Zenas BioPharma stock slides again premarket after INDIGO Phase 3 data sparks fresh scrutiny

New York, January 6, 2026, 08:44 EST — Premarket Zenas BioPharma (ZBIO.O) shares were down 5.8% at $15.66 in premarket trading on Tuesday after ending Monday down 51.9% at $16.61. MarketScreener The slide follows a late-stage readout for the company’s lead drug obexelimab in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), a rare immune condition that can inflame and scar organs. Zenas met the main goal, but Wedbush analyst Martin Fan said investors were looking for a stronger effect than the hazard ratio of 0.44, a measure of risk over time where lower is better. Amgen’s Uplizna, the only FDA-approved treatment for IgG4-RD, cut

AbbVie stock flat premarket after Canada OKs Maviret for acute hepatitis C — what investors watch next

AbbVie stock flat premarket after Canada OKs Maviret for acute hepatitis C — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 6, 2026, 08:02 EST — Premarket AbbVie shares were flat in premarket trading on Tuesday after the drugmaker said Health Canada had approved its hepatitis C pill Maviret for both acute and chronic infection. AbbVie stock last traded at $220.18. The expanded label matters because it opens the door to treatment soon after diagnosis, when infections are recent and transmission risk can be higher. The company said the eight-week, pan-genotypic regimen — meaning it works across major virus types — is now cleared in Canada for acute and chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). AbbVie fell 3.98% on

Brazil stock market today: Oil shock, Ibovespa reshuffle and a CEO switch to watch before the B3 bell

Sao Paulo, Jan 6, 2026, 06:55 BRT — Premarket Brazil’s benchmark Ibovespa heads into Tuesday’s open near recent highs after closing up 0.83% at 161,869.76 points, as investors weighed Venezuela-related geopolitical risk against firmer commodities. Bora Investir Why it matters now: the index is heavily tilted toward banks and commodity-linked names, so swings in crude and iron ore can quickly set the tone for the whole tape. That sensitivity is amplified this week by portfolio rebalancing tied to the new Ibovespa composition. Bora Investir+1 Rate expectations are the other pressure point.

Adobe stock slips on Jefferies downgrade as AI payoff questioned — what to watch next

Adobe stock slips on Jefferies downgrade as AI payoff questioned — what to watch next

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:40 EST — Market closed Adobe (ADBE.O) shares slipped on Monday after Jefferies downgraded the Photoshop maker to “hold,” arguing that the company’s push to monetise new artificial intelligence tools is not yet translating into faster growth. The stock ended down 0.5% at $331.56. Investing.com The downgrade matters now because investors are re-pricing software stocks around a simple question: will generative AI add incremental subscription revenue, or pressure the value of traditional application licences? For Adobe, which has leaned on Creative Cloud subscriptions for years, that debate is moving from product demos to revenue math.

Walmart stock: Mizuho lifts target but drops WMT from top picks as Feb. 19 earnings loom

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:03 EST — Market closed Walmart Inc shares were last at $112.71 after U.S. markets shut, little changed in late after-hours trading. The muted move masks a bigger question hanging over big-box retail at the start of 2026: whether spending holds up as inflation remains elevated and the labor market shows signs of cooling. For Walmart, that debate matters because it sits at the intersection of grocery essentials and discretionary categories. Investors tend to treat it as both a consumer bellwether and a defensive name when households tighten budgets. In Monday’s regular session, Walmart closed

Micron stock whipsaws as “unprecedented” AI memory shortage tightens supply

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 16:09 EST — After-hours Micron Technology Inc (MU) closed down 3.68 points, or about 1.2%, at $311.74 on Monday after a volatile session that saw the stock trade between $309.60 and $328.44. The chipmaker opened at $325 versus Friday’s close of $315.42, with volume near 30.7 million shares. The late fade matters because Micron has become a high-beta gauge of how far the AI buildout can push memory pricing. After a steep run, traders have been quicker to lock in gains, even on broadly constructive sector headlines. Investors are also debating whether the memory upturn
