QXO stock drops on $750 million share sale pricing and early Q4 snapshot

Why Freeport-McMoRan stock is slipping as copper cools — and what to watch next

New York, January 16, 2026, 15:22 EST — during regular trading hours Freeport-McMoRan shares dropped almost 2%, closing Friday afternoon at $58.78, down $1.18. Trading volume hit roughly 15.5 million shares. The move is significant because FCX has been moving like a copper proxy during a period when the metal’s price is driven by policy risks and positioning rather than daily demand shifts. Copper recently climbed above $13,000 a metric ton, Reuters Breakingviews reported, as traders hoarded in anticipation of possible U.S. tariffs and supply disruptions affected producers.

New York, January 16, 2026, 14:16 EST — Regular session Procter & Gamble (PG.N) shares slipped roughly 0.6% to $143.76 in afternoon trading on Friday, mirroring a decline seen across the broader consumer staples sector.

P&G said this price is well below the current trading level. According to the company, mini-tender offers target less than 5% of outstanding shares and dodge some of the safeguards that apply to larger tender offers under U.S. securities laws.

Eaton stock jumps on HSBC upgrade as data-center power demand grabs the tape

New York, January 16, 2026, 13:50 EST — Regular session Eaton Corporation plc shares climbed roughly 3.6% to $345.36 in Friday afternoon trading following HSBC’s upgrade to Buy. The bank also lifted its price target on the power-management firm from $390 to $400. HSBC highlighted Eaton’s “diversified” portfolio and noted its clear “above-market growth prospects,” while downplaying concerns tied to recent softening in the AI supply chain.
