New York, Jan 23, 2026, 18:06 ET — After-hours Shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co dipped 1.95% on Friday, finishing at $297.72, before slipping another 0.07% in after-hours trading to $297.50.

Broadcom stock slides as Intel shock ripples through chips ahead of Fed decision

New York, January 23, 2026, 14:49 EST — Regular session Broadcom Inc shares fell 1.6% to $320.14 in Friday afternoon trading.

The pullback is significant because chip stocks have shifted back to reacting to macroeconomic factors rather than company-specific news. Next week’s Federal Reserve rate decision, along with a packed earnings schedule from major U.S. tech firms, could reshape investor expectations for growth. Broadcom straddles that fault line.
