Rocket Lab stock slips on KeyBanc downgrade as insider sale filing lands

Rocket Lab stock slips on KeyBanc downgrade as insider sale filing lands

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:56 EST — After-hours Shares of Rocket Lab Corporation slipped Thursday following a downgrade from KeyBanc, halting a recent rally that had drawn attention to the space company’s valuation. The stock closed down 1.13% at $90.76 and later dipped another 0.53% to $90.28 in after-hours trading. (Investing.com) The downgrade hits hard because Rocket Lab is now seen as a high-beta proxy for “space-and-defense” enthusiasm, with its shares acting like they depend on fresh catalysts. In that environment, one company’s pullback can spark rapid selling. This follows a steep climb that leaves minimal margin for missteps,

AppLovin stock slides again even after Evercore calls it ‘dominant’ — what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 17:42 ET — After-hours AppLovin Corp shares dipped once more on Thursday, ending the day 1.8% lower at $606.99, following a steep 7.6% tumble on Wednesday. (Yahoo Finance) The recent drop is significant since AppLovin has been behaving like a momentum stock — fast surges followed by steep falls. Just two sessions can inflict serious damage, especially with investors jittery over big-tech valuations and the direction of ad spending this quarter. AppLovin’s stock, which surged roughly 104% in 2025, has hit a rough patch in early 2026. The price action has been volatile recently. (Barron’s)

Lam Research stock rises after hours as TSMC capex signal and analyst upgrades lift chip tools

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 17:24 EST — After-hours Lam Research shares climbed 4.2% to $217.47 in after-hours trading Thursday, buoyed by strength in semiconductor equipment stocks and a flurry of broker upgrades that thrust the company back into the spotlight. The picture shifted quickly after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co revealed higher spending plans for 2026, a key indicator for chipmaking equipment. CEO C.C. Wei warned of risks despite the bold investment push: “We’re also very nervous about it. If we did not do it carefully, that would be a disaster for TSMC.” (Reuters) For Lam, the stakes are high

Broadcom stock closes higher on TSMC-fueled chip rally — then slips after hours

New York, January 15, 2026, 16:36 ET — After-hours trading Broadcom shares ended Thursday’s session up, lifted by a bounce in chip stocks following a positive forecast from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), a major AI hardware supplier. However, the stock dipped in after-hours trading, where thinner volume often leads to sharper price moves. (Public) This move is significant since Broadcom has served as a litmus test for the entire “AI trade” — robust demand on one side, policy uncertainty on the other. This week’s trading has been volatile, with semiconductors swinging sharply on even minor headlines. This also highlights

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 16:21 EST — After-hours Apple Inc shares slipped roughly 0.7% to $258.32 in after-hours trading Thursday, following a Reuters report that India’s competition authority has issued a final warning to the iPhone maker in an ongoing antitrust probe over its app store. (Reuters) India’s Competition Commission warned it will move forward “unilaterally” if Apple fails to respond by next week, citing repeated delays. Apple has expressed concern over potential fines reaching $38 billion if penalties are based on “global turnover,” or worldwide revenue. The Delhi High Court is set to revisit Apple’s related challenge on

NEW YORK, January 15, 2026, 15:50 EST Shares of Robinhood Markets dipped 7.4% to $110.83 in late-afternoon trading Thursday. Investors are zeroing in on the company’s upcoming earnings report on Feb. 10. Robinhood plans to release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after the market closes that day, followed by a video call with CEO Vlad Tenev and incoming CFO Shiv Verma. (Nasdaq) The pullback is significant because expectations surged quickly.

SoFi stock slides as “Trump Accounts” match plan puts investing story back in focus

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 15:43 EST — Regular session SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) shares fell about 1.7% to $26.22 in afternoon trading on Thursday, after the company rolled out an employee benefit tied to the federal government’s new “Trump Accounts” program. The stock has ranged from $26.22 to $27.33 in the session, with about 40.7 million shares traded. The move matters because the program points to a new category of government-seeded, long-horizon investment accounts — and a scramble over who gets to hold them. For SoFi, it is another attempt to deepen its investing business and keep customers inside

Freeport-McMoRan stock near $60 as copper AI demand and Indonesia risks collide ahead of earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 15:00 (EST) — Regular session Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) shares were little changed at $60.34 in afternoon trade on Thursday, holding near a 52-week high after closing at $60.35 on Wednesday. The stock ranged from $58.73 to $60.60 so far in the session. (MarketWatch) Copper has been the driver, again, after Rio Tinto said it will supply copper for Amazon’s AI data centers.

Lumentum stock pops after Barclays doubles target — what traders are watching next

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 14:35 EST — Regular session Lumentum Holdings Inc shares rose 5.1% to $348.68 on Thursday, clawing back part of Wednesday’s losses as investors shifted focus back to high-beta AI infrastructure stocks. This move is significant since Lumentum now serves as a quick indicator of spending on faster data links within data centers, where operators are replacing copper with optical equipment to handle growing AI workloads. Risk appetite got a boost after weekly U.S. jobless claims dropped to 198,000, signaling layoffs are still low despite a slowdown in hiring. Initial claims track new unemployment benefit filings

Booking Holdings stock steadies as U.S. visa move keeps travel names on edge (BKNG)

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 14:10 ET — Regular session Booking Holdings Inc. common stock held steady Thursday after slipping the previous day, as investors weighed the U.S. move to suspend immigrant visa processing for dozens of countries and its potential hit to travel demand. This issue is especially urgent now, with online travel agencies playing a key role in cross-border travel. Any shift in U.S. entry, work, or settlement policies can ripple through airline routes, hotel reservations, and the wider travel system. The timing has put inbound travel rules under the microscope with the 2026 World Cup looming across
