BHP share price faces a Tuesday test as operational review looms and iron ore cools

Sydney, January 18, 2026, 17:08 AEDT — The market has closed.

FuboTV stock pops after $140.2 million 2026 note buyback eases debt crunch

New York, January 14, 2026, 16:05 EST FuboTV repurchased $140.2 million of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, using cash to retire debt maturing next month.

Shanghai, Jan 18, 2026, 09:20 CST — Market closed Piotech Inc’s Class A shares on the Shanghai exchange climbed 3.67% Friday, finishing at 385.68 yuan following a block trade by an institutional investor. The stock has gained 7.26% over the last five sessions.

(Reuters) The sector drew attention after Reuters revealed in late December that Chinese fabs must

Fabrinet stock: FN slips into long weekend — what investors watch before Tuesday’s open

New York, January 17, 2026, 19:58 EST — Market closed. Fabrinet shares slipped heading into the long U.S. weekend, ending Friday down 0.63% at $494.45. The stock was last at $485.00 in after-hours trading, which takes place outside the regular 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET session. (StockAnalysis) That matters because markets are shut on Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, leaving fewer sessions for investors to adjust risk. Fabrinet has been swinging around with the rest of high-growth tech, and thin holiday tape can exaggerate moves. U.S. stocks finished nearly flat on Friday, with the S&P 500
