GOOG stock turns flat after early spike as EU sets Wiz deal deadline and Cantor upgrades Alphabet

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 10:18 (EST) — Regular session Alphabet’s non-voting Class C shares were little changed on Thursday after EU regulators set a Feb. 10 deadline for an initial call on Google’s planned Wiz purchase and after Cantor Fitzgerald lifted its rating. The stock opened higher and then sagged, tracking the broader wobble in growth shares. The deadline matters because Wiz would be Alphabet’s biggest deal and a rare megacap bet on cloud security, an area where deals now draw instant scrutiny. A longer review can freeze a transaction for months, keeping investors guessing on costs and timing.

AST SpaceMobile stock tries to bounce after analyst calls valuation “irrational”

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 08:21 EST — Premarket AST SpaceMobile shares were up 3.6% at $88.80 in premarket trading on Thursday, a day after the satellite-to-phone company lost about 12% in the regular session. MarketBeat The move keeps the focus on a stock that has been swinging hard as investors argue over how fast space-based cellular broadband turns into real demand, not just tests. This matters now because the business model needs heavy spending up front and a steady run of launches before it can offer continuous service. That leaves little room for delays or a slow start, especially
