Home Depot stock price slips as tariff fears hit retailers, even after TD Cowen raises target

New York, January 20, 2026, 15:20 ET — Regular session Shares of Home Depot dropped 1.4%, closing at $374.87 Tuesday afternoon. The decline came amid a broad risk-off shift in U.S. stocks that weighed heavily on consumer-focused companies. Selling intensified after President Donald Trump renewed tariff threats against Europe amid his push for the U.S. to buy Greenland. Trump announced a 10% import tariff starting Feb. 1 on goods from eight European countries, rising to 25% on June 1. Allianz Investment Management strategist Charlie Ripley described Tuesday’s move as a “contained version” of April’s “Liberation Day” shock. (Reuters) Investors are

NEW YORK, Jan 20, 2026, 15:20 EST — Regular session Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies slipped roughly 8.3% to $28.57 in afternoon trading Tuesday, extending losses after the company released new details on its crypto assets.

Why CrowdStrike stock is sliding today: CRWD hit by tariff jitters despite new cloud plan

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 14:19 EST — Regular session CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. shares dropped 2.8% to $441.18 in Tuesday afternoon trading, retreating despite the cybersecurity firm’s announcement of a new effort to boost regional cloud capacity. The move is significant as “data sovereignty” — rules mandating sensitive data remain within national borders — increasingly block major security contracts. Vendors providing local data storage while maintaining access to global threat intelligence typically hold an advantage in regulated markets. The tape looked rough.

New York, January 20, 2026, 12:53 ET — Regular session Shares of United Microelectronics Corp surged roughly 16% Tuesday, pushing the Taiwan chipmaker to lead the semiconductor sector while broader U.S. markets dipped. UMC climbed $1.52 to $10.82, hitting an intraday high of $10.93. This shift is significant as investors target “mature-node” chips—older manufacturing tech still crucial for power chips, sensors, and connectivity components in cars and data-centre equipment.
