BAE Systems stock: what to watch before London opens after Deutsche Bank downgrade, $184 mln Marine Corps order

London, Jan 15, 2026, 07:13 GMT — Premarket update. BAE Systems (BAES.L) shares are under the spotlight ahead of Thursday’s London open after a broker downgrade hit a stock that has already surged this year. On Wednesday, the shares slipped 1.64%, closing at 2,038 pence. https://www.marketwatch.com/data-news/bae-systems-slides-wednesday-underperforms-market-84f75b65-70572457ab3b Timing is crucial here. Defence stocks have become a crowded trade across Europe, and any pullback can quickly snowball as fund managers question what’s already baked into prices. That trend remains intact. Europe’s aerospace and defence index has gained roughly 55% over the last year. Meanwhile, defence budgets among EU countries rose to 343

Qualcomm (QCOM) stock slips as Trump’s AI-chip tariff and RBC’s “no catalysts” call hit the tape

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 20:50 EST — Market closed. QUALCOMM Incorporated shares ended Wednesday down 0.5% at $164.54 and dipped a bit more in after-hours trading, following a fresh U.S. tariff ruling affecting certain AI chips that shook the semiconductor sector. Source: Finviz The late policy shock is significant since chip stocks have been reacting to tariffs and supply-chain risks as much as to earnings. Even a whiff that trade restrictions might expand beyond a limited group of products can put a ceiling on rallies, including for firms not directly targeted. Qualcomm faces a tricky backdrop. It remains heavily

Uber stock dips after NYC says Uber Eats and DoorDash cut tips by $550 million — what to watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 19:46 EST — After-hours Uber Technologies, Inc. shares fell 0.8% to $84.65 in after-hours trading on Wednesday after New York City said changes to the Uber Eats and DoorDash apps helped drive down delivery-worker tips.

It also drops into the run-up to Uber’s next earnings update, when investors will be looking for any sign that

Home Depot stock slips as housing sales pick up; traders eye Feb. 24 earnings

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 19:06 EST — After-hours Shares of Home Depot (HD) slipped roughly 1% on Wednesday, ending at $375.95 in after-hours trading. The home-improvement chain finds itself caught between rising mortgage rates and shifting consumer confidence. While increased housing activity can boost renovation spending, steep borrowing costs continue to discourage major projects. Investors found new momentum in housing data. U.S. existing home sales surged 5.1% in December, hitting a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.35 million. The National Association of Realtors linked the rise to easing mortgage rates. “In the fourth quarter, conditions began improving,” said chief

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 18:57 ET — After-hours Bloom Energy (BE.N) shares fell 4.5% to $133.46 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, giving back ground after a sharp early-January run. The stock swung between $130.01 and $140.00 during the session. The move matters because Bloom has become a crowded way to play the surge in electricity demand tied to artificial intelligence data centers, and investors are getting pickier on price. BlackRock said clients looking at AI into 2026 favored energy and infrastructure providers over big tech, based on a survey it cited. (Reuters) U.S. power demand is also moving into

Wells Fargo stock drops after earnings miss as rate-cap fears linger — what to watch next

New York, January 14, 2026, 17:37 EST — After-hours Wells Fargo & Company shares fell roughly 4.6% to $89.25 in after-hours trading Wednesday, following a fourth-quarter earnings miss. This marked the bank’s first full quarter after U.S. regulators finally lifted its longstanding asset cap. (Reuters) The miss hit hard since investors were counting on a straightforward catch-up trade now that the Fed lifted the cap on Wells Fargo’s balance sheet. The bank could finally expand, but the market expected interest income to come through clearly and guidance to meet expectations. Bank stocks took a broader hit, showing little tolerance for

The latest move hits as U.S. banks roll into results season and investors try to gauge what still works: deal fees, sticky corporate cash, and consumer credit — or just tight expense control. Citi sits right in that crossfire. CEO Jane Fraser has pushed a multi-year overhaul, and traders have grown impatient with any sign the path to stronger returns is slipping. Citi reported fourth-quarter net income of
