan 11, 2026, 08:42 GMT — Markets have closed. National Grid shares ended Friday at 1,192.5 pence, climbing 0.8% on the day as the UK utility continued its slow upward trend from earlier this year. (Investing.com) This shift is significant as the stock approaches a dividend week, with National Grid set to pay its interim dividend on Jan. 13, per its investor calendar. (National Grid) It arrives amid a market jittery over rates. Utilities often act as “bond proxies” — a term for sectors whose income streams react to shifts in government yields — and upcoming data could shift

Reckitt (RKT.L) stock near 52-week high after buyback filing as £1.6bn special dividend vote nears

London, January 11, 2026, 08:24 GMT — The market has closed. Reckitt Benckiser Group plc shares wrapped up the week mostly flat, hovering near a new high following a routine update on share buybacks. The stock finished Friday at 6,176 pence, a slight 0.1% gain, after hitting a peak of 6,262 pence earlier in the session.

Tencent stock slips despite HK$636 million buyback — traders eye March results and dividend

Hong Kong, Jan 10, 2026, 23:24 (HKT) — Market closed. Tencent Holdings’ shares on the Hong Kong market slipped Friday, despite the company announcing a fresh batch of buybacks. The stock ended the day at HK$611.00, slipping 0.8%. Repurchases stand out as a sharp, near-term indicator of how Tencent plans to deploy cash given current prices. By buying stock on the open market, buybacks reduce the number of shares outstanding, often aiming to boost earnings per share. All eyes turn to March, when Tencent’s board will review the 2025 annual results and decide on a final dividend. This timing brings

AGNC stock rises toward 52-week high after January dividend, as bond-buy plan stirs mortgage REIT trade

AGNC stock rises toward 52-week high after January dividend, as bond-buy plan stirs mortgage REIT trade

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 08:21 EST — Market closed Shares of AGNC Investment Corp climbed 2% on Friday to close at $11.41. The jump came after the company announced its monthly dividend for January, with investors also responding to a wider housing-rate play. (StockAnalysis) This is significant since AGNC is an agency mortgage REIT, meaning it buys mortgage-backed securities and funds them through borrowing. Its returns often depend on shifts in rates and bond values. Treasury yields fluctuated following a weak U.S. jobs report, which bolstered bets that the Federal Reserve will keep rates unchanged for now. (Reuters) AGNC’s

Reckitt Benckiser stock hits a 52-week high as £1.6bn special dividend clock starts

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:36 GMT — Market closed Reckitt Benckiser Group plc shares closed Friday up 0.1% at 6,176 pence after touching a 12-month high of 6,262 pence, as investors weighed an imminent cash return and the mechanics around it. The stock is up about 3.2% over the past week, data showed. (Hargreaves Lansdown) The market is shut for the weekend, but the timetable is the story now. A one-off payout and an accompanying share consolidation can shift the quoted price in early February even if the underlying value is unchanged, and that tends to pull in short-term positioning.

Mastercard stock slips on ex-dividend day as Apple Card network win, CPI loom

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 20:10 EST — Market closed Mastercard (MA) shares fell 0.8% on Friday to $575.54, after trading between $575.00 and $581.26. The move came on a day Wall Street pushed higher, with the S&P 500 closing at a record after a softer December jobs report. The backdrop matters for payment networks because rate bets and growth fears can quickly spill into spending expectations. (Reuters) Away from the tape, Apple said JPMorgan Chase will become the new issuer of Apple Card, while Mastercard stays on as the payments network. “We’re thrilled to work with Apple and Chase

Singapore, Jan 8, 2026, 15:48 SGT — Regular session Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC) shares were up 0.45% at S$20.15 in afternoon trade on Thursday, holding near the highs set this week after the stock first pushed through the S$20 mark. Investing.com The latest leg comes as Singapore’s big lenders start 2026 on strong footing, helped by dividend appeal and a broader “flight to quality” bid that has pushed DBS and OCBC to fresh all-time highs, even as some analysts warn upside may be harder to find from here.
