Micron (MU) stock jumps before the bell as TSMC outlook sparks chip rally

Micron (MU) stock jumps before the bell as TSMC outlook sparks chip rally

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 07:30 (EST) — Premarket Micron Technology shares climbed 3.1% to $343.67 in premarket trade Thursday, rebounding after a 1.4% drop the day before. (Public) This move is significant because Micron has turned into a quick play on the memory shortage fueling the AI surge. High-bandwidth memory (HBM) — the stacked DRAM positioned near AI chips for rapid data transfer — remains the scarcest segment of the market, and even slight changes in sentiment can slam the stock. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s better-than-expected quarter and upbeat spending outlook set the tone for chip stocks. U.S. index

XPeng stock slips before the open on 600,000-vehicle 2026 target — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 07:40 EST — Premarket Xpeng’s U.S.-listed shares (XPEV) dipped 2.2% to $20.58 in premarket trading Thursday. The drop follows a Reuters report revealing that the Volkswagen-backed Chinese EV maker aims to sell between 550,000 and 600,000 vehicles in 2026, according to an internal strategy meeting. The stock last closed near $21.05. (Reuters) The figures are key because they push the monthly target up: 36Kr reported the plan calls for average deliveries exceeding 45,800 to 50,000 vehicles each month. The outlet also noted Xpeng is doubling down on extended-range models—vehicles with a fuel-powered generator to recharge

TSMC jolts Wall Street futures higher as chip stocks pop before the open

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 06:09 EST — Premarket U.S. stock index futures edged up Thursday as semiconductor stocks gained momentum following Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s report of strong demand and plans for expanding U.S. capacity. S&P 500 futures climbed 0.32%, with Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.74%. Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA each jumped roughly 5% to 6% in premarket trading. (Reuters) The shift follows a tougher run for big tech and a second consecutive drop for the main U.S. indexes. On Wednesday, the Nasdaq lost 1%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.5%, and the Dow edged down 0.1%, with

Gold price slips from record high as GLD stock dips premarket; miners in focus

New York, January 15, 2026, 06:10 ET — Premarket update. Gold-backed stocks slipped in U.S. premarket Thursday, as the bullion rally took a breather and investors digested a softer geopolitical risk environment. SPDR Gold Shares, the top gold ETF in the U.S., last changed hands at $424.68, off roughly 0.3% from its previous close. (Investing.com) Gold’s recent moves are notable, with investors snapping it up as a safe haven amid political and policy upheaval. The metal has jumped over 6% in just the first 13 days of 2026, following a 64% surge last year. Major brokerages have even suggested $5,000
Lottery.com stock steadies premarket after 80% surge, volatility pause puts SEGG in focus

Lottery.com stock steadies premarket after 80% surge, volatility pause puts SEGG in focus

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 05:34 EST — Premarket Lottery.com Inc shares were little changed in premarket trading on Thursday, holding near $0.93 after a blistering run in the prior session that put the microcap back on traders’ screens. The jump matters because SEGG normally trades like a thin, low-priced name. When volume suddenly spikes, price can gap hard and liquidity can vanish just as quickly, especially around the open. It also leaves investors with a simple question: was Wednesday’s move tied to fresh news, or was it a momentum burst that could unwind just as fast once the bell
AppLovin stock (APP) steadies in premarket after a brutal slide — Evercore’s new buy call is the test

AppLovin stock (APP) steadies in premarket after a brutal slide — Evercore’s new buy call is the test

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 05:37 EST — Premarket AppLovin shares edged up $2.28, or 0.37%, to $620.04 in premarket trading Thursday, rebounding from a 7.61% drop that sent them down to $617.76 at Wednesday’s close. (Public) This swing is significant since AppLovin has turned into a momentum-driven stock once more — it can surge sharply, then fall even faster when risk appetite cools. A one-day plunge like Wednesday’s usually attracts both bargain hunters and rapid-fire sellers, leading to lighter trading volume early on. Analyst coverage and any negative headlines hit harder than normal. Traders are scrambling to tell apart

Lam Research stock pops before the open as analysts turn bullish ahead of earnings

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 05:29 EST — Premarket Lam Research shares jumped 6.5% in premarket action Thursday, recovering ground lost the day before after new analyst coverage refocused attention on the chip-equipment maker. The stock last traded around $222.38, up from Wednesday’s $208.79 close. (Public) Moves like this carry extra weight for semiconductor equipment stocks, since the story hinges on spending plans — when and how much chipmakers shell out for gear. Lam, a key player in etch and deposition tools, is set to report late January, with investors eager to see if demand extends beyond just a handful

Applied Materials stock jumps 6% premarket as TSMC capex outlook lifts chip-tool names

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 05:35 EST — Premarket Applied Materials, Inc shares jumped 6.6% to $321.69 in premarket trading on Thursday, after the chip equipment maker ended Wednesday down nearly 1% at $301.89. (Public) The move tracked a broader bid in semiconductor supply names after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co posted a forecast-smashing jump in quarterly profit and laid out a higher capital spending plan. Chief Executive C.C. Wei struck a cautious tone even as TSMC talked up AI demand, saying, “We’re also very nervous about it.” (Investing.com) RBC Capital also helped set the tone on Applied Materials, initiating coverage

Airbnb stock (ABNB) drops 5%: tourism warning, new AI CTO and insider sale in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 05:06 EST — Premarket Airbnb shares dropped 5.2% on Wednesday, closing at $132.79 ahead of Thursday’s session. Booking Holdings fell 2.3%, while Expedia Group slid 3.1%. Shares of online travel companies tumbled after the World Travel & Tourism Council reported a 6% decline in foreign visitors to the U.S. in 2025, despite a 6.7% rise in global tourism spending that pushed the total to $11.7 trillion. “We have not seen the impact of overtourism,” said WTTC interim President and CEO Gloria Guevara. (Reuters) This hits Airbnb hard since a drop in inbound trips can undercut
Twilio stock steadies in premarket after 5% drop as tech nerves linger

Twilio stock steadies in premarket after 5% drop as tech nerves linger

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 04:58 EST — Premarket action underway. Twilio Inc’s shares climbed roughly 1.7% to $124.92 in premarket action on Thursday, rebounding after a 5.2% drop the day before that left the stock at $123.03 at Wednesday’s close. Timing is key. Investors have been rapidly offloading pricey tech and software stocks, only to snap some back almost immediately, as earnings season expands and geopolitical news floods the tape. Twilio’s initial rebound offers a glimpse into whether Wednesday’s selloff was driven mainly by macro factors — and if dip-buyers remain ready to jump in when the Nasdaq falters.

Rivian stock slips in premarket after UBS turns bearish — what could move RIVN next

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 05:00 ET — Premarket Rivian Automotive’s shares eased 0.2% to $17.47 in premarket trading on Thursday, after the stock sank 7.2% in the previous session. The slide followed a UBS downgrade that questioned whether optimism around the EV maker’s next model and software push is already in the price. (Public) UBS analyst Joseph Spak cut Rivian to Sell from Hold and lifted his 12-month price target — his forecast for where the stock could trade — to $15 from $13, Barron’s reported. Spak wrote the stock had gone “too far too fast” and warned that

ROLR stock: High Roller holds premarket after 437% surge on Crypto.com prediction-markets plan

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 04:54 EST — Premarket High Roller Technologies, Inc. shares were indicated near $18.89 in early premarket Thursday following a sharp jump the previous day, spurred by news involving Crypto.com’s U.S. derivatives unit. The stock closed Wednesday’s regular session soaring 436.65% to $18.89, backed by trading volume well beyond the usual levels. With a limited public float, this kind of surge can fuel outsized moves as momentum traders jump in. (Finviz) Why it matters now: investors have snapped up anything linked to “event contracts” and prediction markets. High Roller, a micro-cap, can see its stock shift
