STMicroelectronics stock price: STM shares brace for Europe open after fresh tariff shock

STMicroelectronics stock price: STM shares brace for Europe open after fresh tariff shock

Paris, Jan 19, 2026, 01:46 CET — The market has closed. STMicroelectronics (STMPA.PA) shares ended Friday at 24.31 euros, slipping 0.3%. Trade tensions are creeping back into focus as the week begins. (StockAnalysis) The timing couldn’t be worse. Chip stocks often act as a barometer for macro trends, and the latest political bombshell over the weekend is hitting right before the European market opens—when liquidity is often thin and price swings tend to be amplified. U.S. stock-index futures dipped following President Donald Trump’s warning of additional tariffs on eight European countries if the U.S. isn’t permitted to purchase Greenland. Deutsche

Renesas stock price slips in Tokyo as yen firms on tariff jitters; Feb 5 results loom

(Investing.com) Currency swings matter more than ever for Japanese tech firms with global reach. Renesas, known for its microcontrollers and other chips powering cars and industrial gear, operates in sectors vulnerable to changing growth forecasts and trade rules. (Reuters)

First Solar stock: FSLR sits steady into MLK Day shutdown as tariff headlines stir futures

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 19:45 (ET) — Market closed First Solar shares ended the day barely changed, up just 0.04% to $243.73, after bouncing between $243.01 and $248.43. Roughly 2 million shares traded hands. U.S. stock and bond markets are closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. (MarketWatch) The pause is significant since solar stocks usually respond to changes in risk appetite and interest-rate expectations, particularly when policy news coincides with a packed economic schedule. With cash markets closed, the initial sentiment is showing up in futures and currencies rather than in the actual stocks. First

U.S. stocks closed nearly flat on Friday, with chipmakers showing strength. Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial, noted the S&P 500 staying “within spitting distance of 7,000” has left most investors feeling comfortable two

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 19:14 EST — Market closed Microchip Technology Incorporated (MCHP.O) shares ended Friday 25 cents higher, a 0.3% gain, closing at $74.70. Tore Svanberg of Stifel bumped the price target to $90 from $80, keeping a buy rating intact. Stifel described Microchip as a “highly diversified, high-performance analog and embedded computing business model.” The updated target implies roughly 20% upside from Friday’s close. (TipRanks) The timing matters more than the size of the move itself. Microchip’s business hinges on chips used in factory production and auto assembly lines, not just data-center spending.

Analog Devices stock: Oppenheimer lifts target, but ADI slips into MLK market break

The stock headed into the extended U.S. holiday weekend under pressure. Why it matters now: with the market shut on Monday, chip investors face a shortened week as they weigh if demand is gaining traction beyond tech’s hottest sectors. For ADI, the next move hinges less on a single rating update and more on whether orders from industrial and automotive clients continue to recover. (NASDAQ Trader) ADI ended the session at $300.25, slipping

Schwab, a major player in retail brokerage and banking, provides insights through its results on client trading activity, cash holdings, and fee revenue as the market reassesses rates and risk appetite.
