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

Scorpio Tankers stock jumps nearly 9% on net-cash update as investors eye a February catalyst

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 12:12 PM EST — Regular session Shares of Scorpio Tankers Inc jumped nearly 9% to $59.85 by midday Tuesday, pushing the tanker owner into the ranks of the day’s top performers in shipping.

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 11:51 EST — Regular session Shares of Eli Lilly and Company inched up 0.2% to $1,083.63 on Tuesday, fluctuating between $1,070 and $1,090 as roughly 736,000 shares exchanged hands. The move followed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s request that drugmakers strip suicide-related warnings from labels on GLP-1 weight-loss medications, including Lilly’s Zepbound and Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy. (Reuters) The request matters because safety language on labels can influence how quickly doctors prescribe and how confident insurers feel about coverage.
