Cleveland-Cliffs stock dips in premarket after KeyBanc downgrade flags costs, valuation

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 07:36 EST — Premarket Cleveland-Cliffs shares slipped 0.5% to $11.98 in premarket trade on Thursday after KeyBanc cut the U.S. steelmaker to “sector weight”, a neutral rating, from “overweight”.

The Cleveland, Ohio-based company is vertically integrated from iron ore through steelmaking and sells value-added sheet products, especially to automakers. Reuters The stock closed at $12.04 on Wednesday, down 9.27%, one of its sharpest one-day drops in months.

Lithium prices keep climbing — Albemarle stock edges up premarket on fresh upgrades

Lithium prices keep climbing — Albemarle stock edges up premarket on fresh upgrades

NEW YORK, January 8, 2026, 07:28 EST — Premarket Albemarle (ALB.N) rose 2.2% in premarket trading on Thursday to $161.57, as investors leaned into a new round of bullish analyst calls tied to higher lithium prices. The move matters because lithium stocks have been trading like a pure bet on the commodity again. When the price of lithium carbonate rises, profits at miners and refiners can swing fast; when it falls, balance sheets get stress-tested. This time, analysts are talking less about electric vehicles and more about the grid. Stationary energy storage — big battery packs that store electricity for

Broadcom stock in focus: AVGO holds steady after $4.5 billion bond deal, key data ahead

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 07:44 EST — Premarket Broadcom shares were little changed in premarket trading on Thursday after the company priced a $4.5 billion bond offering and flagged plans to use the cash for general corporate purposes and debt repayment. The stock was down 0.1% at $343.50. The debt deal matters now because rate expectations have been jumpy, and long-dated borrowing costs feed straight into funding math for big issuers. Traders are also staring at a heavy U.S. data run: the monthly jobs report is due Friday, and the December consumer price index is scheduled for Jan. 13. Bureau

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:14 EST — Premarket Rivian Automotive (RIVN.O) rose 2.8% to $20.06 in U.S. premarket trading on Thursday after regulators said the EV maker is recalling about 20,000 vehicles, while Lucid Group (LCID.O) fell 4.9% and Tesla (TSLA.O) slipped 0.4%.
