Why High Roller Technologies stock (ROLR) jumped more than 400% after a Crypto.com prediction markets LOI

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 18:22 EST — After-hours. High Roller Technologies shares jumped about 437% on Wednesday and were last at $18.89 in after-hours trade, after the online casino operator moved into prediction markets via a Crypto.com-linked partnership.

(StockAnalysis) Prediction markets are event-based contracts that pay out if a specific outcome happens — a “yes/no” wager dressed up as a tradable instrument. They sit closer to derivatives than sportsbook lines, and the pitch is speed: short-dated bets, quick settlement,

Costco stock edges up as insiders file share sale disclosures ahead of shareholder vote

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 18:13 EST — After-hours trading Costco Wholesale shares ended Wednesday roughly 1% higher, despite new regulatory filings revealing insider sales and a pending proposed sale. The disclosures come just ahead of Costco’s annual shareholder meeting on Thursday, a key event that often sparks trading interest when governance issues are up for a vote and investors seek clues on management’s stance. This meeting takes on added importance with a shareholder vote on a proposal linked to the company’s climate commitments—an area fraught with reputational risks, legal challenges, and growing investor scrutiny.

Walmart stock slips as exec lines up share sale while Nasdaq-100 entry nears

Walmart stock slips as exec lines up share sale while Nasdaq-100 entry nears

New York, January 14, 2026, 16:45 EST — After-hours Walmart Inc. (WMT) shares slipped on Wednesday and were little changed after the bell after a regulatory filing showed a senior executive planned to sell stock. The retailer ended down about 0.3% at $120.04, after trading between $119.05 and $121.22. The timing matters because Walmart is sitting near recent highs and is days away from a major index change that can pull in forced buying. Traders have been treating the stock like a defensive haven in choppy tape, and also a “tech-ish” retail play, which makes even routine insider paperwork worth

Unity Software stock sinks nearly 8% as Wall Street eyes Feb. 11 earnings

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:50 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Unity Software Inc fell 7.8% to $42.12 in late-afternoon trading Wednesday, deepening a selloff among high-growth software names. The videogame development tools firm touched a low of $40.76 during the session, down from $45.67 at Tuesday’s close. This shift is crucial as Unity faces two immediate challenges that could rapidly alter forecasts: an earnings report on the horizon and recent subscription price adjustments. With markets jittery over interest rates, investors have little tolerance for stocks relying on consistent execution to support their valuations. Unity announced Wednesday that it

Via Transportation stock tumbles 10% in late trade as Goldman upgrade meets a weak tape

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:53 EST — Regular session. Via Transportation shares slid 10.2% to $24.14 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, giving back earlier gains and lagging a weaker tech-heavy market. The stock swung between $23.70 and $27.49 on the day. The move lands as investors look for a clear catalyst in a stock that has whipped around since its September listing. Via said on Tuesday it will release fourth-quarter 2025 results before U.S. markets open on Feb. 27 and host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.

Pearson plc stock tumbles on New Jersey contract loss — what investors watch next

Pearson plc stock tumbles on New Jersey contract loss — what investors watch next

London, Jan 14, 2026, 20:39 GMT — Market closed. Pearson shares closed down 9.55% at £9.73 on Wednesday, after the education company said it lost a U.S. student assessment contract in New Jersey that will weigh on the first half of 2026. The fall made it the FTSE 100’s biggest decliner even as the index finished at a record high. (MarketWatch) The setback matters because Pearson’s Assessment & Qualifications division is its biggest business, and U.S. testing work can hinge on periodic state tenders. Chief Financial Officer Sally Johnson said the lost New Jersey contract was worth 20 million to

Lumentum stock slides late Wednesday as tech selloff hits “AI optics” names ahead of earnings

Lumentum stock slides late Wednesday as tech selloff hits “AI optics” names ahead of earnings

New York, January 14, 2026, 15:44 EST — Regular session Lumentum Holdings Inc shares dropped 8.6% to $330.40 in late trading Wednesday, slipping further after hitting $363 earlier in the day. The optical components maker continues to see volatile moves. The selloff is significant since Lumentum serves as a high-beta proxy for data-center expansions, with its shares often swinging wildly when investors pull back from tech. With earnings around the corner, traders are viewing price moves more as shifts in positioning than fresh news. U.S. stocks dipped Wednesday, with tech and financial sectors dragging the Nasdaq down over 1%, as

Navan stock slides nearly 11% as law-firm probes mount; what investors watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 3:36 p.m. EST — Regular session. Navan shares dropped almost 11% to $15.38 in late afternoon trading Wednesday, deepening a volatile stretch for the corporate travel-and-expense software company since its Nasdaq debut. Airbnb, Expedia and Booking Holdings also slipped, though their declines were more modest. This move is significant since Navan remains stuck in the market’s “new IPO” penalty box. Its initial public offering was priced at $25 back in late October, but the stock has frequently slipped below that mark as investors gauge how much growth they’re ready to back in a company linked

Reddit stock slips as insider sales surface, even after Evercore starts RDDT with $320 target

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:16 EST — Regular session Reddit shares dropped roughly 2.5% on Wednesday, erasing some earlier gains following regulatory filings revealing stock sales by two senior executives. The stock traded near $252.52, after fluctuating between $246.85 and $259.62. The disclosures come at a hectic time for the newly public social media firm, with daily trading sharply reactive to any news related to monetisation—whether ads, new formats, or the worth of its data for AI. Evercore ISI kicked off coverage this week with a bullish stance, saying Reddit has ample opportunity to convert its engagement into revenue.
