MP Materials stock pops as William Blair starts coverage and rare-earth price floors hit the agenda again

New York, January 14, 2026, 14:36 EST — Regular session Shares of MP Materials climbed roughly 7.5% Wednesday, closing at $68.63. The rare-earths miner dipped as low as $62.20 earlier in a volatile session before bouncing back. Wall Street is zeroing in on rare-earth supply chains, where policy and pricing weigh heavily alongside production. On Tuesday, William Blair analyst Neal Dingmann kicked off coverage, dubbing MP “the only fully integrated U.S. mine-to-magnet producer.” He highlighted that MP’s U.S. presence is gaining value as governments prioritize non-China sources.

Constellation Software stock tumbles to new 52-week low as investors question acquisition-led growth

Constellation Software stock tumbles to new 52-week low as investors question acquisition-led growth

Toronto, Jan 14, 2026, 14:48 EST Shares of Constellation Software dropped 6.3% to C$3,008.19 by 2:45 p.m. EST Wednesday, having earlier touched a fresh 52-week low of C$3,001.11 in Toronto, according to market data. https://www.investing.com/equities/constellation-software-inc The decline puts the TSX heavyweight roughly 43% under its 52-week peak, yet it still carries a hefty valuation for a firm defined by frequent acquisitions. Constellation’s market cap stood near C$68 billion. https://stockanalysis.com/quote/tsx/CSU/ The drop is significant since Constellation ranks among Canada’s most closely watched “buy-and-build” software companies. Its moves often dictate investor appetite for acquisition-driven growth. Early Wednesday, a Motley Fool column flagged

CrowdStrike stock slips after judge tosses outage lawsuit as CRWD pushes deeper into browser security

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 14:47 ET — Regular session CrowdStrike Holdings’ stock fell 1.7% to $459.98 on Wednesday afternoon after a U.S. judge dismissed a shareholder fraud lawsuit stemming from the cybersecurity firm’s July 2024 outage. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman said investors failed to show the company or its executives misled them about software testing before an update crashed more than 8 million Microsoft Windows computers. The New York State Common Retirement Fund, led by Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, said the decision was “under review,” while CrowdStrike’s chief legal officer Cathleen Anderson welcomed the dismissal; Delta Air Lines’ separate

Caterpillar stock pauses after a record high and $300 billion tease — what’s next for CAT shares

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 14:58 EST — Regular session Caterpillar shares slipped 0.04% to $636.29 in Wednesday afternoon trading, taking a breather after the heavy-equipment giant hit a record intraday peak the day before. (Bloomberg.com) The stock’s surge has shifted its image from a classic economic bellwether to an “AI infrastructure” play, with investors zeroing in on firms that build and operate data centers—not just those that design the underlying chips. This is significant as major investors aim to extend the AI play past just megacap tech. BlackRock noted clients planning AI investments through 2026 are favoring energy and

Delta Air Lines stock slides again after 2026 outlook — here’s what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 14:40 EST — Regular session Shares of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL) dropped roughly 2% to $67.97 in Wednesday afternoon trading, extending losses following the airline’s annual outlook and fleet update released the day before. United Airlines, American Airlines, and Southwest Airlines also saw declines. This is significant as Delta stands among the first big U.S. carriers to lay out a specific profit forecast for the coming year.

New York, January 14, 2026, 14:32 (EST) — Regular session Shares of PepsiCo (PEP) climbed 1.7%, reaching $145.98 in afternoon trading on Wednesday. The rise followed a shift toward defensive sectors after mixed earnings from major banks weighed on financial stocks, with losses spilling over into tech, Reuters reported. “These stocks had a strong run-up … so a pullback is not unusual,” said Jake Johnston, deputy CIO at Advisors Asset Management. (Reuters) The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund climbed 1.4%, even as the S&P 500 ETF dropped 0.8%. Coca-Cola, PepsiCo’s main U.S. soft-drink competitor, edged up slightly. Evercore ISI

Freeport-McMoRan stock climbs as copper hits a fresh record — what to watch next for FCX

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 14:27 EST — Regular session Freeport-McMoRan shares climbed roughly 2% Wednesday afternoon, boosted by another jump in copper prices that kept the miner close to its yearly peak. The stock hit $60.50, up 1.9%, and briefly touched $61.13 earlier in the session. This matters because FCX has turned into a fast route for equity investors betting on copper, a metal now behaving less like a basic industrial commodity and more like a scarce financial asset. Each additional dollar in copper prices can swiftly reshape profit calculations for miners sitting on large, long-term copper deposits. Copper’s

American Express stock slips as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap keeps AXP on edge

New York, January 14, 2026, 14:26 EST — Regular session American Express shares were down 0.6% at $356.00 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, as investors kept a policy discount on credit-card lenders even as some payments peers steadied. Visa edged up 0.1% and Mastercard gained 0.1%, while the S&P 500 ETF fell about 0.9% and the financial sector ETF was down roughly 0.5%. The drag is a proposal backed by U.S. President Donald Trump for a one-year cap that would limit credit-card interest rates to 10% starting Jan. 20, a direct hit to interest income in the sector.

UEC stock jumps nearly 11% as uranium supply squeeze talk returns — and a Feb. 27 vote looms

New York, January 14, 2026, 14:02 EST — Regular session underway Shares of Uranium Energy Corp climbed 10.8% to $17.23 on Wednesday, after peaking at $17.34 earlier. The stock started the day at $15.55 and dipped to a low of $15.13, with roughly 9.4 million shares traded. This move counts now because uranium prices barely have to shift to rattle this trade. The spot market remains thin, the supply chain is tangled in politics, and utilities continue locking in fuel through multi-year contracts. A Reuters analysis on Wednesday highlighted a growing U.S. supply gap as consumption outpaces mine production, driven

Hecla Mining (HL) slipped 1.9%, while First Majestic Silver (AG) and Pan American Silver (PAAS) gave back some earlier gains.

Verizon dividend yield breaks 7% as VZ slides — what $1,000 a year in payouts now takes

Verizon dividend yield breaks 7% as VZ slides — what $1,000 a year in payouts now takes

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 13:56 (EST) Verizon Communications’ dividend yield climbed above 7% Tuesday when the stock hit $38.90, holding near that price on Wednesday. By early afternoon in New York, Verizon had risen roughly 1.6% to $39.65. Shares of AT&T and T-Mobile also edged higher. (Nasdaq) This shift is significant today because such a jump in yield typically reflects price changes, not increased payouts. Dividend yield equals the annual cash payment per share divided by the stock price, so if shares drop, the yield can spike sharply without the company altering its dividend. Verizon declared its most recent
