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

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.

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
