Mastercard stock price edges higher after hours as MA earnings take center stage

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 18:17 EST — After-hours Shares of Mastercard Incorporated ended Monday up roughly 0.5%, closing at $527.36, and showed little movement in after-hours trading. The stock fluctuated between $522.70 and $530.23, with around 4.8 million shares traded. Thursday’s quarterly update from the card network is the next key event, offering one of the clearest snapshots of consumer spending. Investors will focus on cross-border volume — purchases made outside a cardholder’s home country — since these usually generate higher fees. The Dow climbed roughly 0.6%, the S&P 500 edged up 0.5%, and the Nasdaq rose 0.4% as

USA Rare Earth stock jumps on $1.6B U.S. backing — PIPE closing date and dilution in focus

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 18:03 EST — After-hours Shares of USA Rare Earth (USAR) climbed 7.9% to finish Monday at $26.72, before slipping roughly 1% in after-hours trading. The move followed the company’s announcement of a government-supported financing strategy linked to its U.S. rare-earths expansion. (Investing.com) The company announced it has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s CHIPS program, outlining $277 million in proposed federal funding and a proposed $1.3 billion senior secured loan. Additionally, it secured a $1.5 billion private investment in public equity (PIPE) led by Inflection Point. CEO Barbara

UnitedHealth (UNH) stock slides after-hours as CMS proposes near-flat 2027 Medicare Advantage payments

UnitedHealth (UNH) stock slides after-hours as CMS proposes near-flat 2027 Medicare Advantage payments

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 18:12 ET — After-hours Shares of UnitedHealth Group dropped over 10% in after-hours trading Monday, following a U.S. health official proposal that would barely increase 2027 payments for Medicare Advantage plans. The rate notice is crucial because Medicare Advantage — the privately run alternative to traditional Medicare — fuels growth for major insurers and provides consistent cash flow. Even a slight tweak in the annual payment calculations can ripple through pricing models well before it impacts income statements. It thrusts risk adjustment back into focus. This payment formula increases reimbursements when plans report sicker patients,

Intel stock slides again after weak outlook — what comes next for INTC?

Intel stock slides again after weak outlook — what comes next for INTC?

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 17:42 EST — After-hours Intel shares dropped roughly 5.7% on Monday, closing near $42.49 in after-hours trading. Roughly 149 million shares traded hands. The slide is significant because Intel’s narrative has reversed quickly: demand appears robust, yet the company admits it can’t meet shipment targets. That’s a tough spot for a stock that was valued on a smooth rebound. The decline comes after a 17% plunge on Friday when Intel’s forecast fell short of expectations, despite U.S. indexes climbing ahead of a week loaded with mega-cap tech earnings and a Federal Reserve policy update.

Natural gas just hit a 3-year high — what’s driving prices and UNG, EQT this week

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 17:19 EST — After-hours U.S. natural gas futures soared once more on Monday, climbing almost 30% to close at $6.80 per million British thermal units (mmBtu). This marked their highest finish since December 2022. The spike came after a winter storm hit energy infrastructure hard, causing producers to halt output. (Reuters) The rally is hitting electricity markets fast, driven by heating demand clashing with tight gas supplies. Pieter Mul, associate partner at PA Consulting’s energy and utilities practice, noted, “Without native supplies of natural gas, the Eastern seaboard relies on a pipeline network that is

The boost came after the company revealed a government-backed funding plan linked to its rare earth goals. During the day, the stock swung between $25.81 and $39.91, with around 122 million shares changing hands. These developments carry weight as Washington commits significant funds to the rare earth supply chain—a strategy investors view as a blend of industrial policy and national security.

Gold price breaks $5,100 record as dollar slips; Fed decision in focus

New York, January 26, 2026, 17:07 EST — After-hours Gold briefly soared past $5,100 an ounce on Monday, hitting a record high before pulling back. Spot gold climbed 1.42% to $5,053.37 after reaching $5,110.50. The dollar weakened ahead of the Federal Reserve’s expected decision to hold rates steady, as indicated by CME’s FedWatch tool.

Micron stock slides on Samsung’s Nvidia HBM4 push — what MU investors watch next

New York, January 26, 2026, 16:55 EST — After-hours Shares of Micron Technology, Inc. (MU.O) dropped 2.6% on Monday, closing at $389.09. The slump followed news that Samsung Electronics is edging nearer to providing Nvidia with a new breed of top-tier memory chips. The decline is significant since Micron’s recent gains have hinged on high-bandwidth memory, or HBM — stacked DRAM paired with AI processors to speed up data transfer and reduce power consumption. If a competitor starts securing qualification and production slots for the upcoming HBM cycle, it could shift investor expectations around growth and margins. HBM remains a
