SYDNEY, Jan 14, 2026, 16:50 AEDT — After-hours Northern Star Resources Ltd shares closed Wednesday 1.4% higher at A$26.73, building on gains fueled by the recent jump in gold prices. With the ASX closed, the key question for the next session is whether that tailwind can continue driving miners forward, especially as their output and costs remain under scrutiny following a rocky start to the year. Northern Star’s focus next week is clear: the December-quarter results and any revisions to cost forecasts. After the production downgrade, investors are zeroed in on the financial impact. Australian shares closed a touch higher,

Verizon (VZ) stock slides as FCC eases phone-unlocking rule, earnings next on deck

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 20:44 EST — The market has closed. Shares of Verizon Communications Inc dropped 2.08% to $39.01 by Tuesday’s close, marking their third consecutive session of losses amid fresh regulatory developments and a turbulent market for defensive, high-yield names. (StockAnalysis) On Monday, the Federal Communications Commission gave Verizon a waiver from a longstanding rule that forced the carrier to unlock handsets 60 days after activation. The FCC’s order cited concerns that “criminal networks are specifically targeting Verizon handsets” under the current policy, tying the exemption to efforts against device theft and trafficking.

Costco stock barely moves after-hours as insider sale hits the tape ahead of key dates

Costco stock barely moves after-hours as insider sale hits the tape ahead of key dates

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 18:54 EST — After-hours Shares of Costco Wholesale Corp (COST.O) dipped modestly on Tuesday, holding steady in after-hours trading as investors digested news of a recent insider sale amid the busy earnings season. This filing matters because Costco is seen as a reliable consumer play, and even minor signals—like insider trades, foot traffic data, or membership growth—can sway the stock amid broader market turbulence. Rate-sensitive shares are also jittery, reacting strongly to inflation figures and changing Fed policy bets. Costco faces a packed schedule in the coming weeks. The company’s shareholder meeting is slated for

Palantir stock (PLTR) slips after hours as Feb. 2 earnings date set and Citi turns bullish

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 17:30 EST — After-hours Palantir Technologies shares dipped roughly 0.3% to $178.96 in after-hours trading Tuesday, as investors mulled the software maker’s next catalyst following a choppy session.

Venture Global stock jumps after-hours after LNG guidance cut as U.S. gas market turns choppy

NEW YORK, January 13, 2026, 17:03 ET — After-hours trading Venture Global shares climbed roughly 6.7% to $7.88 in after-hours trading Tuesday, recovering some ground after a steep drop earlier this week triggered by a lowered full-year profit forecast. This shift is significant since Venture Global offloads a big portion of its liquefied natural gas on the spot market, where profits fluctuate based on the difference between U.S. benchmark gas and international LNG prices — plus the expenses of shipping cargoes across the Atlantic. The outlook shifted sharply. On Tuesday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration slashed its first-quarter Henry Hub

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 14:59 EST — Regular session Figma’s stock dropped 7% to $33.85 during Tuesday afternoon trading, following Goldman Sachs analyst Gabriela Borges initiating coverage with a Neutral rating and a $40 price target.

(StreetInsider.com) The call is significant as Figma continues to search for a stable footing following a volatile post-IPO period.

Verizon stock drops as FCC loosens phone unlocking rule and traders look to earnings next

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 15:09 EST — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares fell 2.4% to $38.89 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, lagging the broader market a day after U.S. regulators eased a long-standing phone-unlocking rule. The change matters because “unlocking” determines whether a handset can be used on a rival network, which shapes how easily customers can switch. Verizon has argued the old timeline made its devices easier to steal and resell, while consumer advocates say faster unlocking lowers switching costs and boosts competition. Late Monday, the Federal Communications Commission revised its rule requiring Verizon to unlock phones
